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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The Frozen Wilds definitely crowns Horizon Zero Dawn.

SingStar Celebration is an entertaining party game, where music fans will get their money's worth.

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

Syberia for Nintendo Switch is a solid port for a 15 year old game. In some regards it hasn't aged very well but the story and beautiful places to explore are still as charming as in 2002 and the Switch's handheld mode is suited perfectly for this kind of game.

BATMAN - The Telltale Series - Season One is a surprisingly brutal adventure with a good story. The decisions you have to make between Batman and Bruce Wayne are far more important than in previous Telltale titles before. The new Crowd Play feature lets you have fun with friends on the couch and takes the games from Telltale to the next level.

Need for Speed Payback with its gambling system based on speed cards instead of real car parts is pure Pay2Win. In addition the open world is empty and lifeless though there is a lot to discover in terms of racing events. The rubber band effect is really bad in this game and cops are as unrealistic as ever in the Need for Speed franchise. Last but not least is the grind which you will have to do if you want to proceed in the game. Don't touch this game – ever!

This is the the single most perfect Pokémon game up to date. With new Ultra beasts, the inclusion of every legendary Pokémon and a lot of small improvements this is the ultimate version to play. Sadly the story isn't as exciting as in the Sun & Moon games before because you've already 'been there' somehow despite the new story arcs.

8.5 / 10.0 - Worms W.M.D
Dec 5, 2017

A classic with new ideas and a load of hilarious weapons. The benefit of the Nintendo Switch version: you can play Worms on the go now!

Syberia 2 is a lovely point-and-click adventure and fits perfectly onto the Nintendo Switch and its touchscreen controls.

Despite all the changes and partial removals of Pay2Win elements it's still a broken mess.

Spintires: MudRunner is like heaven for fans of trucks and dirt. It's a pretty realistic simulation which could also hook players that are just interested in an occasional challenge.

Farming Simulator - Nintendo Switch Edition is one of the best experiences I've ever had and I really didn't expect that. Driving around and managing my fields is as much fun as helping others out for some cash and get better vehicles for more efficiency. And you can play this on the go with Nintendo Switch.

I think there's nothing more to say about Skyrim that has not already been said. Sadly the experience on Nintendo Switch is a very buggy one because Bethesda didn't care about fixing their stuff. On PC you can use mods from random people to improve the experience but on Nintendo Switch this is simply not possible. So be prepared for some weird stuff going on in your adventure. Other than that Skyrim is a must-play.
