And Yet It Moves is living proof that small developers can create great games. The game is finished after six hours but keeps you asking for much, much more.- XGN

Mortal Kombat X is a great game which offers a lot of modes. The Fatalities and Brutalities are gory as ever and you can enjoy the game for hours. Too bad it has microtransactions and sidetracks from its roots.- XGN

These two games are brilliant. Teddy bears aren't always cute. Sometimes they are very very very sadistic. So, try to survive in this visual novel.- XGN

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a real gem for the Switch. But there are some downsides. In handheld modus there are framedrops and the game suffers from the limited capacity of the console. Still, the 100 hours of gameplay are more than worth it.- XGN

Madden NFL 16 returns with a greater focus on receivers and quarterbacks, throw and catch the ball like you really want to throw it. The gameplay combined with the all new Draft Champions mode makes this the best football game over the last few years.- XGN

World of Warcraft is already 15 years old, but you won't notice that playing Shadowlands. The new expansion offers interesting new customization options through the Covenants, the new areas look stunning and Torghast adds a new challenge for players. While there is more focus on the story, it does mean a much more linear experience however and the new antagonist, The Jailer, hasn't convinced us yet. Hopefully, that changes as Shadowlands gets new content updates, such as the upcoming raids.- XGN

2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa is a great footie game. However it's more an update from the previous FIFA game than a whole new game.- XGN

Gravity Rush offers an interesting concept and a great audiovisual style, capable of creating an instant classic. Unfortunately fighting can be frustrating and the ending can be unclear, keeping this game from achieving said status.- XGN

The modifications to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire make these games some of the best remakes in recent history.- XGN

Horizon Zero Dawn The Frozen Wilds looks and feels familiar, but does introduce enough new elements to keep the rather short story interesting. Although the DLC can’t match the original games quality, it's still worth your time.- XGN

You can't stop the beat and you shouldn't even try. Just sit back and have a little fun. Rhythm Heaven Fever knows exactly how to do that. So just boot up your Wii and go with the music.- XGN

This Street Fighter collection is a must have for the fans. It contains twelve games of which four can be played online. Some games are pure nostalgia, but the rest is just timeless brawling action. Not to mention the mountain of art and other stuff.- XGN

This army-themed game runs very smoothly. It is easy to quickly start and end a game, although the controls are something to get used to. It is advisable to give this game a chance, because there is more to it than the funny animation style and sepia colors. For example, a very pleasant system for leveling up, which is typically Vlambeer.- XGN

Pokémon Legends: Arceus may often look bad, but its gameplay is excellent. The mechanics of finding and catching Pokémon feel good and bring a sense of discovery to the game. Changes in the battle system make for more engaging and strategic fights. Some repetitive bosses and a fairly standard story can't drag down how fun it is to play this new kind of Pokémon game.- XGN

Remedy did an excellent job creating a brand new kind of action thriller. Alan Wake is an awesome game that grabs you by the throat and makes you scream for more.- XGN

A game starring Jack Black and Tim Schafer as creative director, could hardly go wrong. And fortunately it hasn’t gone wrong. Brütal Legend has become a pretty decent game.- XGN

L.A. Noire shows us that not every sandbox game has to be about killing prostitutes. This Complete Edition for the PC shows up a bit late to the party but that doesn't make it any less fun. The interrogations are a lot of fun and you'll feel like a true Sherlock Holmes at times. It's just a shame that the replay value is very low.- XGN

The third episode from Tales from the Borderlands is magnificent and the best episode of the series so far. Action-packed, character-defining and overall funny. A great piece of work from Telltale.- XGN

Playing with gravity is fun, especially when it's so clean and simple like in the super retro game VVVVVV. The graphics make it feel like an old game from the late 1980's, but at the same time it's so refreshing and fun that it fits perfectly in the year 2012. Respawning is fast and there are many checkpoints, so this game does hardly get very frustrating. We do miss the option to make and share levels though.- XGN

The iconic Mortal Kombat franchises spans more than 30 years already, but stills knows how to deliver a solid fighting game. They proof that with the soft reboot that is Mortal Kombat 1. Story mode and some new, intuitive fighting mechanics carry this installment, even though as a whole it's not as 'meaty' as its predecessor.- XGN

Back to Karkand is a good expansion on the existing foundation of Battlefield 3's multiplayer. In its essence, it doesn't do anything new, but why change something that's already pretty damn good?- XGN

Lies of P draws heavily from the Soulsborne formula, but gradually carves out its own identity through impactful combat, tactical upgrades, and a steadily growing sense of power. While the game initially falls a bit short, it evolves into a rewarding and meaningful experience that mirrors its protagonist's journey, and is well worth your time.- XGN

Dust: An Elysian Tail has a great story and mixes it up with beautiful locations to create a modern fairy tale. It's just a shame that the game is too easy and the loading screens seem to take forever.- XGN

A Plague Tale Innocence is an intense and beautiful tale of Amicia and Hugo De Rune, about bonding and surviving. The solid story of the game combined with the nice level design and gameplay, make for a solid adventure.- XGN

Marvel's Midnight Suns is an okay game but could've been a lot better. The game is filled with boring tasks and side missions and the main character doesn't have much of a personality or many emotions. The game would've been a lot better if the developers didn't include all the RPG aspects. However, Firaxis is clearly still great at making strategy games, because the strategic missions are the best part of this game. The storyline is great and It's cool to see the other heroes together.- XGN

The fantastic soundtrack, perfect way of storytelling and the pixel art make you forget the lack of a challenge. The game still feels like an iOS-game, but who cares when it is this brilliant? It might not be the game everyone is going to play, but the one that brings an unforgettable experience.- XGN

This one beats, without a doubt, Disney Infinity and this one is even better than the previous two Skylander games. There's a new a idea of combining body parts. So you can mix characters and it's awesome.- XGN

If you love FIFA 18, you'll love FIFA 19. With some new gameplay features and game modes, the success formula has been broadened. But, with no changes to Pro Clubs and Career Mode the game can't offer you a far better experience than its predecessor.- XGN

This game is really a nice platformer that you can get for a low price. The puzzles are difficult and therefore challenging but there's plenty of humor to relieve the tension. However you have to like all of the chaos and speed to fully enjoy this game.- XGN

Origins was a great game, but Ubisoft exceeded expectations with its successor. The story is long and personal with many choices to make, it’s your own odyssey. Greece is huge and detailed, so it’ll take some time before you're done with the game. That’s nothing but positive.- XGN
