    This game is a challenging metroidvania. You play in a gorgeous surrounding with an intriguing backstory, which is divided by challenging boss fights. However, the more time you spend, the more boring this game becomes. It is predictable and it lacks having real interesting developments throughout.

    This world is made to challenge the player and make the player feel proud. That works well on this island full of puzzles, which uses riddles to form an interesting story.

    Firewatch uses extremely atmospheric woods to tell a nice story in four hours time. That same forest is keeping you from feeling free though, and the story misses depth. Was this game a bit too ambitious? It certainly seems so.

    Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is a lot more fun than Gates to Infinity. There is not much change, so the randomly generated dungeons are still unimpressive, but the story is nice, the soundtrack is good and those 720 Pokemon to collect are excellent.

    Space Grunts is a well made turn based roguelike. It does not have the depth of The Binding of Isaac or Nuclear Throne, but the difficulty level and speed makes this one of the best indie-plays this weekend.

    For a rally game Sebastien Loeb Rally EVO offers a lot of challenging content, but you never get the chance to fully enjoy it because of the non-fitting visuals and sounds.

    Though this game is obviously better for handhelds than consoles, the atmosphere and original gameplay still rocks on PS4. It does not matter if you are already familiar with this game or not, just play the Remastered version as it is worth your time.

    The promise of an island full of challenging puzzles makes the Witness feel a bit inauthentic. That is not a problem, as this world is created to make the player feel proud. Always keep learning is the slogan for this game because if you are not willing to understand the puzzle methods, you will not enjoy this game very much.

    XCOM 2 is very much the same game as the first, but that is good news as XCOM is a modern classic. Firaxis has not been lazy though: the enemies are new and the threat is bigger than ever before. The classes have become a lot tougher and the campaign plays with the concept of being switched between humans and aliens.

    Resident Evil 0 has aged a lot worse than Resident Evil 1. Zapping between characters is too gimmicky and the character Rebecca is so badly written, it is almost as if the developers have never spoken to a woman before.

    Final Fantasy Explorers plays like an MMORPG that fits your pocket. It offers a lot of freedom in building your own character, and you will have months of fun on 3DS with Final Fantasy Explorers.

    An old-school, enticing ghost story, that is indie game Oxenfree in a nutshell. As a player there is not a lot to do besides walking around and having conversations, but the choices you make will influence how this creepy story ends.

    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.

    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.

    Trails of Cold Steel is an excellent mix of Suikodens political business, Persona's Social Link-system and the daily fun of Grandia, while still being a Trails-game. This is definitely one to recommend to any JRPG-fan you might know.

    The Chronicles series has the same issue as the bigger Assassin's Creed games: it is too much of the same thing. ACC: India is like ACC: China with a different surrounding. It's not bad, but it is boring.

    The illustrations by J.J. Grandville make Aviary Attorney a unique game, especially as it is supported by the music of Camille Saint-Saens. Is it perfect? Not really, cause the game is way too short, simple and easy.

    Amplitude is - thanks to its rhythmic and quick gameplay - just as awesome as it used to be, but the weak and monotonous soundtrack is a let-down.

    Annoy yourself with this game. The concept is better than the gameplay, but that's okay. It is awesome to go on an adventure in this misleading indie title. Totally worth your time.

    The combination between word puzzle and platformer makes Typoman very unique and entertaining. Unfortunately the controls are not comfortable and the logic of the puzzles is a bit lost at the end of the game, which makes Typoman a little too frustrating to enjoy.

    Dragon's Dogma on PC takes away a few graphical frustrations we had on the console. The improvements the game got in Dark Arisen are still in there, which makes this one of the best and one of the most difficult niche RPG's on the market.

    Euro Fishing has potential, but it should not be called a simulation game. Real fishers will see right away that this game has a lot of flaws, even though it may look very good.

    Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- is only meant for the most fanatic players of fighting games; gamers that are practicing year after year hoping to compete at EVO. Though Sign is looking better thanks to the new engine, it offers a lot less characters than its predecessors.

    Subterfuge will make you check your phone like some addict. Tactical, real-time combat and diplomatic negotiations with fellow players come together to take over your life.

    At first Rogue State feels like anything is possible, but soon you will see that there are limits to that freedom. It is simply not layered enough to be really interesting, but we do appreciate Rogue State for trying.

    Planetbase starts off cool, as there are only few sim-builders that kill your characters after you have failed an assignment. It is too bad this game fades out after half an hour, because this really could have been something rather different and awesome.

    Calling Undertale a strange game would be wrong. The story is bizarre, the characters are fun and the scenes are funny. Plus, this RPG can be very surprising. The problem Undertale is struggling with is that you do not really have the power to influence the story at all and there are a lot of long fights you have to get through to see everything this game has to offer.

    This game is somewhat shallow in fights, but it does give that Dungeons & Dragons feel that we love. This offers a unique behind-the-scenes into the biggest analog role playing game in the world.

    Baseball Riot is a fun little puzzle game that is nice for a while. After that, it gets so repetitive and frustrating, that it just does not do it for us.

    With Dirt Rally Codemasters shows why it focuses on racing games. The rally feeling from Colin McRae Rally is back, and might be even better. If this is the way Dirt Rally is headed, this game has a bright future ahead.
