    Skullgirls offers the necessary depth and artistic images which make it a great game. The soundtrack is fantastic as well, and the game contains a great combat system. The game really stands its ground within the fighting game genre.

    Mafia Definitive Edition is how a classic game should be remade. It keeps the soul of the original and pulls the title back into the modern era of games. The amazing story is kept intact with only a couple of changes here and there, including a totally new cast of voice actors. It's only a pity that the new version of Paulie is not up to snuff. Besides that, however, Hangar 13 has done an amazing job to introduce the original Mafia to a new audience and the game deserves to be played.

    Life is Strange Episode 4 is the best Life is Strange game we've seen so far. The story finally gets exciting and fully immersive, and the cliffhanger at the end is a great tease towards the final episode. It also contains more detective elements, which makes the game more active.

    DOOM Eternal mostly offers more of the same, which is no punishment at all. The game only falls short in platforming activities. Fortunately, the main focus of the game is on slaughtering demons and there is no game that does it better than DOOM Eternal. Mixing the old with the new has proven to be a successful formula when developing games. More of the same please, thank you!

    Madden NFL 11 is definitely the best game in the franchise and adds to the formula that only seems to improve every year. GameFlow is a fantastic feature and makes the game accessible for even those who aren't familiar with American Football.

    Animal Crossing New Horizons delivers on all fronts. Even though you know what to expect, the game manages to surprise you in meaningful ways that'll keep you playing for hundreds of hours. The localisation could've been better, but that doesn't impact the fun that you're guaranteed to have.

    PES 2017 is another step in the right direction. Konami thus capitalizes further on their strong formula. While not everything is perfect, the core gameplay is really on point: a real joy for lovers of football games.

    The only thing we don’t like about Rain is its playtime: it’s too short, we want to enjoy more of this game. A stunning display of story, with a magnificent soundtrack and we haven’t even talked about the gameplay yet. Puzzling in the rain has never been this beautiful and good.

    Forza Motorsport 6 is one of the most astonishing racing games ever made. The game offers a complete Forza experience with lots of cars, tracks and race types. Unfortunately, the impressive weather system isn't dynamic, but that doesn't spoil the pleasure.

    The game features a whole bunch of additions, of which the main innovation is the new multiplayer mode. This new game in the franchise is once again a top shelf production, but it's not for people who like quick action, because the use of stealth is always needed.

    If you're able to ignore the flaws in the beta of PUBG you see the potential that's in the game. PUBG is super exciting from the very beginning until the very last end, which makes it one of the best Battle Royale games out there. [Early Access Score = 75]
