Unfortunately, the name of the protagonist remains one of the only truly obvious allusions to Kafka's works. Although the mysteries about the protagonist K. are pretty crazy, the certain something to really call it Kafkaesque is unfortunately somehow missing. The game doesn't really have a replay factor either, as the puzzles are clear the second time. But this is the case with most puzzles and puzzle games. Nevertheless, the game exudes a certain charm, through the confusing story and the short but entertaining dialogues.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is one of the best VR experiences on PS4 so far. There is a small lack on perfection in terms of the controlls by using the outdated Move controllers. But considering action, freedom in movement, graphics and vibe of Tony Stark and his iconic alter ego it's an must-buy title for every PSVR owner.

Codemasters builds on the foundation of the previous years and delivers bigtime: F1 2020 is the pinnacle of the series so far. Bigger, better and more user-friendly - Codemasters may have played it save, but also creates one of the best racing-games in recent history.

Narrative-wise Deadly Premonition 2 confronts you with a plot that starts slow, but then develops it's very own fascination and stands out with strong characters. Everyone who loves video games with typical B-movie flair should give the title a chance. All others wait until the developers patch the severe performance issues.

Sucker Punch combines an epic, profound story about honor and the will of freedom with versatile action in an atmospheric setting in pre-industrial Japan. The diverse game world with all its cultural references offers a worthwhile and vast proposition, never becomming an annoying obligation.

Paper Mario: The Origami King may not quite reach the outstanding greatness of the first part on N64. But with its lovingly design, its pleasant cast and its exciting puzzle-kind fighting system Intelligent System brings the Paper Mario series back into line. Including the rich game world the new Paper Mario on Switch is definitely worth a buy.

Rocket Arena is a fresh approach on 3-v-3-multiplayer. Rocket-jumping and bazooka-shooting is enjoyable for a short amount of time. Yet again, the cartoony artstyle and the lack of content hurt the overall experience.

A very atmospheric horror game that suffers from technical issues and punishing checkpoints. The unsettling story based off welsh folklore is worth pushing through the adversities nonetheless. As far as first-person horror goes, this isn’t the best choice, but it’s also far from the worst.

Another Indie-title attempting to leave a mark in the souls-like genre. Hellpoint brings in some interesting ideas and at times offers stunning visual design. Imprecise gameplay and frustrating difficulty spikes however mean that this game is better left in space where nobody can hear the screams of frustration.

While some issues concerning UI and controls occurred from porting this game to consoles, Pathfinder: Kingmaker brings a true pen & paper feels onto the screen. This is easily one of the best console RPGs currently available, as it manages to surprise players with a challenging and long journey into the world of Dungeons & Dragons that’s full of meaningful choices and interesting characters.

A Rogue-Like Survival games that put the player in the role of a shipwrecked girl looking for the remains of her tribe. While it’s falling into common trappings for the genre with annoying inventory management and a ridiculously hungry protagonist, the overall charming atmosphere and surprising late-game depth make this indie game worth checking out!

Ary and the Secret of Seasons benefits mostly from its great puzzles, the main characters and Disney-like cutscenes. There are some minor issues in the controls, and on the technical side it's not literally close to current gen standard. But it is worth and fun to play, and this is what really matters.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 + 2 is not only one of the best arcade sport simulations so far. The remake also the best arcady skateboarding sim of all times. The game maintains the quintessence of the series and combines it with contemporary graphics and potentially durable multiplayer modes.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning remains a good role-playing game with an extensive game world, hundreds of quest and a great storyline. The fighting system is still fun, and the remastered version looks much better than the original. There is a lack to current gen potential, some grinding and many generic sidequests. But the game is still worth to play, especially if you stick to the main quest.

“Super Mario 3D All-Stars” is a great trip to the past and feels like coming coming again. Even though “Super Mario 64” certainly shows its age, all three “Super Mario”-adventures are very well worth your time and your money.
