Monster Hunter: World
9/10 9 von 10
"This latest - and surely greatest - entry simply makes it easier than ever before to understand why its fans fell in love with it in the first place."

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
8/10 8 von 10
"Yakuza 6's narrative builds to one of the finest climaxes in the series - perhaps, in fact, the best of the lot."

Dragon Ball FighterZ
7/10 7 von 10
"The result is a brilliant fighting game for newcomers, and a wonderful one for genre fans, [...]"

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT
5/10 5 von 10

The Inpatient - 4/10 4 von 10

Star Wars: Battlefront II
4/10 4 von 10
"With our objections to its premise put aside, there's a lot of enjoyment to be had out of Battlefront II's campaign."

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
7/10 7 von 10
"Still, those seeking a game large and enveloping enough to carry them through the holiday season and beyond will find that particular box well und truly ticked."

Call of Duty: WWII
7/10 7 von 10
"Even away from War mode, this is the most fun we had in a COD multiplayer in years."

Need for Speed: Payback
4/10 4 von 10
"[...] It simply doesn't have anything like the kind of quality to justify the enormous time commitment it demands."

Hidden Agenda - 4/10 4 von 10

Assassin's Creed: Origins
6/10 6 von 10
"There are enough signs of improvement to suggest the next entry could yet be the fresh start Ubisoft promised this time around."

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
7/10 7 von 10
"Like its predecessor, The New Colossus is a stunning technical achievement and an unusually stylish act of videogame cinematography."

The Evil Within 2
6/10 6 von 10
"The black bars are gone; instead, it's convention that keeps The Evil Within 2 constrained."

Forza Motorsport 7
8/10 8 von 10
"[...] Forza Motorsport 7 is a fabulous racer."

Gran Turismo Sport
6/10 6 von 10
"Perhaps this is a prologue by another name, filling a gap before Gran Turismo 7."

Cuphead - 8/10 8 von 10

Fire Emblem Warriors - 7/10 7 von 10

Golf Story - 5/10 5 von 10

Super Mario Odyssey
10/10 10 von 10
"Like BOTW, Odyssey is a new entry in a long-running series that belies its age with sprightly invention, taking big risks with an established formula, and having all of them pay off handsomely."

Destiny 2
8/10 8 von 10
"It is a game much better at explaning itself, that wants to be enjoyed and understood, and is happy to reward players for simply being there."

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
8/10 8 von 10
"The memories of that amysmal story mode soon fade, and those prepared to put the hurs in by themselves will find a game as fluid and flexible as any on the market."

Project Cars 2
8/10 8 von 10
"When Project Cars 2 gets into gear, there's little else like it."

Star Fox 2
5/10 5 von 10
"We can only speculate as to how it might have been greeted two decades ago, of course, but the years have not been kind to Star Fox 2, despite the success of an unorthodox narrative framework that was, in many respects, before its time."

Absolver - 8/10 8 von 10

Steamworld Dig 2 - 8/10 8 von 10

Metroid: Samus Returns - 6/10 6 von 10

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
9/10 9 von 10
"It's perhaps not quite good enough to bring you to tears, but if Odyssey is to be Mario's best game this year, it has a pretty high bar to clear."

Lawbreakers
8/10 8 von 10

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
8/10 8 von 10
"Once it gets into gear, this is a rare breed: a finely paced action game with a story to tell and no creeping sense that the needs of one are undermining the quality of the other."

Yakuza Kiwami
8/10 8 von 10
"While Kiwami was presumably sketched into life primarily for new players who came on board with Yakuza 0, there's also plenty here for old hands to fall in love with all over again."

Sonic Mania - 7/10 7 von 10

Matterfall - 5/10 5 von 10

Dishonored 2 - 9/10 9 von 10
"... that the game manages to feel so disarmingly original even in the wake of its groundbreaking predecessor and excessive pre-launch exposure is its greatest surprise."

Hitman - 9/10 9 von 10

Titanfall 2 - 9/10 9 von 10
"Ideas strong enough to power entire games are introduced and then tossed away casually."

Watch Dogs 2 - 8/10 8 von 10
"There's a distinct whiff of a Rockstar production to Watch Dogs 2's San Francisco, with its scale and polish."

Planet Coaster - 8/10 8 von 10

Pokemon Sonne & Mond - 8/10 8 von 10

Call of Duty: Infinte Warfare - 7/10 7 von 10
"No wonder Infinite Warfare reminds us of other games: it has too much of an identity crisis to stand on its own."

