    It is tough to recommend the Outer Rim expansion, because it doesn't highlight any of Star Wars Battlefront's stronger points. You are basically getting more of the same, and if that is what you are looking for, that is what you will get.

    Wasteland Workshop offers just a small package of content. Most props are a great addition to your settlement, but that's everything positive about the DLC. Taming creatures takes no effort, and the AI is broken.

    Ratchet and Clank is one of the most exciting platform games in the last few years.

    Resident Evil 6 makes a great introduction for newcomers to try the RE games. That being said, besides some graphical improvements there isn't any new content being offered for players who've already played the game.

    Stella Glow turns out to be a very pleasant surprise. The story and characters are written well and while the gameplay isn't very innovative, it's highly addictive. If you like story-based tactical JRPG's, we can recommend you pick up Stella Glow.

    The second episode of The Walking Dead Michonne is disappointing in many ways. A boring story, no connection with the characters and a lot of bugs. Telltale really has to step up its game for the final episode.

    Are you looking for a twin stick coöp shooter, here it is. Assault Android Cactus Review is fun to play and also difficult.

    Enigmatis would've been great for a mobile title to play on the get-go. For a console-based game it lacks quality in voice acting and plot, which is ultimately what a point and click game should focus on, given the absence of ''real'' gameplay.

    The Thieves Guild is one of the missing factors in ESO. Bringing the criminal guild to Tamriel stands for lots of new quests en new gameplay in an completely new area. It sets the tone for future DLC.

    Dark Souls 3 is a great installment in the Souls series. Comprehensive, challenging and immense, the game does its best to impress with every aspect. Being true to the series, however, the game does have the usual technical issues.

    With Episode 5 of the Telltale Minecraft series they are setting up a good base for the next three episodes when it comes to the storyline. All they need to do now is come up with a proper villain, not abandon storylines and ideologies and make the quicktime events interesting and Telltale with have something good on their hands.

    DiRT Rally races to the current-gen consoles. It brings a worthy competitor in a tight market with near perfect handling. Although it lacks content in certain areas, it is a must buy for gamers in need of a challenge.

    Quantum Break is a solid shooter but the game doesn't meet our hopes and expectations. Its story doesn't impress, and the story is rather short.

    Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is a fun game which will put a smile on your face. Don't expect too much of it, all you have to do is expect the fun you'll have with it.

    Even though the game has some cool mechanics in place, the rest of the game is simply average. The technical issues and dumb AI definitely also hurt the overall appeal. This makes the game hard to recommend to anyone but hardcore Heroes fans.

    This unique puzzle game is remade for the PlayStation 4, with hard but fun puzzles and an Indiana Jones like character, you'll be having a lot of fun with the game. Don't expect an AAA-title, just a very fun puzzle game.

    Even though the story in Nights of Azure isn't original, combining it with a lesbian love story and a great battle system works out for the game. Sometimes the cutscenes lack great graphics, but the music and the low budget compensates for these flaws.

    After Need for Speed Undercover the core NFS-games seemed to have become lost glory. This new Need for Speed however marks the return of those core Need for Speed elements and shows that the voice of the fans really is heard by the developers.

    Trackmania Turbo is an ode to the fans of the franchise, who are able to play the best Trackmania game so far on consoles. But how long are you willing to keep playing?

    Just Cause 3 Sky Fortress is a sweet addition to the game. Especially with the Bavarium Wingsuit. Sadly it doesn't take very long before you complete the story and are left with not much else to do again.

    The first add-on got a well made, but short story with an intriguing plot. In addition to this, you are able to build your own mechanical friends! However, Automatron feels unbalanced and is full of known bugs.

    Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition delivers a even better experience than the original. The two new worlds look stunning and the possibility to fast travel is excellent.

    Action Henk is a fun, quick game and easy to control, but difficult to master precisely. It reminds us of Trials, with a good but frustrating trial and error system. However, after a while you'll get tired of Henk for a day or two.

    Samurai Warriors 4: Empires is a good step in the right direction, with a lot more depth and strategics thanks to the Politics Phase. But the gameplay itself is still the same compared to the original and the graphics have not improved either.

    This is a good game that combines first-person shooter gameplay with RPG elements. It's a though game, but short. However it has a lot of replay value.

    Hyrule Warriors Legends is more than a port of the Wii U version. It has a lot more content and offers a lot of fanservice. But it gets repetitive pretty quick. Still, this Musou is worth playing.

    Mortal Kombat XL is the total package for newcomers, with a lot of content and fighters included. The first day fans however pay a hefty price to get all the new content.

    Pokkén Tournament is a fresh new fighting game with our favorite pocket monsters. The game is light on content, but the game makes up for it with tight gameplay and great visuals during battles. Like any great fighting game: easy to learn, hard to master.

    Earth Defense Force 4.1 is quite a disappointment given it's a remaster. A full-price release is far from ideal for this game and things like the mediocre framerate and graphics don't work in its favour either. But if you make the step to play Earth Defense Force 4.1 co-op with your friends, it makes for a fun-level not many games have been able to reach.
