Little Nightmares III has a few truly great moments and as a co-op experience it certainly has its charm. The game is however sorely lacking a lot of the atmosphere, creepiness and general quality that made its predecessors so sensational.

South of Midnight impresses with its unique Southern Gothic setting and stunning visuals, but falls short due to repetitive gameplay, shallow storytelling, and lackluster combat.

Considering its parentage, it was hard to imagine Trials of the Blood Dragon being anything but great. And sometimes it is just that, with stellar level design, good vehicular control and a real sense of style. Other times its far from great, with clunky walking and shooting, abysmal voice acting, and a ton of frustration throughout.

A wonderful Tower Defense concept in a disappointing package. There's a lot of strategic potential here, but the levels often end when you are getting the grip on things.

Clunky controls and lack of free locomotion puts a serious dampener on this VR-port. Doom is appealing and entertaining in a new form, but id Software have taken some unfortunate shortcuts.

Call of Duty: Vanguard offers an at times spectacular campaign and a fun multiplayer mode. Yet the authenticity of the Second World War is all but gone, with missing historical maps, teams and uniforms, leaving me wondering why the developers even chose this setting to begin with.

Battletech is an often fun tactical Mech game, but one that sadly is held back by an overreliance on an intrusive RNG system and long wait times between gameplay.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is amusing for a few hours before it turns rather stale. The combat system is fast and sharp, but also repetitive, and because there is so little in terms of story and characters, there are few reasons to replay the game once the short adventure is over.

While the addition of Marvel's super hero canon is great, there has been done very little to improve the bog standard formula of the LEGO series so far. You still smash and build your way through various colourful levels, and it's a game flow that's starting to show its age. Once you remove all the fan-service you're left with nothing but an average game that relies too much on gaming OCD to be worth it.

It's sad to see that Kirby this time around has lost so much of his former playfulness. The varied arsenal of creative attacks has shrunk down to a pathetic gang fight where the player plays the passive role of a bystander. The game never offers a proper challenge, and even though the visuals and audio are heavily 16-bit-inspired and charming, Kirby Mass Attack never really makes you want to keep playing.

Fuse is packed with action, sadly of the average kind. At times the co-op makes you forget the stale gunplay and lack of real progression, but in single-player Fuse has little to offer an experienced gamer.

Submerged looks beautiful, but lacks the required depth to really grab hold of the player. The repetitive gameplay holds no challenge whatsoever, and when the initially intriguing story loses its way, players are left with little to no incentive to keep going.

Anmynor Puzzles is a puzzle solving game where you control various golems in their quest to move runes to a given destination. While the game is rich on gameplay elements, most levels are very basic and lacks challenging puzzles. Anmynor Puzzles also suffers from difficult camera management and some glitches.

Shadow of the Beast's best moments are to be found in its introduction, which says something about a game that is only a few hours long. The combat system, which starts out strong, turns into a button mashing nightmare, while a confusing story and weirdly designed boss battles cements its standing as a mediocre experience.

If Total War wants to be able to compete again, it needs to not only take inspiration from its greatest competitors, but seriously needs to look back to its own glory days: Rome and Medieval II.

Deadpool fits in neatly with the rest of the game titles by developer High Moon Studios. It's a good tribute to a well established character, but the gameplay itself feels clunky and isn't all that satisfying to play. Switching between swordplay and gunplay has been done much better in other action titles.

Destruction AllStars has a bunch of great ideas and unique twists on the standard car combat genre, but it's severely lacking in both content and gameplay variety.

It is obvious Platinum Games know their Avatar/Korra universe, but the game feels too constricted by its own fictional setting to really let itself go a bit crazy. Combat works fine, but lacks depth, and the length of the game incredibly short.

A good foundation doesn't always make a very good game. LEGO Star Wars on the 3DS feels a bit lonely and it gets a bit boring after a while. The 3D effect is purely cosmetic.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is often interesting, with a clever story and cool characters. Other times it’s a messy affair, with pale graphics, boring gameplay and confusing mechanics.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is not as amazing as it sets out to be. Your neighborhood webslinger deserves a better game.

The game shoves and commands me around as if I'm some mindless observer, while continuously bragging about the stunning but hollow-feeling visuals. The simple do-as-you're-told mechanics make no leeway for anything, and despite the game's alright shooting action, the result is overall quite forgettable.

Tomodachi Life tries to be fun, and it sorta is. The problem is that it only lasts for an hour or three, and then the magic’s gone forever.

