Code Vein is missing the final touch in some areas but Anime Fans as well as Soulslike Veterans will still get an extensive and interesting title with a thrillig story.

The Surge 2 stays despite of a bunch of nice changes the only Souslike title that is only recommendable for hardcore fans. Neither the story, nor the boss fights are memorable and many weak design decisions everyone will encounter through their playthrough makes this title as arduous as The Surge.

Daymare: 1988 is a love letter to Oldschool Survival Horror Games that often loses itself in the survival aspect and has sadly besides that not much more to offer than a lot of nostalgia. If you are an Oldschool Resident Evil Fan that is looking for some Challenges you should still get this game.

Devil's Hunt delivers surprisingly good presented fights between heaven and hell which loses quickly nearly all of its appeal because of the generic gameplay. If you can live with clunky gameplay and minimalistic animations and riddles you can still take a look at the game.

eFootball PES 2020 is spinning it's wheels this year again with no groundbreaking additions to existing modes like it's predecessor and doesn't manage to provide enough incentive over the rest of the game to let FIFA finally lie in the shelf for once.

Greedfall presents itself thanks to an interesting setting and a surprisingly well done story as probably the best game Spiders did so far. Repetitive tasks and the usual technical shortcomings reduce the experience strongly but if you can live with that you'll get a decent Dragon Age replacement

Gears 5 delivers the usual solid co-op experience and offers enough variety in the gameplay-mix over the different modes. Sadly a lot of technical issues, bad level design and a lot of well meant ideas of the developers that didn't really delivered the effect they wanted doesn't make Gears 5 stand that much out compared to Gears of War 4.

Control is definitely the best game of 2019 so far. It is very rare that a Game combines such innovative ideas and gameplay elements with an incredibly interesting setting. If you haven't had the newest project of Remedy Entertainment on your radar you should change that as fast as possible.

The concept behind Man of Medan does not reach its full potential in the singleplayer mode due to the short play time, missed meaningful turning point opportunities and a lot of technical issues but manages to do a lot right in the different multiplayer parts of the game. If you are looking for a good horror evening with friends in front of the TV or online you should give Man of Medan a chance.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a bold experiment for the series which doesn't fully succeed in what it is trying to achieve. The potential behind the open spaces in the world are instantly thrown over by repetitive tasks and an inconsistent level structure. If you are looking for more Wolfenstein or some quick co-op action with a good story, you'll still have some fun with game.

Kill La Kill -IF- gets the important things for the fans of the anime right with an amazing performance. With the original cutscenes, characters, animations and the soundtrack combined with the expertise of the Dragonball FighterZ developers waits probably one of the best videogame adaptions of an anime so far, if you can live with some lack of content and technical setbacks during the story mode.

Super Mario Maker 2 offers the complete construction kit-package for hobby Level Designer as well as Super Mario Veterans that want to challenge themselves or their friends offline and online. A little bit more creativity in the adventure mode of the game would've helped the game to reach its full potential but besides that Super Mario Maker 2 offers more than enough new content to get old fans of the first game to change to the Nintendo Switch.

Another Sight offers an interesting view on the world of a blind person and manages to achieve that with a great ensemble playing between kit and her cat Hodge. The game suffers a bit from technical limitations, simple riddles and a bad story-pacing, which reduces the whole picture a bit.

Slay the Spire belongs in the hands of every card game and rogue like fan out there. The game works perfectly on the go with the Nintendo Switch and delivers some innovative gameplay mechanics and a lot of variety in every playthrough. The biggest setback is still the unexciting character/world design.

A Plague Tale delivers on the technical side (PC Version) and manages to build well made characters and a good story with in a fresh setting. Even when the game doesn't uses its full potential and the gameplay mostly ends up very generic, you should still take this emotional adventure with these versatile protagonists.

Yoshi's Crafted World doesn't really deliver more than expected. The actual creative approaches are drowned in a monotonous soundtrack and generic story and level build ups. But at least the co-op offers enough fun for an evening with friends.

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 expands the established gameplay mechanics and the world from its predecessor with amazing endgame content and lots of surprising enemy variety that was missed in The Division. Sadly the story sinks in the crowd of countless objectives and new content, which together with some gameplay bugs and glitches doesn't let the title reach its full potential.

Devil May Cry looks extremly stylish thanks to the RE Engine and it also plays the same with lots of variety. Besides a bit to classic ending for the story and a carelessly integrated online feature long-time Fans and newcomers alike will get an amazing package filled with the usual Devil May Cry action paired with lots of new gameplay elements and a well-made atmosphere.

Dead or Alive 6 shines again with good graphics, sound design and enough offline modes to keep you going for some hours after finishing the story mode but doesn't manage the change to a serious competitive fighting game because of some uninspiring changes in the gameplay mechanics, modes and outfits of the characters.

Trials Rising surprises with creative Multiplayer approaches and also local elements for your next couch co-op sessions but doesn't manage to deliver a consistent singleplayer experience because of carelessly integrated Lootbox/XP Systems and overusing some tracks. The game still is the best Entry so far for newcomers and delivers a lot of challenges in the endgame for veterans.
