    Daemon X Machina has its ups and downs, with some amazing action and an impressive amount of weapons. Unfortunately the worlds are completely empty and it is not strong in the graphical department.

    WWE 2K17 is a very decent wrestling game, which offers players the true WWE experience through its host of famous wrestlers and its surprisingly layered gameplay.

    Fate of the World: Tipping Point offers a great learning experience but doesn't keep the player interested in it's gameplay for long. The look is good and you have a ton of possibilities, it's just a shame that the learning curve is so steep.

    Once you get past the steep learning curve in Monster Energy Supercross, you'll find a challenging and fun to play game. The game has solid gameplay, but unfortunately there are quite a few bugs and visual glitches affecting the game.

    Maneater is a fun RPG that sadly manages to have a lot of the same gameplay. The RPG elements of the game work well, but there is too little story and the game would be a lot better with story missions. However, eating things as a shark is fun and the open world is beautiful. There is definitely some sensation to get out of this title.

    Madballs is a fun game which is very accessible for every gamer. It looks good and plays really smoothly, it's absolutely worth every penny it costs!

    The Descent DLC is definitely not the best DLC out there for Black Ops 3. Although the remake of Raid (Empire) is pretty cool, the three new multiplayer maps are quite standard. Zombie mode, Korod Grovi, is a big plus once again.

    The definitive version of the famous Android and iOS-game. A joy to play and definitely one of the best games on Wii U e-Shop. Save the ocean!

    There's no denying that Blackguards has tons and tons of content that can keep you busy for days. Just don't expect a game that will blow you away, because it's mediocre at best.

    StarBlood Arena is a funny VR shooter, but it has its flaws. While the characters feel diverse and have depth to them, the rest of the game lacks on those points. The core of the game is fun, but due to its weak points, the game fails to truly deliver.

    NBA 2K21 is really a good game. It has a lot of good aspects and fun modes. It is disappointing that 2K has put little effort into it. 2K21 looks kinda like a reboot of 2K20. The gameplay is top notch in NBA 2K21, except for throwing the ball. This has also caused a lot of discontent within the NBA 2K community. With the addition of the new shot meter, scoring points is a lot more difficult. This in turn ensures that you will play the game longer to really get the hang of it.

    This is a port but does not feel like one. Still it suffers from the same problems as the original version on 3DS. Next to that the story feels short and it offers not much else. It is a fun game, but it could have been much, much better.

    With an infinite amount of levels, Cloudberry Kingdom delivers enough content for a lifetime. Visually it isn’t the greatest game and it can get quite repetitive, but with a split screen co-op it’s fun to play with friends on the couch.

    Stoked is definitely a game which can compete with other snowboard games. Despite the few inaccuracy's in the audio and the graphics, it's great fun and deserves it's seven mark.

    Shad'O has a nice story which is interwoven with classic tower defense gameplay. The gameplay doesn't offer much innovation but the beautiful surroundings sure make up for that.

    Even though Metrocide has a great atmosphere and a creative setup, the game feels artificially difficult and ends up being very frustrating.

    Syberia 2 for Switch is a lot like the first part of the series. Sadly, it doesn't improve any of the flaws of part one. It's also not a fun game if you haven't played the first Syberia.

    Despite of a significant weakness in the controls, it's a title Wii owners should definitely have played. Graphically the game looks good and the sound is actually pretty decent. In short: The Overlord has returned to tell us the story about the rise of his existence, although he stutters while doing this.

    This isn't a good game for kids because of the terrible Kinect support. It's best to watch Pixar movies instead of playing them.

    Bubble Bobble 4 Friends tries to capture the magic from the original, but it fails in the end. The gameplay is enjoyable, but it becomes stale really quick, there is no challenge to speak of and the price is too high for what you're getting.

    Nier wants too much and therefore fails. The gameplay is not challenging, the graphics are below standard and there is no originality whatsoever. So, just don't buy this game.

    The Blob 2 will show how you can change a grey world into a world full of color. It is awesome to see how you actions affect the world. But after playing the game once and for several hours, you will see that it is in need of more variation in gameplay.

    Star Wars Battlefront 2 manages to deliver a great multiplayer experience that the previous game couldn't. Although the campaign is relatively short with its 4 hours, the online portion makes up for that with fast-pace action.

    MotoGP 17 is a step back from Valentino Rossi the game. Although it brings a new manager mode and classical riders, it does not justify the price tag.

    The hype around Brink was huge and the game doesn't live up to all of the expectations. The campaign is extremely short and so it's the online gameplay that saves this game from demise. With the right teammates you'll have a ton of fun online.

    At first, Lost Planet 2 seems to have it all. Unfortunately if you take a closer look the game has many flaws, which provide more frustration than fun.

    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.

    Yooka-Laylee is a celebration of classic games like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong. If you have ever played those games you will be the happiest person in the world playing Yooka-Laylee. If not, you might be bothered too much by its flaws.

    The new features that the Director's Cut brings to Strike Suit Zero, make the game a bit more enjoyable. Unfortunately the game is still haunted by repetitive missions and a weak story.
