This fighting game is nice due to all the swords but has not so much content. Therefore it's not a game you will play for month, more for a couple of weeks. Also the story is a bit weak and outdated.

Etherborn is certainly worth a try, although the price tag that is currently attached to the game is too high. 16.99 euros for a game with only five levels is too much of a good thing. Ten euros less would have been a better deal. So if you are looking for a puzzle game with brain teasers and a nice graphic style for that amount of money, then Etherborn is fun to play. Just keep YouTube handy for walkthroughs if you're running out of patience.

Redeemer Enhanced Edition is quite fun to pick up and play for a bit. However, performance issues and an obvious lack of scaling for single-player keeps the game from being anything other than somewhat disappointing.

This game is not as good as perhaps expected. Level design is poor, the main character is not very interesting and the Metroidvania-way of exploring is maybe too difficult. However, the game gets a bit better in the end.

If you've played other entries in the series and just want to experience some cool lore about the world, Yakuza 3 Remaster is the game for you. It's a game all about fanservice, but also the one you can skip if you don't want to retreat familiar waters. If you're new to the series though, this one might not be for you.

If you are looking for a magical co-op puzzlegame, then this is the game for you. This is the most beautiful and the longest entry in the series yet. There are new skills and lots of puzzels to enjoy. Whilst the battles are not so impressive, this is still a game you must have played!

Luigi's Mansion 3 treats the player to a meaty singleplayer adventure, with beautiful environments, a plethora of different enemies and cool puzzles. Afterwards you can even play the game with friends. The fun does get spoiled a bit by a less than ideal camera and clunky controls however. Still, it's a game that can be enjoyed by young and old alike!

Scrat's Nutty Adventure finally gives Scrat his own game. The rodent runs around and collects tons of acorns. But the acorns don't affect the game at all. Next to that the game is way too simple, even for the younger gamers. It primarily focuses on the small starting gamer. Still, Scrat is a hilarious animal that makes you laugh.

With a fun story mode and a ton of minigames there is a lot to love about Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokio 2020. The game is full of fun facts about the event and history that keep you learning as you play. The map could be better and there maybe is too much reading involved, but that doesn't take away from the game in any big way.

Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 is a whole lot better than the remake of the second part. The game looks great and offers tons of romans willing to take a beating. The puzzles are entertaining and keep getting more difficult to challenge you. It is still not in the ballpark of where the SNES games were, but this is a fun game to enjoy together in coop!

While the game doesn't control that great it does have a unique and interesting story. The path is filled with challenges which will keep you busy for a good while. These challenges are fun to overcome but don't line up with the target audience which is a shame.

It might take a while to find your footing with Blacksad, but that's okay. The characters are charming and the story is interesting as well. Unfortunately the game doesn't control that well and the graphics are disappointing as well.

AO Tennis is simply the best tennisgame we have seen in years. Although it looks nog that great, it offers a very solid gameplay and challenges. The game does not feel like an arcadegame, but challenges you with a strong AI. If only all the players were there.

The TakeOver gets its inspiration from the grandmaster Streets of Rage, and does this well. The fighting is smooth and there are a lot of options to make combos. Next to that the game has a few original features like guns that add to the variation. Despite the lack of an online co-op mode this is a game you simply have to play. It is allmost unbelievable all this came from the brain of one man!

Tamarin had one thing going for it: the main character is a very cute monkey. Unfortunately, this is literally the only thing that is good in the game. The game lets you walk around with weapons, shooting all kinds of enemies, but there is no real entertainment. The game becomes boring really quickly and doesn't really know where to take you. 40 euros for this game is simply too much.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a pleasant surprise in a year full of beat 'em ups. This is not just another brawler, but one with an extensive skill tree, different fighting styles, and a lot of fun gameplay. The game is playable in offline or online co-op and in both styles the game works flawlessly. There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing worth mentioning. If you like to fight, buy this game.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 brings a fresh new wind to karting. The game lets you play as your favorite cartoon characters like The Turtles, Ren and Stimpy, and SpongeBob. The racing part of the game is great. You can shoot other drivers with power-ups and protect yourself with them. Besides racing, you can play different modes like the Arena battle, which makes this a complete game for a lot less than the average karting game.

Yakuza Like a Dragon is a must-play for fans of the first hour. Side missions complement the main story in a major way thanks to the utter insanity of some of the stories. You'll need to have some patience though for some of the other mechanics in the game, which is disappointing.

Capcom Arcade Stadium is a really cool collection of games from the past. All of the games can be played together with friends. There really is only one downside and that's the fact you can't play together online.

Famicom Detective Club bundles two games for 60 euros. The fact that these are old games meant only for the Asian market is clearly visible. The dialogues are in Japanese and the games are clearly polished in various aspects. Still, if you like a good story or two and feel the connection with your inner detective (and have a lot of time on your hands) these games scream for you. The writing of Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto only justifies the price even more!
