Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has its weaknesses, I won't hide that. Some minigames aren't that great, and the visuals are a bit disappointing, as are the reloading and lifeless overworld. But I had fun. Collecting the heroes, each one unique, expanding the base, the music, and the story... All of this makes this game a true highlight of the year for me!

With Princess Peach Showtime, Nintendo has succeeded in capturing the blue-blooded princess beautifully. The game has a lot of charm and easily captivates you. The levels are varied and innovatively designed, and if you want to collect all the stars, you sometimes have to work hard. It's just a shame that the game is on the shorter side and the loading times are long. This unfortunately shows how outdated the platform has become.

On the Series X, Contra: Operation Galuga is definitely a fun title. While the game's story is run-of-the-mill, and the static cutscenes and clunky narrative ensure that the game isn't a standout. But if you like run-'n-gun action, you can't go wrong with this title.

I complained a lot about Alone in the Dark, but ultimately, I quite enjoyed the game. It's the atmosphere, above all, that made it a memorable one for me. The strange events, the eerie environment, and the many puzzles, both large and small. All of this makes me forgive the game for many things that bothered me, but not so much.

I'm late, and Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth only has itself to blame. Why does the game have to be so powerful? Dondoko Island, all the side missions, the gripping story... this is almost a perfect game. Even if it does have its flaws. It takes four hours for the title to finally start, the German translation has obvious spelling mistakes, and the fact that the New Game+ mode is behind a paywall is a disgrace. Nevertheless, the game thoroughly entertained me.

It's a shame that The Universim runs out of steam at the end. The game definitely had the potential to be a lot of fun. But the small glitches starting in the Industrial Age, such as not knowing what affects research speed or not being able to tell at a glance which nuggets are unmarried, significantly diminish the fun. I don't regret investing so much time in the game. But at the end, I'm left with a certain sense of disappointment.

Do Switch owners absolutely have to own Another Code: Recollection? If you're a fan of adventure games and/or own the games from that era, you should definitely check it out. Other than that, you should think twice before buying it. The game is good. The only major flaw is the puzzles, which use the poorly designed gyroscope controls. Otherwise, the only criticism is that the difficulty level isn't as challenging and the graphics are "just" good.

My initial concerns were dispelled during the test. The beginning may take some getting used to, especially the lack of blocks. But once you arrive at Mount Qaf, the game really starts to get fun. The Prince's various movement styles, the innovative take on the Metroidvania genre, and the brilliant soundtrack are all a ton of fun. If you've played Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, you can easily wait even longer for the Sands of Time remake!

Super Mario RPG may not be the mega-epic RPG you might expect. It's too short and too simple for that. But it remains a timeless classic, even in the remake. The fun story, the brilliant combat system, and the music ensure that it's still a joy to play today.

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased his Name is a nice introduction to the next main game, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The game offers everything you'd expect from the series: over-the-top action, excellent characterization, and plenty of side quests. The main story is rather short, and the fact that Kiryu can disguise himself with simple glasses requires a lot of faith. But those are the only drawbacks in an otherwise very enjoyable game.

It's a Wonder how wonderful Super Mario Bros. Wonder is.

Nevertheless, Greedfall is overall a successful game that is fun despite the various shortcomings.

Hence the recommendation to get the game! It is one of the highlights of 2019.

Borderlands 3 may not have been the big innovation. But it's still a damn good game that is fun for more. And Gearbox has already promised that the supply of new content will be just as good as part 2. A promise that they already healed with the first DLC and smaller events. Say, part 3 will also be fun in the long run!

The Gathering Storm is a great add-on, which once again makes you feel like "Just one more round!". That's all you should know!

Nevertheless, the game has a certain charm that you can not escape. It may be a typical licensing game. But it is one of the better ones!

Tales of Vespera: Definitive Edition is a successful rejuvenation of the classic. The adaptation has become very good overall, even if the gameplay itself has some weaknesses. Still, this is one of the best J-RPGs of the year.

Toki is a remake that nobody should have been waiting for. As wonderful as the graphics are, as well as the sound sounds, so annoying is the gameplay. The character dies quickly, often and unpredictably. The hero does not mind and at the same time moves slower than a snail. My recommendation is not to get the game!

Nevertheless, Bendy and the Ink Machine is a successful game that you should absolutely look at.

Constructor could have been a good game if the whole thing had missed a rejuvenation. So it is, 21 years after its original release, only disappointing.
