This is not the Fire Emblem you know, though the strategic fights, characters and bizarre music are still there. This is a game that seems simpler, but will make it for the long haul.

Diluvion is a beautiful game to look at, but exploring can get a bit dull after a while. The camera is not really great, the controls aren't either, but the combat system works well.

Thanks to the new first person perspective in Resident Evil, this feels like a truly new game. The survival elements are simple but sweet: Biohazard is a genius horror game, and the first big video game that is worth playing on PlayStation VR.

Playing around with gravity never felt so good. Kat has an amazing playground that is even better than the original.

This is what it feels like to be Neo in The Matrix. The simple but amazing surroundings combined with the original principle that time only changes when you move, makes Superhot an amazing experience.

There are not many games as cruel and bloody as Killing Floor 2. Taking down waves of huge monsters was never as satisfying as in Killing Floor 2, but the gameplay is not as solid as it should be.

Shin Megami Tensei 4: Apocalypse is a nice remix of its predecessor, but it is a bit shallow. However, we do love this cyberpunk adventure with its refined gameplay mechanics.

Super Mario Run looks and feels like a solid 2D Mario game, but it offers a new way of taking control of Mario. At first it is frustrating, but eventually the game offers surprisingly deep gameplay.

Owlboy looks amazing and has a soul, but the story is a let-down. The gameplay gets interrupted all the time, which is frustrating.

This is the ultimate traditional puzzle game. The new colors make Round 2 a little bit different from the first, and there are so many new puzzles that you can easily get through the holidays with them.

Dead Rising 4 is an amazing game that gives you the opportunity to go ballistic on hordes of zombies. But, it does not offer a lot more than just that.

Let It Die is a pretty crazy action RPG that can take a lot of your time. The game is free to play, but does not make you pay every five seconds, which is great.

The Alps in Steep are both exciting and relaxing. It is so much fun to spend hours and hours on your snowboard in these amazing looking mountains. There is not a lot to complain about, apart from the paragliding which is just not the same as going skiing or snowboarding.

The Last Guardian is a loveletter to those who loved ICO/Shadow of the Colossus, but also, more generally, to anyone who loves this amazing interactive medium. Unfortunately, the development hell is real, and The Last Guardian does not impress as much as the first games.

For police chases please do not buy The Crew: Calling All Units. This kind of gameplay is done far better in other games.

The relationship between the four friends is the heart of an amazing adventure. The beautiful world with all its exciting secrets is so lovely to explore. The story might often be difficult to understand, the old-school Final Fantasy touch is back and that is awesome.

Driveclub VR is mostly a rebuild of the standard PS4-game, but the VR-part does offer a new experience. Too bad it is not an experience that you cannot miss.

Dragon Quest Builders is much more than just a construction game. It is an inspiring hybrid between two genres with an amazing mission structure and lively characters.

This vr-tank-shooter offers a few hours of fun in co-op, but the difficulty level might be too frustrating for solo players. Compliments for the amazing design, that fits the VR scene very well.

This game is very different from the first Legend of Heroes. The story will stick with you for a long time, and it is amazing how the game toys with your righteousness.

Imaginators offers what the fans have been asking for for years: an amazing way of building your own Skylander. It is too bad the physical figurines are getting less important.

This game makes you feel euphoric and disappointed at the same time. Flying is amazing, but the story line is so short and does not do the mysterious setting any justice. A pity, cause Paris is formidable.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a great addition to the franchise. It is way more spectacular and it feels like a richer experience than the first one.

The tower of blocks that is Tumble VR is built on very unstable puzzles. If you keep on building, you will definitely find some beautiful things, but you might have stopped playing before that happens.

Infinite Warfare is a good game, but certainly not the best shooter of this fall.

The first DLC for Dark Souls 3 is short. But the cold setting, enemies, weapons and spells are entertaining. Could have used a bit more boss fights though.

Flying Wild Hog tries really hard to modernize the shooter series, while the heart of it is still the same. There are indeed new elements that offer a new experience, but they are also distracting from the shooting action. Unfortunately the story is not great, which makes Shadow Warrior 2 an okay but not excellent game.

