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.

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.

Golden Abyss comes out on a new platform, but plays it safe. There's lots of climbing, shooting and joking, but not a moment where the player is truly surprised. The only new ideas come with the touch controls, but they don't add anything worthwile to the game. A solid and fun adventure, but nothing special.

Farm Heroes Saga puts on a familiar show, which'll have it picked up shortly. It does also have its shortcomings though, which is why it probably will not be as successful as its predecessor: Candy Crush.

The stars of Luigi’s Mansion 3 are the huggable slime blob Gooigi and the particularly creative hotel floors packed with secrets and puzzles. In the area of ghost hunting, this third part feels less varied due to the greatly improved vacuum cleaner and the lack of variation in ghosts.

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.

10000000 is a grand interpretation of Puzzle Quest. The combination of the Bejeweled-game mechanic and accessible RPG-additions work pretty infectiously. If you have the option: choose the iOS-version though, it's made for swiping gestures.

The action is too familiar, the controls can be a pain every now and then and the singleplayer is only five hours long. Still, the overall feeling when playing The Darkness II is that it's a fun experience, thanks to the great story and fun cooperative mode.

This game is better than its Wii U version. Though not much has changed, the new characters do offer just a little bit variation that we really appreciate. The combat is a bit repetitive at times.

Ultros is beautiful, psychedelic and a great metroidvania that turns into a gardening game halfway through. You just have to be in the mood for that, even if you don't have to.

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.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 has a few weird changes to the formula, like superficial RPG-elements and a low difficulty. The fantasy world is breathtaking, but the game that takes places in it feels like it has an identity crisis.

We like that this game is focused on racing in a team, though overall this game is not as addictive as its predecessor. The game design is top notch, but the design of the tracks unfortunately is not.

Finally, the way Super Mario 3D All-Stars is offered is not very consumer-friendly, to say the least, as the bundle will no longer be available physically or digitally after March 31, 2021... It is also easy to imagine what else this collection could have offered; here and there Nintendo could certainly have gone a step further in terms of new features.

With Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Game Freak is betting on innovation, not improvement. Although the game drops a few stitches and asks the player to put aside their skepticism, setting up the first Pokédex remains fun for tens of hours. Legends: Arceus is much more dynamic than many games in the franchise and keeps players enthralled for a long time with different ways of discovering, collecting and fighting.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life offers amazing storytelling and world-building, but when it comes to gameplay mechanics and technique Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 2 are way ahead.

The iPad isn't exactly the ideal platform for an action game, but it doesn't get any better than the experience Max Payne offers. It's still a classic, with a gripping story and amazing action. Players might get tangled up in the controls from time to time, but for the ridiculously low price it's offered on the app store, it's a game you shouldn't miss.

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.

Lost Planet 3 fully commits to the story and the right atmosphere to tell it. In that, the game succeeds in the same way major science fiction movies of the past did so. The gameplay that surrounds the story never excels, despite some good ideas and an all-round decent execution. You’ll take it for granted though, because the well-being of main character Jim Peyton soon turns out to be the X-factor Lost Planet 3 needed.

Burial at Sea is potentially the best DLC of the year. Rapture has been beautifully brought to life, which has you reaching for you PrintScreen button multiple times throughout playing. The story is also brilliantly told, but the content has been split in two. This makes it a relatively short experience, and players will have to deal with that until they can get their hands on part 2.

Zack Zero is an uncomplicated action-platformer with lots of variation. The game might come across a slightly formulaic, but that doesn't negate all the fun you'll have completing all of the challenges to save your beloved Marlene.

Despite being a spin-off from a spin-off, Persona 5 Strikers doesn't feel diluted. It retains almost everything that made Persona 5 so good, but it replaces turn-based combat with mindless combat. That's a shame, but otherwise Strikers is an excellent outing.

The Lost Crown is a great metroidvania. Sometimes the difficulty level peaks unexpectedly, which can lead to some frustration due to the linear nature, but usually the strong combat and fast platforming ensure that this is a very fun game.

Sanctum is one of the most innovative tower defense games to date. The player discovers new play styles time and time again through a varied mix of first person shooting and placing towers. The cooperative mode makes the multiplayer last for a long time to boot.

If you haven't played the original games, definitely go for this remaster. The visual update is great and it really makes the environment come to life. The gameplay feels a bit too old-school at some point, but it is awesome to have Crash back.

The singe player experience that Battlefield offers is not worth your time, but the online part is better. Thanks to a few modes that are unique to the series, plus the refined gunplay and small but awesome maps, Hardline is a lot more than just a sop for Battlefield 5.

This might not be a traditional game, it does include a pretty great collection of creative ways to challenge your brain.

Miitopia looks like a rip-off of the Streetpass games, but it offers so much more than that. It is so much fun picking out Mii's to take with you on this crazy adventure, you'd almost forget that the actual fights are not really worth your time.
