If we forget his twin brother for the PS3 for a moment, The Last of Us: Remastered is a top-notch game that should definitely not be missing from your collection of PS4 games. Is this a game to buy a PlayStation 4 for? If you haven't played the game yet, then definitely. But if you already have the PS3 version, it might be better to wait for an offer. After all, you don't pay for extra gameplay, but for a new lick of paint.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the final version of Mario Kart 8, a game that has lost none of its glory after 3 years. The game still looks beautiful and now even plays 1080p at 60fps, even though Mario Kart 8 was already one of the most beautiful Wii U games. With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Nintendo Switch has its first multiplayer topper.

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is everything that the console version was but better, although with some caveats. The controls are improved with mouse and keyboard, but are still a bit clunky. The graphics are breathtaking, but it does requires a beefy PC and there are some technical problems. If you can run it however, it's one of the best games the platform has to offer.

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!

But that's really the only big downside of the game. Divintiy: Original Sin shows for the rest that the pure computer role-playing games are alive again and that we can actually uncork the champagne for that fact.

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.

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.

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.

It remains to be seen how smooth gta online's launch is, but other than that, Rockstar has made a better version of Grand Theft Auto V in pretty much all areas, and that's still better than almost all the other games on the market now in 2014.

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.

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is still just as rewarding to play a year on as it was then. The colorful, humorous world is a welcome change from all the dark games and besides, we rarely see this Mexican style in gameland. What's more, there's an offline cooperative mode that allows you to finish the game entirely with a fellow luchador.

Still haven't played Shovel Knight? What are you waiting for! Shovel Knight is a great challenging game, not only for retro gamers but for anyone who loves platform games. Especially with the planned (free!) DLC that is coming soon is a no-brainer; Shovel Knight is the game to download on the eShop, without a doubt.

Shovel Knight has all the ingredients to make a game fantastic. There is more than enough challenge present to keep your attention. In addition, all levels are unique and a joy to play. The game looks beautiful with its 8-bit jacket and knows how to make you long for the games of yesteryear.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is even more approachable than its predecessors. The game includes a lot of diverse activities, and because of that it never feels repetitive. All the game asks of you is a little bit of patience.

Shovel Knight is a nice glimpse into the past of video games, but at the same time also an example of successful modern sidescrollers. Through tight controls, fantastic style, and a level of difficulty that's just high enough, Shovel Knight can easily be mentioned in the same breath as the classics it pays tribute to.

Football Manager 2022 brings the management experience to the next level. With the addition of the extensive transfer windows and the Data Hub, the game feels even more realistic and you want to keep playing it for as long as possible.

Forza Horizon 5 offers the familiar action we've come to expect from the series, but better than ever. Mexico is the coolest, most varied location in Forza Horizon to date and it won't get boring to race through it anytime soon. The game offers enough entertainment to keep you entertained for quite some time. At least until the next Forza Horizon game. If the annoying server problems are also solved quickly, almost nothing stands in the way of making Forza Horizon 5 the most successful game in the series!

Shin Megami Tensei 5 has become a divine JRPG that contains diabolical challenging trial-and-error moments that you have to master. This may not be fun for everyone, but those who delve into the many possibilities that the game offers and are not afraid to change course every now and then if it doesn't work out, will find in Shin Megami Tensei 5 one of the most challenging and addictive JRPGs that the Switch has to offer.

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.

For now, the question is: is the collection worth a purchase? Yes. A very thick fat yes even. The series is nicely polished and still fun to play.
