    Without any doubt, Shadow Warrior, is a great reimagining of the old classic. The game is brutal in many ways, with one-liners reminding us of Duke Nukem. It’s a bit repetitive and some variation wouldn’t kill the mood. Overall it is a good game with a lot of blood and a great fighting system. In the words of Wang: it’s wangtastic!

    Days Gone Remastered adds little in terms of graphics or improvements on old faults. Loading times are still there and old bugs are (still) not fixed, while introducing new ones with DualSense support. Additions like permadeath and horde mode are welcome but not enough to warrant the upgrade.

    Rivals is a bit more stunning on the next-gen console, but that’s literally it. It still has the same faults as the current-gen version and can’t seem to deliver a great game.

    Risen 3: Titan Lords is a great game, but it is a bit short on story and depth. If you are into RPG’s, please take the plunge for a few hours and see if this is your cup of tea. Combat has been improved so Risen-fans will be happy.

    The second episode of Life is Strange 2 delivers on the return of Chris, a beautiful soundtrack and some great art. It's a shame the facial expressions suffer due to the art style though. It's a great nostalgic trip nonetheless.

    Dead Hungry Diner is a pretty good indie game, despite the very simple main concept. In fifty levels you won't get bored one single time. With just an endless amount of minor additions that you get while playing through te game, Dead Hungry Diner strikes the right chord.

    NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a great game for anyone who loves over-the-top arcade basketball games. It is great fun even though it's a grind without using microtransactions.

    The Missing Link is a good addition to Deus Ex: Human Revolution but has some lesser moments as well. The first half of the game is simply great, after that you'll be running from A to B in places you've visited before, making it kinda dull. Nevertheless The Missing Link can be a lot of fun because it combines all the aspects that made the Deus Ex franchise so great.

    Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a good game for those that are tired of the classical shooter games. It's not the best game out there but it will guarantee you a lot of entertainment filled hours.

    Gravity Rush offers an interesting concept and a great audiovisual style, capable of creating an instant classic. Unfortunately fighting can be frustrating and the ending can be unclear, keeping this game from achieving said status.

    Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu is a fun new take on the classic Pokémon formula, that makes the deeper systems more accessible for newer players. Sadly the controls are obtuse and the game is a little on the easy side

    Concrete Genie leaves you begging for more in an experience that's short and sweet. Even though the game isn't challenging it feels great to play as you let your imagination run wild. With a charming story and great characters to boot you should definitely be playing this if you don't mind the short runtime.

    The original three Spyro games have been completely remade and you can feel it when it comes to the controls and camera. Luckily it goes unnoticed more often than not as you’ll be smitten with a fairy-tale story and beautiful music.

    Mighty Switch Force is a fun, well designed puzzle platformer, keeping you interested until the end. You'll reach that end far too soon however and there is but little motivation to return to completed levels.

    Burnout Paradise Remastered is an amazing game, but the game is way too easy and too expensive. The fact that there’s no new content is also a pity.

    LEGO The Incredibles is a game you will definitely enjoy if you loved other LEGO games. It has some great humor and is a dream come true for all Pixar fans. Still, the game feels a bit uninspired with a lack of unique characters and the same bugs again.

    Luigi's Mansion 3 treats the player to a meaty single-player adventure, with beautiful environments, a plethora of different enemies and cool puzzles. Afterwards you can even play the game with friends. The fun does get spoiled a bit by a less than ideal camera and clunky controls however. Still, it's a game that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.

    Rad Rodgers is with its 3/4 hours of gameplay a pretty sick game. In those hours you will face a hard challenge in a beautiful created world. The game feels repetitive sometimes, but for this price Rad Rodgers is worth picking up.

    WWE 2K26 improves the wrestling experience with more dynamic matches and smoother gameplay. The game offers new modes and content for wrestling fans. However, some of the storylines feel underwhelming, preventing the game from fully reaching its potential.

    First thing that comes to mind: hallelujah, it works. One of the best PlayStation Move games so far. A diverse collection of sports for both the elderly, children and everything in between. Want to have a fun night playing digital sports? Sports Champions 2 is your game.

    Goodbye Deponia turned out to be the weakest entry in the series. The story feels a bit messy and the ending isn't really that satisfying. The puzzles are challenging though and it's still one of the most humourus games out there.

    Your first moments on Mars might be filled with doubt and confusion. But when you see through the dust storm and see the possibilities of Surviving Mars you will stick around for many hours to come.

    The Crew 2 is a big, big racing game. The enormous playground based on the U.S. has a lot to offer and is fun to play in with friends, but unfortunately there is too much wrong with some essential elements to make it a definite must-have.

    The Blob 2 will show how you can change a grey world into a world full of color. It is awesome to see how you actions affect the world. But after playing the game once and for several hours, you will see that it is in need of more variation in gameplay.

    Four years ago this game was a reason to buy a Wii U. The latest version of the game finally adds co-op to the game, but has some technical difficulties and bugs that diminish the overall fun of the game.

    This game mixes Role Playing Game elements with a puzzle game in a nice way. The difficulty increases nicely and overall the game plays well. The biggest flaw the game has is the graphics.

    Yet again Blizzard brings us an great expansion with a great deal of content. The game brings a few major changes, and while some of them are great additions to the game, a few are disappointments to fans. Despite that Mists of Pandaria is a must-have add-on for every World of Warcraft gamer.
