    Awesomenauts is truly awesome and lets you play with deep characters in a fun tactical eighties environment. The game is unbalanced at times and there aren't too many characters and maps, but that shouldn't stop you from buying this game.

    3D Dot Game Heroes was clearly inspired by the good, old Zelda games and does it in a way that would make Miyamoto proud. The game is challenging and has enough variety to stay entertaining until the very end.

    PulzAR makes great use of the AR technology to offer some interesting and tough puzzles. The technology does have some hiccups, however.

    Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet offers some fun puzzles and way too easy bosses. Its unique art style definitely makes it worth playing but the familiar gameplay, as seen in dozens of older games, disable the game from being something truly special.

    A fast, complex futuristic arcade racer that doesn't shy away from doing things differently. This one is not for everyone, but those that can master the controls and keep their cool will have a blast.

    Tropico 5 on PS4 is just as fun as the PC version. The controls are surprisingly intuitive and the gameplay is addictive. Viva la revolucion!

    Bravely Default II returns to what gamers loved about the first installment while using the better hardware to upgrade the graphics. The return of the Brave/Default system, a wide variety of jobs, and the many interesting, outspoken characters are offset by quite a difficulty spike in story-related fights which too often require extensive grinding.

    Worms 2: Armageddon is not different from the other Worms games. It works very nice and it looks great, but it is a shame that Team 17 didn't create something new.

    Worms WMD is a fun game to play with friends. The new vehicles and weapon building mechanics are enough to make the game feel fresh. It doesn't really bring enough to the table if it comes to renewal of the franchise though.

    Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue consists of great new content. It is a great role-playing game and gives us more information about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3 game. The new graphics live up to expectations.

    Although Destiny is a great game, we expected it to be a bit bigger. Nonetheless, it plays amazingly, has some beautiful planets and we look forward to the raids in the future.

    This is the final episode of Telltale's Batman. And it's awesome. You finally understand a lot of things.

    High Moon studios has delivered a good third-person shooter that uses a lot of recognisable elements from the original 80's cartoon. The game is suitable for everyone, so people that are new to the franchise will have just as much fun as hardcore transformers fans.

    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.

    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is an ultimate realistic shooter. For some this can be the reason to ignore this game. But for those who seek a good challenge, this is just the right shooter.

    There's so much to do in this game, it's easy to forget the world around you. Unfortunately, LEGO: Harry Potter: Years 5-7 lacks in originality compared to earlier LEGO titles, but the real LEGO fan shouldn't be bothered by this. Without a doubt, this is one of the best games in the LEGO series to date. Yes that's right, we were under its spell.

    Dragon Quest Heroes II offers a beautiful mix of musou and RPG. There are tons of characters and there is a lot to do in the game. Especially hack-and-slashing. Plus, it offers a multiplayer mode. It has a few flaws, but nothing game-breaking.

    Latest iteration of a long running series doesn't entirely know whether to go for realistic tennis play or full party mode. The Fever rackets and courts are a welcome deviation from the norm.

    Milestone delivers the best MotoGP game to date, but the improvements that come with every iteration form a slow process. For every two steps forward, there is one step backward. This game has much to offer content-wise and the gameplay is solid enough Unfortunately, weird AI glitches, inconsistent quality of the graphics and the sounds of the bikes occasionally get in the way of experiencing the thrill that is MotoGP.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage is a nice mixture of old and new. The look and feel of this more focused adventure match that of earlier entries, whilst going back to it's roots with the focus on stealth. Deep skill trees and a gigantic map have been swapped for a slimmed down Bagdad and a few skills to choose from. Fans of the Ezio and Altaïr era are going to feel at home right away, and even the mediocre story and the nagging bug now and then, are not going stop you from having a fun trip down memory lane.

    What it ultimately comes down to with EA Sports FC 25 is that the game is more of the same from what we've had in recent years from the EA Sports quiver.The game is still plagued by age-old bugs and glitches, still has weird inconsistencies when it comes to gameplay and continues to have a complete imbalance between defending and attacking.

    A decent new entry to the revamped GRID series, which keeps the middle between pure arcade and sim racing. Races are no-nonsense across diverse tracks. While not without technical issues, the races itself are generally enjoyable and graphically above adequate. Progress is regularly gated, which could have easily been dropped, as there is more than enough content available. An even larger range of tracks would have been great.

    The singleplayer storyline is far from interesting but the awesome gameplay makes up for it. R.U.S.E. brings a fresh breeze into the RTS genre and strategists will have, without a doubt, tons of fun with this game.

    PGA Tour 2K21 borrows a lot from its Golf Club predecessors. By adding a helpful tutorial and many aids, HB Studios have made the game accessible to newcomers, while retaining higher difficulty levels for returning golf fans. PGA Tour 2K21 is the most all-round golf game currently available.

    Quantum Conundrum is a great puzzle game. The different dimensions give the game a unique feel and the cartoony style is nicely chosen. The controls are a bit sensitive, but it's not too bad. If you like solving puzzles, you are going to like Quantum Conundrum.

    Realm of the Wood Elves is a mediocre to good expansion for Total War Warhammer. New intriguing races and a different playstyle offers some more fun with the game. Although not every feature works that well.

    WWE 2K22 is a definite improvement over the last game thanks to a great gameplay flow that enhances the fights in major ways. The deep customization has taken a hit however and a few bugs and glitches also keep the game from achieving greatness.

    Shadows of the Damned will make you laugh and cry at the same time. The funny conversations and the cool grindhouse style will put a grin on your face but the weak gameplay might cause you to throw your controller against the wall sometimes.

    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.
