Platformines surprises. The quick gameplay is fun, the enemies in their particular parts of the map are challenging and the open world gives you the freedom to take whatever way you want to go. Platformines is far from a perfect game, but it deserves a chance as it delivers more then you might expect.- XGN

MotoGP 18 is the latest installment of Milestones motorcycle game series. Although the transition to the Unreal Engine 4 brings a lot of improvement, the other side of the coin is that you can't shake the thought that it could have been much more.- XGN

Tales of the Abyss is not a great remake because of the poor 3D effect, but it's still a pretty decent RPG. The deep story, interesting characters and great combat system make it worthwhile, though the annoying character Luke and necessary grinding might wear you down.- XGN

Shrek Forever After has become an amusing game after all. The game is too short and won't leave much of an impact, causing you to forget about it almost instantly.- XGN

This game looks amazing, thanks to the beautiful artwork. It also offers a nice experience with the tale of a blind girl searching for a red cat. However, it's all a bit too simple.- XGN

Mafia 3 feels like an unfinished product. It has a bunch of potential, but fails to deliver. Mafia 3 simply cannot live up to the hype. Unfortunately, the good does not outweigh the bad.- XGN

EA Sports FC 26 delivers on a lot of promises made by EA Sports. Gameplay in particular has seen some much needed improvements and feels a lot better than its predecessors, but there is still a lot of work to be done. The various modes get a lot of new features, but it remains disappointing that pay-to-win is still a big part of the beloved Ultimate Team mode.- XGN

Even though the demo is pretty disappointing, the full Killer Instinct proves to be a really nice addiction to the fighting genre. Most of the characters come directly from the first Killer Instinct-game, but this time they look really gorgeous on the new Xbox One. The fighting system of Killer Instinct is a very layered one, which will keep you busy for loads of hours although a campaign mode is definitely missed.- XGN

WarioWare: Move It! is a great icebreaker for everyone, regardless of experience level.The game guarantees a unique experience with friends or family every time when played in multiplayer mode. Let go of your guilt and groove to Wario Inc.'s sounds and styles.- XGN

Despite the lack of decent environments, Invizimals: The Alliance compensates with a great gameplay and fun, and is a lot better than the PlayStation 3 version.- XGN

Homefront doesn't live up to the hype and suffers from a short campaign that will only entertain you for four hours. The graphics aren't great and the many glitches don't help either. Homefront's best points are its multiplayer and its brilliant vibe.- XGN

Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition is a very cool bundle, consisting of: the game, Save Churchill DLC, multiplayer maps and more. Worth it if you haven't bought Sniper Elite 3 yet.- XGN

This upgraded edition features sharp 4K visuals and makes smart use of Switch 2 hardware like the camera and Joy-Con 2. New modes such as Bowser Live and Carnival Coaster are fun but feel more like tech demos due to their lack of depth. The core Mario Party gameplay is still strong, with new team-based and chaos-driven rule sets adding variety. It's a great choice for newcomers, but returning players may find limited value without full hardware support.- XGN

Pressure has become a small but entertaining game, that brings you back to the good old years that you spent in the arcade halls. The gameplay is simple and fast-paced, and thanks to the steampunk graphics it's also enjoyable to watch. The levels are short, so you can take a break whenever you want. The game is a bit short in length overall, but still you can have a lot of fun in your big journey for water.- XGN

Pirate Warriors offers a decent summary of the story for newcomers. Veterans will enjoy the enthusiasm the game is overflowing with. The shallow gameplay keeps the game from being great, however.- XGN

Agents of Mayhem is an over-the-top hero shooter with lots of agents to choose from. The game pays an homage to old cartoon series with weird enemies, cool cut-scenes and a lot of action. Sadly the game suffers from the common flaws of the open world genre.- XGN

For a free game there are allot of possibilities to be found, like the option to tweak your tank the way you like and to assembly your own crew. World of Tanks could and should have gone just that little bit deeper though. The real tank fanatic will be able to look past this and will love the mixture between a tank simulator and harsh, shooting action.- XGN

Behind the boring and average title, there is actually a surprisingly deep shooter. The new way of voting on a map and the different ways the game encourages you to work together with your team are refreshing and smart. There is a lot to unlock, but Special Forces: Team X is bad at showing what you just unlocked, which makes it hard to find new gear.- XGN

Tower of Guns is a tribute to the cakewalk. The deadly tower, Tower of Guns' playground, is full of booby traps and weird enemies that change every time you start the game. Unfortunately after a few hours, the game isn't that challenging anymore.- XGN

The game approaches the realism of motorsports in general, and the nasty weathe-visuals in the game look good. Overall though, the graphics are not that great and the game doesn't show much improvement over earlier games.- XGN

Where Legends: Arceus focused on collecting, Legends: Z-A does the same for the combat system. Complemented by a fantastic soundtrack and a wealth of customization options, you're completely free to choose your own path in Lumiose City. Except for the slow opening hours, where the story requires patience before you can truly explore Lumiose City to your heart's content.- XGN

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is a first class golfing game but lacks innovation and major improvements. EA Tiburon could have done a better job on this one.- XGN

Dead to Rights: Retribution is a mediocre game. It has good points, it has bad points, but it never comes up with something special. It's a fun game to play, but just for once and never again.- XGN

SEGA 3D Classics Collection is an enjoyable bundle of games. But nothing more than that. The title is probably the most fun to play for the people most nostalgic about SEGA.- XGN

NBA Jam meets most of its expectations.The game is very entertaining however it must be said that this should have been a downloadable game. The game just doesn't feel like a full retail game but remains amusing nonetheless.- XGN

This remake still has some of the problems the original game had, but all in all it's nice fighting game that leaves all competitors behind. The addition of three new characters and improved graphics are also very nice.- XGN

Dawnguard is the ideal add-on for those who still haven't satisfied their need for Skyrim. Those who seek innovation, will be disappointed however. Dawnguard is simply more of the same, plus a clumsy Vampire Lord transformation.- XGN

LEGO Rock Band has become a decent game which is especially meant for children. You can expect another tracklist then usual. The LEGO style is nice to look at for a while, but adults can better choose another music game to play.- XGN
