After the last few Farm Sims I played failed to keep me interested (including Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life), Grand Bazaar once again completely captivated me from the start. This is due to the cute look and the numerous cutscenes, but also the extremely motivating farmer's market twist.

Lost Records does a lot of things right, introduces likeable characters in detail and lets me grow fond of them thanks to well-written dialogues. The 90s nostalgia also works very well for me - I can't resist the charm of gritty camera images, colorful sticker books and tasteless toys (in a good way).

Sep 27, 2019

Code Vein scores as anime souls with a clear story and solid gameplay, but it lacks a bit of innovation.

Sep 24, 2019

The Surge 2 improves the gameplay of the predecessor with meaningful innovations, but has to accept compromises in graphics and bosses.

AC 3 Remastered delivers exactly what the title promises. But the nice improvements cannot conceal the outdated game design.
