    The Outer Worlds is an extremely familiar experience that successfully draws inspiration from some of the most appreciated gaming series of the 21st century. It's well written with lots of exciting twists in the story and has lots of memorable moments. The character gallery and humor definitely carry the story and although some elements could have been improved, we still are very fond of Obsidian's new space opera.

    Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is even better now that we can follow Vaan, Balthier and the gang on the couch, during the train or vacation. Functions like fast forwarding and auto-saving come in handy when we explore huge catacombs and endless fields, especially for portable gaming.

    After nearly two weeks with Starfield, the feeling is that there is still plenty to see and do. An epic space adventure in every way that will suck you into a black hole of entertainment. The game has its problems – especially in the weak main campaign – but you'll definitely have other things to do.

    After nearly 12 years Doom is back, and what a comeback. The action is both intensive and smooth, the combat mechanic is surprisingly deep and the graphics are fantastic. On the negative side the design starts to feel a bit repetitive towards the end, and the online mode isn’t as balanced as the best games in the genre. But overall, Doom is just pure fun.

    Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a clear upgrade of the original concept. The feeling of being the Spider-Man is constantly there, especially when we swing through a technically impressive Manhattan that we have never seen before in games. It is simply a demonstration and a new standard for how open, endless worlds can be built with the help of the next generation of consoles.

    Definitely a greater game than the first Nioh, although still difficult to recommend to all action aficionados out there. After all, it's still a "soulsborne" type game and will take a lot of your time. Those with patience will experience the greatest fulfillment after defeating the various difficult bosses. But if you're not ready to devote your free time to memorize the fighting system: Turn around! There are limits to how much we can die before our console goes out the window.

    Saber Interactive has set a new standard for Switch conversions - now other developers can no longer blame the hardware. It is not a perfect depiction of the earlier versions technically, but that was never really the point. For those who intend to play on the TV, then console or PC versions are preferred. But if you want to carry with you one of the biggest adventures of recent years, there is no doubt. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Switch contains everything we loved about Geralt's latest adventure and is the ultimate proof that the game has unbelievably more substance than just a detailed world.

    Steamworld Dig 2 triumphs over the first game in every single aspect. The world is better designed and the gameplay is more polished. It may not be a new Super Metroid, but it's close enough.

    Two Point Hospital is a spiritual sequel to the 90’s classic Theme Hospital. The goal is to build hospitals, hire staff, attract patients, ensure that the budget is kept up and so on. That may not sound very fun at all, but thanks to a lot of humor, easy-going gameplay, a well-balanced difficulty level and constant rewards, it is easy to get sucked into the hospital world for hours. Two Point Hospital is simply a modern version of the laid-back and fun-filled simulators that charmed the gaming world 20 years ago.

    In all its weirdness Yakuza 0 is as charming as the series ever has been. It isn't a game for everyone, but for those who fall for this there will be tons of stuff to do, wonderful settings to visit and well-written characters to meet.

    Destiny 2 is not as much a revolution as it is an evolution, expanding on every facet of the original game. Even though the story sometimes stumble it is a big leap forward for Bungie, and the wealth of content in Destiny 2 will surely satisfy even the most hardcore players.

    Although the original developer Psygnosis does not exist anymore, Wipeout is better than ever - and we sincerely hope that Wipeout Omega Collection is not the last entry in the series.

    Stunning graphics, fluid gameplay and high-adrenaline action make the 2016 reboot of Ratchet & Clank shine, despite lack of depth and interesting side-objectives.

    Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a delightful adventure with clever level design and enjoyable gameplay. The new mouthful mode works surprisingly well and adds a great deal of variety. It’s a shame that the low difficulty makes parts of the adventure somewhat forgettable, but overall - this is one of the best 3D-platformers since Super Mario Odyssey.

    The Switch version of Darkest Dungeon may have some sluggish controls, but the game itself is as brilliant as ever. A must-have if you into challenging games like Dark Souls.

