Even in this remaster, Beyond still offers shallow gameplay and a storyline that simply does not excite us. No matter how you look at it (from a movie or a game perspective), this is a big fail.

Football Manager 2016 is back with a vengeance, thanks to the good restructuring of existing features. There is not so much new in this game, but it is definitely improved.

The first episode of Void & Meddler works okay, but on the most important parts it just does not deliver. It seems a somewhat bad introduction to a good season, as it has a lot of interesting characters and a good soundtrack.

When playing this game in a team it is one of the best online shooters of 2015, even though it has some bugs and not a lot of content. If you'd rather play alone, you might not like Rainbow Six Siege as much.

The gameplay is surprisingly funny and creative and it all looks great. But, its predecessors were better, especially when it comes to story and the repetitiveness of the gameplay.

Rock Band 4 is made for two audiences and it succeeds only a little bit. The gameplay is a lot better, but the features are definitely worse. Making this game backwards compatible is a nightmare, but as long as you just play the new stuff, you will have a good time with Rock Band 4.

Just Cause 3 stands for freedom and fun. Every gameplay element is working towards one and the same goal: doing whatever you feel like. Just Cause 3 is simply a game you must play, it would surprise us if you wouldn't like it.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is like the dream of a child: big robots, dinosaurs and aliens come together on a planet filled with wild and beautiful locations. It sounds ridiculous, but it works perfectly. Well, may be not perfect, but Xenoblade Chronicles X sure comes close to that.

This is a Japanese role playing game that you do not see often anymore. The story is epic, the localisation makes characters into persons and everything combined makes this game a must have for JRPG lovers and gamers that appreciate a good story.

What should have been the big comeback of one of Nintendo's most obscure heroes, is just a dull, uninspiring game that does not fit in with the other end of the year games that are worth your time.

Vermintide is great when it comes to depth and replay value. The classes bring a good mix and a strong combination with the very well developed melee system. There are few small bugs, but this still is a very solid co-op experience.

What could I have done differently? Even with the option to rewind time, it is a question you will often ask yourself when playing Life is Strange. A unique story that asks of you to make big decisions, just to blow you away with the consequences.

Divinity: Original Sin still is a great RPG. We enjoyed the new features such as spoken texts and small tweaks in gameplay. The only thing that was tricky was to control the game with the controller instead of the keyboard and mouse. And that split-screen co-op is still as amazing as it used to be.

The Old Hunters honors Bloodborne in its deepest form. The uniquely designed, eery worlds offer a great place to enjoy the awesome fighting system. You will never feel safe, but you will often feel satisfied.

Star Wars Battlefront offers a lot of cool moments, gives you that warm fuzzy Star Wars feeling and is pure perfection when it comes to visuals and sound effects. However, the fact that there is not much depth to it, nor a lot of content, makes Battlefront a smaller game than we were hoping for.

Galak-Z The Dimensional offers spectacular space fights with a satisfying roguelike experience. It is a pity the roguelike elements disappear more and more into the background when the game continues, and that the environment is the same everywhere, but other than that this is a good space experience.

The dull antagonist and the annoying protagonist do not help StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Voids story, but Blizzard does show that it knows strategy games. The campaign is diverse, the co-op is highly entertaining and the visuals and sound are terrific.

Mario Tennis Ultra Smash misses a lot of balls and it hits the rest of them straight into the net. Serve us something better next time, Nintendo.

Heart of Thorns introduces an innovative progression system that is a lot more satisfying than just adding new 'gear' to collect. The new zones are annoyingly difficult, but that's a good thing for hardcore players.

Five Card Quest is one of the slowest games we have played this year, but that does not mean it is boring. You have to think about every detail and that makes fights exciting.

Fallout 4 stays at the same level as its predecessor, but the open world gameplay has expanded quite a bit and is highly entertaining. The option to rebuild the Wasteland from scratch is great for both players and future modders.

Skylanders: SuperChargers is a bit cheaper, and that is noticeable in the slightly boring and matte design of the Skylanders, which thankfully does no longer matter as soon as you step into your car to have a fun online race.

The storytelling is not great in Rise of the Tomb Raider, but it does offer a lot more content, more tombs and varied fighting scenes in a very nice setting.

The dungeons and the stories might feel a bit bland, the fighting system in Tales of Zestiria is powerful. This is more of a good action title than a good RPG, and it will take a lot of willpower to struggle your way through those dungeons to get to the sweet spot of the game.

Anno 2205 is the city-builder that the community was waiting for. 2205 is transparent and easy to learn for beginners, but it still has the soul of the Anno franchise, full of complexity, duration and that gorgeous atmosphere.

