    Though the simple gameplay and fun exploration do overstay their welcome, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is still good fun. Especially for a younger audience. The darker story, while lacking a bit in depth, is well balanced in a way even children can enjoy it. Most of all, collecting all the Monsties is a joy.

    Now that the competition is out of the way (Harmonix did not make a new Dance Central yet) Ubisoft has the spotlight. The new Just Dance allows dancers to have an online competition on the World Dance Floor, which is lots of fun. Ubisoft did take out some of the nicer options for single player gamers though, which is a pity.

    Project Spark feels more like a tool to make your own videogames than a videogame on its own. We are not too fond of the in game transactions, but other than that Project Spark is free to play and gives you the opportunity to make in depth levels.

    Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far bundles almost the entire story. Not every game is playable, some stories are added as a movie. Still there is a huge amount of gameplay for a very little price. The strangest thing is that this is a PS4 exclusive.

    The Mage's Tale is one of the most gorgeous VR-games to date for the PlayStation 4.

    This is a good fighting game. However it's a bit too simple. Real PlayStation fans will have a lot of fun with it because of the exclusive characters and all the recognizable environments.

    This is not a smooth platformer like Mario, but it is one where you really have to puzzle your way through. The cut scenes are a bit annoying, the story as well, but the gameplay is really loveable. It is fun to create different natural things with your magic marker and even though not everybody is a fan of the controls, we found them an creative and challenging in a positive way.

    Costume Quest is a fun game that will make a lot of people happy with its simplistic style and its witty conversations. The only downside of this game is the lack of variety.

    A nostaglic Pac-Man remake that adds modern graphics, new quality of life elements, while keeping the humor and gameplay of the original alive.

    Story is simple and nothing complex, dark vs light, I liked it. It makes you look forward to the next few sequel. The camera angle is the worst enemy of this game.

    Need for Speed is a nice reboot of the series, but with its own flaws. From a technical standpoint the game looks amazing, and the sound is great too. There is plenty of content in the box, but the game lacks personality.

    The Next Generations DLC for Bridge Crew offers a brand new ship to play with, including a new role and overall feel. The new enemies are a nice addition to the game, although the expansion could have been a little more substantial.

    An awesome character and a big open world to play in, that's what you get in Sunset Overdrive. Lots of weapons, power-ups, mutants and a great way to travel, making it an unique experience for every player.

    Shadow Heritage continues the style set by the first episode, with a new Order to hunt down, a continued story with Darius and his son/daughter and new goodies te play with. The new Order isn't as intimidating however and the story-area is quite small.

    The concept of Potzol's Puzzle is pretty unique and works great on the 3DS. There are a lot of different game modes to explore but unfortunately it all comes down to the same thing: aiming blocks through holes in a wall. This can cause boredom after a while.

    The Escapists 2 is a great game and there are a lot of different ways to escape. You will enjoy the humor of the game. But it might be a bit hard to escape the prison.

    With Nexus two beloved characters of Sony, Ratchet & Clank, are back and we love it. With the motto of ‘never change a winning team’ developer Insomniac Games doesn’t change too much about the game. It’s still fun to play, with some original weapons and good graphics. It is, however, too short to be brilliant and doesn’t have too many innovations.

    Metroid returns after 6 years to the Nintendo 3DS with Metroid Prime Federation Force. While the game certainly isn't the dream comeback the Metroid franchise needs, it's a fun experience nonetheless that should be fully enjoyed with four players.

    With stunning visuals and some intense shoot outs with the Helghast, Killzone: Shadow Fall delivers on of the best experiences for first-person shooters on the PlayStation 4. However, with some boring sequences and certain strange gimmicks – the Owl – it fails to be the best first-person shooter. A good launch game for Sony’s next-gen console, but certainly not the best.

    This game has a unique style and is good in general, yet lacks smooth controls. The 3DS-standard is also not that impressive.

    Datura is a game, but most of all an experience. Like a boy scout you walk around in a very peaceful forest which is relaxing. But as you walk along you'll discover that this forest might not be as peaceful as you thought. It does depend on your choices how the game will end, but unfortunately Datura is not very clear about that, so it seems to be a very short game, while there actually are more than ten endings to it.

    Sorcery offers a very cool way of using the PlayStation Move and brings a funny story suitable for any age. That is why it is a shame that he rest of the game offers very little content. The story is about zeven hours long and doesn't trigger the player to keep playing. Overall it's still a game that every Move-owner should get a taste of.

    Flip Wars is a fun little game for the Switch, that is ideal to play with some friends on the couch. The gameplay, though simple, is entertaining for all ages. Sadly the game lacks any single-player content. But it's low price makes up for a lot of it.

    The Move controller steals the show in Hydrophobia Prophecy. Together with the controls, the visual improvements makes the PS3-version the most complete and solide version to buy. Still it has its shortcomings, like the sometimes bad camera angles.

    Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age on Switch delivers a comprehensive and thrilling journey, though with some flaws. While the game itself offers hours of RPG fun, it's older age shows. The steep price tag is also something to keep in mind.

    Patapon Remastered entertains just like the original did. Its looks fantastic and plays away just right. The hunting part however is still far too stretching. Nevertheless, Patapon is a game you have to play.

    This game is original. Not only do you fight against enemies, but the clock is ticking too! So it's a shoot em up with a lot of chaos, but it's addictive to play.
