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.

A great race game, which definitely puts EA's Need For Speed franchise back on the map.

Storywise, it's the logical evolution of Human Revolution, but it's gameplay is recycling its predecessor here and there. That's not a bad thing, though the framerate issues are a little less easy to forgive.

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.

Visually stunning and old-fashionedly adventurous, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a great swang song for this memorable franchise. You'll miss Nathan Drake and his signature quips, though... and be unpleasantly surprised by the bugs that every now and then rear their ugly heads.

Solid gameplay that has a lot of depth due to the new additions. Whether you're playing on- or offline, you won't get bored because of the insane amount of content. SoulCalibur VI is a fine continuation of the franchise and fight fans will love it. The arenas in which the fighting takes place sometimes feel a bit void of action apart from the one on one matches going on but don't let that detract you from what is a great game.

The remake brings several good quality of life improvements, new content, a newly recorded soundtrack and more. The visual style chosen also fits perfectly, making the experience feel timeless. So for fans and newcomers alike, this game is excellent to get in on, although it is a bit curious that a 4K at 60fps option is missing. Also, the encounter rate is just a bit too high, which can be a bit annoying.

Lone Survivor might just be the purest survival horror game of this generation, leaving the player to desperately fend for himself, without offering him any clear information whatsoever on what's going on. One-man developer Jasper Byrne manages to use what are essentially GameBoy Color graphics to his advantage, suggesting horrors rather than flatout confronting the player with them, and expertly using creepy sound design to strengthen the experience. The map mechanics suck and it's a shame the game doesn't last very long, but horror fans can't go wrong with Lone Survivor.

Well, this is The Walking Dead alright and as a game it's a lot better than Telltales' Jurassic Park. It's not perfect, though, as the lip-synch is often a bit off and the overall length of the game leaves you wanting more. A lot more.

Hogwarts Legacy is a game that is right on target. A stunning environment that is atmospherically designed gives you the freedom to walk around freely, play with magic and, of course, fly around with the broom. The gameplay is varied enough to keep you busy for a long time and it doesn't get boring easily either. As a fan of Wizarding World, this is an absolute must have. The game does have some small technical flaws here and there, but it won't keep you from getting entertained for a long time.

The eighth main entry in Capcom's long-running series isn't perfect due to some graphical imperfections and a lack of weight in the guns you start out with. However, we dare anyone to genuinely care when the rest of the game is this great. Resident Evil celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary in style, with an always beautiful, often scary, regularly exhilarating and surprisingly emotional adventure. Worth every single penny.

Housemarque once more delivers an exciting and highly addictive launch game. Renogun is truly brilliant, showing off some impressive graphics, intuitive gameplay and challenging level design. A must have for every PlayStation 4 owner.

Technically, this game isn't superb. Luckily, every other aspect of The Walking Dead Episode 2: Starved for Help is. Bloody action, though choices and a great story with well-developed characters make this well worth your while.

It still isn't that original, it still isn't that deep and some bugs and glitches kept spoiling the fun. Still, Darksiders II is a massive adventure with an epic story and gigantic, interesting worlds to explore. An improvement on the first one and overall a game nobody should pass on.

F1 2019 once again delivers the excellence that we've come to expect from the franchise. Any complaints belong firmly in the 'nitpicking' category.

Finally this tower defense game, which already appeared for the PSP and the PS3 earlier on, becomes available for the PlayStation Vita. The graphics are slightly more detailed and the touch features work fine, so if you haven't bought this game for any of the other systems yet, you should definitely give this version a try.

Even though the story is hard to get into, consider it worth the wait when you do. Not only does the game have different endings, all ways to get there are intertwined. It's a touching and very challenging game that keeps you guessing whether you made the right decision or not, but don't feel surprised if it turns out to be both.

A brilliant atmosphere, a packed level and more options than any Hitman fan can wish for, yet the episodic nature of the game remains annoying, while the problems concerning connection are downright irritating at this point.