While the overall setting and characters are both delightfully stupid and unironically bizarre, there's little else in the game's narrative that's much to write home about. The story itself is rather bland and melodramatic, and the single player campaign is frought with repetitive missions and fights. The multiplayer doesn't fare better, with interchangeable characters and game modes that leave something to be desired.

It's lovely and beautiful, and the attention to detail is wonderul. Sadly the game is wrecked by the terrible camera that will ruin some of it's finest moments.

A beautiful and atmospheric walking sim that lacks meat on its bones.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League showcases the best of one world, and the worst of another; a unification of best-in-class cut scenes and cinematics, with a boring looter-shooter mounted beneath. It is the anti-Destiny, a game where the love of the developers shine through the soul-crushing monotony of the loot grind.

Darksiders Genesis is a completely mediocre, somewhat boring game. There is good entertainment for a few hours, but then the variation ends and it becomes very much the same enemies, the same level, the same mission and you do more or less the same thing for the rest of the game.

Citizen Brown is like a mediocre sitcom. There's loads of talk and not much else. The puzzles are dull and simple, the scope is extremely limited and the situations are silly at best. But at least it'll make you laugh from time to time.

Quotation forthcoming.

A charming game that collapses under its own premise.

Disney Universe plays well, has got a lot of charm and welcomes you into the world of six great, classic movies. Still, the game is way too easy to beat, especially when playing on your own. Disney Universe stands out more as a children's game than an actual challenge for more experienced gamers.

For all its effort, Aphelion severely lacks the ingenuity, polish and emotional impact of Dontnod's other titles. It is simply OK, a fairly decent action adventure. One that might as well have been made 15 years ago.

There's a lot that could have been better with this revamped version of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. Some of the shortcuts taken could certainly have been embellished with a slightly bigger budget. The lesson is probably that Game Boy Advance games, and all the limitations they had, don't hold up very well when translated to modern consoles.

Intermission has some good qualities, such as the battle system, the music and it looks great. However, it does not offer much new.

Although Homefront has a compelling multiplayer and a interesting story, its singleplayer campaign storytelling and lack of player involvement is no short of being awkward. With its average game mechanics and bad design choices, it really isn´t a game one could recommend except for the most action-hungry FPS-players.

This massively unbalanced game manages to produce tears of joy and tears of pain pretty much all at the same time. An awesome combat system can't quite fight off the vast army of frustrating annoyances.

Despite being quite enjoyable at its best, this maritime strategy game is scuttled by a very slow start and a lack of depth.

A mediocre wargame that fails to impress. A short, 6-hour-long story which is hard to follow, does not hit any emotional buttons or give enough adrenalin-pumping moments. A decent multiplayer, but nothing that has not been done before in the genre.

The campaign is too short, even for an arcade game. The gameplay is repetitive, and you'll probably be tired long before you've played all 100 levels. The multiplayer can be good fun with some friends, but don't expect the fun to last all night.

The third expansion to the Men of War universe suffers by being one of the most difficult realtime strategy games out there. Combine this with a rather high amount of bugs, and you got the recipe for the least entertaining and most frustrating game of the series.

Heavily inspired by the likes of Dungeon Keeper, this base building game fails to achieve the greatness of it's ancestor. There's some fun here, but outside of trying to navigate your increasingly complex dungeons, it's not challenging enough.

Yooka-Laylee simply doesn't live up to todays standards. Especially when compared to the well designed games we've been served lately.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare brings a fun single player campaign to the table, despite the lackluster characters and the shallow storyline. The multiplayer is what keeps me coming back, but with the latest maps being awkwardly designed, I'm spending most - if not all - of my time on Terminal, a map from Modern Warfare 2, which basically sums up the problem of the series. Call of Duty is in dire need of a gameplay revolution, and it shows from the most basic of movement patterns to how I'm shooting my gun.

Eagle Flight leaves me with mixed feelings. The first time you play it will knock your socks off, but you soon find a game with a lack of depth.

There can be no doubt that Hello Games set out on a journey of extreme ambition with No Man's Sky. Unfortunately, too much of a good thing can turn into something bad, which sadly reflects the reality of this never-ending game. While it is a beautiful, inspiring and gigantic title, No Man's Sky lacks the depth, the polish and the substance of a truly great adventure.

Making courses in a streamlined editor on the 3DS is a joy, but the unexplained absence of sharing courses online takes away any interest in continued building and playing.

It has its moments but this trek through rooms and corridors quickly becomes tiresome and uninspired. The multiplayer brings it up a notch, but not enough to make this truly worth your time.

