Spyro makes a fresh comeback thanks to the solid work behind the Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. The graphic overhaul from the team behind Toys For Bob is great throughout the whole three titles and will get the cheeky purple dragon some new fans. Constant framerate drops and not so well improved camera controls are the only setback in this otherwise great remaster that also should be checked out by fans of the originals.

This game has its strengths and weaknesses; unfortunately the latter outnumber the former – Call of Cthulhu is therefore just an average title with ideas that haven´t fully panned out, but if one can overlook the outdated graphics and the cheap puzzles, he will get rewarded with an atmospheric, uncanny story.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the promised masterpiece we all expected in advance: an epic Western with a rich content which delivers an enormous grade of detail and possibly the best-looking game of this generation. You can clearly feel all the effort the developers put into it. A must-buy for all fans of a more grown-up western and a massive Open World, which many people will talk about in years from now.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales offers more playtime than anybody could wish for and is an all around great experience for Witcher fans and card game enthusiasts alike. With concise balance of main quest decisions effecting the card deck, it offers great replay value and is so much more than just a simple spinoff.

The return of SoulCalibur to the current console generation is impressive, versatile and full of action. Through numerous features, Bandai Namco wants to appeal to both, veterans and newcomers, which succeeds for the most part. Even if the extensive history around the Soul Edge knows how to inspire, what remains is a stale aftertaste to the detriment of the new combat mechanics.

SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption does possibly everything wrong that every soulslike game before already mastered with ease and delivers no surprises or any gameplay achievements worth mentioning. Besides the solid idea behind the boss rush this game doesn't really offer anything.

Starlink is a well-done mixture between an arcadeshooter and an openworld game with focus on exploration, which delivers players a good package combined together with the classic formula of Ubisoft, a good (but expensive) toys-to-life product line and the possibility to complete the game without any additional payments. Both younger and grown-up fans of the genre should give the new franchise a try.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 manages easily to compensate the missing singleplayer campaign with lots of multiplayer goodness and a battle royale mode that shouldn't be afraid of fortnite or pubg. The Class Campaigns could be better and some of the recycled elements of the previous games aren't that well integrated but besides that fans of the series will get an amazing multiplayer package with a great zombie mode on top of it all.

Returning to the haunted estate after seventeen years should feel outdated, but Luigi´s Mansion deserves its rightful remake on the Nintendo 3DS. Not one ounce of charme has been lost in the faithful handheld port as Luigi screams and tumbles through his spooky adventure. With some minor control issues aside, the gameplay is still as it was back in the day.

With Mega Man 11 Capcom brings back the series to life with success and manages to deliver a short, but very well made Jump N`Shoot that stays besides very little improvements true to the franchises` core mechanics. A loveletter to the series and a must-have for everyone who likes classic plattformer-action.

The eleventh entry in the Mario Party Franchise steers away from the gameplay of its recent predecessors and gets back to the roots of the early games. The classic turn-based still works as well as it did in the early Naughties and the new companion system makes Super Mario Party feel like an old-school classic enwrapped in a fresh reboot. If only there would be more playable maps…

Assassin's Creed Odyssey surprises with probably the best storyline of the series so far that takes you with major decision options and strong protagonists through a well made Ancient Greece. The different story arcs and different endings are well integrated and even the often necessary grind is lightened up through the deep personalities of Kassandra and Alexios. The Game and the series could still use some better balancing for the progression during the game and the fights but besides that Odyssey takes the right steps forward for the series.

The Capcom Beat `Em Up Bundle is a well-made travel back in time to the glory days of the arcade, which delivers a lot of fun and is a perfect match to invite some friends for pure bare-knuckle action. Even if it suffers a lack of content beside the games the collection with its low price tag gets a recommendation for fans of uncomplicated action.

Forza Horizon 4 defends the open world racing throne with ease and expandes its portfolio with new social/multiplayer features and some amazing wetter effects. Only the overuse of cosmetic items and the not so constant road traffic are holding this game back but won't bother fans of the series for long.

FIFA 19 takes the throne this year with ease thanks to a bad performance from PES but still manages to tweak the gameplay and graphics of the game to just the right level. Also the new house rules, the journey champions and champions league are enough reasons to love the offline parts of this years FIFA.

Transference ends as disappointment gameplay and story-wise. The option to play the game without a VR Headset is well-meant but poorly executed. We recommend to try the demo in the playstation store first before you buy this short and simple experience.

With Valkyria Chronicles 4, the strategy role-playing hit from Japan has now finally arrived in Europe! With a charming anime style, the story of Claude Wallace and Squad 6 knows how to convince the player, without losing it unique gameplay experience. The content of the game is enormous, exciting battles are inevitable and a dramatic story is guaranteed!

Unfortunately, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a classic third episode as you only know it from hollywood: working mechanics were made worse, the story is too slow-pacing or without highlights and the whole game feels like a downgrade in comparison to its predecessors. Sure, the game is not bad after all and you are going to have a lot of fun with it, but it simply doesn`t feel that round as it could be. Anyway, fans of the genre and Miss Croft shouldn`t miss out the third embodiment.

Larian Studios has perfected their already astounding game with Divinity: Original Sin II - Enhanced Edition. A role playing game packed with so much content, brimful with choices and some of the best characters you´ve seen this side of Baldur´s Gate 2. In fact, there´s so much in it, it´s easy to get lost and confused in such a huge and detailed world. Especially the inventory on the console version suffers from overview issues , but this is readily compensated with the great local coop mode. It´s a game that offers the player everything. And then some…

Destiny 2: Forsaken still fights with some issues from Destiny 1 but manages to take the place as probably the best Destiny Add-On so far thanks to a gambit mode that offers surprisingly lots of variety, a really motivating storyline and lots of small new features like the Dreaming City Area that will also keep veteran players excited till the upcoming raid.
