    This Vita version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 plays and looks just as great as its console-brothers. It does not add anything other than a horrible touch-mode, however.

    The first Smash Ultimate DLC delivers a great fighter with Persona 5’s Joker. His fighting is balanced well even though he’s pretty bad in the air. Luckily Arcane has his back and that’s just one example of the great fanservice this DLC has to offer.

    Alienation looks great and is a very entertaining game if you are playing with friends. There are a few hiccups in the online multiplayer and there is no offline multiplayer. If you want to play a classic arcade shooter with friends this is your game.

    The Fallout 76 Wastelanders update might be the salvation of the game. The free expansion finally adds NPCs to the world and adds a lot of new content. Bethesda also improved the graphics, in particular the lighting system. It's still not technically perfect however and the new additions come with their own problems. Still, the Wastelanders update is a giant leap for Fallout 76.

    The season finale of Telltale's Game of Thrones has its moments, but the story of Gared is disappointing as there are some game-breaking glitches. However, the overall impact of the choices is very good and may give us a good glimpse for the next season.

    The King of Fighters XV is a great fighting game and SNK did a good job on bringing it up to par with the likes of the competition. However the game has a fantastic roster, great gameplay and is looking fantastic, there are still a few things missing. You can't really unlock things, there aren't as many modes as you would wish and the story just isn't that long. If those things were better, then the game which already kicks ass, would bring even the greatest of competitors on its knees.

    L.A. Noire still is a great detective game. With 4K resolution and HDR support it looks better than ever. The strong ambiance and gameplay remains and all the DLC is included. Though not much has changed and some technical flaws are there, it kicks ass.

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is the long0awaited result of a Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem cross-over. The game provides quite the challenge, but a challenge that's worth experiencing because of it's light-hearted story and traditional JRPG gameplay.

    Even though there are still some bugs left The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is a really fun experience. The game plays wonderfully and Lady Katarina is an awesome sidekick. This is a great starting point if you want to get your hands on an Action RPG for the first time.

    Pokkén Tournament DX is an enhanced port of Wii U's Pokkén Tournament. It fixes some of its previous installments problems by simple adding some new Pokémon and having everything available from the get go.

    Tom Happ has delivered a true Metroidvania game. The world is huge and offers something to discover around every corner. The game is not that challenging and the controls could have been better, but this is still a must have for the Switch.

    With Dawn of Ragnarok, Ubisoft has finished the Assassin's Creed Valhalla-arc, and it does so with style. Players can explore a huge new world and use new powers, which add a whole new layer to the gameplay. Besides the storyline there is plenty to do in Svartalfheim. The world does feel a bit repetitive at times and the price tag of the DLC is a bit high, but for fans of Valhalla, Dawn of Ragnarok is certainly worth it.

    This is a simple yet amusing and challenging game. There really is nothing bad to say except that the Turbo mode doesn't really add much.

    Alice: Madness Returns is a wolf in sheep's clothing. This game may look honest and cute, but it's cruel and bloody. Alice takes you to an another unforgettable experience in Wonderland. And if you didn't remember the first experience, then you get the opportunity to play the first game for free. Buy it, please.

    Skyrim is, was, and will always be the RPG that set the tone. The special edition brings back all the positive and even manages to improve in some areas. Although not perfect, Skyrim special edition is a must have when prices drop.

    Zombie Army finally has its own face as the graphics are a lot better than its predecessors and there are plenty of new elements. You get to fight zombies in new areas, battle new enemies and get the best experience when slaughtering zombies with some good old-fashioned co-op gameplay. The only real downside is the reduced possibility for sniping.

    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.

    Motocross Madness doesn't score many points on the audio-visual presentation. The game does, however, in the gameplay. And in that case it scores big. Many different game modes with maps that provide you with countless sidetracks and an expansive reward system, are only a few features Motocross Madness has to offer. This game will set you back ten bucks, and we promise you those bucks will be damn well spent.

    Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition is a Special Edition and remaster in one. The game had been brushed up to 1080p and tweaked for smooth gameplay. Capcom missed some details, but nevertheless this is a must buy.

    Lawbreakers is a fresh new FPS with some room for improvement, but so far it’s a neat experience. For the price of 30,- euro’s you’ll have hours and hours of fun.

    Whilst Call of Duty Vanguard does not innovate much to push the boundaries of the franchise further, The WWII shooter does deliver a compelling experience. The short, but action-packed single-player offers a nice introduction, although it could be a bit more coherent. The zombies' mode offers some new elements, while still feeling trusted. But by far the biggest reason to like Vanguard is multiplayer. With a nice selection of maps, plenty of modes, and some tweaks to the known formula, it truly delivers.

    Just Cause 4 is the perfect example of what Just Cause is. The action is over-the-top and amazing, but the story is really thin and missions get repetitive. If you love the explosive gameplay however, you are set for a perfect vacation.

    Tumble is absolutely worth the small amount of ten bucks. This unique title uses a very simple principle and developer Supermassive Games clearly knows how to make a great Move-game.

    Telltale Batman keeps getting better with every episode. The choices you can make give the game it's power. The fighting scenes are good, though some more freedom is something that can be implemented.

    Shadow of the Beast unleashes a beast out for revenge. It offers some puzzles, a lot of platforming and even more disgustingly good hack and slash action. There is a lot of stuff to unlock as well which keeps you busy for hours.

    Ghost of Yotei improves the solid foundation built by Ghost of Tsushima. With the stunning Ezo region there's a whole lot of diversity in both activities and beautiful locations, while Atsu's revenge tale is great throughout.

    Hitman: Sniper Challenge is a great appetizer for Absolution. In the beginning you may be a bit lost but after a few games you shoot people down like it's your job. You'll become a real hitman and that is perhaps the best thing a game like Sniper Challenge can do. If this quality remains in Absolution, expect great things.
