Treyarch gives us more than our money's worth with an innovative Call of Duty entry that ups the ante in every possible way.

Far Cry 5's setting is stellar and good for a tremendous amount of entertaining gameplay.

Beautiful graphics, an intriguing singleplayer campaign and rock-solid multiplayer modes that deliver in every way imaginable... Battlefield 1 is the best game the franchise has delivered in years.

Isaac Clarke's original adventure is back in a new format, which has more depth in story and freedom in terms of gameplay. As a result, the game is recognizable, yet not the same which makes for a nice result. The game also has impressive graphics and the audio is unnervingly strong. That the game has some minor flaws we take for granted, because this horror adventure is recommended to everyone.

FIFA 17 is wonderful; the graphics are improved, the gameplay works better and The Journey is an interesting addition.

Forget all previous iterations, this game sets the new franchise standard in which story, combat and exploration are expertly interwoven in spectacular fashion.

Atreus is a great addition and together with the new approach to gameplay the latest PlayStation 4 God of War game feels like a breath of fresh air. An unmissable must-play.

Borderlands 3 is more of the same in the best possible way, while some small tweaks to gunplay and exploration - being able to fight your way through multiple planets is invigorating - are welcome additions to the franchise.

Rise of the Ronin shows that Team Ninja knows perfectly well what they are doing. The game presents you with an engaging story with interesting characters where your choices affect the course. The gameplay is excellent thanks to the accessible but in-depth combat and there is plenty to experience in the game world. Only graphically the game is not very impressive compared to other PS5 exclusives, but that should not spoil the fun. Rise of the Ronin is yet another recommended game this year.

Remedy Entertainment is back with a great game, sporting an intriguing story, solid gameplay and excellent graphics. The sporadic frame drops are a bit of a letdown, but in the end you won't be too bothered about this. Sincerely recommended.

By delivering an even better, prettier and more refined game than last year, Pro Evolution Soccer keeps paving the way to the perfect football game.

Visually impressive and superbly executed, The Outer Worlds is the type of RPG experience that dreams are made of. As soon as the credits roll, you’ll find yourself wanting more. In this case, that’s a compliment.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and honours one of the greatest RPGs of all time with another fantastic reimagination. The story is still as enticing and entertaining as it was before, but the unknown variables that this version adds to that, turn Rebirth into an entirely new adventure, even for fans of the original. There’s lots of stuff to do (fun minigames and side quests) and you won’t be bored, despite some areas being a bit too ‘empty’ from time to time and some blurry visuals. These are minor issues though, because Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a must-play in the genre.

This new installment takes a step forward in gameplay, making it feel both familiar and fresh. Moreover, the game has been provided with enough depth, giving enthusiasts plenty to explore again without losing sight of newcomers thanks to accessibility. Audiovisually, it's also excellent, though the base game still feels a bit light in content, but that will be supplemented in time. In short, an excellent strategic game.

Thumper is a fast-paced experience that will challenge you. It plays well in virtual reality and looks great. Long story short: one of the better - if not the best - PlayStation VR launch games out there.

Innovative, unique and straight-up impressive in the gameplay department... Ubisoft has created a masterpiece. Yet nobody's perfect, as both the story and graphics could have been done better.

Diablo IV effortlessly combines the best that the series has to offer. Including decades of refinement to it's successful formula, the freedom to endlessly experiment with your builds and loads of varied content. It’s visually stunning and it sounds amazing. Diablo IV exceeds our expectations, delivers on the hype and has us tight in it’s addictive and demonic grip.

This is one of the few truly unique titles on the PlayStation Vita and you should definitely buy it. It's not perfect - save synching doesn't work the way it should and we sure would have wanted some more albums to lengthen the running time - but then again: nothing really is.

Metaphor ReFantazio comes with an interesting story, an outstanding soundtrack, beautiful visual style, engaging gameplay and an exciting adventure. Everything you expect from the game is delivered with a wonderful package that guarantees hours of fun. For this developer, it's mostly more of the same, as it doesn't do anything truly original, but what it does is top notch.

