Unfortunately, it also somewhat overstays its welcome when the last hours repeat a lot of what you already know. The Switch port isn't flawless, but will suit you just fine if this is your platform of choice.

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is an amazing game thanks to its fantastic battle system, brilliant story and loveable cast of characters.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a very good racing game that brings back the extreme arcade racing from the older games in the series. It's the Need for Speed we all used to know, covered in a brand new coating.

Super Mario 3D World already was a great game worth buying, but with the online coop and Bowser's Fury, it justifies another purchase on the Switch. The game looks and feels great, even with four players. It also brings a bit of a challenge for anyone trying to find all secrets but stays accessible for kids who just want to play. Bowser's Fury on the other hand feels a bit short and lacks a worthy coop. Still, this content is great to play, but don't expect a full adventure.

It is too bad baseball is not very popular in Holland, because Out of the Park Baseball 15 is ten times better than it's predecessor.

Rolling Gunner + Overpower is a really cool shmup. The game gives you a big spree from the start and lets you battle huge bosses with bullet hell guns. Unfortunately the game is really short and there is no co-op mode available. Still ,this is a game you must play, even if the price is a bit high.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is even more approachable than its predecessors. The game includes a lot of diverse activities, and because of that it never feels repetitive. All the game asks of you is a little bit of patience.

With a welcome new location, two beloved heroes and a tight storyline that combines main and sidequests like never before, Infinite Wealth might be less crazy than before, but much more compelling and coherent.

Unfortunately the few new things aren't all useful and the game doesn't support the other Rock Band content. However, this game is full of Flower Power and therefore you really need to play this at least once in your life.

The Last of Us Part 1 is a questionable remake of the beloved PS3 game. While the improvements are there, they come in small forms. For new players, this is the way to go, but fans of the original should probably wait for a price cut because the small improvements definitely do not justify the price.

By making The Beatles: Rock Band, Harmonix did a really good job and the game is certainly good in all ways.

Fallout 4 is the most complete game Bethesda Game Studios has ever created. The studios lifted exploring a nuclear wasteland to yet another level.

Capcom took what they learned from years of Monster Hunter and improved upon it in Wilds. The combat feels great, the world is alive and there's lots of fashion to boot.

This game plays well but there's a big lack of innovation. The multiplayer has shown some improvements but furthermore the game is exactly like you would expect.

A little too late? Maybe. It all depends on if you already played Deus Ex: Human Revolution. If not, you have no more reasons to not buy this game. Square Enix really enhanced the game, turning the Gamepad into a 'augmention'. If you already played Deus Ex: Human Revolution, then pray for a sequel!

Dishonored is an essential purchase for the self-respecting lover of videogames. The game offers an intelligent and exciting experience which makes this one of the best games of the year. Dunwall is just as impressive in Dishonored as Rapture was in BioShock, and the magic powers are incredibly awesome to use. Eventually there is nothing to criticize this game for. A true must have.

Brotherhood brings us one step closer to the third instalment of Assassin's Creed. The singleplayer is great but Ubisoft surprises just about everyone with some kickass multiplayer modes.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is an even greater version of a already amazing game. Rebirth addresses the frame-rate issues of the original and adds new items and bosses to shoot your tears at.

NHL 10 is a very good game, but it misses big innovations. For the people who don’t own a ice-hockey game, this game is definitely worth buying. But for the people that already own NHL 09, this is only a small upgrade and not really worth the money.
