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 However, the quality remains outdated graphically and you should only play this if you are a fan of the films.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.

8.5 / 10.0 - Lies of P
Oct 5, 2023

Lies of P is a soulslike that distinguishes itself mainly with its story and accessibility. The environments look beautiful and the well-known story of Pinocchio makes Krat and his surroundings feel like a fun city trip. Make no mistake, Lies of P may be a bit more accessible, but it punishes you mercilessly if you are greedy during the fights. A pleasant addition to the soulslike genre.

6.5 / 10.0 - Super Bomberman R 2
Sep 30, 2023

Entertaining multi-player game, which is mainly based on that. The story for the single-player is boring and the voice actors don't do the game much good, but fortunately that is rectified by the fun online battles.

7 / 10.0 - PAYDAY 3
Sep 26, 2023

Payday 3 obviously uses the same concept as its predecessors. The game has had the necessary update to look sleek again. There isn't a lot of content yet, but the missions available are very entertaining.

9 / 10.0 - Mortal Kombat 1
Sep 22, 2023

Gameplay as usual is what you can expect from 'Mortal Kombat 1'. Add to that a sharp quality and again some minor adjustments to the well-known rules and you have a top fighter. The blood will flow over your screen again.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge: Dimension Shellshock is a DLC that provides a small-scale addition to the game. Not everyone will see the value of this. Nevertheless, it is entertaining.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Crew Motorfest
Sep 20, 2023

'The Crew Motorfest' is a racing game that plays quite nicely and has accessibility options for new players. The experienced player can also expect a tailor-made challenge. The range of vehicles is extensive and a wide range of different types of races are available.

9 / 10.0 - Starfield
Sep 17, 2023

Starfield can best be described as Skyrim in space and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. In fact, it even feels familiar and can draw new players into a new world. Starfield is immense and you just don't know where to start. The minimal to no explanation really makes it feel like a big adventure for you. You make strategic choices throughout the game, such as providing your ship with power, which skills you want to teach your character to which mission you want to do first. Starfield is overwhelming and perhaps a bit too much for some.
