Die Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age-Editon ist eine gelungene Überarbeitung eines soliden Titels der Reihe, der seinerzeit Voraus war, aber durch die schwache Story und der langweiligen Gegenden auch heute nicht vollends zu überzeugen weiß.

Samus Returns is a welcome return of a long-missed friend, but euphoria about the comeback didn't last long once I actually started playing the game: Exploration is unrewarding and leads into dead ends more often than not and the repetitive Metroid boss fights almost feel like grinding. With its modernized combat and controls, some cool and fresh ideads like the counter and 360° aiming, Samus Returns is still a solid Metroidvania game - but it's not quite the return to form that I was hoping for.

Anyone who's already a Star Wars Fan, is definitely going to be entertained by it. However, if one's leaves any elements aside that actually indicate the Star Wars franchise, what's left is solely a generic shooter - with admittedly stunning visuals - but a game that's offering nothing new.

Von Kirbys erstem richtigen 3D-Abenteuer habe ich mir mehr erhofft als diese zwar kurzweilige, aber unspektakuläre Arcade-Highscore-Jagd, die nach knapp drei Stunden durchgespielt und danach schnell wieder vergessen ist. Schade!

Just like Hyrule Warriors before it, Fire Emblem Warriors is another decent Musou game that feels worthy of the big Nintendo brand in its name - but with cheesy characters and dialogue and an unwelcome focus on the more recent FE games, Omega Force missed the chance to make it a standout title on Nintendo's new console.

Lost Sphear fails to live up to the classic feeling while playing it. They improved some elements but it isn't the game that I expected.

Romancing SaGa 2 can be a really fun 16-Bit-RPG - at least if you already played previous similar titles from that period. The typical SNES-charm, with regards to gameplay as well as technically, will fascinate fans while beginners will have a tough start to get into the game.

Half-Genie Hero is a solid platformer with great presentation and music, but it also feels a tad generic and lacks variety and genuine creativity in its level design. Compared to other games on Switch like Donkey Kong and Super Mario Odyssey, it's easily the weakest - and you should definitely check out the others before teaming up with Shantae and her friends.

While it doesn't fully deliver on its exciting premise and while flaws in its gameplay may hinder the fun at times, Forgotton Anne is still an enjoyable journey into a memorable fantasy world full of interesting characters and stories.

Wasted potential! The overall impression is dampened by unvaried courses and monotonous action despite having a decent foundation. Therefore, the genre’s revolution is postponed.

Madden NFL 19 is fun, and when it finally "clicks", you stay on the ball. The beautiful graphics and the direct play feel convey the action exactly as it has to be in the stadium. For veterans this is a very clear reason to buy. However, indecisive and newcomers should be warned. The game doesn't take you by the hand permanently and those who have problems with the language barrier won't necessarily be happy with the football simulation. However, if you are interested in the sport and you already know a few terms, you should give Madden a chance. It's worth it!

The few deep and very well written quests unfortunately get lost in the paper and terminal clutter. The loss of human NPCs is a bitter blow to the apocalypse. But the game world is filled with so much love, details and little stories that it would be quite ignorant not to visit the shooter RPG again. Maybe in a month or two, when the biggest bugs have been fixed and the first DLC has been released.

In Octopath Traveler there is a lot of love and passion, you can tell at first sight. Octopath Traveler is a beautiful, fairytale-like diorama that recalls the classics of the genre time and again, but lacks the essential framework to bring the pieces together into a harmonious whole. The beautiful presentation and the great fighting system are contrasted by eight independent stories whose quality varies greatly - and which hardly suffice as motivation for 80 hours of playing time.

Although Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 is giving away potential in many respects, it is convincing on the pitch once again, so that annoyed FIFA players are welcome to consider a change.

Two Point Hospital is a fun and goofy Simulation game which suffers from its lack of depth and challenge.

The Football Manager 2019 by Sports Interactive shows up with few innovations and surprises. The well-known formula still works, but this must not excuse why new features like the revised training do not work properly. The Football Manager still has the charm of a spreadsheet, with an old-fashioned graphics engine and new bugs. Fans will have their fun with Football Manager 2019, which despite all its weaknesses is the best version yet. However, Sports Interactive will not make the step into the mainstream with this game.

One has to appreciate Causal Bit Games will that they tried to further develop the formula of the clear role model, which is of course Ghouls 'n Ghosts. It would have been better, however, to hand over the story mode only when it is free of it's faults and better designed. It's annoying that the difficulty of the game too often lies in finding the easiest and luckiest route through the dungeons with every new screen death, while the arcade mode seems to be much more polished. So Battle Princess Madelyn remains a likeable game which brings fun for a few hours due to the arcade mode. This and the charming character design can't fool you about the numerous annoyances, and so Madelyn finally awakens one thing above all else: The longing for Knight Arthur.

ReCore ist ein Spiel, das ich um jeden Preis hatte mögen wollen. Doch leider werden der Spielspaß und meine Liebe zu diesem an sich sehr sympathischen Sci-Fi-Szenario durch arg viele Grafikfehler, eine unsaubere Steuerung und nervige Kleinigkeiten auf eine harte Probe gestellt.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 kann trotz einer robusten Sniper-Mechanik und eines interessanten Drohnen-Features aufgrund von technischen Mängeln nicht überzeugen.

Sonic Forces is a better game than Sonic Boom. But compared to Sonic Generations and Sonic Colours, it's missing a vision and a general idea of what it is and what it wants to be. Instead, this is yet another inconsistent Sonic game that disappoints with mediocre level design, really short stages and a general lack of focus.
