    The interesting game world is worth exploring, thanks in part to the many fun easter eggs and missions you get to choose from. The fact is that it is technically rather messy. For example, the game has quite a bit of screen tearing, frame drops and more. Also, the battles are stiff, making it all feel a bit shaky. If you know how to get past this, then the game is quite nice to play.

    Somehow we thought this one would turn out to be better. After all, the concept of ruling your own country (or in this case: winning it back) holds great possibilities. And even though a unique visual style and well-implemented touch controls make New Little King's Story a fun experience, a weak story, repetitive gameplay and a number of technical mistakes doesn't make it a lasting one.

    Finally, a PlayStation Move game that seems to matter. It's a bit too short and also a bit too simple, but in the end you will remember this colorful platform game as an enriching Move experience.

    A surprisingly entertaining platformer which creatively throws some puzzle solving your way. The balance between the platforming and puzzle solving sections feels just right. Add to that a very pleasant audiovisual style and you really cannot fault Degrees of Separation in any way. If we're pushing for criticisms, the precision required when solving some puzzles might be the only minor gripe we could think of but that's really all. Great fun and highly recommended.

    A challenging episode, but it never hits the level of Paris or Sapienze. It's fun for a while, but nothing all too memorable.

    An original puzzle game that creatively plays with dimensions while telling a good story at the same time. The setting is original, the voice acting is excellent and the puzzles are creatively designed. The game only lasts for about two hours though and the controls feel a bit nervous for some reason. You'll regularly and unwillingly drop items often too which is frustrating and hampers the overall pacing of the game.

    The MXGP franchise continues its trip towards the top, with great visuals and a refreshing lack of long loading times. The DualSense offers a nice amount of feedback during races, making it easier for gamers to immerse themselves into the experience. However, the inconsistent reset system and overall lack of content keep MXGP 2020 from reaching the lofty heights it aims for.

    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.

    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.

    Porting the game to the PlayStation 4 after a successful PC Kickstarter project pays off relatively well. Although the controls aren't really suited to the DualShock controller the story managed to captivate us. The game is challenging and the voice-acting is solid. Combat can sometimes be a drawn-out borefest and the game suffers from repetitiveness somewhat but generally you won't mind since it still manages to entertain.

    Not bad, especially as far as the story is concerned. A good concept, but it isn't enough on its own and No Straight Roads falters a bit in its execution. Dumb AI is the main culprit, but the fact that the actions on screen aren't always synchronized well with your input certainly doesn't help matters.

    It fills up the gap between both Lords of Shadow games quite nicely and the HD-transition is well-done. Nevertheless, the game's a bit easy, the gameplay lacks depth and the story could have been a lot more engaging. It will keep Castlevania fans busy until Lords of Shadow 2 is released, which is the only reason we could come up with to recommend this.

    A nice, nostalgic re-release of a classic game, which works decently on our current gen consoles. However, though the gameplay is fine in itself, some technical shortcomings definitely spoil the fun on a regular basis.

    Old school Real Time Strategy returns in the form of 8-Bit Armies and it absolutely delivers on the nostalgia factor. Simplistic visuals and gameplay really don't detract from the large amounts of fun to be had. Plenty of varied maps and multiple modes offer more than enough content. Online there aren't any competitors however, which makes you get bored relatively quickly. A fun snack, but that's about it.

    Ancestors has an intriguing concept, but its slow gameplay and the high degree of precision required to succeed make it a mostly frustrating experience. Worth a try, but you might want to wait for a discount.

    When you're able to play this title in co-op with a couple of friends, the resulting experience is almost elemental. When you're going in solo, however, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is less memorable as the cracks in the framework inelegantly show and the extremely repetitive nature of the gameplay slowly reveals itself.

    You control Arca's Path with nothing but your head and thanks to the game's sublime head tracking it's possible to be very precise. Add varied level design to the mix and you'll know you're dealing with an interesting experience. However, the whole thing will be over in just three hours, which isn't all that many.

    It's certainly better than the previous iteration, though WRC 7 still lacks too much content as well as progress in the visual department to truly make a difference.

    Let's face it, if you're not into stories, you shouldn't buy Beyond: Two Souls. After all, player input is kept to a bare minimum and even then it manages to take you out of the experience, as it needlessly slows down the action. However, those who love a good and well-told story can't go wrong with Beyond: Two Souls. Both Ellen Page's and Willem Dafoe's acting is highly convincing and the visuals are appropriately jaw-dropping. Co-op is also a feature very much worth exploring, as it succeeds in turning this "interactive movie" into an effective two-player experience.

    The game looks and feels nostalgic with its 2D gameplay and challenging gameplay. However, the endless grinding and re-using of level design eventually make it an incredibly repetitive and overall tedious experience.

    The game introduces the recruitment system, which is an interesting addition as it brings more diversity to the gameplay. At the same time, the missions involved are repetitive and Ubisoft uses a bit of the same blueprint in terms of gameplay structure. So, apart from new hack features and the recruitment system, do not expect any particular innovations. A solid game, but it is not the ultimate autumn title either.

    The entire concept will still bring a smile to your face, especially when you consider the drastically improved graphics. The game is severely outdated, though, which is mostly noticeable when you're actually playing it. This could - and perhaps should - have been better.

    Forget simulation, Project CARS 3 goes in a different direction and provides a more arcadelike experience. While this will definitely be a letdown to longtime fans of the franchise, in and of itself the game nevertheless manages to be great at what it tries to do.

    Telltale more than anything manages to capture what it's like to be Bruce Wayne. It does an admirable attempt at capturing what it's like to be Batman too, but ultimately falls a bit short due to the limitations of the chosen format.

    A captivating story fueled by memorable characters which benefits from the documentary-like narration. A shame that animations are relatively stiff and some scenes feel rushed because the game would have been better if these minor issues had been addressed. Overall, a very interesting title worthy of your attention.

    A very entertaining game in which you must roast human flesh to satisfy the wishes of the invaders on your island. It's like Overcooked, but slightly different. This is due to the dishes and the fact that you also have to kill the people before you can cook them. Completely absurd, of course, but that makes for a lot of fun. Play in co-op though, because solo is not recommended and it is a shame that the audio gets boring rather quickly, let alone the balance in extra skills which is not good enough. Points to consider, but that does not make the game less worthwhile to play with friends.

    The intriguing story with the solid gameplay manages to make Soul Hackers 2 an engaging game. In terms of content, the game is also richly supplied and thanks to the presentation, the atmosphere drips from it. A fine title, were it not for the fact that loading times are a bit long and there are some minor graphical imperfections. However, it is absolutely not a problem for the overall experience, so give this game a chance.

    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.

    A great tactical RPG that more or less mixes the turn-based combat of the early Final Fantasy games with the strategic joy that was Vandal Hearts. It's not the best game ever – among others, the story is lacking – but we definitely recommend it to fans of the genre.

    AER: Memories of Old offers neat puzzles and a refreshing sense of freedom, though the gameplay's too limited to truly leave an impression.
