    Not exactly the dream sequel fans of NieR were expecting, but still a highly enjoyable experience, thanks in part to the intriguing stories, the fluent gameplay and a wonderful soundtrack.

    Finally, Tropico makes its debut on a PlayStation console and it's a great first appearance. Tropico 5 is a wonderful city builder, the mechanics of which are well-adapted to the PlayStation 4. Get this if you're a genre fan.

    Although the launch of Helldivers 2 did not go smoothly on pc, the game is worth it. The game excels in co-op, is addictive, offers fine gunplay and tremendous depth. In everything, the perfect sequel. If you liked the original, you're in the right place. Newcomer and looking for a good and fun co-op game? Then Helldivers 2 is a must have.

    Three great games, but that was already the case when these games came out in the PlayStation 2 era. If you haven't played them, buy this. If you have… well, I guess that depends on how much of a fan you are.

    LittleBigPlanet Karting is the first racer in the LBP universe and it's immediately a success. The game is varied, filled with fun races and other gameplay aspects. The level editor works great, increasing the score even more. The only negative point we could find was the lack of challenge in the single-player, which is fortunately the only negative point.

    The graphics aren't state-of-the-art and the story isn't that well-told. That said, spectacular combat and a wonderful environment to wander around in save Dragon's Dogma from the purgatory of mediocrity.

    Everbody's Golf does its title justice and delivers a near perfect virtual golf experience accessible to everyone looking to shoot some holes.

    Well, this is The Walking Dead alright and as a game it's a lot better than Telltales' Jurassic Park. It's not perfect, though, as the lip-synch is often a bit off and the overall length of the game leaves you wanting more. A lot more.

    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.

    This game once started as extra content and it shows, the story is on the short side at just over 10 hours. Fortunately, the game has enough to offer through its minigames and extra content to keep you entertained for a long time, although you have to reckon with somewhat mediocre pacing and remarkably, lumbering animations. With that said, by the way, we can recommend this title to any fan of the franchise.

    Tense, engaging and at times truly shocking... if you love the franchise, you'll definitely enjoy this pilot episode. What's even better than the episode in itself, is the potential for some genuinely brilliant storytelling in the future of the series. Get this.

    The first games from this beloved franchise are finally available on PlayStation 4 and we couldn't be happier. These games suit the PlayStation 4 well and altogether this package will guarantee hours upon hours of entertainment. All of the cases you'll deal with are very diverse and the charismatic characters will ensure you'll have a blast for a long, long time to come. Definitely recommended.

    A great party racegame! You'll be crashing and burning for a very long time after buying DiRT Showdown and we assure you that you won't regret spending your hard-earned money on it.

    The remake of System Shock has been a long time coming, but the result is definitely worth it. A technically solid achievement, the story is intriguing and the setting is brought out fantastically. In fact, almost everything is fine with this title, were it not for the fact that it has a very high entry threshold. It is oldschool game design and that is not something we see much of today. Also, the Cyberspace fragments are not that engaging, but these are two blemishes on an otherwise refined game.

    Triangle Strategy can feel a bit overwhelming and the resolution in handheld mode is not really fine, but with these points mentioned the praise begins. Because the game provides you with a very exciting and captivating story, has a high replay value through the choices you make, has many scenarios and the tough but tactical combat is the icing on the cake. An excellent game for the Nintendo Switch.

    This remake of the original Star Ocean: The Second Story picks up well. The updated visual style is pleasant to look at, and the new additions to the combat provide more variety and fun to play. Add engaging characters and an interesting story and you have an entertaining title on your hands. Content-wise, there is little to criticize, although the core gameplay is mostly button mashing and the story is also somewhat cliched, but these are only minor points of criticism.

    A great online multiplayer experience and a rather uninteresting singleplayer campaign. No surprises here.

    Whether you choose to help the citizens of Seattle or fry their brains, you'll probably be having a good time. The first time around, at least. Oh, and did we mention the graphics are absolutely stunning? Well, there you go.

    The camera's a bit awkward and playing in co-op severely reduces the challenge, but other than that this is one fine action/platform game with a couple of unique bossfights and truly imaginative puzzles as the unmistakable highlights.

    Blasters of the Universe is an Virtual Reality homage to the almost forgotten shmup genre. It reinvigorates the genre with panache however and the game provides an insane amount of replayability if you're willing to put time and effort into it. And get ready to break a sweat since playing this game on Hell mode will seriously wear you out. A great first title from developer The Secret Location and we want more.

    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.

    A great collection, though the lack of any real gameplay in Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded is a weak point.

    A remake of a pretty dated game which turns out very well. The story remains fantastic, especially with the addition of some new scenes. The mini games never fail to be funny either. This remake is a prime example of how to do a remake and Yakuza fans and newcomers alike can blindly purchase this game.

    This expansion puts destiny 2 back on the map. Great story, beautiful destinations, awesome Supers, plenty of content, an excellent new multiplayer mode called Gambit and to top it all off a stellar new raid for you to sink your teeth in. Long story short; the Destiny 2: Forsaken DLC is exactly what you'd expect and what the base game needs. If they could only fix that framerate though.

    More of the same, but since "the same" is still a lot of fun, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel remains warmly recommended.

    The final episode of Life is Strange 2 brings closure, though the shape this takes depends on the choices you've made throughout the rest of the season. The different endings are more than worth it and enough to forget about the regularly hiccuping framerate.

    Splatoon is back with a third installment that comes off excellently. The various new weapons, decent single player and excellent multiplayer, make this a title that will keep you entertained for a long time. Graphically it is a bit shaky, but we have to take that for granted. After all, Nintendo delivers with Splatoon 3 an excellent game that is especially great when it comes to gameplay.

    Solving Simulacra's central mystery is a lot of fun, especially thanks to its authentic atmosphere, terrific jumpscares and challenging puzzles. The controls are often a bit too complex, though - probably due to its origins as a mobile game.

    The sequel to Octopath Traveler goes down the same route, so it plays somewhat safe. The strong stories keep you engaged and visually it is appealing, but be aware that the performance is not optimal on the Switch. That said, there is little else to fault with the game and fans of the original can buy this title blindly.
