Final Fantasy VIII remastered looks better than the original in a lot of ways. While the game deserved much more love than it got, The story is great and the there are options for newcomers to make things easier. Worth it to check out.

Blair Witch makes you feel desperately lost in the forest at times, while giving you a new story in the series. It starts out well with a good tension, but this dims down a bit later on. Luckily only to build up to a scary ending. A good game to play in between the blockbusters of the fall.

The Stretchers is a fun game when you play it together. If you play alone the controls will annoy you within a half hour. WIth only 4 hours of gameplay it's somewhat short, but the element of score makes you want to play missions again and again. For only 20 euros this is a game to try in between the bigger releases.

Lydia is a game with two faces. One face tells you a compelling story about the heavy subject of alcoholism from the perspective of a child. The other face is a game that is short and doesn't keep the pace how it should. As a package it offers an interesting hour to spend, especially for the very low price it comes at.

Sonic Frontiers is a bold new move for our favourite hedgehog. The open worlds give a sense of freedom and there is a lot to do. Unfortunately the most of it is the mandatory collecting of a lot of stuff to progress through the game. The controls feel good, but at higher speeds they won't always work and the camera is a total disaster. This makes the game way less enjoyable than it should be.

Due to this lack, The Centennial Case is therefore not recommended for the full price of 50 euros. Now it's the hypotheses that make you think before you point out a culprit, but if the puzzling around it had been just a little more exciting, then this game would have come out much stronger. All the other elements in the game are very well worked out and will not get bored for a moment. With an offer, this is therefore an absolute must for anyone who loves a good mystery.

Wonder Boy Collection is a cool collection of four games. The games are all unique for their time and thus have something to add. Although one of the games has not aged well and one other has just gotten a remake last year, the collection is still one to play. It will give you tons of hours of gameplay!

No Straight Roads is a rock game that delivers in terms of variation. At least in the levels and the different boss fights. In terms of enemies, the game lacks a few miles and the dialogues of the game tend to get a little annoying because of the screaming main character. Still, this is a game you should definitely play. For just under 40 euros you get six hours of entertaining gameplay full of colors and a very strong soundtrack!

Skully is a platformer that challenges and entertains you. The game lets you die a lot, but never in an unfair way. The game's physics are always on point which pushes you to keep an eye on the little skull all the time. Solve puzzles with three other characters and roll, jump, bash and dash your way to the lairs of four gods in this indie game.

Kirby Fighters 2 delivers an upgrade from the original but still lacks depth. there are enough characters, but in fact, they are all the same more or less. The attacks are similar for every character for instance. Still, there is enough to do in the game. most of the characters, levels, and outfits need to be unlocked and the story is quite long. Just because of that the game is fun to play for the price of twenty euros.

Disney Illusion Island is an entertaining game, whether you play alone or with up to four friends. The platforming action is smooth and flawless from the start and you don't even miss defeating enemies. The only cons here are the small screen of the Switch and the little flaws in the co-op mode.

God Eater 3 does a lot of things right, but misses marks as is goes along. Youu have a lot of options and skills and the battles you fight against huge monsters are epic. But there are only a few of these monsters.

Devil May Cry 5 is a fun new hack and slash entry in the series, but it doesn't deliver enough refreshment. This makes the action sometimes feel like you have been there before. But what a lovely place to be kicking demons' back to hell.

Pawarumi is one of those original concepts that tries to do something different. The rock, paper, scissors concept is cool, but sometimes confusing. Still, it gives players a great challenge and keeps you on edge at all times.

Life is Strange 2 is a worthy sequel to both Life is Strange and Before the Storm. The game can't compete with either of them, but makes for a good third game. The story of Sean and Daniel is compelling and keeps you interested. Although there is a quiet episode in the middle of the story and not everything makes the impact you expect.

Despite the fact that Chocobo GP looks nice and the many characters are original with unique abilities and own vehicles, the game is otherwise mainly borrowed from the other tracers. Fortunately, there is good borrowing and all the elements present are well worked out. The game only lacks levels and that will eventually cause a flat tire, just before the game overtakes the competitors.

Fairy Tail is finally on consoles and PC with a full-fledged RPG. The fanservice in this one is great for everyone. The fights are over the top with all the magic happening everywhere and the world takes you to a lot of different places. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of different enemies and the guild board missions are all similar after a while. Still, the game invites you to explore everything until you reach the spectacular ending and then some!

Shmup Collection bundles three unique shoot-em-ups in one collection. The three games are very different from each other but have one thing in common: They make you sweat bullets. Two of the three games are remastered, but one only got ported to the Switch. Next to that two of the games are short. Luckily the unique elements make you come back for more time after time. If your heart beats faster with bullet hell games, this is the collection you want.

Immortals Fenyx Rising A New God DLC focuses on the trials from the Greek gods but it could be more than just this. The mount from the main game almost got forgotten and the fights get little to no attention. Still, A New God offers 10 hours of extra puzzle-gameplay next to the main game. The puzzles are much more challenging than those in the main game too. Only for this fact, the content is a must-have for puzzle fanatics that wanted more. The fighters will have to wait for the other DLC packs to release.

The Pathless is a really entertaining game from the creators of Abzû. The game lets you explore a vast world with a huntress and her eagle. Saving the world is no terrible job since the world is truly amazing, but the lack of enemies and the lack of unlockables don't really invite you to do. Where everything in the game is balanced really good from the puzzles to the boss fights, you get the feeling something is missing eventually. The game is great but could be much, much more than this.
