Developer Games Farm didn't deliver us a simulation like promised, but turned Secret Wars into a decent arcade shooter. The multiplayer can be very fun but the singleplayer drags down the score because of the bad voice acting and the simplified AI.- XGN

Final Exam is a fun game whilst playing with friends offline or online. It proves a challenge due to a diverse group of enemies and interesting combo plus RPG-system. But when you play the game alone, it tends to get boring pretty quick.- XGN

This arcade racing game from SEGA is, to some extent, nice to play, but after a while it becomes monotonous. It's fun for the variation, but we don't recommend this title.- XGN

In the end, Paper Mario The Origami King is a fine game, but throughout the years Nintendo has delivered games that are far better. If the game was a bit more challenging it would have gone a long way for the overall enjoyment.- XGN

Mighty No. 9 is the spiritual successor for Mega Man, but has its own identity. This is not always a good thing however. The game contains a few way-too-childish elements, but the gameplay should keep you satisfied for hours.- XGN

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.- XGN

Bleeding Edge is an online 4v4 brawler in which two teams fight to control objectives. The combat in the game feels satisfying and the characters are well balanced. Teamwork is very important and therefore as a solo player, it can be frustrating when your team doesn’t work together. It’s a shame that there is very little content in the game. Updates with more fighters, game modes and maps are desperately needed to keep Bleeding Edge fresh and entertaining.- XGN

Redeemer is a top-down brawler with stunning graphics and addictive combat. At least the first few chapters. After the half-point mark bugs, boring locations and an artificial difficulty dominate the first impressions.- XGN

While Face Off adds an intense new game mode, the Spec-Ops missions fail to impress. The balance between the content in this expansion isn't right at all.- XGN

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.- XGN

The second episode of Life is Strange Before the Storm doesn't quite live up to the expectations set by the success of the first episode. The ending manages to save the day but does put pressure on Dontnod to make the finale worthwhile.- XGN

If you expect nothing too much, Enter the Dominatrix will be worth your while. It may be short and easy but the jokes are great and the missions are absurd in a good way.- XGN

Dragons Dawn of New Riders is an ideal game for young gamers, but lacks some essential elements hardcore gamers would like to see. There's a lot to explore and there're a lot of iconic How To Train Your Dragon elements to find in this game.- XGN

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.- XGN

Robinson The Journey feels like an unique VR adventure with one of a kind beauty. Unfortunately the visual greatness is held back by the fact that feels like a walking simulator instead of a true puzzle game.- XGN

This expansion brings frequent loading times, a horrible framerate and slow gameplay. Moreover, where are the horses, snakes and birds? Thankfully the dogs and cats happen to be extremely cute.- XGN

Rogue Stormers is a mediocre game with endless hordes of enemies for you to take down. It finds its challenge in this aspect, but can be frustrating due to your limited health. Grinding will be necessary to continue playing Rogue Stormers.- XGN

This fighting game is nice due to all the swords but has not so much content. Therefore it's not a game you will play for month, more for a couple of weeks. Also the story is a bit weak and outdated.- XGN

Defense Technica is just your average tower defense game. It’s an amusing game, with easy to master controls. The towers could be more diverse and the A.I. isn’t that good.- XGN

The Escapists 2 certainly isn’t a bad game. The best way to play the game is with a Switch. It looks phenomenal and the controls are good. Although the game has a lot of ‘downtime’ and can be boring at times the whole idea is great, even more in co-op.- XGN

Dolmen is a Soulslike in a Dead Space setting: a dark, alien-infested space-environment filled with gore. The gameplay is what you'd expect from a Soulsgame, but has very little to add to the genre. The energy-management is a nice addition, as is the possibility to relive previous boss battles for extra nanites, the game's version of Souls. In the end, the game is too firmly stuck in the classic gameplay of Souls games, while the genre has progressed with the likes of Elden Ring.- XGN

This game is fun to play but we aren't seeing anything groundbreaking. Because of all rehashes, Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions never feels like a complete game.- XGN

Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong is a narrative driven game that delivers an interesting plot, through the eyes of three totally different vampires. Sadly the game fails to fully commit to that story and stumbles along the way. While there are some memorable moments of joy and euphoria, there are as many moments that you'd rather just play something else. Many game mechanics work more against you rather than helping you, and on a technical level the game sometimes feels sluggish at best.- XGN

The third episode of The Council is one of the least compelling of the series so far. The puzzles are not logical and the amount of running around you have to do is quite tedious.- XGN

LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins for the 3DS has its pros, but they all fade away compared to the recently released Wii U game. The Chase Begins offers a stripped down version of LEGO City resulting in a lesser game experience.- XGN

Hexodius is one of those games you can pick up quickly and play for a short time. With great sound effects and upgrades it is a fun game. But it has that problem for the consoles: it’s too short and too boring to play for quite a while. If Hexodius was placed right in front of us and you would say it was a mobile game, we would have believed you.- XGN

Overty ambitious, but marred by glitches and lack of polish, this game borrows many elements from famous games in history with some new ideas. The setting is great, but the scope seems too big for a debut title. Hopefully this isn't the last we've seen from this new universe.- XGN

Star Wars Pinball is better on the Wii U than on its handheld brother, but still a fun game to play. With different machines and the great soundtrack this game is okay. It’s up to you if you want to pay a good seven euro’s for the game.- XGN
