Rayman: Legends continues where its predecessors left off, and does so magically. The levels revolve around tempo and timing, are dynamic, keep renewing themselves and the difficulty level is slowly amped up throughout the game. And at the end of every setting, there’s a phenomenally good musical level. If you have the luxury of buying the Wii U version: do so. The Murphy levels make excellent use of the Gamepad.

For less money than an average pencil set you’re getting a realistic drawing simulation. Drawing on the GamePad feels as close to real life drawing as you can get. All the different tools feel exactly like you expect they would. Unfortunately it’s not possible to quickly erase mistakes and there aren’t any layers to play around with. This might improve the realism, but it harms the usability of the simulation.

Disney Infinity might be the dream game of any child, but at the same time it’s the nightmare for every parent. The content the game delivers is plentiful, but the fun really starts when you start buying new figurines. A great move by Disney, but a bad one for our wallets.

A sparkling game full of cute character, funny situations and spectacular boss battles. It’s a shame the bad recognition of symbols sometimes get in the way of the chaotic and fast gameplay. And the game sometimes gets frustrating when new enemies kill you before you even get a chance to find out their weaknesses. But despite it all, Platinum Games delivers a solid title that is interesting and beautiful in many ways.

A fun free game with a simple goal. By collecting money and upgrading your soldier, you’ll offer more and more resistance to enemy troops. Peacekeepers might not have a lot of depth or the most originality, but it’s definitely worth a try.

It offers a glimpse in the history of XCOM through a tactical third person shooter, without becoming a simple mindless shooter. The Bureau requires a good amount of tactical thinking, which really makes it feel like a true XCOM game. Lack of strategy, however, might make the game less appealing to some XCOM fans, but the majority of players will revel in the tactical gameplay.

Saints Row 4 is a bizarre open world game that never takes itself serious. The game has strong dialogue, a great soundtrack and the open world gameplay offers a lot of creativity and freedom. It’s, however, never really original and fans of the first two games in the series might want to steer clear of this game. But if you’re looking for a playground in which you can do whatever you want, you’ll have a blast with Saints Row 4.

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.

Clash in the Clouds is a good example of what DLC should be like. Instead of bringing more of the same, it does something completely new. It makes you experience Bioshock: Infinite from a completely different perspective en pushes you to do the best you can. Even if you get through all four arena’s and manage to get every collectible, there’s still the challenge of beating your high score.

A world full of darkness and fantasy combined with a fascinating story makes Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons a memorable experience. The controls can be quite difficult, despite the low difficulty of the game itself, and the game is a bit on the short side. Yet, the game has the right idea and links a convincing world to it.

Without a doubt one of the coolest cooperative games this year. Unlocking new skills and gears is addicting and fun, and the game demands good cooperation if you wish to succeed. The crime.net system mixes up the missions just enough that it stays fun and challenging. The game isn’t made to play by yourself and there are some balancing issues, but despite these issues Payday 2 is highly recommended for every aspiring criminal.

It brings the three different play styles together effortlessly, without selling one short. By handing out points after a mission based on how you play it, you keep coming back to set a higher score. It’s a shame the story lacks depth and graphically the game can’t play with the big boys, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’ll get a lot of stealthy pleasure out of this game.

The many challenges ibb & obb offer make for many hours of co-op fun and give puzzle aficionados are real challenge. The game turns the player upside down and the beautiful visuals and music make ibb & obb a blast to play. It could’ve been even better with a good hint system and an alternative for voice chat. It might not be the new Braid or Journey, but with ingenious puzzles and a great visual style Dutch indie studio Sparpweed puts itself on the map.

The cutscenes are a bit too lengthy and tedious at times, but this is the only downside to DuckTales: Remastered. This is a remake that will go down well with old and new players alike, and gives you a feel-good vibe through carefully executed gameplay, stunning visuals and up-beat music. Getting a better score and unlocking new concept art will make sure you'll replay every segment over and over.

