    We Were Here Too has some nice puzzles which definitely pushes you and your friend to the limits. It just feels almost like you are in a real escape room. However, the game lacks user feedback and has no replay value. Be prepared.

    Demon Slayer is true to its source material, closely following the initial story arc and Mugen Train. The single-player story is short and never really taxes the player. The areas in between fights aren't inviting to explore as movement is slow and tasks obligatory. The roster of characters for online fights is small and partly locked behind the single-player storyline. In multiplayer, the fighting system blossoms, but it would have been great if the range of abilities was better used throughout the game.

    A very nice game which is not so original, but still offers a nice variation to Temple Run. It looks and feels familiar and doesn't contain a pay-to-win formula.

    Section 8 lacks a finishing touch; the game doesn't shine graphically and has a weak story. However there are plenty of multi-player modes available and the sound is just fine. So Section 8 is a decent game, but only for a much lower price.

    Fusion: Genesis doesn't invite players to play. If you're willing to come over by yourself and invest a little time and effort in this game, it has a lot to offer. A tutorial may be the answer to a broader audience. Now only the few who persist will get a great game with an even greater universe.

    The Devil in Me is a worthy final chapter in this season of The Anthology. It provides a believable, interesting story that carefully builds tension, but also provides space to build out the releations between the team members. The game is firmly rooted in a classic horror story of a team trapped in a remote location and an all-powerful, manipulative enemy, but the execution really delivers.

    The puzzles in Murasaki Baby are very diverse, but do not expect too much hours of gameplay. Within a short 2,5 hours you will finish Murasaki Baby, but boy is it a sweet 2.5 hours… This is something you have never encountered ever before.

    Even though the Isle of Armor reintroduces 210 new Pokémon and provides a new and easier way to get certain items and upgrades, it's story is too short and not entertaining to really prove itself worthy. However you are a big Pokémon fan and just want to capture more of them, this DLC will probably to the job for you.

    Destiny 2: Lightfall hits a lot of great notes. The new subclass, Strand, is very cool to use and gives you a lot of new movement options. Neomuna is a true sight to behold and invites players to explore. The most important part of the expansion however is the campaign and even though it has a lot of amazing and cool moments, the story falls short. Lightfall offers up more questions while we should have been getting some answers.

    Battle vs. Chess is probably the most extensive chess game out there. There are a ton of modes and the animations of the fighting chess pieces are very nice. It's just a shame that the camera is positioned poorly and there really aren't that many people playing online.

    Guns, Gore and Cannoli is a very amusing co-op sidescroller. The game mixes zombies, gangsters, the roaring twenties and co-op to bring a truly amusing experience. This game guarantees co-op fun.

    Rogue Stormers is a mediocre game with endless hordes of enemies for you to take down. It finds its challenge in this aspect, but can be frustrating due to your limited health. Grinding will be necessary to continue playing Rogue Stormers.

    Episode 5 of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy, the final episode, is one of the weakest of the series. It moves too fast, leaves out too many details and feels kinda rushed overall. Even with an epic end fight, this can't save the episode.

    Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure hasn't done much in terms of innovation, but its classic, solid gameplay is still a joy to experience. Thanks to the relatively short levels, Miracle Cure is perfect to play during a break or while traveling.

    Sonic Frontiers is a bold new move for our favourite hedgehog. The open worlds give a sense of freedom and there is a lot to do. Unfortunately the most of it is the mandatory collecting of a lot of stuff to progress through the game. The controls feel good, but at higher speeds they won't always work and the camera is a total disaster. This makes the game way less enjoyable than it should be.

    Wet
    WET isn't really an original game. Several ingredients are taken from other good titles. Nevertheless, WET is amusing for a couple of hours and therefore it's just a good B-title.

    The Callisto Protocol clearly gets its inspiration from the older Dead Space games, thanks to co-creator Glenn Schofield being the director on the game. The survival-horror action is being presented very convincing here, with nice visuals and thrilling audio design. Sadly the gameplay is more of mixed bag, with a lot of ups and downs. Whilst not being perfect, Callisto Protocol nonetheless is a fun ride that every survival-horror fan should at least put on their radar.

    Captain Tusbasa can be fun when you grab some of your mates for an all out brawl on the pitch if the scoring mechanic wasn't so dumb. It takes away all of the tension of a match. Skip this one unless you're really keen to experience the so-so campaign for yourself.

    This game is fun to play with four people. However, you need a friend. You can't join random people online. It's a shame, but the gameplay itself is fun.

    High Voltage proved all its promises with The Conduit. The game has nice graphics and good gameplay, but most of all keeps things stretching till the very last moment. Need a great shooter for the Wii? Take a sprint to the shop right now!

    First thing that comes to mind: hallelujah, it works. One of the best PlayStation Move games so far. A diverse collection of sports for both the elderly, children and everything in between. Want to have a fun night playing digital sports? Sports Champions 2 is your game.

    Faith has put her running shoes back on and delivers a great free-running experience. The game looks fantastic and the gameplay is smooth. There are a few annoying things in the game like almost invisible glass, but still this is a game you should own.

    AO Tennis is simply the best tennis game we have seen in years. Although it looks not that great, it offers very solid gameplay and challenges. The game does not feel like an arcade game but challenges you with a strong AI. If only all the players were there.

    Star Fox Zero is a true Star Fox game, and a joy to play with the new and innovative controls. However the game is held back by the inconsistent graphics, the framerate and short game length.

    Magna Carta II is a lot better than it's predecessor. Still, it is a pity that the quality of some factors, like the voice acting, differs so much. Because of this the game hasn't become what it could have been.

    Shinobi might not have a huge hype around it, but that doesn't make it a bad game. It's a very challenging game that will be loved by everyone that is into platform games.

    The enormous amount of satisfaction gained by building parks equivalent to the real Jurassic Park deal, outweighs the few technical problems the game has.

    Q.U.B.E. is a true puzzle game that has great gameplay but you'll never really get motivated to reach the ending because of a lack of story. The game also has a few bugs and the darkest rooms feel like a lazy way to let you do the same puzzles over again. Still, if you're looking for a puzzle game with some nice graphics and at times very difficult puzzles, look no further.

    RIsen 2: Dark Waters looks amazing and lets you explore a massive world that feels very alive. The combat could have been better and some small errors can be annoying, but overall Risen 2 is better then its predecessor in basically every aspect.

    Episode 6 of the Minecraft Story Mode series holds up surprisingly well compared to the other released episodes. A refreshing episode which leaves us hoping the next two episodes will be equally as entertaining.
