    The remake of System Shock has been a long time coming, but the result is definitely worth it. A technically solid achievement, the story is intriguing and the setting is brought out fantastically. In fact, almost everything is fine with this title, were it not for the fact that it has a very high entry threshold. It is oldschool game design and that is not something we see much of today. Also, the Cyberspace fragments are not that engaging, but these are two blemishes on an otherwise refined game.

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

    An episode between seasons in which five characters experience the first four hundred days of the zombie apocalypse. It's a bit short and there are a couple of technical issues, but overall fans of the series will definitely enjoy this.

    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.

    This game once started as extra content and it shows, the story is on the short side at just over 10 hours. Fortunately, the game has enough to offer through its minigames and extra content to keep you entertained for a long time, although you have to reckon with somewhat mediocre pacing and remarkably, lumbering animations. With that said, by the way, we can recommend this title to any fan of the franchise.

    2K is back again with an annual installment in the NBA franchise and it dishes out more of the same, supplemented with new elements and improvements. The latter makes for even better gameplay and the new features, such as the Jordan Challenge, are great fun. Graphically, too, it is again impressive, were it not for the fact that some frame drops can occur. Also, the game can crash, which is annoying. Even more annoying are the many microtransactions, which remains a problem in this series. Other than that an excellent basketball game.

    The best and most varied LEGO game in years. The minor technical hiccups are easy to forgive.

    As cute as it is touching, and as unique as it is enjoyable, Unravel is a title very much worth experiencing.

    While the story is run-of-the-mill sci-fi tropes, the execution is fantastic. Great atmosphere, impeccable tracking, thrilling suspense and fantastic controls add up to one must-buy title for you PlayStation VR set if you can stomach the survival horror genre set in space. The roguelike element that causes the ship's layout to change constantly is a welcome addition and keeps the game feeling fresh. A special mention must go to the highly original and entertaining multiplayer. Highly recommended.

    Blasphemous represents the vision of a true artist, but remains a diamond in the rough due to technical difficulties and a frustrating degree of unfairness. There's room for improvement, let's leave it at that.

    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.

    Square Enix has learned from the failed release of Final Fantasy XIV and delivers an update worth playing. A Realm Reborn is an extremely enjoyable, if a bit repetitive MMO, the score of which is brought down by an unhealthy amount of framedrops, mediocre voice-acting and the lack of PvP.

    Putting together your own guns will provide you with hours of fun. After that you'll test your mettle against all sorts of alien scum in randomly generated levels which provides enough variety to last you quite a while. Overall, Mothergunship is a fine shooter with a couple of minor niggles; lack of force-feedback, cluttered menu's and the interruption of your flow when you need to recharge your weapon to mention a few.

    A realistic shooter, that's more than welcome amidst all the fast-paced carnage that saturates the market, courtesy of Call of Duty and Battlefield. Slow, tactical and very much worth playing, whether you're alone or with friends. The graphics are a disappointment though, as is the weirdly inconsistent AI.

    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.

    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.

    Pros: the gameplay is still awesome and enables us to use old instruments is a cool move by the developer. Cons: calibrating is way more of a challenge than it should be, and the lack of Rock Band 3 songs and online multiplayer is a downer. In this case, however, the good outweighs the bad.

    After the disappointing Resistance: Burning Skies and the truly abysmal Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified, the Vita finally has a top shooter, which listens to the name of Killzone: Mercenary. Guerrilla Cambridge hit it out of the park with this fantastic handheld experience. It looks and plays great, its levels are varied and challenging, and the online multiplayer is hugely entertaining. If you own a Vita, you should own this game.

    The graphics aren't state-of-the-art and the story isn't that well-told. That said, spectacular combat and a wonderful environment to wander around in save Dragon's Dogma from the purgatory of mediocrity.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    Gameplay is smoother, ground combat is better and the real impact system adds a lot. Graphically it is also very strong, so in several ways it is a better game than UFC 4. At the same time, there is relatively little new in the career mode and the roster of fighters is not complete. Finally, the game suffers from occasional poor input registration and a disorientating camera, which together put a bit of a blemish on an essentially fine fighter.

    A decent follow-up to Retro City Rampage, Shakedown Hawaii manages to succeed thanks to its unique visual style and arcady action gameplay. It gets a bit repetitive after a while, but don't let that stop you.

    The return of a PSP classic we could not have wished for better. The graphics upgrade is very pleasant and the performance is excellent. In addition, the combat system is more than fluid and the New Game+ option is a welcome addition. Add to that a compelling story and characters and you have a must have up your sleeve. That the development regarding the latter is sometimes not deep enough is a bit of a shame, as are the here and there outdated animations, but that is fine to take for granted in this excellent remaster that is more than a graphical polish.

    The singleplayer isn't special in any way, but as is most often the case with Worms, the multiplayer's very much worth your time.

    It's a bit boring in its first hour, but the second hour more than makes up for it. Your choices matter and make us yearn for the next episode. We want more.

    Activision manages to keep their franchise fresh to an almost abnormal degree. The best part of the series so far.

    The sequel continues the admirable level of quality that was delivered by the original, with improved AI to boot. Great game.
