If you thought Far Cry 5 was too big and repetitive, you will enjoy post-apocalyptic Hope County. Though New Dawn is just meant to be "in between", there is a lot of variation thanks to the Expeditions, missions and the possibility to conquer bases.

Climate change is not a new thing for Civ, but it has been missing in a few games. It may sound strange, but it is very nice to have it back in Gathering Storm as it adds a lot of depth.

Shooting birds with a catapult is amazing. The simple graphic style is easy on the eyes and is even more lively in VR. This is not the game of the year, but it does guarantee a good time.

The last part of this special cross-over between Disney and Square-Enix seems to collapse under its own weight, but yet it stays on both feet. It is taking you to the end in the loveliest way. Worth the wait.

My Time at Portia is a very big RPG which is filled with a great variety in missions and activities. It is unique and upbeat, though some gameplay is a bit shallow and sometimes things take a bit too long.

Quotation forthcoming.

A Fisherman's Tale is a very original adventure game with a few good puzzles. It is very charming and offers a good hint system to keep you from getting stuck.

Resident Evil 2 is everything a remake should be. The game stays true to the original version, while also offering a totally new experience.

Vane is a delightfully designed, short game. It is a pity it is trying too hard to impress, cause it forgets to put the player first. The good ideas are just a bit too ambitious for a small studio like this.

This crazy adventure offers entertaining hack 'n slash action and many references. however, these moments are rare and might speak to Suda51-fans more than to other gamers.

A singleplayer version of Gwent, that sounds boring, but it actually is amusing. It's written very well and tactical it knows how to challenge a gamer.

Desert Child stands out because of its charming style. The combination of racing and light RPG elements is loads of fun, but the repetitive gameplay that lacks depth does not make this game very enjoyable.

Rivals is not the classic Command & Conquer we have been waiting for. If you are open to something somewhat less traditional, you will enjoy this competitive strategy game to the fullest.

Below is beautiful and endlessly intriguing, but also rigid and immensely frustrating.

As an indie game Ashen really knows how to impress a crowd. There is so much variation in this game of 20 hours, that it easily makes you forget about all the technical mishaps.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is difficult, but don't let that get the best of you. It offers a brilliant combination of stealth and turn-based tactics to challenge you. The story could have been better though.

Gris is one of the most beautiful games of 2018. Amazing drawings come to life in a unique platformer that stays fascinating throughout.

After two okay'ish Yo-Kai Watch games, this one finally hits home. There is so much interesting stuff to do, the story is told from two funny perspectives and it knows how to take a rpg-spot that used to belong to Pokémon.

Just Cause is a mess. It stutters, it crashed, the AI is broken and the new system of frontlines is taking away important things we love about Just Cause. They shouldn't have gone with missions, but instead with more freedom.

If you own a Switch, you must own Super Smash Bros Ultimate too. There is so much content to enjoy in one amazing package. You can play this game how, when and whenever you want and that is truly ultimate.

The comeback of Darksiders is a let-down of apocalyptic scale. Its obvious some ideas are borrowed from a different darker game series, but Darksiders does not add any finesse to it. Plus, with so many bugs, it is simply not fun to play.

Finally, a fun and nice looking comeback for marble sims. The levels are great, it knows how to motivate you to do better and the graphic style is funny.

Fallout 76 has many bugs, but that is not its main problem. That is the wrong focus. The fun aspects of Fallout are gone now that you always have to be online.

Hitman 2 does not offer the quality of the 2016 reboot. It is an exciting and challenging stealth game though.

Battlefield 5 offers a lot of the same things like Battlefield 4, but then in an even more complete war experience. Grand Ops is nice, though we do miss the battle royale mode that is promised to arrive later.

This bundle offers three fantastic remasters of the platformers. The gameplay feels a bit outdated, but the visuals definitely do not. A great nostalgia trip if you ask us.

11-11 tells a war story like we hardly ever see in games. There is a great eye for detail and for beautiful things that can arise from horror. The gameplay elements are not as amazing as the story, but they are not bad either, so you can still thoroughly enjoy the story.

The gameplay is easy but intuitive and it has definitely drawn inspiration from Pokemon Go. While both games are extremely attractive and cute, the game might be a bit too simple and shallow for the fans.

Tetris Effect is a beautiful and artsy way to experience the old game of Tetris. The full package might not be as full as we would have liked it to be, the creativity and love for this puzzle game is definitely there.

The LEGO universe really needs some innovative ideas, cause this game is just a bit too familiar. We really like the DC baddies, but it deals with the same issues we often see in a LEGO title.

The Quiet Man is so bad, we can't shut up about it. A great idea is totally killed by bad gameplay and full motion video we simply can't get our heads around.