Robinson: The Journey - 7/10 7 von 10

Battlefield 1 - 9/10 9 von 10
"... and a moving singleplayer campaign ensure that Battlefield 1 is better than its predecessors in almost every way."

RIGS: Mechanized Combat League - 8/10 8 von 10
"RIGS is a compact but deep package, then, and one executed with confidence that belies its launch-game status."

Gears of War 4 - 7/10 7 von 10
"As new starts go, then, this lays some solid groundwork for the series' future."

Battlezone - 7/10 7 von 10

Batman: Arkham VR - 7/10 7 von 10

Mafia 3 - 6/10 6 von 10
"Mafia III is among the best in its cluttered genre."

Civilization 6 - 6/10 6 von 10
"Its latest entry is reliably gorgeous and comforting, but as a series, Civilization is being quietly surpassed."

Worlds VR - 6/10 6 von 10

The Wolf Among Us - Multi - 6/10

Fazit: "Even at its best, the plot is more interesting for its use of fantastical characters than what it does with them."

Hohokum - PS4, PS3, Vita - 8/10

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty - Multi - 6/10

Velocity 2X - PS4, Vita - 8/10

Gods Will be Watching - PC - 4/10

Valiant Hearts: The Great War - PS4, One, PC - 7/10

Fazit: "Valiant Hearts is simple, humble even, but it's never facile, and it's impossible not to be moved by the very personal stories it tells along the way."

Divinity: Original Sin PC 8/10
ab EUR 39,99

Fazit: "Divinity is a colourfully written and often funny game, but one that doesn't deviate much from the fantasy rulebook, an area where a more substantial break from the past would have been welcome."

Shovel Knight - PC, 3DS, Wii U - 8/10

Pullblox World - Wii U - 8/10

Road Not Taken - PS4, PC - 7/10

Beim Titelthema wird No Man's Sky - die wunderbare Indie-Space-Sim - von allen Seiten beleuchtet. Aber auch Microsofts Rennspielhoffnung Forza Horizon 2 kommt nicht zu kurz.

Future Publishing, Bath, UK / www.edge-online.com

Watch_Dogs PS4, One, PC 8/10 ab EUR 60,99 (Konsole)

Fazit: "Watch_Dogs was so well received at E3 2012 not for its looks, but what it promised: a truly new way to play open-world games in which the concept of agency extends beyond choosing where to go and what to do next. And whether you're on foot, behind the wheel or in combat, Watch_Dogs delivers on that promise."

Wolfenstein: The New Order PS4, One, PC 8/10
ab EUR 52,99 (Konsole)

Fazit: "In looking to the past, Machine Games' brass-balled Nazi shooter has secured a brighter future for Wolfenstein."

Tomodachi Life 3DS 7/10
ab EUR 40,99

Fazit: "Otherwise, this is a delightfully strange and often surprising piece of work; it's more plaything than game, perhaps, but the smiles it generates will be broad and frequent."

Der große Aufmacher unter dem Titel "War Machine" ist das neue Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, aber auch ein spannender Vorbericht zu The Evil Within darf nicht fehlen.

Mario Kart 8 Wii U 9/10 ab EUR 58,99

Fazit: "Mario Kart 8 is as essential a purchase as Super Mario 3D World."

Trials Fusion PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC 8/10
ab EUR 35,99

Fazit: "And when you land a difficult jump perfectly or finish a tough track with only 200, rather than 300, faults, it's clear that despite the occasional wobble, Trials' inimitable magic remains absolutely intact."

The Elder Scrolls Online PC 5/10
ab EUR 39,99

Fazit: "But it is difficult to imagine many others investing hundreds of hours in a place this bland, in a formula this familiar, and in a game this demanding of both your time and your money."

Kinect Sports Rivals Xbox One 5/10
ab EUR 64,99

Fazit: "Yet all the good work Rare has done on the trimmings counts for little when you play with a device that is still too finicky and untrustworthy [...]"

Child of Light PS4, PS3, PC 5/10
ab EUR 18,99

Fazit: "It's a game that, for all the intricacy of its systems and the charm of its painterly world, feels oddly empty."

Kirby Triple Deluxe 3DS 7/10
ab EUR 40,99

Fazit: "As it is, his 3DS debut is too uneven to be essential, but too charming for fans to miss."

Das Coverthema der Ausgabe ist Insomniacs actiongeladener Ausflug auf die Xbox One: Sunset Overdrive. Aber auch die PS4-Umsetzung von The Last of Us kommt nicht zu kurz, wie auch Vorberichte zu Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel und Batman: Arkham Knight.

