    The follow-up to Fat Princess is not competitive, it is an action RPG like Diablo. The smart class system makes the game interesting, but still you will not put hundreds of hours into it.

    King’s Quest is letting us down a little bit in this second episode, as it has less logical puzzles and a shorter story. Thanks to the animations, atmosphere, voice acting and emotional moments it is still one of the best adventures of this moment though.

    If you are new to this franchise, you'd better run away fast or play the first one first. But for the fans of Hatoful Boyfriend this is a nice addition to the original. It might be hard to understand, cause the translations are not top notch.

    On paper running a construction company and handling big vehicles sounds pretty fun, but in this game it is dreadful. There are a lot of technical issues, but even the things that do work are simply not fun. It's boring, uncontrollable, slow and badly written.

    Mini Metro is a minimalistic transport simulator that gets difficult pretty quickly. It is insane how a simple game like this has a hold on us like that, but we are sure the stylish presentation plays a part in that.

    Nuclear Throne works you until you finally climb that throne. The chaotic shooting action and the many many mutations combined with a random build up in levels make sure every experience feels anew.

    Story of Seasons takes a while to get going, but when it does, it is an awesome Harvest Moon-like experience. There is an interesting system in place for dealing with rivals and new ways of farming mixed with classic gameplay make this game worth while.

    SteamWorld Heist is an excellent strategy game. The single player is nice and long, the missions are challenging and there is enough depth to do every mission like you want to. Even if you usually don't like this sort of game, you will probably love this one.

    With a few quick new rides, gameplay types and other possibilities to enjoy cars in a huge open world, Wild Run is a good addition to The Crew. The price is a bit high though.

    Thanks to its focus on speed and tough gameplay, Fast Racing Neo is a love letter to the futuristic racing genre. It might not be as high quality as F-Zero and Wipeout, but it still is a very challenging indiegame with a good price.

    Heroes of Normandie combines elements of turn-based strategy and board games very well. The element of luck plays too big a part on the strategic gameplay, which makes it rather frustrating.

    Even in this remaster, Beyond still offers shallow gameplay and a storyline that simply does not excite us. No matter how you look at it (from a movie or a game perspective), this is a big fail.

    Football Manager 2016 is back with a vengeance, thanks to the good restructuring of existing features. There is not so much new in this game, but it is definitely improved.

    The first episode of Void & Meddler works okay, but on the most important parts it just does not deliver. It seems a somewhat bad introduction to a good season, as it has a lot of interesting characters and a good soundtrack.

    When playing this game in a team it is one of the best online shooters of 2015, even though it has some bugs and not a lot of content. If you'd rather play alone, you might not like Rainbow Six Siege as much.

    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.

    Rock Band 4 is made for two audiences and it succeeds only a little bit. The gameplay is a lot better, but the features are definitely worse. Making this game backwards compatible is a nightmare, but as long as you just play the new stuff, you will have a good time with Rock Band 4.

    Just Cause 3 stands for freedom and fun. Every gameplay element is working towards one and the same goal: doing whatever you feel like. Just Cause 3 is simply a game you must play, it would surprise us if you wouldn't like it.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X is like the dream of a child: big robots, dinosaurs and aliens come together on a planet filled with wild and beautiful locations. It sounds ridiculous, but it works perfectly. Well, may be not perfect, but Xenoblade Chronicles X sure comes close to that.

    This is a Japanese role playing game that you do not see often anymore. The story is epic, the localisation makes characters into persons and everything combined makes this game a must have for JRPG lovers and gamers that appreciate a good story.

    What should have been the big comeback of one of Nintendo's most obscure heroes, is just a dull, uninspiring game that does not fit in with the other end of the year games that are worth your time.

    Vermintide is great when it comes to depth and replay value. The classes bring a good mix and a strong combination with the very well developed melee system. There are few small bugs, but this still is a very solid co-op experience.

    What could I have done differently? Even with the option to rewind time, it is a question you will often ask yourself when playing Life is Strange. A unique story that asks of you to make big decisions, just to blow you away with the consequences.

    Divinity: Original Sin still is a great RPG. We enjoyed the new features such as spoken texts and small tweaks in gameplay. The only thing that was tricky was to control the game with the controller instead of the keyboard and mouse. And that split-screen co-op is still as amazing as it used to be.

    The Old Hunters honors Bloodborne in its deepest form. The uniquely designed, eery worlds offer a great place to enjoy the awesome fighting system. You will never feel safe, but you will often feel satisfied.

    Star Wars Battlefront offers a lot of cool moments, gives you that warm fuzzy Star Wars feeling and is pure perfection when it comes to visuals and sound effects. However, the fact that there is not much depth to it, nor a lot of content, makes Battlefront a smaller game than we were hoping for.

    Galak-Z The Dimensional offers spectacular space fights with a satisfying roguelike experience. It is a pity the roguelike elements disappear more and more into the background when the game continues, and that the environment is the same everywhere, but other than that this is a good space experience.

    The dull antagonist and the annoying protagonist do not help StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Voids story, but Blizzard does show that it knows strategy games. The campaign is diverse, the co-op is highly entertaining and the visuals and sound are terrific.

    Mario Tennis Ultra Smash misses a lot of balls and it hits the rest of them straight into the net. Serve us something better next time, Nintendo.

    Heart of Thorns introduces an innovative progression system that is a lot more satisfying than just adding new 'gear' to collect. The new zones are annoyingly difficult, but that's a good thing for hardcore players.
