    The latest LEGO game just might be the best one in the series. One of the only things that we're missing in this comical game is an online co-op. Apart from that, there are a lot of puzzles that will keep you entertained for days to come.

    This Sims expansion offers a lot of content: relaxing, resort managing, a new world and so on. A nice opportunity to pamper your Sims.

    World to the West is an adventure game is the same world of Teslagrad. Is does not come near the quality of that game though. It is best to look at Word to the West as a completely new game that is more similar to Zelda. World to the West is a decent game.

    Return to Arkham contains two fantastic games, with a visual upgrade. Both games are still fantastic, but Asylum has lost some of it's charm. Also both games suffer from occasional framedrops, but nothing drastic. So this is definitely worth your money!

    Telltale Batman keeps getting better with every episode. The choices you can make give the game it's power. The fighting scenes are good, though some more freedom is something that can be implemented.

    It is lovely, cutesy and a bit childish, but we do not care. Level-5 has got us hooked on Fantasy Life. We love the unexpected situations, the sweet life in Reveria and the combination of talking, fighting and playing mini-games is tons of fun.

    Never Alone is a fantastic game which offers insight in the Alaskan culture and folklore. The game has a very nice style and enjoyable gameplay, however it is very short. Still this is a must buy for anyone.

    HarmoKnight is not attractive because of its repetitiveness. All with all it feels like a game on the wrong device.

    The game combines some of the core aspects of its predecessors, but fails to deliver a complete and exciting experience. It lacks content and variation and gets old quick in comparison to other recent race games.

    A game that makes you challenge your creativity, but still has many limits. Because of that Scribblenauts Unlimited gets quite boring after a while. Still, with all the possibilities it offers a lot for a Wii U game.

    Elder Scrolls Online Greymoor is the next chapter in the impressive MMO. The new story is dark, which is strengthened by the cold province of Skyrim and the impressive Dwemer kingdom of Blackreach. It might not feature a new class or skill line, but the new Vampire skill line and the Antiquities system make it worth your while. Add the challenging harrowstorms, new dungeons and the Trial and it's a strong package that we can highly recommend to every ESO player.

    If you're a fan of fighting games, you will absolutely love BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend. It has a ton of modes, it looks beautiful and it even has a good storyline. However, the lack of content is what will stop people who have played the previous games, from buying this one.

    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.

    Kirby Star Allies is Kirby's debut for the Nintendo Switch. The games focuses mainly on its four player co-op mechanic, but is also perfectly playable for just one player.

    Loads of blood and body parts are flying around from the beginning until the end of the game. Despite the errors, the game looks very decent and plays fine. Before you know it, you're playing for hours and don't want to stop. This game is a must have for every action gamer!

    The Crew came out almost a year ago. Time to blow some new stuff our direction with The Crew Wild Run, It's better, more beautiful and brings a lot of extra options. But are you willing to pay for it?

    The TakeOver gets its inspiration from the grandmaster Streets of Rage and does this well. The fighting is smooth and there are a lot of options to make combos. Next to that, the game has a few original features like guns that add to the variation. Despite the lack of an online co-op mode, this is a game you simply have to play. It is almost unbelievable all this came from the brain of one man!

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a nice superhero game which, despite the flaws in graphics and audio, still get's a good score because of the great gameplay and replay value.

    The Escapists 2 certainly isn’t a bad game. The best way to play the game is with a Switch. It looks phenomenal and the controls are good. Although the game has a lot of ‘downtime’ and can be boring at times the whole idea is great, even more in co-op.

    MotoGP is a very convincing, good game. Racing feels awesome, the game is super detailed and very challenging. It might be too challenging though, plus the fact that motor racing is not for every gamer. Props for the licensing, because it is great to race with the actual racers instead of John Does.

    The Legend of Zelda Tri Force Heroes takes an original concept and takes it everywhere you want it to go. There is plenty of fun for three players, but the experiences takes a hit when you go at it alone. Recommended for all 3DS owners.

    Arcana Heart 3 is a good fighting game when you don't look at the low-res graphics. The combat system is quite elaborate and with the big amount of different combinations in a fight, Arcana Heart 3 is a must-buy for every fan of the 2D fighting genre.

    When Vikings Attack! is a fun game at first but gets repetitive very quickly. It is a fun snack in a holiday season dominated by triple A games. Nothing more though.

    It seems Telltale is leaning on former glory by releasing as many games as they can. This does affect the quality of their games, as is unfortunately shown in The Walking Dead Michionne. Quantity over quality, in this case.

    Mother Russia Bleeds is a great game. It is brutal and takes you back to the days where beat 'em ups ruled the market. Still the game lacks a combo system and there are some annoyances. But in the co-op mode it makes up for all of that.

    Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is not the game for you if you want bombastic graphics. But if you want to shoot enemies online from great distances with a friend, this is the game to play. The game is a bit short and has a few flaws, but the fun is there.

    While the story is still its strongest selling point, The game doesn't quite feel at home on the Switch five years after it's original release. With framedrops, technical limitations and game breaking bugs, this is the least polished version available.

    If you’re looking for an addictive co-op game, don’t hesitate to buy Strange Brigade! This game is very cool, from beginning to end. Nevertheless, if you want to play alone it can be much less enjoyable. Its best played with a group of friends, then you’ll have a grin from ear to ear.

    A re-release for Switch 2 that is full of puzzling content, but adds little to the original game. If you've never played a Puy Puyo Tetris, this is an excellent game that will keep you entertained for many hours. If you already own the original, this Switch 2 release adds too little to warrant double dipping.

    Bury Me My Love offers some nice art and a good, realistic story with some technical problems. It locks up sometimes but if you can forgive it's flaws there is much enjoyment to be had. Mostly because of how relevant the story is in this day and age.