    Starcraft: Remastered is a great but somewhat superfluous upgrade with the original game still being supported and free to play at that. Still it´s hard to fault anyone for wanting to enjoy this versions upgraded sound and graphics since the price point is so low. Starcraft is still fantastic but the remaster it´s more of a thing for pros and nostalgia than for a new set of players.

    FIFA 17 is in every detail better than FIFA 16. The new game engine gives you a smoother gameplay, Journey is a great way to implement a campaign in a sport game and there is just a ton of things to do. On the pitch, however, PES 2017 is the better game this year – mainly because of better AI and deeper mechanics.

    With Dirt 4 Codemasters tries to cater fans of both the unforgivingly excellent Dirt Rally and the more accessible Dirt 3. It works a lot better than we initially thought, but it also leads to a somewhat lacking experience that does a lot of things right - but few things perfectly.

    Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is both charming and satisfyingly deep at the same time. The strategic fights are often easy to understand but hard to beat. It’s a surprising well-made marriage between the iconic Nintendo characters and the irreverent Rabbids.

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time has everything that made Naughty Dog's original trilogy one of the most popular game series of the second half of the 90's. The same addictive gameplay is mixed with new elements we have not seen before in the series. The result is an adventure that we continue to play long after the final scenes have rolled by.

    The story and most of the characters feel a bit too traditional, but aside from that Ni No Kuni II is a game that never disappoints. It's one of the most beautiful and heart-warming adventures in a long while, and it's better than the first game in every single respect.

    It took four Formula One games on the current console generation, but with F1 2018, Codemasters finally succeeds in most areas. Most of the bugs are gone, the tracks look better than ever, the career mode is deeper, and the physics are improved. The only thing we miss is more variety outside of the excellent career mode.

    Lonely Mountains: Downhill is the perfect game to play between other big gaming sessions. It's easy to pick up and the adrenaline will become addictive. The only real downside is that the control methods take time to get used to, which can deter some.

    After four years, the Hitman trilogy is coming to an end. And what an end it is. Not necessarily in terms of story, but in terms of gameplay, Io Interactive has put together a fantastic sandbox that invites to both brutal, clever, and purely comic murders. Depending on your play style, the game might be too short and easy, but if you let yourself be entranced by the atmosphere and play calmly and methodically, there is a ton a enjoyment to be had here.

    The most definitive and complete versions yet. Although we do enjoy all the enhancements and quality of life changes to the games mechanism, it’s still reuses a lot of content from the predecessors.

    Like its predecessors, Shin Megami Tensei V in a rpg that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, filled with bizarre and beautifully designed demons and classic rpg battles - which are as difficult as they are entertaining. What is missing, however, are memorable main characters and a story that grabs our interest from the start. But if a challenging combat system and a dark, exciting world are more important than a group of colorful teens saving the world, then Shin Megami Tensei V is the game for you.

    When Codemaster's acclaimed F1 series makes its debut on the new consoles, it is not the enhanced graphics that make the biggest impact, but a brand-new story mode. An exciting addition, which unfortunately does not reach its full potential. Fortunately, the superb career mode is intact and slightly improved, as are the many options available to those who prefer to play online. Although some content has been removed since last year's version, and a few other issues remain, F1 2021 offers almost everything an F1 fan could wish for.

    If you haven’t played Bioshock before, this is truly a masterpiece of collection. It includes three great action games, and especially the first two is still outstanding. Howerer, Bioshock: The Collection doesn’t really offer anything new. It would have been more than welcome with more content for those that already have played through the series.

    Prey really wants to be the strange science fiction cousin to Dishonored, with varied combat and deep world building. Arkane Studios has really succeeded with the latter. It's easy to tolerate the lackluster combat when Talos 1 is such a fascinating place to visit.

    With great graphics, a surprisingly decent story and meaty battles with an extra tactical layer thanks to Jack the flying robot, Gears 5 surprises us a whole lot. We were skeptical at first, but The Coalition has managed to outshine Epic’s Gears of War titles in most ways. Just beware of all the bugs.