PES 2018 is more refined as its predecessor, delivering a smoother experience for both hardcore and casual soccer fans.

Starfield is a fantastic game from Bethesda. There is an awful lot to do and experience in the universe, the freedom you get is extraordinary, it looks stunning, the gameplay is top notch and we could go on and on. There are some bugs here and there, like the NPC's look a bit unnatural, but these are actually small blemishes on an otherwise very good and fun RPG. An absolute must have if you like action RPGs at all.

It took a long time, but Bayonetta is back with a fantastic adventure. The story drags you in and the gameplay provides you with delightful action scenes thanks to in-depth combat and plenty of other things to do, to keep you entertained. Add to that an excellent soundtrack and you will enjoy it to the fullest. Other than that, Bayonetta 3 has some minor flaws, but they are nothing serious compared to the overall package. A highly recommended game.

Some texture problems and a handful of uninspired sidequests aren't enough to derail Final Fantasy VII in the slightest. This remake respects the hell out of the original, reinventing one of the most legendary RPGs ever made for a modern audience. Satisfying combat, phenomenal bossfights and impressive visuals... that's what you sign up for when you give this new version of Final Fantasy VII a chance.

Nex Machina might be Housemarque's best game so far. There's a lot of fun to be had here, especially in Arena Mode. If you're at all interested, don't hesitate.

Excellent gameplay once again, a decent story, highly customizable characters and fantastic gameplay tweaks ensure this franchise isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The online multiplayer is awesome as we've grown to expect from Mortal Kombat. The number of new characters might be a little sparse but don't let that keep you away from yet another fantastic game. A must buy for fans of the franchise.

NHL 14 doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel, but then again... it doesn't need to. Deep controls that are both challenging and accessible make for an excellent hockey simulation, strengthened by a large variety of game modes, state-of-the-art visuals and top-notch commentary tracks. If you're into hockey, you owe it to yourself to give NHL 14 a shot.

Tearaway truly comes into its own on PlayStation 4. It's still an amazing adventure that - in this edition - uses the abilities of the Dualshock 4 in very interesting ways.

Puppeteer is a unique game with extraordinary characters, bizarre levels and a highly dreamy atmosphere. The story's a lot of fun, the humor's enticing and the soundtrack truly wonderful. The lack of co-op features is a shame, though.

This expansion brings a phenomenal story set in a fun new environment and offers Trials that are truly worth your time and effort. When push comes to shove, however, Shadowbringers is mainly more of the same in a good way.

Vicarious Visions delivers what everyone wished for and then some. Offering classic gameplay with some necessary tweaks and innovations, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a phenomenal experience, worth playing for fans of the old games and newcomers alike.

We can't say why Dishonored exceeds all expectations in a few sentences. Just buy it and lose yourself into the city of Dunwall, the most interesting videogame setting since BioShock's Rapture.

We've gotten quite emotionally invested into the characters of this great videogame series and now Telltale delivers a worthy pay-off. You won't forget this anytime soon, we promise - and neither will you regret a purchase.

A suitable epilogue in which we say our goodbye's to Telltale's Walking Dead and it's all thanks to Skybound. The story, the pacing and the events make sure there is no time for quiet contemplation in this final episode and it's all the better for it. The story's primary focus on AJ works makes for the best conclusion the series could have ever had. We'll miss you!

The Pokémon game that we have been waiting for for years is finally here! A large gaming world full of fun references, cool and addictive gameplay, good challenges, and we could go on and on. Graphically, it's not a very pretty game and certain small things could have been better, but believe us when we say that you can easily look past that. It is the almost sublime gameplay that really stands out here. For newcomers and fans alike, this is a must-have.

The story of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 drags you into an adventure that won't bore you for a second during 70 hours of gameplay. The different characters are varied and all very engaging. The soundtrack is magnificent and the world has a lot to discover and do. The combat also has enough to offer to keep you entertained for a long time and although battles are sometimes a bit too chaotic, this is something you can live with. You do have to take into account a relatively low resolution, but that is mainly due to the hardware. That being said, this is a must-have for the Nintendo Switch that you can buy blindly.

