Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 review: Finally as good as it used to be!
Two of the best skateboarding games of all time have been remastered in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2. Graphically, this has been greatly improved compared to the original, the 17 courses shine with many new details. The gameplay, on the other hand, hasn’t changed much apart from a few new tricks, which is a good thing because it still works great: in just two minutes we have to complete as many tricks and tasks as possible in order to break the high score. If we don’t feel like it, we can let off steam in free skate mode without a time limit. The soundtrack is still a highlight. Many old songs are still there, but new ones have also been added.

Diablo 3 for Nintendo Switch – Eternal Collection gameplay in the trailer
In the third part of the famous Diablo series, we slice our way through hordes of monsters in a fantasy scenario, collecting loot and experience points as usual. With a total of over 800 different abilities, the diverse enemies and varied areas, the simple game principle still feels fresh even after many dozen hours. The Eternal Collection also includes the Reaper of Souls and Return of the Necromancer expansion packs. As a result, there are a total of seven character classes to choose from, which play completely differently, which increases the replay value enormously. The fact that we unlock new, harder levels of difficulty after completing the campaign also contributes to the high level of long-term motivation.

In Heave Ho we swing over chasms in co-op.
In Heave Ho we control potato-shaped creatures that have no legs but very long arms through levels full of obstacles, dangers and bottomless chasms. We move forward by swinging ourselves around like a pendulum hanging by our arms and throwing ourselves through the air. This works particularly well in co-op with up to four players, because then we can form long chains and thus overcome greater distances or catch each other if a jump misses the target a bit. Due to the fact that the levels are quite short, Heave Ho is also very suitable as a pastime for in between.

The principle is simple, but the higher levels of difficulty are quite demanding.

Mortal Kombat 11 – Gameplay Trailer – The Splatter Prediction: It remains brutal.
Mortal Kombat 11 stays true to the tradition of the famous fighting game series. This means that this time too we are dealing with very explicit depictions of violence. The spectacularly staged finishing moves have become even more creative and are so exaggeratedly brutal that they are more comical than shocking. But it is more important that part 11 has again become a great fighting game. In terms of play, not too much has changed: the new Fatal Blows, which we can only trigger when health is low, now enable surprising comebacks. Incidentally, although the focus is on multiplayer, there is plenty of solo content on offer, including an intricately staged story mode.
