    Zombi is still a sweet game, which surely gives you a hell of a scary time. This version misses a few features like the multplayer mode and Ubisoft didn't really brush it up graphically. Still Zombi is a game worth playing.

    Mandragora is an interesting Metroidvania Soulslike that uses a skill tree to switch gameplay up. Some bugs and repetitive bosses sometimes dampen the experience, but the excellent gameplay is worth exploring.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns is an okay game but could've been a lot better. The game is filled with boring tasks and side missions and the main character doesn't have much of a personality or many emotions. The game would've been a lot better if the developers didn't include all the RPG aspects. However, Firaxis is clearly still great at making strategy games, because the strategic missions are the best part of this game. The storyline is great and It's cool to see the other heroes together.

    Road to Boruto is a nice piece of content, although it is short. It offers a new bit of story, a few new characters and some outfits. Unfortunately, it is a bit short and a bit too expensive for what you get.

    Planets Under Attack has become a really enjoyable game. The concept the game introduces is fun, but can become a little repetitive. The story mode has some points of critique, but the skirmish mode on the other hand is a real joy. Try to play the game with one of your friends, because that way you will get the full experience out of the game.

    Kinect Adventures is a great introduction to Kinect. Don't think it's an easy start, because you have to work and sweat, otherwise you are doing something terribly wrong!

    TurnOn is a simple and rustique game which forces us to slow down and look at differently at our world. A pity the game at the same time forces fast-paced levels and contains some bugs and glitches. Serenity will be found, even though briefly.

    Watch Dogs Legion promises a futuristic London, where you can play as everybody. Unfortunately, it has a lot of flaws that should be perfected in an already delayed game.

    By using the four elements you have to transit from one level to the other. This makes the game quite challenging, but also a bit repetitive. The beautiful soundtrack of the game saves the day.

    Aviation Empire is an addictive simulation game. Without you realising it, you will have spent hours and hours on airfields. The controls on the mobile don’t use their full potential, which is a shame for a good game.

    Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is a pretty good RPG for the Wii. It takes many elements from the previous Symphonia game, but there are some flaws. It also feels like this game isn't a direct sequel to the previous game. However if you are a real ToS-fan, you can add one point to the score.

    The Vita version of Epic Mickey 2 is a good game. The absence of online multiplayer is a huge loss though.

    Job Simulator is a really fun game that shows off 4 typical human jobs in a year 2050 setting. Fulfilling assignments is satisfying however the game is guiding you way too much to keep it interesting. But the humor keeps you attached and going.

    Samurai Warriors 4: Empires is a good step in the right direction, with a lot more depth and strategics thanks to the Politics Phase. But the gameplay itself is still the same compared to the original and the graphics have not improved either.

    Onslaught is a solid but recognizable DLC, that feels awkwardly familiar. Although three of the four new maps are new, all feel like you played on them before. Nightfall on the other hand is a pleasant surprise and adds new content to the Extinction mode.

    Tumble VR builds on the surprisingly good game Tumble on the PS3. With 70 very diverse puzzles with increasing skill levels the game is far from dull. The VR adds an other dimension and will keep young and old busy for a while.

    Action Henk is a fun, quick game and easy to control, but difficult to master precisely. It reminds us of Trials, with a good but frustrating trial and error system. However, after a while you'll get tired of Henk for a day or two.

    Maiden of Black Water is a good addition to the small lineup of horror games on the Wii U. The creepy, disturbing atmosphere and gamepad controls are great, but the outdated design and sometimes disappointing graphics don't make this a classic.

    This is a game full of potential successes. Unfortunately it lacks atmosphere and features a few annoying elements. Still it is worth a try because of all the options and the changing storylines it offers, but not at full price.

    Puyo Puyo Tetris has a bunch of different modes, but you cannot play the classic Tetris game. You can enjoy this game with 4 players, online and offline. Puyo Puyo Tetris is a game you can pick up very easily.

    Truth be told, no one really asked for a PC-version of Velocity Ultra, since it offers a typical handheld experience. Even the game seems to acknowledge this, because it automatically directs you to controller buttons. And yet, when you manage to 'click' with Velocity Ultra, it's quite hard to put it down.

    The great combination of real-time history, action, fantasy and strategy form a fast playing game with chaotic battles, which sometimes lack persuasion by cut scenes.

    Bejeweled 3 is a good puzzle game with a lot of different modes. But it is very expensive for the amount of content you'll receive!

    Ultra Street Fighter IV is finally available, but not without bugs. These break up a part of the fun in the game, but still it is a game you will love. Too bad it doesn't offer any reason for Ultra players to buy this version.

    Star Ocean 5 had the potential to be a great game, but the game feels only average now. The characters are interesting and look great, but the world itself feels empty. Combat looks great as well, but your team's AI is terrible sometimes. An 'OK' JRPG.

    One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 is a fun game for the fans of the franchise. The fun is mostly found in the story mode, but the extra modes become repetitive very quickly.

    This game is a decent platform puzzle game for the Wii U. However it's shame that the game doesn't really use the new possibilities from the Wii U.

    Conduit 2 is like a typical B-movie: action, action and even more action. Sometimes the events try to be very spectaculair but somehow it never seems to grab you by the throat. That doesn't matter though, because Conduit 2 is a decent game.

    The Escapists is an entertaining and challenging game, but the constant recon gets a bit boring after a while. Additionally, it had a few annoying bugs.

    Lips Number One Hits is a welcome expansion. It offers new gameplay features, unlockable avatar awards and more. There are some bad aspects, like the reception of the microphones, but McHammer was right: "Can't Thouch This!"
