    Skylanders SuperChargers is a great game with lots of innovations and changes. Donkey Kong and Bowser both add a lot to the game, which is interesting for any Nintendo fan. This starterpack is definitely worth the money.

    Rocket League has finally arrived on Xbox One. Unfortunately there are no groundbreaking extras in this version. But the game is still very fun to play.

    A great, deep and entertaining baseball sim without a tutorial to welcome newcomers.

    With the next-gen consoles the public looks more alive than ever. The feeling of a ‘twelfth man’ behind you is overwhelming. A steady home victory for FIFA.

    Colin McRae: DiRT 2 has beautiful graphics, great gameplay and contains more than enough races and tournaments for hardcore racing fans. But besides all that, the game is also very accessible for gamers without any racing experience. Therefore DiRT 2 is truly is a great title.

    Pragmata is a visually stunning game that blends hacking, shooting, and much more into one seamless experience. The game looks incredible and effortlessly has you multitasking as if it’s second nature. Meanwhile, Diana easily steals the spotlight as the cutest android ever.

    Diablo III: Reaper of Souls brings the new, refreshing content the fans have been waiting for. With the new storyline, the Crusader and the Adventure Mode, you can spend hours bashing monsters again. Sadly, in some ways the expansion looks more like a big patch which makes Reaper of Souls look a bit too expensive.

    PES 2016 is arguably the best PES game to date, and combines dynamic and addictive gameplay with beautiful physics and graphics. EA had better step up their game this year.

    Titanfall 2 offers players an amazing campaign, but the multiplayer is very disappointing. This makes the game just average overall, which is a waste because it could have been so much better.

    Rayman Origins is the best platform game for the current generation of consoles. The old fashioned gameplay will be loved by many gamers, and the offline co-op mode is outstanding. Hail Rayman!

    Terror Billy is back and it is time for a revolution! Once again we hunt nazi's and it had never been as much fun as now. We get a story with humor and dark elements and the gameplay is a smooth but challenging ride. This is a must buy.

    Tom Happ has delivered a true Metroidvania game. The world is huge and offers something to discover around every corner. The game is not that challenging and the controls could have been better, but this is still a must have for the Switch.

    There is finally a great classic role-playing game for the pc, and we love it. Thanks to Kickstarter's funds Larian Studio's has made a game that everybody will remember. Despite some unhandy mistakes Divinity is the RPG you should buy this year.

    Bungie does it again with Destiny 2. The game will certainly please veteran players, but is also a good starting point for newcomers. Most of the changes made are positive ones, but unfortunately not all.

    Owlboy is amazing thanks to it's fantastic set of characters and an incredible world to explore. The game has beautiful pixel art and great dialogue that will make you laugh out loud. The only downside is that the game crashes for no reason sometimes.

    Successor of the Skies does not perform well when it comes down to graphics and sound. However, the gameplay is simply great and the leaderboards offer great replay value. If Treasure listens to the feedback and changes a few key points, they can surely make a great follow-up of this game.

    NBA 2K15 might be the best sports game of the year. NBA Live is not a competitor for NBA 2K15, as 2K15 is way better thanks to the great gameplay, thorough MyGM-mode and the phenomenal A.I.

    Monster Hunter World Iceborne is an expansion by the book. There is tons of new content, including exciting new monsters, weapon and armor sets. The Clutch Claw and new attacks add to the gameplay and are really needed for the challenging Master Rank quests. On PC the new areas look even better, including support for widescreen. We still recommend however to avoid mouse and keyboard. If Capcom can keep this quality up, the franchise has a bright future ahead.

    Shredder's Revenge is a game that makes a true hommage to its roots. Everything is recognisable from the Turtles movies to the previous games. It also is a very good brawler, but not the perfect puzzle unfortunately. The game is somewhat short and it tends to get chaotic if you play together. Still, if you like Turtles this is a must play.

    Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is the definitive version of Dark Souls II. The new enemy placement and lore give veterans a good reason to play through it again and for newcomers it is a great way to experience an already great game.

    Blizzard finally makes its console re-introduction, and an amazing one it is. Diablo III is addictive as always and playing with friends like couch potato's is just plain awesome. Even if you are a singleplayer gamer and you have little interest; don't wait, Diablo III is worth the money.

    Velocity 2X for the Switch. What could we say? The game combines great gameplay with the best of two worlds. The world of platformers and the world of shoot ‘em up games. Every level asks the most of our focus which ads a new level to the replayability.

    Total War Warhammer 2 is a worthy successor. A better story, Skaven and Lizardmen as interesting factions and graphics to drool over. Without doubt one of the best fantasy RTS games of the moment. Unfortunately the same problems from TWW 1 return as well.

    Tales of Arise delivers a fresh start with new heroes and a world that feels all too familiar. The story of an oppressed people living in a land divided into five parts, that need to be liberated isn't quite original, but Arise does offer a streamlined experience that can be highly tailored. Those that want to, can delve into the lore, while others can happily skip that entirely. The same applies to combat, which can be tailored to the player's desire, from (semi)automatic to manual and challenging.
