Master X Master is a quick, action packed moba that does not truly fulfill its ambitions. The game does offer depth with the tag system along with the many gameplay modes. But the environment, the repetitive PvE and the lack of focus are a disappointment.

Hob is like working on an exotic island during your holiday. Yes, you are responsible for some things, but during puzzles and fights you can thoroughly enjoy nature, architecture and culture of a strange world.

Rome 2 is the product of years of experience and the work of a studio that finally found the perfect harmony between RTS and turn-based. The developers changed certain parts drastically, but created a game that can surprise you at any time and offers a great deal of depth.

"Aion is an extraordinary MMORPG. Both the PvPvE-concept and presentation of the game are fantastic. Story-wise and gameplay-wise the game feels finished. Combined with the hundred hours that it will take to play through the game, Aion: The Tower of Eternity is an unforgettable experience which every MMORPG player should experience.

In the end, The BIGS 2 is just a logical sequel to The BIGS. It complements the game with a variety of modes like Become a Legend and Season. Although both are fun to play, they aren't really fleshed out. Even the addition of minigames and new gameplay-elements can't change that. This doesn't change the fact that, despite some quicktime events, the game plays surprisingly well. Both veteran and novice baseball-players will be surprised about the combination of accessibility and depth.

Duckbridge offers its audience a fun hiphop western. Luck as a game mechanic is new and interesting, but the unfair checkpoint system makes the gamer frustrated. This is too bad, because gamers would rather be having fun.

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!

Ratchet & Clank: Nexus offers (as an epilogue to the Future trilogy) exactly what you'd expect. The same gameplay as in the main parts, with a handful of new weapons and gadgets and on a much smaller scale. A lack of surprises is compensated for with the timeless quality we're used to from the series.

Planet Coaster 2 is a park builder where mostly only your own creativity and imagination are a limit, but sometimes the controls and menu structure also limit you. Swimming pools and slides are a surprisingly successful and well-developed addition. The game has generally been made more accessible for people who do not have the patience or talent to build everything themselves. As a management game, Planet Coaster 2 is still poor.

LEGO Batman The Videogame is the best LEGO till now. The thirty levels are, thanks to the custom made story, more than varied and offer you enough secrets to keep you busy for days. The buildings and surroundings that you see resemble the stuff that you probably built when you were just a little kid. Too bad that Traveller Tales keep making the same mistakes in their LEGO franchise.

Trover Saves the Universe is a bizarre trip through the brain of Justin Roiland, one of the people behind Rick and Morty. Truly bizarre.

With Quest for Booty Insomniac Games shows that downloadable games are turning into a serious gaming-platform. Quest for Booty offers action and gameplay elements that are more than worthy for the platform genre. You even take the minor flaws the game has (no new features whatsoever and -in comparison with Tools of Destruction- limited possibilities) for granted when you see the price.

Reflex is a very decent shooter on the Wii. The multiplayer is especially convincing. Pretty much all things you’ve experienced in the version on other consoles is present here, only the weak controls and bad graphics make the game much less of a classic compared to the original. Still, it’s a little late but the release of this game on the Wii is a reason for owners of Nintendo’s console to be happy.

Fifa 23 will go down in history as the last Fifa, but definitely not the best. The culmination of 30 years of soccer history doesn't lead to a satisfying climax in the franchise, mainly due to modern improvements are held back by a dilapitaded foundation. However, there is no shortage of content but with such a high goal inflation, you could wonder what that's worth anymore.

Mafia: Definitive Edition is enough to bring back fond memories, but won't make newcomers understand the legendary status of the original.

For those who always wanted to escape to an uninhabited island, Miasmata seems like an ideal game. Appearances can be deceiving though. The atmosphere might be very oppressive, but Miasmata also has a lot of shortcomings. The idea of exploring an island, looking for plants that can alleviate your fatal disease, is alluring. It ends up being a monotonous experience muddled by technical issues, that only exceeds in being special for having a unique concept.

Galactrix seems to forget what makes Puzzle Quest such a great game. It emphasizes on things that are irrelevant, while interesting things like building your spaceship and commencing battles are pushed into the background.

This special game succeeds in having players look at games in a different light. Even though this game will only speak to a small audience, this is a unique project that will probably be just as often discussed as The Stanley Parable.

Pokken Tournament is not a bad fighting game, but it is lacking innovations that other games in the genre do have. The modes are just an excuse to endlessly fight the same opponents.

BiA: Hell's Highway is a must buy for any tactical shooter fan and is even fun to play for a 'normal' gamer. The combat is more than intens, the story keeps pulling you back and that typical Dutch atmosphere feels just right. Just be aware of the fact that after the ten our singleplayer experience there isn't much left for you to do. For the rest the game is one hell of a ride.

The DS-version of the return of Mario & Sonic is a great product. The nice story mode, enjoyable gameplay and online options make it a top choice for Nintendo DS-owners. All these aspects make it a better game than the Wii-version.

Even though Syndicate does not struggle with the same issues as Unity, there are a few annoying elements to it. That is frustrating, but they do not 'break' the game. The characters are interesting and the location where this adventure happens is gory and gorgeous at the same time. Syndicate is definitely worth playing.

From a technical standpoint Twisted Metal isn't all that, and you'll be waiting more online than actually playing the game. You'll mostly remember Twisted Metal as a entertaining kart racer. The presentation is quite sinister and the way you dispatch opponents brutal. In short, this is a spring-game that contradicts everything that blossoms, grows and oozes happiness.

Yo-Kai Watch does a good job at presenting the atmosphere of a small, Japanese city, which makes the less hardcore setup of this game less bad. Don't get us wrong, this game motivates you to catch 'em all, while enjoying a pretty cool adventure.

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.

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.

Sonic Generations brings the best of twenty years Sonic together in one game. The result is a very solid platform experience with eye-popping graphics and fluid gameplay.

This is a perfect, crazy game to play thanks to the short fights. The gameplay does offer a depth you would not expect and together with the funny story about sushi this is an excellent title to play on your commute.
