    This is the perfect game for kids right now. The camera position isn't always working well but overall it is really a fun game. It will bring a smile to children's faces.

    F1 2015 brings racing gameplay to a new level. Handling is close to perfection with lots of stuff to customize. Howerever, there aren't as many game modes as you would hope.

    Marvel Pinball is a surprisingly good expansion that adds some of Marvels most iconic superheroes to an already good game. It's a shame that some of the level bosses aren't impressive. Just like the original Pinball FX2 game, this expansion is meant for people that don't mind breaking their own highscores over and over again.

    The newest entry in the Paper Mario series is an enjoyable game that looks and plays amazing, but it does have a few flaws. The lack of a experience system made us skip battles, and when you get stuck there is no hint system to help you out. This doesn't mean that Sticker Star is a bad game, it's just not what you may have hoped for from a new Paper Mario game.

    V-Rally 4 offers wonderful design tracks and delivers some intense races. Unfortunately there is a limited amount of modes and the campaign isn't worth your time.

    Pid
    Pid can best be described as a typical indie game: it offers a unique world, interesting audio-visual presentation and great platform gameplay with a twist. The gameplay does have some shortcomings, but overall it's a fun game.

    Back to Karkand is a good expansion on the existing foundation of Battlefield 3's multiplayer. In its essence, it doesn't do anything new, but why change something that's already pretty damn good?

    LEGO Batman 2 is on Wii U the same amazing game as on the other platforms. The Wii U version doesn't do anything that different, making this version a late port rather than a reason to pick this game up again.

    Spec Ops: The Line has a great story and manages to show a gruesome, yet beautifully destroyed Dubai. It's just a shame that the moving sand is all scripted and that the campaign doesn't last for more than 6 hours.

    The newest edition in the Let's Sing series brings 30 new songs to sing along to. The songs consist of several current stars and golden oldies. With the use of either a microphone or mobile phone, the setup is a breeze, and access to the songs and game modes is easy. All in all an accessible party game that could have benefitted from having access to the content of the previous editions.

    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a fun puzzle adventure for Wii U. Levels are creatively made and there are enough reasons to play them again. The puzzles are quite short and not that difficult, though.

    Disney Illusion Island is an entertaining game, whether you play alone or with up to four friends. The platforming action is smooth and flawless from the start and you don't even miss defeating enemies. The only cons here are the small screen of the Switch and the little flaws in the co-op mode.

    One thing New Little King's Story does is offer diversity to the catalogue of the PlayStation Vita. The adventures of Corobo are fun, and the game is solid, it is addictive. Not a home run, but a very respectable title nonetheless.

    Remnant II takes the shooting souls-like core of the original game, and builds upon it on almost all fronts. From building your perfect build by mixing archetypes, to exploring the diverse selection of beautifully crafted worlds, Remnant II gives you plenty of secrets to discover. The gunplay also feels really solid, although the overall experience does get hurt by a fluctuating difficulty and a scarcity of weapons for a FPS souls like, especially in the early game.

    Hybrid is a nice multiplayer game for the Xbox Live Arcade. There's a war between the Variants and the Paladins. It's up to you to fight with one of them and to beat the other. Unfortunately the game doesn't have a single player.

    Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart was already a beautiful game on the PlayStation 5 and Nixxes Software managed to improve it on PC. The game looks absolutely astonishing and fluid, as if you are walking an Pixar movie. And not only can you enjoy the interdimensional adventure with a controller, the controls for mouse and keyboard are really well implemented. It's just a shame that the PC port has problems with certain hardware combinations.

    Virtua Tennis 2009 is actually sort of a copy of Virtua Tennis 3 with some little improvements. But a game doesn't always have to be revolutionary to be a good and very entertaining, like Virtua Tennis 2009.

    One Piece-fans will love this game as it is funny, works flawless and has an interesting co-op mode. People who are not as familiar with it, will probably frown upon all the crazy characters, but please don't let that scare you away, cause this game is fun.

    Dive: The Medes Islands Secret let's you swim around in the most beautiful oceans. The game doesn't cost much and that is the only reason why the lack of variety isn't as annoying as it normally should be.

    Eternal Strands, the first release from the new studio Yellow Brick Games, features new ideas mixed with the best practices from other genres. Not everything works as planned, but the interaction between environments, weather and magical powers allow for creative gameplay.

    Although Band Hero is not a bad game, it misses lots of new possibility's. Don't expect a new game, it's more of a Guitar Hero Light.

    Dragon Ball Fusions feels like a very good start to a nice spinoff. It looks great, offers fan service and of course a huge amount of fights. The game focuses on humour though. It gets repetitive after a while.

    Star Ocean: The Last Hope offers you an interesting story. Furthermore you can definitely spend al lot of hours with this colourful game.

    The newest addition to the Minecraft Story mode Episodes has a good storyline that visits a lot of exiting and different places. Unfortunately the Episode fails to deliver in terms of length and character development.

    Dust: An Elysian Tail has a great story and mixes it up with beautiful locations to create a modern fairy tale. It's just a shame that the game is too easy and the loading screens seem to take forever.

    Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is definitely worth the 15 euros. The story line, side-missions and Achievements/Trophies will keep you busy for a good 15 hours or so. Rabbit Ash might not be very innocent, despite that, he's the crazy awesome superstar of Hell Yeah!

    Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition captures what makes the original game great, however, it also constantly reminds us that it isn't as great as its older brother. All the upgrades can't hide that the game is outdated, but it's still extremely addictive and fun to play.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a Breath of the Wild prequel that offers some of the best Warriors gameplay we have seen so far. However, the game is not flawless as it suffers from some frustrating controls and framerate issues. However, if you are willing to look past that, enormous fun and adrenaline-driven experience remain.

    Ancients of Ooga gives a unique twist to the platform genre but loses a lot of it's magic due to it's repetitive gameplay. The co-op is a let-down but this shouldn't stop platform fans from buying the game.
