    Biomutant is erratic in design. The mission design is too traditional and the game relies on a messy story with bad dialogue and meaningless characters, while the action and some RPG systems are better than those of peers.

    Unsolved Crimes is a game that makes a brave attempt to give the gamer the feeling that he's actually a detective that's investigating a homicide. The first couple of levels are nice, but after a while the game keeps repeating itself. Maybe if you're a gamer with great stamina or a secret desire for repetitive games you will have some fun playing this game.

    Wheelman is best described as a B-movie. Bad production values and a lousy script. However, the funny one-liners, bad dialog and over-the-top action make up for lost ground. Wheelman is by far a good game, but still a very enjoyable one.

    Tale of Tales is famous for their art meets games projects and those are not always as accessible. Sunset changes that, because you can pick it up easy. It offers a solid, clear story, without losing its power.

    Developer 2K Marin has put everything into creating the best tactical fights possible. Because of this the third person alien shooter is at its best when taking on enemies in combat. Unfortunately everything else is less refined, but despite this The Bureau is still a great addition to the series.

    The Crystal Bearers is a strange mix of minigames and a big adventure in a colorful fantasy world. The formula has potential and at certain points that potential actually comes to fruition, but it doesn’t happen often enough to make The Crystal Bearers anything special.

    Rise of Venice excels because of the complex and enticing economic system, but forgets to build something good around that. This makes it hard to actually enjoy the game.

    The Way of the Hado minigame is awful and the two new characters are a let-down. But, Street Fighter 2 is a classic and it fits the philosophy behind Switch perfectly.

    Studio Milestone has specifically aimed for the motor experience and the assortment of motors. Ride offers enough content for motorfans to enjoy, but any other element that can make or break a racing game seems not that thought through.

    Hidden Agenda is great if you want to have a special 'movie night' with friends, filled with discussions about what the next step should be.

    Super Meat Boy Forever is dated. It has not stood the test of time and offers less than its predecessor in every aspect. An autorunner offers so much less control and the bosses seem annoying rather than fun.

    Monsters vs Aliens turned out to be a decent movie game. As always with movie games the looks are more than fine, but the game lacks challenge and often repeats itself. The nicely formed locations are a lust for the eye and you will probably have a laugh while watching the movie scenes. Too bad that the co-op mode is a total miss.

    Park Beyond really knows how to add something to the genre with its original attractions, without going completely crazy. The foundation is also surprisingly solid, with intuitive mechanics to manage your park's finances and human resources. But due to the lack of diversity in attractions, the poor control when placing objects and a handful of bugs, the full potential is not yet fully realized.

    The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return are almost the same as the older games. The only difference is the Wiimote. The game is fun for about an hour. After that we expect you will quickly find yourself a new game to enjoy. If you are able to live with that, it is worth the try.

    Last Inua combines the atmospheric images with an interesting story. The platform action doesn't work as well because the levels are simple and repetitive, despite its ambitious game elements.

    Universe at War: Earth Assault is a bad game, just as simple as that. The controls work, but the framerate and camera ruin the party. So again we keep waiting for a good strategy game on the console.

    Fuel is a race game with two faces. On one hand you've got a huge and open world in which the impressive weather effects and the sheer size alone are a new milestone in it's genre. But on the other hand the game feels a little lost and lacks decent gameplay mechanics. In the end the flaws take the upper hand and giving us the feeling that Fuel could have been so much more.

    The first and last dlc for Kingdom Hearts 3 is just repetition with a lack of answers. The boss fights are challenging and worthwhile, but this package does not offer enough content for its expensive price.

    Nail'd does a great job in giving you the feeling of speed and height. The game doesn't make it challenging enough to keep you coming back for more though. These days, even an arcade racer needs more than just the thrill of speed.

    The confusing plot, unsympathetic main characters and the continuously ticking doomsday clock make Lightning Returns an unpleasant experience that's saved by its fun battle system and a pretty world to explore. Lightning Returns is Final Fantasy without the fun, feeling of wonder or the emotional wealth that made the series great.

    Just like a new season of The Walking Dead, State of Decay 2 is just more of the same thing. Survival is exciting and makes you use your brain, but technically speaking State of Decay 2 is so bad, lots of fun gets lost.

    It's unlucky that Nintendo already achieved the same results with Wii Sports Bowling. High Velocity Bowling is mainly the same. Throwing a ball with the Playstation controller simply isn't as smooth as the Wiimote. It's not that the game is unplayable. You just have to get used to the controls.

    The Novelist is mostly a missed opportunity. It combines stealth and adventure in the midst of adult dilemma's, but never do its fresh ideas turn The Novelist into an exciting or emotional whole.

    With a new face and tone, Battletoads manages to reinvent itself a little bit. It produces a beat 'em up that makes all kinds of forays into other genres with a sense of humor. Just like the jokes in the story, that is not always successful. The Battletoads shine as animated stars, but the lack of co-op, the very simple gameplay, and the sometimes very stretched areas do not make them look that great as video game heroes.

    Diluvion is a beautiful game to look at, but exploring can get a bit dull after a while. The camera is not really great, the controls aren't either, but the combat system works well.

    Rain World will beat you up. The progression system is extremely frustrating, which is a pity as this game had the potential of becoming one of the most intriguing survival games of the year.

    This vr-tank-shooter offers a few hours of fun in co-op, but the difficulty level might be too frustrating for solo players. Compliments for the amazing design, that fits the VR scene very well.

    Wolfenstein 3D gave birth to the first person shooter genre, but failed to deliver a great game. The remake offers, at most, a little hint of nostalgia and some form of history lessons, but can't hide the fact that the game nowadays isn't fun enough to actually pay for it. And besides that, there are plenty of good alternatives.

    The second episode of this detective game does not keep up the suspense and level of the first episode. The plot does not really unfold and just when it becomes interesting, the episode comes to an end. There is a lot of potential here, but From The Ashes does not add to the story at all.

    Visually speaking the game is not very impressive either.
