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.

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

8 / 10 - Lost Sphear
Feb 11, 2018

Lost Sphear is a great deal for fans of old school J-RPGs. Despite its sometimes boring dungeons it has a good story and an interesting combat system.

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.

Nostalgic feelings in HD with catchy music? Well, that's LocoRoco 2. I've really had some fun playing this again. It aged pretty well and can be recommended to anyone who missed this PSP classic.

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

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!

Pokémon Tekken DX improves over its Wii U predecessor. Besides welcome changes you can now also play on the go in handheld mode and challenge your friends anywhere you like. Owners of this game for Wii U don't really get too much out of this port if they previously played the hell out of it but new characters and modes surely do add something noteworthy for new buyers.

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.

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.

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.

8 / 10 - Furi

Furi is like Dark Souls meets Shadow of the Colossus. Only bosses but really hard. Recommended for everyone that loves a challenge.

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.

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.

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.

This game is clearly not a "Definitive Edition". Too many compromises have to be made like missing Wii U controls or compressed graphics. Other than that it is still one of the best Jump 'n' Runs out there and a definitive must-buy.

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!

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

Monster Hunter World does it right in almost every way imaginable. The first real must-have of the year.
