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.

A well-made fighting game with enough content to keep the disc spinning in your PS3 for months to come. Lackluster AI and wooden animations, however, keep WWE '13 from getting more praise.

The interesting visuals manage to impress, while the high difficulty spikes are sure to keep fans of the survival genre busy for days to come.

The franchise is back, and this time with a slightly different approach. No single player, and the focus is on large scale battles and creating your own experiences in Battlefield Portal. This works out well, as the unprecedented scale and dynamic gameplay is very good. It is also more accessible than ever before, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Hazard Zone mode is also a valuable addition, and the possibilities with Portal are endless. All good news, but keep in mind that there will be bugs, unstable frame rates and lag. In other words, the basis is very good, but it can still use some polishing.

Dripping with atmosphere, Mafia offers a strong story with engaging characters, great voice-acting and an intriguing setting. The game does fine in the gameplay department as well, but strafing feels a bit clunky and there's quite a bit of screen-tearing to spoil your fun. You'll still have a good time, though.

A good strategy game that plays really well and offers plenty of challenge. You end up feeling like an actual spy while playing this game and that is a big compliment to the developers. Sadly though, there are a couple of difficulty spikes throughout which causes some frustration.

The latest iteration in the franchise offers more of the same and improvements. For example, you can now create your own team, you get an even better look behind the scenes and the voiced communication is a nice touch. The game is mostly everything you already know, but just a little better and more comprehensive. At the same time, the game still has some audiovisual bugs and the negotiation system could have been better.

The combination of noir with a futuristic setting picks up well in Nobody Wants to Die, which presents you with an interesting story with fun investigations. The voice acting is also strong, making for a solid adventure that does some new things. There is little to criticize about the game per se, although the lack of chapter select is a shame and the textures are sometimes of somewhat low quality.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a delightful platformer that pays homage to the series with fantastic gameplay and, at times, eye-poppingly beautiful graphics. It is an excellent and worthwhile game, but it still suffers from bugs and crashes. In addition, the visual quality is a bit inconsistent per planet, which makes the game a bit lacking. This is a pity, but it does not change the fact that this is a title worth playing. Put it in the “very good, but not perfect” category.

An excellent compilation of the first three Super Monkey Ball games, with lots of content. A truly enjoyable trip down memory lane, with fun gameplay that will keep you busy for a long time to come. There's some minor annoyances - you can't choose the worlds you visit in story mode, for example - but none that will genuinely hurt the experience.

Fallen Order lives and breathes Star Wars like no current-gen game has before, with a wonderful atmosphere, challenging combat and phenomenal soundtrack. There are downsides though: some characters lack depth, the in-game camera at times defies your input and the framerate can drop occasionally. It's a shame because there's genuinely a lot to love here.

Wuppo's may not be perfect, but its sense of humour and enjoyable gameplay do make it stick out from the pack.

Trine 5 continues on the foundation of the previous games and offers just a bit more variety thanks to the expansion in character abilities. The puzzles are also more varied and the build-up in difficulty is enjoyable. All this together makes Trine 5 a fine platformer that we can recommend although we should note that the combat segments do not reach the level of the rest of the game.

We had to wait a while to experience this Wii U title, but LEGO CITY Undercover made a nice transition to our favourite console. It's funny, accessible and quite refreshing - just what the slightly stagnating LEGO franchise needed.

Moving Out 2 is bigger, crazier and more fun than the previous installment. The game dishes out a lot of variety in levels and associated elements, which makes for an enjoyable experience. Especially when playing in co-op, although the game still has some bugs online and the side missions are more of a hindrance than a motivation in gameplay, but these are things that can be overlooked considering the rest of Moving Out 2 has its act together.

The best LEGO-game of the year, even if it keeps playing it safe, offering the same old formula that's apparently been successful since the dawn of time.

The surprise (free) release of We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is a nice gesture. The somewhat shorter game offers fun puzzles and is again great to play together in co-op. Fans of the series get exactly what they expect and considering it's a free release (and later cheap paid game), it's a no brainer to try and play this title. We then gladly take the minimal technical issues for granted, since it doesn't have a major impact on the overall experience.

