    Titan Souls knows exactly what it is: a love song to boss battles in video games, combined with a unique combat mechanism. A few frustrations and the short length however keep it from becoming pure greatness.

    Tropico 5 on PS4 is just as fun as the PC version. The controls are surprisingly intuitive and the gameplay is addictive. Viva la revolucion!

    State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition is a nice opportunity for gamers who haven't yet played the original. Unfortunately the game still suffers from small glitches and the graphics aren't great. Only recommended to the die-hard zombie fans out there.

    Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China tries to kill the competition and has some fantastic graphics and gameplay. But we are not sure if we can call it a complete Assassin’s Creed game for a console. An iOS or Android version would've been a better choice.

    Although RIDE offers an authentic driving experience and a good selection of vehicles, the technique, visuals and circuits are quite disappointing.

    Out of the Park Baseball 16 is once again a fine baseball sim, although it misses the ball on several points. The learning curve for new players is huge and a good tutorial is absent, ratings of players don't seem to matter too much.

    Why is this game not available for consoles? It's so much fun! Good combination of puzzles, humor and nice levels.

    This Kirby game looks amazing and for kids it is fun to give them the feeling that they can paint and play at the same time. However it's annoying to use the stylus through he whole game. So therefore it's a bit disappointing.

    Mortal Kombat X is a great game which offers a lot of modes. The Fatalities and Brutalities are gory as ever and you can enjoy the game for hours. Too bad it has microtransactions and sidetracks from its roots.

    Rockstar told us the PC-version would be the ultimate version and they were right. GTA 5 on PC looks incredible and it works almost perfectly. Sadly you might still encounter some bugs and glitches in GTA Online that you already saw on the consoles.

    Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is the definitive version of Dark Souls II. The new enemy placement and lore give veterans a good reason to play through it again and for newcomers it is a great way to experience an already great game.

    Axiom Verge is so much more than a retro throwback to the days of Metroid. It builds on this formula and adds new ways to play these games with clever guns and game mechanics.

    Although it offers nothing new, Söldner X-2 Prototype is a great little schmup for PS Vita. The (60fps!) graphics are nice and it plays just like you'd expect. A little repetitive but the extra challenges do add replay value to an otherwise short game.

    Toukiden: Kiwami is a decent JRPG with some Dynasty Warriors elements, with great monsters and an interesting lore. However, the formula stays the same and you'll be slashing a lot of monsters in the world.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is a must-have for fans of the franchise. There's a boatload of characters, the combat is refreshing and the soundtrack is epic. Unfortunately the graphics are not up to par and there are some minor flaws.

    Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition is a very cool bundle, consisting of: the game, Save Churchill DLC, multiplayer maps and more. Worth it if you haven't bought Sniper Elite 3 yet.

    From Software reinvents the gameplay we love from Dark Souls with Bloodborne, and delivers the best game on the PlayStation 4 yet. Except for the loading times there is no reason not to give this amazing game a try.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3D makes the promise of the New 3DS' power a reality. It's marvelous to play such a huge game on a handheld, although it could have been a bit sharper. Nonetheless, this game is the same blockbuster as it was years before.

    Why it took so long is a mystery, but OlliOlli manages to still be a fun game on the Wii U. The steep learning curve might drive some gamers away, but people looking for a challenge won't be disappointed.

    If you're a fan of twin-stick shooters and sci-fi you'll like Helldivers. If not, you'd be better off trying out the five-year-old game Dead Nation.

    3D After Burner II is an old game but polished to something brand new. With all the customisation options and the colourful levels, 3D After Burner II is something every arcade fan has to play.

    Super Stardust Ultra isn't that super. It's a fun remake for the people who didn't play the original eight years ago, but for those who have, the formula is the same. With little added extras in this version, Super Stardust Ultra doesn't hold up that well.

    Although Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters offers an intricate RPG ghost hunting game, the visual novel aspect is boring at times. The lack of tutorials is surprising, especially regarding the unique interactive "emotion wheel".

    Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a fun and deep JRPG with loads and loads of content. Add to that fantastic music and graphics, a cool setting and over a hundred hours of gameplay. If only the story was a little more interesting.

    Resident Evil Revelations 2 is absolutely great. The Raid Mode is very addictive, and the Episodes offer a compelling story. Some minor graphics flaws and simple enemies only seem to improve this nostalgic experience.

    Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is quite the handsome collection for gamers who haven't experienced Borderlands before. It's smoother, better and more beautiful than its predecessors on the older generation.

    Sid Meier's Starships lacks depth and good graphics, but it's a fun turn-based strategic game that can be played for hours.

    The great combination of real-time history, action, fantasy and strategy form a fast playing game with chaotic battles, which sometimes lack persuasion by cut scenes.

    The Giana Sisters are back with an Directowl's Cut of their Twisted Dreams adventure. The game is good for more than 20 hours of entertainment. The game plays fluidly and the worlds are original, but there are some small flaws. Still, the game rocks.
