Real Racing 3 is graphically still very impressive with 46 beautiful cars at your fingertips. These all control greatly, but never achieve the finesse of an actual racing simulation. The choice to go with the freemium-model might frustrate, but can be handled when playing smartly. With time-shifted multiplayer, Firemonkeys makes a small step in the right direction. Unfortunately this seems to have happened at the expense of actual multiplayer, that shines in its absence along with a few other options. But even without these options Real Racing 3 is one of the better and prettiest racing-games for your tablet or mobile phone.

The Cave is an interesting mix of platforming and adventure with the typical charm and humour that Double Fine is known for. The game drops the ball on every now and then, but the quirky characters, ludicrous puzzles and cartoony world – which unmistakenly sprouted from the mind of Ron Gilbert – are worth venturing into.

Originality doesn't always have to be good. Let's Tap is a cool concept that is unfortunately only used in a bunch of sub par minigames of which there are way too little. The originality and the slick presentation en the very catchy theme song pull this game just above mediocrity.

Completely outrageous style? Hell Yeah! Lacking controls? Hell No! A load of bizarre humor? Hell Yeah! Frustrating gameplay? Hell No! Worth a try? Hell Yeah!

LEGO Jurassic World is a disappointment. It is awesome to walk around with a big dinosaur while the original music plays, but the game itself feels rushed. The deadly accidents from the film are not creatively Lego-fied and the puzzles are getting less and less challenging.

On the New 3DS Hyrule Warriors Legends is a surprisingly entertaining port of the Wii U-game. It misses some detail, but there are new characters and missions to make up for that. The game is still repetitive and on older models the frame rate is very bad, but if you own a New 3DS, this is definitely worth playing.

It is a pity Ronin struggles with a lot of tiny problems, because the gameplay is pretty awesome. Finding a balance between stealth and action gameplay is hard and it's a real challenge to continue to play this game after a few deaths as the load screen is extremely annoying along with many unnecessary rooms to walk through.

Jet Set Radio is still a wonderful, unique game after all these years. Making your own tag and spraying it on walls, while listening to a funky sound track is still special. The controls are somewhat lacking and the framerate isn't always good. But this funky game is still worth a try.

The cutscenes are a bit too lengthy and tedious at times, but this is the only downside to DuckTales: Remastered. This is a remake that will go down well with old and new players alike, and gives you a feel-good vibe through carefully executed gameplay, stunning visuals and up-beat music. Getting a better score and unlocking new concept art will make sure you'll replay every segment over and over.

For less money than an average pencil set you’re getting a realistic drawing simulation. Drawing on the GamePad feels as close to real life drawing as you can get. All the different tools feel exactly like you expect they would. Unfortunately it’s not possible to quickly erase mistakes and there aren’t any layers to play around with. This might improve the realism, but it harms the usability of the simulation.

The final Inazuma Eleven with Mark Evans in the lead, manages to close out the series in style. The soccer matches remain a lot of fun to play, with the story as the main driving force. Newcomers will promptly be scared off by the story though, because it requires them to know previous installments.

At first there is way too much stuff happening on screen, but after finishing tens of quests, the repetitive side of Kingdom Hearts Unchained X shows. The theme, including the graphic style and amazing soundtrack are cool, but you will have to be extremely patient if you want to give your characters those much needed upgrades.

As always it is a great feeling to puzzle your cutesy Mini's all the way to the end door. It is solid puzzle-gameplay with a happy feel to it, but it does not really excite us. Nothing new is added to the franchise and the TV does not add anything to the game besides better graphics.

Spore: Galactic Adventures changes the gameplay of the original, but didn’t fulfill all his promises. Therefore it will get boring after a few hours, which is an absolute shame.

Steep - Road to the Olympics is a great add on thanks to its serious nature. It offers a great excuse to play Steep again, which has really gotten better over the past year.

During the apex of Ghost Recon: Wildlands the open world and the tactical gameplay complement each other perfectly. However, we can't help but feel that Wildlands is the next game in many of Ubisofts standard open world games, with repetitive missions and boring collectibles.

Thanks to the quickest rally cars of all time WRC 7 is a huge kick, but the controls are really ruining the game.

Sonic Classic Collection is a decent collection of four good and old Sonic games. The chances however are that you played all of them on some way before which makes this Collection nothing special but decent in the most literal sense of the word.

