Dead or Alive 6 is an okay fighting game, but it is too limited to really impress us. Hopefully Team Ninja has some updates up their sleeve.

There are some ingredients there to be a good game, but this is not a game that completely honors Kafka. This did not turn out the way we hoped it would.

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.

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.

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.

T.K. Baha’s Bloody Harvest is a very simple expansion that offers a cosmetic sidestep from the usual. The short adventure in Hallowed Hollow is dressed up nicely with Halloween details and a few different looking enemies. Aside from that, it doesn’t do anything new and you’ll have finished it in an hour or so.

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.

Venitca's story is ok, but the rest of the game fails. The fighting system is boring, it has a lot of technical flaws and the world feels uninspired.

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.

This specific Vita-version of the Jak and Daxter Trilogy doesn't do the series enough honor. Framerate issues and awkward controls undo a lot of the magic. Whoever manages to look past these issues will have an expansive and varied trip through the colorful Misty Island, the somber Haven City and tough Spargus awaiting them.

This game does exactly what its predecessor did, which is not a lot of fun. The key character is too over the top and it makes us feel even more strongly about the Assassin's Creed franchises need of being renewed.

Escape Dead Island is totally different than any other entries in this franchise. The graphical design and the spontaneous happenings are entertaining, but the shallow combat system, the scant choice in weapons and the many crashes make this game very average.

The graphics of Angry Birds 2 are way better than of the first game, and the boss fights are a nice add-on. However, the fun gets spoiled by Facebook popups, film clips, in-game purchases and long waiting times.

Little Witch Academia feels like Groundhog Day, but without the fun. Too bad, cause it really has the same feel as the anime.

Ode is not the perfect extension of the indies Ubisoft likes to put out there. Not that it's bad, it is simply not special.

Miitopia brings the spunk of Mii's back and that offers a fun look into their lives. It is too bad the Mii's totally take away the spotlight, leaving you with too little to do.

Red Alert 3: Uprising has a budget priced label, which is a good thing, but we've seen better Command & Conquer expansions. The Yuriko campaign was a good idea, but fails. The other campaigns aren't interesting, the new units are boring and only the Commander's Challenge is a feature that will save the game from a bad grade.

If you have never played any of the games in this collection, you will not appreciate it. The port to 3DS is great, but most games do not stand the test of time.

Though the new content is updated with the real world championship rally season 2016, there are no improvements to the series. The game design is odd and the driving is pretty bad. If you are very much into rally driving and you think DiRT Rally is too challenging, this could be your game though.

It is not very surprising to see another Yoshi game that creative and cute, and though it is nice for a while, it all feels way too familiar and frankly, a bit boring.

Dead Island: Riptide is more of the same. In the case of combat and leveling up this is a good thing. But unfortunately it also bring along all of the issues of its predecessor. They've also chosen for the more linear jungle and city settings instead of the unique holiday resort. These faults make this a disappointment that can still be fun to play.

No Man's Sky feels like a great adventure, with a lot of freedom to explore many, many planets. But the game is not very good at telling a good story, and the fact that the gameplay is very repetitive and the game even crashes is a big disappointment after the huge hype surrounding this indie title.

Shu is nice, but it is overshadowed by the many other 2D platformers on Switch.

The Inpatient is impressive thanks to virtual reality, voice controls and the amazing story. However the controls are a big obstacle, making it very hard to keep playing.

This is not a game to think about, this is a game you should play just for fun. There is a nice variation in Agents, but other than that it is pretty simplistic.

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.

Enter The Dominatrix is a simple DLC package that adds five missions and extra content to unlock. The missions are never challenging, and never manages to get as hilarious as you’d expect, though it can still be quite entertaining. Because the other content isn’t enough reason to keep playing, you’ll be done with it in one and a half hours. Except for a few shits and giggles, it doesn’t have much to offer.

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.

The game never impresses - web-slinging is fun, but that's it, really - but also never really hits rock-bottom. An okay sweetener, while we wait and hope for a Spider-Man game that's finally really good.

