Muse Dash is the perfect companion for in between, with which you can also have long-term fun.

Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions is very entertaining overall and is definitely worth a look.

All in all, as a Diablo fan you really can't go wrong with Wolcen. Yes, the game still has its quirks and the online mode also has to settle down a bit. But it looks beautiful and both the skill system and the fights know how to please. And for a price of around 30 euros you have a lot for your money. So despite the problems, I can only recommend Wolcen - Lords of Mayhem.

Trails of Cold Steel III is a must for all fans of the series. Despite some improvements on the more powerful systems, the graphics can no longer impress as much as on the small Vita screen, but it is technically solid and again a top RPG in terms of content. But be careful: interested players should definitely play at least the two direct predecessors beforehand, and ideally even the sister series Trails in the Sky. The more you get to know the world and characters beforehand, the more you can enjoy Cold Steel III.

The Alliance Alive is a decent RPG for in between, but on current systems you have so much better options that there is really no reason to invest time in this remaster. Although it looks much nicer than it did on the 3DS, its origin cannot be denied. The forgotten characters and the character development system, which takes getting used to, will also appeal to few. If you have played through the hits completely, you could have a look, everyone else would rather satisfy their RPG hunger with better alternatives.

As a longtime fan of this genre, I'm always happy when new or old titles find their way to the West. So also with Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha, where I already own games like Strikers 1945, Strikers 1945 II for Playstation 2. In principle, the collection is well developed and offers corresponding options where everyone who can start with the genre will have fun. But the lack of an online ranking for high scores and other goodies such as background information about the different titles or a sound test would have been a must.

With Monster Energy Supercross 3, a number of innovations have been promised that are also present, but basically do not necessarily require an update from Part 2. Although you have a fun alternative to your career with the expanded training area, which can now also be used by four people, the remaining innovations are rather limited. Yes, you can now generate female drivers and yes, you now have dedicated servers for multiplayer, but still it remains the same racing calendar as in the second part. Therefore, players have to decide for themselves whether they want to upgrade or not. The gameplay is as always fun and fans will surely get their money's worth with an accurate implementation of motocross sport. So it's up to you how you choose.

Slain was nice, but not mature in my opinion. A graphic display that rode on the retro wave. However, the makers have taken the criticism to heart. The big hit is not VALFARIS. With Axiom Verge, Blazing Chrome, Gunlord & Co. there is also a lot of strong competition. Nevertheless, accompanied by metal rhythms, it is fun to chop up opponents. There is still frustration, but unlike Slain you have the feeling that you have failed yourself. I can recommend the title to fans of the genre. Everyone else prefers to play rehearsal first.

It Came From Space And Ate Our Brains is an authentic, old school, twin stick shooter that doesn't value story but takes action. Despite smaller tasks such as destroying a barrier or activating switches, the gameplay remains somewhat monotonous, which is reinforced by the lack of diversity of opponents. The level of difficulty alone is quite moderate, but with three friends the game becomes much more fun. But it will take some time until you get through the six levels of the campaign and if this gets too boring you can look for an additional challenge in survival mode. So the game is a nice entertainment for in between, with which you can quickly let the pig out in a convivial round.

For me, AO Tennis 2 is equipped with some useful innovations that at least increase long-term motivation. In terms of gameplay, not much has changed from the previous part, but this was not necessary either. Rather, you worked on the scope and everything around it, so you are now working on your professional tennis player in a fun career mode and getting better and better. Unfortunately, the visual presentation is still the biggest weak point of the game, but you can get over it because of the gameplay. If you are looking for a good tennis game, AO Tennis 2 is definitely the right place. If you already own the first part, you should definitely consider buying it because of your extended career. If you only want to play matches, then the first part is probably enough. The upgrade was definitely worth it for me.

Zombieland Double Tap is not a total failure. However, there are already plenty of Twin Stick Shooters in 2019, which are better in all areas. The level process quickly becomes dull, the joke of the film template is not saved into the new medium due to the weak setting and presentation. Zombieland is doomed, because there is simply no reason not to use one of the competitors.

I have to say, I was surprised that GRID is so straightforward. After GRID Autosport, I expected a game that was more simulation-intensive, but GRID is the opposite. It is really fun to heat with the different vehicle types over the great designed courses. Sure, the route selection is clear and the fleet cannot compete with some competition, but GRID is also a game that is fun and does not necessarily kill you with an almost infinite number of races. For a successor, however, I hope to expand the Nemesis system because it has potential that will become more. Otherwise, GRID is aimed at all drivers who finally want an entertaining racing game again.

I can rightly say that the Ring Fit Adventure is probably the best fitness game so far that console players can buy. In the past there were a lot of things you could already burn calories with, but they weren't as fun as this great piece of software. So if you want to take care of your fitness a little more and are not averse to the role-playing genre, you should definitely get this title. Even I now train regularly every other day and that will probably remain so until I am through with the story. However, you should keep in mind that you shouldn't expect proper strength training, more like endurance training. But the playful access to fitness is very successful in my opinion!

Can you recommend Football Manager 2020? If you can bring a lot of time and like to click through menus and turn every little screw as a tactical fox, with Segas Manager Games you have a modern piece of software in hand to let several weeks go by. Above all, the new board features motivate over several seasons, because it is not just the goal to make the climb or to win the championship. Football is the most beautiful thing in the world, but it's not always just black or white. And if a piece of software has recognized this and wants to offer us a complex simulation, then probably the Football Manager 2020.

With Northgard, Shiro Games has already proven on PC that they have created a fun and long-term, entertaining strategy game with the Vikings from the far north. The port to the switch was also successful, although a few minor flaws cloud the overall impression. In particular, I found the small font size exhausting in the long run, hopefully an adjustment of the size will be patched here, or at least a setting in which you can set it yourself. In terms of gameplay itself, there is little else to complain about, so that genre fans can look forward to a successful representative of the development strategy.

WRC 8 is a surprisingly good representative of its series. It is a good thing that Kylotonn has listened to his community and made improvements in many areas, because it really created a well-balanced rally racing game that should satisfy both arcade and simulation fans. The varied career with the challenges and the extreme weather conditions make you happy, the innovations such as the dynamic weather during the races and the skills tree also help to diversify. The improved driving physics also give the title more driving pleasure, as you can finally feel and weigh the different surfaces even with a controller. So if you can get something out of sport, you should definitely grab it, because it is easily the best part of the series so far.

Nevertheless, Greedfall is overall a successful game that is fun despite the various shortcomings.

Hence the recommendation to get the game! It is one of the highlights of 2019.

Borderlands 3 may not have been the big innovation. But it's still a damn good game that is fun for more. And Gearbox has already promised that the supply of new content will be just as good as part 2. A promise that they already healed with the first DLC and smaller events. Say, part 3 will also be fun in the long run!
