My career as a patrol officer was over soon. I think fans of simulations can enjoy the game. I found a lot of things that weren't working well, though. This city and missions were full of bugs.

The PAW Patrol movie videogame is a very linear game that doesn't manage to tell a coherent story. The levels are not only totally simple but also nearly exactly the same. You could say this game is boring but it's also full of technical hiccups. We really cannot recommend it.

34 / 100 - Waking
Jun 18, 2020

I wanted to love Waking. It's approach and the first minute are as special as they are unique. Which game makes your first pet to your companion and a bit of soil from your hometown to your special weapon, after all? However, I wasn't able to find the genius in the chaos. In the beginning, I thought I could find it, but in the end, I had to take Waking for what it is: A mess. It has that unique approach that could it make so special but the game around it is just not very good.

42 / 100 - Tamarin
Sep 14, 2020

Tamarin ended up as a big disappointment for me. I imagined the cute platformer that it could have been again and again. But the Uzi that you receive in minute five changes everything - and the inaccurate shooting mechanics and horrible camera don't even make shooting with it enjoyable. There are a lot of good ideas in Tamarin but they have not been executed well.

Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch certainly has potential. But nearly all of it is lost under piles and piles of bugs and technical issues. It's really sad to see the game in the state it has been released.

Storm Boy is a game that I find really hard to recommend. It's really short, for sure. You'll complete it in around 30 minutes. It could still be a nice adventure for families as it's an atmospheric and visually good experience. The minigames, however, don't work very well and it's somehow also missing the deepness of Colin Thiele's story. Storm Boy: The Game can be a solid addition to the 2019 film, but not much more.

PAW Patrol Grand Prix is another function, but fast-to-be-forgotten kart racing game.

50 / 100 - Aery - Calm Mind
Dec 7, 2021

In Aery - Calm Mind you can enjoy the freedom of flying in a relaxed environment. The technical side however doesn't let you relax: There's a lot of stuttering going on on Nintendo Switch.

I didn't really expect the series first entry that originated on PSP to be "better" than the successor that was released in the west on PS3 and PS4 already. What I didn't expect though was an experience this frustrating and shallow. I wouldn't really have needed this remaster of the original title.

51 / 100 - Ride 4
Oct 5, 2020

Ride 4 shows a lot of passion for motorsports and the bikes but not for the game itself. A solid technical performance is shattered by a useless AI. Ride 4 might be the best choice for a motorbike simulation on consoles - but just because any competition is missing.

53 / 100 - Paws and Soul
Jul 26, 2020

Paws and Soul starts off with a big promise but doesn't really delivery it: There aren't that many secrets to unfold in the world and the story is, while being told solidly, really predictable and not exciting. The worlds are wonderful, yet the meditative experience is being thrown back by a nice, yet repetitive soundtrack. Some flaws in controls and gameplay also make the experience less enjoyable.

55 / 100 - Race With Ryan
Dec 20, 2021

Race with Ryan works well as a fan service. Its mechanics also work as a funracer and even the tracks are well designed. There are just too less of them - only six in the whole game! It can a good game for kids who enjoy playing together but it's really a shallow game.

Jan 31, 2021

MXGP 2020 misses basic competences when it comes to welcoming new players. A good simulation is overlayed by a lot of frustration.

58 / 100 - Beasties
Jul 3, 2022

Beasties, in general, is a nice little game but it's very much on the short side, the balancing is off and there are frustrating bugs. I reckon I might forget it as fast as it was over even though it was fun while it lasted.

Exploring ancient civilization in Memorrha is fun when you love puzzling and the logic of symbols.

Supercross 4 basically is a great game - but it crashes with its AI system. The AI makes the game incredibly hard at times - which would be ok if the difficulty settings weren't that unreliable. If Milestone ever fixes that, there's a good career mode to enjoy.

Necronator: Dead Wrong hasn't evolved as much as I would like it to. Mirabella's deck is much more balanced and useful than the other protagonist's, and at times, the game unfolds its full potential here. There's a lot of things to be frustrated at still and fairness isn't always a thing. Necronator shows typical weaknesses of procedurally generated games and also the technical issues haven't been fixed completely. It's fun again and again, but also the frustration comes back.

63 / 100 - Stray Blade
Apr 29, 2023

Stray Blade brings in everything to be a great game: I can see a title scoring within the high 80s range here. But it all gets broken with the horrible combat in the game and missing technical polish.

65 / 100 - Strayed Lights
Apr 25, 2023

Strayed Lights tells a great story without any words and brings a wonderful world to your screen. Its potential though isn't fully used as sooner or later, it's just your gateway to the next bossfight. The bossfights can become frustrating, especially due to the shaky performance of the game on Xbox Series S.

65 / 100 - Trifox
Oct 22, 2022

Trifox is a creative game and an amazing debut for Glowfish Interactive. Playing on Nintendo Switch though I got the impression that choosing another platform for the game might be better. There are lot of technical hiccups - and also the difficulty spikes of the game which are very frustrating.
