Trials of Mana brings the old SNES version of the game to the modern age, but fails to take full advantage of modern possibilities. Graphics have improved but still have odd choices like stiff garments. The balance between very easy random enemies and very tough (mini)bosses is off, requiring more grinding than we want in a modern game. All in all, Trials of Mana fails to fully deliver where its big competitor (FF7) does.- XGN

Saints Row The Third Remastered offers the same as its original game but with a new virtual paint job. This, however, does not mask the problems the original game had, which is definitely a shame and holds back the game in multiple ways. Where the game is not held back is in the department of fun and humour, as is known from the Saints Row franchise. The game truly comes to its right as a co-op game but is still enjoyable as singleplayer.- XGN

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.- XGN

Katamari Forever has become a decent game. This is definitely a game for you if you like Japanese games with some weird features. But unfortunately there isn't any online multiplayer option and the singleplayer won't entertain you for long. So therefore you won't play this game 'forever'.- XGN

F.E.A.R. 3 is a good shooter but never surpasses the very first F.E.A.R. game. The gameplay is very smooth and you'll be playing this campaign multiple times because of the co-op and the different gameplay elements each brother possesses. F.E.A.R. 3 lacks scary moments and that is a pity, seeing how this used to be a key element in the series.- XGN

The Secret World is a breeze of fresh air within the MMO landscape.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the 40K-version of the Vermintide games and Fatshark delivers again a fantastic co-op experience. The combat feels visceral and meaty and is a true upgrade compared to the former games. There are however a lot less classes, even though they all feel unique. Some features are clearly removed during production, so hopefully they will get added next to more classes. Fatshark has already released some updates, so the future is looking bright for Darktide.- XGN

While Princess Peach: Showtime! doesn't offer too much of a challenge and is a bit on the short side, the game nevertheless offers hours of fun. The diversity in costumes ensures that you don't get bored and can't wait for the next level of each costume. It also shows that the idea of Peach as a damsel in distress is in the past. She doesn't need anyone to save her. In fact, she is the hero who saves others, whether that is by decorating cakes or fighting as a Swordsman or Kung Fu master.- XGN

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.

Cubemen is a simplistic tower defense game with a unique style that is best to be enjoyed offline. There are a lot of different game modes to enjoy and the AI is pretty good.

Famicom Detective Club bundles two games for 60 euros. The fact that these are old games meant only for the Asian market is clearly visible. The dialogues are in Japanese and the games are clearly polished in various aspects.

The writing of Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto only justifies the price even more.- XGN

One piece Odyssey celebrates 25 years of the anime by providing a game with gameplay that is at times just as old. The turnbased fights have some interesting new elements, but outside the fights a lot feels oldfashioned.

Whilst Call of Duty Vanguard does not innovate much to push the boundaries of the franchise further, The WWII shooter does deliver a compelling experience. The short, but action-packed single-player offers a nice introduction, although it could be a bit more coherent. The zombies' mode offers some new elements, while still feeling trusted. But by far the biggest reason to like Vanguard is multiplayer. With a nice selection of maps, plenty of modes, and some tweaks to the known formula, it truly delivers.- XGN

SEGA 3D Classics Collection is an enjoyable bundle of games. But nothing more than that. The title is probably the most fun to play for the people most nostalgic about SEGA.- XGN

Especially if you are already a fan of Life is Strange, Double Exposure is worth playing. It will stir up emotions in you again, and your feelings will go in all directions. Max is still the Max we love, although this is not always a plus.- XGN

Chariot is a sidescroller made by developer Frima. Visually the game is very pretty, but it gets bugged by the frustrating gameplay which makes it hard to enjoy.- XGN

This Kirby game looks amazing and for kids it is fun to give them the feeling that they can paint and play at the same time. However it's annoying to use the stylus through he whole game. So therefore it's a bit disappointing.- XGN

Titan Souls knows exactly what it is: a love song to boss battles in video games, combined with a unique combat mechanism. A few frustrations and the short length however keep it from becoming pure greatness.- XGN

LEGO Harry Potter doesn't bring anything new to the LEGO-formula, but the Harry Potter world is still great. Characters feel unique even though casting spells isn't always fun. Thanks to the music and coop you'll forget about that quickly though.- XGN

Bannerlord doesn't excel graphically or in storyline, but makes that up in flexibility and scale. The vibrant world evolves even without the gamer and offers both opportunities and threads that can be exploited. This is a true medieval sandbox where the player can act as he wishes, but always has to face the consequences. While much great effort is put into making this game playable on consoles, the sheer number of options, menus and controls make this better suited for PC.- XGN

Xeodrifter is quite clearly inspired by Metroid, but lacks that game's depth, extensive gameplay and scope. Still, some platform fanatics who crave a challenge will be more than satisfied with Xeodrifter.- XGN

Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is a great way to get to know the Puzzle & Dragons gameplay, and gives the 3DS another great game to play on the go.- XGN
