    There is not a lot of room for surprises in this new American Truck Simulator game, but it still is a good simulation of truck life. The atmosphere in the game and the combination of trucks and America's west coast are great.

    Rusty Lake Hotel is an ultra short, but difficult puzzle game, in which you have to kill hotel guests in the most macabre ways. Every room is full of riddles that will eventually get you to the answer how to perfectly murder your guest. The simple point and click system is great and the puzzles are very well thought through: absurdly excellent!

    Disney Infinity 3.0 offers a great Star Wars adventure, but it is on the short side. Thankfully the side missions are filled with Star Wars fan service that make up for a lot. Technically speaking the game is somewhat glitchy, but the beautifully designed figurines will probably make this game a success once again.

    Etrian Mystery Dungeon is a surprising game that combines two series that have very different game mechanics. It does it very great, as this is an accessible Mystery Dungeon-game that offers more challenge than Pokemon.

    Puzzle Craft acts like it combines two genres, a puzzle game and a city builder, but in reality only the puzzle portion remains standing. The three-in-a-row section is well executed and has a few fresh, new elements, but never really reaches challenging heights.

    The Cities of the Future expansion doesn't solve all of the problems that plagues the original, but does make for a more challenging and playable experience.

    Colorful, humorous and mostly fun to play: Garden Warfare is unexpectedly a multiplayer shooter that can easily live besides Titanfall on Microsoft’s console.

    Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a very cool game at the beginning, but the progression system overshadows all the fun. That is too bad for a game that really shows how awesome Star Wars really is.

    War of the Roses attempts to make you feel like an actual knight who takes part in enormous battles in the middle-ages. Once you master the gameplay you can become the hero of the battlefield, if your timing was correct and you're not lacking any tactical insight. War of the Roses rewards you well for these traits, but that doesn't make it a great game.

    Play Black Future ‘88 especially if you like to wander through procedurally made 2D dungeons with cool weapons. Despite its unclear and repetitive moments, this is a cool roguelike.

    ​The dismal atmosphere, the interesting story and the original use of the Wii U Gamepad make Project Zero: Maiden of Blackwater a unique horror experience. Some parts of the game are a bit old-school, some things are a tad too repetitive, but the horror and the dreary atmosphere make up for that. It is not nice, but it is definitely haunting.

    New surroundings and a twist to the story are exactly what Assassin's Creed Origins needed.

    FTL: Faster Than Light is basically an incredibly simplistic spaceship simulation. The choices you make during the game, make for a complex and challenging experience though. Graphically it might look fun and cartoony, but it's an incredibly hard and unforgiving game in which a small mistake can lead to a game over screen. Despite the high difficulty it's a game that you'll restart constantly, because you'll want to improve on yourself and because it'll stay fun.

    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.

    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.

    We Were Here Together wants to be more than just a light-hearted co-op puzzle game. The narrative layer that this must bring, however, especially detracts from the puzzles, which are strongly designed and can stand on their own.

    Puppeteer is a magical experience as an interactive puppet show. The lovely, though quite sinister style is easy on the eyes and the musical setting feels refreshing. The gameplay doesn't deliver on the same surprises though.

    Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs isn't as much of a game as its predecessor, and gets less frightening after a while. If you wouldn't have to change your underwear 17 times we'd even go as far as to describe this as an interactive novel. At those times the game shines with an intelligent and nauseating storyline. It's just a shame that gameplay elements from The Dark Decent were unnecessarily sacrificed for that.

    A Crooked Mile bring backs a great pace, hard action and the powers of the big bad wolf are once again in your hands. It lets go of puzzles though, which Telltale seems to have completely written off.

    Hustle Kings is a safe purchase for those who'd like a bar sport on the go. The experience isn't spotless, but the large amount of options and modes are greatly executed.

    Fifa Football is a good variant for on the road that'll remain interesting for the remainder of the soccer season. Too bad it struggles at times of which frame drops are the result, and a few key features of Fifa 12 have been left out.

    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.

    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.

    Is it a platformer? Is it a pinball-game? No, it's a pinball-platformer! It's addicting, original and looks great. A frame rate that (apparently only on the iPhone 4) drops drastically every now and then and the short amount of time you'll spend with it are forgivable for anyone who'd like to try something new for a low price.

    Gameplay-technically, Nintendo Switch Sports makes a big impression; especially the subtle adjustments in the recurring sports feel refreshing. In addition, badminton and football are excellent additions that would not have looked out of place in the acclaimed original. The total package still feels a bit bare, so that you get bored of the less fun sports a little too quickly.

    Wildlands is full of illogic gameplay and bugs, but with friends this co-op shooter is loads of fun.

    Rocksmith doesn't replace guitar teachers, but it provides a fun learning method that helps develop your skills, especially for learning the basics of guitar and bass guitar. Even experienced shredders will have a good time with Rocksmith, which is educational software as well as a decent game.

    WarioWare: Get It Together! knows how to give a fresh twist to the now well-known microgame series with a new way of controlling. The enormous amount of microgames are again quite bizarre, although not every microgame is equally successful. Especially in multiplayer, the story mode is very entertaining, which makes it a shame that it only supports two players.

    The gameplay is surprisingly funny and creative and it all looks great. But, its predecessors were better, especially when it comes to story and the repetitiveness of the gameplay.

    Total War: Rome Remastered cleans up the original, but the game won't win a beauty prize. There's a ton of content, with all of the Rome: Total War expansions included and the freedom to play all nations right away. Although it is certainly not a bad game, it is clear to experienced Total War players that the technology has moved on. A somewhat stupid artificial intelligence prevents Total War: Rome Remastered from claiming a place among modern strategy games.
