While still being a great racing game, we were not too convinced by F1 2013. Yes, the career mode is properly fleshed-out (though we've seen it all before) and the classic mode is a nice addition to the franchise, though we could do without the weird paywall construction that demands players to pay extra for all the content. The visuals are also rather boring and the game's intro aims perhaps a bit too much at franchise rookies, which might annoy experienced players.

Depending on the people you're playing with, Werewolves Within is either an amazing social experience or a boring lonely one.

It's been a long time coming, but finally the Dying Light sequel is here. The parkour is refined, the combat is great and the city is lively enough to keep you entertained for a long time. There is also plenty to do in the game, but at the same time it is mainly more of the same without really big innovative steps forward. The first few hours are also disappointing and the visual modes do not offer a best of both worlds standard. A fine sequel, but perhaps a victim of too high expectations.

A surprisingly strong story carries you through this colourful adventure, that constantly manages to find new ways to keep the act of catching Bugsnax interesting. The graphics are a bit disappointing, though... but did that ever stop anyone from having a good time?

A 'greatest hits' collection of everything that made the series work. Unfortunately, that includes the annoying technical problems every episode has had to deal with up to now.

LEGO by numbers... Which isn't really a bad thing.

Proteus is a game without a clear goal. In fact, we're not sure whether there is a purpose to it at all. You're just wandering around a deserted island, that is generated at random for every new playthrough. Still, in a strange way, Proteus is very satisfying and not just because there are Trophies to earn. It's a bizarre, relaxed experience, though it definitely isn't for everyone.

A sublime atmosphere combined with a well thought out narrative along with the recurrence of moral dilemmas is Vampyr's biggest selling point. Combat leaves a little bit to be desired however and there is a fair amount of glitches to be found. If you can see past these things, then you'll have a grand ol' time with Vampyr.

Walking around in total darkness and making sounds so you can get a glimpse of your surroundings is the premise on which Tiny Bull builds this Virtual Reality title. It gives us a unique audiovisual experience which offers an interesting story and some fun puzzles for you to solve. Blind is worth your time if you can manage dealing with a couple of minor bugs and the fact that the puzzles lean heavily towards trial and error from time to time.

A new year, a new MotoGP games. Milestone brings you more of the same and that feels very good in terms of gameplay, because of the better mechanics. In addition, the addition of the 2009 season is very cool, which makes it worthwhile for fans. Still, the game lacks some things here and there. The multiplayer content is very limited and the AI sometimes does crazy things. No major problems, but there is room for improvement.

This game's a lot of fun, with the 30 Years of Wrestlemania mode as the indisputable highlight. However, the controls aren't very precise, the camera can get quite frustrating and the visuals won't win any awards nowadays. It's good, but it could (and should) have been a lot better.

The ever-popular Wii Sports has been given a Switch adaptation and the result is a fine title. Several sports are great fun to play, including in multiplayer. The entry threshold is also very low, making it suitable for everyone. Know that the emphasis is on the multiplayer, because on your own it can get relatively boring after a few hours. Also, the price is a bit on the high side compared to the content the game offers.

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.

It's a bit short and the controls are at times quite clumsy, but that doesn't keep this visually unique and overall intriguing platforming experience from being highly recommendable.

Lo Wang's return is highly enjoyable, even though the controls aren't as responsive as they should be and the gameplay lacks variation. Ah well, you can't have everything, I suppose.

Ratchet & Clank return to their roots, though their "comeback" isn't exactly a homerun. You'll have a lot of fun with Nexus, to be sure, but certain aspects - some weapons are useless, there isn't any innovation to speak off and Clank's moments in the spotlight are more frustrating than enjoyable - could have been done better. In the end, fans will definitely want to get this, though newcomers should think twice.

Playing air guitar to familiar songs in virtual reality is a gift we didn't know we needed. It's a pretty fun game to experience which is partly due to the good tracklist, the different difficulty levels and the immersion. One downside: the explanations are somewhat random, which can make it confusing if you're just starting out. It is also a pity that there is no progression system in the game, which makes it more of a game for in between when you have nothing to do.

