xDefiant presents itself as a very strong foundation of a game that is supposed to last for all the content to come and hopefully many years. It is currently plagued by some technical issues that can cause severe frustration but the developers are already aware of those problems so they will hopefully be fixed in time. The gunplay is more than solid and the base experience is fun and thrilling.

Hauntii is certainly stunningly gorgeous and can make you feel incredibly smart whenever you find and solve one of its many puzzles. Unfortunately the game demands you to find and solve almost all of those puzzles which isn’t always easy to do. The map doesn’t offer a lot of help and it can lead to pointless and frustrating roaming around. The slower Twinstick-Shooter gameplay on the other hand is not too challenging but offers somewhat relaxing action moments.

The developers at Odd Studio have brought a daring project to the market with "Indika", which is difficult to classify. This review can be reduced to the following: you have to have played "Indika" to really judge it. Despite the rather dull gameplay, which is sometimes even boring, I had a fantastic time. This is due to brilliant performances by the main characters, an interesting and philosophical story, as well as the studio's daring approach to voice acting, soundtrack and art styles. With a playing time of maybe about four hours, you can quickly get to the credits, but you have spent the time with a title that may not let you go so quickly.

Little Kitty, Big City has a lot of problems with its controls and other technical aspects. In the end those problems did not bother me too much though. Guiding the Kitty through the city, meeting cute little animal friends and just doing what cats are known to do was very pleasant and fun. The game is never too challenging or also never puts any animals at risk, which makes it perfect for a cute little romp over one or two play sessions.

With "SoLA", "Dead Island 2" gets another DLC that fits seamlessly into the overall experience. The new area is extremely atmospheric and varied, and the new weapons are powerful. The latter provide a high gore factor, and the two new enemy types require fresh tactics. The expansion doesn't even begin to make "Dead Island 2" a new game, but cleverly builds on elements that make it a very good title anyway.
