    TERA
    The world of Tera is one that most gamers have seen a lot: monsters, heroes with a lot of equipment and heroines with huge, erm… skills. It's hard to blame people for leaving Tera for what it is after having taken a quick glance at it. But that would be a shame because Tera has a few refreshing game mechanics. The real-time battles are about skill instead of statistics and many different monsters make every fight exhilarating. It's too bad though that it has a terribly boring questing system.

    Darkest Dungeon
    Darkest Dungeon has a strong beginning with a creepy atmosphere and challenging boss fights. However, the threat disappears after a while and the game gets monotone. Even so, this game is still a very entertaining rogue-like that is worth your time.

    Good Job!
    Any task in Good Job! is guaranteed to get out of hand and that is so much fun. Completing your task despite your own clumsiness and a completely ruined office is accompanied by a surprising amount of variety and original puzzles in this game.

    Lollipop Chainsaw
    Lollipop Chainsaw is the ideal antidote for the dime in a dozen action games of today, with an obscure story, weird characters and tons of funny references to games, music, movies and television. Sometimes it gets a bit too preposterous though, and the basic gameplay feels slightly rigid.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
    The campaign may be a little short and rough around the edges, but it still is a great adventure that should not be missed by the fans and should be given a try by people unknown with the Warhammer universe.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Punch Club
    It would have been so easy to make Punch Club a freemium game, but the developer didn't and that is good. Punch Club is a simulation game that sometimes reaches the level of Theme Hospital, which is very admirable.

    XCOM 2: War of the Chosen
    Adding three new factions, heroes, enemies and a few fresh gameplay mechanics makes War of the Chosen feel like a new, even more difficult campaign. However, the story stays the same.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
    The campaign may be a little short and rough around the edges, but it still is a great adventure that should not be missed by the fans and should be given a try by people unknown with the Warhammer universe.

    Black Knight Sword
    Anyone up for a Suda 51 game? If so, step right up and play some Black Knight Sword, which will surely challenge you, envelope you in a dark fairy tale-atmosphere and present you with a lot of weird situations. Don't expect a reinvented wheel and you'll most definitely have a good time.

    LocoRoco
    LocoRoco Remastered is the same great 2006 game, but in a higher resolution. As the game was pretty perfect back then, it still is, but there have been so many great platformers lately, it's hard to LocoRoco to really stand out.

    Republique: Episode 2 - Metamorphosis
    The stealth gameplay has been improved in certain spots, but backtracking and obvious puzzles keep Episode 2 from greatness. A step ahead, but no metamorphosis.

    Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2
    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a great addition to the franchise. It is way more spectacular and it feels like a richer experience than the first one.

    Stellaris: Console Edition
    If you want to play grand strategy on a console, Stellaris is a deep game you can play over and over again. Be warned though: this amazing game will stalk you with small text and a very slow pace.

    Steelrising
    Steelrising is a historical adventure filled with fast-paced action, challenging gameplay, alchemical mysteries and more Franco-British dialogue than you might expect. Although the game world feels rather empty and the side missions are quite monotonous, it is great to rewrite the history surrounding the French Revolution with mechanical killing machine Aegis.

    DiRT Showdown
    This Dirt spin-off focuses on fast races, ramming into other cars and performing stunts, without any fuss. The execution leaves something to be desired when it comes to presentation and gameplay, but at least you'll be treated to a large dose of adrenaline.

    Star Fox 64 3D
    Despite the lack of online multiplayer, Star Fox 64 3D is almost as captivating as the original fourteen years back. The short lifespan of the game is somewhat compensated by the local multiplayer.

    Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
    This game offers the same feel as the genius games of Relic Software, thanks to an amazing visual style and excellent audio. However, the controls, simple AI and framerate problems make this game pretty tough to thoroughly enjoy.

    Brawlout
    It is easy to call Brawlout a Super Smash Bros.-clone. It is, but this game choses competition over party and if you are ready to do a lot of grinding, you will thoroughly enjoy this game.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dragonborn
    Whoever spent dozens, or even hundreds of hours playing Skyrim, and still wants more, Dragonborn offers a great solution. A new area offers about fifteen hours of great entertainment of the same high quality we're used to from the original game. A lack of new elements and a few disappointing moments do bring it down a notch.

    New Little King's Story
    New Little King's Story is, just like its predecessor on the Wii, a lot of light entertainment in a huggable coat. But don't let its appearance fool you. Once you get into building your kingdom, playing it will be hard to resist. It's the ultimate proof that the fresh ideas and concepts work. All the more unfortunate that technical issues affect this otherwise great game.

    The Detail
    This dark point-and-click-adventure is too short, but it amazingly drags you into the story about crime in a Gotham-like city. Great animation style plus an interesting soundtrack.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
    There is not much to complain about because Skyrim still is an amazing game. The fact that you can carry it anywhere, makes this version pretty intimate.

    Robo Recall
    This game feels like a game from an alternative reality. It's a 90s light gun shooter in virtual reality. The basic game is short, but the action is intense and very much worth playing over and over again.

    Orcs Must Die! 2
    The tower defense-game Orcs Must Die! 2 isn't that different from its predecessor, but it does have the cooperative mode we longed for. Additions like more enemies, extra weapons and a new game-mode make it better and more balanced than the original. The multiplayer just completes the picture. This sequel feels more like an expansion than a completely new installment though, but the low price makes up for that.

    Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns
    Trio of Towns offers many elements from earlier titles and improved them. The strongest improvement is the many villages with different traditions.

    RymdResa
    RymdResa is a special roguelike in which you are humanity's last hope. You might not like the repetitiveness of the game, but they can bring you in a melancholic trance in which poetry is the higher power. Its minimalism is elegant, the storytelling is interesting and the surreal space experience makes RymdResa a moving piece of art.

    Homeworld Remastered Collection
    The Homeworld games are lonely at the top when it comes to strategy games and even after ten years, the quality of Relic Entertainments early work is in an excellent state. The remaster by Gearbox Software is very welcome. The surroundings makes our mouths water, but the bugs make us cringe.

    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle
    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle is a remarkable game. Not because of its generic combat system, but because of the noticeable passion developer CyberConnect 2 has for the manga in which the game is based. It's a must-have for any JoJo fan; any layman who's interested should start reading the manga before playing the game.

    Blasphemous 2
    Blasphemous 2 plays much better than its predecessor in many ways. The focus is more on dexterity and exploring the game world with your newly discovered skills. The lack of friction may have lost the soul a bit, but in return you get a wonderfully varied metroidvania that you can explore to your heart's content.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
    Tri Force Heroes offers some fun new features, but gameplay-wise it is simply not dynamic and refined enough. This game definitely does not feel like a full-on Zelda game, but more a fun spin-off.