Thief is a good stealth game, though disappointing fighting mechanics and lacking visuals keep it from reaching true greatness.

Interaction and PlayStation VR2 are synonymous, which the game Cosmonious High proves once again. Enter an intergalactic school and discover all your talents by taking part in a variety of activities. The game is packed with content and fun to keep you well entertained. A great game for PlayStation VR2, but it is a pity that there is no real challenge in the game and you really have to love the visual style.

Interesting and atmospheric, that’s Lost in Random in a nutshell. The unique combat system is also very much worth mentioning. The lack of variety and a number of technical issues do bring the experience down a bit.

In style and gameplay a decent sequel to Grow Home, an annoying camera and clumsy BUD keeps it from reaching lofty heights.

The game clearly focuses on multiplayer; but strikingly, its singleplayer mode has a lot more to offer. Having said that, Star Wars: Squadrons is quite the stellar VR experience, a must-have for Star Wars and flying game fans alike.

RIDE 4's excellent sense of realism offers a pleasant experience to anyone with a passion for motor racing. There's quite a bit of content here too, with a diverse set of customization features that will keep you tinkering for a long time. Some hiccups do occur though, chief amongst them a rather unconvincing career mode.

It took awhile, but finally the west gets to experience Tales of Xillia. Overall, we'd say that's a good thing - even though the game knows its ups and downs. The style is intoxicating, but the presentation of it rather mediocre. The story is interesting, but rather slow. The depth of the gameplay is Tales of Xillia's biggest plus. It's by no means a perfect games, but we nevertheless recommend it. Fans of the Tales of... franchise shouldn't think twice.

Capcom gives its episodic Resident Evil game a proper send-off, though the uniquely constructed co-op mode is still dragged down somewhat by generic enemies and disappointingly standard level design.

There's a lot to love here, from GRID's expansive multiplayer modes to the game's ability to cater to your every whim and need. The lack of splitscreen multiplayer is disappointing though, as are the often lacklustre graphics and severely mediocre enemy AI.

Rainbow Six Extraction is a fun outing for the Rainbow Six franchise that does well with multiplayer. However, don't expect anything too special as it builds on a familiar event. Co-op play is advised, as it is the most fun and the atmosphere is also a plus, along with the challenge. At the same time, the missions are not too varied and there are some small bugs here and there. A decent game, fun to play, but nowhere very exceptional.

If you've got plenty of time to kill, Warhammer: Chaosbane is worth a try. Truly a fine offering, this game improves as it goes along, uncovering its shiniest diamonds in its latter half.

EA is back with a golf game and they don't hit a hole in one right away, but they do come off well. The game mainly stands out for its beautiful courses and smooth gameplay, which can provide hours of fun via the extensive career. The presentation of the sport, on the other hand, is a bit thin and visually the animations are a bit disappointing. Otherwise, the game has many small improvements to make. Nevertheless, it is a decent golf game that will entertain fans of the sport.

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.

A surprisingly fun platformer that excels with its variety of characters and levels. The gameplay also has enough depth making it an entertaining title to play. However, there are some balance issues and modes that are sparse, as well as some connection issues. A few things to consider, but that does not take away from the fact that in terms of gameplay it is an ideal game for quick battles to kill some time.

Octodad is a unique and above all hilarious experience, mostly because of the downright weird controls. Unfortunately, these controls can make the game completely unplayable for people with less than optimal motor skills.

Jak and Daxter finally appear on Sony's handheld and their original trilogy remains a lot of fun. There's some annoyances here and there (framedrops and other technical hick-ups), but you should be able to overlook these flaws.

Trials of Mana retains the atmosphere of the original, but its gameplay feels a bit dated at times. But if you can overlook this, as well as the many loading times, you’ll be in for a lengthy adventure that’s definitely worth your while.

If you can get through the slow starting hours, 11-11 turns out to be quite an interesting experience, in part due to its unique visual style.

The most dangerous moto race doesn't exactly make for the most dangerous videogame, but it comes admiringly close. There's room for improvement, especially as far as loading times and multiplayer content are concerned, but overall this realistic race sim will keep you firmly glued to the tip of your seat.