PlayStation VR Worlds is an okay bundle of demo's, but it could have had so much more in store for us. The London Heist and Scavengers Odyssey are our favorites, in case you do not get motion sick easily.

Arkham VR is one of the prettiest virtual reality experiences thus far. It is steady, but unfortunately somewhat short. The interaction had us longing for more though.

Battlefield 1 is an excellent game, thanks to the awesome setting. The characters and the well-written story make the singleplayer just as worth while as the multiplayer. We are impressed.

Titalfall 2 is exactly what we wanted two years ago: a full game that is very entertaining and offers the interesting addition of Titans. The singleplayer is short but sweet and the multiplayer is even better than in the excellent first Titanfall.

Thumper is intense, killing and a nightmare, but when it ends you want to do it all over again. There is not a lot of variety when it comes to action, but the gameplay keeps things interesting.

Rez, the trippy on rails shooter was a classic, but now that it is playable in Virtual Reality it is even better.

Hurray, the combination Mechs, sports and virtual reality is a fact. Rigs offers a futuristic experience we could only dream of. There are enough options to make this first-person action game very comfortable to play. A very strong start for PS4 VR.

Gears of War 4 is a best of-game, offering all the things we love about previous Gears of War games. It's obvious The Coalition knows the franchise, and respects it.

Mafia 3 is a great storytelling about revenge, hatred and discrimination. The setting is convincing and the game offers a lot of fun, but the open world gameplay gets repetitive very quickly with only a few missions that are actually excellent.

Assetto Corsa does not have a lot of tracks nor cars, does not have a good campaign and the multiplayer mode is average. But, it also offers very impressive physics for a console race game.

Cossacks 3 is a good RTS with a lot of addictive features. It's historically correct, the background music is excellent and it simply is an amazing game without adding too many distractions.

The same lousy fighting system without adding any experience points, the same locations and the same characters; there is way too much Sticker Star in Color Splash. Thankfully the dialogue is awesome, but it could have been much better.

NBA is about passion, story and impact and the 2K-series shows that off like no other game. Any game of basketball is an amazing experience. Basketball fans already know this, but it's time the rest of the world starts playing.

Nuka World is one of the most original locations in the whole Fallout franchise. Nuke World is big, unique and offers a few cool missions. Too bad Bethesda makes you the bad guy, cause the Raiders are very unpleasant and there is no alternative to it.

Thankfully the games are pretty much the same as they were, but the details in this remaster are disappointing. The PC-version specifically has to deal with a lot of issues and technical disappointments, so we advise you to pick a console version.

Thanks to a new engine and the new mode The Journey FIFA 17 feels brand new. We are glad that the game is still authentic, though it does not really shine. The gameplay can feel a bit slow and it is often frustrating. FIFA 17 is a solid game, but it sure has some rough edges.

Though Blizzard seems to be very "inspired" by other MMO's while making Legion, it is still very much a Warcraft add-on with new class quests and legendary weapons to make this very old game feel extremely new again. World of Warcraft is fun and adventurous again.

Even more than other Forza Horizon games, with this one you'll experience the awesome feeling of driving beautiful cars in a huge open world. There is more space for off-road racing, which is a nice feature on top of the strong concept of Forza Horizon.

Master of Orion is the perfect game for anyone who has never played a 4X-game, but veterans will not enjoy it as it misses the depth of modern 4X-titels. However, for newbies there is a lot to learn, an amazing design and an awesome soundtrack.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past is a fragment of the past in itself. The remaster can't hide that the game is simply old-fashioned.

Though the commentary is a bit old-school, some important licenses are missing in action and the referee is an amateur, PES is an awesome soccer game. The AI and the many tactical options make the soccer feel very real.

ReCore wants to be a perfect combination of action game and open world Metroidvania, but it is not able to offer the consistent adventure that we were looking for. There is simply no balance.

Double Fine offers a unique game with a retro futuristic 70's style and strong gameplay. This Metroidvania does miss new features and the story could be better.

Gone in November is a heartfelt and valuable window into the thoughts of a terminally ill and depressed person.