Sacred 2 doesn’t deliver, but I still had some fun with it. For a console fans it is pretty good RPG, but that is mostly because there aren’t many games like Sacred 2.

Strider is a fun action platformer that's a decent homage to the original games from the eighties and nineties. The game could use a creative impulse when it comes to enemies and environments, but you won't want to let it go because of the variety in powers and tight action.

Remember Me is a great start for the young developer Dontnod Studios. The fact that this developer dares to take the risk to produce a new IP with a tough heroin as the main character, makes this game worth mentioning. It also plays well, has an interesting, philosophic story and has a cool world to be in. As a game, Remember Me isn’t perfect though. But for those who enjoy good science fiction stories in which dystopian societies are ruled over by powerful corporations, it shouldn’t be missed.

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Episode 1 is an excellent expansion in its fundamentals. It offers a new location, a completely new story and new things to discover. Especially returning to Rapture is e pleasant experience. But then, after ninety minutes, your presented with an ending.

Beyond: Two Souls is amazing. This statement can be taken positively as well as negatively. Positively, thanks to its unmatched cinematic action scenes. Negatively, because of the limited gameplay. What starts as an emotional, exciting story, ends up being a grotesque tidal wave of paranormal crap. That makes this more the spiritual successor to Fahrenheit than Heavy Rain.

WWE Legends of Wrestlemania is a game that will keep you occupied for a long time. The fighters are cool, the movies bring back good memories and there are many modes. On the graphics-side the game has his flaws, but it is still a lot of fun to play.

Pod is an awful map, but the rest are very enjoyable. It does come off a bit cheap, with two of the maps being remakes of existing ones, but the Zombie-mode is once again original and offers a new piece of game, and the quality the series is known for.

Metal Slug 7 is an addictive game, despite the absence of a co-op mode, the lack of variation in playable characters, and the recycling of different elements from earlier installments in the series. The old school gameplay is a blast though, the visuals have nostalgia written all over it, and the Combat Room is a nice addition.

Tenchu 4 aint a perfect game, but the gore makes it very interesting. Are you a fan of ninjas, stealth and diverse missions? If so, then Tenchu is your game!

MotoGP 09/10 is way more interesting than its predecessors. But even an interesting career mode and a good sense of speed can’t help the fact that some players might van the driving to be a bit unrealistic and the online multiplayer is sort off lacking.

Project X Zone is a decent turn based strategy game, in which the recognizable characters obviously are the most it’s got going for it. That’s also its biggest issue: if you’re not familiar with games such as The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, then many parts of the game aren’t appealing to you anymore, or even not understandable at all. If you do know characters like Hsien-Ko, KOS-MOS and Kurt Irving, this point of critique doesn’t apply to you.

The Sims 4 takes a few interesting steps forward, like the Create-a-sim-tool, cartoony graphics, the modular building system and the improved gameplay within your Sims’ house. But the game also takes a few steps backward due to unnecessary loading times and a reduced amount of content. The end result is a decent game, but not an convincing new entry in the series.

WET has some fantastic moments, but is plagued by some annoying deficiencies. It’s really cool to swing through the levels with the well formed Ruby and at the same time shoot some nasty enemies to oblivion. But after a while playing this game, you find yourself doing the same thing over and over again, and the controls aren’t that precise. It’s a fun game you should get when it’s budget priced.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Adventure Continues is a fun game the play, with the great option to make your own levels, but it is a big shame that you can't share those levels with your friends!

Puddle is a decent game with enough variation and challenge, but is too slow to ever really get exciting and uses too much trial and error. This makes the game more frustrating than fun.

Deception IV: Blood Ties is a weird B-game that’s mostly going on its witty and sickening traps. It’s great when you manage to get one trap sprung, only to have the victim bounce to another, and another, and another. The bad AI is a detriment to its charm though.

With EA Sports UFC, Electronic Arts takes the first steps in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As a newcomer to the octagon it shows potential, but next to a scrimpy career mode and entertaining online mode it has little to offer. The balance of the ground battles ensures that it is negligible, and the many small bugs and frame drops can sometimes get in the way of the otherwise fine visualization of the UFC stars.

Compared to Grow Home there is not a lot of new stuff in Grow Up, but it still offers a great world to explore, addictive, relaxing and frustrating gameplay (it exists) and an arty game to really enjoy.

