Can't understand the negative reviews at all. The demo entertained me in a dark, melancholic and hyper way. Plus, it's really pretty, bold in content and full of references to the franchise. I'm looking forward to the remake of Silent Hill 2.

A gripping story, a dynamic combat system and the gigantic staged esper battles make Final Fantasy 16 (previous playing time: 15 hours) a feast for the eyes, ears and fingers and largely fade away minor flaws such as weak side quests and an unstable frame rate.

With "Forspoken: In Tanta We Trust" we get a fantastic, but also relatively short adventure that complements the story with an exciting finale. The fantastic duo excels in battle, so "In Tanta We Trust" is definitely worth checking out. With a playing time of almost three hours, we get the perfect complement to the main game. "Forspoken: In Tanta We Trust" convinces with its new story. Not perfect, but very entertaining.

In this country, the PS2 cult series should only be known to die-hard anime fans. After "Trigun: Planet Gunsmoke", which was shown at a Sega event in 2002, unfortunately disappeared shortly afterwards without further public announcement, the first "Gungrave" was released in the same year, which quickly became a cult hit among anime fans. A 26-episode anime series produced by Madhouse was released in 2003, followed by a no less leaden 2004 sequel, Gungrave: Overdose. After 14 years of fun, the spin-off "Gungrave VR" was released for the PSVR in 2018, which is to be understood as a prologue to the new "Gungrave G.O.R.E" by Iggymob and Prime Matter. Technically, "Gungrave G.O.R.E" is doing impressively well for an indie production. It runs very smoothly in performance mode (4K/60fps), the hit feedback is powerful, the video sequences are pretty and the levels are visually varied. And it's all accompanied by a driving electro-industrial soundtrack that perfectly suits the atmosphere of the game with its shrill jazz and rock influences. The bloody bullet ballet (like the PS2 predecessors) can be quite frustrating at times. Especially due to the fact that the checkpoints were distributed rather unfavorably. This is shown e.g. in the train stage, where you have to dodge signs and obstacles while fighting countless enemies at the same time. If you are thrown off the train, it means immediate game death - and that you have to start the entire passage from the beginning. In the later course of the game there are always such unfair passages. Gungrave G.O.R.E. offers dull but stylish old-school ballroom orgies that will certainly not appeal to everyone. The frustration factor is sometimes high and some design quirks are annoying, but the core gameplay of shooting, fighting and tactics has been implemented all the more. Anyone who, after a steep learning curve, masters the protagonist's skills and shoots himself into a "flow" will be rewarded with an "okay, one more round" feeling. Hopefully a potential successor won't be another 18 years in the future. Anime fans who like old-fashioned arcade shoot-outs should definitely take a look, despite the mixed reviews.

Better than his bad reputation. Those looking for a charming-trashy twin-stick shooter with massive upgrades for weapons & figures, can take a look for about 20 dollars. Ideal for in between

I was so looking forward to the game, but the finished product is really disappointing. Although I like the story and atmosphere, I find repetitive gameplay just boring. Kojima has his best years behind him...
