Tekken 7 ist ein würdiger Nachfolger der Reihe, der alte Standards beibehält und gleichzeitig gekonnt mit neuen Features überrascht – und das erstmals auch auf dem PC. Ganze 10 neue Kämpfer sorgen für frischen Wind und laden Anfänger, aber auch alteingesessene Profis, dazu ein, neue Kampfstile auszuprobieren.

Bigger, prettier and expanded in almost every regard, Divinity: Original Sin II is a captivating and addicting RPG epic and a worthy successor that's almost unmatched in freedom of choice and character progression, only ever-so-slightly inhibited by a badly balanced last quarter and a lack of boss fights and iconic music.

Mario Sports Superstars ist für mich in allen Belangen eine runde Sache. Kurz gesagt bietet es mir genau das, was ich suche. Obwohl keine der fünf Disziplinen das Potential dazu hat, mich für eine wirklich lange Sitzung an den 3DS zu binden, spielt die Sammlung in puncto "Kurzzeitmotivation" oder als "Spiel für zwischendurch" seine Trümpfe voll aus. Die Steuerung ist eingängig und der Comic-Look schön anzusehen. Und trotz der süßen Verpackung schlummert unter der Oberfläche hier und da durchaus eine anspruchsvolle Sportsimulation. Ich kann zwar beim Tennis nach Lust und Laune die Bälle über das Netz dreschen, ohne mich auch nur einen Deut um Realismus zu scheren - andererseits gibt mir der Golf-Kurs aber auch die Möglichkeit, einen filigranen Schlag auf das Grün zu platzieren. Wer auch nur irgendetwas für die Art von Sport übrig hat, wie sie Nintendo nun schon seit Jahren zelebriert, und seinen 3DS noch nicht einmotten will, kann hier in jedem Fall zugreifen.

The Sexy Brutale überzeugt durch eine intelligente Spielmechanik, einen coolen Soundtrack und stimmungsvolle Grafik.

Splatoon 2 is more Splatoon - which is not necessarily a bad thing as the sequel offers everything that made the first game great, and this time there's a meaty and really fun coop horde mode to accompany the PvP battles. It's just a shame that the online multiplayer suffers from a badly designed Nintendo Switch online system.

Auch wenn ein Checkpoint-System dem Spiel gut getan hätte: Mit Hey!Pikmin hat Nintendo einen Puzzle-Plattformer geschaffen, der zwar in einem neuen Genre unterwegs ist, den Charme seiner Figuren aber dennoch auf treffende Weise einfängt.

Arms wants to become the Mario Kart of 3D fighting games, but it's not quite there yet until it deals with the lack of content in both single- and multiplayer as well as its currently unfun party mode. There is a lot of potential for Arms to really shine and get its place in the spotlight - hopefully we'll be there in a few months after Nintendo has kept updating it with free fighters, stages and modes.

Was für eine Rückkehr! Das zeitlose Konzept sowie die äußerst gute Arbeit katapultieren WipEout zurück in die Spielerherzen. Wer auf schnelle und erbarmungslose Action steht, ist hier bestens bedient.

Hats and Mario caps off to Ubisoft: Kingdom Battle is the best Mario world so far that's not made by Nintendo and the rare kind of game where the sidekicks, the Rabbids, outshine the famous cover stars. It might be lacking in variety over time and it would have been nice to kick the plumber out of the squad for a change, but these minor flaws can't ruin the fun of an otherwise surprisingly great tactical strategy adventure.

We're not gonna take it! Bigger, louder, weirder and more political: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus ups the ante compared to its predecessor and delivers an entertaining action-festival, combined with a thrilling story in a crazy "what if"-scenario. It fixes most of Wolfenstein's problems and throws the player from one over-the-top moment into another, while at the same time making him think about real-life politics and actual problems in today's crazy world - as long as you don't play the German version, which alters the alternate history to the point of complete ignorance.