This is not bad for a VR experiment of the Dark Souls studio From Software. The setting is amazing, it is too bad it can't be explored all too well using the Move-controllers.

The Missing is not the most perfect game we have seen this autumn, but it does have its heart in the right place. The bizarre platformaction has fun puzzles and a lovely story to really pull you in.

This is a very entertaining game using the Cthulhu universe very well, but both visually and when it comes to depth, it could be so much better.

This game will test your detective skills to the utmost. The art of deduction! Its style is something else and the story is very interesting, but the game will not make things easy for you.

This is one of the best games of this generation. Memorable characters, amazing missions and action are combined in a grown up story that reinvents itself again and again. Terrific!

It is original, comprehensive and fun: Astro Bot Rescuie Mission is such a natural game, you tend to forget you are wearing VR goggles. It's a modern classic.

Starlink offers a refreshing view on toys-to-life with a lot more seriousness than its competitors. Its an expensive one though.

Moonlighter is one of the most beautiful pixel games of the past few years, with a fun twist on both roguelikes and rpgs.

Quotation forthcoming.

Call of Duty games deliver exactly what is expected, but Treyarch did make some interesting changes in the multiplayer mode. The battle royale-mode is an awesome addition to this fresh Call of Duty.

Transference reminds us of Silent Hill. The integrated full motion video makes this a very scary experience, though the puzzles aren't super difficult. This is more than just a walking simulator though.

Super Mario Party seems to be the right step back for the series. The focus is on the competition again, meaning the party is a lot more fun. The game is more accessible and yet offers more tactical gameplay. Too bad there aren't many boards to enjoy.

Forza Horizon 4 might be a bit conservative. Apart from the continuously changing seasons and the amazing British landscapes, you could call this a new version of Forza Horizon 3.

Odyssey is the best game in this franchise. It would have been great if the less interesting content was discarded (such as a few locations that are too simular), but the important missions, the war and the hunt for the sect offer many many hours of fun.

The relationship between two brothers is realistic and cute. The first episode is a bit of a slow start, but the writing certainly is better now.

The Gardens Between lets you play with the time and helps you make levels out of memories. The puzzles are great, but thanks to the simple gameplay principles it is a nostalgic game to rush through.

Fifa 19 is a very complete game, but we are not sure about its course. Instead of pointing out some nuances in soccer or making it a better esports game, the game has used the same limited gameplay mechanics for three years.

The Messenger combines modern gameplay with a mix of graphic styles. The fun, humor and challenging gameplay is amazing, but it wears off a bit when the more open structure is introduced in the second half of the game.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is mainly more of the same thing. Focusing on stealth gameplay is an excellent choice, but the story is all over the place.

State of Mind is a thriller with an interesting story taking place in an atmospheric world that digs deep into ethical questions about what it is to be human and artificial intelligence.

PES 2019 is great at really understanding soccer and making it feel like a real game. The controls are tight, the unpredictability is amazing and it feels like a very solid experience. The only thing that is bothering us are the other players and referees.

Spider-Man captures in an excellent way everything we love about this popular super hero. Its controls are great and it is so much fun to play. This is what the fans want.

Guacamelee 2 is not the most surprising follow-up, but it does offer challenging fights and platform action with a lot of new moves. We had hoped for more of a surprise though.

This game does not disappoint as it does not compromise on anything. The very traditional build-up is perfect, the game world looks like a million bucks and its characters are very outgoing.

This game easily defeats Yakuza 6. Sublime storytelling and great pacing. It's tragedy and comedy all in one.

We Happy Few offers an interesting story and an attractive style. It is too bad collecting and crafting is so frustrating and fights are not very satisfying either. It's not a bad game, but it could have been so much more.

It must feel lonely at the top, but F1 2018 does forget to make changes to the faults of F1 2017. It still is a very deep Formule 1 game with challenging gameplay options.

Roguelike Dead Cells is ruthless, deep and offers a lot of variety. It helps you up when you fall, so you never have to feel like a loser.

Overcooked 2 is a safe but great addition to the first Overcooked with many hours of co-op fun. It is not very fresh in gameplay, it offers a great challenge in a great array of stages.

WarioWare Gold offers old school chaos with tens of microgames. The humor is of great quality, but the mini-games have stayed pretty much the same, making this game feel more like a Best Of than anything brand new.

Good news: The Banner Saga series will offer you an amazing ending that does the franchise right. Everything fits together perfectly and that makes for a very emotional ending of this beautiful adventure.

MXGP Pro does not really deliver when it comes to game modes and presentation, but it does have a good approach in physics and the versatility of this racing sport.

This is one of the best Metroidvania's ever made. A modern classic.

