If you love platform games, Yooka-Laylee really is a game you want to love. However, after a few hours you will notice that this game fails at really offering the same quality as other games in this genre.

The magic that is Skyrim is definitely still there after all these years. However, the bugs, old animations and repetitive quests are showing even more than before. There is still a beautiful world out there though, that is ready to be explored.

This is not a surprising LEGO title in any way, but it does offer a playful world filled with super heroes, fighting, collecting and puzzle and platform gameplay.

Technically speaking Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey is a sloppy product that is not episodic due to creative reasons, but because of the budget and the development team. Ragnar Tornquist is able to create worlds and characters in a brilliant, mature way. That brilliant writing is actually what saves this first chapter.

Even though The Bioshock Collection is filled with content, it is far from perfect. Technically speaking there are a lot of bumps on the road and the gameplay simply is not Bioshocks strong suit. However, the design is amazing.

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.

Ultra Street Fighter IV does not offer any new content, but is more fluent. This new version feels like it is a must-buy, but it is not very exciting. The big plus is that you can finally play this game on your current-gen consoles, but other than that it does not bring a lot of new elements to the table.

Mafia 3 is a constant struggle. The setting is amazing, but there is no legit reason to really explore it. The story is intriguing, but repetitive missions make it difficult to get through. Cinematically speaking it is a great game; unfortunately gameplay-wise there is room for improvement.

Diluvion is the type of game you'd like to see more of, as soon as the credits roll down the screen. The Jules Verne-like world is fascinating, but there's too much missing to really be worth it.

Resident Evil Origins Collection is not really worth it. There are no extras and every game is already on sale for half the price of this collection. The inventory of Resident Evil Zero is so complex that it still makes the game feel like work. Just play Resident Evil HD Remaster and stick with that, please.

The Sinking City is a fun game, but to really enjoy it there is a lot you'll have to put up with. Maybe that will be solved in the future, but at the moment the only thing that really saves this game is the amazing influence of Lovecraft.

Pocket Planes is free, which makes it perfect to give it a try. Collecting money and bucks is slow if you don't spend real money, but in time you can expand your airline without taking out your wallet. Too bad, though, the game is incredibly passive; you do nothing but sending out flights and waiting for the money to roll in.

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.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes tries to capture the dark side of the master detective, but thanks to the awkward animations we barely recognize Holmes. The clunky controls make discovering a crime scene a grueling experience, but the game does excel in the things it's supposed to excel in: many different puzzles and some great detective work.

Sanzaru has tried to listen to the bad response to the worst sold Sonic game ever. Changing into different characters, using fire and ice is fun, but those puzzle platform elements still mess up the awesome speedy feeling that we long for.

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.

On the one side it's a fast-paced, pretty, turn-based Pokémon game filled with random dungeons that provide many hours of entertainment. On the other side though, is has a dull story, stacked with uninteresting conventions that can't be skipped. Because of this, Gates of Infinity is a less serious, and even somewhat childish successor to its predecessors.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is to a certain degree pretty enjoyable but it simply never attempts to try anything special with the universe to which it is connected. It's absolutely not horrible and the true fans will definitely enjoy it but we hope the next game contains a bit more 'magic'.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is not a revolution in movie based games, but it is not a bad effort. It is entertaining to go wild with the Transformers and we love the chaos. However, the game is repetitive and the story isn’t very long.

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.

The concept of Wondershot is pretty good: you only get one life and one chance to use your gun if you miss target. On the PC it is too bad that the game is very much made for local co-op play, as many home setups do not really allow for more than one person to sit. Plus, Wondershot does not have enough personality to really stick.

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.

PES 2010 forgets to innovate, which is especially disappointing considering that defending is as difficult as it was in previous years due to a lack of real control. However, the game has it’s moments of brilliance when you’re on the attack, which saves it from a sub-par grade.

Unfortunately The Pre-Sequel does not have the rich characters we expect in a Borderlands-game. Going through this adventure with Claptrap is very enjoyable, because of his jokes, but technically it could use some freshening up.

