The charm of the game, however, is really in the solo experience and the main gameplay. All those mini-games are not interesting enough to invite your friends especially and have fun together for an entire afternoon.

With this first set of DLC Rebellion kicks off the Season Pass in a stylish way. New characters, new weapons and a free new Horde map to enjoy. The most important thing is off course the new Story mission Terror Lab. It offers everything fans could hope for en sets the bar high for things to come. Still, the pack is nog flawless. The Horde map is an existing map and the Sailor doesn't add up to the other characters.

The feeling that id Software really looked at what made the first DOOM games good is nice. With DOOM Eternal, they have created a game that is not only good for the current standard of games, but also looks back very respectfully at what made the past so good. The combination of these makes for a success formula that we will hopefully see more of in the future. There are more ways than ever before to take on the mortally challenged army.

Nioh 2 is a challenging game which either makes you blood boil or makes oyu incredible happy. There is no in between. The game is bigger, better and bolder than it's predecessor with more enemies, more regions and more challenges along the way. It is a must have for those who like a challenge and a must avoid for those who can't stand losing. Because you will lose a lot eventually.

Still, it's cool that there's so much to discover. In essence, Animal Crossing New Horizons is still what you expect from such a game. Yet so much news is added to the recipe that you will put many hours into it again. Like previous installments, Animal Crossing New Horizons is definitely a title where you'll once again easily go through hundreds of hours of gameplay with a grin from ear to ear. You return with some regularity. One day hours, other days a few minutes. Just to stay connected to the game, its inhabitants and the many possibilities it offers.

Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions is beautifully crafted and brings hours of puzzling fun for those times you're fed up with killing and shooting. Difficulty is adequate and can be raised for the die-hard puzzlers. The resulting glass-in-lead windows are a sight. Sadly, the music is not diverse enough to keep entertaining, and repeats often. Puzzlers don't have that much choice, but won't be disappointed by Glass Masquerade 2.

While Warlords of New York brings new content for players to enjoy, this is not the most original piece of content that Massive delivered. The main quest of freeing Manhattan is the well-known Ubisoft formula repeated. The four warlords in contrast are fun mini bosses to fight against, each introducing a small but fun gimmick. The main antagonist, Aaron Keener, on the other end falls completely flat. This first paid expansion for The Division 2 is a safe rollercoaster ride for players, but that's all.

A game that pulls out all the stops to provide perfect competition against the big titles, just by being completely different. Nowadays, games just want to improve, look more realistic, have a lifelike appearance or a completely unique style. The arrival of this classic to the Nintendo Switch has once again proved that not everything is about beautiful looks.

EQQO is a fun puzzlegame that lets you enjoy a strong story about a boy and an egg. The game features more than 30 levels, but takes only four hours to complete. The puzzles are not difficult except a few of them. Because of this the game never makes you think too long before proceding through a level. Still EQQO is a game you should definitely try!

One Punch Man has made a succesfull transition to the gaming-world. The satirical approach to superhero Manga is conserved, while many of the recognizable heroes and villains make an appearance. Fights are diverse and mostly work pretty well. Recovery from getting hit doesn't always work well. The invincible Saitama has been incorporated into the gameplay in a unique way, that work really well. The mandatory sidequests to progress the story can become a drag.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX is a remake from the Red & Blue Rescue Team games from the GBA and Nintendo DS respectively. It's a title full of nostalgia for those who played and loved the original, but seeing how this game was originally a handheld it might be a bit lacking for some who are looking for a brand new Switch game. We recommend playing the free demo first to see if this is something you want to spend money on.

Samurai Shodown is a fun game for the Nintendo Switch, but also seems to be a game that gets old quickly. In particular, the storylines of the various characters who run the same at certain moments can be a drawback. If you are looking for a fun, fast and at the same time slow fighting game that really gets you excited, this is a must buy for you.

This brain trainer will keep you occupied for a couple of weeks thanks to the many, many missions. Unfortunately there isn't anything new to experience even though it's fun to learn with the game. Switch Lite owners may want to hold off on buying this one since they can't play that much due to the limitations of the Switch Lite.

Hunt Showdown is a thrilling and original take on the battle royale genre. Hunt and be hunted for the best rewards whilst walking through the lands of 19th century Louisiana. Despite some minor technical flaws, the first-person shooter succeeds in delivering a both exciting and terrifying co-op experience.

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.

Dreams is a game that has a lot of potential in the future for both the creators and the players. The large amount of lessons are easy to follow for the creators and there will only be more fun in the future for the people who love to play. In addition, Dreams' single-player campaign is a must if you've bought the game due to the special playstyle. The only thing that could make this game even better is multiplayer and more cool creations from the Dreams community!

Darksiders Genesis brings a new perspective tot the franchise. The fourth horseman is not alone. He brought his brother War for some co-op fun! The game is the most fun together, chopping up enemies and solving the puzzels. But alone you can navigate through hell and the story as well. The levels are not that special, but the fighting makes up for it. There are tons of moves and skills to unlcock to keep you playing way beyond the 15 hours the story takes to complete

While the DLC takes some time to find its footing, there are some interesting tidbits to be found. Unfortunately, the adventure comes to a close just as things get exciting. Fans can rejoice though thanks to the added boss fights that offer up a whole new challenge.

The Sims 4 Tiny living is a fun and unique expansion package from EA that brings something more than a simple expansion package with some extra furniture. Tiny living is a challenge for both players and Sims and brings many fun aspects to the game. Tiny living is also great to combine with other expansion packs with, in our opinion, student life in particular.
