    Tiny Wings 2 is a sequel by the book: the same formula, with a slightly different approach and some new elements.

    If you like the idea of running and gunning, feeling well and truly outnumbered but having a chance to defeat the odds then this could well be up your alley. If you require a bit more polish and seriousness (pun semi intended) in your game then this may be more down a dark path.

    Dreams is ultimately something different for everyone and it is impressive how cleverly everyone's part of the game is put together. Those who dare to dream with an open mind can find an endless source of entertainment, gentleness, and genius in this "game".

    Although the story makes no impression, Palm City feels lifeless and the police are sometimes frustratingly powerful, there is a lot of fun to be gained from this game, which offers more than many of the previous parts.

    The Just Dance franchise has undergone few life-size changes in recent years. Never change a winning team, Ubisoft must have thought. It remains fun to show your dance moves on newer songs, or to recall nice memories with older ones. Just Dance 2020 is the most complete game to date, but unfortunately, it does not offer innovation.

    After the less successful Darksiders 3, the franchise seems to have found its way up again. Apart from the sometimes forced humor and clumsy controls, there is little to be said about the spin-off game, which despite the changed camera position will feel familiar to Darksiders fans.

    Life is Strange 2 is a much less subtle part than its predecessor and makes it difficult to get used to it, due to constantly changing characters. The game remains exciting from start to finish, but fortunately does have the same zen moments as its predecessor.

    Death Stranding lives up to its towering expectations, if it does not exceed them. That does not automatically mean that the game is perfect. For example, the story and the actual gameplay are very unrelated, and the game has a rough edge. And yet Death Stranding is extraordinary. The complex and layered story, the serious gameplay full of comic notes, the deserted and oppressive world and the subtle connection with other players create extreme contrasts and a range of emotions.

    I haven't lost any muscle, #fitgirl or tens of pounds, but Nintendo has been getting me to work out for two weeks and I like it too. That is a miracle in itself and proof that Ring Fit Adventure does what it promises to do: give you the motivation to work out and keep it up to date thanks to the incredibly fun story mode. The game may look crazy, but make no mistake: you will be put to work mercilessly.

    Mini game collections are not for everyone, but Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games is one of the better options within the genre. Especially the retro sports - not the least because of the nostalgia - are appreciated. The game would have made an even better impression with a slightly better finish, but at least offers enough choice in terms of activities.

    It is the fighting in particular that makes Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order such an entertaining adventure. The somewhat uninspired story and bugs will sometimes cause some irritation, but thanks to the beautiful worlds, your friend BD-1 and the many hours of waving around with lightsabers, this game is definitely worthy of the "Star Wars" designation.

    Luigi's Mansion 3 is sometimes a bit messy and a bit lazy, but that is in great contrast to the funny puzzles, action and visual spectacle that the game has to offer: a bunch of weird baddies, an arsenal of original themes with accompanying items and an irresistible, scared Luigi.

    The Outer Worlds seems to be inspired by the Fallout series, but this brand new franchise can stand on its own two feet. With a complete universe full of memorable characters, interesting stories, beautiful environments and spicy choices, this is a wonderful game to lose yourself in.

    In terms of gameplay, Link’s Awakening is almost the same as the original, which speaks volumes about the quality that was already present 26 years ago. The big improvement is, of course, the sparkling audiovisual presentation. Wow.

    Though the fourth episode of Life is Strange 2 is a bit more mellow in the process, you can still be on the edge of your seat when it comes to storytelling. This episode really puts the brain at work, touching upon subjects that cut right into the soul.

    Astral Chain is the most diverse game PlatinumGames has made and offers fascinating and varied gameplay. Some elements, such as the platforms and the silent protagonist, are not completely visible and the Switch itself seems to collapse occasionally under all this content, but the flashy action and the cool police work make up for that.

    Dragon Quest Builders 2 offers many big and small improvements over the original. Building is a lot more extended, though that chews a bit off of the adventure. There is so much to do though, it will keep you busy all summer.

    You do not have to be a fan of Harry Potter to enjoy the game, as it is more important to be patient and open to sink into the wizarding world. Especially if you love collecting this is a fun game, though you have to guard yourself for not spending real-world money.

    This game proves that the untamed speed of CTR is still fun after all these years. It is a challenge, especially at the start, but once you get in the zone, you will feel as nitro-fueled as Crash and friends.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence is a surprisingly good game that is perfectly balanced. The game really impressed us with the way a group of kids is placed in a gruesome, hostile world. It makes us forget about all those rough edges and shallow bad guys.

    Puyo Puyo is a puzzle game you pick up for just five minutes, but before you know it you are playing for hours straight. The classic version of this game is amazing, which is good, cause there aren't too many modes to choose from.
