Warlords of Draenor disappointed a lot of fans, but Blizzard is back with Legion. The new areas look amazing and have a much bigger story, the Artifact Weapons add depth and Demon Hunters are awesome. Now we just need more content patches, Blizzard.

F1 2016 is the ultimate revanche on F1 2015's lack of a Career-mode. F1 2016's Career Mode is meaty and perfectly executed. Alongside the lovely racing experience and multiple other modes, F1 2016 is an excellent game that is a must buy for F1-fans.

Still, it doesn't take away from the fact that Inside is a game that's been one of the best released this year. There are fantastic puzzles in the game and the game is for the most part a lot of fun and addictive to play. If you like Limbo, you should play it too.

Blood and Wine is a fantastic expansion and has everything you need to get you to blow off the dust of your copy of The Witcher 3. The expansion offers more than twice as many hours of gameplay as Hearts of Stone and stands like a house in terms of gameplay. If you loved Wild Hunt and Hearts of Stone, you'll buy Blood and Wine blindly. Cd Projekt RED Geralt could not have given a more dignified farewell than Blood and Wine!

Overwatch is an extremely polished Hero Shooter and looks absolutely lovely. Teamwork is important and encourages interaction with your teammates. With Overwatch, Blizzard has delivered another masterpiece.

Naughty Dog has completed a very successful franchise with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. And how! The game is perfectly finished on almost all points and really provides the necessary drooling moments. The game includes plenty of new additions and let us enjoy at least 15 hours for the Uncharted 4 review.

Dark Souls 3 feels fresh and easily establishes itself as the franchise's best and most comprehensive game, as well as placing itself in the list as one of the strongest games of the year. Know what you're getting into because Dark Souls 3 isn't good for your health! Prepare to die!

All in all, with the re-release of Resident Evil 6, little new is conjured up on your screen compared to the original. What you do get are four (!) well-balanced storylines with occasional forced and unnecessary quick-time events,crazy camera angles and clunky controls. However, the graphical improvements, good co-op implementation and reduced price (you only pay 20 euros for Resident Evil 6 in the online stores) certainly make this a mustfor the newcomers, and for the enthusiast a chance to experience Resident Evil 6 again.

Samurai Warriors 4: Empires is a good step in the right direction, with a lot more depth and strategics thanks to the Politics Phase. But the gameplay itself is still the same compared to the original and the graphics have not improved either.

Earth Defense Force 4.1 is quite a disappointment given it's a remaster. A full-price release is far from ideal for this game and things like the mediocre framerate and graphics don't work in its favour either. But if you make the step to play Earth Defense Force 4.1 co-op with your friends, it makes for a fun-level not many games have been able to reach.

Despite the fact that less use is made of the free-running parkour skills that Dying Light is known for, adding the buggy is a successful strategy. Your buggy is like a well-oiled zombie-killing machine that you want to take with you wherever you go in the new area of Dying Light. And just like the buggy, the game is a oiled zombie-killing machine in which almost everything is right!

XCOM 2 is a perfect sequel to Enemy Unknown. The core is almost the same, but is rock solid and the new setting is an excellent base for a wide diversity in missions. Only the graphical compartment could have been improved.

Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is a good first expansion for ArenaNet's MMO. The new Elite Specializations and The Revenant are interesting. Maguuma is an awesome place, too bad there weren't more areas to explore.

The old Fallout feel is back, and all the adjustments that have been made over previous Fallout games have been perfectly measured out. With Boston, the Wasteland is a world that has a wide range of factions, locations, characters and features to offer. The flaw of the hurried intro doesn't outweigh everything the game has to offer. Fallout 4 is a game where you look at your watch the first time and see 22:00, then look again a little later and see 02:34 to your horror. This is nearing perfection and it's the game whose needle doesn't leave your vein anymore.

Add the new voice-overs and the co-op functionalities to the existing package, and you have a role-playing game that you say U to. The slow start and the tough challenge that the game offers won't be for everyone. But anyone who loves role-playing games, can't get their luck on with Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition.

Project Zero Maiden of Black Water is a game infused with a scary, uncomfortable atmosphere that you will love as a fan of Japanese horror films. The story may not be gripping. But the atmosphere, the long playing time and the unique gameplay with the Wii U gamepad make the game at least worth a try. Still, the outdated design holds back maiden of Black Water from being an essential Wii U game.

This first DLC of The Witcher 3 has passed with flying colors and is a must-have for those who play The Witcher 3 or want to play it again. Hearts of Stone is a rock-solid DLC from The Witcher 3 and more than worth every penny.

With Forza Motorsport 6, Turn 10 hits back hard after the somewhat disappointing fifth part. The eye-catcher is the enormous amount of content, both in the field of cars, circuits and assignments and races. Complemented by an impressive night and weather system (which unfortunately isn't dynamic) and overwhelming visuals, race enthusiasts get exactly what they're waiting for. All things considered, Forza 6 is an essential purchase for any self-respecting lover of racing games.

Dishonored is a great game. Dishonored Definitive Edition is better, but not necessarily worth it to pick. Graphically, the game is much better and getting the extra content is also nice, but otherwise not much has changed. Gameplay and story are just the same and you don't exactly get happy with the load times and character progress.

In any case, we will make no bones about it: Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain is a game that you must have played. In our eyes, perhaps the best game of this year, and one of the best games ever made. Just as legendary as Big Boss himself!
