The Surge is a fun and challenging role playing game with mechanics known from Dark Souls. Its world looks beautiful, and the looting and crafting system gives the player a lot of freedom. All in all, The Surge is a fun game.

It's good to see that Electronic Arts isn't just producing one Sims add-on after the other. The Sims Medieval provides a solid medieval experience but fails in depth. It's a shame that you can't build your own castles.

The Devil in Me is a worthy final chapter in this season of The Anthology. It provides a believable, interesting story that carefully builds tension, but also provides space to build out the releations between the team members. The game is firmly rooted in a classic horror story of a team trapped in a remote location and an all-powerful, manipulative enemy, but the execution really delivers.

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition brings Vergil to the party. The new character gets his own share in the game and you get to complete the whole story as the katana wielding demonslayer. It brings a whole new dimension to this already cool game. Next to that the game has various next-gen upgrades like ray tracing and a higher framerate. You'll have to choose which one you want to activate, so a full nxt-gen experience is out of the question. Still, a worthy upgrade to a brutal game.

Despite the beautiful and fluent gameplay, the game has its flaws on the Switch.

The Ascent provides a vibrant, living environment for you to run around in and shoot at. The world is brimming with walking-talking NPCs and neon-filled areas. While the story isn't really that memorable, it's decent enough for you to push on to the next mission, which will lead you to diverse locations and up against different enemies. The bigger enemies can be a bit too much bullet sponges, but otherwise the gameplay and diverse possibilities are quite satisfying.

This game looks better than before and contains some good improvements. It plays faster and feels more dramatic. There is a lack of enough offline content but online it's better than ever.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon does everything wrong, but not in a bad way. All of the clichés and bad lines actually make it a very funny experience. You can almost call it art.

This game is so much fun for almost everybody. It looks great and is nice to play. You would enjoy this much as you love Mario Kart games. The levels are well designed, especially where you see Gargamal and the famous red cat. It's also nice that there are two ways to race: a normal version and a faster one. The latter is not even easy.

Need for Speed The Run is currently the best arcade racing title. It feels like a Hollywood experience. Unfortunately the campaign has a short length but you can spend many hours on the multiplayer and all of the challenges.

Wolfenstein Youngblood takes a different approach than previous Wolfenstein installments. Co-op instead of solo-adventuring and a bigger emphasis on exploring. Aside from some small hickups with stealth and enemies, it's a blast from beginning to end.

Planet Alpha reminds us of Limbo and Inside. The gameplay is similar if you think how these games use platform elements and puzzles to drop you in a world without giving you any context. Still it’s a great game with lots of details and a great atmosphere.

Even though the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 has some performance issues, especially with the Phantom Liberty expansion, there is still a great experience to be had.

Zone of the Enders HD Collection has become a beautiful package. Both games offer original gameplay. Even though they are eleven years old, a surprising fact. The barrier between the two games can be pointed out as a negative thing, but both games are good enough to enjoy them throughout the full ride. This package belongs in your collection, no matter what.

Some problems from earlier games remain however, and with the egregious microtransactions in The Island, the game is held back from the same greatness as its coverstar Roman Reigns.

Thief is a decent game, however not as brilliant as expected. The game had some strange issues during the gameplay, although the atmosphere is still great. Nevertheless the game itself is not super, yet still decent enough with well thought out characters.

A re-release for Switch 2 that is full of puzzling content, but adds little to the original game. If you've never played a Puy Puyo Tetris, this is an excellent game that will keep you entertained for many hours. If you already own the original, this Switch 2 release adds too little to warrant double dipping.

A fast, complex futuristic arcade racer that doesn't shy away from doing things differently. This one is not for everyone, but those that can master the controls and keep their cool will have a blast.

Rise of the Tomb Kings adds another worthwhile experience to the Total War Warhammer series. The gameplay of the DLC is well balanced in terms of features and units, although the add-on works better during Mortal Empires than the Great Vortex campaign.

The Sims 3: Showtime manages to make The Sims even completer then it already is. It perfectly responds to what the target audience wants and completes the social aspect of the game totally. This is one of those expansions that you simply cannot miss.

Why is this game not available for consoles? It's so much fun! Good combination of puzzles, humor and nice levels.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a great game for the iPad. Despite some restrictions, Enemy Unknown is a great addition for the iPad. It has the same level of tactical movements as its brothers for the consoles.

Quantum Conundrum is a great puzzle game. The different dimensions give the game a unique feel and the cartoony style is nicely chosen. The controls are a bit sensitive, but it's not too bad. If you like solving puzzles, you are going to like Quantum Conundrum.

The Hidden Ones DLC continues where it left off and it's mostly more of the same, which is excellent if you loved Assassin's Creed Origins. We would have liked to see more variety and more beauty in the region, but it's still a must play for the fans.