BioShock is an experience, a revelation, a religion. It's the answer to the question "Can games be art?" and this is the best possible version of it.

Sam Fisher returns to the PlayStation 3 and we are inclined to celebrate his comeback. The story and its characters are interesting, the missions are varied, and the amount of playing styles available to the player is truly satisfying. The multiplayer is an added bonus. Visually, however, the game isn't that strong, with a couple of technical flaws spoiling the fun. None of them are gamebreaking though, so you should just get over it and buy the game if you're interested.

Strangely enough, it's become easier to score goals and more difficult to avoid them... Which, at times, turns FIFA 18 into an absurd festival of goals. However, if you don't mind an occasional dose of ridiculousness, you'll definitely enjoy this newest iteration in EA's long-running franchise.

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 must have for the fans, a solid recommendation for newcomers. The best ice hockey game yet.

Sine Mora certainly isn't for everyone. It's a relatively oldschool game and it's pretty challenging. The story doesn't amount to much and the lack of a cross-buy feature also doesn't work in Sine Mora's favor, but apart from that, the game is a lot of fun.

Still excellent, still worthy of a purchase... if you haven't already bought the PS3/PS Vita release, that is.

Well, this reissue is a definite improvement when compared to its original version. The definite edition of DmC looks better, adds a welcome lock-on function and kicks up the frame rate to 60 frames per second, which takes this action game to a whole other level. Some rough textures and annoying platform sections keep it from reaching the absolute top, though.

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

The Doom Slayer is back in yet another violent and fast-paced adventure that stands out in the medieval setting. With new elements such as the shield and dragon, the game brings innovation that makes for a lot of fun. Also because the game is packed with content and technically excellent performance. The story on the other hand is not really special and in essence it is mostly more of the same, but don't let that stop you from playing the game.

The absence of a single player mode is forgiven because there is plenty here to keep you occupied online. Treyarch nails it and delivers a fantastic package with great multiplayer modes including the Zombies and Blackout modes. It still feels as the Call of Duty you know and love but somehow it also manages to innovate here and there. The game plays like a dream too.

Ghost of Tsushima isn’t perfect, due to a clumsy lock-on system and repetitive mission design, though at times it comes damn close. It’s a truly beautiful adventure with a strong lead character, deep combat and an engaging world. Definitely worth picking up.

A tribute to PlayStation’s long and colourful history, Astro’s Playroom is the ideal way to become familiar with Sony’s brand-new console and all of its features. Mediocre graphics notwithstanding, it also feels like a fully-fledged game worthy of a price tag.

Mysterious things happen on the oil rig you visit in this game, and the result is a captivating adventure characterized by its strong atmosphere, bolstered by good voice-acting and catchy vibe. As a psychological horror game, an excellent title, although the game gives away just a little too many hints with yellow paint. Also, chapter select is missing and that's a shame, but don't let that stop you from playing the game, it's worth it.

Part 2 trumps the original in every way. Production values are high, the multiplayer is fun, gameplay is very intense and we could go on about its qualities. Everything you'd expect from a sequel is here and we heartily recommend you pick this up. Especially if you played and loved part 1.

Persona 5 fans will enjoy every second of this, though they'll probably miss the life-sim aspects that made the original game stand out. It's still very much worth your while, though.

Capcom once more improves upon the original Street Fighter IV with some tweaks and characters lifted from Street Fighter X Tekken. It's not quite new anymore, but fans will definitely want to pick this up.

The game plays the nostalgia card heavily and quite successfully, and looks good to boot. On top of that, there's enough content here to keep you busy for a long time - if you can stand the awkward difficulty curve, that is.

Disney's magic returns in the latest iteration of Kingdom Hearts, an adventure that is well worth your time. The story is interesting enough. Graphics are beautifully realized and the special attacks are fantastic. At the same time the audio feels like it's a bit out of sync and the gameplay feels like a throwback to previous Kingdom Hearts games. If you're a fan of the franchise however, you'll love every minute.