Everything in this game has been done before, and has been done better. Not having split screen co-op is unforgivable; Inversion seems to be made for playing it with another player next to you. A lot of variation makes the single player experience somewhat decent, but never rises above mediocrity.

The short length of Wanted: Weapons of Fate is actually its rescue. If the game would have been any longer it would have gotten boring. For that reason Wanted is only recommendable for the most fanatic Wanted fans. Everyone else might give this average shooter a chance when it’s in the discount bin.

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.

Dead Space 3 has moments in which it is just as exciting and tense as its predecessor and new additions, such as crafting your own weapons, are great. However, the boring human enemies, repetitive encounters with the necromorph, a weak story and the feeling that the game has been stretched, make sure that this trilogy ending doesn’t stack up to the first and second Dead Space.

Lightning Returns tries to restore the honor of the Final Fantasy franchise as well as being an RPG with modern design sensibilities. Unfortunately, it succeeds in neither. Final Fantasy gameplay elements drown in a mishmash of poor game design and forced choices. This third XIII does have its own charm though. Touching music and the still present FF-magic make Lightning Returns an acceptable RPG.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is not a revolution in movie based games, but it is not a bad effort. It is entertaining to go wild with the Transformers and we love the chaos. However, the game is repetitive and the story isn’t very long.

Dice offers a game that honors the epic movie series, especially in visuals. The sound effects are spot-on as well, but both can't make up for the shallow gameplay and repetitiveness that comes with Battlefront.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is to a certain degree pretty enjoyable but it simply never attempts to try anything special with the universe to which it is connected. It's absolutely not horrible and the true fans will definitely enjoy it but we hope the next game contains a bit more 'magic'.

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.

The never-ending repetition of gameplay is a killer for this fun stand-alone add-on. We miss vivid surroundings, awesome level-design and original assignments. Thankfully the powers you are given during your time in this game (like flying and kill demons in a fantastic way) make it still worth while.

This action game with horror influences made us scream at night. The music and spooky enemies has driven us to a point that we had to switch on all the lights. Once we weren’t scared anymore we saw some things that made are eyebrows go up. The protagonist, Alex, can fight and uses a gun. This takes away a lot of fun that we had during the last Silent Hill. So it is safe to say that it’s a good game, but doesn’t have the ‘wow’ factor.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is not a revolution in movie based games, but it is not a bad effort. It is entertaining to go wild with the Transformers and we love the chaos. However, the game is repetitive and the story isn’t very long.

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.

Yonder offers a beautiful world and a big heads-up to the bigger franchises of this planet. The fact that only three people developed it, make this game very special. It is too bad the search for Sprites is exhausting, cause otherwise this could have been a pretty awesome game.

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.

The short length of Wanted: Weapons of Fate is actually its rescue. If the game would have been any longer it would have gotten boring. For that reason Wanted is only recommendable for the most fanatic Wanted fans. Everyone else might give this average shooter a chance when it’s in the discount bin.

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.

Cargo Commander has a special and original setting and some truly creative moments. But the drag sets in way too early and the many bugs and glitches don't make the game anymore fun.

Kirby's most characteristic skill has been taken away from him, which does not do this game any good. Plus, the beautiful art style and music are not really coming to live on Wii U GamePad. As most Kirby-games, this one is still entertaining and easy accessible, but it could have been much more.

It’s fun for a few hours, in which chaotic gunfights, funny weapons and a couple creative moments manage to get your attention. However, the game is too shallow to keep your attention for long. Just like its big brother Serious Sam Double D XXL is corny, simple fun, but never anything more.

After finishing Papa & Yo, we were left with mixed feelings. The game offers a unique emotional experience through the creative fantasy world of Quico, accompanied by great music. But the platforming and puzzling never really gets challenging and the game is filled with bugs and technical issues. This makes Papa & Yo an unique game, but not the game it amazing game it could have been.

Accessible to all and existing of simplistic gameplay limited to bashing the A button. A lack of story, variety and ability to train your Pokémon, make sure the game never evolves beyond a mediocre, yet sometimes enjoyable, party game.

Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is a collection of almost fifty games. Most of them are well worth playing. The nostalgic feeling is great and a lot of bonus material can be unlocked. The only two downsides are that none of the games has an online multiplayer and that half of the games are already downloadable.