The nine hour long story of Black Ops 3 is so bizarre, it took us a while to get our heads around it. But the fact that a CoD-game surprised us in 2015 is very positive. The gameplay however, is still solid as a rock.

Racing feels amazing and organic, with just a small amount of depth which could have been a bit more refined. We could have done without the storylines told by actors that try too hard to be young and modern.

As the official game for the rally world championships, WRC 5 offers a real experience thanks to smooth driving and a good setup of the game. It is a let-down that the game sells short when it comes to the technical bits.

Guitar Hero Live does not reinvent the guitar, but it does bring enough fresh elements to make even the classics feel brand new. The FMV-gigs are both cliche and entertaining, and Guitar Hero TV shows that that Guitar Hero is still relevant in 2015.

This will cost you more than your average game, but you might want to consider it anyway, as it is so much fun combining franchises in a world filled with LEGO bricks. The balance between videogame and physical figurines is done quite impressively.

The ending of Tales from the Borderlands is worth it. All key characters get the closure they need, and even though there are still some flaws in the game that we have been mentioning at every episode now, the finale is amazing.

We were promised classic '90s 2D beat-'em-up-gameplay with the newest developments, but instead we get a very mediocre game that we probably wouldn't even have enjoyed twenty years ago.

Human Resource Machine is a challenging and cutesy puzzle game about humans and programming humans. And the good thing is, you do not have to be into programming to enjoy this game to the fullest.

Downwell is a game you keep on playing. The flashy gameplay, perfectly balanced rogue-lite elements and constant rewards make this game an instant classic. The game is surprisingly deep and the only thing that gets in the way of it being brilliant, are the limited controls smartphones and tablets offer.

Tri Force Heroes offers some fun new features, but gameplay-wise it is simply not dynamic and refined enough. This game definitely does not feel like a full-on Zelda game, but more a fun spin-off.

​343 Industries is not Bungie and that shows in Halo 5: Guardians. It is a unique Halo game that offers the series a new future. The single player has the feel of a triple A science fiction epic, while the addictive multiplayer often makes us reminisce about Halo 2 in those good old days.

At first it seems war ships are a lot less flashy than tanks or airplanes. At sea it is all about tactical navigation, forward thinking and the ability to see the bigger picture. It is amazing how World of Warships has all these elements, without having to slow down.

​The dismal atmosphere, the interesting story and the original use of the Wii U Gamepad make Project Zero: Maiden of Blackwater a unique horror experience. Some parts of the game are a bit old-school, some things are a tad too repetitive, but the horror and the dreary atmosphere make up for that. It is not nice, but it is definitely haunting.

Transformers Devastation is a good game that shows respect and love for the original Transformers. Developer Platinum Games has found the right look and feel, but it does forget to add variety to this game. The gameplay mechanics could have been more thought through as well.

Panoramical is an intense, diverse amazing and totally freaky experience. ​

The Walking Dead version of The Escapists feels more like a skin than a completely new game. And it is a skin that does not even make sense in this setting.

Even though Syndicate does not struggle with the same issues as Unity, there are a few annoying elements to it. That is frustrating, but they do not 'break' the game. The characters are interesting and the location where this adventure happens is gory and gorgeous at the same time. Syndicate is definitely worth playing.

This special game succeeds in having players look at games in a different light. Even though this game will only speak to a small audience, this is a unique project that will probably be just as often discussed as The Stanley Parable.

Soma combines elements of BioShock, Telltale's The Walking Dead and our worst nightmares into one phenomenal horror experience. Technically speaking, the game is not great, and the horror can sometimes be predictable. But if you can live with that, you will be stuck to your screen for at least ten hours.

If you have a difficult time saying goodbye to Geralt, Hearts of Stone is the perfect add-on. The story is pretty exciting and the extra items and surroundings blend in well. The monsters offer an extra challenge, but the bosses are often a bit too difficult.

Strangely it is a true pleasure to see FC Barcelona-esque combinations on your iPhone. There is no better soccer game available on the mobile devices, but EA Sports does make Ultimate Team a messy game that does not motivate you to build that star team.

Battle of the Bulge is a fun and interesting game. The strategy expert will enjoy this more than the random gamer who wants to dabble, but the military chess pieces will definitely entertain anybody.

Rising Tide makes Civilization:BE better in almost every possible way. Besides an alien sea to colonize, this add-on develops the diplomatic system and Affinities into something new.

Armikrog is a game you really want to love. The atmosphere and the claymation cutscenes are amazing, which makes it even more pitiful that the game itself is not interesting at all and quite technically annoying.

The upgraded versions of the Uncharted-games are great, especially for Drake's Fortune. The changed shooting system and the upgraded visuals are making the game even better than before.

