NBA 2K14 has the ‘wow’ factor. With dribbling and scoring three pointers, NBA promises and delivers. Still, 2K promised us a complete new game on the next-gen consoles, but it can’t keep its promise, because the next-gen version is literally the same on the current-gen.- XGN

Guitar Hero Live puts the franchise back on the map. It's more realistic than ever with a new guitar and with a highly addicting Guitar Hero TV mode. It's too bad the rest of the band can't join in and that there's only 42 songs you can play offline.- XGN

Dark Souls 3 is a great installment in the Souls series. Comprehensive, challenging and immense, the game does its best to impress with every aspect. Being true to the series, however, the game does have the usual technical issues.- XGN

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.- XGN

The biggest reason to get this game is co-op, either online or offline. Especially if you own a next-gen console, as this game looks great and has much more depth than most next-gen games.- XGN

Sledgehammer did a great job with this compelling story about the fierce war. The new game dynamics with crisp cut-scenes and smooth gameplay will keep you intrigued from begin to end. The fraternity feeling is bigger than ever in SP, HQ's and zombies.- XGN

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart is very important for the PS5 as it's a true showcase of what the hardware is capable of. The dynamic duo looks amazing in 4K, although it's the ray-tracing that really shines the most. Rivet is also an amazing addition to the cast, while the gameplay truly feels next-gen thanks to the DualSense and SSD. The game is rather short however which makes the 75 euro price tag stand out.- XGN

Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection is with its low retail price a must have for new and experienced players. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater are some of the best entries in the franchise. It's only a shame Peace Walker is absent in this collection.- XGN

Ultimately, Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 comes with many improvements upon its predecessor. The game is even more realistic than 2018 and contains way more clubs. However, Konami is behind on the competition at other aspects, mostly with the online mode.- 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

The Ratchet & Clank Trilogy is just fun. It reminds you of a time when Ratchet & Clank were at the top of their game. Please, Insomniac Studios, do something with it and bring a total new Ratchet & Clank for us.- XGN

High Moon studios has delivered a good third-person shooter that uses a lot of recognisable elements from the original 80's cartoon. The game is suitable for everyone, so people that are new to the franchise will have just as much fun as hardcore transformers fans.- XGN

Treyarch continues building on it's DLC-train with Uprising. With four new Multiplayer map and a solid new Zombies map you can, again, have hours of fun. With Mob of the Dead, the developer let's see that it still has got a lot of exciting and original ideas for the franchise. Once again, Treyarch shows that it's the king of DLC-making.- XGN

Hotline Miami is addictive, has a good story and perfect ambiance. It's violent, hard but everything is for a reason. With that said, this indie game deserves to be played.- XGN

Crimson Desert is an ambitious, visually stunning open-world RPG that blends brutal, skill-based combat with a richly detailed and immersive world. While its sprawling narrative can feel unfocused at times and boss difficulty occasionally borders, this game blows you away battle by battle.- XGN

Saros turns bullet hell into a ruthless ballet, pushing you to play aggressively or get left behind. Set on a beautiful, hostile and ever-changing planet, it blends intense combat with a mysterious narrative that slowly pulls you in. It’s punishing but addictive.- XGN

Project CARS could be crowned as the king of race games. A few flaws could easily be fixed by patching and updating the game. It’s the best race simulator game you can buy.- XGN

Star Wars Battlefront 2 manages to deliver a great multiplayer experience that the previous game couldn't. Although the campaign is relatively short with its 4 hours, the online portion makes up for that with fast-pace action.- XGN

Synapse is the new standard for VR FPS. thanks to the clever use of force feedback and eye tracking, you feel like you're inside the action. The combination of eye tracking and telekinesis is simply delightful and this is the closest we've felt to being a true force wielder. the clever use of your offhand for navigation, telekinesis and climbing/hiding is brilliant and works like a charm. If we have to complain a bit, we would love some more variety to the weapons used.- XGN

Asura's Wrath is, without a doubt, a very special game. We can't recall the last time we've seen so much brutal action on our screen, while we could also lose ourselves in an immersive story. Such spectacle! Besides that, Asura has fought his way to an important place on our list of most memorable characters in videogame history. That aside, you may want to know Asura's Wrath is more like an interactive movie that lasts around ten hours. If you can look past that, you will find a game like you've never seen or played before.- XGN
