    ScreamRide
    Screamride ​offers a fun concept that does not seem enough for a full game. Taking a ride in the many roller-coasters is fun and the tool to make your own rides is great, but Screamride misses the bigger picture; a theme park to put those roller coasters in, for example. Demolishing buildings with a catapult is odd and does not fill Screamride's entertainment gap.

    Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
    An ish-load of content, a weird DLC-situation and over the top sexualization of the characters tell a very simple truth: Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is a game without any surprises and it is all about the steady and powerful fighting system. In other words: razor sharp graphics versus zero evolution gameplay-wise.

    Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock
    Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock is a heavy, challenging adventure game. When it comes to puzzles, you are thrown in at the deep end completely, as there are rarely any hints. The result is a pure point-and-click experience that both rewards and frustrates.

    Underground
    Underground is a funny Wii U-game with a serious twist as it is a serious surgery game. It makes an art out of moving as smooth as possible with robot arms, and it is fun but hard to learn, especially because of the GamePad that often gives your fingers a hard time.

    Apotheon
    Apotheon has a surprisingly strong style and the levels are interesting. It is such a pity this game is sickened by loads of bugs. Plus, the controls feel a bit too loose, which keeps the fights from getting any depth.

    Super Stardust Ultra
    The power of Super Stardust is still strong in Ultra, but other parts of the game could have used more. The visuals are simply not very modern and the arcade mode is by far the best mode of all. That being said, Super Stardust Ultra is the biggest package of the game yet, but it is too bad there were no real selling points added.

    The Order: 1886
    You will probably not find any PlayStation 4 game that looks better than The Order: 1886. The game offers an exhilarating script that is presented in a very impressive way. The gameplay seems to be holding the game back a bit, but once you are shooting The Order: 1886 is a blast. It is a pity that the game does not last that long.

    Evolve
    Evolve is a nice but limited multiplayer shooter. Playing the monster is epic and if you manage communication with your team well, hunting is a blast too. But, the limited content and the repetitive gameplay prevent this game from being a monster hit.

    Life is Strange: Episode 1 - Chrysalis

    Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition
    Heroes of Might & Magic III might be the least improved re-release ever. Thankfully the original is epic, but that game is still available for half the price plus all extensions. So the HD version is not interesting for PC owners, but iPad users will probably like this re-release.

    Resident Evil HD Remaster

    Mayday! Deep Space

    The first big DLC for Far Cry 4 is a let-down. There is not any real new content and it offers a lot of repetition. Why buy this for the full price? But, not all is negative, it still feels great to shoot everything to pieces with an interesting range of weapons.

    Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell

    The best thing that Mystery of the Mooil Rig can add to Sunset Overdrive are a few new moves that make traveling over water a bit easier. Unfortunately there is not a big and interesting role for the oil rig to play. After two hours you have finished off all oily energy-drink mutants, meh.

    If you loved the Captain Toad bonus levels in Super Mario 3D World, you will most definitely enjoy this game. It is a beautiful and charming adventure full of fun and different challenges. Too bad the camera is not always your friend, and too bad this game is a bit on the too expensive side.

    The lineair setup makes Lego Batman 3 feel like a step backwards, as we played around in a big open world in part 2 and in Lego Marvel Super Heroes.

    Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
    Persona Q is a great mix between Persona and Etrian Odyssey. The gameplay mechanics from both franchises are complementing each other and offers us a great dungeon-crawler. The interaction between characters is great for people that played other games in these series, but newcomers will find it difficult to really get this game.

    The strong plot of this third episode in the Republique series creates more room for emotional side stories. It poses relevant questions about the role of the gamer itself.

    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel does not feel like a new game at all. Laserguns and the changed gravity do no really add much. Claptrap with his funny comments makes this game enjoyable.

    Fantasy Life
    Don’t let yourself be fooled by the easy controls of Fantasy Life, as this new Level-5 world is a lovely one to discover. Backtracking is not great, but with that many content we cannot really complain.

    Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments
    This game offers traditional point-and-click gameplay with a fast pace and strong storytelling. It lacks excitement and action, but the Sherlock Holmes feeling is definitely there.

    Stronghold: Crusader II
    Stronghold Crusader 2 is not what we’ve hoped: right now the game doesn’t come close to its great predecessor. Still, there are some original ideas to be found here, but thanks to all the bugs it feels like this game has been released too soon.

    Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
    A good game, but not the big new release that makes you feel like you’re playing on your next-gen console. There’s a lot of content here though thanks to all the added downloadable content and the new fighting system is worth the mention. For people who have played the original to death, there’s little on offer here to justify a second purchase.

    Alien: Isolation
    We have waited 35 years, and now finally there is a game that can face Ridley Scott’s classic movie. Alien: Isolation has some moments where it loses the interest of the player, but overall your heartbeat will be racing sky high. This is what an Alien-game should be.

    Wasteland 2
    Wasteland 2 is a classic RPG with a terrific script and a brilliant skill system. Players are required to play slowly and with constant attention, which only adds to the tense gameplay. This is the best post-apocalyptic game so far and the RPG Fallout 3 should have been.

    Planetary Annihilation
    Planetary Annihilation has layers upon layers of features that push the RTS-genre to the next level. The problem is: these revolutionary features are so well hidden that half of the players won’t even find them. There are also some crucial parts missing. The game remains playable, but less of a high quality product as we had hoped.

    Roundabout
    Roundabout makes no sense at all, which is why it is so great. The incredibly cheesy movies in between the gameplay, the spinning car you have to control: it’s all so strange yet so charming. There’s some frustration looking, but the well thought out humour makes you forget about it.

    Wrack
    If you want to re-experience the feeling of playing shooters in the ninetees, but with the added benefit of HD-graphics, look no further. Wrack has that fast feeling that was present in classics such as Doom and Quake. The lack of multiplayer is a big disappointment.

    Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
    Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS often feels as good as previous entries in the series, but it takes time to master the controls on the handheld. Thanks to a lot of content and the possibility of refining your favorite characters, you can play the game endlessly.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
    Shadow of Mordor combines different parts of other successful games, like Assassin’s Creed and Batman: Arkham City, but the game has a unique selling point: the Nemesis-system, which really makes Mordor come to life. Even though the story is insignificant here, Shadow of Mordor remains a fun and original game.

    Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
    Curtain Call takes the original Theatrhythm and mixes it with a bag of new tracks, some new modes and a brand new way to control the game. The end result is a light-hearted trip down nostalgia lane for die-hard Final Fantasy-fans.
