    Godzilla is the perfect ode to an icon from the twentieth century. However, it is not a game that you will play for days in a row. The graphics, the gameplay and the story are all very disappointing.

    Cosmophony is exactly what it promises to be: a darn difficult musical shooter with a good beat. It obviously is not a game for everyone, but the low price takes care of that; it cannot really be a waste of money that way.

    The Director’s Cut makes puzzle game Q.U.B.E. more complete, but also harder. It is too bad the lousy story takes away all the mystery of the original.

    Tembo is especially a most talked about subject because of its developer Game Freak. The makers of the Pokémon games should be able to come up with something fun? Think again, because this elephant does not offer more than standard platform action with a fun cartoon theme.

    Sylvio is very good at one thing: getting under your skin with a fascinating story and the constant threat of fear as sound is a mechanic in this game. Unfortunately other elements distract you in this experience and the game misses finishing touches, which is a pity for a game that finally tries something new in the horror genre.

    The Magic Circle is an unfinished game in which you play a game about a game that is unfinished; a satirical opinion on the games industry and community. The voice acting is spot on, the world is minimalistic but rich and the unique game mechanics and strong story are making you wonder if you are playing the game, or if the game is playing you.

    This game plays safe and gets away with it for the most part. The gigantic scale and endless possibilities make this game a charming one. Unfortunately the interface is sad and the multiplayer is deserted.

    Journey is the best co-op game, most subtle storytelling and the most beautiful virtual piece of art we have seen these last ten years. The PlayStation 4 compliments that. Even though the visual optimization is small, this is a diamond that does not need a lot of cleaning.

    The charisma Kratos shows when expressing his deep feelings of revenge, makes God Of War 3 still a milestone in the action genre. Unfortunately the graphic update cannot hide that this testosterone shot has become a bit weak.

    Many puzzle games fall short when it comes to variation, but Gunpowder blows the competition away. This highly entertaining puzzle game is a bit short, but thanks to the variation and fun levels it will make you quit after the credits, instead of before.

    It does not matter from what side you look at it, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is an engaging, impressive title. The astounding storytelling, beautiful gameworld and intimate atmosphere make this game highly recommendable.

    This is a nice RPG and a bad MMO. The game is playable without subscriptions and it offers a lot of content to explore. Playing together with other gamers still is not really working properly. It is too bad this game does not impress, even though the development system for characters and the PvP are fun.

    Either you really love Formula 1 or you like the fastest type of racing on our planet to love this new official game from Codemasters. F1 2015 is a nice drive and it has a good atmosphere, but it misses depth and a good finish to really impress.

    The most important part about being a samurai in a videogame is to cut hordes of enemies into tiny, bloody little pieces. The fighting system requires you to use your brain and offer a solid foundation but the imperfect controls and small bugs keep this game from being great.

    Playing soccer with cars, why not? Rocket League offers a big load of extreme and chaotic multiplayer experiences, that are really enjoyable when you have some friends over. The singleplayer, however, is too short and offers too little variation.

    LEGO Jurassic World could have been a lazy, bungled game that had just been made to lift on the success of the movie. Thankfully that is not the case. The open world is a mess, but the LEGO-charm makes up for a lot of that.

    The Crimewave Edition offers a lot of content. Together with the familiar intense gameplay, this game is explosive and deep at the same time. Unfortunately the things that annoyed gamers two years ago are still there and that is a real shame.

    Her Story is more than just a very good example of storytelling. The idea is original, the story is fascinating and the performance is strong. Everybody finds his or her own way in this story, and for one person that way might be more beautiful than for others.

    The world of Kholat is magnificent, but the promises of a cool story and memorable gaming experience do not really come true. Using the map and compass are fun, but frustration and boredom are near. Too bad, because especially the Dyatlov Pas-incident is a good subject for a game.

    A fresh surrounding, new characters, great action sequences and room for giving the gamer a good sense of what certain characters are about; this episode is amazing. It is too bad that it has a lot of small issues, especially as we had to wait for it for a long time.

    For the best platform games you still need to go to Nintendo. Yoshi's Woolly World might not be of the same high grade as Super Mario World, but it still is a strong run and jump adventure with an extraordinary cute look and a great co-op mode.

    As a Fallout themed management sim for short playing sessions, Fallout Shelter is a nice game to wait for the Fallout 4-release. However, as soon as you put more time in your vault, you will discover you will have to make contributions to Bethesda's vault first.

    Batman: Arkham Knight is not just the best Batman-game and the best comic book game ever, the game also has one of the most fun open worlds we've ever seen in videogame history. Rocksteady perfected its formula, but did take it a bit too far with the Batmobile.

    Massive Chalice tries to make the concept of Xcom better by letting you form full bloodlines. Too bad the looks and the level design are not the high quality of Xcom.

    This game might be limited, but does feel like a thorough tactical sim. The space fights do not bore, and the campaign is nice and long.

    Ironically enough this prison game convinces with its freedom. Every element is present for a satisfying escape. It does take some patience though.

    Windward puts the controls over the fun with the player, as it is more a framework than a complete video game. Only the multiplayer mode gets Windward going, which means it is not the action-filled multiplayer sandbox game that was promised.

    You Must Build a Boat does not really renew, but it does expand. Puzzling is more fun because there are constant add-ons for your boat that come with little bonuses. Other than that it is pretty similar to its predecessor.

    Heroes of the Storm is the hyperactive little brother of DotA 2. Blizzard has made a fluent and accessible team game. Every match is exciting all throughout the end and we appreciate the Blizzard-nostalgia that comes with it.

    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.
