    Other games in the WWE-series are especially known for their big number of possibilities, but WWE 2K15 does exactly the opposite. Unfortunately the modes in this game are not of good quality nor quantity. The gameplay has been improved since the last game, but it cannot prevent this game for being a disappointment.

    The lineair setup makes Lego Batman 3 feel like a step backwards, as we played around in a big open world in part 2 and in Lego Marvel Super Heroes. But still the humor and love for the comic history behind it, makes this a very charming game. The quality is high and there are a lot of items to collect.

    The biggest fault you can make in Elite: Dangerous is waiting till the game lends you a hand. That is not gonna happen, as this is a sim in which you decide your own fate. So, how you experience this game is totally up to you. This freedom and the fantastic flight model makes the milky way your playground. Lovely.

    We do not know a lot of fighting games that are so heavy on exciting sword battles like Nidhogg. The mechanics are very easy to learn, but yet hard to master and the colorful simplistic style fits the game perfectly.

    Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a co-op game. It is easy but nice to play, and the trivial story makes it a great game for anyone. The difficulty in this game is not challenging, which means that getting better armor does not really change a lot. Easy is easy.

    Persona Q is a great mix between Persona and Etrian Odyssey. The gameplay mechanics from both franchises are complementing each other and offers us a great dungeon-crawler. The interaction between characters is great for people that played other games in these series, but newcomers will find it difficult to really get this game.

    When you first look at it, Geometry Wars seems not very unique. It is a classical twin-stick shooter, but as soon as you are in control, the chaos seems organized and the pulsating music guide you in the right direction. We are, once again, in a trance.

    The first episode of Tales from the Borderlands offers us a typical Telltale experience. We do not love all new gameplay mechanics, but the new setting, intriguing characters and humor make up for it. This is a good start.

    There are many reasons why The Crew should get an F: steering the cars is iffy, the story is horrendous, the multiplayer options are weak and visually speaking the game is simply average. That being said, if you are a roadtripper, the gorgeously designed, huge gameworld makes up for that.

    Proun+ is that type of game that you play, then quit and start playing again one minute later. And again, and again.. Is is very satisfying to manouvre yourself through abstract race levels that throw a postmodern colorsplash on you. Mondriaan would be proud.

    Vainglory proofs that a MOBA belongs on a mobile platform as well as on PC. The game offers a very well designed environment with a solid multiplayer experience. It is a pity there is not a lot of characters in this game. But we do like the fact that it is very suitable for newbies.

    Ultimate NES Remix for 3DS takes sixteen NES classics and sends you on missions that are full of self-mockery. Everytime it is challenging to beat the high scores. An awesome game for on the go, but we cannot understand why this 3DS game offers less content than it's big brother on Wii U.

    Ardennes Assault is not a cheap expansion, but it dares to do things a bit different. In a good way, because the new structure fits the Company of Heroes franchise and shows that Company of Heroes 2 is on of the best RTS games at this moment.

    The Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. definitely is the most rich one. This fighter offers an awesome package for both newbies and veterans. Fights with up to eight people in one arena make for a great party. We would have liked to see the new features a little more refined.

    Even though this game does not offer challenging puzzles, A Golden Wake offers a unique look on a setting that has never been set before. The story and the historical characters make this with jazz infested point-and-click adventure pretty interesting anyway.

    The strong plot of this third episode in the Republique series creates more room for emotional side stories. It poses relevant questions about the role of the gamer itself. The stealthy gameplay is not new, but it is easy and most of all: what you do does not have a lot of consequences, which sometimes sells the intriguing story short.

    Never Alone offers a good insight in the position of folklore within the Iñupiat community, that lives in parts of Alaska. As a puzzle platformer it made an impression by using blizzards and melting ice platforms as part of the gameplay. The AI and puzzles are a bit less impressive.

    LittleBigPlanet 3 is the best and worst LittleBigPlanet until now. Bugs and other technical issues keep on annoying us during our play through. It is a pity, because the single-player experience is really convincing and the creative possibilities seem endless.

    This War of Mine conveys the horrors that occur when trying to survive war time. Not through story, but through gameplay which is done perfectly. It is a heavy game that touches upon subjects that are usually kept quiet. It's too bad that the roguelike element of having to start over again and again in this game, stands in the way of really leaving a mark.

    Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are top notch remakes. The DexNav-application for the Pokédex makes catching Pokémon more dynamic and more worth while; the Hoenn-region is an awesome place for an adventure.

    We are glad Ubisoft took the risk of making an Assassin's Creed in which you play the villain instead of the hero. The game might run on old techniques and mechanics, it feels surprisingly new.

    Warlords of Draenor is a smart, fresh start for World of Warcraft. New and current players can immediately start in the newly added areas and they make a great experience. It is too bad rude players are still negatively effecting the fun, but the game itself is really great.

    Escape Dead Island is an action survival game that catches the eye due to its cel shaded appearance. The lack of a range of weapons and possibilities to level up makes us long for more depth. Only the bizarre story will keep you entertained in this one trick pony.

    Freedom Wars feels like the result of an ambitious team that gave up halfway. The missions where you fight against giant robots are much fun, especially because they distract from the many problems that occur in this game.

    Even though it is more simple than To The Moon, A Bird Story is a great example of how games can tell a story. The basic graphics do ask some imagination, but the subtle emotions and excellent soundtrack make this an experience every story focused person will adore.

    A great re-release of one of the biggest surprises of the last few years. Yes, the music was better in the original and the graphics are not that different, but the huge amount of items and combinations make up for that. Rebirth is a lot smarter and extended than that Flash game that started it all.

    PES 2015 offers strong gameplay and thanks to its precision and tactical gameplay it feels like real soccer. You really have to train and work for your goals, which is awesome. The illogical menus and lack of some licenses are a let-down.

    Kyrat is one of the most beautiful game worlds ever. It is so full of adventure that you will probably not even notice that the storytelling is not very strong.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition makes up for the way too short Dragon Age 2. The gameworld is huge and tremendously diverse. The franchise seems to go a bit less dark and intense, but it introduces a new blockbuster RPG standard that many developers will struggle to meet.