The fusing of puzzles, Metroidvania and a the film noir aesthics create a very alien, yet familiar world to travel in. It becomes a bit boring in places, but overall the journey is a fascinating one.

Most twin stick shooters are good fun for a while, and this is no exception. Cutting down orks with constant streams of bullets is definitely entertaining, especially with a friend. It provides terribly little variation though, and you won't be sad when it's over.

So then we are left with Warcraft III, only with a bit nicer figure models and surroundings, and a small bunch of removed elements. If you have the old game from before, it is difficult to say that this renovation is worth the money. And when everything that's gone in Reforged is additionally removed from the old version of the game, it's hard not to scratch our heads and wonder what we're paying for. What's the point?

Steep looks good, and offers a lot to do, but does not provide good reasons to keep on playing.

Atlas Fallen manages to offer a fairly fun and exciting foundation, but otherwise comes across as a tame experience that you've experienced in better games before.

An improvement on its predecessor, in terms of both combat and setting, but the choppy framerate and ridiculous outfits ensure that the Code Vein II experience remains an underwhelming one.

The tense atmosphere and fascinating setting makes this a highly interesting installment in the series. Sadly it is all brought down by a long list of technical issues and annoyances that makes this sometimes very enjoyable game a very trying experience.

Quotation forthcoming.

Despite some nifty enhancements to teamplay and a great western setting, Lead and Gold somewhat falls through with sloppy weapon physics, lag issues and weird design choices.

Sniper Elite: Resistance might be worth a look if you love the series and want more of the same. Unfortunately that's all you get, and the formula has grown rather stale.

As a means to tell stories based on actual events Valiant Hearts: The Great War works fairly well. The plot is engaging, the characters compelling and the use of World War One as a backdrop is a bold, but ultimately good decision by Ubisoft Montpellier. The beautiful, hand drawn graphics are stunning to look at, and manage to underscore how difficult life in the trenches was. Unfortunately Valiant Hearts isn't able to justify itself as a game. The gameplay is, ultimately, not very interesting and completely without challenge.

Days Gone has a lot of great ideas, an interesting story and some of the most beautiful eyes in the business, but other than that the game is lacking in both polish and execution. Overall it's completely serviceable, but that's about it.

Not pretty to look at, has a horrible story and a long walk from the spirit of the original game. The mechanism makes good multiplayer games and the technology system offers different playing techniques, but the game struggles to stand out from other average titles.

While it is extraordinary beautiful, Trek to Yomis gameplay is lacking in multiple areas.

The Empire Divided campaign partially succeeds in being a fun new addition to the Total War universe, but it quickly becomes clear that the old shortcomings of the Rome 2 engine and a lack of great new mechanics, music and voice-overs make for an experience that feels older than it should.

Master of Orion is a visually appealing game, but for a strategy title that tries to impress, it's not enough to sport a pretty face. The wonder of a space exploration strategy is severely lacking, partly due to the arcade-like game design, and partly due to the lack of any real depth.

Tri Force Heroes isn't a bad game, but it's not a great one either. It feels more like an apology from Nintendo for delaying Zelda Wii U to 2016. A lack of polish and depth holds the experience back and there's very little reason to replay anything once you're done the first time around.

Watch Dogs Legion is unfortunately a boring, middling game without much creativity to speak of.

Look past the industry veterans standing behind it, and The Last Story fails to garner any sense of wonder. The new gameplay and combat mechanics are a refreshing addition to the genre, but doesn't hold up under much scrutiny. Clichéd characters and trite storytelling grind the experience down to a mediocre one.

Gods Will Be Watching is a test of patience told in six violent acts. What could have been a fascinating glimpse into a cool sci fi universe is unfortunately sabotaged by mechanics that give the illusion of control but often makes you feel like a helpless bystander. Whether this is by design or by accident, it ends up being a frustrating experience.

Magic The Gathering Tactics offers a fresh and original take on the collectible card game. The new elements make the game both tactically challenging and very entertaining. But unfortunately the game is plagued by bugs, mismangement and a severe lack of communication from the developers, making it still an unfinished product.

Unfortunately Volitions new Saints Row offers nothing more than a completely middle-of-the-road action game that is occasionally fun.

Ghost Recon Wildlands offers a stunningly beautiful open world – and little else. The awful storytelling leaves much to be desired, and the mediocre shooting and driving.

Gat out of Hell feels like a sequel that was turned into a downloadable side story. It's jam packed with enough collectibles and side missions to fill an entire new Saints Row game, but is sorely lacking in story content. What's there is as funny as always, but it still leaves much to be desired.