Mr. Shifty is a fun concept that will last for approximately four hours. We would have liked to see more inspiring puzzles because it is a bit too short.

Code Name S.T.E.A.M. impresses games with a bizarre cast and a weird world. Unfortunately STEAM does not come close to the quality of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars, but if you do not quit this game when things are getting tough, you will love blowing off some steam in this game.

F1 2009 brings back the speed of the sport on the console. The framedrops are too bad, but that doesn’t change much about the fact that this is a pretty decent racing game.

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon rewards players that look further than just the boring story and slow introduction. As soon as you have freedom, this game is one of the best ones in the franchise. There are more than 700 Pokemon to collect and that is exactly what we want.

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.

Sonic has always been an endless runner of sorts, and Sonic Dash fits perfectly in that picture. Thanks to the simple controls, running through the colorful environments is a joy. Sadly it is lacking in the amount of these environments and extra characters don’t really add anything. Aside from that, the game seems to push you towards in-app purchases a lot, which acts like a big stormy cloud above its joyful core.

The Collectables is an excellent game for mobile platforms. The gameplay is simple and entertaining, and as we're used to from studio Crytek everything looks great: shiny and slick. Perfect for short sessions.

WET has some fantastic moments, but is plagued by some annoying deficiencies. It’s really cool to swing through the levels with the well formed Ruby and at the same time shoot some nasty enemies to oblivion. But after a while playing this game, you find yourself doing the same thing over and over again, and the controls aren’t that precise. It’s a fun game you should get when it’s budget priced.

Small adjustments have improved the game overall, so that’s why the game is a lot better then his predecessor. There is a lot to do as manager and if you like to watch the Tour, then you will enjoy yourself a while with the official races and riders.

The Conduit tries to be special, but it isn’t. It is just a shooter, with some weapons and some puzzles. The story isn’t long, but the multiplayer brings a lot of fun. However, the action feels good and that's what counts at the end of the day.

If thinking about freerunning puts a smile on your face, this is the game for you. If you are looking for a good story or a diverse world however, Catalyst is not for you. Mirror's Edge deserves more love than this.

Ninja Gaiden 3 is a guilty pleasure. A incredible and sensational mix of wondrous katana fighting, flying limbs and exaggerated finishing moves are waiting for you. Fans of the series will find the game a tad disappointing due to the worthless story and the - in comparison to the other games in the series - way too easy fights. If all you're looking for is a good, but not too deep fighting mechanism then Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge will satisfy your needs.

Star Fox Zero tries new things while trying to stay true to the franchise. The controls are something to get used to, but you'll get over them. What is difficult to accept, though, is the repetitive nature of the missions and the brevity of the game. Such a pity, because deep inside this was such a good game with awesome air battles.

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.

The stylish presentation of Blue Dragon Plus cannot hide the fact that the game is disappointing. Especially the stupid movement patterns of your characters are terribly frustrating and turn the fighting into a chore. An imprecise control scheme makes tactical fighting almost impossible, causing Blue Dragon Plus to be a mediocre game experience.

Bionic Commando is a great experience for action-fans. Flying around with your bionic arm is lovely and we just love the action which comes out of that. There is a lot of stuff to discover and the soundtrack is superb. The only downfall of the game is that the story is a bit short.

Knack 2 does not have what it takes to be a good sequel. The fights are shallow, the platform parts are the same thing over and over again and it simply takes up too much time.

Fifa 13 on the Wii U is a fine game of soccer with enough teams, competitions and modes to keep you busy for months. It is, however, an inferior version compared to Fifa 13 on other platforms. Important modes like Match Day and Ultimate Team are missing and the Manager Mode has been downgraded. The game has a stuttering framerate from time to time and the GamePad doesn't provide any unique features.

MotoGP 09/10 is way more interesting than its predecessors. But even an interesting career mode and a good sense of speed can’t help the fact that some players might van the driving to be a bit unrealistic and the online multiplayer is sort off lacking.

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.

The strange thing about this game is that despite of the positive picture i had from this game, it wouldn’t keep it that way while playing it. The game does a lot of things very well, for sure. De presentation is very well done, the graphics are top-notch, the gameplay is entertaining and the mission structure is cleverly made. But it misses something. Maybe it’s because the game does nothing new and the multiplayer is boring after a while. For the fans of the genre and people who wants to try out a RTS, it’s an almost instant buy. But don’t expect to play it for a long time.