Titanfall Xbox One, 360, PC 8/10 ab EUR 59,99 (One)

Fazit: "It's a thoroughly successful evolution of the twitch shooter, broadening its scope both upwards and outwards as well as expanding its toolset."

inFamous: Second Son PlayStation 4 7/10
ab EUR 54,99

Fazit: "As an open-world game, Second Son feels emaciated. There's little to do in the way of side missions, and what is here becomes repetetive, unlikely to sustain beyond a single playthrough."

Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS3, 360 9/10
ab EUR 29,99

Fazit: "Ground Zeroes is a resounding success in every respect bar its price tag, but value is relative. Fourteen hours in, we're still learning."

South Park: The Stick of Truth PS3, 360, PC 8/10
ab EUR 59,99

Fazit: "So, yes, their irreverent take on the medium may have a few technical shortcomings, but you'll usually be grinning far too mucht to care."

ab EUR 29,99

Dark Souls 2 PS3, 360 9/10 ab EUR 44,99

Fazit: "It is made to be played for hundreds, if not thousands, of hours as you try new builds, explore PvP and experiment with covenants, all the while slowly peeling back the layers of its lore."

Thief PS4, Xbox One 7/10
ab EUR 52,99

Fazit: "This is far from the Desaster that many feared it would be, and fans who take the time to customise their settings ahead of their first playthrough will find a rewarding world here to pick clean."

Yoshi's New Island 3DS 4/10
ab EUR 40,99

Earth Defense Force 2025 PS3, 360 5/10

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze Wii U 7/10 ab EUR 44,99

Fazit: "During Tropical Freeze's most exacting sequences, you may yearn for Mario's reliability, but the bludgeoning force of Retro's presentation is enough to carry a powerful, if traditional, platformer over the finish line."

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 PS3, X360, PC 4/10
ab EUR 54,99

Fazit: "The first Lords of Shadow is remembered as a commendable achievement from a relatively small team working to a comparatively tight budget."

Es gibt weiters einen spannenden Vorbericht zu Elite: Dangerous, dem Nachfolger zu David Brabens großem Weltraumklassiker. Die Redakteure widmen sich außerdem Evolve, Wasteland 2 und Planetary Annihilation.

The Walking Dead: All That Remains (Episode) PS3, X360, PC 7/10 ab EUR 29,99

Warframe PS4, PC 5/10

Weiters gibt es einen gruseligen Vorbericht zu Alien: Isolation, Einblicke in inFamous: Second Son, Thief, Lords of the Fallen und in den Indie-Kracher No Man's Sky. Die Redakteure scheuen sich ebenso nicht, das aktuelle Aufkommen von Microtransactions in NextGen-Konsolen zu betrachten.

Dead Rising 3 Xbox One 8/10
ab EUR 68,99

Killzone: Shadow Fall PS4 6/10 ab EUR 69,99

Fazit: "The campaign, despite it's pacing problems, some poor checkpointing and Guerilla's traditionally patchy dialogue, is the best day-one showcase od the new PlayStation's capabilities."

Ryse: Son of Rome Xbox One 6/10
ab EUR 66,99

Fazit: "The game has a decisive ending, but it also opens the window to something even more fantastical, offering greater scope for mechanical depth and further extraordinary visual extremes."

Forza Motorsport 5 Xbox One 7/10
ab EUR 64,99

Need for Speed Rivals PS4, PS3, Xbox One, 360, PC 7/10

Super Mario 3D World Wii U 9/10 ab EUR 55,99

Fazit: "If the true measure of new hardware's worth is how stark the difference is between it and what came before, then this is the most next-gen game that 2013 has yet produced."

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag PS4, PS3, Xbox One, 360, PC 9/10
ab EUR 49,99 (PC)

Fazit: "Stealth games are only as good as the flexibility of their encounters, and in that regard Black Flag is the most generous Assassin's Creed game to date."

Beyond: Two Souls PS3 exklusiv 5/10 ab EUR 68,99

Fazit: "The studio's commendable dream - of a marriage of mechanics and storytelling that takes videogames to new emotional heights - remains out of reach, and the rivers of photorealistic tears aren't quite enough to make up for it."

Pokémon X/Y 3DS exklusiv 8/10
ab EUR 43,99

ab EUR 39,99

Wii Party U Wii U 5/10

Future Publishing, Bath, UK / www.edge-online.com

Grand Theft Auto V PS3, X360 10/10 ab EUR 64,99

Fazit: "It's a remarkable achievement, a peerless marriage of world design, storytelling and mechanics that pushes these ageing consoles to the limit and makes it all look easy."