Codemasters liefert auch in diesem Jahr ein Rennspektakel, das seinesgleichen sucht. Die Karriere wurde durch die Einladungsevents gekonnt aufgelockert und die Integration der historischen Rennboliden verleihen ein Gefühl von Einzigartigkeit. Dennoch fehlen weiterhin die Möglichkeit einer Split-Screen-Meisterschaft am heimischen Bildschirm oder der Wunsch nach mehr Individualität beim Erstellen des eigenen Fahrers. In Anbetracht der Konkurrenz, bei der selbst ein FIFA mittlerweile einen Story-Modus bietet, wünsche ich mir für das kommende Jahr einen solchen. Wer würde nicht mal gerne seine Rennkarriere ganz unten starten und an der Hand einer Koryphäe an die Spitze der Königsklasse geführt werden? Es besteht also noch eine Menge Luft nach oben - doch in diesem Jahr wurde fast alles richtig gemacht, weshalb man bedenkenlos zugreifen kann.

Rayman Legends is still a fantastic platformer with a gorgeous presentation and on the Nintendo Switch it is a perfect fit for gaming on the go - but lacking the touchscreen controls for the Murphy sections in the main game, it isn't quite worthy of the "Definitive Edition" subtitle.

Don't let your first impressions deceive you: If you look behind the curtains, what you'll find here is an excellent JRPG with a great story, fantastic music and a world that's a joy to roam around in and explore. It's just a shame that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 suffers from technical issues, a bad lootbox-like reward system and too much fanservice.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions is a great opportunity to catch up the original GBA-game in a mordern way. Even fourteen years after its first release gameplay and storyline are as magical as back then. The battle-system is really addictive due to its strongly action-paced mechanics and the typical humor of the Mario & Luigi-titels is charming as always. The newly introduced is also a nice addition but lacks the depth one is used to in the main game.

Shadow of the Colossus for PlayStation 4 isn't just any remake, it is the glorious return of a beloved classic that left its mark on video game history for decades - and its light still shines bright today, as Bluepoint Games revived the PS2 masterpiece with excellent new graphics and technology, while core and content remain unchanged. Traditionally, it's only the controls and camera which drag it down just a little bit.

After the terrible Ultra Smash for Wii U, Mario Tennis Aces is a return to form and in many ways the game that the last entry was meant to be. With a flawed but fun singleplayer adventure mode, great gameplay, a variety of courts and a wonderful multiplayer component with the promise of long-time DLC and event support, Aces belongs in every Switch gamer's library.

Yarny is back for another lovely adventure trip through Swedish landscapes, this time accompanied by a second playable character. This results in some deep puzzles, great challenge rooms, and, bundled with the more precise controls this time around, a better game than the first one, whether you're playing alone or with a friend - but also one that's over just a bit too quickly.

In this year the racing simulation convinces completely and is recommended without reservation. Keep Racing!

This trip to Kanto is more than just a return: Game Freak and the Pokémon Company are finally taking their first small steps into the future and making Pokémon more open, lively and modern. This is the way to go!

Apart from the almost forced grinding and the microtransactions behind it, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is the hammer! The sheer size of the world, the interesting and mostly very entertaining quests as well as the attention to detail make this game a real gem. For days I sneaked through enemy fortresses, killed leaders, chased wild beasts, climbed mountains and never got bored. The varied possibilities and well written dialogues were always very entertaining. I particularly liked Socrates with his stories and poems. Ubisoft can do that easily. The world holds you captive and it's very hard to get away from it. The "Just one more mission" principle opens up again and causes dark circles in the eyes on the next working day. And the humor ... I can't emphasize it enough. The little gags and Easter Eggs for attentive players (visual or sound) made me laugh a few times. Considering that I had mostly focused on the story and had already spent 40 hours in the country, you can imagine what it means to complete all the side missions, special tasks and hidden puzzles. If you want to get a lot of gameplay for your money, you can hit here without hesitation!
