Volume offers a big and mixed assortment of puzzles that are often very challenging. The visual style is amazing, the story about Locksley is interesting and the puzzles are fun. Volume frustrates but is very convincing too.

Sometimes more of the same is not so crazy. Patapon 2 Remastered does not do much new compared to its predecessor, but continues the same nice tone and lets us drum cries and death marches out of our controller for hours.

King’s Quest is letting us down a little bit in this second episode, as it has less logical puzzles and a shorter story. Thanks to the animations, atmosphere, voice acting and emotional moments it is still one of the best adventures of this moment though.

Xcom: Chimera Squad feels like a "my first XCom" in a way, where some important choices have been removed and you have to make do with characters the creators came up with. Invading spaces with your team combines chaos with choices, but takes away a lot of control.

The follow-up to Fat Princess is not competitive, it is an action RPG like Diablo. The smart class system makes the game interesting, but still you will not put hundreds of hours into it.

No More Heroes 3 mainly focuses on hack 'n slash gameplay and numerous side activities, and less on an in-depth narrative. Along the way, the game regularly plays with your expectations in a distinctive way and often makes you smile.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is the ideal game to play with two players. Your space ship has a unique way of controlling it in which you have to do everything at once, but it works like a charm. Everyone has its own tasks, but it is just as important to function as a team.

War, the Game is as simple as the title suggests it is: a virtual imagination of RISK. Yet, anyone who looks beyond the simple presentation and rules can see a strategy game in its purest form. Tactics are everything, and if you lose you only have yourself to blame.

On a technical level, Deadly Premonition 2 can be criticized for lots of things, but it would be a shame to rely on the game for that. Technical imperfections matter little if a game is so fascinating that it's hard to put it down. Deadly Premonition 2 you play for the bizarre plot lines, eccentric characters and obscure references to pop culture. They provide such a fantastic and quirky experience that we can forgive this second part for its shortcomings.

Another Crab's Treasure wears its heart on its sleeve. The makers clearly love Fromsoftware and are happy to share that love with the whole world. Thanks to extensive accessibility options and a wonderfully colorful game world, everyone can enjoy it without any worries, until we all disappear below sea level.

The one solves puzzles, the other crimes. One is a civilized British gentleman, the other a somewhat dumb attorney. Both love pointing, getting proven right and justice. Not an obvious match, but a fun one.

Kings Can Fly is a fun, challenging puzzle game with enough variation and new ideas to keep you engaged for at least over an hour.

Connect to your inner trucker with Euro Truck Simulator 2, a simulation game that offers quiet moments as well as a challenge, and mostly just does a lot very well. Detailed environments, (delightful) long distances to drive and the building of your own trucking-empire are but a few facets of this surprising game.

As flamboyant, futuristic yet retro arcade racer, Xenon Racer offers great drifting fun just like the old PlayStation game. The game does look a little bit too rough to really pay the full price though.

A game like Season: A Letter to the Future does not come along often. While the game is certainly not perfect, this unique view of the function of memory is definitely to be recommended to anyone looking for a calm game to lose themselves in.

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.

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

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.

Star Command doesn't offer exploration through space or missions on exotic planets, but does provide you with rough confrontations with aggressive space ants, burning hallways, screaming crew members and a tantalizing story. The gameplay often doesn't surpass the manically tapping of pixilated characters on a burning ship and strangely enough that's enough to make you feel like a captain. Engage!

The Journey Down is so heavily inspired by the LucasArts-adventures of fifteen years ago, that you'd almost call it plagiarism. But that's good news, because dear old uncle George doesn't make them anymore. Unfortunately, just the first chapter is available. And by the time the world and story manage to grab you, it's over.

Natural Selection 2 is a mix between StarCraft and the multiplayer of Alien versus Predator. This real-time strategy shooter works excellently, but does require teamwork and a social leader. Both aren't guaranteed when playing online, which makes the game either very exciting or totally one-sided. This sequel just doesn't feel like a complete, modern game.

Five Card Quest is one of the slowest games we have played this year, but that does not mean it is boring. You have to think about every detail and that makes fights exciting.

Quotation forthcoming.

​​Disney Infinity 2.0 offers the same gameplay as the first one, but with a few fun tweaks like flying and the skill tree. It's not perfect. The figurines stand for an expensive experience and the starter kit offers a very short Play Set.

Trials of Mana thrives in traditions. The action-packed gameplay remains cool and versatile, but the structure mainly shows the (technical) limitations in game design of the 90s.

Hyrule Warriors Legends is like a remake of a GOTY edition. It has good additions when it comes to content and gameplay mechanics, but technically speaking Legends is a little disappointing.

At its core, Shootmania Storm is a competitive multiplayer shooter, but differs from its competitors via subtle twists. Outside of its gameplay it leaves many opportunities out cold though. The maps are boring, menu's unclear and the arsenal of weapons generic. Fortunately it leans on its followers and user generated content, which will hopefully fill these gaps.

Though Agents of Mayhem has a slow start, the game gets very entertaining along the way, thanks to the non stop action, variation in characters and controls. The story and the jokes are pretty lame though.