This is an amazing ode to classic JRPGs. Thanks to a few tactical tricks and an amazing exterior it's worth being its own game.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was a very relaxing puzzlegame and it still is. The new levels are fun for people who played the original, though there are only four of them.

Quotation forthcoming.

This game is just more proof how LEGO-games really need to innovate. The Incredibles is not very challenging and the screen gets very chaotic often.

Lumines was a strong puzzle game when it first came out and that has not changed. The Switch version does suffer from framerate issues a bit, but other than that this is an amazing experience.

The Crew 2 is a lot like its predecessor, but it seems to hide the multiplayer even though the singleplayer is not that exciting.

This is a small and free preview of Life is Strange 2. It shows how games of Dontnod play and it is amazing how Dontnod can tell an emotional story in a very short amount of time.

No matter where you walk, in rain forests or snowy mountain tops: Shape of the World looks gorgeous. When it comes to quality and ambition it is nothing like Dear Esther, but on its own Shape of the World is a lovely game.

There is only one reason to play Mario Tennis Aces: it's versatile gameplay. If you do not consider playing this game online or co-op on your couch, you'd have to reconsider buying it. This really is made to be competitive.

Onrush goes for flashy racing action and does so awesomely. There is a lack of different modes to experience, but other than that this is a good racing title for many hours of fun.

The Octo Expansion is exactly what a DLC add-on is supposed to be: a unique view on known mechanics. There are eighty creative and tough missions to enjoy, with multiplayerbonuses that are fun.

This game offers an amazing atmosphere and design that really puts you right in the middle of the Conan universe. It is a pity the ending makes you do a lot of grinding and the end-game content is a let-down too. If you can stand the bugs, the journey in Conan Exiles might be worth your while.

Animal Force starts off as a nice tower defense game in VR, but it swiftly changes into this big task that is simply not fun to finish due to bad choices in design.

This game might be a bit easy, it is still very fun to discover this well created world. It is amazing how well two game genres are mixed into one game.

Catan VR is a perfect VR reproduction of the board game. Everything works as well, just like the real game. It is a bit of a gamble to play this game with strangers, but on the other hand it is easy to forget you are not really in the same room with the other players.

PixelJunk Monsters 1 was a great tower defense game, and its sequel is exactly that. The claymation layer is impressive, but the game is haunted by a clumsy camera and limitations in co-op.

This is a perfect, crazy game to play thanks to the short fights. The gameplay does offer a depth you would not expect and together with the funny story about sushi this is an excellent title to play on your commute.

Vampyr is an intriguing adventure filled with moral choices to make, it is a pity the gameplay is such a disappointment.

BattleTech brings to life the boardgame, including the mercenary fantasies of MechWarrior. There are a few technical difficulties, but other than that this is a great game.

Quotation forthcoming.

The simple but challenging gameplay is just as strong as it was in its predecessors, but a few new features are just wrong. The camera is too much, the framerate is unstable and that makes Runner3 a lot less amazing than it could have been.

Dark Souls is the Dark Souls of all Dark Souls and it deserves a remaster. Period.

Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers is a tower defense-game that is so repetetive and has so many boring minigames, we can't enjoy it.

Detroit: Become Human is an impressive game. The production value is huge, the characters are very realistic and the game offers amazing scenes. However, it does not all add up to one complete experience, as the story seems too big to be told in just this game.

This game tries to unite two very different genres and succeeds a little bit by imitating Super Metroid. However, many elements feel very repetitive because you keep on seeing the same spaces and items.

It looks like a Ghibli movie, and every character is amazing on its own. Behind this childish exterior, you will find a very mature story filled with moral dilemma's. And a bit too much puzzle platform gameplay.

Just like a new season of The Walking Dead, State of Decay 2 is just more of the same thing. Survival is exciting and makes you use your brain, but technically speaking State of Decay 2 is so bad, lots of fun gets lost.

Tropical Freeze is so good as a perfect platformer with amazing level design and a perfect soundtrack. Funky Kong is a fun addition and it makes the game a bit more accessible.

Bombslinger is a nice combination of Bomberman and The Binding of Isaac. But, contrary to the latter, you will be done with Bombslinger in a few hours.

There have been made many compromises to get this huge game playable in VR and that shows. The controls and interface do not use the possibilities of VR to the fullest, but other than that it is amazing to walk around in Skyrim in such a real way.

God of War is a fantastic game in every way imaginable. It offers an amazing world, balanced combat and an emotional story - this is one of the best PS4 exclusives.

Extinction is good when it comes to controls, but after a few hours of doing the same thing over and over again, boredom kicks in. Seeing as the other three modes are pretty much the same, we can state we are highly disappointed by this game.
