With beautiful cartoony graphics this game is a must-have for mobiles and tablets. It has an original concept, is really funny and it’s only a few euros. All the levels are different, a fantastic achievement by developer Rovio.- XGN

Beat Saber is one of the most fun VR-games to play on PlayStation 4. The combination of lightsabers, great music and intense virtual reality is pure gold.- XGN

Enemy Within is a perfect Firaxis expansion. It still has that great tactical atmosphere from Enemy Unknown, with some fresh new additions. There are a few cons – visual imperfections- but fans of the first hour will have hours of fun with this title.- XGN

The port Bayonetta on Wii U has the same timeless fighting fun as the game had when it came out on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The controls with GamePad are very annoying, but the graphics seem better.- XGN

Luigi's Mansion 3 treats the player to a meaty single-player adventure, with beautiful environments, a plethora of different enemies and cool puzzles. Afterwards you can even play the game with friends. The fun does get spoiled a bit by a less than ideal camera and clunky controls however. Still, it's a game that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.- XGN

Dance Central 3 really is the best dance game for Kinect. It doesn't matter whether you're a good dancer or not, Dance Central 3 is for everybody and it's especially nice at parties.- XGN

Content-wise it's exactly the same game as it was on the PC and PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 4 version has some cool improvements though. Improved controls, stunning graphics and a very smooth running gameplay makes it a worthy PS4-title. This is simply a fantastic PS4-port of an amazing MMORPG.- XGN

With Luigi's Mansion 2 Nintendo adds a brilliant game to the 3DS. Luigi got through the first part with the vacuum cleaner well and delivered a good second part.- XGN

The people at Freestyle Games definetly gave a new spin to the DJ Hero gameplay. The Freestyle sections are very cool and the new option to sing or rap is great if you don't want to spin the records. A guaranteed party hit!- XGN

Armored Core 6 is a nice diversion from the Souls games for From Games. The return to modular mechs allows players to experiment with wildly different builds. Sadly, the game feels very unbalanced. It throws very hard bosses at you when you're unprepared and underpowered, while not challenging you enough when you finally reach enough freedom to build an AC to suit your style.- XGN

With Guitar Hero 5 Neversoft almost succeeded in creating the perfect music game. Only some small mistakes prevent this game from scoring the complete 100 points. Still this game is the best music game at this moment.- XGN

Dragon Quest XI is not flawless. It suffers from several tropes within the JRPG genre, such as a slow start and a generic overarching story. Despite these flaws however, it's stil a magnificent adventure full of interesting stories and great characters.- XGN

DiRT 4 brings the best of all its predecessors to one game. It's just arcade-y enough while still giving fans of simulators what they want. All in all, it is the perfect rally experience out there at the moment.- XGN

Returnal is an amazing game from Housemarque that translates the arcade gameplay the studio is known for to an intriguing 3D world. Gameplay doesn't get better than this, making Returnal a must-play for anyone who wants to experience what next-gen is truly about.- XGN

Forza 7 is the most extensive race game ever from Turn 10. There are lots of cars and tracks to choose from and the game looks beautiful. It's a shame that Forza 7 isn't very innovative, but it still has the Forza vibe from previous games.- XGN

Persona 4 Arena is, without a doubt, a wonderful tribute to a great series that has been going strong for years. Fans will find many elements and features that are well known for the Persona franchise. The downside of this is that newcomers to the series will have a harder time to fully appreciate this beat 'em up spin-off for what it is.- XGN

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D makes the promise of the New 3DS' power a reality. It's marvelous to play such a huge game on a handheld, although it could have been a bit sharper. Nonetheless, this game is the same blockbuster as it was years before.- XGN

Despite a few minor flaws we concluded that Twilight Princess is still a joy to play. Temples like the Goron Mines, Snowpeak Ruins and City in the Sky are timeless and are easily among the best temples of the Zelda franchise.- XGN

F1 2021 continues where it left off with F1 2020 when it comes to core-gameplay. It brings well-needed changes to the UI and brings a few extra modes to choose from. For a season that is otherwise the same as the previous one, Codemasters did a great job of bringing changes to make it feel fresh in some ways. Issues from previous installments such as randomly placed tracklimits and occasional crashes are carried over. Something Codemasters could fix by bringing an update to the game (instead of track).- XGN

Splinter Cell: Conviction is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat for at least eight hours. The new direction that is chosen is a good one, even though the ride could have lasted a little longer.- XGN

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle could perhaps be seen as a weird experiment that owed its success to good release timing. The sequel, Sparks of Hope, proves that view incorrect. The foundations of this strategy RPG remain strong as ever, while several gameplay changes, such as free movement during battle, provide countless new ways to strategize. You may unfortunately forget about some heroes, but it is a small price to pay for such a solid strategy experience. (That also looks gorgeous.)- XGN

DiRT Rally races to the current-gen consoles. It brings a worthy competitor in a tight market with near perfect handling. Although it lacks content in certain areas, it is a must buy for gamers in need of a challenge.- XGN

Dragon Quest VIII Journey of the Cursed King is a special gem that has been made ready for the 3DS. The game offers an epic adventure and an even more epic soundtrack. The only downside to the game is the loading time in between fights.- XGN

Everybody, young and old, can enjoy this fighter. The control-scheme is simple and the game invites you to come back. Unfortunately Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars isn't offering the same experience as Street Fighter IV. However, Capcom delivers a good fighting game!- XGN
