    The Blob 2 will show how you can change a grey world into a world full of color. It is awesome to see how you actions affect the world. But after playing the game once and for several hours, you will see that it is in need of more variation in gameplay.

    Your first moments on Mars might be filled with doubt and confusion. But when you see through the dust storm and see the possibilities of Surviving Mars you will stick around for many hours to come.

    Scribblenauts Showdown is a fun party game and offers players a lot of fun content. It might get boring when not playing in the co-op mode, though the Sandbox mode and its fun missions make up for the lack of another player in the team.

    Rad Rodgers is with its 3/4 hours of gameplay a pretty sick game. In those hours you will face a hard challenge in a beautiful created world. The game feels repetitive sometimes, but for this price Rad Rodgers is worth picking up.

    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.

    Burnout Paradise Remastered is an amazing game, but the game is way too easy and too expensive. The fact that there’s no new content is also a pity.

    Curse of the Pharaohs offers an interesting new storyline, focusing on the controversial Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Include that with new abilities, sidequests and characters and you have quite the package for twenty euros.

    For the past few years players had the chance to enjoy the beautiful story of Yakuza. Unfortunately, this story comes to a close with Yakuza 6. While you assume the role of Kiryu for the last time, the beautiful ending is in sight.

    Kirby Star Allies is Kirby's debut for the Nintendo Switch. The games focuses mainly on its four player co-op mechanic, but is also perfectly playable for just one player.

    The downloadable content Rise and Fall adds a lot to the main game. The DLC provides more depth into the systems of the game and forces players to make wise choices. The new content keeps players busy, but doesn’t always improve the game.

    Probably the best SOA-game. Funny feelgood story with addictive gameplay elements. Overall the experience could have been better if the areas had some more variety.

    Sparc is an action-packed VR title that sadly lacks in some departments. While the gameplay itself works well, there is a lack of variety and content. There is no singleplayer and you only got three modes to work with.

    Secret of Mana deserves a better remaster or remake than this. The game is revamped to look new, but there are numerous issues. The faces don't move and the gameplay just feels old on some accounts. Still the game is enjoyable for over 20 hours.

    This game is fun to play with four people. However, you need a friend. You can't join random people online. It's a shame, but the gameplay itself is fun.

    Ode
    Ode is a short but enjoyable ride. Playing as Joy while making your own background tune is both fun and relaxing. Although the game only lasts around two hours, you will be intrigued from start to finish.

    Crossing Souls is a fine game that successfully does what it needs to do, but it does only that. There is much potential in the gameplay that sadly doesn't reach its full potential. This makes Crossing Souls just an average game.

    The newest part in the Metal Gear franchise is Survive. While the previous Metal Gear games had a hint of stealth and action, survival plays the biggest role in this game. There's plenty of missions and zombies to slay, but they don’t have much variety.

    Once you get past the steep learning curve in Monster Energy Supercross, you'll find a challenging and fun to play game. The game has solid gameplay, but unfortunately there are quite a few bugs and visual glitches affecting the game.

    Fe
    Fe is a game with a clear message and most of all a game that knows how to impress with a unique style. A wonderful world with pleasant music is waiting for patient gamers.

    Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is an all out brawler. It exchanges a rich story for a mashup between Smash Bros and Warriors games. Although the fighting works great, the fights itself are often chaotic. The many unlockables and characters offer tons of fan service.

    Age of Empires Definitive Edition is stuck between past and present. On the one hand this is a beautiful remake with nostalgic gameplay, but the problems of the past still plague the game, making the Definitive Edition a shell of its former self.

    Sky Force Reloaded is a great game from the arcade times. And now it’s playable on the Switch. Prepare to go in a bullet hell full of challenges. You’ll get the most fun out of it with two players, but the game gives you a fair challenge when playing alone.

    In Seven Deadly Sins Knights of Britannia you will be fighting more with the combat system than against your opponents. It just doesn't work and that’s a pity, because Seven Deadly Sins stays close to its source material.

    Shu
    Shu is a game with a simple but strong core. Unfortunately the extra features often don't do anything or don't work properly. Although the game looks great, its story is very short and the controls suffer from some frustrating bugs. Your money could be better spent on other games.

    Aegis Defenders is a unique and literal mix of platform action and tower defense. The game challenges you with puzzles and ends each level with an attack you have to repel. This makes the game great and entertaining, though it's not perfect.

    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.

    Where Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U left competing titles far behind, the Switch version shatters them completely. Although there isn't a lot of new content, a stable framerate and neat touch controls take the game to a higher level.

    Bayonetta is a sexy and interesting game. If you already played the Wii U-version, then the Switch version will not give you anything new. But if you have not played this version, try the Switch version for an interesting experience you will not see often.

    Capcom really brought it this time, adding a pile of characters, levels and outfits to an already strong game. On top of that there’s a whole new Arcade mode, which brings a nostalgic trip for fans, multiple challenges and an improved training mode.

    UFC 3 is very nice fighting game, but that doesn't mean it is a good wrestling game. The ground game leaves to be desired and really takes down the quality of the game. Overall the look and feel of UFC 3 entirely is still pretty decent.