Finally a truly decent Lord of the Rings game, with an intriguing story, quality gameplay and exciting setting.

It's a bit brief and the controls are lacking, but don't let that keep you from giving InnerSpace a shot. It's a relaxing experience with a unique, colourful style, that really makes it stick out from the pack.

A fantastic online multiplayer mode and a disappointing singleplayer? Sounds like Battlefield, all right. Don't expect any huge graphical leaps either, just a fabulous and highly destructive - Levolution is a blast! - online experience.

It's not the scariest game ever made, but it immerses you in a truly wonderful environment, confronts you with unspeakable horrors and makes you think about what it means to be human. There are far worse ways to spend 28 bucks.

The singleplayer is spectacular, but rather short. The online multiplayer is huge and highly addictive. No surprises there. New additions to the franchise either manage to deliver a surprisingly fun experience (Extinction) or a slightly disappointing spin on the known multiplayer formula (Squads).

The second Styx game plays it safe, but still manages to improve upon its obscure predecessor in significant ways. Recommended!

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.

Thou shalt not touch Naked Snake!!! No, seriously, the touchscreen features in this game are terrible. Other than that, this collection is perfectly recommendable to gamers who don't own the PS3 edition. We would, however, like to know why Peace Walker wasn't included into the package.

Often hilarious and often great, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is a fun, brief VR-experience very much worth your time.

Clearly the best PlayLink title to date with enjoyable and original mini games, great support for your smart phone and a beautiful visual style to accompany the hilarious gameplay. As with any PlayLink title, this game is best experienced with friends since the AI can sometimes make some weird, irrational choices.

Readers, behold - this one's for you. Torment: Tides of Numenera is an engaging RPG with a lot of options and deep fighting mechanics. It's not completely brilliant - some technical issues and long loading times manage to annoy - but don't let that stop you.

Ghostwire: Tokyo brings a unique world bursting with atmosphere, making Tokyo a pleasure to explore. The entire game is steeped in Japanese folklore, giving it a unique twist. Thanks to the battles and engaging characters, Ghostwire: Tokyo is worth a purchase. The combat can feel a bit limited in the long run and technically it's not perfect, but we'll look past that with love because the core of the game is so cool.

Your typical LEGO game, drenched in that typical Jurassic Park atmosphere we all know and love. Technically, it's not exactly great, but it's still a highly enjoyable experience fans of the franchise will adore.

A fine game for all ages that excels in the presence of awesomely detailed physical ships. Within the toy-to-life genre this comes as a great surprise that really delivers on the fun factor. The difficulty is a little bit unbalanced unfortunately which is somewhat inconvenient, considering the audience this game caters to. The gameplay tends to be repetitive by nature but on the flipside there is an enormous galaxy for you to explore in which there is plenty to see and do. The game plays well overall and the in-game customization of your ships is deep enough to keep you entertained for a long time to come.

A great sequel, which successfully expands the universe created in its predecessor. Visually, Skylanders Giants isn't that impressive though.

This game dishes out an intriguing story that mixes horror and fairy tales in a fun way. There are also multiple endings to discover, which is cool, complemented by beautiful music. A game of a somewhat smaller caliber, but definitely worth a try, but be aware that the trial and error level is a bit high and the controls can be a bit cumbersome. Don't let that stop you from giving Little Goody Two Shoes a try.

Modern Warfare isn't a home run, with its disappointing spec ops mode, camp friendly multiplayer maps and delayed texture pop-in. However, as a shooter, the latest Call of Duty is an absolute blast to play, with sublime audio effects, impressive graphics and a great single-player campaign. Recommended.

With Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, Mimimi Games tries to bring a new twist to the strategy genre by adding stealth. This makes for a slow, but exciting progression that provides great satisfaction when a plan succeeds. The game also has a high replay value, which justifies a purchase. However, there are also elements such as Crew Tales that are not really engaging and feel like filler content. In addition, loading on the PlayStation 5 can take a bit of time, which is not an issue on the PC.

As accessible as it is addictive, Knockout City is a pleasant surprise. The surprisingly deep gameplay will keep you playing for a long time, even if the lack of variety might at times put a bit of a damper on the proceedings.

