    Bulletstorm turns out to be a great game. There are still some minor griefs, but it's nothing too serious. The skillshot system is a real pleasure and you'll be using it for a long time without getting bored. Bulletstorm demonstrates pefectly that shooters these days can be about just having fun.

    Curse of the Pharaohs offers an interesting new storyline, focusing on the controversial Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Include that with new abilities, sidequests and characters and you have quite the package for twenty euros.

    Yakuza Like a Dragon is a must play for fans of the first hour. Side missions compliment the main story in a major way thanks to the utter insanity of some of the stories. You'll need to have some patience though for some of the other mechanics in the game, which is disappointing.

    Borderlands 2's second DLC offers a solid eight hour of entertainment filled with testosterone and crazy characters. The expansion might be slightly rushed, but is a lot of fun nonetheless.

    DMC Devil May Cry - The Definitive Edition is a great title which contains all the content you'd wish for. Next to that the game has been remastered and tweaked in the best way possible. This is a must buy for fans and non fans.

    The Doom Slayer returns in amazing fashion with riveting gameplay, exceptional variety and gorgeous design. It might just be the best iteration of Doom so far, even though some elements pull you out of the game's adrenaline-filled tempo.

    Black Ops 4 brings the fun and dares to change. There might not be a campaign, but its replacement called Blackout is so much fun to play. Even if Battle Royale isn't your thing, you can still find enjoyment in the revamped Zombies and the multiplayer modes.

    For only 13 euros this is a really cool experience. If you want a great multiplayer shooter, then you should definitely buy this game!

    Sucker Punch has the honor of bringing us the last PS4 exclusive with Ghost of Tsushima. The game delivers an immense adventure of more than 30 hours, based on a true war. The battles, the environment, the animation, all look amazing. Still, it misses an original touch in its gameplay. Next to that, the battles tend to be the same once you get the hang of the stances.

    This game has a unique style and is good in general, yet lacks smooth controls. The 3DS-standard is also not that impressive.

    Ubisoft made a great decision in taking the Anno franchise to the future. Trading, building, doing quests, there is a ton of stuff to do. It's very interesting to see the environment play a big role and the effects of polution add a great new gameplay concept. Anno 2070 really is all about building and trading and won't be fulfilling for people that are looking to rage war.

    By adding just a third-person perspective, SMITE entirely changes the way we play MOBA. As a player you're feeling more in control over your character, which results in a more intense and better multiplayer experience.

    Although Astro's Playroom does feature a few gimmicks it's undeniable that this game is an amazing showcase for the PS5's DualSense. All while being a great 3D-platformer Astro's Playroom shows not only a love for PlayStation's history and shines brightest when utilizing the fantastic haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

    Donkey Kong Country Returns was a great game on the Wii and it is a great game on the 3DS. Even if you have already played the Wii version, this 3D remake is amazing value for your money.

    Guacamelee 2 is a beautiful and delightful game that can proudly wear a Metroidvania medal. With its fantastic humour it will be a delight for multiple people, but the game can feel a little bit too long when you are near the end.

    Valkyria Chronicles 4 went back to the roots of the original. The gameplay has stayed nearly the same after nine years, with the exception of the new Grenadier class, but it still stands as firm as a rock. If you enjoyed the original, you will enjoy VC4.

    Guild Wars 2 Path of Fire is a brilliant expansion and one of the best MMO's we have ever played. The world is beautiful and the addition of mounts is very fun.

    ODST is a fun Halo game, but clearly an expansion and not a completely new game. There are some new possibilities, due to the small gameplay changes, and the multiplayer will keep you coming back for a long time.

    Cadence of Hyrule is one of the best Zelda spin-offs to ever appear on a console. Brace Yourself Games can be proud on this achievement as it manages to combine the music elements of Crypt of the Necrodancer with Zelda.

    Persona Q is a worthy introduction to the series on the Nintendo 3DS. The game is addictingly tough, and the music is unbelievably catchy.

    Kingdom Hearts 3 is every bit as magical as expected. It manages to set the bar high for games in 2019 with its nostalgia-inducing Disney worlds, great gameplay and epic conclusion. The long wait is finally over and fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

    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.

    Splatoon 3 is as fun as the last two games. The game got some quality of life changes which makes it a little better than the last one. The story mode is incredibly fun and every level is new and different. Nintendo has another gem on their hands with Splatoon 3.

    Madden NFL 11 is definitely the best game in the franchise and adds to the formula that only seems to improve every year. GameFlow is a fantastic feature and makes the game accessible for even those who aren't familiar with American Football.

    This game feels like Call of Duty which means its a good shooter. However it has some bugs and its innovative but not really innovative. Do you understand? Its a good shooter but its not the best game this year.

    This War of Mine makes you realise the terrible nature of war better than a thousand ad-campaigns can. Trying to survive in this surreal world is hard, and asks sacrifices you are probably not willing to take. Very impressive.

    Puyo Puyo Tetris has a bunch of different modes, but you cannot play the classic Tetris game. You can enjoy this game with 4 players, online and offline. Puyo Puyo Tetris is a game you can pick up very easily.
