    OlliOlli World is an amazing skateboarding experience through a Cartoon Network like world. Almost every aspect of this game is enjoyable, except of the dialogues and the not so interesting story.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor plays heavenly thanks not only to the stolen gameplay system but the interesting never-before-seen Nemesis system. The story will certainly please fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings thanks to the interquel nature of the story. It’s just a shame that the characters from the original Tolkien novels that make an appearance are sorely underused and therefore pointless. Furthermore, the two maps are fairly small, and certainly so when compared to other games with an open world design.

    Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon add some great things to Alola. The games are bigger, longer and better than Sun and Moon.

    Bringing this game as a stand alone to the Switch was a brilliant idea. It feels like a whole new game because of the way Specter of Torment plays, but offers the same great style and gameplay Shovel Knight did.

    Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes has become a pretty decent game. There is so much to do that this might as well be a full retail game.

    Multi-tasking is of great importance in PES 2009, so the game requires some training and time before you get the grip of it. Once you master the controls, the many game modes will offer soccer fans a lot of fun.

    Beyond Good & Evil gets a second chance and grabs it with both hands. The game hasn't lost it's former glory and still takes you on a great adventure.

    FIFA 17 is the best next-gen soccer game to date. That's partly because of the new Engine, which performs absolute miracles.

    F1 2010 is a racing game that includes the entire Formula 1 license. It knows how to deliver the complete experience of Formula 1 and is without doubt the best of its kind.

    Sound Shapes offers an ingenious synergy between sound and level design. This results in a great audio-visual experience, although a short one. The level editor luckily prolongs its life, offering a simple and deep way to release your creativity.

    Gears 5 offers up an amazing campaign that isn't afraid to take risks, while staying true to its core. The new Escape mode is great, just like the additions to the iconic Horde mode. It's a shame the game suffers from many technical problems.

    The best Fight Night game so far. This title is absolutely a must buy because of all the new additions, and the new Champion mode is simply amazing!

    Hitman is back, and this time more complete than ever before. With all the new content bundled with the core game, players get more action served. Sadly most technical flaws still remain, but overall the package succeeds.

    Resident Evil 5 is a beautiful game with a super good co-op. The singleplayer is not as good as other games in the franchise and the real fans will miss the survival horror, which has been replaced by a lot of action.

    God of War: Origins Collection is a bit disappointing because it has no extra content and no astonishing graphics. But what really matters: the gameplay is very badass We love it!

    Top Spin 4 has become a reasonably good game, it's much better than the previous Top Spin. There's a lot to explore but unfortunately there's a lack of real improvement. So the game isn't perfect.

    Despite some annoying bugs, especially in the campaign, Battlefield 3 offers some amazing gameplay. A breathtaking singleplayer campaign alongside an epic multiplayer experience makes Battlefield 3 a must-buy.

    Outland is a unique platform game. The gameplay can be really hard but manages to find a good balance between difficult and nearly impossible. It has a great visual style which adds up to the fun.

    Bayonetta is a sexy and interesting game. If you already played the Wii U-version, then the Switch version will not give you anything new. But if you have not played this version, try the Switch version for an interesting experience you will not see often.

    This edition of Rayman Legends offers almost everything the previous versions offered. And for fourty bucks this is a lot. The game looks fantastic and feels everything but old or obsolete. This is simply a must have for Switch owners.

    Gears of War 4 delivers a familiar gameplay experience, while still feeling fresh and new. Although the campaign has its flaws, the story stays interesting. Together with the new and improved Horde mode and multiplayer, Gears of War 4 is a blast to play.

    Halo 5 Guardians is a great new installment in this massive series. The game mixes old and new elements resulting in an awesome gaming experience. However, the lack of couch co-op makes it less fun, and our iconic hero Master Chief seems to be a background character.

    The Ios version of GTA: San Andreas is a good one, but it’s not something new we haven’t seen already. If you have the choice to pick between this version and a PC or console version, pick the latter.

    For new players, Super Street Fighter IV - Arcade Edition is a great game to enter the world of Street Fighter. The casual gamer won't find much fun in this new arcade edition but the fighting fans will have the time of their life!

    Mortal Kombat XL offers the complete package. All the costumes, characters and stages in one deal. Graphically the game hasn't changed, but with all this content there is a whole lot to do!

    It's simple: F1 2017 is the best Formula 1 game ever made. Although the visuals definitely need some improvement, this is the best F1 experience you can get.

    The game needs some patches, but overall the game is fantastic, amazing even. Managing your own football team has never worked this good before, making Football Manager 2012 a must have for every football freak out there.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla brings the third party to next-gen and a party it is. Take on the story of Eivor and travel to Brittania to conquer the land piece by piece. The game looks amazing and contains new RPG-elements like building your settlement, pillaging, and a huge new skill tree to strengthen yourself. The story is compelling at that, but the action pushes the assassination to the background. The game suffers from a few minor bugs, but nothing too serious. This is simply a must-play from day one.