Arizona Sunshine 2 builds on the previous installment in the best possible way. The game does not rely on a story, but rather on action, as it is a wonderful shooter that offers a lot of interactivity and fun, especially if you play together. The game has some technical sloppiness, but other than that it is an excellent adventure to experience. Do you have a VR headset? Then Arizona Sunshine 2 is worth your time.

This episode is a bit of a mixed bag in that its first half feels very slow and lacklustre, while its second half hits home with some impressive action and a strong ending that breaks the player's heart all over again.

A nice-looking, interesting Assassin's Creed Experience on Sony's handheld. If not for messy storytelling, random game-overs and a lacklustre multiplayer, it would have been a Vita classic.

A remake of a remake that stands on its own on the PlayStation Vita.

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.

A game with a lot of depth and challenge, presented in a fun and unique way. Newcomers beware; the learning curve is quite steep!

Sly Cooper is back and the old raccoon is as fun as he has ever been. The platform gameplay is addicting, even if it lacks any real challenge. The story is interesting, even if the humor feels a bit forced (and childish) at times. In the end, Thieves in time is a fun game for children and adults alike... it just doesn't reach the lofty heights of its predecessors.

Blizzard once again proves they're capable of anything, delivering an amazing colorful shooter that's worth every penny you spend on it. Shame there's no single-player mode though; we'd love to know more about these characters.

It's kind of predictable, especially in the jump scare department, but don't let that fool you. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is a highly enjoyable on-rails shooter with creepy enviroments, convincing visuals and expert sound design.

Kojima's Fox Engine makes PES 2014 look pretty, but won't keep FIFA from crowning itself "footie of the year". The main culprits? An unhealthy amount of framedrops and once again a sore lack of licenses.

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 wonderful arcade experience, that offers a lot of variation and fun, though not necessarily innovation. The career mode’s lack of progression is DiRT 5’s main drawback, but besides that we can recommend it to anyone who enjoys arcade racers.

Little Nightmares II is the right kind of sequel. It takes the concept and wonderfully creepy atmosphere of the original and expands upon them, in all kinds of unexpected (and often downright disturbing) ways. Frustratingly, however, the gameplay still leans an awful lot on trial-and-error.

Unicorn Overlord is a good game from Vanillaware, in which the gameplay is what counts. This is deep and tactical. In addition, the visual design is very pleasant, but the story is a bit cliché and the social aspect is a bit disappointing. These elements are influential, but fortunately do not hinder the overall gaming experience too much, so there is definitely a lot of fun to be had from the gameplay. In particular, if you really appreciate this developer, Unicorn Overlord will be right up your alley.

Another fun little adventure with quite a lot of options to create your own, unique characters. It's still a bit slow and the camera at times seems to get a kick out of annoying you, but other than that, Skylanders once more delivers on its promises.

With an engaging story, interesting characters and entertaining turn-based gameplay, Fantasian: Neo Dimension certainly manages to be worthwhile. Moreover, it also looks impressive although the camera wants to be a bit annoying at times. In addition, not every side mission is equally interesting, but you can easily get over that when you consider what the overall package has to offer. Lover of JRPGs? Then you're in the right place with this title.

This remake of the originally Nintendo GameCube game is a must play if you don't have or haven't played the original game. The charm of the story and visual style will have you enjoying it, the soundtrack is on point and the story is engaging. However, it is noticeable that some animations have disappeared and in addition, it is a bit weird to play the game at a lower fps count compared to the original one. A missed opportunity. But don't let that stop you from considering getting this game.

The absence of Birth by Sleep is both remarkable and disappointing, and it's definitely a shame we can't play Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Other than that, however, this is pretty much the ultimate collection for Kingdom Hearts fans, seeing as it enables them to finally follow up on the story appropriately.

A spiritual successor to the excellent Until Dawn, Man of Medan is the promising first entry in a brand new series of interactive horror films. Once again, there are plenty of scares to be experienced and 'life or death' choices to be made, though technically the game just doesn't run smooth enough to be as good as the developer's magnum opus.

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

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.

Quick and tough, Butcher's classic platformer gameplay will keep you glued to your screen for a while, especially if you like a challenge.

