    Sribblenauts Megapack combines two strong games for both young and old. The game ask for your creativity and challenges you to find original solutions. Advise is to play the games on Switch instead of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

    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.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is a cool game but the weak campaign mode tends to ruin a lot. It could be better if they improved more of the mistakes that were made in the first Ultimate Ninja Storm. The only mode is the best improvement that you will find.

    This is such a lovely title for the PS Vita. The old Ratchet and Clank games are still the best and after more than 10 years still worth it. Ratchet & Clank is just an awesome duo.

    Flame in the Flood is a sweet addition to the roguelike genre. It looks great and offers a good challenge. The menu however is a little annoying at times and if you die it can feel like you got cheated. Still this game is worth every penny.

    This upgraded edition features sharp 4K visuals and makes smart use of Switch 2 hardware like the camera and Joy-Con 2. New modes such as Bowser Live and Carnival Coaster are fun but feel more like tech demos due to their lack of depth. The core Mario Party gameplay is still strong, with new team-based and chaos-driven rule sets adding variety. It's a great choice for newcomers, but returning players may find limited value without full hardware support.

    Evolve offers a unique experience. Warning: you will forget Call of Duty and Destiny. This is a title you will play month after month after month.

    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.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda is simply an amazing game. It renews the franchise yet manages to feel really familiar for fans. Unfortunately, the game suffers from some technical problems, but they hardly impact the gameplay.

    Hyrule Warriors has an attractive and well executed Zelda-skin, but the repetitive Warriors gameplay and lackluster co-op functionalities make this a less-than-successful spin-off.

    ShootMania Storm is a shooter in every inch of the game. To get the best out of this game it is advisable to play with a group of friends, since the game is heavily focused on eSports and teamplay. ShootMania Storm lacks a few features like voice-chat and outdated graphics. Despite that, it is a great game for people that just want to play a fastpaced shooter.

    Stick It To The Man is a bit tiny when it comes to content as there is not a lot of it and the game is pretty easy, but it is a very original game with lots of humor and mind reading fun.

    Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut is an amazing horror game. The ambiance is perfect. It will get you hooked and will not leave you alone until you figure out what is happening.

    Is the Wii U dead? Not by a long shot. Paper Mario Color Splash is good for adults and for kids. The game offers a nice combination of action, RPG and adventure.

    Batman: Arkham Origins is definitely flawed, but most of all it is an awesome game. It just does not bring anything new to the table.

    The new installment of the LEGO Star Wars franchise has turned out to be a good game. Every aspect has been improved but you'll often find yourself lost, not knowing what to do because of the unclear mission objectives.

    Firewatch contains some of the greatest dialogue we've heard in a while. If you like story-driven games with minimalistic gameplay, you should definitely play Firewatch.

    The artificial intelligence in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is pretty bad and the story is very poor. On the other hand this game is extremely brutal with quite some entertainment value.

    The second episode of Life is Strange Before the Storm doesn't quite live up to the expectations set by the success of the first episode. The ending manages to save the day but does put pressure on Dontnod to make the finale worthwhile.

    Ruzzle Adventure is surprisingly good. The game modes offer a good amount of variety which keeps the game fresh. It's a pity the game doesn't offer a good balance in the letters though, as more often then not, you receive an abundance of vowels.

    Sports Champions is a perfect example of what the Playstation Move is capable of. Just don't expect to find any form of innovation in this game.

    Wonderbook is great ‘game’ for kids, but for adults it’s too short and too easy. Children will enjoy the unique atmosphere of the game, the great story and the humour.

    With Dawn of Ragnarok, Ubisoft has finished the Assassin's Creed Valhalla-arc, and it does so with style. Players can explore a huge new world and use new powers, which add a whole new layer to the gameplay. Besides the storyline there is plenty to do in Svartalfheim. The world does feel a bit repetitive at times and the price tag of the DLC is a bit high, but for fans of Valhalla, Dawn of Ragnarok is certainly worth it.

    Norn9: Last Era is a fine game for fans of the franchise as well as newcomers thanks to some great voice acting, great characters and beautiful music. The prelude is a bit long though, which might scare some people of.

    While the complete edition is a fun blast from the past Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game it is just that. It's a game from a different time that has some trouble keeping up with the new games in town. The addition of an online co-op is nice though.

    MX vs. ATV Reflex is a solid game that meets expectations. The Reflex system is a nice addition, but besides that this game is just not special in any way.

    Phoenix Labs has delivered a magical, inclusive game with many useful features that lead to a stress-free and fun experience. The NPCs feel a bit shallow, but that doesn’t take too much away from the game.

    If Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers was a snack, it would be a delicious one. For just a few bucks you will get some puzzles you can solve with your own vision and creativity. The game isn't very long and after completing the story you won't have much to fall back on.

    Infinite Minigolf is a great game with infinite possibilities. Infinite courses are a great way to make sure you keep on playing. The only con is the camera, which doesn't always show the entire course.

    Thrones of Britannia has the potential to entertain for hours, if you're able to look past its flaws. A very decent strategy game, but Creative Assembly has the possibility to make it great.
