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

The character creator offers loads of fun and though the series is less about the physical figurines and more about the gameplay, making your own virtual Skylander is already really great.

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.

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.

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.

Civilization has come a long way over the years. There are so many options in this strategy game, it makes us dizzy. It might be a tough cookie for people that are not familiar with Civ, but for experts this is a near perfect Civilization 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.

Dragon Quest Builders seems to get a lot of "inspiration" from Minecraft, but thanks to the quests this game has a bigger purpose. It is hard to put it down as there is this constant feeling of adventure. Not everything within Dragon Quest Builders is as excellent, but you will definitely get hours and hours of building fun.

Battlefield 1 has a few small errors, but you will hardly notice them as scale of the online action is so big. Finally even online play is impressive, which makes Battlefield 1 the best Battlefield-game in years.

Rez: Infinite is already awesome, but the VR experience makes it so much better. Without any distractions you can see, hear and feel Rez Infinite. Amazing.

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.

This game offers even rhythmically challenged people a chance to understand the tempo of minigames. This is the best Rhythm Paradise thus far, filled with fun, comedy and a lot of challenges.

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.

Xcom 2 offers the same challenging turn-based gameplay and tactical possibilities on consoles as it does on pc. It is such a thrill to lure aliens in your trap, while connecting emotionally to the soldiers that work for you. It is too bad the loading times are a tad long.

Gears of War 4 takes all the best things from the previous Gears of War-games and offers a new, thrilling part of the story. The balance between battle chaos and excellent controls offers hours and hours of fun.

Phoenix Wright might not offer a lot of innovations, the funny story lines filled with odd characters make up for it. It might not be as surprising, but it definitely has personality.

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.

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.

Rise of Iron is the answer to the fans' calling for more content. It inspires gamers to play Destiny again, and all the downloadable content together make Destiny a game that is very much worth your time.

NBA2K17 is a most impressive basketball game. A few minor tweaks in gameplay give the game a better flow, and there are way more options to play the game.

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.

Smarter AI and new gameplay make this new FIFA game a very entertaining soccer game with an excellent balance between spectacular and realistic soccer. There are a few minor errors that hold this game back from being an instant classic, but the addition of The Journey, in particular, makes FIFA 17 worth while.

The surroundings are a lot better than Forza Horizon 2, and it's no longer necessary to go all the way to another city to start a new race. Every location feels like a game in itself and that makes the game much more sensational and swift.

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.

Had they put a little more money, time and attention into ReCore, there could have been an awesome game here. Unfortunately only the gameplay is okay, the rest of it is just meh.

PES 2017 is one of the best playing soccer games ever. The failing goalies and referees from the last game are gone and there are new tactical options that really improve the game. PES 2017 truly delivers a realistic soccer experience.

It feels unfair to call Dragon Quest VII a bad game, as it was fine in the year 2000. However, in 2016 we are not okay with a game that does not innovate enough. It just feels old, instead of retro.

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.

Metrico+ offers new, difficult puzzles and better graphics. The story is a bit vague and the soundtrack is annoyingly repetitive, but the gameplay is so original that we loved running around in that strange infographic world again.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided offers you the freedom of doing things your way, in a cruel future that scarily has a lot of similarities to our current world. Sometimes the game has some technical failure, but Deus Ex is definitely worth your time.

Everybody that wants to play Formula 1, should play F1 2016. There is so much content that is very similar to the official formula 1, and it is so much fun to play this game thanks to well thought through features and simply being a nice drive.

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.

Bound takes you away on a dance trip to abstract locations with a mysterious background. It offers a unique twist to the classic 3D platform genre by focusing on the narrative and the visuals.

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.

The gorgeous sea world in Abzû is very beautiful and relaxing, but can also be exciting. It will only take you two hours to swim your way through the story and there is not much freedom, but it is an amazing experience to remember.

This game uses Kinect as it was meant to be used: it is technically amazing, and it takes you to another world in which not your brain, but also your body plays a big part. The game is funny, the puzzles are smart and that makes the shortness of it a bit of a let-down, in a positive way though.

BoxBoxBoy has the exact same charm, style and pace as its predecessor. The extra boxes to stack are a game changer, but for experienced Boxboy players it is just a matter of getting used to. Unfortunately it is not very challenging.

It's not a game per se, more a virtual course to learn people paint and draw many Pixar and Disney characters. It is remarkable how quickly you can draw a pretty convincing drawing.

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.