The design of this game is shown to its best advantage in a situation where the gameplay is challenging. All this in a large world with plenty to do makes Shin Megami Tensei V a successful and enjoyable title. Just be aware that the resolution is a little low and the story not very exciting. Fortunately, the gameplay makes up for this.

The atmosphere in We Were Here Forever is excellent and this is once again evident thanks to the varied environments, challenging puzzles and the decent amount of content. Still, the game feels a bit stretched at times and the story remains vague, but thankfully that doesn't limit the overall co-op fun. If you really liked the previous games, then this is a no brainer.

Kickbeat is quite addicting, with it's beat'm-up-with-guitar-hero-influences gameplay and its wonderful soundtrack. Watch out for certain level of frustration though, as it's rather hard to make up for earlier mistakes and the boss fights are at times terribly unclear.

The return of this classic game in a modern twist works out well. Although the missions are not always varied and the game has some difficulty spikes, the gameplay is still excellent. You can expect dozens of hours of gameplay, there are many different classes and the battles are extremely entertaining. All in all, a must have for fans of the genre.

Wonderbook: Book of Spells is the first game for Sony's new Wonderbook system and therefore has to be good in order to sell the device. Fortunately, the game delivers in almost every way, aiming at young gamers and implementing augmented reality and the PlayStation Move superbly. Based on the Harry Potter universe (and co-produced by J.K. Rowling) this game will also give Potter fans a kick with its magical atmosphere.

It's both better and more enjoyable than its predecessor, with lots of depth in its world and gameplay.

Chorus is a title that flew under the radar and that's a shame, because the game does good things in certain areas. Flying the spaceship is a real pleasure, with the developer coming close to perfection in terms of control. The battles are also very intense, which is a real pleasure, but bear in mind that the pace will be somewhat disrupted later in the game. It can also get a little monotonous in the end, but don't let that stop you from giving the game a chance. You will be surprised.

This combination of strategy and tower defense turns out pretty impressive in VR. There's challenge and variation in abundance, though the game would do well with a more active online community.

Business as usual... though this time Traveller's Tales has added some much needed improvements and additions to the otherwise solid formula of the LEGO games. If you're a fan of either The Hobbit or the LEGO franchise, you should definitely check this out.

Awkward gunplay and less-than-stellar graphics aside, Prey lets you run around an intriguing setting, wielding unique powers against a relentless alien force as you go. You won't regret spending your time with this one.

Lots of story elements and a varied mission design make for a worthy follow-up to Odyssey. Valhalla plays well, doesn't solely rely on grinding to pad out its runtime and offers a world that's genuinely amazing to look at. It ain't particularly innovative, though... feeling more like another entry in a franchise that's slowly heading towards a creative standstill.

The story remains on the surface, which is unfortunate, since the rest of the game - new quests, missions and artefacts included - is more than interesting enough to sustain your interest.

Difficult and old-school, Slain manages to deliver despite its uninteresting boss fights and linear level design.

Superfrog HD means the return of an old hero and this is a comeback to remember. The game consists of old and new levels and is rendered in full-on HD. The story is a lot of fun and the same can be said of the atmosphere and the presence of a cross-buy feature. We loved that you are able to create your own levels, though it is a bit of a shame that you can't upload them to the PlayStation Network.

Knack 2 surpasses the original with fun puzzles, a lot of variety and decent combat. The developers clearly listened to the feedback they received and changed almost every aspect of their game for the better. Hats off.

A great story and interesting atmosphere make for a highly entertaining - and at times even creepy - brain twister.

Especially enjoyable in co-op, Monster Hunter World offers a tremendous amount of challenge and exploration, enough to keep fans busy for months or years to come. If not for the limited crafting options and graphical glitches, this game might have warranted a perfect score.

A toy-to-life LEGO game was only a matter of time. Because of this, we're glad this title turned out as great as it did. It's a bit expensive though and staying close to the portal becomes annoying rather than amusing towards the end.

Nostalgia, dear old friend... How have you been? It's a blast to see you're still as awesome as we remember, though we could have done without the glitches and disappointing backgrounds.

