    Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
    Super Mario 3D World already was a great game worth buying, but with the online coop and Bowser's Fury, it justifies another purchase on the Switch. The game looks and feels great, even with four players. It also brings a bit of a challenge for anyone trying to find all secrets but stays accessible for kids who just want to play. Bowser's Fury on the other hand feels a bit short and lacks a worthy coop. Still, this content is great to play, but don't expect a full adventure.

    Dark Souls
    Dark Souls is one of the most difficult games of the year and adds a lot of crazy enemies and surroundings. The co-op could have been done better but that shouldn't stop you from engaging in this sixty hour long adventure.

    Pokemon Pokopia
    If you're a fan of Animal Crossing or Pokémon with a Switch 2, then Pokémon Pokopia is a must buy. It's a cute cozy game that you can play at your own speed, while also being surprisingly hard to put down. The story conclusion is a little disappointing and the controls can be a little unruly, but the game is so much fun that these small issues are easy to ignore.

    Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
    Thanks to the new possibility's, GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony will bring you even better content than GTA IV: The Lost and Damned. And when you decide to buy GTA: Episodes from Liberrty City, you will get them both on one disc.

    Tetris Effect
    It's plain and simple: Tetris Effect is the best Tetris-game ever. It looks gorgeous and VR is amazing. Just buy this game.

    Fez
    Fez is a videogame with brilliant puzzles that will kill your brain. It might take you a while to crack one of these puzzles, but the payoff is great! Together with the beautiful and atmospheric graphics, Fez makes for one hell of an Xbox Live Arcade game.

    Dead Space
    Dead Space is a great re-invention of the original that perfectly balances the look and feel of the original, while incorporating new and updated gameplay elements of later entries in the series. Gamers will feel right at home while playing, but will enjoy the many improvements. Graphics and sound are brought up to date with current standards, making this the true definitive version of Dead Space.

    Guitar Hero 5
    With Guitar Hero 5 Neversoft almost succeeded in creating the perfect music game. Only some small mistakes prevent this game from scoring the complete 100 points. Still this game is the best music game at this moment.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
    Final Fantasy VII Remake just got even better. With the new options in the free PS5 upgrade, you can choose between graphics and performance. The new DLC adds about 5 hours of gameplay starring Yuffie for a reasonable price. It's long enough and it adds enough, but just not enough to buy the entire package anew if needed.

    Out of the Park Baseball 15
    It is too bad baseball is not very popular in Holland, because Out of the Park Baseball 15 is ten times better than it's predecessor.

    Rolling Gunner + Over Power
    Rolling Gunner + Overpower is a really cool shmup. The game gives you a big spree from the start and lets you battle huge bosses with bullet hell guns. Unfortunately the game is really short and there is no co-op mode available. Still ,this is a game you must play, even if the price is a bit high.

    Fire Emblem: Three Houses
    Fire Emblem: Three Houses is even more approachable than its predecessors. The game includes a lot of diverse activities, and because of that it never feels repetitive. All the game asks of you is a little bit of patience.

    FIFA Soccer 11
    The FIFA franchise claims the victory over the Pro Evolution Soccer series again this year. FIFA 11 is definitely the best football game available, at least for the next twelve months.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    A brilliant game that has so many small details that you'll get lost in its world. The conversations could have been a bit better but this never becomes a bother. The amount of freedom will overwhelm you and will bring you back for many more play throughs to come.

    L.A. Noire
    Team Bondi and Rockstar have made something completely unique and appealing. Los Angeles is full of bad guys and finding them may not always be that difficult. It is however always fun to do so. Making L.A. Noire a truly inspirational game that will last for hours.

    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
    While the sequel doesn't deviate far from the trodden path, it improves every aspect of the first time we got to travel with Sam. Less walking, more enemies, more variety in infrastructure and some light RPG elements make this a less revolutionary, but vastly improved experience.

    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
    With a welcome new location, two beloved heroes and a tight storyline that combines main and sidequests like never before, Infinite Wealth might be less crazy than before, but much more compelling and coherent. The combat has been upped with jobs and bonds. As a downside, the added resort island management feels like a mis-fire, but is fortunately mostly optional.

    Resident Evil Requiem
    Capcom shows that Resident Evil remains innovative after 30 years, drawing fans and new players into a brand-new story enhanced by a tense and oppressive atmosphere. Despite minor flaws this could be the horror game of the year.

    Mass Effect 3
    Mass Effect 3 isn't a perfect game, but what you get is one hell of a science fiction experience that you'll never forget.

    Dispatch
    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.

    Apex Legends
    Apex Legends is a new battle royale game from the makers of Titanfall with some cool new features. The game brings a mix of cool tech and a variety of characters. It does, however, only include one mode, which - to its credit - is fun to play.

    Split Fiction
    Split Fiction was a great game on other consoles and that fact remains true on the Switch 2. The frantic gameplay and diverse worlds run smoothly on Nintendo's new console, though the graphics did take a step back. It's a shame, however, that you can't play the game with one set of Joy-Cons, but thankfully Hazelight made it as easy as possible to share the adventure on another Switch.

    Dead Space 2
    Dead Space 2 is a great game that raises the bar for all survival horror games to come. Buying this game will be one of your first great investments of 2011.

    Dreams
    Dreams is an achievement in gaming thanks to its endless possibilities for creations while making it fun to play as well. The easy to understand creator tools allow the players to go wild with their ideas while offering up a short, but great story of its own as well. A plethora of great creations can already be found and we can't wait to see what the Dreams community comes up with next.

    The Walking Dead: Episode 5 - No Time Left
    No Time Left is the finale of an emotional adventure that is told in the best way possible. Never did we have such compassion for a game character. Even after a few years you will remember Clementine and Lee and the hard choices you had to make. An amazing ending to an amazing game.

    The Beatles: Rock Band
    By making The Beatles: Rock Band, Harmonix did a really good job and the game is certainly good in all ways. Unfortunately the few new things aren't all useful and the game doesn't support the other Rock Band content. However, this game is full of Flower Power and therefore you really need to play this at least once in your life.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2
    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is a love letter to the original games thanks to the easy to pick-up, hard to master gameplay. With a great deal of customization to boot and multiple multiplayer options, there is a ton of time to be spent here for a great price. Graphics could've been better at times, but that almost doesn't even matter because you'll be way more focused on the phenomenal soundtrack.

    Battlefield 1
    Battlefield 1 is one of the best entries in the Battlefield franchise. The immersion of the single-player and the sublime multiplayer modes are a joy to play for hours to come.
