Toki would have been a much better game if it had a normal save system and some other aspects worked out a bit better. That does not alter the fact that the game itself has enough cool things to offer: challenging gameplay, cool bosses, changing environments and beautiful graphics.

With F1 2019 Codemasters once again succeeded in building further on the foundations they laid down in previous games. The career feels fresh with Lukas and Devon as well as driver transfers. Formula 2 is also a welcome addition to the game.

Super Mario Maker 2 is a remarkable continuation from the original game. This new entry in the series takes the best elements of the previous one and adds a huge number of new elements, modes and styles. The creator mode is larger and deeper, the online multiplayer is just fun; but the story mode lacks on personality. Even though the game is bigger and extensive, it is definitely not the ultimate Mario Maker.

Cadence of Hyrule is one of the best Zelda spin-offs to ever appear on a console. Brace Yourself Games can be proud on this achievement as it manages to combine the music elements of Crypt of the Necrodancer with Zelda.

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.

MotoGP 19 is a big step forward compared to its predecessor. The game has a lot of content to keep you entertained. It’s a shame that there are a few annoying bugs that Milestone will hopefully patch in an update.

Elder Scrolls Online Elsweyr is the best expansion for the MMO yet. The new zone is beautiful, the Necromancer class is excellent and the story is engaging. Although the story does take some notes from other popular media.

Blood & Truth is a perfect example of why virtual reality is still relevant in 2019. With fun run-and-gun gameplay, combined with some thrilling stealth action, the VR-title succeeds in immersing the player in an excellent spy adventure.

Warhammer Chaosbane is a great game if you play together. There are enough classes and ways to build your own playstyle. It has a lack of variation in worlds and enemies and the errors in the multiplayer turn the experience to a sour one.

Bird Game + is a short but charming adventure. Strangely, alle achievements can be unlocked before beating the game, but that's no reason not to pick this one up.

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is not the game for you if you want bombastic graphics. But if you want to shoot enemies online from great distances with a friend, this is the game to play. The game is a bit short and has a few flaws, but the fun is there.

A Plague Tale Innocence is an intense and beautiful tale of Amicia and Hugo De Rune, about bonding and surviving. The solid story of the game combined with the nice level design and gameplay, make for a solid adventure.

The collaboration between id Software and Avalanche Studios has been successful by joining forces with the two forces of the studios. Thanks to id Software, the game has a rock-solid gameplay with various weapons and powers, and with Avalanche Studios' engine, the world has become beautiful, the color splashes off the screen, and there are many vehicles to use. That's why it's such a shame that the storyline is so short and has no surprises of its own, so the lion's share of RAGE 2 comes from the side missions and activities. What remains is a short, but powerful game that secretly could have lasted a lot longer.

The first Smash Ultimate DLC delivers a great fighter with Persona 5’s Joker. His fighting is balanced well even though he’s pretty bad in the air. Luckily Arcane has his back and that’s just one example of the great fanservice this DLC has to offer.
