    The Spyro Reignited Trilogy for the Switch is a beauty to behold. The dragon feels at home on the Switch, with its easy and accessible gameplay, but it suffers from several framedrops and severe loading times.

    A beautiful game. Without spoken words and in a colorful world you'll get to know a deep story about a child's sickness.

    For Honor is an epic fighting game, but it comes with its flaws. While the combat is compelling and profound, the game does not always feel that responsive to your actions. The content in the game is diverse, but suffers from some connection issues.

    Great sequel with many improvements. Your canine company 'buddy' is both adorable and useful in combat and solving puzzles. You're fitted out with a wide range of guns and the occasional melee weapon, but their usefulness is limited - as is your storage for them. Focus is clearly still on shooting Freddies. The improved reload-mechanism adds a new source of anxiety, especially when you fumble with Freddies approaching. There are a couple of technical hiccups, but they don't stand in the way of fun.

    The first Spider-Man DLC is short, but a great deal of fun thanks to a great story. It feels like the start of the story though and is not stand-alone, except for the side-missions. Those offer a change of pace and make the package worth it in the end.

    If you own a Switch and you like puzzle or partygames, you need to own this title. It offers a unique stress-free puzzle experience and at the same time it lets you play with or against friends. For the price of 20 euros this is a must-buy.

    Aside from being a way to easy game with some lag during the online modes, Dead or Alive: Dimensions offers a solid experience. The graphics are very good, even in 3D, and the Chronicle Mode is a fun addition.

    ZeGame is one of those games that's easy to learn, but hard to master. By making optimal use of a simple concept (moving a block across obstacles to the finish line) and including a level editor, ZeGame is a great game for every puzzle fan.

    Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the 40K-version of the Vermintide games and Fatshark delivers again a fantastic co-op experience. The combat feels visceral and meaty and is a true upgrade compared to the former games. There are however a lot less classes, even though they all feel unique. Some features are clearly removed during production, so hopefully they will get added next to more classes. Fatshark has already released some updates, so the future is looking bright for Darktide.

    The third episode from Tales from the Borderlands is magnificent and the best episode of the series so far. Action-packed, character-defining and overall funny. A great piece of work from Telltale.

    Call of Duty Infinite Warfare does that what CoD does best. High tempo combat of huge scale, but now in a space setting. You feel like being part of a movie. Zombies made by far the biggest growth. The multiplayer is fine, but feels like Black Ops 3 Plus.

    Dead Nation is roughly the same game as back in 2010, nevertheless Housemarque was able to deliver yet another great game for the PS4 with all the new features.

    Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning brings you back to a magical world. The game has been polished to bring it to 2020. This succeeded for the better part of it. The game looks good overall but here and there the aging is still visible pretty clearly. For 40 euros you still get a hell of a RPG with more than 40 hours of story, all of the DLC and next to that a lot of side missions, tons of weapons and more. Also, there is a new DLC on it's way for the game slated in 2021. That makes this more than worth the buy.

    Though LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes does not have many levels in its storymode, the large open world that is Gotham City is a very pleasant feature. There are tons of golden bricks to collect, red bricks to buy and villains to search for. And it is just as nice to go on a discovery trip in the open world as it is to play the levels and collect everything to get to that 100% completion mark.

    Beat Saber is one of the most fun VR-games to play on PlayStation 4. The combination of lightsabers, great music and intense virtual reality is pure gold.

    If you are looking for a decent shooter for the Wii U, then this is the title to get. It offers a single-player, a zombi mode and lots of hours to spend in the multiplayer.

    The Division offers a beautiful and realistic world which is greatly supported by fun and well-balanced gameplay with lots of variety in skills and weapons. But for now the game lacks high level content, making the experience a bit repetitive in the end.

    It is hard to come up with original new IPs in a world of Call of Duty and Halo, but Titanfall really knows how to impress with their huge titans. You have to get used to the Xbox One controls, but the nice surroundings and fun multiplayer gameplay are definitely worth it.

    Mutant Mudds has become a fun little game that actually makes some good use of the 3D possibilities of the 3DS. The style is great, the gameplay is challenging but the levels can get pretty repetitive after a while.

    EA delivers a good American Football game with Madden 15. The developer and publisher offer a lot of small changes with the new title, like improved defending and additions to the playcalling, but all together manage to improve the game dramatically.

    If you haven't played the original version this is the game for you. It looks pretty and colorful even though some elements are a bit outdated.

    Smoke and Sacrifice is a surprisingly complete game. It offers a ton of crafting options and challenges you on every step you take. The story is interesting and plays out in a wonderful hand drawn world. It is not perfect, but definitely worth your time.

    Thirteen years ago one might have titled this game as the crown jewel of role-playing games. But today, the Enhanced Edition of Baldur's Gate II shows us clearly how times have changed in the gaming world. It's the perfect excuse for those who want to back to the golden gaming era, but newcomers to these kind of games might have a hard time becoming immersed.

    UnEpic is a big Metroidvania game which offers tons of weapons, enemies and rooms. It easily entertains you for 15 hours, but meanwhile the jokes can become an overkill. Still, the game is absolutely worth your time and money.

    A war simulation that can be considered one of the best in its genre. It delivers great tactical battles on the Pacific during the Second World War and is a must-have for strategy fans.

    Capcom proves once again that the origin of Resident Evil is still worthwhile. The games are brushed up a little bit and have small changes. Also a few extras have been added. This way the games stay interesting for everyone.

    This part closes the Lords of Shadow saga pretty nicely. The gameplay and graphics are about the same as the original. Despite the modern setting the game pulls you into the story quite quickly.

    State of Decay offers a huge world full with people that are trying to survive. You can help them or leave them to rot. Your choices have impact in the course of the game and you direct it. Through skill trees and loot you gain more power to defeat the undead and despite the bugs and laggy framerate, State of Decay is a true survival of the fittest.

    It's hard not to like the addictive gameplay of Trials. You'll keep failing and failing and yet you can't seem to stop playing. It's a shame that the PC had to wait so long to get a piece of this.

    TT Games has created a good game that just clicks like the original LEGO bricks. It's a lighthearted, fun game that will keep you busy for quite some time.
