    Risen 3: Titan Lords Enhanced Edition is fun, but that's about it. If you're still hooked on a game like The Witcher 3, leave this one alone. If you're looking for a new RPG experience however, give it a go.

    Developer Games Farm didn't deliver us a simulation like promised, but turned Secret Wars into a decent arcade shooter. The multiplayer can be very fun but the singleplayer drags down the score because of the bad voice acting and the simplified AI.

    With its incredibly obsolete graphics and technical aspects, combined with inappropriate modern elements, Duke Nukem cannot be called a good game. It is however a fun game, that offers the Nukem-trademark humour together with much variation in surroundings and gameplay.

    Fairytale Fights has become a funny game, but all things are kept too simple. So playing alone will not amuse you, but the co-op on the other hand is really fun. However there is a lag off replay value that might keep you from buying this title!

    Confrontation manages to score some points in a few areas, for example the concept. Also, the combat can get pretty difficult at times and encourages a tactical mind, which is a plus. Thank the heavens for the included pause button. Unfortunately, most of the ideas are very poorly executed and the gameplay is incredibly linear. For a 39.99 euro game, we would have expected more. A lot more.

    Carmageddon is a enjoyable game which seems to have a lot of power-ups, foul language and silly driving. The singeplayer is fun for a decent amount of time but the multiplayer is the mode where the game really delivers. Unfortunately on the PS4 it is quite impossible to play due to the fact that there seems to be nobody online.

    Shadwen is a competent and somewhat enjoyable stealth game, but not exactly memorable. While the core experience and some of its mechanics, such as the time manipulation mechanics, are quite well done, the game suffers from a general lack of polish.

    Red Johnson's Chronicles: One Against All is a puzzle game for Xbox Live. The puzzles are very difficult which will be appreciated by the puzzle fans. The game looks very good, but it will become boring after a couple of minutes.

    Predictable scary moments and a missing constant tension is what awaits you in this game. Finding pieces of paper on an abandoned island might be a fun thing to do, but Daylight barely fits in the genre that is horror.

    Bodycount is probably the most disappointing game of the year. The bad story, exceptionally stupid AI and the bad controls result in an extremely frustrating game. For the love of gamers, don't play this game.

    Gomo didn't turn out to be a very great game. It's really short, the puzzles are very easy, and the controls are a pain in the ass. It's definitely not the best option If you were looking for a point-and-click adventure.

    When you're a hack 'n slash freak that doesn't get enough of button mashing, you will have a lot of fun playing X-Blades. The graphics are nice but the sound isn't. The gameplay is a little boring but when you're a fan, it will definitely not bother you. When you're not a fan, you should leave this game alone.

    It's not acceptable anymore to deliver a standard platform game and just get away with it. Invizimals has nothing special. It had potential, but the developer was too lazy to make a really big game of the huge universe.

    The only great thing about this game is the offline and co-op mode. Besides that it kind of sucks. The graphics are utterly disgraceful and the sound of the game is just substandard. This game isn’t good enough to survive on the current games market.

    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.

    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.

    Start the Party! Save the World is a terrible sequel to Start the Party. Sony did not listen to the fans and delivers a sequel that doesn't improve at all on its predecessor. Unoriginal mini-games and lack of content make this party game something you shouldn't buy.

    The Code Monkeys did her best to deliver a good game. Unfortunately the controls aren't working and the singleplayer will bore you pretty fast. However the multiplayer games are fun to try.

    Sonic Adventure did not age well at all. The camera is frustrating and the voice overs are very weak. People who are looking for nostalgia could buy this game but even they should wait for Sonic Colors to come out.

    Guitar Hero: Van Halen hasn't become an exceptional game. It plays like every Guitar Hero game, but you can't call it success.

    Wasteland Workshop offers just a small package of content. Most props are a great addition to your settlement, but that's everything positive about the DLC. Taming creatures takes no effort, and the AI is broken.

    Tryst is not what we'd call a well thought-out indie game. The strategic possibilities are limited and the voice overs are a disaster at times. It can still be very fun to play as the Zali or to explore the multiplayer modes. However, the fun stops after a couple of hours, when things turn repetitive.

    X-Men Destiny is a very boring game. The gameplay is nothing special, the graphics are just not good and we haven't even begun talking about all of the glitches. It's great however that you can make a lot of choices while playing the storyline, but it's too little too late.

    Lionhead Studios usually develops great extra content but this time the company has taken the easy way out. The Understone Quest Pack doesn't add a lot to Fable III but it will keep the fans entertained for a few hours.

    The only thing really enjoyable in Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is the Escalation Mode. The story is very bland and never manages to impress just like the dull missions.

    When you start the game up, it seems fun and original to use the 3DS camera to take pictures that are actually being used in the game. It is too bad that underneath that interesting surface, a very repetitive game is waiting for you. The mini-games feel like chores and the graphics are a little too random to feel like a good and solid game.

    Scrat's Nutty Adventure finally gives Scrat his own game. The rodent runs around and collects tons of acorns. But the acorns don't affect the game at all. Next to that the game is way too simple, even for the younger gamers. It primarily focuses on the small starting gamer. Still, Scrat is a hilarious animal that makes you laugh.

    Scene It? Twilight can't give you the same feeling, the madness, what the film itself does. It had been a better idea to bring out such a game after the four films, so it's a little bit too early right now.

    With a little more time and attention, Top Gun could have been a decent flight simulator. If you're into flying games, buy one that takes itself more serious.
