6 / 10.0 - Control
Aug 26, 2019

This game is not as good as perhaps expected. Level design is poor, the main character is not very interesting and the Metroidvania-way of exploring is maybe too difficult. However, the game gets a bit better in the end.

Redeemer Enhanced Edition is quite fun to pick up and play for a bit. However, performance issues and an obvious lack of scaling for single-player keeps the game from being anything other than somewhat disappointing.

7.5 / 10.0 - Etherborn
Jul 21, 2019

Etherborn is certainly worth a try, although the price tag that is currently attached to the game is too high. 16.99 euros for a game with only five levels is too much of a good thing. Ten euros less would have been a better deal. So if you are looking for a puzzle game with brain teasers and a nice graphic style for that amount of money, then Etherborn is fun to play. Just keep YouTube handy for walkthroughs if you're running out of patience.

6.5 / 10.0 - Samurai Shodown
Jul 14, 2019

This fighting game is nice due to all the swords but has not so much content. Therefore it's not a game you will play for month, more for a couple of weeks. Also the story is a bit weak and outdated.

8 / 10.0 - Judgment
Jul 3, 2019

Judgment is the best Yakuza game ever...except for the fact that, formally, it is not a Yakuza game. Still, there are enough new gameplay elements to lure new players in, and enough old references for returning fans. Don't miss it.

7 / 10.0 - Toki
Jun 28, 2019

Toki would have been a much better game if it had a normal save system and some other aspects worked out a bit better. That does not alter the fact that the game itself has enough cool things to offer: challenging gameplay, cool bosses, changing environments and beautiful graphics.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Review is a fast paced racer and a great remaster. There is a lot of content next to the somewhat short campaign. Also online racing is added. The game is huge and comes racing around the corner with a lot of fun.

7.5 / 10.0 - Bird Game +
May 18, 2019

Bird Game + is a short but charming adventure. Strangely, alle achievements can be unlocked before beating the game, but that's no reason not to pick this one up.

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is not the game for you if you want bombastic graphics. But if you want to shoot enemies online from great distances with a friend, this is the game to play. The game is a bit short and has a few flaws, but the fun is there.

Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age on Switch delivers a comprehensive and thrilling journey, though with some flaws. While the game itself offers hours of RPG fun, it's older age shows. The steep price tag is also something to keep in mind.

Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far bundles almost the entire story. Not every game is playable, some stories are added as a movie. Still there is a huge amount of gameplay for a very little price. The strangest thing is that this is a PS4 exclusive.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a great game thanks to the amount of content and the great coop experience. You just need to take your time when playing coop. The bosses could've been more challenging as well, but the Poochy-levels are great and make up for it.

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker Special Book DLC offers a lot of fun for only six euros. You get to play in co-op through 18 levels. The new levels offer variety and more challenges than the original game did. A definite must buy for everyone with the game.

This game looks good and is nice to play but why has this game been released on 3DS? It would have been a better idea to release it on Switch (with coop support).

Dragons Dawn of New Riders is an ideal game for young gamers, but lacks some essential elements hardcore gamers would like to see. There's a lot to explore and there're a lot of iconic How To Train Your Dragon elements to find in this game.

Thanks to a clunky camera and a very dated system this remake of Onimusha doesn't hold up. It's even apparent in the unskippable cutscenes. The atmosphere is great, but that's about it.

What a start of the year. A New Mario game for the Switch. The game has earlier been released for Wii U, but the Switch version is absolutely lovey. It has coop for 4 and a lot of levels to explore. Let's a go.

If you haven't played the original version this is the game for you. It looks pretty and colorful even though some elements are a bit outdated.

11-11: Memories Retold tells a beautiful story with multiple endings and is a must-play for anyone that loves a story-based game. The story might be a short one but it holds some amazing voice-acting. It's a shame the style doesn't quite work though.

8.5 / 10.0 - Sonic Mania Plus
Jul 28, 2018

‎For the rest, few negatives can be noticed about ‎‎Sonic Mania Plus.‎‎ If you have a little bit of a warm heart for the hedgehog and aren't averse to a bite of your nostalgia, you should give Sonic Mania Plus a chance. 30 euros is not much for such a game and it looks nice in the closet.‎