Stealth Inc. can be horribly frustrating, because you can't know what'll happen in advance to you hitting that switch. A quick death is therefore always lurking around the corner. Ironically it is at its funniest when breaking the fourth wall and rubbing your mistakes in your face. Whoever won't blow up from dying time and time again, and has the patience to learn from their mistakes, could have a lot of fun with Stealth Inc. A Clone in the Dark.

It's a shame that Kokuga hasn't realized its potential because it was developed for Nintendo 3DS. The lack of a second stick makes your vehicle less flexible than you'd like and the many enemies often don't fit on the screen. Having said that: the pacing has been slowed down a tad and levels don't scroll along automatically, which works perfectly with the flaws of the 3DS. Aside from that, the card system work sublimely and provides the game with a tactical dimension. It helps Kokuga draw the maximum out of the handheld, so it'll offer you a full fledged experience at a digital price.

Star Wars Pinball is everything you'd expect from a pinball-game by Zen Studios, and more. The cabinets are brilliantly designed and are bursting at the seams with detail. From the simple R2-D2 bumpers to screen filling lightsaber duels and atmospheric sound effects or even fragments from the move, everything really breaths a love for Star Wars. Except maybe the price, because ten Euros for three cabinets is just way too much, even for the biggest Star Wars fan.

Vengeance equals a visit to your local snackbar. The fries (four new maps) are well fried, but there's a soggy one there in the form of Detour. Thankfully Buried, the hamburger special, is very good and fills the hungry gamers stomach up well. That's what it's about in the end.

Dynasty Warriors 8 is more of the same, but better. Changes have been made that make fights more varied, like the affinity-system and rage-mode. There are many weapons to collect and officers to unlock, so there's enough to do. All storylines will keep you busy for more than twenty hours, and then there's the Ambition Mode. For fans of the series this is the best one in years. For critics it's the same dumb game. Typical Dynasty Warriors.

Behind the innocence of its title and somewhat dull appearance, hides an excellent and varied platform game with a unique concept. The randomness doesn't feel as random after a few hundred levels, but before you've reached that point you'll have visited the clouds multiple times with Cloudberry Kingdom.

Urban Style Freestyle isn’t just a cosmetic trip to the urban environments. It adds a whole new dimension to the addicting gameplay with the added Stunt Mode. Unfortunately the impact of this addition isn’t as big as you’d expect. Because of the lower difficulty and the low amount of levels the game can be finished in under four hours, completely. Even the track editor can’t change that.

Project X Zone is a decent turn based strategy game, in which the recognizable characters obviously are the most it’s got going for it. That’s also its biggest issue: if you’re not familiar with games such as The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, then many parts of the game aren’t appealing to you anymore, or even not understandable at all. If you do know characters like Hsien-Ko, KOS-MOS and Kurt Irving, this point of critique doesn’t apply to you.

Strategically speaking, Pimin 3 is the strongest part in the series. The levels are tenuously constructed, and blossom into more complex environments slowly but surely. You’ll miss a cooperative mode, and some of the Pikmin trail behind stupidly from time to time, but you will look past these problems because of all the other things it has to offer.

Scourge: Outbreak does so many things badly that it’s become impossible to excuse. It might even be the poster child for everything that’s wrong with the current shooter landscape. The low price softens the blow, but this can’t be the excuse to release a game where so much simply isn’t finished or doesn’t work.

The MotoGP franchise is back on track with 13. After years of disaster after disaster we finally have an installment of which the base works greatly. There’s enough to do in the career mode and the racing sensation is quite strong. There are technical imperfections that’ll drag you out of the experience, along with a meager appearance.

Dark is boring, frustrating and unappealing. It doesn’t play well, the characters aren’t interesting and the story is just dumb. Don’t even bother with this one.

The small group of people chomping at the bits for a new Painkiller would do well to play Hell and Damnation on a PC. The console-version is ugly, doesn't play well and is a technical mess. Hell will freeze over before you can get a full mutliplayer match going, which says enough.

Kingdom Rush is varied, deep and accessible. You'll easily entertain yourself for hours on end with it. A truly great iOS game.
