    Nobody Wants to Die is a short, but action-packed adventure, set in a dystopian version of New York. The excellent voice-cast and story succeed in immersing you in this futuristic murder mystery, albeit with a little more handholding than hoped. Still, for fans of the walking simulator genre, there is a lot to love here.

    Nioh 2 is a challenging game which either makes you blood boil or makes you incredibly happy. There is no in-between. The game is bigger, better and bolder than it's predecessor with more enemies, more regions and more challenges along the way. It is a must-have for those who like a challenge and a must avoid for those who can't stand losing. Because you will lose a lot eventually.

    With Dead Rising 3, the Xbox One has a great launch title. Expect hundreds, even thousands, of zombies on your screen who are all waiting to get mowed down by you. Still, the graphics are a bit clingy sometimes.

    Pro Evolution Soccer received a complete make-over with new modes and gameplay elements. Although not as good as FIFA, Konami has build a foundation that can beat FIFA in the coming years.

    Minis on the Move is filled with plenty of content to keep you busy for a long time. The puzzles quickly get more challenging, keeping you from dozing off. All in all a great puzzle game for on the road.

    Is the Wii U dead? Not by a long shot. Paper Mario Color Splash is good for adults and for kids. The game offers a nice combination of action, RPG and adventure.

    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.

    It brings a whole new way of racing. Although it isn't very realistic, it's definitely fun.

    The loading times are horrible. But despite that the game is just fun. Come on, it's WipEout. You know you can expect a good quality game.

    Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a great game thanks to its impressive combat system. The real star of the show however is the lively world that keeps you entertained throughout. Even though the Switch might not capable of the prettiest graphics, the game still looks great. It comes with a price however as the framerate is not that good.

    Fable Heroes, a spin-off in the renowned Fable franchise, is definitely worth playing for the Fable fans in their wait for the still unannounced Fable IV. Compare it to a nice piece of music you listen to while waiting for help at customer service. With a high replay value, for 800 Microsoft Points, Fable Heroes is certainly worth your money.

    Grow Up is a more enjoyable open game than Grow Home. What hasn't changed is its incredible vistas and sense of wonder when on top of some strange mountain stuck in the sky.

    With this first set of DLC Rebellion kicks off the Season Pass in a stylish way. New characters, new weapons and a free new Horde map to enjoy. The most important thing is off course the new Story mission Terror Lab. It offers everything fans could hope for en sets the bar high for things to come. Still, the pack is nog flawless. The Horde map is an existing map and the Sailor doesn't add up to the other characters.

    Yooka-Laylee is a celebration of classic games like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong. If you have ever played those games you will be the happiest person in the world playing Yooka-Laylee. If not, you might be bothered too much by its flaws.

    Splatoon 2 is a fun and chaotic shooter with a lot of charm. The single-player, while short, delivers a lot of diverse fun with cool boss fights. But it's main attraction is the multiplayer, which is a lot of fun to play, although it has its limitations.

    Sonic is back. This game is absolutely amazing on the Wii U and it keeps you busy for hours.

    As with all Persona games, Persona 3 Reload takes its time, both with its 80 hour story and its slow progression throughout the ingame months. If that's your thing, then there's an amazing game here with an interesting story, fun characters and outstanding music. The combat doesn't always hold up, but it mostly does and it's fun when it works.

    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.

    It was about time that Dark Souls made its appearance on the PC. Even though this is the same great game, with some added DLC, it doesn't hit home like the console versions did. The graphics aren't polished at all and you really can't play this with a keyboard.

    One Piece Warriors 4 evolves the gameplay from its predecessor. The gameplay is varied with many character choices and ways to develop them. For newcomers to the series the story and pace might be overwhelming but the gameplay more than makes up for that.

    Housemarque knows how to develop good games. If you like twin stick shooters you should try Nex Machina. However, it's a bit chaotic when you play together. In the end it's still fun.

    DOOM Unto the Evil is the first of three DLC packs coming out for Doom. It adds new maps, weapons, armor and a new demon. The maps look good and it's cool to play with the harvester. The pistol feels a bit underwhelming, but it is a great DLC nonetheless.

    With the first story add-on for Bioshock Infinite we find ourselves back in Rapture and we absolutely loved it. Some parts are even scarier than Infinite, with the Splicers as the point of attention. However, with only two hours, it’s too short for a magnificent add-on.

    The downloadable content Rise and Fall adds a lot to the main game. The DLC provides more depth into the systems of the game and forces players to make wise choices. The new content keeps players busy, but doesn’t always improve the game.

    Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Review is a fast paced racer and a great remaster. There is a lot of content next to the somewhat short campaign. Also online racing is added. The game is huge and comes racing around the corner with a lot of fun.

    Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is a great remaster. That being said, it still isn't a game for everyone. The gameplay takes time to master, but what you get back from it is definitely worth your time and effort.

    RPG's like Rainbow Moon are not for everybody. But the creators made sure that everything is very clear and not unnecessarily complicated. The game world is looks phenomenal and it is very fun to walk around in because there are a lot of funny characters to meet. It is so nice to hold this big world within the little screen of the Vita, that we prefer this version over the PS3-one.
