Anyone who can overlook the difficulties will still have fun with the new generation. After all, the core remains collecting medals and completing the Pokédex, which is also entertaining in the new editions, coupled with the open structure. Maybe the Pokémon Company will be able to fix the current construction sites for the tenth generation in a few years.

The open-world sandbox is so beautifully absurd, so funny, so broken that you just can't help but love this heap of dung that has become a game.

Somerville shows a ton of promise in its dramatic opening sequence, but sadly becomes a bit of a slog after a while. The game definitely has its moments, like some beautiful vistas, neat puzzles and a few pulse-pounding chaces, but the uneven pacing, wonky controls and unsatisfying conclusion make it really hard to enjoy sometimes.

If you expect Somerville to be as polished and gripping as the all-time favourite Inside, you are in for a disappointment. The game sure has its moments, even though it turns into a slog pretty fast.

All in all Sackboy: A New Adventure is nevertheless a solid pc port. With the right hardware it's even possible to make the game world look really beautiful. Because there is no different or additional content compared to the PS5 version, our rating remains identical to the original. 

Even the weakest version of Nier: Automata is an unforgettable, mindblowing experience you absolutely shouldn’t miss. Play it on one of the other platforms, if you can, as the 30 FPS lock makes the extremely dynamic action feel a bit sluggish, but if you play exclusively on Switch, you’re getting a well-made port of one of the best and unique games the last console generation had to offer.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has so much potential: A very varied and exciting campaign, great gunplay and overall with story, multiplayer and soon Warzone 2.0 so much to offer. But unfortunately the multiplayer, the main part of the shooter, has a lot of bugs, technical issues and missing content. It’s still fun to play, but the release of the game came some weeks too early.

God of War: Ragnarok is simply fantastic. The story is excellently told, the characters outstandingly written, and the many gameplay innovations so well thought out and fun that the entire game is just a joy to play. From the first hour to the last, I found myself emotionally rooting along and worrying about the fate of the characters. The twists and turns in the story and all the sometimes really ingenious ideas captivated me time and time again.

Platinum Games‘ return to form manages to deliver one of the most action-packed and over the top games of recent memory. Bayonetta's demon slaves enrich the already deep combat even further and are both fun to watch and control. Sure, the story is as convoluted and uninteresting as ever, not all of the game‘s many mechanics and set-pieces are as polished as the combat and the Switch‘s aging hardware doesn’t do the graphics any favors. But if you like your action games fast, fluid and completely bonkers, this is a tour de force that packs enough punch and content to be worth the asking price.

Gotham Knights, which can be described as mediocre at best, doesn't really know what it wants to be or how it would like to sell its story at any stage. No gameplay area of the new Batman game can truly shine, and as if that isn't difficult enough, the great Arkham series adds an extra burden to it. And that's what Batman died for?

The fight system, character management and abundancy of content are great, the different battle maps and objectives add variety and despite all those systems the game isn't just challenging but also beginner friendly. […] Sadly, the story and presentation fail to add on to this solid foundation.

New Tales from the Borderlands is a coherent adventure game that manages to convey the wit and charm of the Borderlands universe. Also because the game doesn't take itself, its universe and video games in general too seriously. As gamers, we quickly warmed up to the excellently written protagonists and rooted for them as they tried to master the imponderables of their adventure. However, the developers could have done a bit more with gameplay and scope.

Scorn isn’t for everyone. Gameplay lacks depth and it is definitely on the short side. But none of that matters once you take in the incredible art direction and haunting atmosphere. Scorn may not be a great game at times, but as far as experiences go, this is a most memorable one.

Surreal, grotesque and hauntingly beautiful. Scorn does not offer much in terms of story or depth, but the atmosphere and art direction are off the charts. It's a short, sometimes confusing experience and if you are looking for a shooter, by all means, look somewhere else. But if you keep your expectations in check (and have a taste for some seriously twisted stuff), you are in for a ride that will stay with you long after the credits rolled.

LEGO Bricktales feels like a short vacation to your childhood if you grew up with games like LEGO Island. The cubicle worlds look stunning, and the gameplay offers a nice and balanced mix between exploration and building. However, the game is a bit too short and too easy and would benefit from a full sandbox mode.

With its stylish Anime-inspired presentation, accessible combat and intriguing plot, Soulstice makes a strong first impression. Over the course of the game’s 15 to 20 hour runtime, however, the shallow, often chaotic combat, mindnumbing level design and uninteresting progression system drag it down quite a lot. If you desperately crave a new, somewhat big budget hack & slay, the game might be worth a look, but don’t expect it to reach the heights of any Devil May Cry or Bayonetta.

If you can look past its controversial art style and some lukewarm jokes, you will find a good adventure game that captures a lot of what made the originals so great in the first place.