Splatoon is back with a third installment that comes off excellently. The various new weapons, decent single player and excellent multiplayer, make this a title that will keep you entertained for a long time. Graphically it is a bit shaky, but we have to take that for granted. After all, Nintendo delivers with Splatoon 3 an excellent game that is especially great when it comes to gameplay.

One of the original survival horror games done justice with a worthy remake. Kudos for the impressive visuals and new (optional) control scheme. If you haven't already played this, you definitely should.

Choosing between Puyo Puyo and Tetris is nice, though we'll never get why you can't just keep on playing Tetris for hours on end (while this is an option with Puyo Puyo). It's still a lot of fun, though.

The weird mix of platforming and pinball works wonderfully well which is completely unexpected. The result is an entertaining title which sets itself apart due to its distinctive visuals and while the physics can get a bit wonky from time to time, the amount of content is considerable. An original title and a lot of fun guaranteed.

MLB looks good, has lots of content and plays extremely well... which goes a long way towards making it one of the better baseball games out there. It's not much of an improvement over its predecessor, however... and that's always a shame.

It's another Minecraft look-a-like, folks - complete with simple mechanics, an unreliable camera and a bare bones fighting system. And still, mainly due to its beautiful graphics and addictive gameplay, Dragon Quest Builders comes highly 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.

Stray's gameplay is unique in a way because you now play with a cat, which makes for new perspectives and a fun experience. Along with an interesting story and gorgeous environments, it's optimal enjoyment. The fact that the game is barely challenging and a bit on the short side is a blemish. However, this does not mean that you should ignore the game, because Stray is definitely worth it.

This game is so much better than all previous iterations and every aspect of this title is so well executed that the game as a package is, well, unmissable. Great mini games, fantastic humor, an awesome story, exhilarating combat and a plethora of technical improvements. We could go one forever about the things that Yakuza does right. The bottom line is this; Yakuza 6 is hands down the epitome of the franchise and a great excuse to get into this franchise if you haven't before.

The return of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is a good one. It still is a rather original game with great controls and a lot of gameplay variations. It's a shame some design choices and the graphics aren't that great, though.

Two great and atmospheric games for a more-than-reasonable price? Not a bad deal. Not bad at all.

Triangle Strategy can feel a bit overwhelming and the resolution in handheld mode is not really fine, but with these points mentioned the praise begins. Because the game provides you with a very exciting and captivating story, has a high replay value through the choices you make, has many scenarios and the tough but tactical combat is the icing on the cake. An excellent game for the Nintendo Switch.

Three great games, but that was already the case when these games came out in the PlayStation 2 era. If you haven't played them, buy this. If you have… well, I guess that depends on how much of a fan you are.

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.

The entire Marvel universe is contained in this LEGO-fuelled action adventure and it's a simple, but highly effective title. If you've played previous LEGO games, you'll know what to expect: a lot of fun for everyone.

A great atmosphere and challenging puzzles make Creaks quite the enjoyable experience. You'll have to endure clumsy controls and a rather mundane story, though.

Developer Vicarious Visions doesn't change the winning team, but adds a rather interesting swap mechanic to the already interesting gameplay elements from its predecessors. The challenge is at times perhaps a bit too steep, but other than that this is once again a fine entry in the Skylanders franchise.

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.

Gameplay has improved from last year's iteration and that is great news for all FIFA players. EA really seems like it's finalizing it's formula which makes FIFA 19 a great game. Though visually very strong, player's likenesses are mostly limited to the biggest football stars. The lesser football gods are somewhat randomized which is a shame if you're a fan of smaller clubs. Apart from that minor gripe, FIFA 19 is a solid game which doesn't do anything new.

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.

The best-looking sports game in existence today manages to improve on its predecessor in a significant way.

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.

If not for the excruciatingly long loading screens, this would have been the best PlayStation Vita title up to date. Wait, it actually still is. Innovative controls, a unique visual style and an open world worthy to explore… Buy this!

Both versions of Superhot are well-executed little games, though its steep price tag doesn't gel well with its rather short lifespan.

