    Bird Game + is a short but charming adventure. Strangely, alle achievements can be unlocked before beating the game, but that's no reason not to pick this one up.

    Sonic Forces is neither the best nor the worst game starring the blue hedgehog. It's mediocre at best with spectacular action, but blunt characters.

    The new Origins map is the most fun we’ve had in a zombies map in a long time. The multiplayer maps are fun and addicting, but the DLC isn’t ground-breaking in any way.

    BoxBoy returns with a brand new puzzle adventure. BoxBoy! + BoxGirl! introduces a brand new a co-op mode and a bulky post-game, but lacks any kind of big challenge.

    Rajas of India continues where Crusader Kings II left off. The three new religions are fun to play with, as they all are unique compared to, for example, Christianity and Islam and require a different approach and playstyle. Although it feels like most of the other new features are re-used content with a different skin, Rajas of India is a decent DLC, and certainly worth a try.

    The Amazing Spider-Man isn't the best superhero game out there, but it sure is entertaining. Web-slinging through Manhattan is really fun. The main story however is less impressive.

    Demon's Crystals is a fun game to play. It has couch co-op for 4 players. Get ready, because it is a tough game. All the colors and weird enemies are a real standout.

    Tricky Towers is a new version of the classic hit Tetris. This time around it is possible to play the Tetris style game with multiple people. The singleplayer mode gets boring quite fast.

    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a fairly solid game. Mechanics from Fire Emblem: Three Houses integrate well with the traditional Warriors-gameplay, and the characters and setting of Fódlan remain interesting even three years after the release of Three Houses. Sadly, the gameplay can get tiresome, as you are always either fighting, or making your troops better prepared for battle. Even though there is a lot of content to discover, we frequently found ourselves wanting to put the game down for a while.

    Although the story is pretty boring there is much fun to be found thanks to the combat systems and plenty of secrets to uncover in this bleak world. That's why Valkyrie Elysium is a fantastic time if you're keen on some fighting action.

    The second expansion for Far Cry 5 brings you to Mars and delivers yet another co-op adventure. With brand new guns and enemies, you can explore the dusty world of Mars. Sadly, gameplay can feel repetitive, but overall this DLC still is a lot of fun.

    This game is very ambitious and to some extent is able to fulfill that. The environment is gorgeous and driving through the different areas each have their own challenges. The game doesn't fully feel finished. Technical issues ranging from superficial to gamebreaking and some key functions are simply missing. The AI really isn't very good, and the game really needs the promised photo mode and free roam. The game really has potential, and if the promised additions are there, it might be able to deliver.

    Vampyr is an epic adventure set in London during the Great War. Its original take on a vampire tale delivers, with deep storytelling and an awesome setting. Sadly technically the game suffers a lot from stuttering and loading screens.

    Sonic gets overshadowed by his brooding counterpart Shadow in this remaster of 2011's excellent Sonic Generations. The game does have some problems unique to the Nintendo Switch 2, but aside from that it's still a solid entry in the library of Sonic games.

    The new content in Rising Tide is something Beyond Earth desperately needed. Paired with a solid new diplomacy system and the concept of ´water cities´, Rising Tide is an expansion every Civilization Beyond Earth fan has to have.

    While Warlords of New York brings new content for players to enjoy, this is not the most original piece of content that Massive delivered. The main quest of freeing Manhattan is the well-known Ubisoft formula repeated. The four warlords, in contrast, are fun mini-bosses to fight against, each introducing a small but fun gimmick. The main antagonist, Aaron Keener, on the other end falls completely flat. This first paid expansion for The Division 2 is a safe rollercoaster ride for players, but that's all.

    Milestone delivers the best MotoGP game to date, but the improvements that come with every iteration form a slow process. For every two steps forward, there is one step backward. This game has much to offer content-wise and the gameplay is solid enough Unfortunately, weird AI glitches, inconsistent quality of the graphics and the sounds of the bikes occasionally get in the way of experiencing the thrill that is MotoGP.

    JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle is a nice game full of action and great battles. The colorful and cartoonish design adds to the game play experience. Sadly enough, the story is quite difficult to follow if you are new to the franchise.

    At its core, Wolfenstein 2 for Switch feels exactly like the adventure we played last year. With solid mechanics and a thrilling story, the game truly shines. Despite some heavy technical downscaling, the shooter still plays very well on the Switch.

    The new Partisan system and Theatre Interface are just a few good improvements this expansion has to offer. However, only few of the older problems get fixed and the extra options will only make it harder for a newcomer to get into Hearts of Iron III. Gamers that are familiar with the franchise will however be happy that the most realistic WWII game ever, just got a little bit better.

    A fantastic character creator and a funny story makes you want to play in the DC-world. The levels might be unbalanced sometimes but the extra content in the open world makes up for that. Playing together is a blast even though splitscreen isn’t dynamic.

    Mario Golf Super Rush is a fun game to play with friends thanks to a good variety of characters and some fun new modes. Golfing alone can be fun as well when you're honing your skills in Golf Adventure. People expecting this to be a full-fledged story are going to be disappointed a bit though.

    After the Fall is a fine VR-shooter if you're up for blasting some zombies with your friends. The gunplay is good and the Snowbreeds that are coming to kill you will haunt your nightmares. It's a shame the game lacks variety and is pretty short to boot.

    Apache: Air Assault is a great flight simulator that really knows how to show the true importance of helicopters during warfare. The controls and the gameplay won't let casual gamers join in on the fun and so Air Assault is really for those that have been playing with toy helicopters as a kid.

    Stick It To The Man is a bit tiny when it comes to content as there is not a lot of it and the game is pretty easy, but it is a very original game with lots of humor and mind reading fun.

    For just 400 Microsoft Points you get a but load of content. Twenty new trials and a new motorcycle are included in Riders of Doom. Even though the trials and bike are less innovative than the content in Origin of Pain, the trials are way more challenging.

    Although Mario Strikers Battle League Football does come with some flaws, in the end it's a surprisingly fun multiplayer sports title. Gameplay is easy to learn, but hard to master with some nice deeper mechanics. Content wise the game falls short with only a few single player options to play through. The multiplayer aspect, on the other hand, works like a charm and delivers some classic chaotic Nintendo multiplayer fun. Mario Strikers succeeds in bringing that nostalgic fun to the Nintendo Switch.

    Epic Mickey has become a good game that is perfect for younger and more casual gamers. The game will disappoint hardcore gamers because it is almost to easy to reach the end of the game.
