Rare Replay is a collection for which you get an Xbox One. The game has an achievement score of 10,000 points and over 700 hours of gameplay. And all for only 30 euros. Searching around the internet shows that it is sometimes already offered for less. The price-quality ratio is of a level that we have not seen before. Absurd. Infectious. A must-buy!

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker Special Book DLC offers a lot of fun for only six euros. You get to play in co-op through 18 levels. The new levels offer variety and more challenges than the original game did. A definite must buy for everyone with the game.

Lost in Random is clearly a Zoink! game, though you can't compare it to other games from the studio. The game has its own style and gameplay and both of them are truly wonderful. If you like card games, dice games, or are simply addicted to adventuring this is the game for you. The game feels like a Tim Burton movie. Funny, but creepy and stylish at the same time. Lost in Random is truly compelling with an original story and once you start, you can't stop playing!

With all the innovations, you'll be presented with a of a game. If you like good stories, this is without a doubt the game you should play. Just keep in mind a somewhat long lawsuit at the end where the momentum could have been a bit more. It's mild criticism of a game that should be especially praised for the script.

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.

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.

This game is absolutely a surprise this year! It combines puzzling elements with horror and the atmosphere is getting more and more dark. It's a short title but definitely fun to play.

Do you play Gears of War for single player or multiplayer? Probably a combination of both. In any case, the fact is that for 40 euros you get a top title that offers a lot of hours of entertainment if you play alone or want to do co-op. We think of that multiplayer as a dessert to a masterpiece.

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.

If you have finished playing, you can play the game again with, for example, another ship. There are three to choose from. Although you might not be better off doing that right away, because the soundtrack is rather uplifting and intense, which is good, by the way. And it fits this type of game. Real negatives are therefore not present, except for the relatively short playing time. With an hour you can blast yourself to the credits. But hey then you are a beautiful experience richer. Thank you developer Mebius.

Yoshi's Crafted World is a great game thanks to the amount of content and the great coop experience. You just need to take your time when playing coop. The bosses could've been more challenging as well, but the Poochy-levels are great and make up for it.

If you are looking for a co-op game, but don't have anything in mind yet, Moving Out 2 is highly recommended! And if you like Overcooked's games, these are also games that you will certainly enjoy.

Capcom Arcade Stadium is a really cool collection of games from the past. All of the games can be played together with friends. There really is only one downside and that's the fact you can't play together online.

Yakuza Like a Dragon is a must-play for fans of the first hour. Side missions complement the main story in a major way thanks to the utter insanity of some of the stories. You'll need to have some patience though for some of the other mechanics in the game, which is disappointing.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 brings a fresh new wind to karting. The game lets you play as your favorite cartoon characters like The Turtles, Ren and Stimpy, and SpongeBob. The racing part of the game is great. You can shoot other drivers with power-ups and protect yourself with them. Besides racing, you can play different modes like the Arena battle, which makes this a complete game for a lot less than the average karting game.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a pleasant surprise in a year full of beat 'em ups. This is not just another brawler, but one with an extensive skill tree, different fighting styles, and a lot of fun gameplay. The game is playable in offline or online co-op and in both styles the game works flawlessly. There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing worth mentioning. If you like to fight, buy this game.

If an entirely new game were to come out starring Kaito, that would be more than welcome. Yagami and Kaito may not be Kiryu, but every Yakuza enthusiast also walks away with these games. They are two interesting characters of which many more stories may be released. It's a bit of digging into the pouch, but then you also have something. Just keep in mind that the bad guy is quickly known, unless you play with blinders on. Yet there is still plenty to do afterwards!

This game is so much fun for almost everybody. It looks great and is nice to play. You would enjoy this much as you love Mario Kart games.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a joy to play, particularly in co-op, as two players can spot more secrets than one. However: co-op is also the game's greatest weakness as everything revolves around player one: it's a dated approach to co-op compared to newer games that treat all players as equal participants. Thankfully, improved graphics and great additional content make this new version of Return to Dream Land truly "Deluxe".

The TakeOver gets its inspiration from the grandmaster Streets of Rage, and does this well. The fighting is smooth and there are a lot of options to make combos. Next to that the game has a few original features like guns that add to the variation. Despite the lack of an online co-op mode this is a game you simply have to play. It is allmost unbelievable all this came from the brain of one man!