The game offers a unique and interesting setting which as a whole offers a very satisfying experience. The story is a puzzle in its own right which elevates the game to a level it would not have attained otherwise. The game simply takes hold of you and doesn't let go. The puzzles are a bit on the easy side though and the length of the game leaves something to be desired as well. In the end, these points of concern don't really matter because you'll like this game regardless.

A must play has appeared with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2. This game offers an exciting and engaging campaign, with Operations being a valuable cooperative addition. Then you also have an excellent multiplayer, with everything wrapped up with a nice audiovisual jacket. One drawback is that the performance is not yet optimal and there is some lag online, but when that is fixed there is no reason to pass up this game.

What's that? Is that Activision cursing themselves because they've abandoned True Crime? Well, if they aren't, they should be! Sleeping Dogs is an absolutely fantastic game, which will definitely be fondly remembered as an example of the loads of fun a sandbox action game can deliver. Do not skip this one!

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.

Build your own museum in Two Point Museum the way you are used to from Hospital and Campus. You can do this in sandbox mode, as well as a career mode, which teaches you the intricacies of the trade. The addition of expeditions adds depth and, as always, the learning curve is very pleasant. Moreover, the presentation is fine and it plays nicely, although the number of themes is somewhat limited and also the game has to deal with frame drops that can be a bit annoying.

Grounded brings a breath of fresh air to the survival genre by coming up with a beautiful and unique style to which the gameplay is adapted. This makes it can be called a very entertaining title, which is also very well done audiovisually. We are only a little worried about the content, considering that is somewhat minimal. If more is going to be added soon, it looks very promising for this game in the long run.

Hitman is back and we couldn't be happier. The lack of a competitive mutiplayer is regrettable because of the high gameplay potential, but overall this is a great continuation of 2006's Blood Money with improvements all over the board. Welcome back, Agent 47. We sure as hell missed 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 best episode up to now, due to superb character development, enjoyable action and a great sense of humor.

Mortal Kombat 1 is, at its core, a fine fighting game thanks to its smooth gameplay and solid performance. Moreover, the Kameo fighters really add something, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it still feels like a small step down from Mortal Kombat 11. This is partly due to the Invasion mode being less interesting than the Krypt, the voice acting is mediocre and the roster is somewhat limited. Certainly not a bad game, but certainly not the best Mortal Kombat ever either.

There's an intolerable amount of framedrops on the Vita and the thin line between challenge and frustration is crossed more than once, but these are minor flaws when compared to what Spelunky gets right. This addictive platform game has finally found its way to the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita, and that is definitely a cause for celebration.

Assassin's Creed has never been bigger or more ambitious, with an equally enormous and captivating world filled to the brim with stuff to do. Over time it may get a bit repetitive though and the actual creed of the assassins has been put in the background, which long time fans may feel let down by.

Although the launch of Helldivers 2 did not go smoothly on pc, the game is worth it. The game excels in co-op, is addictive, offers fine gunplay and tremendous depth. In everything, the perfect sequel. If you liked the original, you're in the right place. Newcomer and looking for a good and fun co-op game? Then Helldivers 2 is a must have.

A more-than-decent sequel that aptly addresses the criticism the first game received. We could've done without the framedrops, however.

FIFA 16 is once more a good football game, though unfortunately it hasn't evolved a lot when compared to its predecessor. It's a slower game, filled with small improvements, dragged down by a shameful online multiplayer (FUT) that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.

An absurd load of fun, that's Wreckfest in a nutshell. This insane racing game uses extremely enjoyable tracks to keep you playing for a long time, though you'll have to be able to stand the long loading times.

Two Point Campus builds on what Two Point Hospital brought us and that is a management sim that doesn't take itself too seriously. The controls on the PlayStation 5 are well integrated, were it not for the fact that the game does have a lot of input registration issues - which can be annoying. Also, the frame rate is not always top notch and for veterans, it's pretty easy. With that said, Two Point Campus manages to offer newcomers a perfect learning curve. The audiovisual style is fine and the gameplay is a lot of fun, which makes it quite worthwhile.

