Bruce Wayne once more claims the spotlight in an interesting hour of Gotham action, but technically, the game's once more a mess. This needs to change, sooner rather than later.

The interesting story keeps you playing, while the expertly built tension keeps you glued to the edge of your seat. However, the main gameplay gimmick of switching between characters doesn't really add much to the equation, leaving the overall experience to feel rather hollow.

Old-school gameplay with new-school graphics and a lot of (rude) humour... Sign us up!

As an interactive movie, you could do a lot worse than Hidden Agenda. However, technical issues and a number of unsatisfying endings are flaws that deserve to be mentioned.

Well, this is a bit of a disappointment... The story isn't as gripping as it could have been, the game feels rushed and the visuals aren't as good as you'd expect. It offers closure for the fans, sure, but as the final part of an epic trilogy it doesn't even come close to the mark.

Real golf fans might like the experience, as well as the elaborate level editor that is included. The lack of a proper tutorial makes it rather difficult for newcomers, however, while slow menus and an annoying amount of facedrops bring the game down for just about anyone. There's some potential here, though.

Detective Pikachu Returns is a fun game to play if you're a kid. For adults it's way too easy and graphically it doesn't impress one moment. It's also kind of stupid that the game doesn't have localisation in every country when its targeting kids as the main audience. A bit of shame, since the core of the game can be fun and charismatic.

You'd expect a lot of progress when a developer transitions to a newer engine but the opposite holds true for MotoGP 18. Load times are excruciating and visually the game is mediocre at best. Gameplay remains largely the same as previous editions and is anything but innovative. Unbelievably, the Managerial Career mode from the previous game is absent much to the detriment of MotoGP 18. This game definitely takes some steps back so we'd suggest sticking to MotoGP 17.

Battlezone is at its best when played in co-op. Its graphics are neat, its sound design solid and the illusion of driving a tank around is expertly crafted - provided you're not prone to motion sickness. However, Battlezone is also quite repetitive as far as its gameplay goes and experiencing a campaign reset is bound to cause frustration.

The story and the philosophical themes give Monark a reason to play and that also counts for the tactical combat. However, visually the game is not that good and the level design could also be a lot better. Monark introduces a lot of original ideas and styles, but fails in the execution which is a shame. Don’t get it wrong, it’s a fine game, but it has so much more potential.

A decent port, that nevertheless suffers from a number of technical issues, chief among which a number of framedrops, long loading times and a cursor that doesn't exactly work as intuitively as it should.

The new Need for Speed is fun enough, but the lack of a day-and-night cycle, decent AI and offline features make for an enormously disappointing package. Oh and the less said about the live action cutscenes, the better.

Yes, it's about as close to the real thing as you can get without working up a sweat, but that doesn't justify the lack of depth and replay value this game suffers from. And why does every athlete look the same?

Playing Quidditch was not possible in Hogwarts Legacy, but we now have a solution for that with Quidditch Champions. An entertaining game in which the roles of Quidditch are well translated to the gameplay, which is especially fun in multiplayer. Definitely worth it for fans, but at the same time we must note that it is somewhat limited in terms of content and it also does not impress too much visually. A fine game, but nowhere really outstanding.

A fun and often pretty challenging platformer, plagued by mediocre Vita controls and a disappointing level editor.

The Thai mythology makes for an intriguing and quite unique setting, while the unsettling audio design is absolutely nerve-wracking. Add to this a superb implementation of Sony's VR headset and you've got a remarkable horror title, that unfortunately gets bogged down a bit by its linear and often frustrating stealth sections.

The visuals aren't great and Gat out of Hell isn't exactly innovating, but Saints Row remains a highly enjoyable experience, due to its ideal combination of humour, action and open world activities. If you haven't played this before, it is definitely recommended.

Riverbond is extremely repetitive. This is a shame, because the game's beautiful graphics, enjoyable characters and fun co-op mode (though only locally playable, for some reason) would've been well worth experiencing otherwise.

Freedom of choice, emphasis on tactics and a beautiful artistic vision are the main draws to Ash of Gods: Redemption. However, a mediocre story and technical difficulties - framedrops, among other things - put a damper on the fun.

Creating attractions that defy gravity gives Park Beyond a unique twist. This provides just that extra step in this area, setting the game apart from similar titles. In the process, there is also plenty to do and experience, which will keep you going for a long time. Were it not that the game on the PlayStation 5 has too cumbersome controls, is not polished enough and has the necessary bugs, which can get on your nerves a bit. Not a very bad game, but it could have been so much better.

