Dustborn follows the Telltale Games studio's precepts: no-choice elections, minimal variation, and silly plot twists. The second part of the game looks like it was finished by another team of writers.

The lack of autosave feature, primitive bosses and orthodox platforming feels like a something from the past. But at the same time, there's nothing wrong with the idea of bringing back old, but visually updated classic. Hardcore fans definitely can appreciate a game like this.

Namco Museum Archives - Volume 2 offers the opportunity to dive into the immortal classics with friends and maybe even find something new for yourself.

The Last Case of John Morley is a very short, but interesting noir detective story with outdated visuals and technical aspects. However, the developers chose not to create a hollow pretense of philosophical drama or a profound statement. What awaits you is a convoluted yet fairly simple detective story with a realistic ending.

Somerville is an exceptional project with huge missed potential, reason being the overall weak technical state. The game is just raw and would greatly benefit from at least another six month of dev time.

It's hard to recommend Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons to anyone but the the most hardcore fans of the series. Everyone else should probably give this one a pass.

Marvel's Avengers is a typical holiday blockbuster with bright special effects, explosions, chases and familiar characters, which periodically descends into dullness with boring missions and tasks. Without all this tinsel and service elements, Marvel's Avengers would probably be a much more complete and interesting game. At the same time, Crystal Dynamics managed to create a really interesting character with Kamala Khan, who deserves much more attention than the rest of the Avengers squad.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is not the most successful experiment. The reimagining of the walking simulator's core principles did not go as planned.

Most of the content, including music, items, and enemies, is directly transferred from the world of Enter The Gungeon, making the product even more secondary than it previously seemed. On PC, Exit the Gungeon has already experienced several patches, after which it became more playable, but it is still noticeable that this is a quickly molded game, released in the hope of hype around the first one and high sales.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a fine co-op shooter in a beloved franchise. It can offer lots of fun and tons of shooting, which should be enough for at least a couple of evenings.

AI LIMIT is an unusual mashup of familiar solutions that is unlikely to be a big hit, but well worth a look.

Bright Memory: Infinite is appealing and technically impressive shooter, that sadly a bit too short and lacks interesting plot or boss fights.

High on Life is a strong enough game with some fun gameplay segments and okay-ish plot, all of which can outweigh some of the obvious shortcomings. Basically this new release from Squanch Games is a competently made FPS with some szechuan sauce on the side.

Oddworld: Soulstorm is rather a mixed bag. On one hand there's plenty of great gameplay mechanics, some innovative gimmicks, and a dramatic story to boot. But at the same time you'll have to deal with a boring color scheme for most of the game, that pairs with some unintuitive and chaotic levels.

Alone in the Dark is a B-class game that can be compared to projects like Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle and Song of Horror. But it can't even come close to the legendary original.

Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise greatly simplifies home sports activities and makes them more fun and exciting.

There are no interesting events in The Precinct. Just endless patrols in muddy courtyards.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a decent children's game that sags in the second half. However, it will still be enjoyable to play through in co-op on the couch.

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade is a fairly standard and simple roguelike game with nice graphics and a combat system that can be frustrating with its linearity and lack of variability.

Aphelion appears to have fallen victim to the financial difficulties DON'T NOD faced. Despite a solid foundation, the developers failed to polish either the story or the gameplay. What we've got is a run-of-the-mill adventure that pales in comparison to Banishers and Jusant, the primary sources for its ideas.

There are lots of problems, and yet Elex II will hold your attention with a tight grip, even after 60 hours of playtime. All thanks to the crazy setting, worldbuilding, and exploration gameplay.

DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power clearly creaded for kids, and we can recommend this game for purchase only if your child is a big fan of the DC Super Hero Girls animated series and already understands English. Sadly, this game lacks Russian localization.

The Casting of Frank Stone is slightly better received than the disappointing final chapters of The Dark Pictures Anthology. But it's nowhere near as good as the well-crafted The Quarry or Until Dawn.

Give Scorn a chance if you feel like you can enjoy this game as an experience, rather than a strictly gameplay-focused project. Otherwise some questionable design choices and short length will most likely just bore you to death.

Monark can be seen as a good opportunity to try something new in an ocean of stale JRPG tropes, especially for the players who enjoy tactical thinking and resource management gameplay.

Song of Horror - Episode 5: The Horror and the Song is a good ending to the story, which as a whole game looks great. But I expected something more from this episode than all the same annoying mechanics with QTE in the closet, same monsters and traps, and an ending in the style of horror movies from the '90s. However, against the background of other indie developments in this genre, the creation from Protocol Games looks like a small masterpiece.

Console players wanted to get a graphically updated game with PC version features added. Instead, they received a product full of bugs and technical flaws, and PC version turned out inferior to the original in may ways. It's possible that some of the remaster's problems will be resolved in the future with patches, but it's too early to recommend Mafia 2: Definitive Edition, so it's better to wait for the sale.

It's not entirely clear what Remedy Entertainment was hoping for when they decided to take on a project that literally contradicts their formula of story adventures. FBC: Firebreak simply has nothing to praise.
