    Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China tries to kill the competition and has some fantastic graphics and gameplay. But we are not sure if we can call it a complete Assassin’s Creed game for a console. An iOS or Android version would've been a better choice.

    State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition is a nice opportunity for gamers who haven't yet played the original. Unfortunately the game still suffers from small glitches and the graphics aren't great. Only recommended to the die-hard zombie fans out there.

    This is a sequel to the original Cyber Sleuth game, but it doesn't feel that way. The game offers a new 50+ hour story, a total of over 300 Digimon and a few new elements. But next to that it is exactly the same as the last Digimon game.

    Lost Sphear is a new game from Tokyo RPG Factory. It is decent but has some very old features and therefore 50 euros is way too much.

    Titan Souls knows exactly what it is: a love song to boss battles in video games, combined with a unique combat mechanism. A few frustrations and the short length however keep it from becoming pure greatness.

    Shadow of the Colossus gives you a fantastic scenario with impressive colossi that become very challenging later on in the game. Nevertheless, smooth gameplay still remains absent with this remake. The game can blow you away at times, but also makes you want to destroy your controller when it doesn’t deliver what you can expect from a good game these days.

    Earth Defense Force 4.1 is quite a disappointment given it's a remaster. A full-price release is far from ideal for this game and things like the mediocre framerate and graphics don't work in its favour either. But if you make the step to play Earth Defense Force 4.1 co-op with your friends, it makes for a fun-level not many games have been able to reach.

    Mini Ninjas Adventures feels just as Japanse and zen as its predecessor, but with totally different controls and gameplay. It works very well with Kinect, though it might cause some pain in your right arm for hitting too much with the sword. It's a cutesy family game that will bring hours of fun, but that's all it is.

    Mario Tennis Ultra Smash is a welcome addition to the Mario Tennis franchise. It's very fun and it looks amazing. Unfortunately, there's a huge lack of content.

    It is a bit disappointing to learn that the story is quite weak in this Final Fantasy game. If you compare it to other Final Fantasy titles you would expect a more thought out storyline. On the other hand, the new battle system is very good, but it cannot compensate for the lack of a good plot.

    Ancestors The Humankind Odyssey is a unique game. You must guide your clan through time and evolution, which is fun with lots of experimentation. There's also a lot of frustration to be had however. Still, the game offers a special experience.

    This new DLC offers 30 new missions for a good price. People who are having trouble to control Raiden will have a hard time with the missions. It’s challenging, but its good and we want to keep trying.

    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.

    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.

    Obsidian managed to hold on to their unique brand of humor throughout The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos, with the expected gags about capitalism and the value of human life. The story was fun and engaging, even though the mystery wasn't quite as mysterious as we had hoped.

    Risen 3: Titan Lords Enhanced Edition is fun, but that's about it. If you're still hooked on a game like The Witcher 3, leave this one alone. If you're looking for a new RPG experience however, give it a go.

    With Need for Speed Nitro EA proves it can deliver a good arcade race game. However if you are a die hard racefan, you can forget this game. It isn't a Ferrari but you may proudly call it a Volkswagen.

    Crimson Shroud is one for the hardened RPG players. The fighting system is good and the story is quite interesting, but sometimes hard to grasp. Add a great fighting system to it and you have a RPG you can enjoy for a long time.

    Cars 3 Driven to Win is a good arcade racer which ties in with the movie. There is more than enough to do, but you'll miss just as much. The Battle Arena is gone and there is a lot of distraction on the tracks. It's a fun game, but no more than that.

    Gas Guzzlers Extreme is an action-packed, fast paced racing game with insane combat features. The game features a variety of cars, from humble superminis, to full on giant yank tanks! The player starts with a low performance vehicle and gradually works their way up by earning money through a series of uniquely challenging races.

    Kirby's Blowout Blast is a very cool, but way too short game. It has every Kirby element you need and it is ideal for on the road. There are no challenges in the game and the framerate drops if you use 3D. Still you get a very nice game for only 7 euros.

    The King's Bird is a game in a truly magical environment. The soundtrack is delicious and the gameplay is great. But in the last the game stutters a lot. Sometimes the character doesn't act right and you will die instantly. This becomes a frustration.

    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.

    Expansion The Resistance leaves us with mixed emotions. If it’s not for the zombies story, the DLC wouldn’t be all that special. In the end it’s a matter of personal preference: normal multiplayer or zombies?

    Megabyte Punch is a very fun beat 'em up-game by a Dutch developer. It is too bad the controls do not work very smoothly, but who said robots walk around smoothly? Still it is a pity that this game is not easy to handle, because it looks terrific.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a nice superhero game which, despite the flaws in graphics and audio, still get's a good score because of the great gameplay and replay value.

    Murfasha is short, but fun to play. There is a lot of shooting, but it's still laid back and actually too easy. The Tower Defense mechanism where you're the tower yourself is nicely thought of. The game has a dark sense of humor that actually works, without getting too much on the forefront. Murfasha is a great game for a couple of hours or evenings of fun, with out too much hassle.

    Hitman GO Definitive Edition is an interesting and unique puzzle game with enough variation to keep it entertaining. However it misses a bit of challenge, except for how to deal with the irritating camera standpoint.

    Anarchy Reigns does exactly what the title explains. It brings players to a world of chaos and adds a very thin storyline. The game is all about beating enemies up end allows you to doe this against the computer offline and versus players online. It's a pretty decent game with a dent in it here and there.

    Collection 1 has become a complete package, but it lacks originality. It steals components from previous Call of Duty games and that's a great shame. We expected more from this one.
