    Shadows of the Damned will make you laugh and cry at the same time. The funny conversations and the cool grindhouse style will put a grin on your face but the weak gameplay might cause you to throw your controller against the wall sometimes.

    Black Desert Online is a MMORPG which provokes mixed feelings. A great and versatile combat system and beautiful graphics are being diminished by the countless bugs and a confusing user interface. Maybe a little too much information with too few tutorials.

    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.

    Cubemen is a simplistic tower defense game with a unique style that is best to be enjoyed offline. There are a lot of different game modes to enjoy and the AI is pretty good. Things tend to get a bit too simplistic however as all of the levels basically look the same and you can't upgrade any of your units. The multiplay can get frustrating as well, as people just tend to spam the cheapest units available.

    Pride of Nations is a very deep and realistic game that's perfect for strategists that like a firm challenge. Unfortunately you'll get lost in a sea of possibilities and will find it difficult to enjoy the bad graphics.

    Realm of the Wood Elves is a mediocre to good expansion for Total War Warhammer. New intriguing races and a different playstyle offers some more fun with the game. Although not every feature works that well.

    Harmony of Despair is extremely entertaining for fans of platform games and most certainly for fans of the franchise. The gameplay works great although we had our hopes set on a little bit more innovation.

    The game looks very good and the atmosphere and soundtrack are as good as well. But there's a lack of depth and the game has annoying controls on certain moments, so therefore the game is nothing more than just a snack. However, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon remains advisable to try if you have nothing to do.

    Wonder Boy Collection is a cool collection of four games. The games are all unique for their time and thus have something to add. Although one of the games has not aged well and one other has just gotten a remake last year, the collection is still one to play.

    One piece Odyssey celebrates 25 years of the anime by providing a game with gameplay that is at times just as old. The turnbased fights have some interesting new elements, but outside the fights a lot feels oldfashioned. Quests lack a sense of progress, no fast travel during quests and the use of savepoints make this game feel like it hasn't progressed beyond a few decades ago. Fortunately, the anime itself is brilliant and makes you eager to go watch it right after you close the game.

    Mega Man 10 is on certain moments a good game, but it drops stitches as well. Furthermore, the bosses aren't all original and the soundtrack is a little bit annoying. Still the game offers enough innovation to keep you busy for hours.

    The first add-on got a well made, but short story with an intriguing plot. In addition to this, you are able to build your own mechanical friends! However, Automatron feels unbalanced and is full of known bugs.

    A solid game with a beautiful artstyle, fine combat system and decent music...The many text-screens do more harm to the game than they add to it.

    Even after all these years, Tetris is an addictive and nice game to play. You don't have to buy this for new elements like AR-modes or the 3D-support. But you can buy it for its online options and a lot of the offline modes.

    Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is a game which is absolutely charming to fans of the manga/series. For others it is a mediocre hack and slash game with simplified (but great) combat, but outdated graphics.

    Replace "City" with "Village" and you got a much better name for this last Dark Souls DLC. Where enemies, bosses and items live up to the expectations, most areas seem to fail in delivering the same message.

    You can go through these forty levels very fast, because they'll only take 10 seconds to finish. You must improve your play, because you need to score stars to continue. The gameplay is pretty simple, the storyline is too much, but it is actually an addictive little game waiting for you.

    A Pixel Story is a fun platform puzzle game which takes you on a journey through the pixelated era. It is full of homages to older games and movies and offers a healthy dose of humor and challenges, though the game gets a little repetitive after a while.

    Damsel is a fun and chaotic game, where you need to know what to shoot and when to shoot it. The arcade shooter has its fun times, but with the repetitive levels and the sudden changes in difficulty, it is hard to keep on playing Damsel.

    Samurai Shodown is a fun game for the Nintendo Switch, but also seems to be a game that gets old quickly. In particular, the storylines of the various characters who run the same at certain moments can be a drawback. If you are looking for a fun, fast and at the same time slow fighting game that really gets you excited, this is a must buy for you.

    Of all the games with low production values, this one isn't all that bad. It definitely has it flaws, but it's enjoyable so you could do a lot worse.

    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.

    Foul Play is absolutely charming and a good co-op game. However the length is too short and the game itself is too easy.

    Once again Twistel Pixel has made a game with a good sense of humor. The game is repetitive, sure, but because of the appropriate level of difficulty you keep playing it anyway. Comic Jumper offers a good experience, but it just isn't worth 1200 Microsoft Points.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 improves just enough over its predecessor to keep it interesting. The new online features are a nice addition, but the rest of the game is almost the same as last year's edition.

    The fact that it's another game with zombies is nice, but the old school atmosphere that Zombies brings is the whole reason you should get this. The awesome soundtrack and the pixelated look will make you relive your childhood memories.

    The Order 1886 is an amazing rollercoaster ride with beautiful graphics, and a creative setting. If you're looking for a fun third person shooter, you've come to the right place.

    You will have seen everything the single player has to offer in just a few hours. The multiplayer however is hectic and fun and is truly the highlight of the game.

    This game looks good and is nice to play but why has this game been released on 3DS? It would have been a better idea to release it on Switch (with coop support).

    RoboCop is a passionate and faithful addition to the franchise, but it's not without its flaws. While the gunplay gives you plenty of customization and is a whole lot of fun, the rest of the game lacks a bit on the content side. It is lacking some depth in its conversations, story telling and the game world also feels a bit empty from time to time. That, and the technical imperfections that are present during gameplay, prevent the game from being that true nostalgic banger.
