8 / 10 - Hidden Agenda
Nov 22, 2017

Hidden Agenda is a gripping thriller with enormously high replay value.

The Frozen Wilds definitely crowns Horizon Zero Dawn.

Despite its age L.A. Noire is still a great game which has to be played by fans of the crime genre. MotionScan still looks as good as back then and the Nintendo Switch version with its newly added Touch Controls stands out as the best and most interesting version for me.

It's probably the most beautiful looking game out there to date. The environment is so detailed that you won't find the same place twice. Too bad that the story is mostly boring and has no real twists or remarkable moments and it's a bit of a grind at the end. But if you enjoy the game you can easily spend 70+ hours by clearing all the side missions and hidden secrets.

Great humor, great story, great game. The Bowser's Minions addon can't quite hold up to the main game tough.

7 / 10 - Stifled
Nov 13, 2017

Stifled is an interesting take on a VR horror game. The problem is that you will start moaning stupid sounds into the microphone after a short time which can be pretty annoying. But the rest is solid and something totally new to check out.

If you're a fan of Monopoly then the Nintendo Switch version is perfect for you. It doesn't matter if you play it on the big TV or on to go – it's a must have for fans.

A shocking game with intelligent story writing and a lot of black humor. Not for everyone though and sadly the German version is not uncut.

Nights of Azure 2: Bride of The New Moon is an interesting mix of different genre. The time limit can be frustrating if you're at the very end of a dungeon or just before some teleport chamber but in the end there's enough time to complete all the objectives in the game.

It's a very cinematic and story driven Warriors game like the original Fire Emblem games always were. With its great cast of characters and a lot of missions to master this is definitely a must have for Switch owners!

Even though I liked the first game better it obviously is superior to its predecessor. The new Ork system 2.0 has very much improved and fighting down bug castles is a blast. The loot system should be in the game but fortunately it's not needed at all to progress nicely.

I can't really recommend this game to die hard Gran Turismo fans as they will surely be upset with the enormous downgrade of the content and its online-only direction. But if you're open to something new then Gran Turismo Sport is a really good game which will offer enough content to keep you busy.

7 / 10 - Sonic Forces
Nov 6, 2017

It's no Sonic Mania but it's not that bad either. Your kids will love it as they won't find anything appealing in Sonic Mania. So die-hard Sonic fans should avoid this game but it's perfect for your kids as it's more streamlined and goofy.

It's a fun game that definitely shows improvement over the last LEGO games. But the absence of the dynamic split screen and the unbelievable amount of game breaking bugs (at least on Nintendo Switch) make the game unplayable at times. Too bad because the potential was there.

This game is not what it should be. Most of the riddles (the essence of the game) are often misleading and cheating. No logic can solve those wannabe-Professor-Layton brainteasers. What could have been great ended up in a mess. Go and play the old Professor Layton games. You're better off with them.

Super Mario Odyssey combines the spirits of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine and adds new and fresh ideas to it. It not only is a perfect game but also the best Super Mario game you'll ever play!

South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a solid sequel to The Stick of Truth. It does nothing special in particular but provides an entertaining plot lasting for about twelve hours.

The Evil Within 2 is a solid horror experience but doesn't live up to the expectations after playing the first game. However, it is polished in every single aspect and provides an entertaining plot with some shocker moments. Sadly, Shinji Mikami can't fear me like the last time which was what I hoped for.

Monster Hunter Stories may not please hardcore fans of the franchise but definitely everyone who was always interested in the series but constantly shied away because of its complexity.
