    With a mediocre story, and infuriating new mechanics, The Edge of Fate makes it clear that Destiny 2’s best days are behind it. With many softlocks and glitches to boot, the new expansion is simply a big old mess.

    The more you play, the more it becomes clear that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 should not have been a full-fledged title. If it had been released at a lower price as an expansion for Modern Warfare 2, there wouldn't have been so much going on, it would probably even have been sufficient. Yet other choices have been made and that ensures that this title will go down in the history books of Call of Duty, but not for the reasons you would like.

    This game was clearly a challenge too big for the developer and they should have been saved from this embarrassment. This game doesn't do the Lord of the Rings franchise, Daedalic or Nacon any favors and it would be best if they avoid games of this size and for a while. With its extremely poor character design, lackluster, boring gameplay and bug ridden mess, this is one title even the biggest LotR fan should avoid.

    Forspoken has a good foundation, but is a mess in execution due to a horrible protagonist, dull combat and technical problems. While there is enough to do in this pretty-looking open world it amounts to very little and so does the story.

    The reboot of Saints Row is failing both as a reboot as well as a good game due to the game running poorly, a sandbox riddled with bugs and a boring story with just a few fun characters. Blowing stuff up is good and all, but Santo Ileso simply isn't a fun place to create chaos in. Driving the expensive cars is simply the best part, but steering clear of Saints Row at launch is by far the best way to go.

    Space Jam A New Legacy The Game doesn't really tie in with the movie. Instead of focusing on basketball, it lets you fight AL-G Rythm's goons in a brawler and a very flat and short one at that. The game can be finished in thirty minutes and even faster if you play with three players. It looks good, but the gameplay is simple. If your kids can't wait to see the movie the game is a good warmup, but nothing more than that.

    Tamarin had one thing going for it: the main character is a very cute monkey. Unfortunately this is literally the only thing which is good in the game. The game lets you walk around with weapons, shooting all kinds of enemies, but there is no real entertainment. The game becomes boring really quickly and doesn't really know where to take you. 40 euros for this game is simply too much.

    Captain Tusbasa can be fun when you grab some of your mates for an all out brawl on the pitch if the scoring mechanic wasn't so dumb. It takes away all of the tension of a match. Skip this one unless you're really keen to experience the so-so campaign for yourself.

    Zombieland Double Tap was a great movie. The game with the subtitle Roadtrip is not so great. Its upsides are the co-op for four players and it's short levels. Unfortunately, there are a lot of downsides. The game is way too short and doesn't always save your progress. Next to that the game never gets really interesting. This could be much better.

    Bubble Bobble 4 Friends tries to capture the magic from the original, but it fails in the end. The gameplay is enjoyable, but it becomes stale really quick, there is no challenge to speak of and the price is too high for what you're getting.

    Terminator Resistance is yet another faulty game based on a movie. The fanservice is the best part of the entire game. Next to that, the graphics are bad, the Terminators are not that intelligent or frightening, and the world and missions are not interesting. Which could have been a shooter to remember has turned out to be another bad part in a series of bad iterations.

    Wolfenstein Cyberpilot has some good ideas, but fails in its execution. It's nauseating if you play longer than 30 minutes. Luckily the game isn't very long you would say, but just when it becomes fun to play the game is already over.

    One Piece World Seeker has ambition, but fails to perfect the execution. The camera is horrible, side quests don't add anything and the large island feels empty. Thankfully the many skills and interesting main quests save what little there is left.

    Jump Force is a mess of a game. It boosts a strong cast of characters and has decent fighting mechanics. The game is just isn't up to par when it comes down to the loading times, framerate and animations.

    Grand Cruise is expensive for what it has to offer with barely half an hour of playtime. As cool as it is to become a Straw Hat Pirate, the two barebones mini-games are boring to play and look pretty bad. Fans of One Piece might enjoy this, but that's it.

    Tennis World Tour is a disgrace for everyone who loves tennis. Don't buy this game, it's a waste of money and time.

    Agony is probably just like hell itself. As you progress further into it, the experience becomes worse.

    TT Isle of Man is not the game we hoped it would be. It lacks in content, which makes the game feel very repetitive after a few hours. It's certainly not worth the price it's asking.

    If you're able to ignore the flaws in the beta of PUBG you see the potential that's in the game. PUBG is super exciting from the very beginning until the very last end, which makes it one of the best Battle Royale games out there. [Early Access Score = 75]

    AereA has good intentions with its musical theme, but unfortunately it doesn’t work out. The aiming is bad, the game is way too easy and gets boring quite fast. The co-op is quite entertaining the first moments, but just for a while.

    It is difficult to find anything nice to say about Akiba's Beat. It ignores all the good elements from previous entries and delivers something extremely bland and poorly-executed. With so many better alternatives available there is no real reason to give Akiba's Beat a try.

    Syberia 3 is a missed opportunity. The game has a nice story and some puzzles are very fun to solve, but the bad controls, the drops in framerate and the awful lip syncing ruin the experience.

    The Crew Calling All Units is something you should not acknowledge. After paying a lot of money to get access to the content of the expansion, you are asked in-game to pay again, to really get access to the already paid for content.

    Super Dungeon Bros has little to no originality. It is repetitive and there is almost no variation. The weapons are not effective, but on the bright side the game is a bit more fun in multiplayer. Still, the game is just not worth buying.

    Ian's Eyes is a game where you play as a guide dog to get your master, the 8-year old and blind Ian, to safety. Besides from the concept, every other aspect makes you wish you would see everything from Ian's point of view.

    The game is awful. The A.I is broken, nothing familiar from the Ghostbusters Universe can be used. The only positive element of this game is the soundtrack.

    This game isn't just a little disappointing. It's by far the worst game to come out this year so far. It's too short and above all very inspirationless.

    MXGP2 doesn't deserve to be the only motocross game of this generation. The game looks ugly, it's technically outdated and has lots of bugs. Don't buy this one.

    The multiplayer options are bafflingly poorly thought-out, which rules this game out as a fun party game. Although some questions are interesting, Battle Trivia Knockout is an uninspired, luck-riddled and overall very limited quiz game.

    Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma Volume 1 fails just about everywhere. The soundtrack and artwork are okay, but it looks old and buggy and the gameplay just isn't good. Next to that you keep getting interrupted while you play the game.
