    Klonoa sees the revival of two beloved, but underappreciated platformer games from the early PlayStation years. While the graphics have been souped up, the gameplay is near identical including its unique use of catching and using enemies. Some quality-of-life changes have been made to make the games more accessible to both old and new players, most notably a more modern use of checkpointing.

    Playing MotorStorm RC feels like a crime. For only six euros you get a game that's fun to play, is very addictive, looks great and has plenty of content.

    The Walking Dead The Final Season is a thrilling finale of one of the greatest game franchises of all time.

    Rabbids go Home is a very nice game which unfortunately scores bad on the graphics. Still Rabbids go Home is fun to play thanks to the nice gameplay and the overload of humour.

    The Missing Link is a good addition to Deus Ex: Human Revolution but has some lesser moments as well. The first half of the game is simply great, after that you'll be running from A to B in places you've visited before, making it kinda dull. Nevertheless The Missing Link can be a lot of fun because it combines all the aspects that made the Deus Ex franchise so great.

    For a real bargain price you'll get three great games which will give you hours of fun. The games are still great even though there aren't any real changes in the gameplay. If you missed one or more of these games, or you just want to play the games again then this trilogy is a real must buy!

    Same Samus, different world means Beyond is a fine combination between everything that makes Metroid games great, with some much needed additions. The open world addition isn't really that great, but the play with new psi-powers and bike keep the gameplay fresh.

    Skylanders Imaginators is a worthy sequel which brings a lot to the table. Despite some shortcomings, it is a worthy followup in the popular franchise.

    This is a decent Japanese role playing game but the truth is Ni No Kuni is better.

    Shadow Warrior 2 is really enjoyable if you play with four players. The loading screens are, however, annoying and the game is not completely balanced. In the end it is a nice enough game with over the top action.

    It's a fun strategy game which you play with the GamePad. There are different campaigns to play and it's really addictive because of all the things you have to handle at the same time: money, soldiers, mana and so on.

    This year's NBA 2K game is one of the best in recent years. The MyCareer mode has an actual interesting story with a great cast of characters. The Jordan challenge is an incredible addition to the game and is really fun to play through. MyTeam is basically the same as last year but added Triple threat co-op, which is cool. The game does have some framerate issues and camera bugs which could be annoying but every good aspect of the game makes up for it.

    TT Games delivers once again within the LEGO Star Wars franchise. The game is fun, accessible and offers many hours of gameplay. The new elements are great and a solid addition to the game. This is simply a must have.

    We've spent at least 12 hours in Dungeon of the Endless, and we haven't seen the end yet. And yet we start our quest over and over again, because the tactical gameplay and the element of luck that comes with randomly generated environments makes this game something special.

    Spin Cycle offers a lot of unique and tough puzzles for a low price. Although it has its defects, it manages to entertain you.

    For new players, Super Street Fighter IV - Arcade Edition is a great game to enter the world of Street Fighter. The casual gamer won't find much fun in this new arcade edition but the fighting fans will have the time of their life!

    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.

    This is a very fun, but also frustrating 2D-platformgame. It's all about figuring out puzzles, figuring out how to get to the next level. Your clone will definitely die a couple of times, but the way he smashes is very fun to look at, so you will probably not feel sorry. This videogame with more than 80 levels is definitely worth your money.

    Days Gone Remastered adds little in terms of graphics or improvements on old faults. Loading times are still there and old bugs are (still) not fixed, while introducing new ones with DualSense support. Additions like permadeath and horde mode are welcome but not enough to warrant the upgrade.

    The Side Order DLC adds an interesting new mode to Splatoon 3. The Tower of Order is surprisingly challenging and the gameplay is diverse with color chips to change your playstyle. However, we would have liked to see some more variation in challenges and boss fights, which makes the randomized floors feel the same a bit too quickly. For the price however, Side Order is a must-have DLC for fans of Splatoon 3.

    Although the graphics are outdated, it is still a game to enjoy. People who play the CoD-games a lot, but never played the first part on the PC, now have the chance to play this first Call of Duty game.

    Bejeweled 3 is a good puzzle game with a lot of different modes. But it is very expensive for the amount of content you'll receive!

    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.

    The latest edition of Chime has some very catchy beats and has the same great gameplay that we're used to. A multiplayer mode and some more levels could have bumped this game up to a 9,0.

    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.

    You're constantly doing the same thing in Space Channel 5: Part 2. You can only play it for a little while before the boredom kicks in. The game is weird and absurd, making it surprisingly charming.

    The game offers a quirky life simulation managing Mii characters on a lively island, focusing on relationships, humor, and unexpected interactions, though its long term appeal depends on tolerance for repetition.

    You might not expect it but Mario Golf is an extremely fun game to play. It is filled with lots of content and Mario manages to present Golf as an entertaining sport.
