A tower defense game that challenges your intellect and convinces with a unique visual style. The castle editor extends the experience, though overall CastleStorm lacks the content to be anything more than a quickie while waiting for the next big title to hit the shelves.

It's all there - fun and intuitive combat, challenging stealth gameplay and an engaging story - but Warner Bros. Montréal never truly hits Rocksteady's mark. At times the game feels rushed, empty and frankly, uninspired. It's an enjoyable title, to be sure, but it's nowhere near as good as its predecessors.

True to its name, 2Dark is a shocking, often even disgusting affair that manages to frustrate about as much as it innovates.

The graphical style of My Memory of Us really stands out and the audio doesn't disappoint either, in part due to Sir Patrick Steward's contribution. Gameplay is very repetitive and very puzzle-heavy. Those puzzles don't always work out as well as they should and overall the game is pretty easy. Nevertheless a fun platformer.

A fun and often pretty challenging platformer, plagued by mediocre Vita controls and a disappointing level editor.

Ultra Age manages to convince with its fluent gameplay, supported by an elaborate skilltree that offers depth to each wieldable weapon. The impressive bossfights form the proverbial cherry on the cake. Graphically, however, this game looks like it's still stuck in the PlayStation 3 era.

Fans of the franchise get more of the same, meaning challenging gameplay sections and a lot of depth. Graphically, however, it's a disappointment and we genuinely lament the lack of any new features.

The action in Gangs of Sherwood is very fluid and smooth, making it a pleasure to experience. Especially if you play in co-op, where the variety is sufficient because the characters are so different from each other. In addition, the performance of the game is also excellent, but on the other hand, the campaign is very short, the game is not very strong visually and has the necessary glitches. It is also not very difficult, as it lacks a bit of challenge. Still some points to consider, but with that said, we can conclude that the game itself can be called fun to play.

Being a farmer on the PlayStation 4 is a relaxing, though rather repetitive job. There's a lot of depth to be found here, but you need to have a certain interest in farming to think this is enjoyable. Technically, the game isn't really up to par with the rest, though that won't keep you from getting sucked in if this is your thing.

The universe that Star Wars Outlaws presents you with is really optimal enjoyment and the addition of syndicates does the gameplay justice. The audio is fantastic and the story and characters are very interesting. But where the game performs really well in those areas, it is mostly more of the same. There are many opportunities for original and unique gameplay possibilities, but instead the game plays very much on safe. Also, interaction with Nix is very limited, and on top of that, the whole upgrade system feels rather uninspiring and even somewhat limiting.

The latest Naruto game doesn't surprise: it adds more characters and features, as is usually the case with this ongoing franchise. You get an interesting storyline and gameplay which is instantly recognizable. Great for the fans, but we did notice the excruciatingly long loading times, slightly obsolete graphics and an unhealthy amount of button bashing. The game's fun, but it could (and should) have been better.

After an earlier release on other platforms, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is now available on the PlayStation 5 and in the best possible execution. The result is an entertaining title that feels especially good thanks to its gameplay and variety of missions. The downside is that the story does not really offer depth and the gameplay unfortunately just does not manage to be engaging for long play sessions. Nevertheless, this does make the game a suitable title for nice in-between play in shorter sessions.

An entertaining point & click adventure which offers you plenty of humor. The story has plenty of plot twists which makes for a refreshing, visually appealing game. Playtime is relatively short and the character development is very limited by consequence. Nevertheless, Detective Gallo is a fun diversion while it lasts.

Digimon's back, though it's probable only die hard fans will be truly ecstatic. The game's just a bit too repetitive for anyone else.

Choosing between Puyo Puyo and Tetris is nice, though we'll never get why you can't just keep on playing Tetris for hours on end (while this is an option with Puyo Puyo). It's still a lot of fun, though.

Tumble VR is enjoyable and works well with a PlayStation Move controller. It's as good a way as any to kill some time.

Battlezone is at its best when played in co-op. Its graphics are neat, its sound design solid and the illusion of driving a tank around is expertly crafted - provided you're not prone to motion sickness. However, Battlezone is also quite repetitive as far as its gameplay goes and experiencing a campaign reset is bound to cause frustration.

Not exactly the ultimate Sword Art Online game we were looking for, but different enough from its predecessors to entertain.

A nice little spin on the well-known Tetris formula, Tricky Towers is a lot of fun when you've got some friends to play it with.

A fine, if somewhat short and repetitive Transformers game that feels authentic in every possible way.

Its sluggish controls and disinterested voice-acting provide a sharp contrast with its ambitious level design, neat graphics and addictive gameplay.

Diggs Nightcrawler sets itself apart by using the book itself as a controller, instead of the PlayStation Move. The game is mostly aimed at a younger audience and is very amusing to look at (and listen to). It's a shame that the Wonderbook isn't always correctly detected by the PlayStation Eye and the adventure is a bit short overall, but still we would recommend a purchase.

This helicopter game is a lot more fun than it is deep. You will enjoy the unhealthy amount of explosives and you will definitely be surprised by the amount of extra activities that require you to drop the helicopter controls. The graphics are surprisingly beautiful and the soundtrack is exhilarating, even if the voice acting sucks. A fun, but ultimately forgettable experience.

We felt like Spider-Man, swooping throughout a unique world at our leisure. If you're prone to motion sickness, however, this will not be your favourite Christmas gift.

RIDE 5 is more of the same, but it has all been updated. For example, it looks even nicer, you have plenty of (more) choice of bikes and tracks, and also the feeling on the bike is excellent. On the other hand, the AI is not very intelligent and the career mode fails to convince. Still points to consider in a game that in general is fine. Especially for fans of the series.

If not for Mira Forrester's portion of the story and the arrival of a surprising new character in Ironrath, this would be a pretty dull affair. As it stands, it's still a rather dull affair, though spending a couple of hours in Westeros will never be a bad way to spend your time.

There's a lot to like here. The grimm, mysterious atmosphere, for one. Ron Perlman's lived-in voice-overs, for another. On top of that, the intense shootouts are often incredibly enjoyable. All of this makes the flawed technical execution all the more disappointing. Bugs and glitches, as well as an annoying camera, keep West of Dead from reaching the lofty heights it aims for.

A decent improvement over its predecessor, with a bulky career mode and enjoyable multiplayer. The controls are still hit-and-miss, though. Overall, still not enough to lift this fighting game out of the mists of mediocrity.
