    MY Memory of Us is a game which nears perfection storywise. The story is emotional and makes you want to play more and more. But unfortunately there are some gameplay elements that don't work as they should. Still this Indie is a must play.

    While XCOM is a giant in the turn-based strategy genre, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified has trouble keeping up with most modern third-person shooters. It's not one of the best shooters out there, but it is one of the most tactical and challenging ones. Gamers looking for action, strategy and real consequences would do well to check out this flawed, yet very rewarding game.

    Like an insane stunt pilot in the Red Bull Air Race, World of Warplanes manages to leave an excellent impression. But Wargaming has to keep proving themselves in the future if they want us to remain impressed. It's easy to find great satisfaction, however, when you roam the game's skies with Ride of the Valkyries on the background, while you're bringing death and destruction in your own personal aircraft.

    The official game to the biggest sports event in the world offers an interesting variety of events to compete in, both online and offline. The controls are surprisingly varied and easy to pick up. The cartoony style might not be to anyone's taste, but the many customizations and wild outfits are a fun note.

    This is a new Warrior game but it's not really different from Dynasty Warrior games. It has some nice features though. But don't buy it for 60 euros, half of it is enough.

    Alice: Madness Returns is a wolf in sheep's clothing. This game may look honest and cute, but it's cruel and bloody. Alice takes you to an another unforgettable experience in Wonderland. And if you didn't remember the first experience, then you get the opportunity to play the first game for free. Buy it, please.

    The final episode of Minecraft Story Mode is a mixed one. The standalone adventures are a great addition to the series, but with its open ending, we're left in the dark with where to go next. And Telltale probably feels the same.

    LEGO Worlds sounds like a dream, but truthfully it is not a good game. Minecraft is simply better. As are other LEGO games. You can build a lot, but it is all too repetitive.

    The second episode of Telltale's Game of Thrones leaves you lingering for more. With some interesting characters and quite a clever plot, you really can't wait for the third episode of Game of Thrones.

    With The Siege of Paris, Ubisoft delivers another excellent expansion for Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The main storyline is diverse and much more than just a siege, Paris and the surrounding areas are beautifully crafted and rats are an interesting new mechanic - although not always executed that well.

    Thunder Wolves is an arcade-style retro helicopter shooter, which is pretty original. Unfortunately this game has pretty old-school graphics too. It does play very smooth, although the keyboard is not the best way to fly a helicopter.

    Octodad: Dadliest Catch has a brilliant concept, a hilarious story and the same goes for the gameplay. The shortness of the story mode is a letdown, but not because it doesn't justify the price tag. Whether it's a sequel or a feature film by Pixar, Octodad is an unforgettable character that deserves more time in the limelight.

    Iron Rain is a decent spin-off which focuses on a more Western Market. Although the game has a better story driven campaign and upgrade in terms of graphics, it delivers less of a comical arcade experience than the original titles do.

    Heroes of Ruin is a fun dungeon crawler with tons of loot to collect and more than enough possibilities to connect with other players. The game is a bit standard though, failing to stand out from the croud.

    Touch my Katamari offers a slightly low amount of amusing levels to roll through and with the addition of ball-morphing, it's more fun than ever. The weirdness also makes a triumphant return, though it is starting to show its age.

    Burnout Crash is fun as a mini-game, but not as a full arcade game. Its repetitive nature and unimpressive visuals will bore you and turn Crash into a barely interesting one trick pony.

    Fragments of Him has poor gameplay, empty characters and the environments lack inspiration. It doesn't do the great story justice, unfortunately.

    With Alice in Wonderland you find yourself in a strange fairy tale, a story you will complete too quickly and one that has little depth. But thanks to the co-op the game offers plenty of fun for children.

    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.

    This game is very ambitious and to some extent is able to fulfill that. The environment is gorgeous and driving through the different areas each have their own challenges. The game doesn't fully feel finished. Technical issues ranging from superficial to gamebreaking and some key functions are simply missing. The AI really isn't very good, and the game really needs the promised photo mode and free roam. The game really has potential, and if the promised additions are there, it might be able to deliver.

    A ton of fun and a good (re)introduction to Nintendo’s 8-Bit classics. Even though it has slight hints of a double rehash, Ultimate NES Remix is still an addicting throwback to the glory days of the Nintendo Entertainment system.

    Pokemon GO is already the best thing from 2016. Although the game has some server issues, once these problems are resolved the hype will probably continue. Thanks to limitless possibilities in add ons of Pokemon and features.

    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.

    Fairy Tail is finally on consoles and PC with a full-fledged RPG. The fanservice in this one is great for everyone. The fights are over the top with all the magic happening everywhere and the world takes you to a lot of different places. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of different enemies and the guild board missions are all similar after a while. Still, the game invites you to explore everything until you reach the spectacular ending and then some.

    Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX is a remake from the Red & Blue Rescue Team games from the GBA and Nintendo DS respectively. It's a title full of nostalgia for those who played and loved the original, but seeing how this game was originally a handheld it might be a bit lacking for some who are looking for a brand new Switch game. We recommend playing the free demo first to see if this is something you want to spend money on.

    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.

    Vengeance has become a really zombie centered DLC. With four new multiplayer maps, of which only two of them are really worth it, and an awesome new zombies map called Buried, you can have hours of fun shooting. The Ray Gun Mark II is the cherry on the pie, and summed up Vengeance is worth every penny.

    Black Forest Games combines two beautiful worlds in one game. With an amazing concept and some challenging gameplay you would think it is ideal for platform lovers. The inaccurate controls and frustrating moment however get rid of that thought in no time.

    Instead of making an entire retail version of this game, it would have perhaps been better to bring out the game as an arcade title. However Tornado Outbreak did surprise us, and therefore it deserves a nice mark.

    Shelter wants you to feel compassion for your badger cubs but it doesn't give you a lot to work with. Because of the short duration, dull color scheme and simple gameplay you never get the real feeling of bonding with your little ones.