Torn is a captivating puzzler which really finds a home in Virtual Reality due to pretty environments, great audio and excellent voice-acting. The game stutters from time to time and audio sometimes gets cut off towards the end. And although the puzzles themselves are pretty basic in design, the overall experience is a very positive one.

A fine first entry of the franchise on the current console generation with great potential, though some technical mistakes, strange AI and a lack of modes keep it from receiving a higher score.

A surprisingly deep puzzle game supported by a great storyline... if you can put-up with the lousy control scheme, the graphical let-down, the terrible voice acting and an overall frustratingly slow pace.

You'll enjoy this long and incredibly atmospheric adventure, even if the game's controls take some getting used to and the experience as a whole lacks a bit of challenge.

An unusual game because it successfully blends together different genres. Managing your ship combined with first person shooter gameplay topped off by a randomly generated environment which can be utterly unforgiving makes for a highly original experience. The audiovisual style stands out and replayability is obviously very good. The tutorial could have been somewhat better because you'll be struggling to understand the game's mechanics when you first start out. A unique and captivating title that successfully blends different genres.

Don't be deceived by first impressions, The Long Reach is a very mature and impressive adventure thanks to some powerful storytelling and some great story twists. The atmosphere makes this game a real joy to play. Even though some of the puzzles are a little bit far-fetched, it doesn't detract from the overall experience. Absolutely worth it.

A varied collection of songs and a number of interesting modes make SingStar Celebration the ultimate karaoke game. Using your phone to capture your voice works fine... though at times it will pick up your friend's baritone as well, with unpredictable results.

If you're looking for longevity then look no further. The lore is interesting enough to continue playing. The audiovisual design is well done and even though the game is pretty difficult, newcomers won't be scared off by it. Technically there are plenty of issues. Frame rate hiccups, long load times, a copious amount of screen tearing and lacklustre matchmaking are our major gripes.

Storywise, this could've been an animated feature film. Maybe it even should have been, since the game's severe lack of interaction is its biggest flaw, offering - when push comes to shove - a rather boring experience.

This game mostly builds on what we know from the previous game, but just a little bit better. The gameplay is more varied, the challenge is more present and the co-op feature is a lot of fun. All positive points, were it not for the fact that the presentation is a bit dull and there are some sloppy mistakes here and there. The lack of more language options, given the target audience, is also a shame. But if you look past this, it is an entertaining experience.

Rico is back, in a technically stable adventure that unfortunately lacks an interesting story, varied mission design and state-of-the-art graphics. There's a lot of fun to be had in the world though and perhaps that's enough.

Sadly, Revelations 2 on the PS Vita isn't the step in the right direction that the PlayStation 4 version was. Clumsy controls, a lousy framerate and - to put it bluntly - ugly graphics make this yet another forgettable Vita effort.

Remedy is venturing into a cooperative game in a familiar universe with FBC: Firebreak, which is an interesting new step. The gameplay mechanics are unique, the gameplay has potential and the areas you get into feel solid. Basically, then, a fine game, were it not for the fact that the content feels a bit sparse and the combat is somewhat mediocre. The game could use updates and more content here and there, however, giving it the potential to grow into something great.

Conarium's storytelling and the ominous setting are the game's strong points and they make for an interesting game. As a walking simulator, interaction with the world around you is extremely limited though and the voice acting is a bit over the top. Apart from these minor blemishes, Conarium is a solid experience nonetheless.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts is smaller in scale, but overall a definite improvement over the lacklustre previous entry in the franchise. A diverse set of levels, a lot of weapon variety and - last but not least - great sniping gameplay are the main reasons to give this title a chance.

A nice homage to the classic Shoot 'm Up games from the golden age, that only falters in its repetitive enemy design. 

It would be a worthy and truly scary successor to the original Blair Witch Project, if not for its lacklustre technical execution and uninspired confrontations. As it stands, Blair Witch is a mixed bag: at times truly great, but more often than not just not good enough.

This is the way we like our HD remakes - a fun, nostalgic dive into the past. We're willing to overlook the lack of online options, although we don't understand why the second game wasn't included in the collection.

A decent return of a classic, held a little bit back by clunky controls and a weird story structure.

For once LEGO builds its own story (pun intended) instead of relying on movie licenses. The result is a fun, but not exactly innovating game that doesn't fully utilize the Vita's features. Why change a winning team?

