    Bluey: The Videogame
    Bluey: The Videogame is a promising thesis of a game, but all the easter eggs in the world can't make a rushed product complete.

    Moroi
    Moroi has a genuinely unique aesthetic and a distinct sense of atmosphere, but little else going for it.

    BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW
    BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW is a genuinely obnoxious game that barely understands the things it's trying to be about, let alone how to be scary.

    F1 2015
    I am happy to announce that Codemasters are not leaving the novice players behind in order to chase the most realistic F1 game to date.

    Need for Speed
    Yes, there are better, more realistic racing experiences on the market, but few titles can match the pure engagement that this year’s Need for Speed offers.

    Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars
    Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is a fun yet formulaic anime beat-em-up. However it blurs the lines of both franchises, and might not offer enough of either franchise’s core experience to please their fans.

    Downward Spiral: Horus Station
    Downward Spiral: Horus Station is a thoughtfully crafted VR game that puts the player in the shoes of an astronaut exploring the depths of the mysterious Horus Station on Mars.

    Kill la Kill: IF
    Kill la Kill: IF has done a lot of work to push the arena fighter genre forward, even if its story mode won’t build up new fans.

    198X
    While by no means a bad game, 198X is a bit like ordering a pie and finding out it has no filling.

    Skelattack
    Skelattack is a challenging and sprawling platformer set in the underworld that aims to please both fans of adventure games and platformers.

    The Falconeer
    The Falconeer is a small but surprisingly ambitious game that will impress those that are curious with its artistry, and if you are willing to pack a little extra patience and tolerance of its more glaring flaws, you’re likely to have a good time. Fans of old-school air-combat games such as Ace Combat and Crimson Skies in particular should consider giving it a shot.

    Valkyrie Elysium
    It’s a solid experience that feels like an extension of its ancestor, and both newcomers and old fans should check it out. However, I also fear there’s not quite enough to latch on to, and it may be lost in the shuffle of all the other games out this fall. Much like another Square Enix action-RPG this year, I do wish it had pushed itself just a little further.

    FBC: Firebreak
    FCB: Firebreak takes the strangeness of the Control universe and applies it to a genuinely fun and challenging co-op shooter.

    Wild Card Football
    Wild Card Football offers a refreshing, arcade-style twist on the traditional football game, perfect for quick matches and party play.

    Steel Seed
    Steel Series is a decent action-adventure game that feels like a long-lost video store rental that fans of the genre should appreciate despite its by-the-numbers design philosophy.

    Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment
    Even though there is very little that has changed since the Hollow Fragment Vita release, the multiplayer aspect definitely adds to the game experience and makes it feel slightly more like the MMO depicted in the series.

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Mega Dimension
    For what it is, Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension is a decent enough post-game content update that will give fans of the game even more reason to keep playing.

    Birthdays the Beginning
    Ironically, the only thing holding this game back is a lack of evolution.

    Martha is Dead
    Martha is Dead tells a deeply personal and complex story that strikes at some complex issues that are only held back from greatness due to technical struggles.

    Starship Troopers: Extermination
    Dragged down by buggy gameplay, unstable framerates, laggy input control and middling production values, Starship Troopers: Extermination makes an ambitious attempt at capturing the spirit of the original 1997 film, but ultimately delivers an average horde/extraction game that isn’t all that much fun to play.

    • 55 Critic Score
    The Awakened Fate: Ultimatum
    Ultimately, The Awakened Fate Ultimatum ends up being a pretty decent dungeon crawler that gets bogged down by a cumbersome story and poor lead character.

    Trove
    The core problem Trove suffers from is that Minecraft doesn’t work as an MMO. Minecraft is an open world survival game that inspires its players to create huge structures and towns. It was never the gameplay that got people hooked, it was the stories about what they created. Trove limits this ability severely, leaving players with a shallow and characterless MMO that quickly becomes boring after just a few hours. Even if players were to invest money into the game, Trove still has nothing of substance to offer except cosmetics and progress fasteners. Stay away from this greedy cash cow, MMO players deserve better.

    Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity
    A bland and repetitive experience, offering almost none of the quality found it the games that inspired it.

    Metal Wolf Chaos XD
    Metal Wolf Chaos XD is the definition of a cult classic video game. While nothing the game does could ever be considered truly exceptional or innovative, somehow all of its absurd elements have combined to create something truly memorable.

    Gear.Club Unlimited
    Gear.Club Unlimited is the most traditional racer to hit the Switch, and a successful outing for Microïds / Eden Games Mobile The graphics, although not as slavish to accurate detail like in a Gran Turismo title, still manage to hold their own, and are crisp and enjoyable.

    Metroid Prime: Federation Force
    Metroid Prime: Federation Force is not only the best FPS on the 3DS, but perhaps one of my favorite FPS games ever.
    • 64 Metascore

    Shadow of the Beast
    Shadow of the Beast has impressive production values and combat mechanics that improve over the original, but weak platforming and poor design decisions greatly hamper the experience.

    Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
    Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a solid return to the Quidditch pitch and is a must try for fans of the overarching series.

    Way of the Passive Fist
    Way of the Passive Fist is a game that continually left me wanting more and I highly recommend it.

    The Silver Case
    By today’s standards, The Silver Case is not a great game. It’s a chore to navigate, the pacing is dreadfully slow at times, and the visual presentation, while unique, begins to grate on the eyes after a while. However, when this came out in 1999, it was unlike anything else available at the time, and allowed Suda51 to begin his career as one of the most original developers in the industry. The story is bizarre but cool, the setting is fun, and the style bounces all over the place (in a good way). Not the best game when looked at in a 2017 context, but for an HD re-release of a genre-bending convention breaker, it does its job.
