    What a start of the year. A New Mario game for the Switch. The game has earlier been released for Wii U, but the Switch version is absolutely lovey. It has coop for 4 and a lot of levels to explore. Let's a go.

    Shift 2: Unleashed is a really good game, but it is not a Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo beater. However, it's still very fun to play.

    Castle Crashers Remastered is even seven years at it's original release, still very fun to play. Unfortunately there aren't any significant improvements and changes, and that's quite a shame.

    No More Heroes is finally back with its third part and it's a typical game for the franchise. The boss fights are insanely good, the humor is black and over-the-top and the whole game oozes with style. The return of the boring open world is a mystery however and not every joke is super-effective. If you can't wait to put yourself in the shoes of Travis Touchdown again, however, you can't miss No More Heroes III.

    Code Vein introduces several new concepts to the saturated Soulslike genre with a partnersystem that shines, a focus on story, which is actually influenced by timetravelling and player's choices. The game does enough different to make it stand on its own feet, while still being a Soulslike in its core.

    Elite Dangerous is a very ambitious game. Travel through the massive universe in your own spaceship. Trade, explore and fight your way through the galaxy in this epic and enormous game. But keep in mind: the game still has a way to go until it's finished.

    This War of Mine - The Little Ones looks great and depicts a realistic view of survival in wartime. It is an unforgiving game with a lot of moral choices, but the replay value is pretty low. Still it is a game worth playing.

    Fire Emblem Warriors has enough content for at least twenty hours. When you have a knack for defeating as much enemies as possible, this is the ideal game. Although the game focuses mainly on fighting, it introduces some kind of strategy.

    Mortal Kombat XL offers the complete package. All the costumes, characters and stages in one deal. Graphically the game hasn't changed, but with all this content there is a whole lot to do!

    Resident Evil HD Remaster is yet again an instant classic horror-survival game. The original Resident Evil may be outdated, it's still one of the best games ever made.

    Ode
    Ode is a short but enjoyable ride. Playing as Joy while making your own background tune is both fun and relaxing. Although the game only lasts around two hours, you will be intrigued from start to finish.

    Pokemon GO is already the best thing from 2016. Although the game has some server issues, once these problems are resolved the hype will probably continue. Thanks to limitless possibilities in add ons of Pokemon and features.

    By buying Wii Sports Resort you get a game we recommend. The inferior graphics will be compensated by the beautiful sound and great gameplay. The only thing that should be stopping you from purchasing this game is the rare possibility that you have no-friends to play it with at all!

    Reus is a great game that is trying to make a transition to the console. Though it has amazingly addictive gameplay and visuals, the game can be too complex for beginners and lacks decent controls.

    The combination of a driving and a sandbox game, complete with new car moves, makes Wheelman a very nice game to play for many hours.

    The three new maps are nicely balanced and will attract those that are addicted to the Halo: Reach multiplayer. If 343 Industries can keep this up then the Halo franchise is sure to have a great future.

    Hitman is back, and this time more complete than ever before. With all the new content bundled with the core game, players get more action served. Sadly most technical flaws still remain, but overall the package succeeds.

    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.

    Company of Heroes 2 is not revolutionary as its predecessor was. However, it takes the strengths of the first part with it, polish the game and adds some new elements. And with that said, Company of Heroes 2 is a great game.

    World of Tanks has grown into one of the best-established free-to-play wargames. The game has some improvements and is more accessible for newcomers to the franchise. In short, it's a great game to play with outstanding crossplay functionality.

    This is a very good and realistic game for the 3DS. This game teaches you exactly how to draw something. After that you really want to paint something in real life.

    Lara's birthday gets celebrated with a ton of content and the latest game on most platforms. The story drags you in immediately and the action keeps you sharp. But the game never blows you away. Still this is a must play if you like adventuring.

    A game that pulls out all the stops to provide perfect competition against the big titles, just by being completely different. Nowadays, games just want to improve, look more realistic, have a lifelike appearance or a completely unique style. The arrival of this classic to the Nintendo Switch has once again proved that not everything is about beautiful looks.

    With End Game, DICE put an end to the Battlefield 3 chapter. Thankfully they ended with a bang. End Game offers yet four new great maps and the best vehicle Battefield 3 had so far: the dirtbike. Capture the Flag is also back, and together with Air Superiority you get some great new modes. With only minor issues, DICE can look back at a great series of DLC for a great game.

    Little Nightmares is an awesome game which puts you in a genius story and ambiance. It will make you excited about the very next moment. The game has a lot of creativity in it, with interesting puzzles. The only real cons are some technical problems.

    This role playing game feels fresh and is exactly what the PS Vita needs at this moment. Soul Sacrifice doesn't give players a sword, but the whole game leans on using magic.

    Lo Wang is back! Shadow Warrior 2 improved the aspects that made its predecessor such a good game to create an even better game in a gorgeous setting. The co-op feature does not work optimally yet, but it is still great fun to hack and slash with others.

    Ghostbusters: The Video Game is absolutely a worthy third part in the Ghostbusters series. This game is definitely a must have for every Ghostbusters fan, but probably for every other gamer as well.

    Arkane has almost always delivered quality games and Redfall is no exception. The gameplay is fun, there is an interesting world tO explore, you get a long story and there are tons of guns. With singleplayer and co-op there are very distinct ways to play the game, but we do miss matchmaking and the game could have used some final touches.

    Wuppo is a platform game with its own distinct look and feel. The story that is told throughout the game is fun, and so is the interaction with the world. There are some minors annoyances while playing, but those do not spoil the fun to be had in Wuppo.
