Warhammer 40K Inquisitor Martyr has fantastic gameplay that's complimented by great combat and missions. There are a few bugs and framerate problems, but the skills tied to weapon mechanics add a brilliant way to switch up combat until you find your set.

For the rest, few negatives can be noticed about Sonic Mania Plus. If you have a little bit of a warm heart for the hedgehog and aren't averse to a bite of your nostalgia, you should give Sonic Mania Plus a chance. 30 euros is not much for such a game and it looks nice in the closet.

Inside is a great lurid journey of discovery where you watch with excitement every time your character experiences a near-death experience every time. Inside drags you through a lot of atmospheric scenes where you always feel like it can't get any more exciting. Yet it happens and you are regularly on the edge of your seat because you want to know why you have to go through all those deadly experiences. Inside is a four to five-hour experience where you watch with your mouth open as one of the best Indies develops.

Octopath Traveler stands out from the pack thanks to a striking artstyle and some great characters to boot. It's world has plenty to offer in terms of fighting thanks to a surprisingly deep combat system. The story's structure is the biggest problem though.

Super Bomberman R goes big on multiplayer and brings the fun. The campaign however does not due to a weird balancing act. Thanks to fast gameplay and many characters there is plenty to do even though the in-game currency is way off.

Unravel 2 is amazing thanks to clever puzzles and fantastic coop. It's beautiful and has some great gameplay, but playing alone lessens the experience. The music is the unsung hero, because it's majestic throughout the entire playthrough.

Grand Cruise is expensive for what it has to offer with barely half an hour of playtime. As cool as it is to become a Straw Hat Pirate, the two barebones mini-games are boring to play and look pretty bad. Fans of One Piece might enjoy this, but that's it.

One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 on Switch runs great, is amazing for fans and once again has some great combat. It's a shame that newcomers will feel lost and that losing is so punishing. It does have plenty of content for musou fans and One Piece fans alike.

Owlboy is amazing thanks to it's fantastic set of characters and an incredible world to explore. The game has beautiful pixel art and great dialogue that will make you laugh out loud. The only downside is that the game crashes for no reason sometimes.

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.
