Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Review is a fast paced racer and a great remaster. There is a lot of content next to the somewhat short campaign. Also online racing is added. The game is huge and comes racing around the corner with a lot of fun.

Judgment is the best Yakuza game ever...except for the fact that, formally, it is not a Yakuza game. Still, there are enough new gameplay elements to lure new players in, and enough old references for returning fans. Don't miss it.

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!

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.

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!

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a joy to play, particularly in co-op, as two players can spot more secrets than one. However: co-op is also the game's greatest weakness as everything revolves around player one: it's a dated approach to co-op compared to newer games that treat all players as equal participants. Thankfully, improved graphics and great additional content make this new version of Return to Dream Land truly "Deluxe".

This game is so much fun for almost everybody. It looks great and is nice to play. You would enjoy this much as you love Mario Kart games.

If an entirely new game were to come out starring Kaito, that would be more than welcome. Yagami and Kaito may not be Kiryu, but every Yakuza enthusiast also walks away with these games. They are two interesting characters of which many more stories may be released. It's a bit of digging into the pouch, but then you also have something. Just keep in mind that the bad guy is quickly known, unless you play with blinders on. Yet there is still plenty to do afterwards!

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.

If you are looking for a co-op game, but don't have anything in mind yet, Moving Out 2 is highly recommended! And if you like Overcooked's games, these are also games that you will certainly enjoy.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a great game thanks to the amount of content and the great coop experience. You just need to take your time when playing coop. The bosses could've been more challenging as well, but the Poochy-levels are great and make up for it.

If you have finished playing, you can play the game again with, for example, another ship. There are three to choose from. Although you might not be better off doing that right away, because the soundtrack is rather uplifting and intense, which is good, by the way. And it fits this type of game. Real negatives are therefore not present, except for the relatively short playing time. With an hour you can blast yourself to the credits. But hey then you are a beautiful experience richer. Thank you developer Mebius.

For the rest, few negatives can be noticed about Sonic Mania Plus. If you have a little bit of a warm heart for the hedgehog and aren't averse to a bite of your nostalgia, you should give Sonic Mania Plus a chance. 30 euros is not much for such a game and it looks nice in the closet.

Do you play Gears of War for single player or multiplayer? Probably a combination of both. In any case, the fact is that for 40 euros you get a top title that offers a lot of hours of entertainment if you play alone or want to do co-op. We think of that multiplayer as a dessert to a masterpiece.

This game is absolutely a surprise this year! It combines puzzling elements with horror and the atmosphere is getting more and more dark. It's a short title but definitely fun to play.

For now, the question is: is the collection worth a purchase? Yes. A very thick fat yes even. The series is nicely polished and still fun to play.

Still, it doesn't take away from the fact that Inside is a game that's been one of the best released this year. There are fantastic puzzles in the game and the game is for the most part a lot of fun and addictive to play. If you like Limbo, you should play it too.
