    Interloper is an interesting strategic game, with a nice graphical style. The matches are quick and are a game of wits, especially against other human opponents. Let's just hope for more game-modes.

    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.

    The PS5 may not be the best place to play Hi-Fi Rush, since it seems to demand a lower latency than the regular Dualsense controllers offer. That being said, it's still an excellent game that's well worth your time. The music is top notch, the visuals are great and the gameplay is jam-packed with slick action. Just consider playing it on a different system or replacing your controller with one that's more high-end.

    Even though Counter-Strike: Global Offensive doesn't bring many new things to the table, it's still one of the best, pure tactical shooters out there. This is the perfect time to get to know the world famous series, and even for veterans it's worth a purchase. You get a whole lot of gameplay for a low price.

    All in all, Roads is a good entry into the Life is Strange 2 series. It brings back the things fans love about the series and builds an entirely new story around this. Some things could be done better, but these are only small points of critique.

    Civilization 6 is great thanks to the many rulers, it's addicting gameplay and because of how well it works on Switch. It's a shame the online multiplayer is missing. It shows it doesn't have everything the PC has, but the gameplay will keep you playing.

    Zen Studios has adapted the series and put it inside two pinball machines. They are very entertaining but very chaotic at times. Especially the sounds are chaotic and annoy easily. Worth buying.

    Chronicle: Runescape Legends is a new and refreshing take on the CCG genre. While there is quite a steep learning curve, the game itself has addictive gameplay and a lot of different layers.

    Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes is nice, especially for kids. It's cute, but one must say that Skylanders Trap Team is king.

    Rainbow Six: Siege lacks an offline mode, story and bots, but online it is a tactical masterpiece with diverse gameplay, dynamic matches, interesting weapons and maps, and, at times, truly fantastic cooperative action through teamwork and communication.

    Dragon Quest Heroes II offers a beautiful mix of musou and RPG. There are tons of characters and there is a lot to do in the game. Especially hack-and-slashing. Plus, it offers a multiplayer mode. It has a few flaws, but nothing game-breaking.

    Smash Hit is a gorgeous looking game with a high entertainment value. The free version of the game has no advertisements and doesn't have content that's only available for people who pay for the full version of the game. Smash Hit is a real must have for the mobile gamer.

    Dragon of the North is a solid first DLC implemented in a natural way. New challenging enemies, bosses and areas will make this content worthwhile.

    Axiom Verge is so much more than a retro throwback to the days of Metroid. It builds on this formula and adds new ways to play these games with clever guns and game mechanics.

    Knowledge is Power is the best implementation of Playlink so far. The quiz is silly and fun, making it an ideal candidate for family game night.

    Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for 3DS is a great game for people who already know and love the series, but has a steep learning curve for new players. If they invest the time though, there is a deep game here, that is a lot of fun in the co-op-mode.

    OlliOlli is a very enjoyable skateboard game. It really shines a different light on the skateboarding genre, while at the same time it brings a lovely memory of the 80's. Beware, it's quite difficult, so not for everyone.

    The new Mario & Sonic game will bring you next year´s Winter Olympics, with a high fun factor. Although the controls sometimes fail, the game is still fun to play.

    Blood Bowl 2 gives you hilarious, but brute action. There are enough races, but less than in the previous game. The game is especially fun in multiplayer and offers a complete experience with minor flaws. Definitely a touchdown.

    Chaos on Deponia goes on where the beautiful Deponia has left. It brings a very funny story with characters that are just as funny. For a middle child it's still very satisfying to play and the ending even makes you scream for more. Truly a great game for the fans of point-and-click adventures.

    Blood & Truth is a perfect example of why virtual reality is still relevant in 2019. With fun run-and-gun gameplay, combined with some thrilling stealth action, the VR-title succeeds in immersing the player in an excellent spy adventure.

    Ibb & Obb is a relatively simple looking puzzle game. But when you dig deeper into the core of the game, you soon discover that the experience is everything except easy. Together with your co-op buddy, you must use a lot of teamwork to fix the job, and that won't always be an enjoyable ride. The gorgeous graphics and the well-chosen music succeed in delivering an awesome indie game.

    Tales of Zestiria is a great game which looks fantastic and plays like a charm. It doesn't really challenge you though and had a few small other flaws. Still the story grips you and the game manages to entertain you for hours.

    Fly'N brings beautiful colors to your screen as well as very accessible platform elements. The gameplay isn't that special but if you look beside it you'll encounter a very charming game with even more charming characters.

    Even though the PC edition of this game was nice, EDGE obviously is a videogame you should play on a handheld or phone. We are very happy to welcome this Dutch video game on 3DS. It's futuristic and contains loads of fun puzzles.
