    Fast Racing Neo has its futuristic racing heart in the right place. It looks great, it is superfast and offers good tracks. Another way of enjoying this awesome game is to play the multiplayer.

    Just Cause 3 offers a lot of options to go ballistic, but there are many technical errors like long loading times and a dramatic framerate. If you can handle that, the game is big enough to keep you going, and there is a lot of fun in there like using the wingsuit, crashing helicopters and blowing up tanks.

    The gameplay in Game of Thrones is a bit more passive than most games and might be difficult to follow for people new to the franchise, but it does offer a strong story that fits right into the Game of Thrones lore. It has the same fantastic way of taking you into this fantasy world filled with surprising and shocking moments.

    Tactics, action and working together are the pillars of Rainbow Six Siege. Attacking and defending bring endless online fun, especially when you play with people you know in a team. If not, the bugs might make your game somewhat annoying.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X is not the big step forward that Xenoblade on Wii was. But it does leave a big impression with its phenomenally big environments. It is an excellent JRPG that is challenging and refreshing for players that want something different.

    Adding Paper Mario to this fun mix is very balanced. In some cases he is a good choice, but he also makes the attack options bigger for your enemies. Timing is essential and if you do not have it, this game will be an even tougher cookie than it already is. Paper Jam Bros. feels like confetti: colorful with lots of variety and content. To make this party even better, the cutesy dialogues are very funny.

    On console Original Sin is still amazing. New buttons, new content; they are both great. The PC version is still our favorite, as there are less steps needed for the same action. But it does not matter if you have played Original Sin before or you are a new player, it is still a must have thanks to its local co-op and excellent voice acting.

    The huge DLC library does not have a great setup and the compatibility list for controllers does not work perfectly either. It takes so long to get started, and even though playing is still a great experience, all the stuff around it is simply too distracting. Especially because the game does not have a strong online multiplayer or interesting visuals.

    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.

    If you own Bloodborne, you should own The Old Hunters. This add-on offers more enemies, weapons, items and locations to discover and it fits perfectly with the rest of the game. The enemies are meaner and tougher than ever before and that is exactly what we have been asking for.

    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.

    It is easy to be the best if you are the only one, but Ubisoft still works hard on its fluorescent dance franchise. It was a good idea to extend the video content so we can watch people dance from all over the world. The introduction of Just Dance Unlimited is still somewhat small, but it has definitely potential to become a Netflix dance game.

    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.

    The game has its flaws, but when the elements come together this is an amazing Zelda-title that mixes in the best things out of Four Swords. Working together is fun, but it does get boring after a while. To be frank, the matchmaking is bad, there are connectivity issues and this causes so much frustration that it ruins the rest of the game.

    There is less gameplay in this last episode, but the story ends perfectly, accompanied by intense cut-scenes and the biggest choice you ever had to make in this game.

    Guitar Hero Live is the comeback the franchise needed. FMV is used well and the original way of letting you play two hundred songs of free DLC is great. It is a pity though that it does not really feel like you are playing the songs yourself.

    ​343 Industries shows that it is not shy of renewing a franchise so familiar. Especially with Arena, it shows how much quicker and more precise Halo 5 feels.

    WRC 5 offers pleasant driving and all content that you would expect from the official rally game. There are a few bugs that are indeed bugging us, plus visually speaking the game is not as strong as it could be, but any gamer with love for rally driving, will still enjoy every bit of WRC 5.

    AC Syndicate sets quite a few things straight. The game is not big on (technical) innovations, but it's definitely winning when it comes to fun and playability. The best things from past Assassin's Creed-games are back in the form of a light story, the key characters and the gameplay which offers a great balance between street fights and carefully planned Assassinations. Forget Unity, AC is back.

    PlatinumGames combines its successful action-based gameplay with the old cartoon. It will make you nostalgic, but there is no time to stay in the moment as there are a lot of quick and dynamic fights coming your way. The game has some repetition issues and some technical faults, but other than that it is a nice little tribute to Transformers.

    The Nathan Drake Collection is a strong remaster. The issues from the first game are almost all gone and the games look amazing.

    LEGO Dimensions is a bizarre spectacle. It is weird and amazing to see well-known franchises come together, but at the same time this game is full of contradictions. The portal and LEGO figurines are perfect, but the gameplay has the same instability we are accustomed to in this franchise. Thankfully LEGO is one of the best toys to come to life, so TT is definitely going in the right direction with Dimensions.

    NBA 2K16 is the ultimate basketball simulation and an awesome game. The gameplay feels a lot more intelligent and that makes things a lot more challenging and fun.

    Skylanders: Superchargers offers more than just the addition of cars. The game has great changes in gameplay and as always the story flows through the game perfectly. The Skylanders figures seem a bit darker and less nice than they used to, but in-game they have a lot of new attacks to enjoy.

    The gameplay is more realistic than ever before, because EA finally listened to her community.

    It is lovely seeing Nook again, but this Animal Crossing is a disappointment. It is fun to design homes in the upbeat world of Animal Crossing, but there are just no challenges in this game.

    PES 2016 is a delightful soccer game in which Konami found the ideal balance between simulation and arcade gameplay. The addition of a great amount of animations does not only make the game look awesome, it also brings depth into the gameplay.

    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.

    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.

    Lara Croft GO is a perfect on-the-go game. The loungey music and the fact that things only happen when you step forward, makes it a very relaxing game to play.

    Disney Infinity 3.0 is a nice new addition to the fun and cute series, although it could have been better.

    99 percent of videogames are built on video game conventions we all know well.

    The 'HD' part in this title is a lie, but Square Enix does make up for it. Type-O is the refreshment that the FF-franchise can use. Both gameplay and story show courage, with its dynamic fighting system and the story that often gets really dark. It is not perfect, but Final Fantasy Type-0 definitely is a game that fits in the franchise.

    If you play Hardline like you'd play Battlefield 4, in Conquest, it feels like Battlefield light without tanks or jets. The multiplayer offers a way more interesting gameplay, as the strong base gets a few fun new modes. The cops 'n robbers-thing Hardline does may have felt like a lighthearted experiment; it gets pretty clear that the theme fits perfectly with the compact action and that higher tempo, which makes this game more than just a snack.

    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.

    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.

    OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood is a game that takes you skyhigh just to drop you down painfully. This hardcore game needs perfect timing, offers a great diversity in surroundings and a great soundtrack. Too bad the local multiplayer is not added to this awesome game yet.

    Valley of the Yetis is without a doubt the biggest downloadable content for Far Cry 4. The snowy valleys are a great place to spend your time, and the nightly defense missions and the yeti are a great addition to the original gameplay. The yeti could have been a tad more challenging though.

    Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is as stylish, sick and hypnotizing as its predecessor but at some points things go south. The levels are too chaotic and the characters limit your playstyle.

    Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a beautiful JRPG with a few interesting twists to the genre. The fighting system works great and building up your own clan while having the pressure of time makes it more interesting. Although that time pressure does come with some old-fashioned frustration.

    Mario Party 10 is meant to be for every player, and therefore it has lost some of its evil ways. That does make it more accessible for new gamers. The Amiibo mode is more classic, but unfortunately you need the figurines for that.

    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters may impress when it comes to its mature storytelling and themes, it does not fully deliver those things. This is a weak mix between a visual novel and a strategic RPG full of useless minigames.
