Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom looks beautiful because of the anime style. As beautiful as it looks, it all feels very tiring. You are often doing the same thing and therefore you will never entertain yourself for hours because your attention span goes down quickly. Nevertheless, it is especially nice to play in between if you are tired of the larger games.

7 / 10.0 - Bayonetta 3
Nov 16, 2022

Bayonetta 3 is a great game that plays away nicely after a difficult start, but does not always convince completely. The first hour players probably won't mind anything thrown at them, but for newcomers it's quite overwhelming. That applies not only to the story, but also to the controls and the like. The makers seem to have assumed that you already know how everything works. The game feels graphically dated, especially in the cut scene. However, you get used to it quickly and it doesn't really get in the way of the game.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is an improvement over Call of Duty: Vanguard. The single player plays well, despite the fact that you buy this for the online multiplayer. Infinity Ward is certainly not finished with this part and there will also be a lot of new content such as new maps in the coming period. Infinity Ward is already busy with that and with the first season and Warzone 2.0, the fans will be sweet for a while. The only hope is that Infinity Ward will also give the necessary attention to Cooperative and what exactly they want to do with Raids. All in all, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is another big blast, but a blast with a recognizable flavor.

'New Tales From The Borderlands' is a spin-off. Like its predecessor, this game plays differently from the main games. It does play very easily, it looks better again and it has a typical Borderlands story. Furthermore, as the title insinuates, there are a few things that are new. The main characters are less memorable, but fun is once again guaranteed.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers does something completely different than you're used to. Namely, surviving and escaping from a well-known villain like Cell more than attacking him. However, the game has some shortcomings such as having to wait a long time to be a villain and sparse content. Nice for the fans, but a lot has to happen if you really want to play this for hours.

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is a turn-based tactic game that is also suitable for children. Your team of heroes must defeat their enemies in order to free all Sparks that Curca has captured, thus lifting the darkness. Some levels are harder to pass than others. The easy battles ensure that it remains fun and the game progresses smoothly, while the more difficult battles provide a bit of challenge. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope isn't the most fun game in Nintendo's Mario universe, but it's definitely worth playing nonetheless.

6.5 / 10.0 - FIFA 23
Oct 6, 2022

FIFA 23 feels like an update rather than an upgrade. There are many innovations, but few features that really make an impression. However, the game will sell like hot cakes again this year, as EA Sports remains unparalleled in the field of football games. FIFA 23 remains the best football game out there, despite EA Sports being unable to offer its players much innovation this year.

8.5 / 10.0 - Valkyrie Elysium
Oct 5, 2022

Valkyrie Elysium puts you in the armor of a Valkyrie who is the only hope the world has left. The gameplay is very similar to Nier: Automata and similar games. Do you have the wisdom to know who is telling the truth and who is deceiving you, or is the world already lost?

7.5 / 10.0 - Soulstice
Oct 4, 2022

Soulstice is a Hack 'N Slash that draws its strength from combat. The visuals are mediocre and the game often has fixed camera angles. In between fights it sometimes feels quite empty and monotonous. Fortunately, this is fully compensated with the brutal action that makes you feel like a real badass.

8 / 10.0 - Cult of the Lamb
Sep 27, 2022

Devilishly cute and hilarious! That is the best description for Cult of the Lamb. This Roguelike uses several gameplay elements that also turned out great. Are you a good leader or do you sacrifice everyone for your sweet revenge?

8 / 10.0 - F1 Manager 2022
Sep 24, 2022

Always wanted to be the new Max Verstappen, but you can't? Maybe managing a Formula 1 team is something for you. In F1 Manager 2022 you can work as a manager of an F1 team. The choices are endless and the influence you can exert as a manager feels realistic. However, you will sometimes drown in the choices you can and must make and it plays a little less pleasantly on the consoles than on the PC.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R is a simple fighting game that fans can enjoy without a doubt. It doesn't excel at innovation and feels ill-balanced on certain fronts. Bottom line, it's not a bad Fight game, but certainly not the best either.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a wonderful collection of video games from the late 80s and 90s. It is sure to evoke nostalgia. The extra additions such as online multiplayer, intermediate saving and being able to rewind provide a lot of convenience. If you have to whine, it is at most about the price. At forty euros, it is quite an expensive collection.

Sep 7, 2022

Steelrising is a perfect entry-level game for the newcomer to the Soulslike genre. The challenge is lower than expected, but certainly not lacking.

7 / 10.0 - Saints Row
Sep 1, 2022

Saints Row is a reboot of the game series hated by some and loved by others. This is not much different with this reboot. The game retains its clunky charm. In some areas you notice that the game has gone a long way forward, but in other areas also backwards. You actually miss that extra touch of innovation. Nevertheless, it brings a ton of laughter and fun in co-op.
