Summerset has a tough challenge to follow in the footsteps of Morrowind. But the expansion delivers with an exciting storyline, an interesting new order to join, loads of new content and a beautiful island. We only hoped the island would be bigger.

State of Decay 2 has an impressive open world that comes to life in many ways, but lacks a sense of purpose which makes it boring. It’s a shame the game is filled with bugs because the strategic options are a great way to make play sessions unique.

Moss is a fantastic game despite an imperfect ending. The fantastic protagonist Quill, great gameplay and clever puzzles make Moss an experience to remember.

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!

Total War Arena is a very different game compared to other Total War-games, but with its fast and tactical gameplay and ten versus ten players it's a good game in its own right. Unfortunately, it's near impossible to keep playing for free and leaves a sour taste.

Curse of the Pharaohs offers an interesting new storyline, focusing on the controversial Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Include that with new abilities, sidequests and characters and you have quite the package for twenty euros.

Age of Empires Definitive Edition is stuck between past and present. On the one hand this is a beautiful remake with nostalgic gameplay, but the problems of the past still plague the game, making the Definitive Edition a shell of its former self.

Bayonetta 2 for the Switch hasn't disappointed us on any part. Without exaggeration, this is the rawest gameplay you can find on a small device. The game is as good as it is that it's over-the-top! Dante (from Devil May Cry) is better off giving up, as the eyes are on Bayonetta 3.

Monster Hunter World has become a monstrous and beastly good game. First of all, let's say that it is virtually impossible to paint such a complete and accurate picture of this adventure. The vibrant world of 'The New World' encompasses so many monsters, secrets and resources that you could dedicate a book to it.

The Hidden Ones DLC continues where it left off and it's mostly more of the same, which is excellent if you loved Assassin's Creed Origins. We would have liked to see more variety and more beauty in the region, but it's still a must play for the fans.

For anyone who absolutely loved Syberia, Syberia 2 is a great sequel. You're in the story, you're used to the controls and the atmosphere of the game, and you just want to know how it ends. For anyone who hasn't played part one, this is unfortunately an abrasion, a game that sticks too much with the previous part just won't be fun for you.

Super Lucky's Tale is a very fun game for both young and old. There are a total of four worlds to play in that you spend between two and three hours each. This also depends very much on how fanatically you are hunting coins and four-leaf clovers.

It's clear why this game is a classic, Syberia is a great developed game that will grab you by the wayside. Whether you're a fan of the genre or not, Syberia is a game that goes beyond puzzles and adventure. A game that, despite some flaws and despite the age, manages to put down a story in a fantastic world. And if it's up to us, it's a game you should definitely play once.

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!

The main adventure is a bit on the short side and some Kingdoms only get going during the post-game. Although there is still plenty to do after you have finished the story, we can fully understand that not every gamer wants to finish the game for the full 100 percent. But this shouldn't spoil the fun, because what Super Mario offers is simply fun from the beginning to the end.

The one year gap was exactly what Assassin's Creed Origins needed. The game feels fresh, has a new combat system, a great story and looks absolutely stunning. It has the inevitable bugs and crashes, but that doesn't diminish the fun of the game.

Even after a number of Stardew Valley years, the possibilities continue to feel fresh. No season is the same and you always have a new goal to achieve. And if you feel that you can say goodbye to your crops after fifty years, then it is definitely worth starting over as a winegrower with a different starting location. Because Stardew Valley is not boring!

Middle-earth Shadow of War is a perfect sequel to Shadow of Mordor. It doubles down on the strengths with a better Nemesis-system, excellent combat system and new areas. The story is not the best out there, but if you liked SoM, you'll love this.

Starcraft Remastered is an ode to the amazing original. Blizzard kept it exactly the same as the old title, which means they both play on the same servers, but it also means old annoyances return. But all in all it's a beautiful update for a true classic.

Valkyria Revolution tries a lot of new things, but loses the Valkyria-soul in the process. The combat system is stuck between action and tactics and the style is completely different. It's only saved by an interesting story and beautiful soundtrack.