Foul Play offers a special twist to the beat ‘em up-genre by adding a Rock Band-ish system. The Theatre theme is well implemented, and that makes the game immensely fun and cutesy. The audiences responses actually make you try while fighting, but it does start to get a bit repetitive an hour or so in.

Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is a bit weak. The gameplay is solid, but it has been like that for years now. The new content is mostly sexy outfits for the DOA-ladies, it does not really add much to the Dead or Alive 5-experience. Graphically speaking this really is a remaster, so you only get a higher frame-rate and definition. This could have been more.

Mad Max is too much of the one thing and too little of the other. The game does not need a lot of story, and that is exactly what you get; too little story. The action and the way you can cross the beautiful desert landscape are entertaining, but lots of it feels too easy and like work. Mad Max? We'll call this game Meh Max from now on.

Hey! Pikmin is very clever when it comes to level design and introducing new Pikmin, but offers too little challenge. Even the boss fights are easy, which is a pity for a game that looks and feels this terrific.

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.

Farming Simulator 17 makes sure you are comfortable and it is totally up to you how you spend your time. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, and without you knowing, this might be all you ever wanted.

The brain training assignments are fun to do, but the devilish missions are way too boring and repetitive to really enjoy for the long run.

LEGO Worlds is a logical answer to Minecraft. Generally speaking LEGO does well in a virtual playground, as it offers a lot of options to keep you playing. However, technical issues and repetitive gameplay takes the possibility of a good flow out of the game.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch might just be the funniest game of the year. It’s not just the idiotic premise, but also the as insane gameplay with controls that don’t really give you control of anything. Octodad frustrates in the end with some sneaking elements, but by then you’ll have messed around, tripped and spilled so much, that Octodad is without a doubt father of the year.

Heroes of Ruin is a mediocre game if you'd just stick to single player. But when you delve into the dungeons online, it turns out to be surprisingly good.

This has not become the game people were hoping for. The choice to make it a 2.5D sidescroller is a good one, as many of the issues with 3D-games are now a force behind this one. In a way ACC: China is a very entertaining platform game, but the voice-overs are odd and the game asks a lot of patience of you.

Snake Pass will require some patience in the beginning, but then it opens up as a platformer that offers smooth controls, innovative levels and colorful graphics.

Alice in Wonderland is an example of how movie tie-ins should work. The game manages to capture some of the magic seen in the film and most importantly, it doesn’t suck.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. We love what Game Freak did with Pokemon, but Tembo The Badass Elephant is not so special. It is just a standard platform game without adding anything new to the genre. Very unfortunate, as the fun and crazy cartoon theme is badass.

Guitar Hero: Smash Hits brings all the components of the last five Guitar Hero-games, but doesn’t bring enough big to be called Smash Hits. It is a step back on visuals compared to the other Guitar Hero-games. However, the songs are good, so that is the only reason the game don’t get a bad grade.

The short and shallow story fails to make Automatron a must-have. Making your own robot is awesome, especially as you can customize it totally to your liking. Automatron is a nice reason to pick up Fallout 4 again, but it is not a totally new experience at all.

This game is a worldwide phenomenon, which says a great deal about how much the fans love Pokémon. The technical issues and the shallow gameplay should have already killed the app, but instead the geocaching and AR make this a social adventure that we will definitely be playing for a long time to come.

Darksiders III shows there is still room for linear action gaming. Especially the boss fights are amazing, but technically speaking we expected a lot more.

Dragon Ball XenoVerse is, without a doubt, the best Dragon Ball-game in ages. The balanced fighting system and the typical chaotic over-the-top fights fit perfectly together. Making your own Dragon Ball-character to play the alternative story is fun. Unfortunately the game is stymied by unstable servers, camera issues and the compulsory grinding.

Vengeance equals a visit to your local snackbar. The fries (four new maps) are well fried, but there's a soggy one there in the form of Detour. Thankfully Buried, the hamburger special, is very good and fills the hungry gamers stomach up well. That's what it's about in the end.

Sea of Solitude is very symbolic and effective when it comes to translating the concept of loneliness into a video game. Kays adventure offers a few emotional moments, but the platform and puzzle gameplay both make the journey a bit wobbly.

