Going on an adventure with Quill in Virtual Reality is an utter joy. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and radiates a magical atmosphere throughout the entire experience. Unfortunately, it is also rather short considering it's fairly steep price tag but that shouldn't prevent you from having a blast while it lasts. Recommended.

A lot of people have complained about the look of the new Devil May Cry and frankly, they should just play the game instead. Ninja Theory has changed things up quite a bit, but they haven't touched the core of the franchise. DmC is an excellent hack & slash game which has a few problems, but then again: nobody's perfect.

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

Codemasters strikes again! Technically great and filled to the brim with content, this is quite simply one of the best rally games ever made.

If you loved the old Crash Bandicoot titles, you'll have a blast with this one. Detailed, challenging levels; recognisable, yet innovative gameplay... this game has it all. The annoying camera may lead to some frustration at times, but don't let that stop you from diving headfirst into Crash' new adventures. It's about time? Damn right!

As a successor the game definitely improves on a couple of aspects whereas other elements are not realized as well. Both graphically and in terms of content you definitely won't be bored anytime soon. Boss fights are great fun and the combat system in general works really well, although it does rely a bit much on hack 'n slash. Strategy therefore takes a backseat which is a shame. Another point of concern is the framerate which can be somewhat unstable at times.

Still as much of a tactical joy as you remember. Very much worth picking up (again).

Codemasters expanded last year on the 2016 base game and they're doing the same thing for the 2018 iteration. F1 2018 is the best Formula 1 game to date since there is more depth than ever, more classic cars to use and many more features. If you're a fan of the sport, you're in for a good time yet at the same time the penalty system still is as inconsistent as it ever was and the AI can pull some weird stunts from time to time.

Persona 4 Arena was a fine spin-off and this new iteration continues the trend with more depth and a longer story mode, that, however, lacks a bit of gameplay action. Newcomers are strongly advised to start with the previous one, by the way.

A great ending to the impressive World of Assassination trilogy, Hitman III offers impressive level design, lots of options and a VR-mode that's very much worth playing. There are some small technical issues, but they're nowhere near prominent enough to hamper your enjoyment.

Skating in 2.5D is a real pleasure with OlliOll World. The gameplay is almost perfect and thanks to the creative levels with plenty to do, the game has a high replayability. This is accompanied by a fine learning curve, an excellent soundtrack, many customization options and so on. That the story is not that interesting you have to accept, because the rest is excellent! Must have.

Finally a truly decent Lord of the Rings game, with an intriguing story, quality gameplay and exciting setting.

The design of this game is shown to its best advantage in a situation where the gameplay is challenging. All this in a large world with plenty to do makes Shin Megami Tensei V a successful and enjoyable title. Just be aware that the resolution is a little low and the story not very exciting. Fortunately, the gameplay makes up for this.

A new year, a new F1 game. This one boosts an elaborate story mode, that's somehow both clichéd and very much worth experiencing. On top of that, F1 2021 also has a number of significant improvements over its predecessor. There's still some clumsy animations, though, so take that into account.

Subtle improvements and a batch of new features keep Blazblue on track, though its graphics are in dire need of an upgrade.

This is one of the few truly unique titles on the PlayStation Vita and you should definitely buy it. It's not perfect - save synching doesn't work the way it should and we sure would have wanted some more albums to lengthen the running time - but then again: nothing really is.

Dark Souls in 2D? Yes, please!

Forza Motorsport is a delightful racing game. The extensive career mode provides plenty of racing fun, online it all works fine and the amount of cars makes it a Valhalla for car enthusiasts. Add to that the fact that audiovisually it is really enjoyable. Does that make the game perfect? Not quite unfortunately, the AI is not optimal and still needs some work, and also the career mode can use some more variety. Nevertheless, this is an excellent sim racer on the Xbox that has a lot to offer.

A fleshed out story to keep you playing and gameplay depth that will have you coming back over and over again... What more can you want from a game? Yakuza: Like A Dragon is a breath of the freshest air; a new beginning that leaves us desperately begging for more.

It's not spectacularly innovating and the graphics are in dire need of improvement, but other than that NBK 2K14 manages to tweak its gameplay enough to justify the new installment in the franchise. We could do without the clumsy menus and stupid dialogue, though.

Unparalleled gameplay makes DiRT Rally 2.0 Codemasters' ultimate 2019 rally simulator. The game offers challenging stages, the difficulty setting is variable which makes the game just a tad more accessible this time around. The audio is fantastic, the cars look great and we could praise this game for pretty much everything it does. More locations would have been nice but don't let that stop you from buying the best rally game that is currently out there.

A great race game, which definitely puts EA's Need For Speed franchise back on the map.

Storywise, it's the logical evolution of Human Revolution, but it's gameplay is recycling its predecessor here and there. That's not a bad thing, though the framerate issues are a little less easy to forgive.

Thumper is a fast-paced experience that will challenge you. It plays well in virtual reality and looks great. Long story short: one of the better - if not the best - PlayStation VR launch games out there.

Visually stunning and old-fashionedly adventurous, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a great swang song for this memorable franchise. You'll miss Nathan Drake and his signature quips, though... and be unpleasantly surprised by the bugs that every now and then rear their ugly heads.

Solid gameplay that has a lot of depth due to the new additions. Whether you're playing on- or offline, you won't get bored because of the insane amount of content. SoulCalibur VI is a fine continuation of the franchise and fight fans will love it. The arenas in which the fighting takes place sometimes feel a bit void of action apart from the one on one matches going on but don't let that detract you from what is a great game.

The remake brings several good quality of life improvements, new content, a newly recorded soundtrack and more. The visual style chosen also fits perfectly, making the experience feel timeless. So for fans and newcomers alike, this game is excellent to get in on, although it is a bit curious that a 4K at 60fps option is missing. Also, the encounter rate is just a bit too high, which can be a bit annoying.

Lone Survivor might just be the purest survival horror game of this generation, leaving the player to desperately fend for himself, without offering him any clear information whatsoever on what's going on. One-man developer Jasper Byrne manages to use what are essentially GameBoy Color graphics to his advantage, suggesting horrors rather than flatout confronting the player with them, and expertly using creepy sound design to strengthen the experience. The map mechanics suck and it's a shame the game doesn't last very long, but horror fans can't go wrong with Lone Survivor.
