    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.

    Zombie Army 4: Dead War is the Farming Simulator among the shooting games. There is a therapeutic beauty in the systematic liquidation of zombie nazis, but the game simply does not offer that.

    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".

    Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind is not surprising. No new Disney worlds or characters, just a repetition of the last world from a different perspective. When it comes to boss fights though, Re Mind really gets interesting.

    Stranger's Wrath is charming, but it is getting a bit dated. This game used to be unique, but it seems very monotonous now. If you are huge fan this shouldn't be a problem, but we would not recommend it to newbies.

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is definitely a game for anime fans. If you are not familiar with this franchise, you will probably not enjoy this game as much. However, if you are a fan, this game is filled with everything we love about Goku and friends.

    This game is exactly what you'd expect: an hommage to the Nintendo DS classic with a few new features. Most of it is still great, but the infrared is technically lacking.

    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.

    Couch-co-op games are just the thing for you, but The Stretchers are a surprisingly nice addition to your collection within its genre. The cheerful gameplay, clumsy characters, and silly humor will certainly enhance the atmosphere in your living room.

    Is this your first Pokémon game? Welcome! You will immediately feel at home, because the game takes you through the region by hand.

    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.

    The Touryst is a fun day out, but ultimately not much more than that. The game is a bit short and manages to evoke quite a bit of irritation due to the sometimes very annoying (optional) mini-games.

    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.

    The remake of MediEvil can best be described as a missed opportunity. This was the moment to give Daniel a second chance and to re-introduce him to a younger audience, but Sony and Other Ocean seemed to be in a rush making this game on time for Halloween.

    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.

    Compared to its predecessor, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint offers mainly more possibilities for creating fun and exciting momens with friends. The flaws and bugs are offset by Ubisoft’s promise to continuously deliver new content for Breakpoint over the next few years. The French company has demonstrated with Rainbow Six Siege and Ghost Recon: Wildlands that they are committed to supporting their games for a long time, so there is a good chance that Breakpoint can play a lot better on your own in a year.

    The militancy that the now independent Bungie shows with Shadowkeep is promising for the future of Destiny 2. The new locations look beautiful as always and although the story of the expansion ends abruptly, Bungie shows that there is a clear vision for the next few years.

    Grid is an entertaining and sensational racing game, which unfortunately also has a lack of finish and presentation. This is nothing more than "just nice racing". For a lot of gamers, that might be enough - although the franchise has already shown in the past that there is more to it.

    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.

    Fifa 20 is all confetti. Pure speed, sensational counter football, and childish dances after a goal predominate. That is not criticism, it's a statement. It is really nice to beat an opponent with a lot of show, but Fifa has not much to do with "real" football this year.

    The still brilliant fighting system and the structure of Jericho City make The Surge 2 a nice soul-like and definitely a better game than the original. However, the game is a disappointment in terms of story and variation in environments and enemies.

    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.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order shows that together is better. With more than thirty playable characters, there is a favorite for everyone.

    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.
