    Skylanders Imaginators is a worthy sequel which brings a lot to the table. Despite some shortcomings, it is a worthy followup in the popular franchise.

    Headmaster VR gives you a new interesting way of training in heading a football. The ball's movement and timing of the headers is quite realistic. Add some humor to the game and you have a really fun game that will keep you busy for a while.

    Job Simulator is a really fun game that shows off 4 typical human jobs in a year 2050 setting. Fulfilling assignments is satisfying however the game is guiding you way too much to keep it interesting. But the humor keeps you attached and going.

    Mafia 3 feels like an unfinished product. It has a bunch of potential, but fails to deliver. Mafia 3 simply cannot live up to the hype. Unfortunately, the good does not outweigh the bad.

    VR Worlds opens the world of virtual reality with 5 different games. It shows the possibilities the PlayStation VR offers to gamers and the gaming industry. However most of the games are quite simple and monotone. The London Heist is a big plus.

    Tumble VR builds on the surprisingly good game Tumble on the PS3. With 70 very diverse puzzles with increasing skill levels the game is far from dull. The VR adds an other dimension and will keep young and old busy for a while.

    Until Dawn Rush of Blood perfectly shows what the PlayStation VR is capable of. It brings you on an extremely terrifying and interesting ride, where there is only one thing you want to do and that is to survive.

    NHL keeps doing the same thing every year and that is a good thing. They have a strong formula that works which they keep interesting by adding new game modes and perfecting the game even more.

    XCOM 2 on consoles looks and feels almost as great as the pc version. The only thing is that the custcenes stutter somethimes and the loading times are a bit long. Nevertheless this is a game you must play. Especially if you like a challenge.

    Gears of War 4 delivers a familiar gameplay experience, while still feeling fresh and new. Although the campaign has its flaws, the story stays interesting. Together with the new and improved Horde mode and multiplayer, Gears of War 4 is a blast to play.

    Mario Party returns to 3DS with Mario Party Star Rush. The game offers lots of fun to be had with friends due to various game modes and mini games. No more waiting for your turn either.

    Is the Wii U dead? Not by a long shot. Paper Mario Color Splash is good for adults and for kids. The game offers a nice combination of action, RPG and adventure.

    Children Of Arkham is great for anyone who is into Batman or Telltale, or both. The story gets deeper and it focuses more on Bruce as a person, which is refreshing. However, the episode suffers from framerate drops and the QTE's still aren't great.

    Rise Of Iron offers players enough new content to stay interested. The new PvE missions, strikes, and raid are fun to play through. If you're into Destiny, Rise Of Iron is definitely worth your while.

    Sonic Boom Fire and Ice isn't a bad game. It is a short one, however. The fact that the game doesn't have much to offer in terms of content holds the game back quality-wise.

    The Tomorrow Children is despite its promising setting a dull game. It's technically a Communism simulator in which you must spend (in-game) money to even buy the tools to get the job done.

    FIFA 17 is the best next-gen soccer game to date. That's partly because of the new Engine, which performs absolute miracles.

    BioShock The Collection combines the three 2K Games for a reasonable price. On top of that, the games are polished and upgraded to the standards of today. And that makes the games feel like new.

    Forza Horizon 3 is as much fun as it is beautiful. Australia steals the show with its diverse landscapes, while there are loads of events to take part in. With minor improvements here and there, Forza Horizon 3 is a worthy successor to the older games.

    The final episode of Minecraft Story Mode is a mixed one. The standalone adventures are a great addition to the series, but with its open ending, we're left in the dark with where to go next. And Telltale probably feels the same.

    Armello is a great board game. You can put an amazing amount of hours into this game seeing there are varying ways you can win a match. However, on a certain moment the board will be full of enemies and what it takes to kill them is a bit annoying sometimes.

    Attack on Titan is a great game, especially for fans of the anime. The game offers fluid, fast-paced gameplay mixed with a great story. It contains enough depth and fans will not be disappointed.

    NBA 2K17 is the best basketball game ever. The wonderful graphics, realistic MyCareer mode, extensive MyGM, the new and better dribbling system and the balanced MyTeam make the game the best in the series so far.

    While ReCore does some things right, it also fails to deliver on other fronts. The platforming in the game is excellent, and clearing dungeons with your Corebot friends is fun. However, the dull combat and technical problems ruin most of the fun.

    Ian's Eyes is a game where you play as a guide dog to get your master, the 8-year old and blind Ian, to safety. Besides from the concept, every other aspect makes you wish you would see everything from Ian's point of view.

    Master of Orion is very similar to its original game from 1993. The remake looks and sounds stunning but besides the new look, Master of Orion is too simple and lacks innovation. Fans of the game will most likely love the remake, but those who love the sci-fi genre won’t find this game refreshing or new.

    PES 2017 is another step in the right direction. Konami thus capitalizes further on their strong formula. While not everything is perfect, the core gameplay is really on point: a real joy for lovers of football games.

    Dragon Quest 7 Fragments of the Forgotten Past for Nintendo 3DS is a great Turn-based RPG. The game doesn't set itself apart from other RPGs, but with the iconic art style, it doesn't have to.

    Verdun is not your average shooter, it focuses more on the realistic side of war and teamwork is a very important aspect of the game. Therefore it will most likely appeal to a different public than games like Call of Duty or Battlefield.

    Deus Ex GO follows the footsteps of Lara Croft GO and Hitman GO and does certainly not disappoint in that regard. The puzzles are tough, players get new levels every week and the level editor is promising. Deus Ex GO is simply an ideal puzzle game.
