Dragon Quest Builders seems to get a lot of "inspiration" from Minecraft, but thanks to the quests this game has a bigger purpose.

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.

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.