Marvel's Spider-Man for PS4 is a great way to experience the diverse and unique world of Spider-Man. The game looks amazing, it's well-written, funny and is absolute a pleasure to play. It is by far the best entry in the Spider-Man gaming franchise to date. This game has great depth and so many things to do, it will keep you occupied for a long while.

The blue bomber returns and he never looked any better. Challenging gameplay is not new to the franchise but to those who love Mega Man for it, an excellent adventure awaits. The new additions freshen things up as does Mega Man's new look. Although some levels are considerably less interesting that others, it is something we'll gladly overlook. Because no matter which way you look at it; Mega Man 11 is a total blast from start to finish- pun intended.

Alan Wake II scores sublimely on almost all counts. The story is rock solid, the atmosphere is incredibly creepy, the level design is wonderfully strong and technically it is impressive. That some minor details and gameplay elements then stand out from the rest, however, is so minimalistic that the end result stands as strong as a house. Fan of the franchise, of horror games or up for a psychological thriller trip, Alan Wake II is the game to go for.

The PlayStation 4 version is an excellent conversion from an already great PC game. Very engaging gameplay with plenty of lore to discover. Great humor, lots of challenge and we could go on and on about its qualities. The graphical performance isn't consistent however but that shouldn't detract you from what is a fantastic game. You need to play this game.

This highly addictive RPG experience will keep you hooked in front of your TV for a very long time.

The exosuit launches the series to new, refreshing and necessary heights, giving both single- and multiplayer a major leg up. Let's also give a shout-out to Kevin Spacey, who truly amazes in the role of ultimate bad guy Jonathan Irons.

Strider returns victorious. Great boss fights, responsive controls, interesting level design... those are only some of the elements that make this side-scroller such a success.

The compelling story makes this sequel worthwhile in its own right, and what complements this is the fantastic and varied gameplay. With plenty of content, Lost Judgment is well equipped to keep you entertained for a long time, and last but not least, we must not fail to mention the audio, which is top notch. The Dragon Engine however does show its age a little, but that's fine.

More realistic. More emotional. Less predictable. Sounds great, doesn't it? It is.

A great puzzle experience with brilliant level design and a unique visual style. If you like this sort of game, you can't miss out on the Swapper.

If the franchise's wonderful conversion to 2,5D is the exceptionally juicy cake, the engaging story, colourful worlds and strong level design form the delicious layer of icing on top.

A tribute to the eighties, Hotline Miami impresses with a fantastic soundtrack, dito graphics and a fair amount of challenge to keep hardcore gamers busy for days to come.

A game that needs to be played in an old school manner and -ironically- is all the better for it. The story is the main focal point and luckily the game does not disappoint in this department. In fact, we feel everybody should experience it - it really is that special. From an audiovisual standpoint there is nothing worth noting in particular but don't be deceived: Forgotten Anne is an original and beautiful title that deserves every minute of your time.

This game once started as a great MiNi and is now transformed into a great title for the PlayStation Vita. It's an addicting an challenging experience that will stay with you for a long time. An annoying bug may temper the excitement somewhat, but ultimately, that is of little importance.

If all you ever dreamt of is to starr in a Ghibli movie – to be cartoonified and just be able to control whatever happens – you shouldn’t miss out on Ni No Kuni. It features extensive gameplay amidst an atmospheric world topped with a compelling story. It has everything a modern RPG needs to satisfy a gamer’s every need.

We've been waiting for it for a long time, but The Witness is ultimately worth it. The puzzles offer a lot of challenge and the wonderfully-realized, yet mysterious world is a lot of fun to hang out in. If you're into the genre, you shouldn't hesitate.

