    Let there be no doubt: there couldn't have been a better end to this fantastic trilogy. Again and again your jaw will hit the floor in excitement. God of War III is so polished that the little mistakes will be all the more apparent, but it's nothing compared to what you get: an epic, well balanced action game.

    Drake's Deception takes its time to shape a story, and the result is a game that really comes together in the second half. When it does, it's really spectacular and questions that have been lingering in the background are answered in interesting ways. If the exciting singleplayer isn't enough content for your liking, the multiplayer offers a fun pastime.

    Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's road trip is enchanting and wonderfully written, meandering between emotional and absurd moments. The battles remain great and the soundtrack is overwhelming, but it's the charming environments and characters that make Rebirth a triumph. Every location you visit feels like a small vacation with your best friends.

    Rock Band is like a new graphics card. The card has fantastic power and has everything you'd want, but the incredible high price in Europe makes for a difficult choice. Will you go on with the purchase and rock out this summer or wait a few months for a better version?

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder is surprising, creative and at the same time a worthy, two-dimensional sequel to Super Mario Odyssey.

    Journey is the best co-op game, most subtle storytelling and the most beautiful virtual piece of art we have seen these last ten years. The PlayStation 4 compliments that. Even though the visual optimization is small, this is a diamond that does not need a lot of cleaning.

    With a nearly perfect combination of level design, gameplay, storytelling and a challenging experience, studio From Software delivers a package deal. This game might not be successful for Souls-fans due to its scale and limited gameplay options.

    Celeste shows other platformgames how its done. The game combines difficult but honest platform action with an emotional story.

    We thought Street Fighter IV was it. We thought it couldn’t get any better. We thought wrong. The greatest fighting game ever just got better, and kicks its former self’s ass. It feels complete, and the fact that we weren’t really missing anything last time around says it all. Farmer Capcom has gotten better at milking the Street Fighter cow, adding nutrients and flavor to an already delicious dairy product. Yes Capcom, we forgive you…this time.

    Puzzlegames with musical elements aren't anything new, but Beat Sneak Bandit does feel the part. The game has a delightful graphical style and easy to learn but hard to master gameplay.

    We’ve rarely had this much fun with a game as simple as Threes!. Everything about it just works, from the visual execution to the deep gameplay and funny sound effects. Hours become minutes with this game.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is almost perfect. There are a few flaws in the way and the game is not as demanding as it's predecessor, but the tsunami of content that keeps you busy is amazing. The world of the Wild Hunt is so much more than just a pretty picture.

    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a game with many (beautiful) faces. It is a fantastic piece of social criticism, an excellent role-playing game, a tragic comedy, and a wonderful parody of games like Pokémon, Crazy Taxi and Animal Crossing. Infinite Wealth is so diverse and yet so firm: this is why open world games are so much fun.

    With its slick presentation, inventive controls and the most comprehensive single-player experience the franchise has ever had, Street Fighter 6 is more accessible than ever. The game looks great and plays even better. This is without a doubt one of the most fun fighting games of recent times - and therefore one of the best installments in the series.

    Forza 3 is the most complete and impressive racing game of this moment. The race cars really feel spot-on and the Storefront can be very addicting. If you have any interest in realistic racing games, this is the game to play – both online and offline.

    Demon's Souls is still as mysterious and inimitable as before, no matter how many walkthroughs have appeared since then.

    So, you thought you were done with endless runners? Forget it, Alto's Adventure is a piece of art with very elegant gameplay and a dreamy feel to it. This game is highly addictive.

    Calling Undertale a strange game would be wrong. The story is bizarre, the characters are fun and the scenes are funny. Plus, this RPG can be very surprising. The problem Undertale is struggling with is that you do not really have the power to influence the story at all and there are a lot of long fights you have to get through to see everything this game has to offer.

    Batman: Arkham Asylum isn't just for the fans: it delivers a great experience to all lovers of action games. The game effortlessly combines puzzle-, stealth- and fighting-elements. Arkham Asykum sets the new standard for future licensed games.

    Fire Emblem: Awakening honors its predecessors and manages to put itself on the same level. With a series, that is according to many, the best tactical turn-based strategy-series ever, we can’t imagine a better compliment to give it. No, you know what, it’s the best in the series. Not in the least because a portable game hardly ever has as much personality and involvement as Awakening.

    The Delicious Last Course is an almost perfect extension. The game mechanics and animations take the boss fights to the next level, the new way to earn in-game money is a lot more entertaining and Ms. Chalise provides the necessary variation. While the fun may be over too soon, this expansion makes Cuphead even better.

    The Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. definitely is the most rich one. This fighter offers an awesome package for both newbies and veterans. Fights with up to eight people in one arena make for a great party. We would have liked to see the new features a little more refined.

    Chrono Trigger hasn't lost its magic in 2009. The combat system is unique and effective, the story and its characters impressive and even the looks and sound of the game are more than you could wish for. It the end it was worth waiting for a European version.

    Journey is short, very short, clocking in at a little over an hour. But that hour is an hour of unique and magical experiences.

    A Japanese RPG that is challenging and refreshing enough for players that have seen all the other examples in the genre, while being easy on newcomers. The fantastic, enormous gameworld makes this an absolute classic on Wii and one of the best RPG's of the last ten years.

    Harmonix paid good attention to what made Rock Band such a success. It fully adapted Rock Band 2 to this knowledge and that's why single player and multiplayer mode gives you the feeling that you're playing one solid game. The game offers much more than its predecessor and even the tracklist (what seemed almost impossible) is even better than the first one. Harmonix has given the fans exactly what they want and has given newcomers a nice starting point.

    This is the best looking, most comprehensive Mario Kart game ever. This is an essential for Switch, though Wii U-owners who have played the game and its dlc for years might be a little bit less interested.

    Device 6 is a unique combination of literature and games. Text and puzzles are nicely accompanied by a surprisingly chilling atmosphere. Multiple times it manages to hurt the brain, but keeps players invested with an intriguing story.

    Both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus look so much sharper and more colorful thanks to this HD-remake, but we can't ignore the cracks ICO starts to show. Shadows of the Colossus is still relevant and awesome today, but has some problems with loading textures.