Treyarch delivers. The single player is substantial and engaging. The Zombies mode is familiar entertainment full of gameplay fun and the multiplayer is solid. The overall package is well cared for, looks good and sounds excellent. In short, a game you can buy blind as an enthusiast, although they still have some work to do because of bugs and spawn points, which are not optimal.

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.

Better than the original in almost every way, Project CARS 2 is a challenging and incredibly deep racing experience that will keep car fanatics busy for years to come.

A return to the old days, in a very good way. If you're into pinball, you'll definitely want to pick this up.

A higher framerate and still engaging gameplay make this collection an absolute joy to play, even if some graphical errors and the absence of the first Borderlands drag it down somewhat.

The Division 2 is larger and more expansive than its prequel and the focus has in part shifted to end game content which adds a lot to the overall package. Coop is a lot of fun and the game surprised us continuously with its wide variety of environments. Lots of content and solid gameplay make for a very competent title. The AI could use some TLC though because it tends to be extremely dense most of the time. The texture pop-in is another minor annoyance as is the somewhat clunky user interface. These minor issues notwithstanding, The Division 2 is a great game that has plenty to offer. Recommended.

Copy pasted from Madden NFL 17, the 2018 edition of EA's American Football franchise doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel. Adding a story mode was a nice touch though and will no doubt keep fans happy for a while.

A number of big, but subtle improvements put Madden NFL one step closer to perfection, even if they're not quite there yet.

It's a shame the controls aren't very responsive and we grew tired of the framedrops by the end of the episode, though if you're willing to overlook that, you'll get a great premiere to what promises to be another brilliant season of the Walking Dead videogame. Prepare to be emotionally wrecked, guys - 'cause you sure as hell will be.

The best F1 game in years, with loads of content and an improved career mode. A must have for every F1 fan.

This expansion puts destiny 2 back on the map. Great story, beautiful destinations, awesome Supers, plenty of content, an excellent new multiplayer mode called Gambit and to top it all off a stellar new raid for you to sink your teeth in. Long story short; the Destiny 2: Forsaken DLC is exactly what you'd expect and what the base game needs. If they could only fix that framerate though.

Short, but sweet. Intense and exciting, but not exactly new. Interesting, but familiar. Why change a winning team?

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 huge puzzle game, with fun and challenging gameplay and a level editor to round things out. Highly recommended.

It's good to know that we can still be surprised these days. Sony's platform career is pretty much FUBAR these days, but the hedgehog with a need for speed still delivers on the racing front. It's not all that challenging, but apart from that there really isn't anything wrong with Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed.

Strong, deep gameplay and impressive visuals turn Desperados III into quite the experience that is worth to play. There are some annoyances though, the game's tendency to corrupt savefiles chief among them.

F1 23 is back and compared to F1 22 it offers a lot more. F1 Life has been exchanged for a more sensible F1 World that is full of activities. Braking Point is back, although it's full of irritating characters and otherwise the gameplay is a lot better thanks to tweaks and the addition of Precision Drive, which gives players the option to set a much more refined control scheme in regard to direct input. At the same time, we see little innovation in the career mode and the animations of the drivers could use a major upgrade. Other than that, a fine racer.

Did you enjoy the original games? Then this is definitely recommended thanks to the nostalgia it brings. The visual upgrade does the game justice, the gameplay is delightful as ever and there is once again a huge amount to experience, thanks in part to a number of new levels. It's a shame, though, that the original soundtrack has been changed except for a few tracks, which may feel a bit weird for players of the original. But we can live with that, considering the rest of the game is more than fine.

A lot more tense than the previous episode, with a nice balance between dialogue, action and looting. It's a bit shorter than we're used to, though the decrease in framerate issues more than makes up for it.

The best Tekken game ever made? Hard to say, really. But it might be even harder to come up with complaints that actually matter. Visually and gameplay-wise, this is a complete package fans and other interested parties should by all means get their hands on.