After the Mortal Kombat reboot and Injustice: Gods Among Us, NetherRealm Studios again delivers with a jam-packed fighting game with interesting characters, a fantastic combat system and a truly enjoyable story mode. Keep up the good work, please.

Unparalleled gameplay makes DiRT Rally 2.0 Codemasters' ultimate 2019 rally simulator. The game offers challenging stages, the difficulty setting is variable which makes the game just a tad more accessible this time around. The audio is fantastic, the cars look great and we could praise this game for pretty much everything it does. More locations would have been nice but don't let that stop you from buying the best rally game that is currently out there.

NBA 2K17 isn't the most forgiving experience for newcomers to the franchise, but if you know your virtual basketball, this is the one and only place to be this year.

SEGA strikes again, with a refreshing take on the popular Yakuza franchise. The great story (with decent English-speaking voice actors this time!) will draw you in and the engaging detective gameplay will keep you playing for a long time to come. The graphical glitches are a shame, though... But don't let that stop you from buying Judgment.

We had to wait 6 years for it, but it will be rewarded. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is bigger, better, more fun, more varied and more exciting than its predecessor. The game features gorgeous music, huge variety in gameplay and creative new abilities that open up many new possibilities. In terms of performance, the age of the handheld does begin to take its toll, for example, the performance is not optimal. In addition, the dungeons are not that special, but that is the only thing to note about an otherwise sublime game. In short: everyone who owns a Nintendo Switch must buy this game.

With the second installment, Kojima builds on the basics of the original, but also manages to surprise with a rock-solid story, memorable characters, a beautiful game world, lots of features and so on. It's Kojima all over again, resulting in a brilliant game that's absolutely worth playing, with the note that the combat feels a bit uncomfortable, but that's okay considering the overall quality is top notch.

Guitar Hero's long-awaited comeback hits every necessary mark and will have you rocking into the sunset for ages to come.

NBA 2K13 proves that soccer games are not the only ones nearing perfection. This game offers a great virtual basketball experience, with smooth controls, a strong graphical presentation and an enormous amount of content.

The fourth episode of Telltale's The Walking Dead game series delivers in the same way the others did: telling a great, emotional story and offering the player some really tough choices along the way. If you've enjoyed the previous outings, you shouldn't allow yourself to miss out on this one.

This out-of-the-box and challenging puzzle game was brilliant before and it's even beter on PS4.

A remake that is outstanding on every level. The pacing is nice, the combat system is good, the story is strong, graphically it is beautiful, the soundtrack is cool and the voice-acting fine. It's a shame though that the FES and Portable content is not present, because that would have really completed the package. Also, in terms of design, the dungeons can get a bit monotonous over time, but that's literally the only 'downside'. In short, Persona 3 Reload is not something you want to miss!

Tekken 8 brings everything you desire from a new game in the franchise. A fantastic story mode, lots of options, fighters and possibilities. Fine, refreshing gameplay and good online functionalities. The few minor downsides the game has are that the character customization isn't that captivating and the rollback netcode could be just a little bit better for the perfect experience. That being said, Tekken 8 is a must have.

An awesome puzzle game with a fascinating style and a dark, but intriguing storyline. Fans of Limbo shouldn't hesitate.

A new story, a new setting, new mini-games (which are games in themselves), a good balance between drama and humor, delightful combat, strong presentation.... It is a sample of the many positives of this game. Ryu Ga Gotoku delivers an excellent game that is absolutely worth playing. That the game puts New Game+ behind a paywall, however, is a shame, but fortunately it offers enough content to see past that snafu. Fan or no fan of Like a Dragon: a must have.

This episode continues the trend of being more interactive and the ability to react a bit more proactively. That's a good thing just like the increased amount of references to previous seasons and to the comics. Audiovisually it's in a fine shape and overall this is a fantastic episode, though not technically perfect.

Well, what do you know? Vehicles do make an excellent addition to an already great franchise.

NBA 2K takes a couple of steps forwards with subtle improvements, beautiful graphics and a huge amount of content.

If you bought a PlayStation VR, RIGS is a must-buy launch title.