Mediocre graphics are Paper Beast's main detractor, which is a shame - especially since, rather paradoxically, the game's unique art style is a major plus. Smooth controls and an enjoyable sandbox mode are other reasons to give this title a chance.

The new MotoGP is again just a little more accessible and graphically there is also a good step forward. On top of that, the AI also offers just a little more challenge, making the spectacle on the track look impressive. On the downside, the AI sometimes goes a bit too far and the content is mostly more of the same compared to previous years.

Once more, MotoGP suffers from long loading times and underwhelming graphics. However, the franchise has improved in some ways, chief among which the dedicated servers for the online multiplayer modes and the effective AI. Sometimes, baby steps are enough.

A nice, though quite unnecessary, virtual World Cup experience. Might have been better as DLC.

Disappointing singleplayer campaign, rock solid multiplayer modes... What else is new? Nothing much, really - especially since DICE appears to be more than happy to keep treading water instead of even trying to raise the bar.

We had to wait a long time for a new installment, but BioWare is finally back with a Dragon Age. The game presents you with an engaging story, lots of fun side missions, beautiful areas to explore and the combat is very enjoyable. Although we should note that the pacing is not always great and in terms of overall depth it is a bit shallow. A good game, but not the new holy grail within the franchise.

The core gameplay is wonderfully realized, making this free-to-play game very much worth getting into. Be prepared to withstand temptation, however, for money is still the easiest way to get to the good stuff.

The SAND LAND manga sees its translation into a game with this title that comes out just fine. This is thanks to the fun combat, the cool characters and the hefty amount of content. Fans can therefore completely lose themselves in this. At the same time, we should note that side missions can be monotonous and you have to deal with invisible walls. Also, some conversations are repeated quite often, which can get on your nerves.

This trilogy is a great example of too little, too late. Don’t get us wrong: Agent 47 and all his perils mashed into a trilogy pack make for a great way to spend your day, but it should have released before Absolution. With the physics being completely outdated and the so-so graphics, it drains our primitive need to play. We just play for old times’ sake and we still love it.

A weird, but unique game that's fun to play once. There's hardly any replay value though and the gameplay's rather repetitive.

Being Iron Man looks, feels and plays great, even if long loading times and a steep learning curve kill the joy a bit. One of PS VR’s most engrossing titles, nevertheless.

The lack of intuitive controls ensures that the PS Vita version of Gravity Rush remains the best one. If you can get past that, however, you'll find that this PS4 port is still a rush very much worth experiencing.

Strong acting and an interesting, creepy story make The Bunker very much worth experiencing at least once. It's a nice little adventure, though two hours of limited playtime may not be enough to justify the pricetag.

This War Of Mine successfully evokes emotion with a gripping tale and deep gameplay. However, limited replay value and a number of technical problems hamper the fun.

The newest Call of Duty delivers a fun adventure, filled to the brim with espionage and explosive action. It's very enjoyable - as Call of Duty always is - yet rather short. If we talk about the multiplayer, it feels very compact for now, a bit to compact with just a few modes and maps. But the maps are varied enough to entertain you for a while and Fireteam: Dirty Bomb is a fun addition. So, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a fine game, but that being said... it feels in a way like a little step back from Modern Warfare.

The graphics are much more modern and multiple tweaks and additions have been made to improve the gameplay.

A comprehensive title that again offers a huge amount to collect thanks to the hefty amount of content. The LEGO gameplay also remains fun to experience so in that context you know exactly what to expect. But the game - despite years of development - lacks truly innovative steps forward, making it feel like more of the same. Also, the pace is not always consistent, which feels a bit weird in the experience. Nonetheless, an entertaining adventure that is well worth the effort.

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.

Once more, Ubisoft delivers more of the same in a new setting. It’s worth playing, thanks to the enjoyable firefights Far Cry is known for. Also the new tyrant played by Giancarlo Espansito makes a good impression in a diverse and nice new environment called Yara. The sixth installment of the series has some problems, however; dumb enemy AI, the absence of a skilltree and a general lack of polish being the most annoying ones.

