Drake Hollow is a fantastic game that makes you spend hours and hours in your hollow. The Molasses Flood have created one of the best games of 2020 so far.

Jessika and I have been in a long relationship and I'm enjoying every second of it. Very often, the game made me angry - but just because of the great story that depicts reality.

Best Friend Forever has a lot of great aspects but it didn't end up as the game I expected. It's more care for the pets than for love. Also, there are bugs and technical hiccups that should have been fixed before launch.

I liked the anime very much but the game hardly reminds me of the feeling and atmosphere of said anime. The battles are the highlight of the game but overall it belongs more into the Nintendo DS era than on the Nintendo Switch.

Spiritfarer is a relaxing game that invited me on a journey to meet myself.

Thanks to Godhood, my new favourite from Abbey Games, I want to quit my job and become head of the Gamer's Palace religion.

With all bugs fixed, West of Dead could be a frustratingly motivating game for fans of the genre and procedurally generated games.

Fairy Tail is a well done adaption of the manga but mainly for lovers of the same. As a new player in the universe, the story of the game seems confusing and isn't coherent. And while the characters are depicted well, it's hard to get attached to them in any way. Also, gameplay is rather flat and slow - except for the battles which are a real delight! Fairy Tail is the first JRPG in which I actually enjoyed fighting more than the story. So overall, I recommend it but mainly for fans of the franchise.

I love the characters of Tales of Berseria - they're fresh and funny although they hardly develop. What I like less: The world that is dull and lifeless, the story that doesn't leave any room for side quests, and the overall technical representation of the game. It just seems to be older than it is. Even the main story loses its goal and seems to be stretched far too much. I love to continue the journey with the characters and to laugh with them - but there's not much more to Tales of Berseria that really convinces me.

I loved the original and might be a little bit biased - but Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral town is my Game of the Year 2020 so far. It doesn't only bring me back to my childhood but even lets me look at it from a new, modernised perspective. It shows me how you make a good remake. And yeah, the concept isn't new, but the message of the game still great. Also, there's no better time than the current to publish a peaceful game like this. I'm in love with the game and the Story of Seasons franchise!

I remember playing the beta of No Pineapple Left Behind. It was really weird and since then, the game hasn't changed at all. The game needs you to keep an eye on a lot of different factors to be successfull. However, in reality, coincidence is the only factor. The design of the game is horrible and overall, I just couldn't enjoy this experience.

Kids is weird - but I had a lot of fun with it. Not only once did I ask myself what I'm doing, however there were a lot of situations that showed me how crowds can work. It's a pity that the game is so short and lacks variety. Still, Kids is a game that explains the world to you without many words.

Pokémon Café Mix could be a really nice and constant game to play to have a relaxing break. However, it follows the concept of free games so that you're meeting dead ends quite soon. The game's a nice try and looks good. It's free, so you can just take a look yourself.

I wanted Summer in Mara to become a highlight. However, in the final game, soundtrack and the relaxed graphics are mostly the only things to convince. However, they cannot make you look away from the flaws in the gameplay and the lot of bugs. I hope that there'll be a patch soon that fixes at least the most severe.

Atomicrops could be a superb farming game - it somehow misses that as the farming isn't that important after all. Graphics and sound are absolutely great, however, and without permadeath, I would really spend a lot of time with Atomicrops. I'm having a lot of fun, but its missing the tiny little more to be great.

Dread Nautical could be a good game if it had ... more. Basically, more of everything. The tasks are exciting, like rescuing people or collect resources, but somehow, I still don't find much delight in it. That's mainly because I'm doing the same over and over again. It's missing variety and deepness, which is sad, because I see greatness in there which just doesn't find its bloom.

Sometimes Always Monsters gives you a lot of freedom. I love that freedom. However, it doesn't fit the story at all. Basically, you're an author on a book tour but this setting isn't even used properly. Any kind of guidance through the story is missing which isn't too bad, but there shouldn't be a "fixed" story in the first place. In the end, I was just trying to get all achievements possible. After all those years, I expected more of the game.

I like In Other Waters and wish I could give it a higher score. It's a nice experience. Its a special and experimental experience - however, it's an experience that is flawed in too many ways and the title torpedos itself again and again. Also, I can't always follow the story. This could have been my game of the year but bugs in the Switch version and confusing elements don't let it be.

The idea behind Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories is pretty good, but it can't unfold its potential: On the one hand it's telling you that your choices matter, on the other hand it's just a linear game without any real consequences. It seems that even it's techniques are from the olden days, especially on the scripting part and the uninspired NPC who are still doing what they were doing before the world collapsed. Nonetheless, the design of the characters is great and the soundtrack is amazing, but none of these two things will help Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories to become a blockbuster.

I had fun with Symmetry even with the controls making me furious. Somehow ... Symmetry plays like a part of something bigger, like a demo of a game that could turn out great. Somewhere, there has to be a big DLC that brings the actual content ... or not? It's nice for one playthrough, but I don't see a real reason to play Symmetry ever again.