Dropsy turns old-school point-and-click adventure gameplay into something special. The use of pictures in dialogues instead of text offers a gameplay element that makes us think out of the box. If you don't lose your way, you will enjoy this game very much.

NBA 2K16 shows love for the true basketball fans. The movement of the players is authentic and the tactical depth seems endless; this game is the best basketball muse that we have seen thus far.

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is big, even for this genre. The length comes from the classic, old gameplay which is a disappointment. Other point-and-clicks did modernize. The story is funny, but the characters are uninteresting and the dialogue sections are way too long.

This might be a free add-on; the content and fun is as good as the full story. The controls of Plague Knight feel so different and the surroundings feel brand new. This is a great excuse to play Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows again.

The basic principles of Blood Bowl 2 are fine, but the DLC should have been included in the original game. Still, this is a game that is a lot of fun for tactic gamers.

Penarium is an extremely difficult, but also fun game. No matter how much you want to curse and throw your controller away; there is always time for another round.

This is modern soccer. It might seem boring at the beginning, but it grows into very satisfying and challenging gameplay that offers unforgettable moments in soccer.

This should have been a glorious comeback for EA's golf series, but it is a let-down. Especially because it takes everything away that made the last games with Tiger Woods so much fun.

The partly Dutch Kyn is made by only a few people and that is an amazing accomplishment. The levels look great, the gameplay is great and the game takes about 20 hours. There are a few technical errors, but it is the lack of story and personality that makes this game okay instead of great.

This is a challenging and accessible turn-based strategy game that will keep you playing for a long time. The tactical options are great and the hand-drawn visual style is very nice, though the story does not really shine like the rest of this very enjoyable game.

For games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, people invented early access. This game is just not finished, even the soundtrack cannot save it.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon is a surprising game that combines two series that have very different game mechanics. It does it very great, as this is an accessible Mystery Dungeon-game that offers more challenge than Pokemon.

Disney Infinity 3.0 offers a great Star Wars adventure, but it is on the short side. Thankfully the side missions are filled with Star Wars fan service that make up for a lot. Technically speaking the game is somewhat glitchy, but the beautifully designed figurines will probably make this game a success once again.

Bungie offers more of the same with The Taken King, but does change the feel of Destiny. That makes this first real DLC a great moment to start playing Destiny, as The Taken King complements Destiny in both quality and quantity.

BioWare says its goodbyes in style. With their last DLC, Trespasser, they put all your favorite characters in the spotlight and they make us long for a new game sooner rather than later.

This is not a videogame; there is nothing challenging about it, no puzzle element and no way of doing things wrong. As a creative toy it is okay, as there is a big load of furniture to choose from, but in the long run, Happy Home Designer is simply not going to suffice as a proper Animal Crossing-game.

Pro Evo 2016 is without a doubt the best soccer simulator we have ever played. That special feeling you get when playing soccer, is exactly what you will get when playing this game. The menu's are a bit messy, but even so this game deserves to be in your collection.

Master Spy is like Super Meat Boy. The game is challenging and if you do your best, you will get rewarded. It is not too long, but it makes up for that in many other ways.

Max is our hero, and he will stay our hero. The game world is convincing and that is important as it plays a big part in the story. The game has its flaws, but the atmosphere, the racing and fighting make up for that.

The game is not for everybody, but we as a Dutch website really enjoyed the story from Frisian history. This is the most fun a history lesson can get.

Behind the cuddly exterior of Armello, there is a pretty cool digital board game. There is nothing new here, as Armello picks things from different existing board games and puts them into one fun game. The games are too slow and luck is too much of a factor in Armello to make it really enjoyable.

Statis is an atmospheric, creepy, enticing and sometimes frustrating experience. The game looks kind of okay, but the power is in the sound design. The game never feels too unfair or too difficult, but you really have to chase pixels to the end.

Party Hard combines the killing playground of Hitman with the styling advise of Hotline Miami. To creatively disturb parties in a very bloody way is a lot of fun, but it does get boring pretty quickly as well.

Lumini is more than just mood lighting. Even though the atmosphere is relaxed, you are constantly puzzling, fighting and exploring. The game may lack in challenge, but it delivers on visuals and sound.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is the ideal game to play with two players. Your space ship has a unique way of controlling it in which you have to do everything at once, but it works like a charm. Everyone has its own tasks, but it is just as important to function as a team.

Calvino Noir is very good in making a blueprint of the jazz era, but it also has some disappointing flaws. It comes with a lot of bugs and crashes which makes the game just as beautiful, but a lot less nice to play.

Volume offers a big and mixed assortment of puzzles that are often very challenging. The visual style is amazing, the story about Locksley is interesting and the puzzles are fun. Volume frustrates but is very convincing too.