This game lets you pick up a boxer's gloves and this provides a lot of fun, especially in the boxing matches themselves. Gameplay is a lot like Nintendo's classic Punch-Out!!! series and the matches are equally challenging. The unique and quirky visuals make for a remarkable title. Apart from the fighting though, the other stuff is far less interesting. The music really feels out of place as well. Nevertheless a fun diversion.

For the first time ever a game is ported from the Nintendo 3DS to the PlayStation 3. We're happy to report that this strange enterprise has turned out to be successful. The classical RE gameplay is back; claustrophobic and exciting! There's hardly any extra's and the price is a bit steep, but fans of Resident Evil shouldn't hesitate about buying this.

This game isn't dusty at all! Alright, that may have been a horrible pun, though the amount of variation and great visual style do make this a highly enjoyable platform game. It's sort of sad then that the controls are at times not as responsive as they should be.

As a game based on a movie based on a toy franchise this could have gone a lot of different ways. As it turns out, it's just another highly enjoyable, if not exactly memorable, LEGO experience.

Combining BioShock's focus on exploration with the tense chases of Outlast, Close to the Sun delivers an intriguing alternate history in a detailed, believable setting. It's not perfect though: puzzles are often way too easy and the game at times refuses to register your button inputs.

Zone of the Enders HD is a great collection. The first one feels a bit dated and simplistic, but the second one is definitely one of the best mech games ever made. If you've never played these and find yourself intrigued by the concept, don't hesitate to buy it.

It's not for everyone, but this interesting mix of American Football and Warhammer, filled with deep tactical gameplay, will keep any fan busy for hours and hours on end. Shame the graphics aren't exactly groundbreaking. And while we're nitpicking: would have been nice if we were able to read the words on the screen as well.

This episode is a bit slower than the last one but that does give you the opportunity to get to know the characters even better. The (free) prologue to this season is integrated nicely and the voice-acting is once again excellent. Definitely worth it in other words but some choices are forced upon you and we can't get around the ending where some strange choices are made by an adult character, which makes this episode lose a bit of its credibility.

Absolutely stunning to look at and amazingly fun to play, Miles Morales is kind of an improvement over its already great predecessor. The side quests are still repetitive though and the game’s a bit too brief to justify its price tag.

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.

The best of the Assassin's Creed Chronicles games, Russia lifts the concepts and ideas of its predecessors to a higher level, while still not quite reaching the lofty heights it's aiming for.

A visual feast that, along with the great audio design, makes for a very atmospheric experience. It's not perfect, though. Navigation leaves a bit to be desired and some technical shortcomings put a damper on the fun.

A solid arcade baseball game that has a lot more depth than you'd initially expect. It is very accessible at the same time, which makes it a fun title for hardcore fans of the sport and casual players alike. The addition of an online mode is great since that feature was missing in the original release. Besides that, this sequel is mainly more of the same.

We could've done without the repetitive sidequests and annoying backtracking, but Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is still a decent, if somewhat unimaginative experience.

Disappointingly incomplete as far as content goes; quite great in the gameplay department. Whether the good outweighs the bad is in this case up to you.

Bigger, better and more beautiful than the previous game, Shadow Warrior 2 is a great improvement upon its predecessor in certain ways - even if it manages to disappoint on a technical level.

If you have played a previous iteration of God Eater, you'll know exactly what to expect because the third part in the franchise does not innovate in any way. It is still a fun game though which especially excels in coop and the single player content has some seriously awesome missions which will enamor both series' veterans as well as newcomers.

Lots of charm and lots of content, still worth the investment if you’re a nostalgic soul, looking for a fresh dose of bikini bottom action. Some aspects - the amount of texture pop-in, to name one - undeniably feel a bit dated, though.

Some aspects (such as audio and visuals) of GRID Autosport are a bit sloppy, but for the most part this is a decent racing game.

Solving puzzles in pairs is a lot of fun, especially if it happens in an atmospheric and challenging environment. The time limits are often a bit frustrating, though; as are the less than optimal checkpoint placements. Overall, a pretty decent co-op game.

Ancient animations and disappointing shooting mechanics can't keep this episode from continuing the first episode's positive trend, even if it takes the score down a little.

