    With Sekiro Shadows Die Twice proves FromSoftware still knows how to put their 'soulslike'-concept to the best of use. Although the game introduces a tremendous load of changes to the formula, it still knows how to create that same euphoric experience.

    Captain Toad Treasure Tracker Special Book DLC offers a lot of fun for only six euros. You get to play in co-op through 18 levels. The new levels offer variety and more challenges than the original game did. A definite must buy for everyone with the game.

    The Division 2 is a lot of fun to play, with loads of content to tackle both solo or in co-op. The game's end game is massive with plenty of variety and new enemies. Although, overall, the game does not truly innovate, but more builds upon the original game.

    Dead or Alive 6 offers the same fun the previous installments did. There is not a huge leap forward in graphics, but in terms of gameplay there are some fun new elements. Unfortunately the game lacks diversity in multiplayer modes.

    Devil May Cry 5 is a fun new hack and slash entry in the series, but it doesn't deliver enough refreshment. This makes the action sometimes feel like you have been there before. But what a lovely place to be kicking demons' back to hell.

    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).

    Although there is some fun to be had with Crackdown 3, in the end the game fails to truly deliver. The campaign is repetitive, short and the world feels empty for current standards. The multiplayer is the main letdown, with barely any exciting content.

    Trials Rising offers one of the best Trials-experiences yet. The levels are challenging, the multiplayer is simple but fun and the Track Editor is bigger than ever. Sadly the looting and pimping system is not rewarding and the game stutters sometimes.

    RemiLore: Lost Girl in the Lands of Lore is a new 'hack and slash' RPG that combines challenging levels with a bland variation in characters.

    Thanks to some great puzzles and the mix of LEGO and DUPLO you would think that everything is awesome. Unfortunately it is not due to the lack of dynamic splitscreen, typical bugs and some dull worlds. It's more like everything is just okay.

    DiRT Rally 2.0 is an unforgivingly hard game, only for those brave enough to try and tackle the challenges that rally driving offer. If that's what you like, the game has much in store.

    Jump Force is a mess of a game. It boosts a strong cast of characters and has decent fighting mechanics. The game is just isn't up to par when it comes down to the loading times, framerate and animations.

    Salt and Sanctuary is a compelling game because of the enormous world and the many challenges it offers. The game kills you with every mistake you make and you want to keep coming back for more. This is a must buy.

    Anthem is an ambitious project and it paid off for BioWare in some measure. The gameplay is spectacular, the story is good and has a challenging endgame. But annoyances sometimes spoil it and it's up to BioWare to fix those problems for the future.

    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.

    God Eater 3 does a lot of things right, but misses marks as is goes along. Youu have a lot of options and skills and the battles you fight against huge monsters are epic. But there are only a few of these monsters.

    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.

    Although there's fun to be had in New Dawn, it feels a bit like a downgrade compared to Far Cry 5. An okay story, weak antagonists and mostly empty world are being held up by the franchise's usual standard for combat and graphics.

    Metro Exodus takes a different approach than previous installments in the Metro-franchise. The game feels more like STALKER and that's a good thing. The only question is how much of the old Metro-soul remains. A great experience, but a different Metro.

    Apex Legends is a new battle royale game from the makers of Titanfall with some cool new features. The game brings a mix of cool tech and a variety of characters. It does, however, only include one mode, which - to its credit - is fun to play.

    Shadow Heritage continues the style set by the first episode, with a new Order to hunt down, a continued story with Darius and his son/daughter and new goodies te play with. The new Order isn't as intimidating however and the story-area is quite small.

    My Memory of Us shows the harsh reality of World War II. It has a beautiful artstyle and great music as well. It's a shame the controls get in the way some times as the puzzels make the game worth playing.

    Thanks to a clunky camera and a very dated system this remake of Onimusha doesn't hold up. It's even apparent in the unskippable cutscenes. The atmosphere is great, but that's about it.

    Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition is a pleasure comeback of one of the most beloved Tales Of-games ever made.

    Kingdom Hearts 3 is every bit as magical as expected. It manages to set the bar high for games in 2019 with its nostalgia-inducing Disney worlds, great gameplay and epic conclusion. The long wait is finally over and fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

    Smoke and Sacrifice is a surprisingly complete game. It offers a ton of crafting options and challenges you on every step you take. The story is interesting and plays out in a wonderful hand drawn world. It is not perfect, but definitely worth your time.

    Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a great dogfighting game with realistic graphics and features. Flying feels great and is easy at first sight, but hard to master. On the contrary, the story feels incomplete and empty.

    Vane is a beautiful game with a magnificent soundtrack, but it lacks direction and accessibility. The camera is always annoyingly close or abrupt far away and there are a lot of bugs in the game.

    The second episode of Life is Strange 2 delivers on the return of Chris, a beautiful soundtrack and some great art. It's a shame the facial expressions suffer due to the art style though. It's a great nostalgic trip nonetheless.
