    For a product that started out as a joke, Hatoful Boyfriend is a surprisingly nice game. It will not take too much time, but it is fun to play with because of the absurdity and jokes.

    The port Bayonetta on Wii U has the same timeless fighting fun as the game had when it came out on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The controls with GamePad are very annoying, but the graphics seem better.

    It is lovely, cutesy and a bit childish, but we do not care. Level-5 has got us hooked on Fantasy Life. We love the unexpected situations, the sweet life in Reveria and the combination of talking, fighting and playing mini-games is tons of fun.

    The Golf Club is a game that relies on friends and the social aspects of gaming. The golfing itself is hardly interesting, as there is nothing to collect and to be fair: a bit of a boring sport like golf does not get much nicer by playing The Golf Club.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor plays heavenly thanks not only to the stolen gameplay system but the interesting never-before-seen Nemesis system. The story will certainly please fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings thanks to the interquel nature of the story. It’s just a shame that the characters from the original Tolkien novels that make an appearance are sorely underused and therefore pointless. Furthermore, the two maps are fairly small, and certainly so when compared to other games with an open world design.

    Forza Horizon 2 is perfect in many ways. Visually it is awesome, the details are awesome, the music is awesome and the Drivatars are awesome. That plus lots of different modes makes us forget the lags.

    Its overwhelming atmosphere and experience make FIFA 15 one of the best sports games in recent years. Hundreds of new animations emphasize the progress EA Sports made with FIFA 15. After the somewhat disappointing edition last year, the team strikes back with an amazing footie that every self-respecting soccer fan should buy.

    EA delivers a good American Football game with Madden 15. The developer and publisher offer a lot of small changes with the new title, like improved defending and additions to the playcalling, but all together manage to improve the game dramatically.

    Hyrule Warriors has an attractive and well executed Zelda-skin, but the repetitive Warriors gameplay and lackluster co-op functionalities make this a less-than-successful spin-off.

    With more than 100 playable characters to choose from and an enhanced fighting system, the new Naruto game is more addictive and diverse than ever. An absolute must have for every Naruto fan.

    It doesn't matter if you're a Minecraft-veteran or a total noob: the Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is just as addicting as all of it's predecessors. A larger world and higher resolution only adds to the experience, making this the best console version out there.

    Although Destiny is a great game, we expected it to be a bit bigger. Nonetheless, it plays amazingly, has some beautiful planets and we look forward to the raids in the future.

    Starting The Sims 4 after years of The Sims 3 will definitely make you wish for an open world again. The Sims behave more realistically, but after two generations you are pretty much done with all functions and you start to feel how limited The Sims 4 is. Let's hope for some good expansion packs.

    CounterSpy is an interesting stealth-game, with a mix between 2D- and 3D-gameplay. The graphical style and music top this amazing, little game off.

    Hohokum is a really relaxing game, with brightly colored worlds and soothing music, but people looking for a challenge are at the wrong address with Hohokum.

    Frustrating and fun, these are the two main words to describe the experience you have with Surgeon Simulator. Now with Surgeon Simulator: Anniversary Edition you have the full Surgeon 'simulation' experience that is currently on offer for PlayStation 4.

    Lethal League is a very creative brawler that's easy to learn. The fitting soundtrack and unusual way of fighting make it a very fun game to play.

    The ending is finally here and it was worth the wait. With five different endings your decisions really matter. It is amazing to have that choice and to be able to look into your own heart for the ending that your Clementine deserves.

    The PC version of Dead Rising 3 is the same game as on Xbox One, but with better graphics and a higher frame rate. However, you need a high end PC to get the most out of the game, which makes this version interesting for a select group of gamers.

    This is a complete Micro Machines-rip off, but it does have some fun race gameplay and cute circuits. The multiplayer is a bit of a downer as there are not much racers online, but the single-player is definitely an awesome challenge.

    The biggest reason to get this game is co-op, either online or offline. Especially if you own a next-gen console, as this game looks great and has much more depth than most next-gen games.

    Risen 3: Titan Lords is a great game, but it is a bit short on story and depth. If you are into RPG’s, please take the plunge for a few hours and see if this is your cup of tea. Combat has been improved so Risen-fans will be happy.

    This is not the biggest game ever, but the price is not too big either. This game will take you about six to seven hours and there is some additional gameplay, so it is definitely worth trying.

    Sacred 3 is (sorry for our language) a big f you when it comes to the fans. This is not a real Sacred game, this is a repetitive and boring game. Keen Games, you have been way too lazy on this one.

    Hopefully you are a tough one, because Siesta Fiesta is not an easy game. This Breakout-look-a-like has original challenges and looks great. It sounds like LocoRoco when you listen to the soundtrack, but as that franchise stopped long ago, we are excited for those funny voices to be (sort of) back.

    Warhammer 40.000: Carnage is the ideal game for a quick play. When you are waiting on the train, you can easily play a level. The diversity in the toughness of the game is interesting and can get you special armor.

    Road Not Taken is a pretty challenging puzzle game that especially fans of roguelike games will love. It is too bad that dying is often not in your own control.

    Tales of Xillia 2 for the PlayStation 3 is a great sequel to Tales of Xillia, with a better story that has a more mysterious vibe than the first one, triggering you to continue playing until the end. The battle system has gotten more depth with the new weapon weaknesses, but also gained some flaws with an overpowered protagonist and a somewhat confusing leveling system.

    Metro: Redux offers you two beautiful shooters: Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. The games have a good vibe, a nice atmosphere, it's totally something else than the next Call of Duty or Battlefield. Actually the story of the main character Artyom is way more interesting.

    There is finally a great classic role-playing game for the pc, and we love it. Thanks to Kickstarter's funds Larian Studio's has made a game that everybody will remember. Despite some unhandy mistakes Divinity is the RPG you should buy this year.