The Crew 2 is one of the most diverse racing games we have ever played where the entirety of the United States is your personal playground. Racing, sailing and flying in this world truly is entertaining and the game offers enough content to last you quite a while. The game does suffer from a couple of issues however. The AI can be severely limited at times, the physics are simplified, some areas on the map aren't used at all and trying to navigate anywhere during a race is horrible. Plenty of issues in other words but none are so severe that you won't enjoy this game for quite some time to come.

There's some joy to be had here, especially when you consider the interesting design of the fighters, who are all in some way based on characters from gothic literature. However, when push comes to shove, there's just not enough here - in terms of depth or contents - to keep you playing for long.

A wonderful VR adventure with truly impressive graphics and an interesting world to explore, dragged down somewhat by a minor lack of excitement.

The standout features of the King's Bird are its audiovisual qualities and the way in which the story is told but after a strong opening, the game crumbles under its own weight because the puzzles are repetitive and the level design is too simplistic. The game could have been far better than it turned out to be and that is a shame.

Not exactly the ultimate Sword Art Online game we were looking for, but different enough from its predecessors to entertain.

Tiny Token Empires takes an old game and makes it its own with a brand new concept. A fun strategy title with a lot of interesting puzzle elements - good for a couple of great hours.

Farming Simulator 19 mostly offers more of the same, so experienced players should know what to expect. Technically, the game's made some progress, with a more beautiful world and less bugs to get annoyed by. You won't find much innovation, though.

This party game is great fun regardless of your age and the entry barrier is very low. However, the game quickly becomes repetitive since the amount of content in the form of different types of mini games is lacking given the price of admission. Typing with a controller - and you'll be doing lots of that- doesn't work properly and is extremely frustrating. Sandbox mode is way too limited and that is a shame.

Boring level design, a lack of innovation and uninspired extras make this frustratingly difficult game hardly worth playing. Skip it.

Atlas Fallen does several fun and interesting things, such as sand surfing and deepening combat with the Momentum meter. At the same time, the gameplay feels a bit stiff and graphically there are some issues that stand out. The battles can also get a bit monotonous, but at the same time the game really does offer everything you expect from an open world action-RPG, which is fine.

Biomutant tries to do a lot of interesting things. It offers a potentially captivating world and unique crafting mechanics. Even the combat's fine, on the surface. The game, however, doesn't exactly play well, with clumsy controls, repetitive missions and an overemphasis on drawn-out dialogue that bores instead of inspires. This really could (and should) have been a lot better than it is.

Not quite a worthy addition to the survival genre, mainly due to its excruciatingly slow combat system and a rather large amount of technical issues. It's a shame, cause if you persevere, you'll find quite a lot of dept hand atmosphere in Windbound.

A brief game that doesn't really feel like a game due to a severe lack of interaction. This is a shame, since there's a lot of potential here, especially in the VR department.

Basic. Old-school. Basic. Challenging. Basic. Repetitive. Oh, and did I mention basic?

This beautiful adventure transports you to an amazing world filled with a wonderful soundtrack. As far as gameplay is concerned, Yonder never becomes complex, instead opting for a simple, but charming experience. Highly recommended.

A very enjoyable game, even though there is no soundtrack and the gameplay lacks accuracy. This could and should have been a lot better.

Maid of Sker is at its best in its opening hours, when the sightless enemies are still threatening and the dark halls of the titular hotel loom large. After a while, though, you get used to the main offerings, while any attempts at creativity have mixed results.

Definitely not the best anime adaptation, but also not the worst. There's a lot of fun to be had with One Piece... if you're willing to overlook the annoying camera and an incomplete story.

Better than its predecessor, mainly because this newest iteration lacks the technical issues that made the previous one such a chore to play. There's not much innovation to speak of, though.

Diverse locations, a tremendous amount of content and fast-paced gameplay ensure you'll have a blast playing Xenon Racer. The AI is somewhat unpredictable and the game does suffer from framedrops and long load times. If you can look past these minor technical quirks then there is plenty here to be enjoyed.

Chromagun VR is an integral VR port of the original game which came out a few years ago. Clearly a take on the Valve's successful Portal series, Chromagun manages to fully stand on its own two legs. Blending colors to solve puzzles is fun even though difficulty isn't balanced out very well as you progress. Although this certainly isn't a system seller, it's a decent game overall. It is merely ok, nothing more and nothing less.