If you view Erica as an interactive movie, you'll have a great time. Flavourworks sure knows how to tell a compelling story. If you really desire a lot of gameplay, Erica is not your game.

WWE 2K17 is not trying hard enough to renew gameplay. It is finally possible to fight outside the ring, and fights with multiple wrestlers seem to work fine, but there are too many bugs and glitches to discourage you from playing.

Clash in the Clouds is a good example of what DLC should be like. Instead of bringing more of the same, it does something completely new. It makes you experience Bioshock: Infinite from a completely different perspective en pushes you to do the best you can. Even if you get through all four arena’s and manage to get every collectible, there’s still the challenge of beating your high score.

EndWar is also a good game on the PC. The game looks good, the controls work as you would expect and it is fun to play. We also want to give credits to Ubisoft to do something original. However, we give the PC-version a lower grade then we did with the console-version. There are simply more RTS-games on the PC and a lot of them are better then EndWar.

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.

Starblood Arena is not original at all. The fact that this is a PS VR game and not many people have that tech yet, does not help either: you can't find any people to play with.

Behind the innocence of its title and somewhat dull appearance, hides an excellent and varied platform game with a unique concept. The randomness doesn't feel as random after a few hundred levels, but before you've reached that point you'll have visited the clouds multiple times with Cloudberry Kingdom.

The frase ‘Hi, I'm Wolle! Watch me!’ is heard at the dramatic start of Stoked. Luckily the game gets better because of the diversity and difficulty. Some tricks may go wrong, but with a little faith in your self, you can become king of the hill. Unfortunately you are being confronted with the physics and graphics, that aren’t that great. Despite of that Stoked stays a entertaining game.

Dynasty Warriors 8 is more of the same, but better. Changes have been made that make fights more varied, like the affinity-system and rage-mode. There are many weapons to collect and officers to unlock, so there's enough to do. All storylines will keep you busy for more than twenty hours, and then there's the Ambition Mode. For fans of the series this is the best one in years. For critics it's the same dumb game. Typical Dynasty Warriors.

Although Overlord Dark Legend is fairly short and easy to finish, it delivers enough fun to keep you playing. There is enough variety in gameplay to compensate for the lack of difficulty, and commanding minions with the Wii-mote feels like a natural thing to do.

Nier is an awesome game which brings a great story, lots of gameplay variation, interesting characters and a very good soundtrack. It is the surprise of this year!

Star Wars Battlefront 2 has deeper gameplay and an actual single player that really honors Star Wars. Unfortunately loot boxes and a bad progression system prevent this game from really blowing us away.

The first impressions of Battleborn are disappointing because too many elements are thrown at you in too little time. The story missions seem rushed, but there is still fun in the game, for example when you discover a new tactic via the in-game leveling system. Battleborn has fun to offer, but you have to dig a little to find it.

Lost Planet 2 has the potential to be a great game, but the different gameplay elements aren't polished enough. So in the end, Lost Planet 2 is a mixture of a lot of stuff, but nothing in the mix is better then mediocre.

Yooka-Laylee feels like an old Rare platformer, including many cool challenges, funny characters and colorful audiovisual design. The design of the levels, though, is a big let down. They are so frustrating that Yooka-Laylee is best played in short sessions.

Lost Planet 2 has the potential to be a great game, but the different gameplay elements aren't polished enough. So in the end, Lost Planet 2 is a mixture of a lot of stuff, but nothing in the mix is better then mediocre.

Shadows of Almia is a bit of a useless game in the Pokémon-series. It’s like the fat girl in class with whom you’re not comfortable talking to, unless it’s only once in a while. The developers clearly need to start putting some effort in their future Pokémon-products, because that’s what the fans deserve.

Hatoful Boyfriend is by no means a game just for pigeon enthusiasts. Fans of dating sims and gamers looking for something different will find enough entertainment value here. The story arcs are bizarre, the birds about as strange and the dialogue is almost always funny. There’s not a lot more you can ask from a game about dating birds.

Lionbite Games would have done well considering they are a bit small for such an ambitious project. However, there are disappointments in every part of the game: story, text, voice-overs, animations, puzzles.

Aliens vs. Predator seems to be an ok game at the start, but in the end it disappoints a bit. The AI of the enemy is dreadful and the story is predictable.
