    Super Mario Party has an awesome way of going back to the essence of the franchise. The gameplay might be a bit too shallow, the new modes and sharp graphics are epic enough to even impress hardcore players.

    This is the best game you can play on Xbox One. The game might hold your hand a bit too long, that is just a minor thing considering the great racing adventure Forza offers.

    Looking at the gameplay, NBA 2K19 is a very strong basketball simulator, filled with many modes and beautiful graphics. Unfortunately that is not all: there is not enough innovation and old faults are back too. A pity, cause essentially this is a good game.

    Divinity Original Sin is a very loved game among fans of strategic RPG's. Larian Studios sets the bar even higher with this game, as you have even more races and classes to choose from, without losing the atmosphere of the original.

    FIFA 19 is like an amazing soccer team in the Dutch league that only gets stronger. However, FIFA 19 is not the world-class game that is all about soccer. It is a bit too much sensation over quality.

    PES 2019 is more about individuality and fluent gameplay than ever before. Especially when you play online it is noticeable, but it is a let-down when you play offline. And offline is what PES players love best.

    V-Rally 4 stays on the safe side in the rally sub-genre. The result is a game that feels a bit too familiar, though it does come with some impressive rally tests. It's too bad the cars are too unpredictable.

    It does not happen often that a remake is better than the original, but it is the case with Yakuza Kiwami 2. The plot twists are amazing, and the same goes for storytelling, characters, sidequests and the fighting system of this game.

    LEGO The Incredibles is a bit same old, and the chaos that is on the screen in the co-op mode is just too much. Thankfully TT did bring some of that old-school teamwork back, which makes this a pleasant experience.

    If you really crave a nice game of tennis, this is the game to play. Especially if you appreciate the party game influences. The adventure mode is pretty repetitive and frustrating, but as you can play online it can also be a ball.

    This game is better than its predecessor, but that does not mean it is great. It's short, the story mode is minimal and the fighting system is way too simplistic to be enjoyable.

    Adding another Yarny makes this game feel less personal than the first. It is fun to play with someone else, though its not the puzzles that steal the show: the amazing journey through Scandinavian nature is what really makes Unravel 2 a joy.

    Detroit: Become Human is a bit too ambitious for its own good. It is not a game-breaking problem, but it does make moments that were set up to be huge a bit disappointing. If you take it slow and give your brain enough time to think it all through, there is definitely a lot to take away from Detroit: Become Human.

    State of Decay 2 offers amazing tools to write your own story of loss, human failure and the power of hope. Every time you leave your post, you end up in a very exciting, thrilling journey, which unfortunately is pestered with bugs.

    If you haven't played the Wii U version, this is an ideal time to get the game. The original is a very underappreciated platformer, and it does have a steep learning curve, but if you like a challenge this game will offer you fun for many, many hours.

    God of War is a true revolution to the franchise. The heartwarming dynamic between Kratos and Atreus is even more intense because of the fluid camera that shows action, drama and silence in an incredible way.

    Sea of Thieves is a bit bipolar; you have all the freedom in the world to pick where you are going, but there are also restrictions: you can't really make your own character and there is not a lot of variation in the quests.

    After a mind-boggling start, you come to understand Far Cry 5 better along the way, until the point where you do not want to leave Hope County anymore. The well-shaped world is filled with stuff to do and the charismatic villains are a great addition to the experience.

    This is the biggest Yakuza addition until thus far, but it does not really know how to amaze us like Yakuza 0 did. We appreciate the way Kiryu's story comes to an end. Even after many chapters this game still surprises us.

    If you are a huge fan of AMA Supercross, you will love this game with its real tracks and racers. But if you just want to do a fun racing game, you will not enjoy this game that is not very comfortable to play.

    This is a very ambitious game that eventually wants too much. The mechanics are deep but make the game less attractive to mainstream gamers. The huge open world and the opportunity of experimenting is great, but the story is a letdown.

    Lost Sphear brings back the Japanese RPG from the golden SNES era by taking Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 as an example. That does mean the game is filled with cliches, but you gotta love the nostalgic gameplay.

    This is a good online oriented game with a lot of much loved Final Fantasy characters. There is lots of action and the fighting system is good, but the camera can be annoying sometimes. Plus, if you are not familiar with the FF-franchise, you will have a hard time understanding.

    Mario Party has offered us many treats over the years and it is fun to choose when you are playing them. However, there is not much room for motivation to play through, and it is not too easy to play this game with others, making it less of a party than it would be on a tv console.

    Doom is proof that vr games can be played in high tempo, making it physically challenging at some points. There are not many of these points though, and you are mainly teleporting through the rest of the game, making things a bit boring.
