6.5 / 10.0 - Rise of the Ronin
Mar 21, 2024

Rise of the Ronin takes you to an exciting time in Japanese history. However, that says it all. Rise of the Ronin borrows many elements from well-known games such as Assassin's Creed and Nioh. The combat can be relatively frustrating due to the different styles you have to learn. There is also a lot to experience in the open world, but it is not always beautiful or challenging. Rise of the Ronin is therefore primarily a game where you can enjoy yourself for a short time.

'Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League' is a good looking game with a nice story. The controls are sometimes a bit difficult, but it doesn't play badly. Unfortunately, the gameplay in the open world is sometimes very monotonous. The fan will enjoy it, but should not set his expectations too high.

Another Code: Recollection is a merger of two previously released games in the Another Code series, but with the necessary innovations. You play with Ashley Mizuki Robins who is investigating to find out what happened in the past and you do this by solving the necessary puzzles and having a lot of dialogue. The focus is clearly on the story, which is done justice to by fine voice actors. The puzzles could have been a little more creative, but are nevertheless entertaining.

9 / 10.0 - Tekken 8
Feb 5, 2024

'Tekken 8' is a fighter with a wide range of game types. It offers accessibility for every character. Both the veteran and the new player could enjoy it to the fullest. A true fighter fan will definitely want to get this title.

'The Last Of Us Part II Remastered' adds one game mode and minimal extras. Graphically it is better, but it is difficult to notice. The game itself remains as classy as before, but the remaster still feels very unnecessary.

7 / 10.0 - Let's Sing 2024
Dec 21, 2023

Let's Sing 2024 does what you would expect, letting loose on contemporary music with a touch of nostalgia. You can hang out with friends again, against strangers online or just relax alone. The career mode is nice, but only if you are not yet familiar with the series. Classic is where you have free choice to decide for yourself what you sing. With 35 songs and possibly extra from the VIP Pass, you will be entertained for hours. So grab your phone or microphone and go crazy.

If you are looking for a broad game with beautiful graphics, lots of quests with the possibility of even more content, look no further. Then Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is the game for you. Based on the film of the same name, the sequel to the first Avatar film/game. Where we didn't think was possible after a great first Avatar experience, Ubisoft has outdone themselves.

This new Dragon Quest part is fun for new players, but also for gamers who have been fans of the series for years and have been looking forward to a sequel/Spin-off. This strategy RPG distinguishes itself from its peers in several areas and is easy to play. The game is smooth enough to pick up quickly, but complicated enough to spend hours playing. Highly recommended if you are looking for hours of entertainment with the possibility of extra content and online expansion

9 / 10.0 - Super Mario RPG
Nov 29, 2023

Super Mario RPG has been remastered on the Nintendo Switch. It has remained very close to the original. It's up to Mario to save the Mushroom Kingdom, this time not from Bowser, but the enemy Exor. The beautiful 3D refresh that this game has received is great and the soundtrack is also great. The game ensures that you fly through the game without getting bored. The turn-based combat is a joy and no two characters and weapons are the same to play as. Find the combination that works for you and save the mushroom kingdom!

RoboCop: Rogue City is the best that Teyon has presented us when it comes to youth heroes from the 80s. RoboCop plays nice and stiff and the action is also good. Writing out tickets feels especially funny when it comes to illegal parking. However, the quality remains outdated graphically and you should only play this if you are a fan of the films.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III picks up where they left off last year. Changing course in the meantime turns out to be anything but effective. The single player is far too short and feels too rushed. The multiplayer also does exactly what you would expect, namely not being entertaining due to the toxic behavior of the players. Add to that the fact that there are no new maps, but only directly transferred maps from Modern Warfare 2 from 2009. Is there anything positive about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III? Yes, Zombies is quite entertaining because there is more to it.

WarioWare: Move It! is a wonderfully smooth game full of funny, varied and creative microgames that make good use of the possibilities of the Joy-Cons. It's everything you'd expect from a WarioWare game, although the party mode for three or four players is a disappointment. The pace is slow in this mode and because each player has not two, but one Joy-Con, the game registers all the poses and movements you have to do a lot less well. The two-player story mode is by far the best this bright, strange and funny game has to offer.

9 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Nov 13, 2023

Alan Wake II picks up the thread again literally and figuratively thirteen years later. Alan Wake has been missing for thirteen years and FBI agent Saga Anderson has to investigate a murder in Bright Falls that could be linked to Alan Wake. What follows is a story between two main characters full of secrets and an escape from this nightmare that reigns in Bright Falls. Alan Wake II is more horror than action and the jump scares certainly help with that. Alan Wake II even feels uncomfortable at times and that is certainly a positive sign in this case.

6.5 / 10.0 - Animal Hospital
Nov 6, 2023

Animal Hospital does exactly what you would expect. You have to research animals, heal them and receive money to move on to the next injured person. It is simplistic and therefore ideal to just pick up in between. If you expect more depth, you will be disappointed with Animal Hospital.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 shows exactly where the power of the PlayStation 5 lies. Swinging around NYC never felt so satisfying and now you can float to Brooklyn too. From the first minute to the credits, the story hits like a bomb. The new skills provide a different way of playing and there is also plenty to do in this game. The latter sometimes feels like a repetition, but that certainly shouldn't spoil the fun because you are Spider-Man after all!

'Lords of the Fallen' is a soulslike that uniquely distinguishes itself from the rest. With better graphics and gameplay than its predecessor of the same name, this game can certainly be called a successful soulslike. Unique gameplay elements ensure that this game will not quickly fade from memory.

8 / 10.0 - Ghostrunner 2
Oct 23, 2023

'Ghostrunner II' is a smooth action game with a lot of challenge. Freerunning and slashing with your sword come together again in this second part. The game may have some new additions, but this does not make it any easier. A challenge with dying many times awaits you.

A fun sequel to the original game in 2018, in which you unravel mysteries by interrogating people and Pokemon. These mysteries and riddles are quite simple, which makes it feel like child's play. If you're looking for action and adventure, Detective Pikachu isn't the right choice. But if you have a love for Pokémon and want a change from Pokémon battles, you've come to the right place!

After many years of whining and complaining from the fan base, Ubisoft finally seemed to give in last year: There would be an Assassin's Creed game "according to the old formula", entitled Mirage. A so-called return to form, with fewer RPG elements and more old-fashioned sneaking and blending into the crowd on a smaller scale than the previous three games (read: Valhalla, Odyssey & Origins). It was music to the ears of many fans, but has Ubisoft managed to keep these promises? The short answer: yes! But that does come with some caveats.

Baten Kaitos I & II, originally released on the Gamecube, have been remastered for the Nintendo Switch. The upgrade brings players back into the enchanting fantasy world, with beautiful visuals and a compelling story. Although Part 1 already scored highly, Origins surpasses its predecessor on all fronts, with significant improvements in both visuals and gameplay. Both games introduce a unique card-based battle system, which adds an interesting and tactical dimension to the game. Highly recommended for RPG enthusiasts looking for a refreshing experience.