The Sonic-team has succeeded in developing an improvement upon the last Sonic-game on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Even then, Sonic Unleashed is a flawed game. The Hedgehog-levels are fast and fun, while the Werehog-levels offer a bit of a change to the classic Sonic-gameplay, although, unfortunately, it often comes down to mindless button bashing. Unleashed shows that Sonic isn’t dead and buried yet, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

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.

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.

Both the campaign and the online multiplayer are nice additions to the franchise, but they can be frustrating. Especially the online multiplayer feels incomplete, but thankfully the local multiplayer makes up for that.

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.

The Sonic-team has succeeded in developing an improvement upon the last Sonic-game on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Even then, Sonic Unleashed is a flawed game. The Hedgehog-levels are fast and fun, while the Werehog-levels offer a bit of a change to the classic Sonic-gameplay, although, unfortunately, it often comes down to mindless button bashing. Unleashed shows that Sonic isn’t dead and buried yet, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

Jurassic World: Evolution is selling us short as a management game. There are many dinosaurs to create, but none of them really differ from each other.

With this virtual release of Risk the makers do not take a lot of risk. Thankfully the rules of the game have not been changed and the modern visuals in general are something to get excited about. Too bad the new style is a bit to serious and tough, without adding personality. The frame-drops are not really helping this game, either.

Xenoverse 2 has a pretty cool way of combining fighting games and Destiny, just like it's predecessor. But it does not get a lot better than pretty cool, unfortunately.

Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron is a decent game that offers some old school Battlefront fun, but is ruined by its bad controls and shabby camera.

Mythologies is not a great expansion on the The Age of Empire-series. There might be a story involved with the game, but we didn’t really think it was worth mentioning. The name of the game could have easily been Age of Empires: Mariothologies, you wouldn’t know the difference story wise. When this doesn’t bother you, you’ll find a game you can play for many hours.

This game struggles with a lot of crashes and this is why we definitely do not recommend anyone to buy it at this moment. If you trust the problems will be fixed and you can handle the mediocre graphics and AI, Payday 2 will still be a good shooter for you.

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.

London 2012 is undoubtedly one of the best Summer Olympic games, but everyone who has played a couple of those, knows that doesn't say much. Some sports impress, while others fall short. The way SEGA has handled the grand sporting event, still isn't up to par.

Venitca's story is ok, but the rest of the game fails. The fighting system is boring, it has a lot of technical flaws and the world feels uninspired.

Enough can be said about Motocross Madness. It's very easy, quite short and hardly polished. Something that's very noticeable when multiple racers are in the frame. The racing itself is pretty decent, so that makes up for a few of the issues, but Motocross Madness can only be described as a simple exercise in futility, and not much more than that.

Boing! Docomodake is a weird game. It’s both original and imaginative, but also sloppy and lacking polish. The underlying concept of a transforming mushroom is fine, the puzzles are fun, and the platforming action is decent and challenging, but the overall presentation and control scheme are way below average, making Boing! Docomodake a mediocre game at best.

Square Enix games were once a guarantee for good RPG’s, but those times are gone. The Last Remnant fails miserably in almost every way, and is highly unpolished. The game has its strong points, like the profound battle system and a lengthy campaign, but the story, visuals and surrounding game world are one big letdown. The Last Remnant is yet another Japanese RPG that doesn’t live up to its initial expectations.

Mario & Sonic Sochi 2014 performs well and especially the Dream Events are fun. But it controls superficially and the explanation of events isn't explanatory enough. With a little more attention for the gameplay it could've earned gold. Or, well, silver at least.

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.

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.

Competitive guys got their awesome fighting game with Street Fighter 5, but it still feels like we are paying full price for a game that is only half done.

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.

FIFA 15 could’ve been brilliant. The presentation, different modes and gameplay are top notch, but the online gameplay often doesn’t function like it should. It’s strange to realise what we’re willing to accept just to play a football game, but the simple truth is that there is not a good alternative right now. The game is passable, but PES 2015 has a serious chance to win the cup this year.

You’re in the Movies is largely a technological failure, making the game impossible to play at times. It’s fun to participate in the different minigames for a while, but the only reward is a minute-long trailer that is way too short to include enough images from the efforts everyone’s made during playing.

