    Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a co-op game. It is easy but nice to play, and the trivial story makes it a great game for anyone. The difficulty in this game is not challenging, which means that getting better armor does not really change a lot. Easy is easy.

    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.

    The simple but challenging gameplay is just as strong as it was in its predecessors, but a few new features are just wrong. The camera is too much, the framerate is unstable and that makes Runner3 a lot less amazing than it could have been.

    This game offers entertaining battles that will make you work for it: hard. But at the same time it tries to be accessible, which seems to disturb the balance.

    With the start of this new Destiny season, almost the entire game has been redesigned. That results in the most promising Destiny in years. Shadowkeep is primarily a content injection. Unfortunately, that content leans a little too much on recognizable Destiny missions and enemies.

    No matter if you only watch the blockbusters or actually collect every Marvel comic out there: this game is fun for everyone. There is a funny story, a great variety in super heroes and amazing co-op gameplay.

    Virtua Tennis 2009 is an excellent tennis game that offers the same modes and gameplay as the other versions, but the implementation of Wii Motion Plus could be much better.

    Bright samba-colors, an enthused audience and Van Persie holding up the cup; along with the patched up gameplay it makes 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil the ideal platform for every WC-dream.

    Atomic Heart is a lot like Bioshock. Despite the unique look, however, the empty, open game world of Atomic Heart ensures that the game is not on the same level. Keep in mind some frustrations and sometimes poor controls, but behind that is a nice, well-shooting puzzle game.

    If originality were the bar through which we grade games, Hybrid would've scored a lot higher, because this third-person shooter contains some good ideas. The ideas are unfortunately killed by big mistakes, which show that the developer isn't comfortable with the shooter genre.

    Dead Island 2 feels hopelessly dated and simplistic. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun.

    This tough city builder takes you and your capital delightfully serious, but thinking logically and rationally. Once you figure out the system, the game unfortunately loses its challenge though.

    A Story About My Uncle is a first-person platformer with some good ideas and beautiful environments. The indie game uses a Portal-/BioShock Infinite-like layout and seems to become a fantastic experience, but then suddenly is out of levels. Because of the strongly varying difficulty and a story focuses on kids, we wonder what age the game is actually meant for.

    It is great to finally be able to go to work with our Sims, but that is only valid for three active careers. The option to have your own store is way more fun that those careers. But we cannot escape the feeling that this expansion should have been in The Sims 4 from the start.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is not a brilliant game, but that is okay. The game offers entertainment for everyone, because there are so many Marvel heroes to choose from.

    Always Sometimes Monsters is an intellectual RPG-like variant in the Choose Your Own Adventure genre. Unfortunately, the game is not as clever as it wants to be. The ethical choices seem to have a big impact, but afterwards you find out you have only chosen from a limited number of flavors. Moreover, the annoying RPG Maker engine causes the real potential of the game to be absent.

    The Surge obviously got its inspiration from other games in the genre, but when it comes to world building and level design the German Deck 13 simply does not impress.

    My Time at Portia is a very big RPG which is filled with a great variety in missions and activities. It is unique and upbeat, though some gameplay is a bit shallow and sometimes things take a bit too long.

    Assetto Corsa does not have a lot of tracks nor cars, does not have a good campaign and the multiplayer mode is average. But, it also offers very impressive physics for a console race game.

    Making a shooter for the DS: it’s not an easy task. Mobilized is a fairly enjoyable go at the genre on the handheld that impresses technically. Even the controls work. Still, it begs the question: who wants to play this game on the DS if you can play it on a big screen at home?

    A lack of modes and content makes Killer Instinct mostly a glorified demo. The promised extra content could change this, but that Killer Instinct turns out to be a boring fighting game is harder to fix.

    The flying and shooting works wonderfully well in Iron Man VR, but the repetitive battles against the same drone enemies over and over again quickly bore us.

    This games feels like it's Frankenstein. The developer put the fights from other games on top of the rough rpg-systems, without contemplating if that would be a good fit. You must really love Dragon Ball Z to enjoy this.

    Rage 2 offers a pretty standard open world, but adds formidable shooting action, an awesome upgrade system and entertaining extra skills to it. It's fun to be a super-soldier, though not as exorbitant as we hoped it would be.

    Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl does little new, but therefore also little wrong. The atmospheric remakes offer a faithful Pokémon experience with some subtle (and less subtle) changes to the formula. You should not expect more from it.

    Soulstorm is a good addition which expands the lifetime of Dawn of War. The expansion is standalone and still all races are playable in single player. This makes the game very attractive for players who haven't gotten the original game. When it comes to graphics and gameplay, not many things have changed. But the huge possibilities in skirmish and multiplayer compensate for it.

    Draugen is a lovely walking sim about a mystery in a small Norwegian village. It has a cool atmosphere, though the story is too much about the twists that are just a bit too predictable.

    In The Flame in the Flood you have to deal with a long, tempestuous river. Whenever possible, you check out islands for food or drinks. As survival game The Flame in the Flood is very impressive, but after six hours you will probably have experienced all there is to this game.

    Blues and Bullets is ambitious, but messy. The design is interesting and the setting promising, but the story is based on too many cliches and unimpressive dialogues. A Crowd of Monsters have shown what it is capable of, without really persuading gamers into loving Blues and Bullets.

    This game is meant to be played with three other people. With two or on your own, it is a boring affair. With 1800 different questions and a bunch of moviescenes, you can definitely have fun for a few nights, especially if you and your friends are movie-lovers. If you're not that much at home with the cinema, this game isn't meant for you.
