    Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game is a collection of sport games that perfectly capture the essence of the old Track ‘n Field series, mixed with the easygoing sport games from 20 years ago. The game is not perfect by any means, and the lack of depth does make it an ill-fit for lone players. But if you are looking for a fun and competitive yet easy to play sports game for both family and friends – this is it.

    Lego Worlds could've been the ultimate Lego game. The Minecraft inspired design is perfect for this type of game, and the game promise endless possibilities. But some bad design choices holds it back. Minecraft is still the obvious choice in the genre.

    When the old Gameboy Advance game Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team get a Switch-remake the new shiny graphics makes a great first impression. The gameplay has been also improved, but not to the same extent sadly. There was a lot of questionable game design in the original game, and a lot of the old problems are still here. However, if you are a Pokémon fanatic who doesn't care what the pocket monsters do, there is a pretty big chance you will like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX. For everyone else, there are plenty of better games to choose from on the Nintendo Switch.

    The amount of new content on display here doesn’t make up for a subpar single-player, a still lackluster multiplayer and an absolutely abhorrent use of microtransactions.

    Battleborn offers a somewhat unique take on online based shooters by mixing in elements from Moba. The combination makes for some interesting battles where team work is just as important as a good aim. Add a surprisingly robust story mode and you will have plenty of fun ahead of you, even though the game is light on content and could use some polish all around.

    Battlefield 2042 is huge. In its best moments enormously fun, but just as often enormously frustrating, stressful and difficult to understand. All levers are at max in this game, which is a clear change from the previous games in the series. Whether you will like it or not is impossible to answer.

    Mafia 3 is the definition of a mixed bag. At times it is a great experience with a compelling story, interesting characters and an exciting world to discover. But after a few hours the game falls into a repetitive grind with the same type of mission over and over again. It is still an okay game, but it could have been so much more.

    It is certainly not difficult to find faults in Gravel. On the other hand, it's just as easy to put the pedal to the metal and enjoy the wonderfully exaggerated races. Rarely has a racing game been this fun and varied, although It could – and maybe should – have been better in a lot of ways.

    Marvel's Avengers portrays the superhero theme from a whole new perspective, and it's really refreshing. During the cinematic missions the game really is everything we wanted from an Avengers game, with flashy attacks and rock-hard action like the movies it was inspired by. However, the multiplayer focus means that some annoyances penetrate into our offline sessions.

    Apparently, Yu Suzuki's own vision for the open world genre did not match what the latter came to be. But we do give him credit for choosing to stay on the route that fans expect. In the end, this is still a Kickstarter-funded product would not exist without the fans. What the rest of us think of outdated controls, confined environments that pretend to be open-world-like and mediocre voiceover efforts is secondary. For anyone who has waited to continue the story of Ryo's journey in pursuit of his father's killer, it's the most important event of years to come. For everyone else, it was Friday.

    Disintegration is an interesting mix of action and strategy. Although the emphasis is on action, the gameplay still feels unique enough to make the game stand out in an enjoyable way. In the end, however, the game falls short of its potential; there is just too many flaws and limitations. If you think the concept looks exciting Disintegration is still worth a try, at least after a few updates and when the price tag has been reduced.

    Potata: Fairy Flower is a cheerful little adventure filled with tricky platforming, puzzles, and challenging boss battles. It will not win any awards for originality and it falls flat compared to the top games in the genre. But in the end, some missteps do not stop Potata: Fairy Flower from being a surprisingly enjoyable experience for the whole family.

    Biomutant is an odd and brave addition to the action role-playing game genre, but is plagued by substandard storytelling and repetitive elements. The smart system for weapons and the equipment construction are the games salvation. As a whole though, the game does not live up to the hype.

    On the one hand, Darius Cozmic Collection Console deserves praise for giving us access to nine rare and classic shoot 'em ups. Nine titles that, for the most part, hold a high standard to this day. On the other hand, the collection deserves to be criticized since several of the included games are nothing more than regional repeats. The lack of settings and bonus content is also disappointing. The collection is still a must have for big fans of the genre, but if you just want an old-school shoot ‘em up there are better and cheaper options.