Sakura Wars might just be too Japanese for us. The dialogues are quite boring and the fights in the game just don’t bring that spark we were hoping for.

Family Ski & Snowboard doesn’t change a lot of the basics of its predecessor. The addition of the snowboard is fun, though it doesn’t offer anything new gameplay wise. The graphics are still quite weak and the game doesn’t offer a lot of content. Luckily the gameplay slightly makes up for all this and, even though there are some Wiimote detection flaws, prevents the game from failing altogether.

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.

The new version of Shadow of the Beast tries really hard to honor the original, while adding modern features. The amazing looking world and the interesting fighting system are not enough: the game is too short, the controls are annoying and the focus is on getting a high score is simply too much. Very forgettable.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD misses most of the iconic parts of the Tony Hawk franchise and has a messy finish. The improved graphics and the nostalgic value aside, this game never really manages to capture the pure Tony Hawk experience of the old days.

Goat Simulator is meant as a joke, and you can tell. It's hilarious, for an hour. When you've seen everything there won't be much to do and the bugs and controls will soon simply annoy instead of delight.

We were hoping for some improvements, but alas. Pro Cycling Manager know many frustrations. There are a few improvements made to managing, but these are too slim to redeem the game. Next year real steps will have to be made to save this franchise, and a patch to fix all of the crashes wouldn't hurt.

Alpha Protocol is one big deception. The stealth action is lacking and the enemies sometimes act ridiculously. Because of this most of the missions are a drag. A shame since the created world lends itself perfectly for a spy game. The surprisingly fun conversation system, in which the choices have a real impact on the gameplay, is a spark in the dark mess called Alpha Protocol.

The fundamentals are there but Dark Void never soars to great heights.

Unsolved Crimes offers some original and interesting cases to be solved, but hardly manages to rise above its everlasting mediocrity. Luckily, Nintendo DS-owners have a lot of great alternatives at hand to actually have some fun solving crimes, like the beautifully crafted Professor Layton.

Alpha Protocol is one big deception. The stealth action is lacking and the enemies sometimes act ridiculously. Because of this most of the missions are a drag. A shame since the created world lends itself perfectly for a spy game. The surprisingly fun conversation system, in which the choices have a real impact on the gameplay, is a spark in the dark mess called Alpha Protocol.

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded does well what it has done over all these years and is filled to the brim with humor. Despite the new lick of paint, the outdated gameplay elements and the puzzle design kept Larry trapped in the eighties.

The Crew offers lots of unique road trips in a gigantic world full of content. But unfortunately we could not overcome the technical issues, sloppy graphics, bad driving behavior and other flaws this game has. It is awful to see all that potential go to waste like this.

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.

Mario Tennis Ultra Smash is a disappointment. The basics have been okay-ish for years, but the new modes like Mega Battle and Knockout are boring. The online bits are so simplified that even playing against friends is not an option. This game feels like a waste.

Island of Happiness is way too slow for a game on the Nintendo DS. Entering the world of Harvest Moon and staying there for hours can be very unrewarding and not useful at all, while handheld-games should be playable in short intervals. Also, the fun of casual farming is spoiled by the clunky controls.

The fundamentals are there but Dark Void never soars to great heights.

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.

The fundamentals are there but Dark Void never soars to great heights.

A wonderful idea, but poorly executed. It doesn't work in the dark and it loses it's horror essence during the day. For once we're glad a game only lasts three to four hours.

It’s cute Ubisoft tries to keep The Crew alive by releasing dlc, but we have experienced cop car chases in other games that were so much better. This is not the way to go.

The only cliche that might be true about this game, is that people that love Power Rangers will have fun with it. But if you are looking for a good beat 'm up, there are many games that are actually worth your time.

Verdun is authentic, you are crawling in the trenches, waiting for the enemy to take a risk. Original? Yes, but it is not something that everyone will enjoy.

Sacred 3 could’ve been a very good game, but it falls short on many levels. The co-op mode can be fun for a couple of hours if you play with a buddy, but there’s a big chance you’re already bored by the awful humor and cliché story. Sacred 3 is far from a worthy sequel to the series.

