Dreams is an achievement in gaming thanks to its endless possibilities for creations while making it fun to play as well. The easy to understand creator tools allow the players to go wild with their ideas while offering up a short, but great story of its own as well. A plethora of great creations can already be found and we can't wait to see what the Dreams community comes up with next.- XGN

Darksiders Genesis brings a new perspective to the franchise. The fourth horseman is not alone. He brought his brother War for some co-op fun! The game is the most fun together, chopping up enemies and solving the puzzles. But alone you can navigate through hell and the story as well. The levels are not that special, but the fighting makes up for it. There are tons of moves and skills to unlock to keep you playing way beyond the 15 hours the story takes to complete.- XGN

While the DLC takes some time to find its footing, there are some interesting tidbits to be found. Unfortunately, the adventure comes to a close just as things get exciting. Fans can rejoice though thanks to the added boss fights that offer up a whole new challenge.- XGN

The Sims 4 Tiny living is a fun and unique expansion package from EA that brings something more than a simple expansion pack with some extra furniture. Tiny living is a challenge for both players and Sims and brings many fun aspects to the game. Tiny living is also great to combine with other expansion packs with, in our opinion, student life in particular.- XGN

Lydia is a game with two faces. One face tells you a compelling story about the heavy subject of alcoholism from the perspective of a child. The other face is a game that is short and doesn't keep the pace of how it should. As a package, it offers an interesting hour to spend, especially for the very low price at which it comes.- XGN

AO Tennis is simply the best tennis game we have seen in years. Although it looks not that great, it offers very solid gameplay and challenges. The game does not feel like an arcade game but challenges you with a strong AI. If only all the players were there.- XGN

Zombieland Double Tap was a great movie. The game with the subtitle Roadtrip is not so great. Its upsides are the co-op for four players and it's short levels. Unfortunately, there are a lot of downsides. The game is way too short and doesn't always save your progress. Next to that the game never gets really interesting. This could be much better.- XGN

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a solid game for anyone looking for some nostalgia thanks to a great retelling of the anime's story. The game gets repetitive though and relies too much on forced RPG-elements that don't add that much to the overall experience.- XGN

Zombie Army finally has its own face as the graphics are a lot better than its predecessors and there are plenty of new elements. You get to fight zombies in new areas, battle new enemies and get the best experience when slaughtering zombies with some good old-fashioned co-op gameplay. The only real downside is the reduced possibility for sniping.- XGN

After it's debut on the Wii U, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE returns for the Switch for a second chance to stand in the spotlight. Even though this typical JRPG is charming, it sometimes because a little bit too difficult for it's own good. Luckily new additions to the soften this blow and makes Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore a very enjoyable feel good title to play.- XGN

Monster Hunter World Iceborne is an expansion by the book. There is tons of new content, including exciting new monsters, weapon and armor sets. The Clutch Claw and new attacks add to the gameplay and are really needed for the challenging Master Rank quests. On PC the new areas look even better, including support for widescreen. We still recommend however to avoid mouse and keyboard. If Capcom can keep this quality up, the franchise has a bright future ahead.- XGN

It might take a while to find your footing with Blacksad, but that's okay. The characters are charming and the story is interesting as well. Unfortunately the game doesn't control that well and the graphics are disappointing as well.- XGN

This brain trainer will keep you occupied for a couple of weeks thanks to the many, many missions. Unfortunately there isn't anything new to experience even though it's fun to learn with the game. Switch Lite owners may want to hold off on buying this one since they can't play that much due to the limitations of the Switch Lite.- XGN

Darksiders Genesis is an excellent addition to the action-RPG genre. While it isn't as polished as Diablo, Genesis delivers a great adventure full of exploration and puzzles to boot. With its main characters there is plenty of fun for veterans of the series as well as new players.- XGN

Life is Strange 2 is a worthy sequel to both Life is Strange and Before the Storm. The game can't compete with either of them, but makes for a good third game. The story of Sean and Daniel is compelling and keeps you interested. Although there is a quiet episode in the middle of the story and not everything makes the impact you expect.- XGN

While the game doesn't control that great it does have a unique and interesting story. The path is filled with challenges which will keep you busy for a good while. These challenges are fun to overcome but don't line up with the target audience which is a shame.- XGN

The conclusion of the Life is Strange 2 season is a great one. It answers all the questions you have and goes out with a bang. All of the seven endings are emotional and worthy to the season. The epic journey of Sean and Daniel is a great one and your choices really matter in the end. DONTNOD once again delivered a great season.- XGN

Bee Simulator could've been something special if it had more variety in the missions and a world that didn't feel so empty. With a lack of both the game just feels a bit boring at times. The game is beautiful though and plays well so you might want to give it a chance when it's on sale.- XGN

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.- XGN

While it's shooter mechanics and open mission structure, make the game fun to play. There are also plenty of technical flaws or poor design choices that ruin that same fun experience. Glitchy maps, weird AI movements and a poor story make this shooting adventure feel mediocre instead of great.- XGN

Terminator Resistance is yet another faulty game based on a movie. The fanservice is the best part of the entire game. Next to that, the graphics are bad, the Terminators are not that intelligent or frightening, and the world and missions are not interesting. Which could have been a shooter to remember has turned out to be another bad part in a series of bad iterations.- XGN

Finally Shenmue 3 is here. After 18 years Ryo's story continues. But the third chapter feels more like an enormous side mission than the continuation of the story. The game looks great and plays away like a modern game, while staying true to the first two parts. For fans this is a must play, but others don't miss out if they skip this one.- XGN

With Pokemon Shield Game Freak has delivered one of their best games in years thanks to a fantastic addition with the Wild Area. Everyone can find something they will enjoy even though the National Dex isn't here and the online infrastructure isn't great. The music, new designs and animation alone give you enough reason to play on the first mainline entries to ever grace the TV.- XGN

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.- XGN

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is everything that the console version was but better, although with some caveats. The controls are improved with mouse and keyboard, but are still a bit clunky. The graphics are breathtaking, but it does requires a beefy PC and there are some technical problems. If you can run it however, it's one of the best games the platform has to offer.- XGN

Thanks to a mix-and-match of different genres Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the best Star Wars-game is years. Combat and traversal is challenging and diverse, puzzles will require your brain and Force powers are cleverly used in every part of the game. Besides all that it even provides a more than decent story for fans of the franchise.- XGN
