    Book of Spells gives us the first opportunity to play with Sony's new Wonderbook. Although the game has its flaws it surely proves that the book works excellently as a controller. That's why we can't wait to see what other titles might be coming.

    Just Dance came to the Switch but did not improve on many things. Still, there is a new mode and an exclusive song in this version. A portable mode is possible thanks to the Switch's capabilities that make the game great for outdoors or parties elsewhere.

    The Last Tinker is a joyous platformer inspired by classics such as Jak and Daxter and Banjo Kazooie. The game is very colourful and it sometimes feels kind of childish, because of the easy levels with no challenge at all.

    Republique is a stealth game that delivers a strong overall story, while delivering a unique gameplay experience. You explore the game through the lens of a camera, which is a lot of fun despite the flaws the game has.

    Shu
    Shu is a game with a simple but strong core. Unfortunately the extra features often don't do anything or don't work properly. Although the game looks great, its story is very short and the controls suffer from some frustrating bugs. Your money could be better spent on other games.

    A remake of a remake, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded proves that it is almost impossible to do. The visuals and the artificial intelligence are extremely disappointing. The nostalgic multiplayer is one of the highlights, but you have to expect more from a game that carries the name 'GoldenEye'.

    Assassin's Creed brings us the first big DLC. Jack the Ripper is in town and chaos arises. An interesting story to say the least.

    Although the graphics are outdated, it is still a game to enjoy. People who play the CoD-games a lot, but never played the first part on the PC, now have the chance to play this first Call of Duty game.

    Although the price is way too high for a game such as this, Smart As is a fun and diverse workout for your brain.

    A cherry on top of the cake that is 25 years of Need for Sped, or yet another 'what could have been'? Need for Speed Heat has the potential te be everything that anyone can ever ask from a Need for Speed-title, yet it makes several strange choices that do not benefit the game. Racing is fun as always, the story is poor and customizing cars makes up for a lot. But a title that celebrates 25 years of Need for Speed? No, not by a long shot.

    While more of RoboCop: Rogue City is definitely welcome, this stand alone follow-up cannot reach the same heights as the original. Mostly confined to the corridors of the Omnitower, it lacks the finesse of roaming the streets of Old Detroit. Exchanging the joys of ticketing an ill-parked car for a splatterfest, Unfinished Business resembles a continuous shooting range a bit too much.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 is a great game, ruined by technical shortcomings and bad controls. The first can be fixed, but the second is tough to improve.

    Heavy Rain is still a great game and a must for PlayStation 3 owners. But don't use the Move support, because the classic PlayStation 3 controller works best.

    It's fun to keep killing zombies but the 'big package' is not so impressing. The main game itself however is fun and it's good to have Frank back.

    Are you ready to rumble? The Karate Kid Street Rumble is a decent beat 'em up game with a coop function up to four players. This is how you are going to be a real karate kid.

    Pokémon Scarlet & Violet takes the next step for the franchise thanks to the lush open world. Even the new Terastallizing mechanic is great fun, although it is kinda a reskin of an earlier mechanic. Amazing music and some smart design choices make it a game you can't miss. At least, that is what we would've said if the performance wasn't as bad as it is.

    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.

    You can go through these forty levels very fast, because they'll only take 10 seconds to finish. You must improve your play, because you need to score stars to continue. The gameplay is pretty simple, the storyline is too much, but it is actually an addictive little game waiting for you.

    Harley Quinn's Revenge offers more of the same and that is what we wanted after the original single-player story was over. On the other hand, there is nothing that will keep you coming back after you finish the short story. Harley Quinn's Revenge is a good reason to boot up Arkham City once more, but keep your expectations on the low.

    The Battletoads are back from the dead. With an all-new graphics scheme and cool new features the brawler lets you take the role of Zitz, Pimple, and Rash once again. The game offers over the top chaotic fights for up to three players. Next to that Battletoads honors, it's rooted by bringing in elements from other genres, like platformers and shmups. The humor is hilarious, but unfortunately, there are also a few weaker elements in the game that cramp its style.

    Race Injection offers a ton of circuits and even more cars, making sure that the replay value is very good. It is a shame though that the graphics are outdated and the technical aspects aren't great.

    Is The Splatters a good game? On a certain level: yes. It feels great to fire creepily laughing slimeblogs. The difficulty however leads to an incredibly tedious gameplay experience. Simply said, this game is not suited for everyone. You're warned.

    Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is surely not a perfect game but deserves your attention. If you take good care of your ingame friends, then you will experience a great adventure that will take you about 25 hours to complete.

    The first episode of The Walking Dead Final Season is here. A.J. is all grown up when he and Clementine find a new group. They have to slay zombies while they try to find a place to live.

    Overlord II is an entertaining game for everyone who wants to play something different. Graphically Overlord II is such a strong game that you almost start to believe you're in the middle of a a fairytale, which is of course a good thing. The controls work great, there's plenty to do and the game contains a lot of humour.

    It's sad to see that Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga hasn't become a good game. The graphics may look nice but in the end the gameplay will leave you disappointed.

    Yet another Layton game. This game with new characters like Lady Layton plays exactly like you expect it from a Layton game. It is very humorous, got awesome puzzles and there are a lot of new cases to explore. It just misses an overwhelming story.

    Battlefield Hardline is the worst Battlefield game to date. Its story is very predictable and lacks excitement. Arresting criminals gets boring and Visceral made some mistakes in the visuals and multiplayer as well.

    The Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a must-play for any old school gamer, especially with two or three other people. Don't expect any licensed games, fancy options or a great online experience though.

    SpongeBob's renewed adventure is the return of an iconic platformer we all once embraced. The game looks good and refers to a lot of hilarious situations from the cartoons. You simply can't help to smile a lot during the game, but the controls are not nearly as good. They are barely touched and feel outdated which makes the game less good than an average patty.