Invizimals is a simple case of a good idea, with a mediocre execution. A load of technical issues and a low difficulty hamper what could've been a great adventure.

Smashbox Arena is a fun experiment, but it is nothing more than that. The concept is fun and it works, but it does not offer enough content or quality to really speak to a bigger audience.

WWE 2K15 shows great wrestling sports with awesome looking wrestling stars. But it is such a pity there are not many wrestlers to choose from and the gameplay feels very slow because of the addition of endurance. WWE is all about spectacle and those things sure keep this game away from being spectacular.

Dr Mario World is a freemium game and that shows. You play for a second and there is a wall of payments brought up. It is a fun game, but you can't really get everything out of it without using microtransactions.

World of Tanks is an unfriendly, greedy game that sometimes will offer you a good time. The surroundings look fine and it's fun to drive around in a tank. The gameplay is very self-interested, as you are constantly trying to get the best tank for yourself, which does not really fit with the multiplayer characteristics of the gameplay.

Alpha Protocol is one big deception. The stealth action is lacking and the enemies sometimes act ridiculously. Because of this most of the missions are a drag. A shame since the created world lends itself perfectly for a spy game. The surprisingly fun conversation system, in which the choices have a real impact on the gameplay, is a spark in the dark mess called Alpha Protocol.

FIA European Truck Racing Championship is without a doubt one of the most original racing games we have played in years. However, that does not make the game worthwhile.

Kona has great potential, that might be used in the next parts of the game. However, this game is not good enough in everything it tries to do. The story is not interesting and the survival element is limited.

Mirror of Fate got away with its shortcomings on a handheld, but on the big screen it becomes painfully obvious how much it falls short. With exactly the same problems and no additions worth mentioning, Mirror of Fate HD resembles a toothless vampire: harmless and worthy of the name Dracula.

The thought behind Vane is fantastic and artistic, which is shown by the creative style and mysterious gameplay. It's a pity that gameplay is very frustrating, mainly due to bad controls and worlds that do not render well.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey wants to offer a kind of pseudo-realistic experience from the past, but forgets that there is a modern person behind the buttons who just wants to be entertained.

Explorers of Time is almost the same product as its two predecessors were a year ago. Its old fashioned gameplay mechanics unfortunately keep you from fully enjoying this basically decent game.

If you’re a fan of sci-fi classics Aliens: Colonial Marines will be worth a nostalgic trip down memory lane because of the authenticity in the game. Even the multiplayer is worth a shot, but the generic and boring single player mode will not entertain you for long. On nearly every field this game falls short and adds little to the first-person shooter genre.

WRC 3 doesn't have enough modes and drives quite horrendously. The only upside to the game are the licensed drivers and tracks. This, however, is not enough to qualify as a good racing game.

Episode 4 is a remarkably disappointing end to a very nice series. There is nothing left of the strong gameplay of Barry and Natalia at the end, and Claire and Moira do not add anything to the game anymore. It is such a pity, especially because our sympathy for this game grew every week and gets torn down in an instant.

Star Command couldn't live up to the expectations it set for itself. The great visual style and sharply written dialogue form the shell of a failed Kickstarter-project. Star Command lacks diversity, the entertaining space battles quickly become repetitive, the artificial intelligence is bad, it isn't well balanced and succumbs to a wealth of bugs.

Bound by Flame aims high, tries to take on Dark Souls and The Witcher, but disappoints. It's a shallow attempt at riding the success of other fantasy-franchises. It's full of cursing, moral decisions based on, well nothing, a standard setting and something that's supposed to resemble a combat system.

Weird, vague and repetitive, that is the best way to describe this game. The style and atmosphere are awesome, but everything feels like work. It could have been a communist version of Animal Crossing, but at this moment it is definitely too boring to reach that status.

I simply can’t recommend The Lord of the Rings: Conquest. The game is riddled with both minor and major mistakes, the camera is awful, it looks like a PlayStation 2-game, and the gameplay consists of little more than mindless hacking and slashing of countless enemies. The only positive aspect is the decent multiplayer-mode, but even that feels outdated, compared to Call of Duty 4, Gears of War 2 or anything in that direction.
