    Spyro Reignited Trilogy
    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 The gameplay feels a bit outdated, but the visuals definitely do not.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.

    Legend of Grimrock
    Legend of Grimrock is perfect for the diehard Dungeon Master fan, and those who are unknown with the genre. For the fans, it represents pure nostalgia. For all others it means a challenging, addicting and oppressive gameplay experience.

    Control
    Control is Remedy at its best. With telekinesis as a supernatural twist this time, Control does things we have never seen before in a game. The story is extremely vague and you just have to love that. If you give it a chance, you will be rewarded.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
    The greatest Lego game ever is also the most comprehensive Star Wars game ever. The Skywalker Saga offers dozens of hours of fun, provided you're a massive Star Wars fan or avid collector, or play it lounging with a son, daughter, or friend. For challenging gameplay you are in the wrong place.

    Life is Strange 2: Episode 4 - Faith
    With Episode 4, Life is Strange 2 gets more difficult choices, current topics, and new characters. Dontnod keeps us glued to the screen.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree
    With more creative minigames and innovative features like Pro Rules, Buddy minigames, and multiple online modes, Mario Party Jamboree takes the franchise to the next level. The combination of strategy and chaos makes every match unique.

    eFootball PES 2020
    eFootball PES 2020 is the result of years of experimenting, making mistakes and refining. Both on and off the field this is a phenomenal football game without fuss. The main wishes for PES 2021 are women's football and a defense that is slightly more reliable.

    Streets of Rage 4
    After an exceptionally long waiting time, Streets of Rage 4 lives up to the very high expectations. This extremely colorful, smooth and spirited work by a team of skilled fans is one of the very best side-scrolling beat 'em ups you can play right now.

    Two Point Hospital
    This game is more about the end game than others, but it is still fun to keep all your hospitals on track. It is both comical and grimm, which keeps us interested.

    Tekken 6
    Bigger doesn’t always mean better, as proven by Tekken 6 for the PlayStation Portable. This pocket-sized game impresses more than its console counterpart. It’s quite possibly the best fighting game on the PSP to date. The minor improvements in the game play make the game as a whole more balanced. Only point of critique is the weirdly chosen final boss, but when you look past that, the game is packed with quality.

    Mario Kart Wii
    Mario Kart Wii is a great new game in the series. It still plays like a dream and is perhaps the most enjoyable game of the last few years. Even the additions of motorcycles, Wii-Wheel and online mode are suprisingly good. Mario Kart Wii even does something which most other games lack: It brings fun.

    Split/Second
    Split/Second has great graphics and introduces a couple of interesting new gameplay modes, but in the end the weak controls in the PC-version, the cheating AI and the lack of variety keeps this game from becoming truly great.

    Desktop Dungeons
    Desktop Dungeons is typically one of those games that clicks you through the day when you're bored. The mechanics are fun, humor funny, but after a day you've pretty much seen everything there is to see.

    Enter the Gungeon
    The hell of bullets that awaits you when you enter the Gungeon is weirdly addictive, as you have a whole range of weapons and the map changes constantly. The game has a good foundation with great eye for detail, but those beautiful elements do not fully work together all the time, which can hopefully be straightened out with a patch.

    Crusader Kings II
    Crusader Kings 2 isn't a traditional RTS. The countless intrigues, relationships and family issues that you have to deal with, might make it seem more like a relationship-manager than an actual game. Still, it's quite refreshing and thanks to the countless choices it makes for a great political playground. Every play session is different and opens up a new story, but in return it requires a lot of insight and empathy.

    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
    As soon as you cut open your first cyborg and crush his blue core, you’ll have seen enough to know that Metal Gear Rising is a stylistic murder fest with an amazingly satisfying balance between brutality and finesse. Platinum Games proves once again to be the master of hack & slash, without losing that intriguing Metal Gear appearance. Metal Gear Rising is a fantastic spectacle, that unfortunately ends too quickly.

    Child of Light
    Child of Light is a beautiful, fantastic fairy tale that'll tug at your heart strings with ease. The typical RPG-gameplay and the present puzzles do the production values justice, although it could've used some more depth. What remains is a game we can recommend to anyone; exactly what we hoped for when we were first introduced to the enchanting imagery.

    Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
    Birth By Sleep fixes a lot of things. The story is easy to digest and the focus is on discovering new Disney-worlds. The combat system is the most refined version of the system in Kingdom Hearts ever and the game isn't a step down graphically from the PS2-games.

    The Last Guardian
    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.

    Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
    Dethroning Mario Kart is an amazing achievement in and of itself, and in that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed succeeds. It does this as a gorgeous homage with big and small characters from SEGA's franchises, with great courses and gameplay. It's not hard to be impressed by this lovingly crafted, expansive arcade racer.

    Technobabylon
    Technobabylon is a lovely throwback to the golden days of classic adventure games with Blade Runner elements. This game might seem very science fiction, but when you look around you on an average train trip, you will understand that this game might not even be that far off reality.

    World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria
    Yes, we laughed when we heard about the 'casual' panda's and Pokémon in the world's most well-known MMO. But we admit it: our first impressions were incorrect. Mists of Pandaria is a worthy expansion of World of Warcraft, that's meant for the more serious WoW-player, ironically enough.

    Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion
    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.

    Final Fantasy XIII
    A beautiful adventure that you can’t put down for the first thirty hours. The second half isn’t as gripping as the first, though. It’s interesting that the game sways away from the previous games in the series, but not everyone will be pleased with the linear gameplay.

    The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
    No matter from what perspective you look at it, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is an impressive title. The special storytelling, absurdly beautiful game world and the intimate atmosphere make this a game for everyone.

    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is loud, hilarious and injected with tons of thirty year-old testosterone. Such a cocktail demands criticism for it trying to be an easy game that thinks it can score based on popular nostalgia. Against all expectations this game turns its possible faults into strengths, that come into their own when it turns out that there's a very entertaining shooter behind all of the Last Action Hero-violence.

    Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
    Red Alert 3 is at first a very enjoyable, fun and a more than decent RTS game. The three factions all pack a punch and equally offering you enough depth gameplay wise, without being to unbalanced. Over-the-top action was never this much fun and this is just the thing that makes Red Alert 3 one of the best RTS games ever. And that's something that even the little flaws can't prevent.

    The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith
    The Wolf Among Us shines thanks to great achievements by the voice actors, a color pallet that jumps out at its viewers and twists that grab you by the throat and refuse to let go. The fairy tale figures are portrayed so realistically, that you can’t do anything but let yourself get submerged in the unusual, American subculture of Fabletown.

    ModNation Racers
    Mario Kart has a reason to be jealous. ModNation Racers has fantastic AI, balance and of course endless amounts of creation options. The small problems in the track editor can be taken for granted, but the handling of the karts and the agonizing load times keep this game from pole position.

    Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
    Enslaved takes players 150 years into the future, in a world where both creation and destruction flourish. Its overwhelming beauty of nature entangled with machinery requires a moment to digest. Sadly, the game rarely allows for such sightseeing. Instead players are forcibly dragged through every scene of the game, which then comes to an abrupt close. Ultimately they are left with a very convincing movie, without the gameplay to back it up.