The short length of Wanted: Weapons of Fate is actually its rescue. If the game would have been any longer it would have gotten boring. For that reason Wanted is only recommendable for the most fanatic Wanted fans. Everyone else might give this average shooter a chance when it’s in the discount bin.

The basics of Fortnite are great: building a base and fighting zombies is amazing, especially when you play with friends.

This is the best WWE-game we have played in the last few years. It is full of content and the lineup of wrestlers is amazing (120>!), although it is a pity that they are not all the same when it comes to their abilities. The game is full of bugs, annoying submissions and it just does not deliver the quality you would expect in a sports game. The MyCareer mode misses out on depth and storytelling, but the WWE Showcase-mode is awesome.

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.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter doesn't live up to its expectations. The single player features six hours of shooting dumb and scripted enemies. Only the chase through Dubai will linger in your mind after you finish the game. The multiplayer has improved thanks to the addition of fire teams, but the indestructibility of environments and a boring unlock system make sure the multiplayer won't rob you of your night's rest.

Pro Cycling Manager 2010 isn't the best game of the series. It brings little new features to the table, the technical problems of the last games are still there and little effort was put into the database. But at the same time this is a game that will be loved by all cycling fans. Though next year the series really has to make a step forward!

The stop-motion clay animation of Armikrog is very impressive, but gameplay wise the game is less impressive. Some point and click moments are cool, but often it just feels like work.

Afro Samurai stays close to the anime. It has some big flaws, but despite that, the game is still standing. The soundtrack is superb and the slow motion action will keep you entertained.

The debut of SimBin on the Xbox 360 isn’t that great. The game offers many different remodeling options for your car. You can make it go faster, be stronger and better. But unlike the hit of Kanye West this game isn’t bigger, better or faster. The options are all that there is. Of course is it possible to race on different tracks and change cars, but what else is new. If you really want a good racing game, then this is not the game for you. Race Pro looks like a pro, but handles like a newborn baby that is still eager to learn a lot.

Age of Mythology: Extended Edition is an excellent strategy game in its core. The scanty treatment it got for this Extended Edition makes this pretty disappointing. A few additions and graphical updates don't justify the high price tag.

Micro Machines World Series only shortly let us tune into that nostalgic feeling thanks to its wonderful tracks and fun multiplayer modes. It makes it rather sad that there are too many bots and AI present and that the controls are so difficult.

Cobalt is an entertaining platform game with excellent controls and an awesome combat system. But it also involves a lot of obstacles that should not be in there, which keeps it from being really good.

Risen 3: Titan Lords is lucky that it has been released just before the big storm of RPG’s. If the game would’ve been around a little later, it wouldn’t have stood a chance. But aside from all that, Risen 3 isn’t a bad game. There’s lots to do and Piranha Bytes has tried to keep away as much as possible from the word ‘boredom’. Even though the game succeeds in that respect, there are still a lot of shortcomings that are unforgivable these days.

We had a lot of fun playing the zombie mode with friends, but it was not very different from its predecessors. We liked two out of four maps, but they have a huge disadvantage: you can buy specific maps, but if your friends don't buy them...

Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD goes far on the scale of Bear Grylis, but doesn’t go far enough when it comes to survival techniques. It’s cool how the ground shakes and paw prints stay visible, but with a wind, sound and sight meter it’s all too simple. The dinosaurs animations are also laughably bad.

BioWare is good at making complete worlds, like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. We wonder why it chose to offer us only half a world with Anthem. It looks amazing, but it needs a lot of work if we want to enjoy it for the next couple of years.

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility is not the right game for everyone and there are a lot of mistakes that make the game less fun. Loading screens, the missing of voice-overs, repeating gameplay and controls that aren’t that great are examples of that. There is a lot to do on Waffle Island, maybe for weeks or even months!

F1 2014 does not have any exciting innovations, besides the changes that also happened in the actual teams in real life). The gameplay is flat, the game looks rushed and we can only hope Codemasters will put more effort in F1 2015.

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.

