    Boxboy is the ideal game for breaks. The simple design, short levels and learning curve are great. It is addictive, fun and very easy to play when waiting on the bus, so a good game to release on 3DS.

    War for the Overworld was supposed to be the new Dungeon Keeper. They were on the right track, but the game that is available for download now is definitely not right; lots of bugs, crashes, bad AI, and many missing features make this game impossible to recommend.

    Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is way more than just a re-release. The content is surprising and it has changed a lot, may be a bit too much. But this release offers a great opportunity to experience Dark Souls 2 once more on current-gen consoles.

    Etherium is a solid science-fiction RTS. It does not bring a lot of new things to the table, but it still is very entertaining. The tutorial is a bit short, we miss depth in this game and the design is not always as smooth as we would have liked. But, this games holds our attention for way longer than we would have expected. Etherium is highly addictive because of its high difficulty level and strategy elements.

    Axiom Verge looks like a NES-game on steroids, but it is way more than that. Axiom Verge is one of the best games in its genre, thanks to its unique old-school style and tons of secrets to discover.

    This collection makes you want to start a new game plus again, even after one hundred hours in the game. There is so much content. The things we did not like about Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel in the first place, are still there unfortunately, like getting lost.

    This feels like a B-game. This Resident Evil feels cheap because of the recycling of animations, enemies and locations throughout the four episodes. The coop-experience however, is pretty nice because of the combination of different characters. We also love the way Resi is becoming a bit more creepy again.

    The promises Obsidian made definitely came true. Pillars of Eternity is the ultimate ode to RPG classics like Baldur's Gate, but it does have its own unique style to bring to the table.

    The second episode of the Borderlands-series from Telltales is more about the characters and their relationships. The somewhat more peaceful gaming experience is a nice change. However, the game could have used a better finish. The pilot was better than this one, but the unique storytelling makes us long for more.

    With a nearly perfect combination of level design, gameplay, storytelling and a challenging experience, studio From Software delivers a package deal. This game might not be successful for Souls-fans due to its scale and limited gameplay options.

    If you have not yet played Xenoblade Chronicles, this is your chance. This excellent adventure, with its huge game world, compelling story and balanced fighting system, is magical, even though the screen of the 3DS is a small one.

    The singe player experience that Battlefield offers is not worth your time, but the online part is better. Thanks to a few modes that are unique to the series, plus the refined gunplay and small but awesome maps, Hardline is a lot more than just a sop for Battlefield 5.

    Cities: Skylines is a great citybuilder that makes us forget SimCity, even though it hurts a little. It is big and beautiful, plus we love the controls, but it does come with some annoying bugs.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 takes the best from traditional Final Fantasy games and adds risky innovations. The result is a deep title that is really hard to put down. Not that it's perfect because it's really hard to love all that beautiful content under its ugly presentation.

    Although this is not a bad game, Starships feels like a simple version of Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations. It is fun to upgrade ships and fleet, but this is not an epic experience due to its small nature.

    Our thumbs still hurt from the original, but Olliolli2 makes us just as addicted as the first. More content, more tricks and higher scores; this really is the perfect sequel.

    Visually speaking the game is not very impressive either.

    Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a nice twist to the conventional JRPG by adding base building. The artistic beauty is enjoyable but the pacing disturbs the streamlined gameplay by making up random dungeons.

    This easy to learn puzzle game puts smart little puzzles in a peaceful and cute visual style. It is a pity the game is short and neither the gameplay nor surroundings evolve, which is why this game feels more like a mobile title than one for PC.

    Hotline Miami 2 offers the same bloody action puzzles as the original and is a thrill to play. Everything that is different from its predecessor is quite the opposite, they just don't work.

    If you are searching for an accessibly stylish and entertaining hack 'n slash, DmC: Devil May Cry is still that great game it used to be, but visually much more attractive. If you are familiar with the game, this re-release still offers great things like a changeable difficulty setting to make your experience an unforgettable one.

    Ori and the Blind Forest underlines that shape and content should not always be seen separately. The visual style plays its own part in how the story unfolds, the gameplay evolves and the level design challenges. Unfortunately this game asks for a platform precision that is nearly unreachable.

    Outdated graphics, exploding heads and nazi zombies; this co-op zombie shooter is a straightforward game without any distractions. One sniper and three friends equal shallow entertainment in this game.

    XenoVerse gets the MMORPG treatment on next-gen consoles. You can customize your own character and even the plot has changed. And that change is not always for the better: the new features are not developed properly, which makes Xenoverse first and foremost a fighting game like others.

    Sunless Sea is a narrative masterpiece that is inspired by gothic literature. With minimal sources this game shapes a bizarre world with a great feel of atmosphere and detail. Too bad this game often is a tad slow.

    The Valley of the Yetis is not high class DLC that adds to the original at all fronts, but it does offer a beautiful, new environment in which you can discover adventures and explosions.

    With a different type of animal as the key role, Shelter 2 is radically different from its predecessor. This makes the game unique, but it does not leave the same deep impression as the first Shelter. That being said, this interactive nature documentary is special on its own.

    Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars! is again a Lemmings - like game from Nintendo, but it adds cross-buy, a level editor and online functionalities. The solid puzzle game franchise is a bit more modern that way, but the additions are not really inventive.

    The Homeworld games are lonely at the top when it comes to strategy games and even after ten years, the quality of Relic Entertainments early work is in an excellent state. The remaster by Gearbox Software is very welcome. The surroundings makes our mouths water, but the bugs make us cringe.

    Helldivers is a typical co-op twin stick-shooter. The multiplayer is challenging and makes up for the inconsistent pacing, the boring surroundings and repetitive missions. On your own, Helldivers is a very frustrating experience with big ambitions but too little depth of content.
