    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.

    Expansion The Resistance leaves us with mixed emotions. If it’s not for the zombies story, the DLC wouldn’t be all that special. In the end it’s a matter of personal preference: normal multiplayer or zombies?

    If you haven’t played Dragon Quest Builders yet and own a Nintendo Switch, you want buy the game for this platform.

    We Were Here Too has some nice puzzles which definitely pushes you and your friend to the limits. It just feels almost like you are in a real escape room. However, the game lacks user feedback and has no replay value. Be prepared.

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

    Shadow of the Colossus gives you a fantastic scenario with impressive colossi that become very challenging later on in the game. Nevertheless, smooth gameplay still remains absent with this remake. The game can blow you away at times, but also makes you want to destroy your controller when it doesn’t deliver what you can expect from a good game these days.

    Lost Sphear is a new game from Tokyo RPG Factory. It is decent but has some very old features and therefore 50 euros is way too much.

    This is a sequel to the original Cyber Sleuth game, but it doesn't feel that way. The game offers a new 50+ hour story, a total of over 300 Digimon and a few new elements. But next to that it is exactly the same as the last Digimon game.

    Nine Parchments is beautiful and elaborate. It's also incredibly frustrating and unbalanced.

    Monster Hunter World is already one of the best rpg's of the year. The worlds are stunning and adventurous, the monsters are huge and exciting and the possibility to play together is great.

    The Hidden Ones DLC continues where it left off and it's mostly more of the same, which is excellent if you loved Assassin's Creed Origins. We would have liked to see more variety and more beauty in the region, but it's still a must play for the fans.

    This is by far the best Dragon Ball fighting game. The gameplay is fluid, explosive and fast, just as it should be. The game looks great and offers something for everyone. It is easy to step in for newcomers but hard to master. Simply a must own.

    Rise of the Tomb Kings adds another worthwhile experience to the Total War Warhammer series. The gameplay of the DLC is well balanced in terms of features and units, although the add-on works better during Mortal Empires than the Great Vortex campaign.

    Want to know what happened to Zoe? Here are the answers, in a worthy finale. Though the story Resident Evil 7 is now over, this definitely won’t be the last time we hear from the series.

    This is the best Batman episode so far with in depth conversation between Bruce and John. Also the ending is genius.

    Furi is a great mix of hack and slash with a bullet hell. Where the game performs really great on the action level, the game misses the mark when things get quiet. Still it is a very enjoyable game, but it has its flaws.

    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.

    Road to the Olympics doesn't reinvent the wheel. The core gameplay stays the same, but the focus of this DLC is somewhat different. There is enough new content which makes Road to the Olympics a nice addition, but not more than that.

    If you're able to ignore the flaws in the beta of PUBG you see the potential that's in the game. PUBG is super exciting from the very beginning until the very last end, which makes it one of the best Battle Royale games out there. [Early Access Score = 75]

    Okami HD looks great and is a one of a kind game. If you like the Japanese art and love to puzzle a little bit, this is the game for you.

    Megaton Rainfall delivers a unique VR experience that will make you feel like a superhero. However, graphics are mediocre and without a VR headset the game is definitely not worth it.

    This game is a must to play if you like good stories. The conversations are more than real. It's amazing.

    Doom VFR is a blast to play for every VR owner. The fast-paced action that the series is known for, is translated very well here. Although the adventure isn't that long, overall the experience is wonderful.

    A Hat in Time is not a perfect experience, but it is one of the most lovingly made games this year. If you want more platforming after completing Super Mario Odyssey you should definitely give A Hat in Time a go.
