    From The Gallows is great. The episode is better than anything we saw before this season, without making the same mistakes from previous episodes. It ends very well and makes us wish for more. Nevertheless, we have seen a lot of it already.

    Hopefully you are a tough one, because Siesta Fiesta is not an easy game. This Breakout-look-a-like has original challenges and looks great. It sounds like LocoRoco when you listen to the soundtrack, but as that franchise stopped long ago, we are excited for those funny voices to be (sort of) back.

    For the third time in a row, the DeathSpank franchise proves that there's much laughter to be had in a dungeon crawler, aside from the massive monster slaughting. If you can look past the lack of originality, you will immerse in a fifteen hour adventure that's both addictive and humorous.

    Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands looks a lot like Borderlands 3 and plays a bit like it as well. Luckily, the Wonderlands offers up a fantastic setting full of great enemies and humor that hits a lot better. It's a shame the Overworld feels so unnecessary, although there is plenty of fun to have thanks to the bigger focus on customization.

    Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening is mandatory for anyone who has played the original game with a smile on his or her face.

    El Shaddai offers a unique experience trough fantastically weird environments, accompanied by beautifully fitting music. Along with the solid gameplay it makes for a great game, though it is slightly pestered by a lack of variation and camera issues.

    Luigi's Mansion 3DS brings back the old classic of the GameCube for both players that never played the original and players that played it hundreds of times. That Luigi is easily scared makes him a perfect guy to play around in a ghost mansion.

    This one ends a trilogy in a good way. It's the best puzzle game you can get on the 3DS and worth it.

    There’s no more need to go to the gym, when you have a Wii U. With Wii Fit U you can practice, even when not looking at your TV-screen. However, you’ll need to pay a lot of money for all the attributes you need.

    Katrielle's adventure makes your brain work for progress on the Switch. With 40 new puzzles the game is the largest Layton game yet. The game is ported fantastically for the Switch and has never looked as great as this before. A definite must buy.

    MY Memory of Us is a game which nears perfection storywise. The story is emotional and makes you want to play more and more. But unfortunately there are some gameplay elements that don't work as they should. Still this Indie is a must play.

    Super Mario 3D World already was a great game worth buying, but with the online coop and Bowser's Fury, it justifies another purchase on the Switch. The game looks and feels great, even with four players. It also brings a bit of a challenge for anyone trying to find all secrets but stays accessible for kids who just want to play. Bowser's Fury on the other hand feels a bit short and lacks a worthy coop. Still, this content is great to play, but don't expect a full adventure.

    Days Gone features a huge and beautifully looking open world that's great to explore. The game is, however, plagued by many bugs that take away from the experience overall. It's a shame since the story, characters and enemies make the game so much fun to play.

    Everspace is a wonderful and exciting space-shooter for PS4. Despite its weak story and lack of different enemies it's a must have for spacefans.

    Blacklight: Tango Down is perhaps the best downloadable game at this point in time. The gameplay is tremendously good and has a lot to offer, however sometimes you need to wait a long time before you can enter an online match. But once you're in, you won't leave!

    PES 2018 is one of the best footies available. Its gameplay is addictive and very realistic. Unfortunately the game still hasn't got all official licenses, which is a pain in the ass.

    Mario Party returns to 3DS with Mario Party Star Rush. The game offers lots of fun to be had with friends due to various game modes and mini games. No more waiting for your turn either.

    This is not the biggest game ever, but the price is not too big either. This game will take you about six to seven hours and there is some additional gameplay, so it is definitely worth trying.

    Modern Warfare makes you love the franchise all over again. With a great campaign and an excellent multiplayer to boot this is the most fun you'll have with a shooter all year. It's a shame the Spec Ops mode doesn't live up to the hype.

    DOOM is back with fast action, huge guns and a ton of demons to defeat. Id Software delivers great graphics and gameplay, with a multiplayer and Snapmap mode to keep you busy for a long time to come.

    Thanks to Resonance we got excited for a genre that is long gone. This point and click game offers enough challenging puzzles and an intriguing story. Too bad it's a one time deal. After that you know everything there is to know about Resonance.

    Ghost 'N Goblins is back! The arcade classic looks great in its new style and plays just like the old days. It challenges you and makes you die a lot before you get somewhere. This time Capcom mixed elements from two games into one really great resurrection which you can play together. The biggest downside is that the game is somewhat short. In just a few hours you can reach the end of run one (of two needed).

    A must have for every role-playing game lover. However it must be said that the version for PS3, Xbox and PC is better than the Wii U version if it comes to gameplay and graphics. The GamePad is not that innovative in this case.

    Kinect Sports is fun, challenging and a great addition to your collection. This is another Kinect game you really should buy if you are planning to buy Kinect.

    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.

    The Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2 delivers a meaty chunk of new content, while building on the foundation that had been established with the vanilla game. New modes, locations and a sinister plot make Destiny 2 shine again, and that's a good thing.

    With a fun story mode and a ton of minigames there is a lot to love about Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. The game is full of fun facts about the event and history that keep you learning as you play. The map could be better and there maybe is too much reading involved, but that doesn't take away from the game in any big way.

    If you're not in a good mood then you should really try out Super Lucky's Tale. The Xbox exclusive looks gorgeous on the Xbox One X and the smile on the fox Lucky is contagious. It doesn't matter how old you are, Super Lucky's Tale is a game for everyone.

    With ten chapters and an epilogue, the game is shorter than the anime it is based on, but that ensures that the game remains interesting until the end. Fairy Tail 2 is a must for fans of the series, but also accessible for those who want to get acquainted for the first time.
