Trials Rising surprises with creative Multiplayer approaches and also local elements for your next couch co-op sessions but doesn't manage to deliver a consistent singleplayer experience because of carelessly integrated Lootbox/XP Systems and overusing some tracks. The game still is the best Entry so far for newcomers and delivers a lot of challenges in the endgame for veterans.

Everything considered, Far Cry New Dawn doesn't offer enough and didn't use the potential behind the setting. The story elements offer enough for Far Cry 5 fans to deliver a decent ending but in every other aspect the game goes off into the wrong directions with uninspiring additions to the Far Cry Mix.

Metro Exodus shows impressively how to set the scene for a Singleplayer Shooter Game and how important a good atmosphere can be. If you can live with small technical hiccups you'll get a gripping adventure with lots of playful freedom and probably already one of the best shooter games of the year.

God Eater 3 manages to fix some shortcomings of its Handheld predecessors but doesn't deliver the technical jump with the current console generation you would have expected, which goes through everything from the dull leveldesign to bad voice acting. Fans of the series will still get some fun out of the challenges in the multiplayer, assault and endgame missions.

Kingdom Hearts 3 continues to inspire despite a lot of carelessly inserted new disney worlds and attractions. Even when the game doesn't hold up to the expectations after this long wait, fans will still get a worthy conclusion and the solid action-rpg gameplay is still good enough to hook up newcomers.

Resident Evil 2 exceeds all expectations and shows how to handle a reissue of a classic like this. The new gameplay elements remove a bit of the tension from the original but deliver a solid modern experience with a lot of graphic tidbits for Fans of Survival Horror and Gore.

Like nearly every project from Grasshopper Manufacture/Suda 51 you gotta say here: Love it or hate it. Fans of their previous work get everything you could wish for. If you never played any title the studio has released so far and are not a fan of Indie Games you still get a decent Hack and Slay Co-Op Experience with some unimaginative enemy design and little technical hiccups.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe offers the fewest new additions when it comes to Wii u ports for the Nintendo Switch and still starts as full price title. If you never played a New Super Mario Bros. you'll get a varied multiplayer adventure with Super Mario and his friends. For everyone else: Peachette is definitely not enough to justify buying the game again on the Switch.

Fitness Boxing delivers everything that is has to for a fitness game but nothing more. The precise tracking with the joy con controllers is the only silver lining because of the weak presentation and small amount of content and variety to keep you going. If you want a daily warm up in front of your console you can still get this but don't except a lot more than that.

Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight delivers a solid gameplay experience for fans of rhythm games but besides that only a small section filled with Fanservice. The missing story and the limited track selection will even make it hard for Persona fans to invest more time than they have to into this game.

Just Cause 4 offers the most diverse and beautiful Playground of the Series so far and finally optimized some parts from Just Cause 3 like the generic enemies and repeated order of missions. The Apex Engine delivers an amazing performance (PC Version) and we can recommend this game even with its unfinished cutscenes and a lot of arduous NPC accompanying missions.

RIDE 3 is probably the best looking entry of the series so far with lots of content that could deserve a little bit more modes and guides for newcomers. Fans of the series will dive countless hours into the extensive new career mode and besides that you can let your creativity run wild in the livery and character editor.

Battlefield V is in its current state not recommendable and a big step back for the series. The Singleplayer and Multiplayer deliver less and less content and feel more and more unfinished. The Gunplay is a lot better than in Battlefield 1 and even the short War Stories deliver some great new insights for the series and into WW2 but we can't recommend getting this game in it's current state. The content at the moment will dissapoint newcomers and long-time fans of the series.

Spyro makes a fresh comeback thanks to the solid work behind the Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. The graphic overhaul from the team behind Toys For Bob is great throughout the whole three titles and will get the cheeky purple dragon some new fans. Constant framerate drops and not so well improved camera controls are the only setback in this otherwise great remaster that also should be checked out by fans of the originals.

SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption does possibly everything wrong that every soulslike game before already mastered with ease and delivers no surprises or any gameplay achievements worth mentioning. Besides the solid idea behind the boss rush this game doesn't really offer anything.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 manages easily to compensate the missing singleplayer campaign with lots of multiplayer goodness and a battle royale mode that shouldn't be afraid of fortnite or pubg. The Class Campaigns could be better and some of the recycled elements of the previous games aren't that well integrated but besides that fans of the series will get an amazing multiplayer package with a great zombie mode on top of it all.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey surprises with probably the best storyline of the series so far that takes you with major decision options and strong protagonists through a well made Ancient Greece. The different story arcs and different endings are well integrated and even the often necessary grind is lightened up through the deep personalities of Kassandra and Alexios. The Game and the series could still use some better balancing for the progression during the game and the fights but besides that Odyssey takes the right steps forward for the series.

Forza Horizon 4 defends the open world racing throne with ease and expandes its portfolio with new social/multiplayer features and some amazing wetter effects. Only the overuse of cosmetic items and the not so constant road traffic are holding this game back but won't bother fans of the series for long.

FIFA 19 takes the throne this year with ease thanks to a bad performance from PES but still manages to tweak the gameplay and graphics of the game to just the right level. Also the new house rules, the journey champions and champions league are enough reasons to love the offline parts of this years FIFA.

Transference ends as disappointment gameplay and story-wise. The option to play the game without a VR Headset is well-meant but poorly executed. We recommend to try the demo in the playstation store first before you buy this short and simple experience.