    Although Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers uses the same graphics from HD Remix, it’s got enough content to stand on it’s own. But we wonder why they included the atrocious Way of the Hado mini game instead of putting those resources to the main game.

    DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power is a bit of a mixed experience. The first impression is really good with nice graphics and fun battles, but the more we play the more cracks we see in the facade. The game does not nail the humor of the TV series, the battles are often overly messy, and some technical problems hampers experience. But despite all of the problems, we still have fun when we make our way around around Metropolis - even if the experience is more reminiscent of a licensed kid’s game than the giants of the genre.

    Paradise Lost takes us an abandoned yet magnificent bunker. With underground palaces, shopping streets and lush gardens, there is no shortage of memorable places to discover. Unfortunately, the storytelling is lacking, and it takes a while before the story gets somewhat interesting. All in all, Paradise Lost is a bland experience that is further hampered by some technical problems, but thanks to the beautiful environments together with a relatively low price, the bunker is still worth visiting for fans of the genre.

    If you are planning to play Metroid Prime: Federation Force alone or even online it leaves a lot to wish for. However, with three friends playing together in the same room it can be pretty great. Just do not expect much of a “Metroid” experience.

    It’s better than its predecessor, but The Crew 2 never really reaches its potential – mainly due to some underwhelming level design and a badly written story. However, in the end, The Crew 2 is an entertaining game, and a good choice for those who are looking for a racing game with big variation.

    A bit of a technical mess, but Darksiders III manage to entertain, mainly thanks to a great combat system, and well-designed bosses.

    With interpretations of five classic titles, 198X is a loving tribute to the gaming world in the 80s and 90s. The graphics and sound of each game excel, but a weak story and a total playtime of less than two hours, makes the experience abrupt and incoherent. Hopefully, part two will solve the problems that exist, because the foundation is promising.

    Recore is one of those games that sounds better than it is. It’s an interesting fusion of genres, the story is well written and the world is beautiful. But the gameplay gets a bit monotonous after a couple of hours and the level design feels uninspired. Still, with the price tag in mind, its might be worth a closer look if you looking for a solid action adventure game.

    Agents of Mayhem is a gorgeous slaughterfest filled to the brim with gadgets, silly one-liners and special effects. Is it fun? Absolutely! Is it freakin' awesome? Nah. Technological glitches and a stroke of repetitiveness prevents this game from netting a place among the must-buys of 2017.

    For those who want a realistic handheld racing game, Moto GP 19 for Switch is an accepted alternative. It looks fine and is packed with content. However, if you intend to play on a television, we would rather recommend the other versions of the game.

    Unfortunately, many of the previous versions' flaws are still in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, and some new ones have been added. The game is a bit neat and we do like some elements. But there are too many bugs and a great lack of depth for us to be drawn into the large and relatively deserted game world of Aurora.

    With gorgeous graphics and meaty battles, Godfall has a good chance to become a popular launch title. It does not matter that the game severely lacks variety and a decent story, when we get new flashy graphics. The problem for Godfall is that there are plenty of other launch games for Playstation 5, games that offer more than just nice graphics and great control. Actions fans might still find plenty to like here, but wait for a sale.

    It has been almost 20 years since Parappa the Rapper, and many of us still have good memories from it. Sadly, Parappa the Rapper doesn't hold up in 2017, mostly because some really poor mechanics. Do yourself a favor: don't buy this, and keep the memories as they were.

    Despite some strange and frustrating features, Need for Speed Payback gives you challenging races in a world that is surprisingly relaxing to explore. Although Forza Horizon 2 and 3 offer a similar but more refined experience, Ghost Games has included enough unique features to make their latest title feel like something more than a pale copy.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a party-oriented wrestling game with simple controls and deformed wrestlers. A package that works surprisingly well thanks to quick and flashy matches. However, the lack of depth is apparent, and it is difficult to ignore all the microtransaction - even if they are optional. It is still a fun party game, especially for the fans, but wait for a price drop.

    Not your typical Metal Gear, but a bold move for the series. Great controls and visuals, bur the survival aspect is not unique and will not appeal to all fans.