Trials of the Blood Dragon has an awesome style, but it forgets what makes Trials so great. The motor levels are still the best, cause the rest of it is a bit meh. If you really want more Trials, this can be your game, but otherwise you might want to go for something a bit more exciting.

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

SimAnimals is EA's entertaining and uncomplicated answer tot Rare's Viva Piñata, made for those who aren't in the hardcore gaming scene and are looking for a pick-up-and-play game. You control every animal in the same way, and bit by bit the game explains you it's mechanics. The rusty and annoying control scheme however takes away a lot of the fun pretty soon in, making this a game nearly above average.

Though Ashes of Ariandel offers a new surrounding, new enemies and pretty challenging boss fights, there is nothing surprising or convincing about it.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is trying to do something, it can't. Shooting Nazis together can be a lot of fun, but without the dark and boundary-seeking humor, the strong storytelling and impressive cast, there is not much left of Wolfenstein.

Silent Hunter 5 is another decent game in the series with a few problems here and there. Especially the incomplete tutorial, the loading times and the lack of polish in some area’s are annoying. On the other hand, this game is so packed with content that you are guaranteed to be busy until Silent Hunter 6 comes out.

Afro Samurai stays close to the anime. It has some big flaws, but despite that, the game is still standing. The soundtrack is superb and the slow motion action will keep you entertained.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is to a certain degree pretty enjoyable but it simply never attempts to try anything special with the universe to which it is connected. It's absolutely not horrible and the true fans will definitely enjoy it but we hope the next game contains a bit more 'magic'.

Color Splash is a disappointing RPG, but the gameplay is still worth while thanks to its funny situations and inventive levels. It's such a pity the things we did not like about Sticker Star are back.

1-2-Switch will definitely get the party started, even though the quality of the minigames is low. The graphics and visual style are very attractive, but this game should have been a free launch game to show off the Joy-Cons.

Despite the interesting combo system, Killer Instinct offers too little at the moment. There isn't enough of anything, let alone characters, even though it is a blast from the past to rediscover those. If Killer Instinct ever gets 'more', it might find its way back to the top of the fighting game ranks.

NIOH offers a strong first impression with a deep combat system, but it is plagued by repetiviteness.

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.

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.

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.

Codename Panzers: Cold War is a prime example of a ‘strategy light’ game. The balance between the different units isn’t that important. More important is how the player anticipates to changes in the environment. It’s the ultimate ‘appetizer game’, it’s edible, but it’s not as fulfilling as the main course.

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.

Graphically speaking Fe is magical, but it is a bit buggy and too rough around the edges to really shine.

While The Crystal Chronicles has some interesting gameplay mechanics, is visually impressing and has an epic storyline, the majority of this adventure is forgettable, due to its annoying battle system, horrible controls and boring mini-games.

Sherlock Holmes offers more choice, making you feel like you have a huge influence, and the stories and puzzles make it a very enjoyable game. Unfortunately graphically speaking it is disappointing, and the same goes for the controls.

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.

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.

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.

Dreamfall Chapters Final Cut pulls you straight into the intriguing world of politics, but it struggles keeping things interesting towards the end. The puzzle design is frustrating and the personal interactions with the Stark and Arcadia peoples get a bit boring after a while.

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.

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 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.

From a technological perspective, Undercover is a humiliating installment in the Need for Speed-series. The frame rate stutters, the open world is dead, and the story is laughable. Even then, Undercover offers some of the same over-the-top racing fun we have gotten used to, and the game will surely get your adrenaline pumping when getting behind the wheel of some of the hottest cars in the world.

The customizing of your own Mech, the good looks, the amount of weaponry, and decent story are all positive features of an average installment in the Armored Core-series. The missions and bland surroundings get repetitive after a while, and the fact that nobody plays the game online is a real letdown. All in all, Armored Core for Answer breathes mediocrity.

Exit still stands out as the unique puzzle-game it was on the PlayStation Portable, but escaping from all kinds of hazards is a lot less appealing with the sketchy and frustrating control system on the Nintendo DS. The amount of fun you’re gonna have with Mr. Escape depends on the height of your own boiling point.
