At the price, it's hard to recommend Dog Man: Mission Impawsible to anyone but the utmost devoted fans of the books. Everyone else is better off hunting for something else to play.

After an update or two, Loco Motive can be recommended to everyone who likes detective stories, adventure games and humor. It's just the right length, a masterpiece that stimulates the brain and laughs.

Miniatures is a beautiful, but way too short experience. On an emotional level, it is difficult to identify with the memories, because the script does not reveal the background story at all, and the player only gets to experience four different fairy-tale situations. The audiovisual implementation is impressive, especially the different drawing and animation styles deserve nothing but praise. But when the lid of the digital memory box closes, Miniatures is also quickly forgotten.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is packed with content, but still doesn't seem to offer much new. If the concept is familiar from previous years, then everything feels quite familiar from the beginning. The gameplay is fun, even hilarious at times, but the title needs the right people around it to reach its full potential - and even then, certain game modes suffer from repetition and sameness.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead tells an original story set in the Quite Place universe, which offers about eight hours of survival horror. The game has its moments, but too often it stumbles over its own concept. Sneaking quietly through each level just isn't fun, and in many places the super-accurate monsters will strike without warning.

The horror title, which only lasts for a couple of hours, offers a few fun scares to the younger audience and especially to the Five Nights at Freddy's fan base, but I wasn't very excited about the survival elements. Running between places and avoiding the same Monster was more frustrating than entertaining.

Set in the Wild West, Arco offers really challenging but entertaining action. Your own choices alter the story impressively, although in the end revenge is at the center of everything. The charming pixel graphics combined with the truly versatile content guarantees an original title that you will enjoy playing for a long time.

There's pretty much nothing wrong with Astro Bot. Sure, its story is a rather shallow excuse to bounce from one place to another, but the lack of a script is compensated by the fun and crazy surprises. Team Asobi's creation is a versatile, beautiful and, above all, a great platformer for all ages.

The art design and style are top notch, so it's a shame the rest of the content can't live up to them. Cartoonish Schim is by no means a bad game, but its gameplay and offerings do not support the genius concept.

Indika tells an arresting story about humanity and the influence of religion on a sensitive individual. Nothing in life is black and white, and fortunately many things have changed in the world of the 21st century. Still, several of the game's themes are still relevant. It's a shame that a few sections break the arc of the otherwise intact story and take away the best edge from the thought-provoking title.

In the era of difficult and challenging games, it's sometimes great to experience something serenely beautiful as a counterbalance. Botany Manor grows flowers with a puzzle-like approach, and it does not offer anything very surprising, but it does everything it promises with admirable professionalism.

Previously released on Steam Early Access, The Outlast Trials offers exactly what you can expect from the series. Sick, agonizing horror. This time the story has been left behind, but the gameplay and atmosphere make up for the lack of a script. With a group of friends, The Outlast Trials is guaranteed entertainment for a few weeks - and it also works alone, as long as you set yourself up correctly.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley respects the source material wonderfully, but as a video game it has to remember the limits set by the age limit. Now the end result offers admirable things to do with both in mind, but I would still really like a versatile adventure designed for an older target audience, where the game mechanics and puzzles would not have been chewed open already.

Despite the long development work, the studio should have trimmed the length of the story a bit and invested in polishing. If everything isn't right under the hood, it doesn't matter how great the story, style or game design is. Airhead entertains, but also frustrates at the same time - and that's never a good thing.

Pacific Drive is a convincing debut release if you are not afraid of high difficulty and numbing resource collection. Personally, I would have appreciated the end result much more as a story-driven adventure, and not as a full-blooded survival game. Too often accidents in the dark hours of the night or encounters with hostile opposition eat away at the joy of playing.
