Black Ops is another addition to the Call of Duty franchise but shows the same flaws as its predecessor. The multiplayer has improved, but a franchise of this stature should know how to get rid of the mistakes from the past.- XGN

Captain Spirit brings us the prequel for Life is Strange 2. The game revolves around Chris a.k.a. Captain Spirit. You get to make choices that affect the story and takes you through an emotional adventure. If you like Life is Strange, this is a must play.- 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

Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition delivers a even better experience than the original. The two new worlds look stunning and the possibility to fast travel is excellent.- XGN

3D Dot Game Heroes was clearly inspired by the good, old Zelda games and does it in a way that would make Miyamoto proud. The game is challenging and has enough variety to stay entertaining until the very end.- XGN

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is an ultimate realistic shooter. For some this can be the reason to ignore this game. But for those who seek a good challenge, this is just the right shooter.- XGN

Besides the obvious visual improvements, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD offers a clearly enhanced experience compared to the original Wii title. First and foremost the button controls offer a near-perfect alternative to the formerly mandatory motion controls, making the game more accessible. Beyond that, a lot of the original's hand-holding has been removed, leading to fewer interruptions of gameplay. The game still has other flaws, but the HD version does a lot to bring out the good of the game.- XGN

The story may not live up to its potential and the audio may lag online, but Street Fighter X Tekken is a great game with some pretty cool new features and an awesome cast.- XGN

Victor Vran is a fresh breeze in the world of Dungeon Crawlers. The improved control of the character and the weapon-system gives it a unique feel, despite the generic levels and enemies.- XGN

Torment is back, not literally though. Tides of Numenera mostly lives up to the expectations, forged by a beautiful world and intriguing storytelling. A text-based masterpiece.- XGN

The first episode of the second season is the beginning of something beautiful. The emotional and impressive story is still there and Clementine is the perfect person to bring us through the emotional rollercoaster that is The Walking Dead.- XGN

When a game is delayed for a long time, it usually doesn't bode well. But Dambuster Studios has delivered a strong zombie-slayer in Dead Island 2, with a lot of content, loads of weapons and anatomically correct zombies. It does have some technical issues, but that doesn't stand in the way of fun.- XGN

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is a blast to play, thanks to it's intriguing story, immersive gameplay and gorgeous visuals. It is a pity that there is not a lot of new gameplay to be found, but still the whole package succeeds to deliver.- XGN

WipEout is back for one last collection. It has three of the best WipEout games, a lot of tracks, ships and a bombshell of a soundtrack. And, it is totally overhauled to today's standards. If you have a PlayStation 4, you must own this.- XGN

This is a classic but very entertaining RPG. The framerate drop is one of the minor flaws in an otherwise nearly perfect game.- XGN

Civilization 6 core gameplay has not changed. The additions the developer made only contribute to the excitement and challenge. Civilization 6 is a worthy successor to the franchise.- XGN

For a seemingly simple game there is a lot to discover in Mario Sports Superstars. Everyone can instantly play this game, but there is enough content to keep coming back to it. The horse racing is also a fun new addition to the Mario sports series.- XGN

SpongeBob's renewed adventure is the return of an iconic platformer we all once embraced. The game looks good and refers to a lot of hilarious situations from the cartoons. You simply can't help to smile a lot during the game, but the controls are not nearly as good. They are barely touched and feel outdated which makes the game less good than an average patty.- XGN

Starcraft Remastered is an ode to the amazing original. Blizzard kept it exactly the same as the old title, which means they both play on the same servers, but it also means old annoyances return. But all in all it's a beautiful update for a true classic.- XGN

Dimps has listened to the Dragon Ball fans, that much is clear. Xenoverse 2 features more multiplayer options, streamlined gameplay and hours of entertainment. Still, it misses the co-op Story Mode and all-over it feels like a huge upgrade.- XGN

Another Code: Recollection greatly expands on and alters the content of the original titles, even when it doesn't strictly need to. This applies to story details as well. Most or all changes are improvements, but some existing fans may understandably prefer the older versions. Thanks to entirely new puzzles the game occasionally feels brand new and rather unlike a remake. New visuals and voice acting make these games a richer experience than ever, something that the occasional ugly foliage doesn't hamper.- XGN

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.- XGN

Disney Infinity 3.0 is the latest installment in the Infinity series. We think it's the best Disney Infinity game yet. Star Wars and Inside Out add a lot to the game, and there's enough to experience.- XGN

Ties That Bind Part 1 leaves you behind with a lot of questions. What happened with baby AJ? But those questions let you crave for more. After playing this episode you definitely want to play Ties That Bind Part 2 as soon as possible.- XGN

Maybe the game is not as epic as the last entry in the franchise, but People Can Fly didn't cut back on the quality. The new weapons, multiplayer modes and the new enemies in this game make this Gears of War a worthy addition to the franchise.- XGN