Newbies might be better off starting with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, but for experienced Monster Hunters this game is the greatest one thus far. There hasn't been much change since the last game, but there is still much to get from this new Monster Hunter experience.

Inside is a short but amazing trip through a broken world. It offers not only entertaining and logical puzzles, but also a story that is as tragic as it is bizarre. The fluent animations are the cherries on top of this tasty platform cake.

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.

The story of the latest Star Wars movie gets retold in the cutest and funniest way thanks to TT Games and LEGO. The new gameplay additions are amazing, like rebuilding LEGO builds to puzzle your way to the next stage. It is so charming, it makes us forget about the technical errors.

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.

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.

Mighty No. 9 is very disappointing, thanks to its ugly graphic style, annoying presentation and frustrating levels. Mega Man needs a better follow-up than this.

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.

Kirby: Planet Robobot is a strong game in the Kirby franchise, adding a super awesome mechanic suit for Kirby. It does make the game a bit too easy though.

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.

This game is so boring and standard, that it just feels like a bad game even though it does necessarily do anything wrong. If you don't like the Turtles, stay away from this game. If you do love the Turtles: stay away from this game too.

Downwell is a super quick, complex and challenging game that makes you experience the descend anew every time. Don't play the iOS version, go for the controller.

Blizzard's first shooter is as accessible as it is competitive, which is an excellent combination. It does not matter what type of gamer you are, you will love Overwatch, too. The Heroes are extremely cool, their abilities are versatile and playing in teams is amazing.

This game is predictable and is simply not inspiring, but above all Homefront: The Revolution is a technical wreck. Even after day-one patch it is full of serious bugs, an unstable frame rate and other flaws that are simple inexcusable.

It is a shame Total War: Warhammer has not been made before because this game is fantastic in every way. All factions come to life, there are game mechanics that make every race different; they give the game personality. Thanks to the spectacular battles and four strong campaigns, this is the best Total War game we have ever played.

The slogan 'Fight like Hell' says it all. Doom is brutal, it is quick and it is exactly what Doom was in the 90s. That is a big plus, but also a weakness as id Software simply can't manage to modernize the series. The story is insane, the tempo is odd and shooting gets a bit repetitive.

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.

Emblem Fates is the most extended game in the series, thanks to three storylines that are a tad cliche. Thankfully the strategic gameplay and complex tactics make up for that, cause this game can pull you in and take tens of hours of your time.

We could not have wished for a better end to the series. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End offers action, humour and gorgeous graphics, combined with new gameplay elements that really feel very natural to the series. There is so much love put into the game, and it pays off: this is an excellent way to end this legendary series.

Gameplay is king and Housemarque proves it. Alienation does nothing new, but it does everything to perfection. The gameplay is addictive: a great mix of collecting, action, fighting, role playing and the upgrading of weapons.

Severed is one of the best PS Vita games ever, and the touch controls are used well. The game is a constant surprise full of smart gameplay features, items and magical powers. It is very fun to explore this world as it keeps on challenging you until the end.

Black Desert Online is an addictive and interesting game full of changes. It is so huge and it is so full of options, that it might scare away a few gamers. That would be a pity because this game is worth your money: after 138 hours there is still so much to discover.

Star Fox Guard has a nice learning curve to get you up to speed about robots, CCTV and mazes. There is a huge variety of enemies and weapons, to keep guarding the Grippy installations fun. That really helps, but only for a while, after playing this game for a while, it does get repetitive.

Yo-Kai Watch is both on the outside as the inside a very attractive game. The funny and unique Yo-Kai truly make this game worthwhile, even though it involves too much walking and searching. This is a great introduction to the franchise.

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.

Ratchet & Clank is reintroduced to gamers and it is done very well. The visuals are fantastic and the combination of chaotic shooting action and platforming is still gold to us. It is too bad the friendship between Ratchet and Clank is very much in the background.

Dark Souls III is the best that the genius, yet twisted brain of Hidetaka Miyazaki has to offer. This might feel like the Dark Souls game you already played before, but then optimized, smoother and visually more spectacular. Expect epic bossfights, a mysterious story and constant excitement.

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.

Car enthusiasts do not have to look any further for the best race game of the moment: that would be DiRT Rally. There is so much depth, challenge and sensation in this new Codemasters title, wow. All we want is more tracks and cars.

There are some cool new features in Rio 2016, for example the costumes in the story mode. The possibilities of 3DS are used as much as possible, which is very fun, especially as the variety in minigames is good. Is it exciting though? Unfortunately not, and there are no online ways of playing, which feels a bit old-fashioned.