Hard as nails, but rewarding if you stick with it, Tiny Trax especially shines when played with multiple real-life people.

The atmosphere is the main draw here, in part thanks to an excellent soundtrack. The gameplay is fun as well, if a bit easy and superficial. Overall, a fun adventure that's worth a try.

Thanks to credible characters the story this game tells remains interesting. The puzzles are challenging and the graphical style is very pleasant to look at. The game does suffer from overly long load times and the lack of lip-sync detracts from the overall experience. There are some plot holes in the story as well, which is a shame but nevertheless The Council is a fine game.

An improvement over the original in almost every way, though the focus on micro-transactions does take a lot of the fun out of it.

If you're a car nut, you'll definitely like this. The cars look and sound exactly the way you expect them too, sometimes even better. The online modes are a joy to play. However, a severe lack of content, some strange design choices and the fact that there's hardly any damage models at all keep Gran Turismo Sport from reaching the lofty heights it aims at.

It's not bad, with its sprawling white city and hard-to-resist freerunning gameplay. However, a disappointing story and graphics that don't always feel up-to-date keep it from joining the pantheon of current-gen genius.

It's a shame the game still contains roughly the same amount of bugs and glitches its predecessor did. Visually and atmospherically, however, WWE 2K18 is a considerable step up for the franchise.

Solid gameplay, a wonderful soundtrack and sublime graphics... Persona Dancing Endless Night Collection makes a great first impression. However, a lack of innovation and an underwhelming story keep the game from reaching a higher score.

It's a good Elder Scrolls game, just not an especially great one. The atmosphere and huge amount of quests keep the game interesting, but the individual player's experience is held back by the MMO frame, while the graphics are severely disappointing. Fans shouldn't hesitate, though.

Tokyo Jungle delivers on a highly unique premise. It's an extremely enjoyable experience, even if mediocre visuals and repetitive gameplay keep it from becoming an instant classic.

If you can overlook the mediocre graphics and unintuitive controls, you'll find PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to be quite the pleasant experience on PS4. Battle Royale at its finest.

An in cohesive story and faulty control scheme keep Lost Orbit from reaching the clouds. However, if you're willing to overlook its problems, you'll find something nice to keep you busy in-between larger titles.

Under Night's biggest problem is that it never truly feels like a PlayStation 4 game, due to mediocre graphics and a story that never manages to truly take off. However, if you're not all that bothered by this, the game's unique characters and fleshed out online modes will keep you busy for a long time to come.

Quite an impressive puzzle game, mainly due to its fantastic level design. The game's a bit too short to fully justify its price tag though.

Skullgirls stands out because of its insane character designs and dito move sets. Beneath this shiny layer of craziness, however, it's nothing more than one more thumb-twisting 2D fighter that doesn't quite make it to the level of its colleagues.

Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot works like gangbusters. It makes you feel the impact and brutality of every dog fight, effectively 'as if you're truly there'. It's brief though, and won't win any awards in the graphics department.

Challenging gameplay and a moody atmosphere make for an intriguing experience, though clunky controls and disappointing graphics keep it from reaching the heights its concept deserves.

A point & click adventure in the vein of the old Lucasarts games which makes clever use of game and movie references. And even though some puzzles are pretty far-fetched, they provide plenty of entertainment. The humor wasn't exactly our cup of tea but all in all, you can't go very wrong with The Wardrobe if you're into this type of game.

Finally! Proof that racing trucks might be just as much fun as racing any other vehicle. The graphics feel a bit underwhelming though and empty online servers are always a bummer.

Innovation in a LEGO game? LEGO Ninjago tries it and succeeds... mostly. Unfortunately, the overly chaotic nature of the gameplay coupled with an annoying camera somewhat sucks the joy out of the proceedings.

Sonic returns this year with a 2D platformer, and where the game starts out excellent, it weakens a bit in the long run. This is unfortunate, but the fact is that the gameplay in itself does provide enough fun, and the game is full of nostalgic references to the past, which are on point. The controls are top notch, but the co-op, while fun on paper, is too chaotic in execution, so it doesn't work well. At its core, a more than fine game, but where there are many pros, there are just as many cons to consider.

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.