Disney Infinity PS3, X360, Wii U, 3DS, Wii 7/10
ab EUR 59,99

Fazit: "Like a trip to Disney World, you'll always feel you could be doing more. But then that's also a mark of Infinity's success: it's a Disney game that finally lives up to the name."

Future Publishing, Bath, UK / www.edge-online.com

Saints Row IV PS3, X360, PC 8/10 ab EUR 39,99

Fazit: "This is no rip-off. It's a love letter to an entire medium. Volition has clearly been playing the same games you have."

Splinter Cell: Blacklist PS3, X360, PC 6/10
ab EUR 32,99

Fazit: "Ten men searching for Fisher doesn't make for ten times the excitement, but it sure does give him a lot to shoot."

Rayman Legends PS3, X360, PC, Wii U 9/10

Fazit: "This is one of the most jubilant, vividly imagined and open-hearted platformers to come along in a long time."

Pikmin 3 Wii U 8/10 ab EUR 34,99

Fazit: "Twelve years after the original and nine after the sequel, little has changed - but little really needed to."

Tales of Xillia PS3 7/10
ab EUR 52,99

Fazit: "What's left is, while smartly streamlined, a thoroughly orthodox game within a well-established type, a niche within a niche that's getting smaller all the time."

Deadpool PS3, X360 3/10
ab EUR 51,99

Fazit: "While we'll accept that Deadpool the character is an acquired taste, this is an indisputably poor game, one whose knowing winks and quips come off not as metacommentary but as tacit apologia for its litany of specific failings."

Diesmal wirft die Redaktion einen detaillierten Blick auf Destiny. Zudem werden Titanfall, Watch Dogs, The Puppeteer und noch einige andere besprochen.

Quelle: Edge #257, September 2013
Future Publishing, Bath, UK / www.edge-online.com

Company of Heroes 2 PC 7/10 ab EUR 39,99

Fazit: "It's not a glorious revolution, then, but, COH2 is a solid continuation of the finest WWII RTS around."

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. 3DS 7/10
ab EUR 41,99

Fazit: "Still, while the comparison to its predecessor does it a few favours, rest assured that Dream Team Bros' additions and curiously entertaining battles do enough to reawaken the desire to see this adventure through to the end."

Die Redaktion hat voreilig ihre Entscheidung getroffen. Sie proklamieren vorläufig die PlayStation 4 zum Gewinner des Console Wars. Sie werfen weiters noch Blicke in das Spiele-Lineup der neuen Konsolen, darunter Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack, Infamous: Second Son, Titanfall, Dead Rising 3 und auch Ryse: Son of Rome

The Last of Us PS3 exklusiv 10/10 ab EUR 64,99

Fazit: "Naughty Dog has delivered the most riveting, emotionally resonant story-driven epic of this console generation."

Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS 9/10
ab EUR 41,99

Fazit: "As ever, Nintendo pays extraordinarily close attention to minutiae, and New Leaf's many tiny visual details and animations help to make its world - your world - all the more convincing."

Remember Me PS3, X360, PC 8/10 ab EUR 36,99

Fazit: "It is, in other words, exactly the kind of tale you'd happily watch play out on any screen - silver or plasma."

Game & Wario Wii U 6/10 ab EUR 41,99

Grid 2 PS3, X360, PC 9/10 ab EUR 29,99

Metro: Last Light PS3, X360, PC 8/10 ab EUR 41,00

Fazit: "The trade-off for a distinctive personality, of course, is that Last Light is occasionally unyielding, but the desire to see what waits in its next tunnel remains a powerful draw throughout."

Dead Island: Riptide PS3, X360, PC 3/10
ab EUR 24,90

Fazit: "As with its predecessor, Riptide does offer fun with friends, though it's the kind for which the mechanics can only take partial credit."

Don't Starve PC 6/10 ab EUR 8,80

Fazit: "Don't Starve is by no means a bad trial run for Klei's new way of working, but it's a pursuit for those with a wealth of patience and an appetite for pain."

Injustice: Gods Among Us PS3, X360 8/10 ab EUR 47,99

Bioshock Infinite PS3, X360, PC 9/10 ab EUR 37,99

Fazit: "Irrational has made a game in thematic dialogue with its predecessor, with the same interests but different tastes, and one that expands mechanically and technically on what came before."

Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm PC, MAC 7/10
ab EUR 37,99

Fazit: "For an expansion, HOTS is a dense package, adeptly fashioned and hugely enjoyable."

SimCity PC 6/10 ab EUR 59,99
