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

Donkey Kong is getting his own 3D action-adventure, and it turns out great. The level destruction feels satisfying, the stages are varied, the presentation is vibrant and colorful, and there’s an incredible amount to do. The fact that the game might be a bit on the easy side is a shame in terms of challenge, but that’s literally the only point of criticism. Looking for an excellent game for the Nintendo Switch 2? Then Donkey Kong Bananza is an absolute must-play.

Telltale returns to the universe that brought them their fame and they deliver in almost every way.

Doom Eternal is everything its predecessor was, times two. A surprisingly engaging story grounds the insane action, that takes run-and-gun gameplay to a whole new level of awesomeness.

Pretty much the best soccer game up to date. There's still room for improvement though... then again, there always will be.

Hazelight redefines coop with this game, a unique and creative title in many different ways. The split camera is something we haven't seen before and in terms of gameplay there is plenty of variety to be found here. Both characters are very colorful and interesting and as a consequence the story is great. And although the main story seems to cave in little by little as you progress, the game concludes with a bonafide bang. A Way Out is unique, original and very special. We only wish that there were more games like it.

The best episode up to now, due to superb character development, enjoyable action and a great sense of humor.

Still one of the best games ever made... Made even better by PS4 technology. Shame the camera still doesn't entirely act the way it should, but besides that an absolute must have thanks to the unique experience, magical soundtrack and outstanding overhauled graphics.

Get ready for some old school gameplay combined with fantastic graphics, a great story and entertaining characters. Our only gripe with Dragon Quest XI is the crafting system which seems to be purely luck-based. Voice-acting is so-so but that won't detract you from what is a fantastic game overall. Recommended

Treyarch gives us more than our money's worth with an innovative Call of Duty entry that ups the ante in every possible way.

Far Cry 5's setting is stellar and good for a tremendous amount of entertaining gameplay. Whether it be the main story, side missions or random activities, you won't get bored anytime soon in Montana's Hope Country. The game does owe a lot to its predecessors but ups the ante creatively in many respects. Also, the Seed family is a phenomenal group of antagonists.

Some minor visual issues aside, EA came, saw and emerged victorious: FIFA 14 improves on a number of key features and establishes itself again as the best soccer game out there.

SEGA tops itself with Yakuza 0, a highlight of an already beloved franchise that manages to succeed in every single way.

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

Beautiful graphics, an intriguing singleplayer campaign and rock-solid multiplayer modes that deliver in every way imaginable... Battlefield 1 is the best game the franchise has delivered in years.

Isaac Clarke's original adventure is back in a new format, which has more depth in story and freedom in terms of gameplay. As a result, the game is recognizable, yet not the same which makes for a nice result. The game also has impressive graphics and the audio is unnervingly strong. That the game has some minor flaws we take for granted, because this horror adventure is recommended to everyone.

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.

FIFA 17 is wonderful; the graphics are improved, the gameplay works better and The Journey is an interesting addition.

Kratos has returned in a beautiful new adventure. Forget all previous iterations, this game sets the new franchise standard in which story, combat and exploration are expertly interwoven in spectacular fashion. The game looks and plays stellar while the voice acting is of mind-blowing quality. Atreus is a great addition and together with the new approach to gameplay the latest PlayStation 4 God of War game feels like a breath of fresh air. An unmissable must-play.

Borderlands 3 is more of the same in the best possible way, while some small tweaks to gunplay and exploration - being able to fight your way through multiple planets is invigorating - are welcome additions to the franchise.

Rise of the Ronin shows that Team Ninja knows perfectly well what they are doing. The game presents you with an engaging story with interesting characters where your choices affect the course. The gameplay is excellent thanks to the accessible but in-depth combat and there is plenty to experience in the game world. Only graphically the game is not very impressive compared to other PS5 exclusives, but that should not spoil the fun. Rise of the Ronin is yet another recommended game this year.
