    Even though we appreciate the attempt to bring new life to the turn-based strategy genre, Battle Worlds: Kronos has proven not the be the best way to do it. A true fan would still be able to get a lot of fun out of this game, but the predictive A.I. and boring missions won't attract any new players.

    Swarm is a game with a nice concept, which unfortunately isn't properly elaborated in the gameplay. Before you spend thirteen bucks, check if you have enough patience to play the same level over and over again.

    This is the Etherborn review. A difficult but unique puzzle game. But is it worth it?

    Little Nightmares 3 delivers a thrilling new chapter in the eerie universe of The Nowhere. The game feels fresh yet familiar, plays smoothly, and keeps you on the edge of your seat with tense, unsettling moments. Local co-op is missing and some objectives are unclear, but the chilling new nightmares more than make up for it.

    Transport Fever is a great simulation game. It feels like a real challenge and all the transport history looks incredible. The world itself could use some polishing to feel more like a living world and time could be slowed down a bit. The music though!

    Pilotwings Resort really takes its benefits from the 3D capacities. Because of seeing more depth, you are actually better be able to fly and land. Unfortunately it won't take long to finish the game, but it's really good.

    Despite the high price it's a funny little game to play! You can pick it up any time and play it with a friend, something that wasn't possible in the original Fruit Ninja game.

    This game is unique, unbelievable big and extremely well made. Although the game is good, it must be said that it is not a game for everyone. If you enjoy a storyline that leads you step by step, then this game is not for you.

    Blades of Fire combines and enriches the Soulslike and RPG formulas with some new ideas and mechanics that are both welcome and frustrating. While the game looks great and diverse, the gameplay doesn't always work out as well.

    Detective Pikachu had a lot of potential, but failed to deliver an awesome Pokémon experience. This game might be enjoyable if you are searching for a short game meant for the younger players. Otherwise this game is way too simplistic.

    JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle is a nice game full of action and great battles. The colorful and cartoonish design adds to the game play experience. Sadly enough, the story is quite difficult to follow if you are new to the franchise.

    Kings Quest chapter 2 delivers a wonderful and exciting story. Unfortunately the puzzles aren't as exciting as they used to be and it still contains a lot of backtracking. Nonetheless Kings Quest remains a cool adventure game.

    Creating rollercoasters is fun and easy, but the game lacks depth and diversity. The lack of a themepark to place your creations in is a missed chance, especially because the Demolition mode is quite disappointing.

    Knowledge is Power is the best implementation of Playlink so far. The quiz is silly and fun, making it an ideal candidate for family game night.

    The Diofield Chronicle is a refreshing take on the tactical battle game where positioning is key. The game offers a wide variety of missions, enemies and teammates, but is slightly let down by a level design that doesn't fully explore the tactical possibilities and a control scheme that doesn't always get the job done. Still, the game has plenty to offer to keep you interested during its 40-some hour campaign.

    Miitopia on Switch is a remaster of the 3DS original. Sadly, it still brings the same tedious gameplay with little (need to) interaction during fights. Main eyecatchers are the extensive use of Mii for every role in the game and focus on building relationships between them. The use of these relationships in fights has great potential but isn't able to shine.

    Sherlock Holmes: The Devils Daughter is another step closer to a really good Holmes game. It's a really enjoyable game with a lot of improvements. Still the graphics are not up to date and the voice acting is really not good.

    Ridger Racer is back and manages to impress with some great gameplay and a brilliant soundtrack. The City Creator is bigger then ever, yet is only at its best when you've finished the game. The tons of new possibilities are great but they make the game a bit cluttered, giving you the feeling that you aren't accomplishing much. The multiplayer has also been expanded and will keep you entertained for many hours to come.

    BUTCHER is a fast-paced, bloody shootfest which gives you a run for your money. You die easily but keep playing because the game is so much fun. A must-buy for those who like a challenge.

    While Ruffy and the Riverside has a very fun mechanic at its core, the overall experience is a little underbaked due to poor combat, boss battles, and some technical flaws.

    Despite its shortcomings, Bionic Commando has become a nice game. Swinging from building to building in a destroyed Ascension City is a nice experience, and the vast amount of cool action make up for most flaws in the game.

    After a long early acces Ark Surival Evolved became a gigantic game in terms of content. Hundreds of hours will be spend building bases, taming dinos en making new friends (or enemies). However fun it all seems, technical issues will impact your experiences.

    Crackdown 2 innovates little over it's predecessor but allows the player to have fun for many hours. Stimulate your superpowers, bash some Freak Skulls and clean up the streets of Pacific City in order to become the perfect super-cop!

    This expansion brings frequent loading times, a horrible framerate and slow gameplay. Moreover, where are the horses, snakes and birds? Thankfully the dogs and cats happen to be extremely cute.

    Earthworm Jim is not the superhero we used to adore as a child any more. This remake has almost nothing new to offer and is not innovative enough to bring Earthworm Jim back to his former glory.

    Why is this game not available for consoles? It's so much fun! Good combination of puzzles, humor and nice levels.

    Although it is fun to hack and slash things on the go, the paper thin storyline and bland quests make this game difficult to recommend. Fans might enjoy the character interactions, but if you're looking for that, there are plenty of other and better games on the Vita.

    The choices you made in Telltale Guardians of the Galaxy are finally making an impact on the galaxy and features a great action sequence. It's a shame the episode is pestered with technical problems, which has its effect on the way you play.

    Virtua Tennis doesn't take itself so seriously and that's great because gaming should be all about fun. The Kinect and Move support is pretty lame so it's best to stick with the classic controllers.