The PlayStation Vita version is faithfully ported to the PlayStation 3 and, as it turns out, does not make as much of an impression on the big screen. Ubisoft tweaked the free-running and combat aspects of the game, though didn't bother fixing bugs and other shortcomings. Graphically, it's a totally expected letdown.

When The Sinking City focuses on its every Lovecrafian tale and lets you play the paranormal sleuth, it gets under your skin and manages to keep you hooked. As soon as it turns into a survival horror game with shooting mechanics, however, the result is bad enough to make you want to stop playing all together.

MGXP PRO is pretty much the same game as the previous iteration. Sure, there are some improvements in the graphical department. Physics are at times more realistic than before and the big old playground called Compound is back. Negatives? Load times are far too long, the reset system is frustrating because it's highly inconsistent, the game lacks innovation and we could go on.

The game provides you with a strong and compelling story, where the choices you make actually have an impact. Add challenging gameplay with interesting RPG elements and the developer succeeds in its mission. The fact is, the game could do with some more attention in the form of better animations and models, as well as an elaboration in the features, which sometimes feel like an afterthought. Nevertheless, it is a fun title that is worth playing.

An elaborate strategy experience, hurt by mediocre graphics and a disappointing fighting system. It's a shame we can't properly read the letters on the screen either.

Infliction is pretty creepy at times, though it tries a little too hard to be P.T. The game's overall lack of originality is its biggest flaw, immediately followed by the piss-poor graphics.

Worth it for the fans, especially with the addition of a co-operative mode. If you're not already on board, the game's repetitive nature may get to you.

The whole thing's drenched in the moody atmosphere of the TV show, which in and of itself makes sure any fan of the series will feel right at home. The unique spin on tactical gameplay is also very much worth experiencing.

The game suffers from a boring story, uninspired voice acting, a forced grind, a mediocre presentation and, above all, lots of bugs and glitches. All ingredients that do not make a good game and that is a shame, because the atmosphere and setting are quite interesting. The management aspect is also fascinating. Indeed, the basis for a good tactical game is definitely there, but the many negative elements get in the way of its potential.

A different approach to the well-established formula of Ratchet & Clank that works well... for the most part. The single-player is extremely short, but the strategic nature of the gameplay makes the online multiplayer very enjoyable.

As a new IP, Forspoken comes off quite well. For example, the story and lore is very interesting, with the interactions between Frey and her bracelet Cuff being enjoyable. Add in magical combat and parkour, and it creates a game that can bring you a lot of fun. At the same time, you have to take into account a very weak beginning and that it is very recognizable in terms of gameplay design. That is, it's more of the same and in terms of variety not really extensive. As a result, Forspoken is a game that is worth playing, but at the same time it doesn't really excel or innovate in anything very much.

Darksiders is back, but unfortunately this third game in the series suffers from an identity crisis. The unique world is still a lot of fun to explore, though in trying to copy the Dark Souls formula, Darksiders III has lost track of what made the previous games special.

This is definitely one hell of a weird experience. The art style is magnificent, the combat exhilarating and the soundtrack interesting. Interesting is also an apt word to describe the humor in the game. However, the level design is rather repetitive and the much advertised 'gigolo' missions are rather limited in options. If you liked similar titles like No More Heroes and Lollipop Chainsaw, you might just like Killer is Dead, if you're willing to overlook its flaws.

Track Lab combines making music and solving puzzles into a very unique and entertaining title with excellent controls and lovely tunes which are sure to relax anybody. The amount of puzzles is somewhat limited and making music (in a separate game mode) is where the meat of Track Lab lies. Although you can spend hours and hours in this mode, you can't share any of your creations with anybody else oddly enough.

While it is fun to play through a Wolfenstein game with a friend, Youngblood feels a bit lacklustre when compared to its predecessors. Still, the gunplay is solid enough and the well-designed levels keep you invested. Worth a buy if you've got a partner to play with.

This is the Police aims to give the player a lot of freedom in his actions, but ends up a rather repetitive mess. It's fun for a couple of hours, but not exactly memorable.

It's a decent way to spend some time in-between the bigger releases, though Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India is ultimately too superficial to make a lasting impression. A promising setting ultimately isn't enough to keep this 2D platformer interesting.

We felt like Spider-Man, swooping throughout a unique world at our leisure. If you're prone to motion sickness, however, this will not be your favourite Christmas gift.