The Giana Sisters are back with an Directowl's Cut of their Twisted Dreams adventure. The game is good for more than 20 hours of entertainment. The game plays fluidly and the worlds are original, but there are some small flaws. Still, the game rocks.

Borderlands 4 is for the most part a big step forward. The gameplay feels better than ever, the Vault Hunters have much more personality and you get tons of movement upgrades. The world however is not as diverse as previous games, the structure of the story makes it feels a lot smaller and Gearbox hasn't yet mastered the technical side of the game. Hopefully the technical problems can be fixed before launch.

The tone has been set for the first season of Hitman. De gameplay feels familiar plays better than any other Hitman game. The concept of releasing the game in episodes is new, and we'll have to see how things work out but episode one is definitely a good start. Some could say the amount of content is a bit scarce, with only one fundamental level, but that doesn't take away the fact that there's plenty to do in Hitman.

The four multiplayer maps in the Supremacy DLC all have a unique appearance and this makes the Supremacy DLC a beautiful addition to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Playing with gravity is fun, especially when it's so clean and simple like in the super retro game VVVVVV. The graphics make it feel like an old game from the late 1980's, but at the same time it's so refreshing and fun that it fits perfectly in the year 2012. Respawning is fast and there are many checkpoints, so this game does hardly get very frustrating. We do miss the option to make and share levels though.

Rockstar shows with this new expansion there is still a lot more to bring into the Wild West. Liars and Cheats has a lot of fun game modes to offer that will keep all of you online cowboys entertained.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a joy to play, particularly in co-op, as two players can spot more secrets than one. However: co-op is also the game's greatest weakness as everything revolves around player one: it's a dated approach to co-op compared to newer games that treat all players as equal participants. Thankfully, improved graphics and great additional content make this new version of Return to Dream Land truly "Deluxe".

NieR Replicant hits home thanks to some amazing combat and an intriguing story that keeps you entertained throughout. Although the story does drag a little sometimes there is a lot to love, especially thanks to the different endings.

Rockstar shows with this new expansion there is still a lot more to bring into the Wild West. Liars and Cheats has a lot of fun game modes to offer that will keep all of you online cowboys entertained.

Blur plays like a more serious Mario Kart and will give you plenty of online fun. The singleplayer lacks variety but this shouldn't stop arcade gamers from buying it.

This game is a brainless shooter that has almost no depth. There haven't been to many improvements over the first game but the results look promising. The multiplayer modes are pretty good and it's one of the main reasons why you might want to play this game.

Fight Night Round 4 is absolutely the best boxing title on the market right now. The controls work perfectly and it all just looks really nice. Buy this game and get ready for some punches in the ring.

Assassin's Creed brings us the first big DLC. Jack the Ripper is in town and chaos arises. An interesting story to say the least.

Starfield is a Bethesda RPG in every sense of the word. It offers a large, rich and intriguing world, filled with sidequests and a mysterious main story. The possibility to enter your spaceship and explore the galaxy and fight space pirates is really fun. It has however a few strange bugs, the graphics can change a lot and firefights miss something extra. We’re certain though that RPG fans can easily spend hundreds of hours in Starfield.

Tropico 5 on PS4 is just as fun as the PC version. The controls are surprisingly intuitive and the gameplay is addictive. Viva la revolucion!

Destiny 2: Lightfall hits a lot of great notes. The new subclass, Strand, is very cool to use and gives you a lot of new movement options. Neomuna is a true sight to behold and invites players to explore. The most important part of the expansion however is the campaign and even though it has a lot of amazing and cool moments, the story falls short. Lightfall offers up more questions while we should have been getting some answers.

Land of the Morning Light is a change of pace for Black Desert, but it works pretty well. The folklore stories are beautiful and set players up for the endgame-system, although new players don't learn a lot about combat.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is definitely a lot better then the previous Spider-Man games. However some more innovation would have been nice.

Sky Force Reloaded is a great game from the arcade times. And now it’s playable on the Switch. Prepare to go in a bullet hell full of challenges. You’ll get the most fun out of it with two players, but the game gives you a fair challenge when playing alone.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is definitely a lot better then the previous Spider-Man games. However some more innovation would have been nice.

Oh, sweet memories. NES Remix 2 knows, just like the first, to make gamers dream about those days when they we're little, playing Mario et cetera. NES Remix 2 has a bit too much of that Mario, we would have rather seen some more other classics, but other than that it is a great game to play (off-TV). It is very addictive to make sure to complete all mini-games with three stars, and in some cases very difficult just like NES games are supposed to be.

Awesomenauts is truly awesome and lets you play with deep characters in a fun tactical eighties environment. The game is unbalanced at times and there aren't too many characters and maps, but that shouldn't stop you from buying this game.

Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is brimming with content, both offline and multiplayer online. Even if you are only interested in one of the two, you'll find plenty to do. The port to Switch can be considered a success, as only the local co-op split screen seems to be missing. It's quite a feat to pack this much content into one package.

