At least you don't have to make one choice and that's whether you should buy the game or not. Horizon Zero Dawn is a fantastic game and potentially the best game of the year! It's accessible, but challenging looks truly phenomenal, and offers you dozens of hours of fun!

PlayGround Games has without a doubt outdone itself in this fourth installment of Horizon. The location suggests you'll end up in a drizzly place, but the game has more under its hood than you think possible. The map is huge and offers you numerous in addition to a varying landscape all kinds of cool races and activities.

Everyone thought it couldn't be even better, but Rocksteady did it. Batman Arkham Knight is the last and also the best game in the series! Everything has been worked out down to the last detail and the game plays wonderfully away. This is an absolute must-have for your collection. The only thing we can say about Arkham Knight is: go and buy the game!

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is a complete game you tend to get from Nintendo. The graphics got a good brush-up and the controls are adjusted. However, there are still some small issues the game works smoothly. Next to that, the game has some new missions and you can play the entire game in a worthy split-screen co-op. This is a must-buy for every Switch owner, just because of the great co-op mode.

Hades is a near-perfect Roguelike. The game looks great, plays smoothly, and offers tons of variation. There is no boredom in this game that lets you escape, die and repeat over and over again. You just want to reach the end and after that, you want to do it again and again. There are a few minor details that could have been better, but it doesn't get much better than this.

With The New Colossus, MachineGames has created a very complete game, in which everything has been processed unabashedly. The stereotypical characters are brutal, the humor is sharp and the story offers depth but remains nice and simple. In terms of gameplay, the game offers you the same as the previous part: shooting Nazis in the face!

Metroid Dread is the return of Samus we waited for almost twenty years. The closing chapter of Samus' adventure is intended to kickstart the era of the Switch OLED and it does it with a bang. The game looks delicious and plays seamlessly smooth. The game has some minor flaws but feels nearly perfect as you search the depths of ZDR and need to flee the E.M.M.I. to save your life. This is simply a must-buy for everyone that owns a Switch!

But with this huge beautiful open world rich in new enemies, that's suddenly crystal clear. Graphically, the game is supreme with the simple touches, and apart from that, it simply takes some getting used to the new way of playing. Kratos is back and that means that there will be plenty of blood flowing. And all while my son fights by your side!

Never Alone, or Kisima Innitchuna, is a game that is genius in almost every way. The Indie game offers you graphical splendor, insight into a different culture, a nice quiet atmosphere and very good gameplay. The unfortunate thing about the game is that there is not much challenge in the puzzles, although it is a bit tough sometimes.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a refreshing mix between Assassin's Creed and Breath of the Wild. The cartoon style gives it a unique look, while the game combines Greek mythology with puzzles, battling epic enemies, and next-gen looks. The open world is one to remember, but the narration is one to forget at times. All said and done, this is a game that is not perfect, but deserves a spot between the big releases and definitely a spot in your console!

Assassin's Creed Valhalla brings the third party to next-gen and a party it is. Take on the story of Eivor and travel to Brittania to conquer the land piece by piece. The game looks amazing and contains new RPG elements like building your settlement, pillaging, and a huge new skill tree to strengthen yourself. The story is compelling at that, but the action pushes the assassination to the background. The game suffers from a few minor bugs, but nothing too serious. This is simply a must-play from day one!

Resident Evil Village is a deliciously gruesome game. Ethan Winters gets it again and once more has to go through hell to save his family. This time no crazy family, but a bigger setting that gives you more freedom. Although the game is somewhat linear initially, the level of horror continues to rise but this time combined with more puzzles and exploring. The enemies are terrifying and next to that survival is truly back with the RE4-inventory system.

Little Nightmares 2 offers a fresh adventure with Mono while keeping Six one of the main protagonists. The game yet again successfully combines horror, suspense, and puzzle/platforming action in a sweet mix, you will never get enough of. The new elements like coop gameplay with Six give some fresh feeling to the game, but also make you wonder. Why is it not possible to play with a friend? In the meantime, the trial and error can frustrate you, but all over the game will make you want even more of this!

Huntdown is a tribute to eighties movies and games. It combines the action from titles as Streets of Rage and movies like The Warriors and Last Action Hero in a side-scrolling shooter, which is best enjoyed in co-op. That way the game really gets to shine and entertain you with all its glory. Shooting hundreds of enemies in four worlds never was so much fun together, even if there are a few things off balance at some moments.

Sucker Punch has the honor of bringing us the last PS4 exclusive with Ghost of Tsushima. The game delivers an immense adventure of more than 30 hours, based on a true war. The battles, the environment, the animation, all look amazing. Still, it misses an original touch in its gameplay. Next to that, the battles tend to be the same once you get the hang of the stances.

Nintendo parties along with Mario Party Superstars. The game features a whole heap of content from other Mario Party games to bring us 100 minigames across five cool boards. It's unfortunate that there are only five with so many boards to choose from. The same goes for the characters in the game. However there is enough, you simply miss a few. Still, if you are looking for a party, online or offline, this is the game to go for!

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a great adventure that's great to play. The colorful design brings this 3D Kirby adventure to life, while additions like the mouthful powers add are a fun new twist to the gameplay. It's a shame the co-op is a bit poor due to player 2 not getting the full range of powers. Nonetheless, this is a Kirby game that is worth your time!

After 30 years the game proves to be relevant still. Of course with a few tweaks like better graphics and a completely overhauled menu to make the game feel more inviting and balanced. There even is a new gameplay element added to it! It is not the perfect remake, but one you should try!

Although the loading times do not really throw a spanner in the works, Capcom must do something about it. In addition, it would testify to fan service if the game is enriched with the fighters who are still missing. Just like the previous edition of the game, the Champion Edition is worth buying, unless you already have blisters and (digitally) bleeding knuckles. Then you have probably already played the most with your in-game money.

Man of Medan is the first of The Dark Pictures. The game has all the elements of horror to keep you up at night. Still there are some flaws in the acting, but nothing serious. IF you want to get scared of a game, this is a must buy.