Hearts of Iron 4 is a strategy game with a nice flow. The many aspects of war are realistically embedded in the game, thought the AI unfortunately fails very often.

Grow Up hasn't really grown up yet, cause you get a full sand box to explore. It still fails to be a game that everybody will love, but if you enjoyed BUD's first adventure, you will definitely enjoy this one too.

Cyber Sentinel is an ode to classic cyberpunk. In this game you are a hacker that needs to puzzle its way through the data of big, corrupt companies. The difficulty level is great, but the story, design and gameplay are a disappointment.

Starbound offers way more than just a colorful and cute outside. Its inside is a deep platformer that makes you start a colony on a planet filled with alpaca's, or something like that. And it is awesome.

F1 2016 is a race game that is truly worth your time. It is realistic without being extremely hard to master. A rock solid F1 experience.

Tricky Towers is a lot better than other party games, especially with three others it is a curse fest (in a good way!). Playing alone is hardly any fun though.

Pac-Man 256 is another smart twist of the classic. The game is very entertaining, and that is all thanks to Pac-Man being a timeless classic, but also because of the randomly generated mazes. Especially good for short sessions.

Riptide GP: Renegade is fine, but it is a bit of a boring variety of Hydro Thunder. The water racer offers a cool single-player, but especially co-op is really awesome in Riptide GP: Renegade.

Tactical, very multi-faceted, tight: the clinical style of Videoball could make you think this is some complex game, but it is actually a fantastic version of air hockey. Too bad the matchmaking does not work and there are limited users online for the game to actually take off.

Abzû successfully copies the most important and much-loved features of Journey, but it misses that polish to make it just as memorable as Journey.

Though Cyber Sleuth can get a bit grindy, the systems and the story that come with it are fascinating enough to keep you occupied for hours. This is the perfect grindgame for those long summer nights.

Brut@l is one of this summer's most pleasant surprises. By taking inspiration from classics like Rogue and adding new gameplay mechanics, striking visuals and some very fluent gameplay, Brut@l becomes a great game in its own right.

This game is shallow and very out-dated. The source material makes it so easy to make a solid fighting game, but yet Eyes of Heaven is quite the opposite. Don't buy this game, just go for the old JoJo on PlayStation.

Necropolis is a pretty standard dungeon crawler, but it does give things an interesting twist. The fighting system is steady, while the surprising potions and curses allow the game to be a unique roguelike. Could have used more variety though.

I am Setsuna is a beautiful ode to the JRPGs from the 90's, but it does not really do anything new. It's a nostalgia trip for JRPG players, but that means you will also have to deal with the classic annoyances in the genre.

Lucky's Tale is not innovative at all, but it does show how much fun a platformer can be in VR. [Tested with Oculus Rift]

This would be a great way to get rid of some daily aggressiveness: break as many expensive items you can using a golf ball. Unfortunately the controls are so frustrating and the game is so boring, it only got us more aggressive.

Star Oean: Integrity & Faithlessness does not try anything new, but it builds on JRPG stereotypes that we have experienced too often. It's simply too cliche.

Stardew Valley is a fine, smart farm simulation game. It is slow and it involves a lot of daily tasks, but in Stardew Valley there is something ingenious about those tasks.

Boxboxboy is more of what we know, but there is one big new feature that makes it feel so different. The option to play with two sets of boxes is a gush of fresh air that Boxboxboy could really use.

Never Gone is like a Zach Snyder movie: aesthetically perfect full of rough content. The game is a good action experience, but the controls are not precise enough to feel as slick as it looks.

The Climb is the perfect example of excellent VR design. The controller and headset work together perfectly, so it really feels like you are rock climbing.

EVE Valkyrie seems to be between a tech demo and a full game. It is an 'okay' multiplayer shooter, that especially feels cool thanks to the virtual reality elements. But as soon as there are better shooters for Rift, EVE Valkyrie will no longer be relevant.

Monster Hunter Generations respects its roots, but makes a big difference in character customization. This might not be the best choice for newcomers, but veterans can enjoy this game for many months to come.