Two classic Nintendo games are back with a new look. The stories are still very engaging thanks to the interesting characters, now given more charisma because of good voice-acting. The puzzles are also fun but maybe a bit easy and less innovative compared with the original games. But that being said, Another Code: Recollection is a solid remake in terms of gameplay.

An interesting start of a promising series, the first episode of Life Is Strange starts out slow, but develops into something truly beautiful towards the end. If you like playing with time itself, you should definitely give this a shot.

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.

The story's a waste of time and the audio's lacking, but other than that, Dying Light is a blast. As far as mindless, dumb fun with a healthy dose of free running goes, you won't find much better than Dying Light.

Your only goal in Don't Starve is to survive. You do this, primarily, by "not starving", though you'll be fending off creatures and looting the graphically unique environments as well. It's a nice survival simulator that is highly recommended to everyone looking for a nice change of pace.

A fun and elaborate hockey game that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and challenging to veterans. Online you'll definitely encounter a couple of hick-ups, but none of them are bad enough to ruin the experience.

So finally we've got Minecraft on PlayStation 3 and it was well worth the wait.

It's no Tony Hawk Pro Skater or even SKATE, but as a simple 2D skating game, it's a nice (and highly challenging) effort. You'll be addicted in no time.

This is one of the best Pokémon games ever made, if not THE best. This is due to its excellent gameplay, well-crafted audio, sense of freedom and engaging adventure. What gets in the way of the experience considerably, however, is the game's lousy performance. In particular, the frame rate is a drama at times, which can be a bit annoying.

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.

The visual style is really great and that is complimented by excellent physics together with the almost sublime gameplay. The roster is also very extensive and the feel of the franchise is no different in this new installment that every fan of the genre should play. Do take into account that the presentation in itself is somewhat simplistic and the content outside of the fighters is somewhat disappointing.

A neat port of three now classic games that are fine to control on the handheld, but Assassin's Creed II falls a bit out of place considering that really is an old game. That said, if you have never played these titles before, then you will have a lot of fun with this one. At home on the couch, as well as on the go.

Total War: Warhammer III's extensive campaign and additional multiplayer features will keep you as a player busy for a long time. The strategic gameplay is also in this new part very strong, which is partly due to the good balance between the factions, supplemented with new gameplay elements. That said, for now you must take into account a poor performance and a somewhat unstable online service, which will surely be fixed. Graphically it is not impressive, but fortunately the gameplay makes up for that.

Darksiders turns into a top-down hack-and-slash title... and turns out to be all the better for it. Some minor annoyances don't weigh up to the sheer amount of fun this game holds in store for you, solo or in co-op. The deep and varied combat system forms the proverbial cherry on the cake.

Sky Force Reloaded is a pleasant surprise. It's a slightly repetitive, but always challenging experience that impresses with an unconventional progression system. Fans of Resogun need not doubt.

The framerate isn't great and apparently the camera wants to kill you, but otherwise this is a great send-off for the Assassin's Creed franchise on the last-gen consoles. The environments are varied and your role as a templar is interesting. Definitely recommended.

There's a lot of depth and strategy to be found in Rainbow Six: Siege, especially when you're playing with a headset. However, the lack of content is something to be considered when pondering the game's retail price.

After two action-heavy episodes, this third part focuses more on the story. Because of this, the interaction is severely limited when compared to previous entries in the franchise, though the story and characters are more than enough to keep you entertained.

A new year, a new F1 game. This one boosts an elaborate story mode, that's somehow both clichéd and very much worth experiencing. On top of that, F1 2021 also has a number of significant improvements over its predecessor. There's still some clumsy animations, though, so take that into account.

There are some problems - an empty-looking city and an annoying fixed camera chief amongst them - but none of them really amount to much if you look at the full package that's offered here. Neo: The World Ends With You has a number of different gameplay features, each very much worth experiencing. Add to that an intriguing story and addictive soundtrack and you really can't go wrong with this game.

This is one of the best Pokémon games ever made, if not THE best. This is due to its excellent gameplay, well-crafted audio, sense of freedom and engaging adventure. What gets in the way of the experience considerably, however, is the game's lousy performance. In particular, the frame rate is a drama at times, which can be a bit annoying.