A unique puzzle game with great visuals, ditto with sound design and brilliantly thought-out levels. The frame drops get annoying at times, but fortunately this never breaks the experience.

Once more, NetherRealm hits it out of the park. Injustice 2 feels like a natural successor to its predecessor - bigger, better and bolder, with an in-depth RPG-like customization system to boot. Get this, if you haven't already.

The Super Mario RPG was an excellent game at the time and nothing has changed. Even now it is a delightful title to play and even more enjoyable thanks to the audiovisual improvements. In terms of remake, when it comes to new features, the title plays a bit on the safe side, but in return is a wonderful adventure that won't bore you for a second.

A truly engaging story told in a unique visual style... there's really not much wrong with Valiant Hearts, even if its replay value isn't all that valiant.

A wonderful traditional fighting game with fantastic (online) gameplay and stunning visuals, that disappoints only a bit in its small roster of characters.

Giant Sparrow delivers again, with an atmospheric and unique walking simulator that will occupy your thoughts for a long while.

Top of the league in every possible aspect, Unruly Heroes is a game that will have you enthralled in front of your TV-screen for all of its runtime.

A unique take on the apocalypse that must be experienced to be believed.

Sonic Generations returns in the form of a remaster as well as a new game starring Shadow. A somewhat unusual combination, but it works out extremely well. The levels are fantastic, the technical improvements are excellent and the performance is top notch. Moreover, the purchase price is very reasonable considering what you get in return in terms of content. Lover of the original game or just a fan of Sonic in general? Then this is definitely recommended.

Transistor puts a unique spin on the turn-based RPG concept everyone loves and, surprisingly, pulls it off. The game has a steep learning curve, but strong visuals and an interesting story will keep you playing.

Advance Wars' tactical gameplay proves timeless. Twenty years after the release of the second game, playing both games is still enjoyable. What's more, you get a lot of content, allowing you dozens of hours ahead, and all of that is complimented by a delightful soundtrack and fantastic gameplay. Visually, the new 3D concept does not come across completely perfect and the challenge can be a bit trial and error, but these are points you can certainly live with thanks to the extremely potent overall package that every fan of the franchise should have. Newcomer and up for strategic titles? Even then it's a no brainer.

Housemarque's first triple A game does just about everything right, with an intriguing story and wonderful world that's begging to be explored. Add some truly memorable boss encounters to the mix and you won't be surprised to realize that Returnal may just be the PlayStation 5's first genuine must have.

A lot of the pieces in this elaborately crafted game of chess are finally starting to move towards what can only end up being quite spectacular climaxes. Oh, and it feels damn good to finally fight back.

Based on the hilariously over-the-top action movies from the eighties, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon knocks it out of the park. It's a great futuristic shooter resembling Far Cry 3 in gameplay and adding a huge amount of cheesy oneliners, dumb action and cheap entertainment. Blood Dragon is a lot of fun and an experience you won't forget anytime soon.

Wonderfully over-the-top and insanely brutal, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus pulls no punches and quickly turns into one of the best shooters of the year.

A fantastic collection that is an unmissable purchase to everybody who holds the Street Fighter franchise close to their heart. The best four titles are fully playable online and provide an unlimited amount of replayability. The extra features are an absolute treat as well and make this the best Street Fighter Collection available by far. Get ready to face some stiff competition though because some people have never stopped playing these titles.

To the naysayers: Call of Duty is back in a big way, paradoxically delving back into the past to present a fresher narrative and gameplay experience than we've not seen in years.

Gigantic world, intriguing story, enjoyable combat and quest overload... that's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. An action RPG fan's dream come true.

It's a bit short and it doesn't look as good as its console counterpart, but other than that this is a great portable LBP game. You'll be making levels from the palm of your hand now... and you'll be surprised at how well it works.

A fantastic game everyone should give a try. Be warned, though - you might just end up losing a big part of your social life and spend it (literally) walking around the vast continent of Pandora.