At this moment Pokemon Go is still plagued by bugs and server issues, but behind it all is a very special game. This year there will be nothing that compares to Pokemon Go.

The Technomancer tries to be an epic RPG, but it fails miserably. The big world, layered story and many combat possibilities are okay, but they do not matter as the game does not seem to have a soul, or a good experience to give gamers.

It is not a big change from other LEGO games, but The Force Awakens sure is a game that is great for co-op between people of different age groups. The new parts in which you shoot taking shelter are pretty underwhelming though, especially when playing this game by yourself.

This game makes a 25 year old Game Boy game relevant for current gamers. It is true to the original, which makes it a lovely blast from the past to carry around with you.

The Solus Project is simple but hard, there is not a clear story, but at the same time there is so much history. The survival part might be a bit too simple, but exploring the world makes up for that.

Not only does this game bring the gameplay mechanics to the same high level as the slick visuals everybody knows it from, there are also a lot of small improvements that make this game heavenly to play.

Inside, from the makers of Limbo, is just like its predecessor - truly amazing to explore. The beautiful atmosphere and the intriguing themes are interesting, even though the game is fairly short and does not succeed in being very challenging.

Blood and Wine is gigantic; it might be the biggest expansion on a single-player game ever. This is not just huge in square metres, CD Projekt Red put so much effort into this DLC, it almost feels like totally new The Witcher game. Amazing.

The studio put a lot of love and care into this game, but there is more to a good JRPG than just an extended fighting system and passion. The storyline is not interesting and for characters like this, we would not bother saving the world.

Mighty No. 9 should have been a great play on the legacy of Mega Man, but instead is a cheap product that nearly has any creativity in it. This is not what Mega Man deserves.

Our feelings regarding the reboot of Mirror's Edge are mixed. The parkour gameplay is amazing and it feels really quick, but all the other stuff, like the story, the open world and the RPG elements are big let-downs.

This game is frustrating for the body, but relaxing for the mind. In this dream-like game your reflexes are tested to the max, and that is surprisingly satisfying.

If you need more content for your Renowed Explorers travels, then this definitely is the DLC to download. But, if you are looking for something to freshen up the game, this will be a disappointment.

If you do not let the graphics get the best of you, Atelier Sophie is a great game to spend time with, full of cute girls and explosives.

Rusty Trails may seem like the next indie platformer, but this is way above average. It keeps on coming with fresh and new challenges and the story is intertwined with the gameplay perfectly. It's such a pity the controls are not optimal and the ending is very sudden.

Kirby: Planet Robobot does not change enough to feel fresh. The introduction of the mech offers simple but entertaining levels, but the game never really gets very complex. That's not particularly a bad thing though, the game is still great fun.

Fallout 4 was a strong game, but it had some weak spots when it came to the visuals, the challenge, the storytelling and the RPG elements. Bethesda obviously listened to the critique, as Far Harbor actually is a tad better than the original game.

It's not necessary to go to LucasArts or Sierra for a bit of nostalgia. Kathy Rain is a great modern classic point-and-click adventure that fits perfectly in line with Blackwell, Gemini Rue and Shardlight.

Risk of Rain has a lot of issues that have to do with chaotic graphics and boring action, but the original features save the day. The game is very stressful, but as it is different every time you replay it stays interesting.

The best Hero shooter ever and the coolest competitive shooter of recent years is brought to us by a developer that has never even made a shooter before. Overwatch brings online fun for anybody, no matter how experienced or how old you are. This might be the game of the year.

Stellaris has a lot of depth: any aspect of your civilization is fully customizable. The game is at it best when everything comes together perfectly, but that does not quite happen in the middle of the game. But, the more time you invest, the more dynamic the in-game action gets.

Shadow of the beast is a fighting game that evolves around getting high scores. Fighting is not too dynamic, levels aren't so well designed and the pretty cool story gets killed off brutally. There is not much to love about Shadow of the Beast.

Pocket Card Jockey turns a crazy combination between horse races and solitaire into a funny and addictive game. The game is complex, but if you use Horse Off Course, tune into your strategic skills then you should have a blast playing this game.
