    It's been eighteen years since the last one, but we're finally able to play Shenmue III. Guess what? It was worth the wait! Granted, the frequent framerate drops and numerous pop-ins are annoying shortcomings, but the authentic style, superb combat and worthy graphics more than make up for this.

    RAGE 2's unique visual style and genuinely fun gameplay mechanics ultimately outweigh a bit uninspired mission design, a disappointing story and at times flawed technical execution. If you can live with that, you'll absolutely have fun.

    Remarkably faithful to the source material and always fun to play, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is bogged down by an uninspired story and a huge amount of bugs.

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

    There's still a lot of growth potential in the Dissidia franchise, with its unique 'Bravery' system and strategic qualities. However, Square Enix doesn't exactly pull out all the stops with this iteration.

    An interesting adventure in the hypothetical year 2048, though it lacks replay value and smooth controls. Still, a great story, excellent voice acting and a unique graphical style make this game very much worth your time.

    This is quite a different adventure than we've come to expect from Nathan Drake and his cohorts, but that doesn't make it a bad game. Playing the Uncharted card game is actually a lot of fun. It's accessible and has enough content to remain in your PlayStation Vita for a long time to come.

    Playing it safe isn't always the best option. The severe lack of innovation is one of the reasons MXGP 3 doesn't exactly make for a great purchase. Its long loading time and disruptive physics should also be considered before you put your hard-earned money on the table.

    It's a short game and the 3D perspective is lacking at times. However, those are the only flaws in an otherwise highly enjoyable title in a well-designed Cold War setting. Recommended.

    If you're able to handle the annoying camera and slow pace, Spintires: MudRunner may just surprise you with its deep, varied and challenging gameplay.

    A modernized update of classic gameplay, Oddworld Soulstorm should've been a homerun. Technical issues and annoying checkpoint placement, however, keep the game firmly stuck at second base.

    This isn't a bad game by any means, though the inconsistent AI and lack of innovative modes are enough to make it a disappointing one.

    This multiplayer game is fun for in between thanks to the nice gameplay, but don't expect too much from it. During long play sessions you will notice that it becomes quite monotonous, partly due to the low number of mini-games and modes. Also, there is regular lag in online sessions, which can be a bit annoying. The upside is that the gameplay in itself can be very entertaining.

    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.

    Jack is back, with a story fans will love, a welcome return of the original voice cast and surprisingly deep gameplay. The graphics are plain ugly though and the price tag rather steep, especially if you consider the game's short length.

    The third installment in the WW1 series does not disappoint with recognizable gameplay in a new format, considering the battlefield has moved to Italy. It looks graphically neat, the authenticity is evident and the gameplay can be very hectic. At the same time, though, you have to expect a relatively steep learning curve and somewhat clunky controls on consoles. Nevertheless, Isonzo is a shooter worth mentioning.

    Loading times and clumsy controls aside, Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders is a nice little throwback to the glory days of point & click adventures.

    A lonely affair which is best described as unremarkable. Although the game certainly looks the part, the game is lacking in the sound, the AI and rider mode departments. The multiplayer hardly has any online competitors even though the game has officially been released last week. If you love motorcycles there is surely some fun to be had in perfecting your lap times but at the steep price, you have to really, really dig motorcycles.

    The Vita-version of Football Manager Classic 2014 is both a hit and a miss. On the one hand the game contains all the necessary features and the short challenges are ideal for a handheld title. On the other hand, however, the touchscreen at times makes navigation way too difficult and it's a shame you can't watch the matches live. Well, you can't have everything, I suppose.

    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.

    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.

    This should have been a dream come true, but an annoying camera and the fact that it takes a really long time before you can start building your own worlds keep LEGO Worlds from reaching the lofty heights it aims for. Shame.

    Driveclub VR is almost an entirely new game, that plays wonderfully in VR. Unfortunately, this racing experience falls flat in the graphics department.

    Lacking challenge and decent graphics, NASCAR Heat 2 was never going to be a transcendent racing experience. However, if you're a fan of NASCAR, you'll find a lot to like in the game as well.

    This makes for an enjoyable and often funny experience, though a flawed control scheme, long loading times and annoying menu lay-outs keep it from earning its place amongst the true heroes of the genre.

    At first you'll be having a lot of fun. After a while, though, the gameplay gets terribly repetitive and at times extremely challenging. Some gamers will undoubtedly love this, but most of them won't keep playing all the way to the credits.

    If not for the long waiting times - a remnant of the freemium model the game was initially based on - this would've been a fun experience. Besides that, the decorating of your own house is a fine element of the gameplay.

    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.

    Blue Reflection looks and feels a lot like Persona. It's not flawless, but its beautiful environments, decent gameplay and outstanding soundtrack will keep you immersed for a long time to come.
