    Rocket League combines solid elements from both sport and racing games. It may not be the best sport game in the field, but its hectic matches provide a lot of multiplayer fun.

    Super Street Fighter IV contains good changes in comparison with the previous Street Fighter game. There isn't much innovation, but for only 40 euros this is a must buy in the fighting genre.

    Verdun is not your average shooter, it focuses more on the realistic side of war and teamwork is a very important aspect of the game. Therefore it will most likely appeal to a different public than games like Call of Duty or Battlefield.

    Dead Rising 2: Case Zero has a few errors but none of that matters because the game has a lot of hidden depth to offer. Killing zombies has never been this fun and for only 400 Microsoft Points you can experience a taste of the upcoming game Dead Rising 2.

    All together The Godfather II really is a fun title to play. The game is not perfect, but brings you a good atmosphere, great storyline and a intense mobster experience. The features to extend your family and the Don's View, are really great new extras.

    Bad Piggies brings something new and fresh to the Angry Birds universe. With gameplay that is best compared to Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, it's now possible to make the weirdest vehicles on the go. The great art style makes for a fun game. It is a lot more addictive and challenging than the Angry Birds games.

    The Surge is a fun and challenging role playing game with mechanics known from Dark Souls. Its world looks beautiful, and the looting and crafting system gives the player a lot of freedom. All in all, The Surge is a fun game.

    It's good to see that Electronic Arts isn't just producing one Sims add-on after the other. The Sims Medieval provides a solid medieval experience but fails in depth. It's a shame that you can't build your own castles.

    The Devil in Me is a worthy final chapter in this season of The Anthology. It provides a believable, interesting story that carefully builds tension, but also provides space to build out the releations between the team members. The game is firmly rooted in a classic horror story of a team trapped in a remote location and an all-powerful, manipulative enemy, but the execution really delivers.

    Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition brings Vergil to the party. The new character gets his own share in the game and you get to complete the whole story as the katana wielding demonslayer. It brings a whole new dimension to this already cool game. Next to that the game has various next-gen upgrades like ray tracing and a higher framerate. You'll have to choose which one you want to activate, so a full nxt-gen experience is out of the question. Still, a worthy upgrade to a brutal game.

    The latest LEGO game just might be the best one in the series. One of the only things that we're missing in this comical game is an online co-op. Apart from that, there are a lot of puzzles that will keep you entertained for days to come.

    The Ascent provides a vibrant, living environment for you to run around in and shoot at. The world is brimming with walking-talking NPCs and neon-filled areas. While the story isn't really that memorable, it's decent enough for you to push on to the next mission, which will lead you to diverse locations and up against different enemies. The bigger enemies can be a bit too much bullet sponges, but otherwise the gameplay and diverse possibilities are quite satisfying.

    This game looks better than before and contains some good improvements. It plays faster and feels more dramatic. There is a lack of enough offline content but online it's better than ever.

    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon does everything wrong, but not in a bad way. All of the clichés and bad lines actually make it a very funny experience. You can almost call it art.

    From Software developed an amazingly good game. Between all the action, the player can enjoy the beautiful scenery and be overwhelmed by some great sounds. For any Xbox 360 action gamer, this is a must have title.

    Ninja Theory has created a quality game that brings us a strong story and some great visuals. The gameplay feels a bit simple but this isn't as big problem thanks to the well balanced pace.

    Leaving Lyndow is a puzzle and adventure game. The environmental artwork amazes you from beginning to end and a compelling story makes sure you'll be finishing this game in just one sitting.

    Need for Speed The Run is currently the best arcade racing title. It feels like a Hollywood experience. Unfortunately the campaign has a short length but you can spend many hours on the multiplayer and all of the challenges.

    This game is so much fun for almost everybody. It looks great and is nice to play. You would enjoy this much as you love Mario Kart games. The levels are well designed, especially where you see Gargamal and the famous red cat. It's also nice that there are two ways to race: a normal version and a faster one. The latter is not even easy.

    Human Fall Flat is a funny puzzle game. The puzzles are diverse and complex, but not too tough. Don't play too much at once though, because Human Fall Flat can become a bit boring.

    Wolfenstein Youngblood takes a different approach than previous Wolfenstein installments. Co-op instead of solo-adventuring and a bigger emphasis on exploring. Aside from some small hickups with stealth and enemies, it's a blast from beginning to end.

    Planet Alpha reminds us of Limbo and Inside. The gameplay is similar if you think how these games use platform elements and puzzles to drop you in a world without giving you any context. Still it’s a great game with lots of details and a great atmosphere.

    Even though the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 has some performance issues, especially with the Phantom Liberty expansion, there is still a great experience to be had. The game performs surprisingly well when you use the Switch 2 as a handheld, which makes this the best version for Cyberpunk 2077 on the go.

    Zone of the Enders HD Collection has become a beautiful package. Both games offer original gameplay. Even though they are eleven years old, a surprising fact. The barrier between the two games can be pointed out as a negative thing, but both games are good enough to enjoy them throughout the full ride. This package belongs in your collection, no matter what.

    WWE 2K25 offers a lot of new possibilities for fans of wrestling entertainment with an impressive roster and various improvements and additions. Some problems from earlier games remain however, and with the egregious microtransactions in The Island, the game is held back from the same greatness as its coverstar Roman Reigns.