Once more, Minecraft: Story Mode delivers an enjoyable adventure. Jesse remains a truly engaging character and the rest of the cast also does everything in their power to keep you thoroughly endeared.

About time this game got a western release! It's a lot of fun too, though the game does start to show its age in both gameplay and graphics departments. It's an okay game, but the brief length and lack of any multiplayer options are the final nails in Metal Wolf Chaos XD's proverbial coffin.

The jolly kangaroo is back in a brand new adventure, and it's quite enjoyable. This thanks to the fine gameplay and fun combat, making it a successful adventure. The diversity in environments and fighting moves provide variety in gameplay, but on the other side, the game has annoying bugs, the voice acting is not good and the audio will regularly drop out. So there is still some polishing to do, but if you look past that it is an entertaining platformer.

The gameplay is recognizable and therefore still enjoyable, though the touch features leave a lot to be desired. And was it really necessary to make the tutorial so damn hard?

If you know the series, then you will be able to have fun with this game despite it being separate from the larger storyline. If you are not familiar with it, then you will not understand much of it because the story will be impossible to follow. Although the game has some nice mini-games to offer and is graphically neat, it is somewhat repetitive and too limited. Nice for fans, but not an outlier.

The official license keeps the game interesting for a while. Then, you'll start noticing the clumsy controls and the mediocre presentation. It won't be long before you realize that there are better off-road racers out there.

Ubisoft delivers a barebones VR arena shooter set in space for 4 players. Although the technical execution is good, the lack of content and the disadvantage you have against PC players due to being limited to using the DualShock 4 controller only prevents it from being truly fun. Maybe in time this game will grow out to be the next Unreal tournament in VR but right now we cannot recommend this game, especially at the current price point.

This kart racer plays very nicely and there is also a lot to unlock, which makes it a fun title in its own right. Were it not that the game is riddled with microtransactions and the number of circuits is low. On top of that, there is an unbalanced power-up system and the paid content feels superfluous, making it very disappointing in practice. The core is good, but it falls short in several other areas.

Occasionally enjoyable, Unbox: Newbie's Adventure is nevertheless plagued by horrible controls, a terrible camera and repetitive gameplay. Upvote the concept, downvote its execution.

It's a bit repetitive, but those first few hours are a lot of fun because of the enjoyable gameplay, decent voice-acting and laugh-out-loud humor.

This legendary RPG series returns with a vengeance, thanks to decent graphics and a lot of small improvements. The developers mostly play it safe though, omitting - among other things - online features, which is a shame.

The second game is a trilogy but not necessarily an improvement. Sure, the campaign has been expanded upon and the troop management aspect works like a charm. At the same time input registration is flaky and the selection wheel can really get on your nerves for not being accurate enough. The online part of the game is already extinct and that is worrisome to the game's lifespan.

A longer and often interesting, though overall less memorable sequel to its remarkable predecessor.

A fun VR-puzzler which offers a lot of value for money. The game's theme combined with relatively simple graphics and some overly happy J-Pop songs simply work. The early levels are far too easy and severely underestimate the player. When the difficulty ramps up, the game improves significantly. Tracking doesn't work well for the motion controller option which makes the DualShock 4 the preferred way to play. Which is a shame because it feels less natural.

A brief, but very cinematic experience, that blends intense shoot-outs, an interesting story and amazing visuals. We mentioned it was brief as well, right? Cause it is.

The adapted story is very engaging to follow which is complemented by clever level design and good exploration gameplay. At the same time, it is not the remake it could have been, as battles lack precision, the actors lack empathy and the technical side is also far from perfect. At its core, it is an interesting title, but these shortcomings definitely do the game no favors and that is a shame.

Dynasty Warriors hasn't changed much as a franchise over the years. Each episode has its additions, of course, but the developers have never really strayed from the beaten path. Dynasty Warriors 7, dubbed Empires, is not a great game. There's a bunch of technical problems, the graphics are disappointingly average, the menu stutters and the camera irritates. Fans will probably like it, though - newcomers won't. And it's a shame the multiplayer's a waste - there's hardly anyone online to play with.

Arizona Sunshine hinges on a neat concept and delivers an enjoyable singleplayer experience, which - unfortunately - has been put together rather sloppily. The amount of pop-up alone is enough to give any sane person a headache.

Every year the WRC franchise gets better. WRC 4: FIA's licenses are perfectly in order, the career mode is a lot of fun and the tracks are varied. On the other hand, the game lacks challenge, has an overabundance of loading times and disappoints audiovisually.
