    Bandai Namco tries again with a relatively new anime, but hopelessly fails. The game looks okay and there is a large amount of characters but that's where the positives end. The campaign is short and far too easy. The amount of combat moves is limited which quickly leads to repetition. A shame.

    Redfall brings a pretty nice visual style and the setting is also very strong in concept, complemented by a good atmosphere. But that's where it stops in terms of good news. Indeed, in execution, the setting is somewhat dull and more problematic are the many technical and graphical problems. The gameplay in itself is also uninspired, never challenging and has somewhat an identity crisis. In the process, the unique skills of the characters hardly show up as meaningful contributions. All in all, Redfall is a huge disappointment plagued by a host of technical shortcomings. Very unfortunate.

    Visiting Hong Kong is a pleasure in Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, especially with the game's cars, which handle well. The game also certainly has potential and fun elements, but everything is grandly negated by persistent connection problems. Even a month after the release it's a challenge to be able to race online... In addition, the performance is lousy and visually it does not impress. With more time, this certainly could have been a good game, but its current state is not the best.

    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.

    Adam's Venture: Origins is fun, mainly because of its enjoyable story and engaging puzzles. However, its short length makes the price tag seem unreasonable, especially when you consider the fact that Adam's gameplay antics haven't exactly aged well.

    It starts off well enough, but the lack of challenge and humor, as well as the episode's short length, drag the experience down. The story's interesting, but so far it's not enough to keep this ship floating.

    Bound By Flame is an ambitious action RPG with a lacklustre story, an annoying camera and disappointing graphics. It's a nice attempt at greatness, though it doesn't quite nail the high notes.

    There's a lot of potential here, thanks to the game's interesting characters and intriguing storyline. The controls are a bit clumsy though and the puzzles often more confusing than enjoyable. In other words: there's definitely room for major improvement in the following episodes.

    Fun to play with friends, not so much on your own. There's potential here, though a huge load of bugs manages to annoy and frustrate the player, leaving him or her with the impression that this full-priced game is far from a finished product. Shame.

    A very noble effort to translate the grueling Dakar rally into a videogame while staying true to the spirit of rally racing. Die hard rally fans can and surely will enjoy Dakar 18 but more casual racing fans less so. Navigating is a pain and the different types of vehicles don't all control very well. On top of that , the long load times that riddle the game when you attempt to restart from a checkpoint don't do the game any favors either.

    The story is worthy of the name, but unfortunately the rest of the game is nowhere near as good as the series it is based on. This could and should have been much better.

    Daymare 1998 is a commendable attempt at 90s horror nostalgia... though its excruciatingly slow controls, frustrating inventory system and problematic framerate make for a near unplayable experience. Shame, cause there's some promise beneath the misery.

    When the original is so bad you would never even consider replaying it, you'd think the developers have learned their lesson. They didn't, however. Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 sucks. It has numerous bugs and glitches, the AI is embarrassing, the graphics are worthless... and so on. Leave this on the shelf of your local game store... or do everyone a favor and cover it with a different, better game.

    A South Park game is always welcome, and Ubisoft has shown how to do it. THQ Nordic, on the other hand, is showing how not to do it. The levels are rather simplistic, the combat is stiff, it gets repetitive very quickly and the game has difficulty spikes. On top of that, South Park in 3D feels strange and the game just isn't that engaging. Still, to end on a positive note, the AI is okay and the original voices are used. However, that is not enough to justify a purchase.

    The spiritual successor to Mega Man lacks context and piles on the technical mistakes. There's something to build upon here, but as of now, it's not exactly what we (or anyone) would call great.

    It's fun in co-op... kind of... I guess? Hell, there's really no need to sugar coat this: technically subpar and nigh unplayable due to a frustrating camera and horrible controls, Contra: Rogue Corps simply cannot be recommended to anyone.

    Balan Wonderworld offers a great story, accompanied by an absolutely wonderful soundtrack. That's about all it offers, though. In the end, mediocre graphics and rough gameplay make for a rather disappointing package.

    True to its name, Disaster Report 4 is a disaster to behold. Mostly in the audio and visuals department, though its gameplay isn't interesting enough to keep you playing either.

    G.I. Joe is faithful to its source of inspiration, with a great cast of characters and locations, as well as an overall atmosphere worthy of the brand name. Everything else, though, breathes mediocrity, from the lacklustre AI to the overly simple level design. Shame, cause there's a lot of potential in this license.

    The augmented reality made the Invizimals franchise a lot of fun. If you take that away, you get a platforming experience that is mediocre at best and on top of that highly forgettable. Children might get a bit of mileage out of it; everyone else shouldn't come within a mile of this disappointing product.

    Snowboarding is back... and this game made us wonder whether that's actually a good thing. Aren't some things meant to stay dead?

    Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot works like gangbusters. It makes you feel the impact and brutality of every dog fight, effectively 'as if you're truly there'. It's brief though, and won't win any awards in the graphics department.

    Some cute references to the original games and well executed cut scenes don't prevent this title from being overly simplistic and -even worse- broken in the gameplay department. The AI is absolutely horrible, voice acting is atrocious and we don't even want to talk about the barely functional stealth gameplay. All in all a game that should be avoided like the black plague.

    VEV's low price tag is a plus, as is the unique concept behind the game. You should keep in mind though that VEV also offers extremely repetitive gameplay and controls that don't always work the way they should.

    It's Limbo, but a bit too short and bolstering repetitive puzzles as its main attraction. Shame, because its enjoyable atmosphere has potential.

    The original game was a lot of fun, but this PS4 port feels and looks extremely outdated. If you want to play a DS game on PS4 though, be our guest.

    All three PC adventures of Adam Venture now arrive on PS3 in an interesting, challenging and often funny package. There's some technical hick-ups (especially visually) and the controls aren't as smooth as they should be, but that shouldn't stop puzzle fans from considering a purchase.

    Zorro presents a game meant for young kids, but the developer underestimates a bit what the standard is these days. This makes only the youngest kids will get some fun out of it. For the rest, it's a disappointment. The game is too easy, does nothing special and has little variation. There are also annoying bugs that make Zorro The Cronicles a game to avoid.

    The world is beautiful and mysterious and the great music definitely contributes to this nice setting but the game itself somewhat disappoints. There's plenty of technical issues, the letterboxing format blocks your view and the game feels segmented due to being split up into levels. You don't always know where you're going either. A missed opportunity.

    The web swinging's the best it's ever been, but the uninspired story, buggy game world and haphazardly thrown together gameplay elements make for an awkward, ill-structured and often downright unfinished gaming experience. The human spider deserves better.
