    It is weird and refreshing, it offers a lot of things to collect and a lot of possibilities in adjusting your characters. The fighting system is not very good, and Akiba's Trip is a long one as you get a load screen every five seconds.

    Hotel Transylvania Scary Tale Adventures is a very entertaining game for the kids, but not as fun as the movies. The game gives you the adventures of three fairy tales but in vampire style. All three stories are funny. You will have to platform a lot and with that an annoying feature comes up: the camera which doesn't always help. Next to that the game is one to play, but we would wait until it is on sale.

    The second episode of The Walking Dead Michonne is disappointing in many ways. A boring story, no connection with the characters and a lot of bugs. Telltale really has to step up its game for the final episode.

    Outriders is the new looter shooter from People Can Fly and Square Enix. It takes you to the planet Enoch, where mankind has to fight to survive and earn its place among the wild animals and hostile factions. It's got some great ideas, but lacks an interesting story and more importantly, good loot.

    White Knight Chronicles II improves on its predecessor, but only manages to create a forgettable experience. An overly clichéd plot and aged visuals aren't able to cover up the lacking gameplay mechanics. You do get a lot of content for your money however, and the online mode makes up for the mediocre singleplayer experience.

    Battlefield Hardline is the worst Battlefield game to date. Its story is very predictable and lacks excitement. Arresting criminals gets boring and Visceral made some mistakes in the visuals and multiplayer as well.

    Chimparty is so much fun to play with friends and family. Luck might be needed to win sometimes and the chaos can be overwhelming which is a shame. The music is great and sets the mood well for some fun times!

    This game is nice for children but there's too little to explore for them on one day. So it's a title you should buy for them (or yourself?) as an extra.

    Wet
    WET isn't really an original game. Several ingredients are taken from other good titles. Nevertheless, WET is amusing for a couple of hours and therefore it's just a good B-title.

    While the story and exploration in Atomfall feel refreshing and rewarding, the action and gameplay often feel like filler holding the experience back. It’s a promising mix of ingredients, but one that struggles to keep up with modern titles.

    A cherry on top of the cake that is 25 years of Need for Sped, or yet another 'what could have been'? Need for Speed Heat has the potential te be everything that anyone can ever ask from a Need for Speed-title, yet it makes several strange choices that do not benefit the game. Racing is fun as always, the story is poor and customizing cars makes up for a lot. But a title that celebrates 25 years of Need for Speed? No, not by a long shot.

    Farming Simulator 23 for Switch balances between two extremities. The game offers a solid farming experience that can be enjoyed endlessly, but, as it is based on the mobile version, it's also very limited. It doesn't offer the freedom which makes Farming Simulator great. Without mods, limited vehicles and fixed layouts, you're trapped in the base functionalities without the possibility of experimentation or expansion.

    Kholat could have been an amazing game, but it just isn't. It's based on a true story and looks great. The game start really good, but then slips away in boredom. The tension it needs just fades away really quickly.

    Mile 0 is the prequel to Road 96, a highly valued indie game. Sadly, this prequel cannot live up to the expectations. The choose your adventure mechanic doesn't work if the final result is already known, the game is short and marred with technical errors. Also, the game seems designed for mouse and keyboard with controller support added as an afterthought. Sadly, we cannot recommend this game in its current form.

    The Inpatient is a horror game that contains all the ingredients for a great game, but lacks the execution.

    Spider-Man: Edge of Time is an interesting game... initially. After having played a few missions, you'll get bored with the environments. Spider-Man doesn't have any freedom in Edge of Time, making the entire experience feel just, well, wrong.

    This isn't the best LEGO game to get. It really focuses on kids and therefore it's too simple for us adults.

    The style is fun and gameplay is somewhat diverse. If you look beyond the colourful lights and shiny colours though, there's not much more than a fairly basic (and easy!) Trials game with a Blood-Dragon skin.

    Kingdom Come Deliverance doesn't deliver on its expectations. Although the game looks stunning and the Middle Ages come to life beautifully, it's a technical mess.

    Looking at the graphics and sounds, Castlevania is fine. The controls are very simple, but at the same time not always that good. Overall a great Castlevania game, but not for full price.

    The Starship Damrey is a fun little experiment. Do not expect too much and you will probably appreciate the interesting story.

    Armageddon Riders is fun to play and there are enough missions to entertain you but they lack variaton. An online multiplayer and more variaton in the missions would have improved this game, but for €9.99 it's still a nice deal.

    Basically Lost Song 2.0 with the addition of the mechanized 'Duel Avatars'. While being an overall mediocre JRPG with some highlights, Burst Linkers are totally unnecessary in terms of gameplay. Also the graphics are a bit outdated.

    Outward is an extraordinary RPG with its difficulty and deep RPG system. You can fight with another player, but the AI is not quite good and the controls are a bit clonky. It is a shame the graphics are also outdated.

    Konami starts off the celebration of 50 years of work with a nice collection of arcade games. The most games in this set did already come out on different platforms, but the bonus book is a nice addition. The Haunted Castle game does not make sense here.

    With its incredibly obsolete graphics and technical aspects, combined with inappropriate modern elements, Duke Nukem cannot be called a good game. It is however a fun game, that offers the Nukem-trademark humour together with much variation in surroundings and gameplay.

    Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is fun to play but only for a little while. The monotonous gameplay, simple graphics and bad music will make sure that you get bored very fast.

    Are you a fan of the tactical RPG-genre and you like crazy Japanese story's? This game is absolutely worth playing. Unfortunately the graphics look a little oldish.

    Even though the Isle of Armor reintroduces 210 new Pokémon and provides a new and easier way to get certain items and upgrades, it's story is too short and not entertaining to really prove itself worthy. However you are a big Pokémon fan and just want to capture more of them, this DLC will probably to the job for you.