Despite its incredibly beautiful characters, the unique puzzles, and weaving the tale of a truly engaging murder mystery, Double Exposure severely misses the landing and falls completely flat in its final act.

The Youtube-style presentation is a success, but the rest of the game is just plain mediocre. The story is boring and the action feels far too generic. Might be worth buying for the coop.

Fishing: Barents Sea is unfortunately somewhat boring. It manages to introduce an enjoyable progression system, where you get larger boats based on your actions, but the mechanics behind the fishing and tasks are nothing special.

Tron: Evolution suffers from the original movie's main affliction: Monotony. While initially interesting, the gameplay feels repetitive, and an inconsistent control system causes additional frustration. The soundtrack is, on the other hand, awesome – but that's sadly not enough to make this game a classic.

Blades of Time is a lazy patchwork of already exhausted mechanics and ideas which Gajin has stolen from most of the hack and slash games seen this millenium. The result is a lot of uncreative, badly executed nonsense wrapped around some fairly decent fighting mechanics.

Imperator: Rome is a massive game, yet one that falls markedly short in comparison to what we've gotten used to with other Paradox titles like Crusader Kings 2 or Europa Universalis 4. An outdated, lacking or outright broken UI hampers the experience dramatically, despite a beautifully gorgeous new campaign map and an awesome and innovative new trade system. Imperator tries to be a bit of both; a family and state-oriented game, but in its pursuit of this goal, it sadly becomes neither.

There's no reason why a Dynasty Warriors game wearing a Legend of Zelda costume can't work, and at first Hyrule Warriors is surprisingly entertaining. Unfortunately the game runs out of steam after only a couple of hours. There's no depth to the combat system and slaying countless monsters becomes fairly monotonous.

The simple, enjoyable rail shooting of Star Fox 64 has in Star Fox Zero been replaced by contrived and obscure hardware gimmicks. A few decent levels salvage the overall experience to a small degree.

A lackluster remake in every way. A lack of new content and poor presentation calls the price tag into question, while the game's one attempt at something new – a hardware gimmick mode – is outright embarrassing. Turbo HD Remix is still the superior remake of Super Street Fighter II.

This highly anticipated platformer falls flat on its back, having inferior controls, level design and overall presentation compared to the game series it attempts to recreate.

There are some funny elements in Conan Chop Chop, and the gameplay itself is ok, but when the underlying structure is as bad as this, it all collapses.

Little Orpheus delivers a charming, colorful and varied adventure, but is both too slow and too repetitive for the fun to last.

Excellent combat aside, the boring story and cookie cutter characters drags this experience down to forgettable levels.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors partly unsuccessful capturing the heart and soul of the One Piece franchise. The dialogue is funny and the Straw Hat Pirates are well animated, but the gameplay is repetitive, and unless you're a true Dynasty Warriors fan this button mashing title might end up disappointing.

This could have been a brilliant game. The problem is that it just doesn't work. The Kinect controls work only when they want to, and most of the time they don't, something that ruins an otherwise great experience.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a beautiful mess. Its world is gorgeous, but static; its role-playing mechanics deep, but its characters and story flawed, and the combat system is both fresh and clunky at the same time. What makes matters worse is the prevalence of technical errors and crashes, which makes me wonder how the game was allowed to be released in its current state.

It feels like a pale copy of Rocksteadys Batman: Arkham Asylum, lacking in charm and unique features. The game is also plagued by both small and big technical issues that drop it down to a disappointing level of mediocrity. It's not all bad, but as a package it is uninspired, empty and flat.

It's obvious that Ghost Games and Electronic Arts are trying to build a great Need for Speed game, but they still haven't quite gotten there. This more reboot friendly Need for Speed feels incredibly shallow, resulting in a racing game that seems to be running on empty.

Portal Knights is a visually appealing game, but lacks the sense of wonder and awe we are used to from the likes of Minecraft. The crafting and building systems might be present, but the game lacks a world worth exploring, which makes it all fall apart fairly quickly.

Yoshi’s New Island is a cute and colorful game. Unfortunately the game is an almost complete copy of Super Mario Land 2: Yoshi’s Island 2. The gameplay is exactly the same, and the developer, Arzest, have barely come up with any new ideas to the game. It looks like Arzest haven’t truly put their heart and into this project.

If you manage to look past the large amounts of fan service and really dig deep into the game you'll quickly find just another average shooter with some interesting visuals. This is a game by fans, for fans.