Mafia II lets you experience the story of mafia member Vito. Although Mafia II is not perfect, the game was worth waiting for and offers a cinematic touch. Now we wait for extra content, because a real criminal simply can't stop working!

Risen is a successful RPG that looks really good and offers a lot of fun gameplay, which keeps you busy for hours and hours. However it's a pity that the game offers less innovation.

TrackMania 2: Canyon does everything you can expect of an arcade race game and much more. It's easy for starters and still offers a big enough challenge for the more experienced players. The editor is easy to use and gives players the chance to show off their coolest creations.

Rock of Ages is a bizarre and unique game that mixes the strategy of a tower defence game with the balance and craziness of a Super Monkey Ball game. The result is great but the often slow camera movements and mediocre graphics might put you off.

Mighty Switch Force was a great game on the 3DS, but it exceeds itself on the Wii U. The gameplay is excellent and the new style looks absolutely fantastic. The hyper stages are a great addition to the game.

Football Manager 2017 is by far the most complete simulation game that every football fan will enjoy. New features will bring the game another step closer to reality. Though apart from the match engine and transfers it feels a little limited.

Claustrophobic scenarios, frequently nailbiting and near-dead experiences; This is Resident Evil at its best. Revelations is horrifying and controls very well thanks to the Circle Pad Pro. Without a doubt a must buy title for the 3DS.

This game is fun to to play. The gameplay is addictive. However, 50 euros is way too much for an old game.

Dishonored Definitive Edition ports the 2012 original version to the powerful Xbox One and PlayStation 4, including all DLC. That means better graphics and extra content. There are some downsides, but there is no better moment to start playing Dishonored.

F1 Manger 2022 is a strong management game that eases you into the role of managing your entire F1 team. On the get-go, you get introduced to the basics, but the more complex options are for you to find out. Some implementations leave room for improvement, especially the handling of DRS and tyre-choices. The races are visualized excellently. ideal for those new or interested in the sport, but those that find themselves experts might find it lacking in tweaking options.

Dying Light 2 has proven to be a brilliant zombie game, thanks to the great parkour and combat mechanics. The story however is a bit flawed due to some really strange twists.

Anarcute is a fun little game in which you try to free the world from brain washing enemies. The game is surprisingly strategic, and the replayability is nice as well. Anarcute tends to feel a bit repetitive during longer play sessions though.

If you’re looking for an addictive co-op game, don’t hesitate to buy Strange Brigade! This game is very cool, from beginning to end. Nevertheless, if you want to play alone it can be much less enjoyable. Its best played with a group of friends, then you’ll have a grin from ear to ear.

Super Mario Maker 3DS is the most complete Mario experience ever made on a handheld. The level editor is just as simple as last year. Unfortunately there is no way to upload your own levels on a online network, but overall this is a decent Mario title.

Catherine Full Body throws you into the most puzzling affair you could ever imagine. This action-adventure puzzle games about the ups and downs of relationships captivate from start to finish thanks to its creative story and it's difficult yet fun puzzles. The only downside is that the camera and the controls are a bit slippery in this Switch version.

This Vita version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 plays and looks just as great as its console-brothers. It does not add anything other than a horrible touch-mode, however.

Alienation looks great and is a very entertaining game if you are playing with friends. There are a few hiccups in the online multiplayer and there is no offline multiplayer. If you want to play a classic arcade shooter with friends this is your game.

The Fallout 76 Wastelanders update might be the salvation of the game. The free expansion finally adds NPCs to the world and adds a lot of new content. Bethesda also improved the graphics, in particular the lighting system. It's still not technically perfect however and the new additions come with their own problems. Still, the Wastelanders update is a giant leap for Fallout 76.

The season finale of Telltale's Game of Thrones has its moments, but the story of Gared is disappointing as there are some game-breaking glitches. However, the overall impact of the choices is very good and may give us a good glimpse for the next season.

The King of Fighters XV is a great fighting game and SNK did a good job on bringing it up to par with the likes of the competition. However the game has a fantastic roster, great gameplay and is looking fantastic, there are still a few things missing. You can't really unlock things, there aren't as many modes as you would wish and the story just isn't that long. If those things were better, then the game which already kicks ass, would bring even the greatest of competitors on its knees.

L.A. Noire still is a great detective game. With 4K resolution and HDR support it looks better than ever. The strong ambiance and gameplay remains and all the DLC is included. Though not much has changed and some technical flaws are there, it kicks ass.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is the long0awaited result of a Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem cross-over. The game provides quite the challenge, but a challenge that's worth experiencing because of it's light-hearted story and traditional JRPG gameplay.

Even though there are still some bugs left The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is a really fun experience. The game plays wonderfully and Lady Katarina is an awesome sidekick. This is a great starting point if you want to get your hands on an Action RPG for the first time.
