The biggest Fire Emblem yet, the newest console entry delivers on tactical warfare as much as it does on story telling. With three different routes to go down, a large school to explore and so many characters to talk to Three Houses sets the new standard in the genre of strategic RPGs – and a high one it is.

With this super hero assemble Ultimate Alliance 3 don't have to hide behind the movies. Exploring every new hero, location and rank keeps on getting better and better over the course of the game. If you don't like marvel movies you still get a fun co-op gameplay paired with a lot of variation between the fights. Besides some camera issues and often losing sight of what is going on in the fights you get a good mix between powerful fights and lots of well known faces from the marvel universe.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 technically makes everything right: A nice story combined with motivational mission build ups deliver a great way for creative players to express themselves. The big problems from the last game stay mostly the same: The grind and the lack of variety. If you enjoyed the first game you'll still have a lot of fun with it.

Adding even more content to the hit formula back from 1999, Nitro-Fueled is a prime example how a remake should look like: staying true to the original while updating the graphics and including loads of bonuses.This fun racer is the best alternative to Mario Kart to date!

Unfortunately, the negative aspects in The Sinking City outweigh the positive ones: lackluster graphics, bug-ridden NPCs and a combat system that fails to deliver. But if you can dismiss all this, you will be in for a great action adventure and the most detailed lovecraft game world to date. It's still a must play for every fan of eldritch horrors and detective games!

It might be lacking the solid gameplay from other indie titles, but VA-11 Hall-A more than makes up for it with its great storytelling. This is for lovers of interesting fiction, and not for hardcore gamers.

As seventh entry in the series, Anno 1800 plays to all the strength of its predecessors and adds even more content. Some of those additions may be a little off, but in overall this may be the strongest classic Anno title yet.

Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn got everything from the Wii-Version and even more on top of that. If the original version was to easy for you, there's a new challenging mode and other nice additions. Besides missing the good coop-mode from the wii-version this is a no brainer for Kirby Fans that haven't played the original version on the Wii.

This game has its strengths and weaknesses; unfortunately the latter outnumber the former – Call of Cthulhu is therefore just an average title with ideas that haven´t fully panned out, but if one can overlook the outdated graphics and the cheap puzzles, he will get rewarded with an atmospheric, uncanny story.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales offers more playtime than anybody could wish for and is an all around great experience for Witcher fans and card game enthusiasts alike. With concise balance of main quest decisions effecting the card deck, it offers great replay value and is so much more than just a simple spinoff.

Returning to the haunted estate after seventeen years should feel outdated, but Luigi´s Mansion deserves its rightful remake on the Nintendo 3DS. Not one ounce of charme has been lost in the faithful handheld port as Luigi screams and tumbles through his spooky adventure. With some minor control issues aside, the gameplay is still as it was back in the day.

The eleventh entry in the Mario Party Franchise steers away from the gameplay of its recent predecessors and gets back to the roots of the early games. The classic turn-based still works as well as it did in the early Naughties and the new companion system makes Super Mario Party feel like an old-school classic enwrapped in a fresh reboot. If only there would be more playable maps…

Larian Studios has perfected their already astounding game with Divinity: Original Sin II - Enhanced Edition. A role playing game packed with so much content, brimful with choices and some of the best characters you´ve seen this side of Baldur´s Gate 2. In fact, there´s so much in it, it´s easy to get lost and confused in such a huge and detailed world. Especially the inventory on the console version suffers from overview issues , but this is readily compensated with the great local coop mode. It´s a game that offers the player everything. And then some…

Yo-Kai Watch Blasters offers a diversion from the turn-based battles used in the main game series and the formula works quite well. Altogether it might be a little to easy, but if your main goal is to indulge into a kid-friendly adventure with weird Japanese ghost-monsters this game is for you. Especially if you can find three other people to play it with you in coop.

The Franchise was always known for their curiosities and it's good to see that it keeps up with that promise for fans of the series. Besides the short story mode you'll get a best of from the mini games of the series that offer around two hours of regular gameplay before the credits roll.

The bottom line is that Mario Party The Top 100 is a good mini-game collection that you can play through the download play feature with up to three friends but the glory days of the N64/Gamecube era are not reached with that title because of the lack of a prober party mode.

Gang Beasts works surprsingly good as party game thanks to it's easy controls and intuitive gameplay. The game still got some glitches in the physics area but it still manages to overcome these minor setbacks with the fun core mechanics behind it.

Altogether, WWE 2K18 ultimately fails to deliver on the promises made by 2K Sports, barely changing things at all. The problem with My Career is that it needs to be the focus for all players, who plan to stay with the game for a longer time, but its still dull and repetetive, making it too boring over longer periods of time. Carrying your opponent around in the ring is fine and the minor changes in the My Career Mode at least shows us that the developer admits the mode needs further improvement, but in the end it needs even more of that. Nice try 2K, but better luck next time.

Insgesamt macht Torment: Tides of Numenera einen sehr guten Eindruck, man sollte sich vor dem Kauf aber ein bisschen darüber informieren. Der Fokus auf die massigen Dialogtexte im Spiel sagt sicher nicht jedem zu, heutige RPGs wie Mass Effect sind da doch eindeutig actionlastiger. Fans der RPGs aus den 90igern können hier bedenklos zugreifen und auch Leute, die Wert auf eine stimmungsvolle Science-Fiction/Fantasy-Welt Wert legen sollten sich den Titel mal ansehen. Torment muss sich absolut nicht hinter seinen Vorgänger verstecken, die Charaktere, die Welt und die Story sind alle überaus interessant und motivieren zum Weiterspielen.
