    Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef
    Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef looks good at a glance. The graphic style is one to love and the humor is on par. The game only suffers from framedrops and crashes, that force you to play entire parts all over again. Besides that, the game offers a brainless gameplay for up to four players. you can play online or offline as you wish, unlock new weapons and wreck utter chaos with them. Still, for 20 euros a game with hard crashes feels a bit too expensive.

    Shoot Many Robots
    Shoot Many Robots is not really the kind of game that you should buy full price. But if you're looking for a game with a nice co-op to play with you're friends, then look no further.

    ARMED SEVEN
    How surprising, another indie game with a retro feel to it. Even though Armed Seven works fine, there is nothing fresh and new to experience while playing this 2D shooter. Too bad, cause through the pixels you can feel the love that the developer put into it.

    Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alone
    Backbone did a good job by implementing gameplay that is obviously meant for four player co-operation. Never Die Alone is quite challenging, requiring a bit of tactical thinking. The last levels will bore you however, because the game is rather monotonous.

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small lineup of horror games on the Wii U. The creepy, disturbing atmosphere and gamepad controls are great, but the outdated design and sometimes disappointing graphics don't make this a classic.

    Super Bomberman R
    Super Bomberman R goes big on multiplayer and brings the fun. The campaign however does not due to a weird balancing act. Thanks to fast gameplay and many characters there is plenty to do even though the in-game currency is way off.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD
    The Splinter Cell Trilogy is still great to play, but the lack of a multiplayer mode and the addition of bugs and glitches turn this game into a lazy port. Especially considering the fact that the first two games tend to be obsolete, it's hard to recommend this bundle.

    Oil Rush
    Oil Rush delivers a new experience within the Tower Defense genre and Unigine Corp. delivers a decent game. The flaws of Oil Rush are the lack of variety and freedom within the game. Despite these flaws, the game is a real brainteaser at times.

    Vikings: Wolves of Midgard
    In terms of story and mythology this game is not that exciting. On the other hand, it feels great to overpower big trolls and fat bosses. Vikings Wolves of Midgard is a great game for everyone who wants something other than Diablo.

    Gravel
    Gravel is a true arcade racer. The game has a lot of cars and types of events to keep you going for some time. The problem is that the tracks look very similar and that the most tracks are rallycross tracks. More tracks would create more diversity.

    Sea of Thieves
    While there is some fun to be had with Sea of Thieves, there isn't enough variation and basic content to maintain high quality gameplay. Apart from that, it feels like technical difficulties are sinking its release already.

    Lollipop Chainsaw
    With Lollipop Chainsaw, Suda 51 has once again found a great mix between fun, varied gameplay and tons of humor. The action might not really stand out and the game has its issues, but it's a great, fun ride.

    The King's Bird
    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.

    Disney Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse
    The brushed up version of this classic looks really nice, but doesn't offer much challenge. The controls feel a bit slow and it's not a really long game either. Still, you'll enjoy the game a lot while it lasts.

    Mafia III: Faster, Baby!
    Mafia III Faster, Baby! continues the strong narrative of the core game. Unfortunately, it deals with much of the same technical issues. Nevertheless, the amount of new content should stand for another few hours of fun.

    Fallout 4: Automatron
    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.

    SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs
    SOCOM: Special Forces has left us with mixed feelings. The singleplayer doesn't live up to today's standards but the varied multiplayer and co-op modes save this game from its doom.

    NIER
    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.

    Strength of the Sword 3
    At certain moments Strength of the Swords 3 show its interesting ideas. But at almost all of those moments the execution is lacking.

    Wreckateer
    Wreckateer is one of the first Kinect games since the camera's release in 2010, that actually works well. We've had tons of Kinect games that found a mare's nest. That makes it a huge relief when we discovered that Wreckateer works as it should work.

    Alien Breed 2: Assault
    Unfortunately Alien Breed 2: Assault is not a big improvement unlike its predecessor. The co-op and survivor modes are very good, but the singleplayer is disappointing.

    Gotham Knights
    Gotham Knights is a good game dragged down by a few mechanics that feel a little out of place. The story, characters, and gameplay is really fun, strengthened by a great-looking open world, and tons of stuff to do. The fact that you'll need to do all of it in 30 fps is a big problem though, although some co-op makes up for it a little.

    Nights of Azure
    Even though the story in Nights of Azure isn't original, combining it with a lesbian love story and a great battle system works out for the game. Sometimes the cutscenes lack great graphics, but the music and the low budget compensates for these flaws.

    Cursed Mountain
    The name of this game is Cursed Mountain. But do we curse the game itself or not? If you don't pay attention to the bad graphics and the slow progress in the game, you can really have some fun with Cursed Mountain which has actually a unique atmosphere.

    Worms Revolution Extreme
    Worms Revolution: Extreme is anything except a revolution. It still holds on to that year old concept and doesn’t change its route. Is that bad? Not really, it still is a good game with plenty of features and destructive environments.

    Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China
    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.

    SpinTires
    Spintires is a simulation game in which you drive through Russia with different off-road vehicles. The in-game physics are a blast and are very realistic, but overall Spintires can be kind of boring to some players. You only have one objective to complete, and all the maps look alike. Still, if you just enjoy riding through dirt, this is the game for you.

    White Day: A Labyrinth Named School
    White Day is a bloody scary game. Not just because it is a horror title, but just as much because of the flaws. It contains a very annoying janitor and a frustratingly precise control setup. Because of this the game doesn't live up to what it could be.

    Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons
    Are you looking for a cute beat m' up? Then this is your game. It's nice to play together and you can unlock a lot of characters.

    Marvel's Avengers
    Marvel's Avengers is at odds with itself every step of the way. Thanks to a great story that spotlights Kamala Khan as the heart and soul of this game there is enough to justify its existence. The multiplayer, however, is riddled with bugs, bad level design, and a lack of diverse content that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.