Renowed Explorers offers a lot of stuff to love. The game is complex, the combat is nice and traveling is worth while as well. There are a few things we miss about this game though: a good tutorial, the possibility to change the difficulty level and locations to travel to.

Tearaway Unfolded is not just a simple port. The creative vision of the original are still there and the change of controls and subtle changes to levels make Unfolded a new, interesting and solid experience. However, Tearaway is by far not the biggest, best platformer out there; in fact, it is a bit weak on the platform side. Especially the camera does not really help in many instances.

Nova-111 tries to do something new and succeeds. The combination of slowly planning in turn-based combat and quick actions in real-time is a real brain challenge in a very unique way.

Super Mario Maker is a crazy fun way of taking your own spin on thirty years of Mario. It is very easy to use, you can switch between building and playing in an instance and the online experience of sharing levels with other people will keep you busy for an endless period of time.

World of Tanks is a soulless experience on Xbox One. It is solely about you as an individual racer and it only makes you hungry to upgrade, instead of it being a nice multiplayer experience. World of Tanks does not even try to make the experience meaningful, it is only out to get your time and your money.

Forza Motorsport 6 introduces gamers with heavy rainfalls and night races and offers as much content as we are used to in this franchise. The career mode is slightly boring and nothing is revolutionary in this game, but Forza Motorsport 6 will definitely let you experience cool moments.

RymdResa is a special roguelike in which you are humanity's last hope. You might not like the repetitiveness of the game, but they can bring you in a melancholic trance in which poetry is the higher power. Its minimalism is elegant, the storytelling is interesting and the surreal space experience makes RymdResa a moving piece of art.

Very quick after Her Story, Contradication is another great FMV-game. It follows the standard whodunit formula, but because of the convincing acting, a likeable key character and hours of detective gameplay, this is one of the best in the genre.

As a puzzle game In Between is good, as dark story about accepting death it is a lot better. But, especially the way in which these two elements come together is the glue that makes this game amazing.

Act of Aggression is no C&C-clone, but it is a classic RTS game with a few fun twists and a fresh look on the aftermath of Act of War. Don't be mislead by the simplicity, because there is a deeper strategy game within.

Graphically speaking, Zombi is dated, but the gist of the game is modern. Zombi gives you that urgency to survive and it deserves the name survival horror more than the recent Resident Evil games. The system of being a new character every time you get killed is amazing, but it is unfortunate that the combat is not always that much fun.

Satellite Reign is an amazingly detailed game in cyberpunk setting. Sometimes it gets a bit too chaotic and the story is not as memorable, but the feel of the game and the moving gameplay are extraordinary good.

This game is a painful goodbye for the series. In many ways this is the best Metal Gear game thus far, with unique details, multiple ways of succeeding in missions and nearly perfect stealth gameplay. But, the story is messy and it feels unfinished.

Lara Croft Go is less balanced than Hitman Go, but it offers the same relaxing puzzle fun. In this compact version of Tomb Raider Lara gets to visit beautiful locations that are full of treasures and interesting puzzles. Too bad the game is a bit short, because we like the innovative gameplay.

Reign of Bullets tries to have its own spin on the classic shoot 'em up genre. Unfortunately it does so by adding things that feel offensive to the genre, instead of actually making things fresh and new.

Devil's Third has everything it takes to become a cult hit; katana and grenade throwers, explosions, mutants, vulcanos with blue lava and a tough character that lights a cigarette within this madness. But this game does not meet its full potential. The frame rate is terrible, the surroundings are soulless, the loading times are long and the boss fights are frustrating.

Until Dawn is an interactive, 8-hour long horror experience in which you decide what happens to the characters. It is very much like a horror movie, meaning the story is predictable and there are a lot of cheap thrills. But, the way in which your choices and actions all influence the story are excellent and make this game one of a kind.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is a loving re-release of the original 360-game. The game looks terrific and offers a lot of content, thanks to the additional missions that used to be only available for PC-gamers. It is a good deal, but it still is an oldie as the franchise developed so much over the past years.

The fourth episode of Tales from the Borderlands is a let-down, especially compared to the astounding third episode. Although the new setting is great, there just is not much speed in this episode. Plus, it is very hard to remember details that are important in moments of choice.

Beyond Eyes offers a unique concept that is great in concept and graphics. However, the gameplay does not really inspire as much as those elements, so it is very easy to become bored and annoyed by this piece of art too.

N++ offers level after level full of challenging obstacles that flow very smoothly from one to another. N++ is not as strong when it comes to making your own levels or when the inspiration is clearly starting to wear out within the thousands of levels in this game. The style, the music and the huge number of challenging levels make N++ exceeds its predecessors.