Quantum Break is all about one thing: storytelling. The game is dynamic, quick and has a terrific look and feel. Remedy has made a masterpiece.

TrackMania Turbo is not perfect, but it is an amazing race and a pleasure to watch. If the community is nice and active, TrackMania Turbo can stick around for a very long time.

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.

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.

UFC 2 feels like a complete UFC experience with a few good new features. The Ultimate Team and Knockout modes offer many hours of fun. The career mode however, could still use a bit of work.

In general Pokken Tournament is not super brilliant or innovative, but it does put everything we have learned about Pokemon over these past twenty years in a very solid fighting game.

This is a strategic and rhythmic roguelite that offers many hours of entertainment thanks to its randomly generated dungeons, bombastic soundtrack and waves of deadly enemies. Sometimes it seems impossible to really get through the game, but that awesome feeling when you do win, will get you hooked on Crypt of the Necrodancer.

The Division is more RPG than shooter, but on both parts it is a lot better than expected. At the end of the game, after reaching the level cap (30), the amount of content gets a bit small, but that does not mean we want to stop playing this great game.

Superhot is not traditional, standard or bad. The unique gameplay offers a highly entertaining adventure in a surreal world. The story and the way it is told are original and the extra challenges offer a couple of hours of crazy fun.

This is a shooter that will make any bad mood fade away instantly. It does not matter if you'd rather play on the zombie side or the side of the flowers; both will offer fun new characters that will grant you many hours of multiplayer fun. The campaign is a bit short, so in a next game we would like to see more of that.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD might not be the best Zelda, at least it aged well. The HD port is not on all levels equally solid, plus there are not a lot of new features. However, this game still is an amazing adventure that will entertain you for many hours.

Even though the setting, graphics and characters are pretty solid, AC Chronicles Russia simply does not feel like an epic adventure. Instead we get frustrating fights and that is again a disappointment.

Hunting and taming wild animals is a great experience, but it is the only big new feature in this game. The fighting misses depth and impact, and most of the gameplay simply feels to familiar. The game is entertaining, but together with the thin story Primal is just too average.

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.

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.

The Following is a lot like Dying Light. The same rough edges, basic story and annoying characters. Even the bugs and other technical issues are still there. However, this add on does bring enough new features to make it worth while to play Dying Light again. Plus, it is still a game with strong gameplay and amazing co-op modes.

It is really hard not to fall in love with Unravel. The atmospheric, beautiful world is the perfect setting for an emotional story. There are a few hiccups when it comes to gameplay, but thanks to the quality of the adventure that is hardly noticeable.

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 game with two faces: the story mode and adventure modes are amazing thanks to the action, fights and quick time events, but there are also bad dialogues between characters. Thankfully there is a lot to do in this game, so that does make it worth while.

Firewatch is great little game among all the big productions this spring, as it only takes you four hours to experience this glitchy game world. It is a good adventure with a few emotional moments, but it simply does not impress as much as we were hoping for.

The team attacks are a solid addition to the game, but Marvel's Avengers does not succeed in being better than LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Thankfully there is a lot of fan-service and loads of content to specifically please Marvel- and LEGO-fans.

The Bug Butcher is more than just slaughtering bugs (which is already pretty awesome). The funny style, the many explosions and the twist of only being able to shoot upwards are all fantastic. This is a real arcade game: you play it over and over and over...

XCOM 2 will reward you for being patient. Just like Enemy Unknown, but a little bit better in every little aspect. There are extra tactical layers added, there is better variation in maps and the game will throw tough choices at you when it comes to your base. An excellent game, and we can only hope it will come to consoles as soon as possible.

This intense game puts you right in the middle of war but not in the perspective you'd expect. As a civilian you will need to survive, while encountering a lot of emotional issues. The choices you have to make are fascinating all through to the end.

The Witness is a gorgeous, colorful puzzle adventure that will offer tens of hours of gameplay. The natural way of introducing new puzzle elements is perfect and as you are free to discover this island full of puzzles, it does not feel repetitive at all.

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.

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.

For only five euros you can buy Pony Island, an adventure that will keep you stuck to your PC for about four hours. That is all you need to know about Pony Island.

The simple retro look of Punch Club hides that this is actually a pretty deep management game. It can be very repetitive and frustrating, but the fighting system is lively and the pop culture references are highly entertaining.
