Even though it had a less than flattery introduction, the second half changes the gear and managed to capture our interest. There is uneven quality among the actors and some cheesy dialogue, but it nevertheless narrates an interesting story that we would very well like to see how it unfolds. Let’s hope that it will prove to be True Detective season 1 and not season 2.

A risky gamble of simplification and modernization from Daedelic, Silence might be a bit too simple, too easy and short to impress hardcore fans, but it is an excellent stepping stone into the genre for new gamers and one of the most incredibly looking games of all time.

Have a Nice Death is a roguelike that fans of the genre should definitely check, thanks to its nice, cartoon-like, visuals, fast gameplay and good variety of enemies.

Those expecting an experience akin to the classic Final Fantasy games may find FANTASIAN Neo Dimension disappointing, whether due to its noticeable mobile roots or its uneven difficulty.

We cannot fathom why Gearbox neglected to include the DLCs of the original game and decided not to support the Aim Controller (that would have been absolutely ideal for this game), but that doesn't mean Borderlands 2 VR is a bad game. On the contrary, Pandora in VR looks wonderful, the superb gunplay is present and the "shoot n' loot" design will, once again, keep you going for over 25 hours.

Snake Eater's remake truly shines in its visuals, delivering an excellent modernization of what is arguably the best title in the Metal Gear series.

A dark, moody and melancholic game that seems tailored for older gamers.

The Royal Edition of Final Fantasy XV -due to its huge content- is targeted towards those who haven’t played the game in its initial release and for them it is a highly recommend game.

Golden Force manages to offer a well-balanced platforming experience, with functional battle mechanics, exceptional level design, co-op and a difficulty that can push players to their limits and often test their patience.

Ever wanted to play the part of a professional crime scene cleaner? This is your chance. A short but special and addictive experience.

My Friend Pedro is ultimately a very fun, single-minded action game that can truly give the sense that we take part in some over-the-top action movie scenes. We could do without the overuse of the platform sequences towards the end, which reduce the frenetic gunfight rhythm a bit, but nevertheless it’s an especially entertaining rollercoaster of gunfight, arcade spectacle.

Even though some of its gameplay elements don’t really work (like, for example, the driving sessions) Valentino Rossi: The Game if full of Milestone’s “know how” of the genre and offers a complete motorcycle riding experience.

Αn interesting horror visual novel with mature themes, lots of choices and multiple endings. The characters are fleshed out, but the zombie apocalypse story has been used to death in the past and the game would benefit from voice overs which it doesn't have. Some problems with the controls when you come up with choices could also be easily averted.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is, without a doubt, an effort to bring new life to the game that started the random dungeon exploration craze.

For a first try from a studio without any previous games, Atomic Heart is certainly an achievement albeit rough around (some) edges. Its aesthetic and mixture of well crafted action, puzzles and exploration is dragged down a bit by an abysmal open-world design (which thankfully doesn’t last long) and a rather predictable story. Nevertheless, the overall experience created the feeling that Mundfish is a studio that we should keep our eyes on in the future.

Contracts is another step forward for CI Games in its Ghost Warrior franchise. The maps have exactly the right size, providing breadth or routes, but it never becomes tiresome to traverse, and the sniper rifle is a joy to use, especially from long distances. It may not offer something we haven’t seen before in the genre, nevertheless, it is a quite entertaining, no-frills, stealth FPS.

The most essential feature in this kind of games is the creation of a solid cornerstone on which the game will grow and prosper in the coming months (or years maybe). Somehow The Division manages to create this cornerstone though it leaves a lot to be desired.

In the positive’s area the fact that even gamers with no MMO experience at all can enjoy most of the game (essentially with some company).

Company of Heroes 3 offers, as expected, solid real-time strategy gameplay with four factions that have unique characteristics.

However, the hyped turn-based Italian campaign is lackluster and boring despite the great scope and needs major improvement.

Being made by a solo developer The Alien Cube shows remarkable talent from Alessandro Guzzo in his ability to deliver high quality sceneries, accompanied with a well-thought sound design.

The anime that this game is based upon may not be as popular as other Japanese animation, but Sanctuary Battle makes a decent effort to keep up with the true spirit of Kurumada's original vision.

It's more simplified than its predecesor, but on the same time Risen 2 seems to be buit just for hardcore RPG gamers.

The 80s aesthetic is great and the fun here is guaranteed. If you lived through this particular decade you will definitely appreciate Ubisoft's latest.

Lunark is a great, albeit a bit short, ode to Another World, Flashback and the other few cinematic platforms of a bygone era. Although we would have liked the pixel art to be more refined, we nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed Leo’s adventure.

Warhammer 40,000 is without a doubt an enjoyable game. The epic scale of the universe is greatly captured offering moments of fun as you try to survive the enemy onslaught. However, the one-note combat system and the limited enemy variety can't help but lead to a sense of repetition halfway the campaign.

Wild Hearts is a decent proposal for the hunting genre and especially for those that seek something more accessible. At the same time the karakuri (construction) mechanism is a good and quite clever addition to the genre.

The new addition to the Space Hulk franchise is doing justice to the name it carries, with well designed campaigns, decent presentation and addictive gameplay. On the downside, the implementation of the Cards nearly breaks the game, making it repetitive and very slow.

We are definitely pleased seeing the return of Abe, one of the most beloved heroes of the PS One generation. We are more than pleased that it retains the essence of the gameplay while also modernizing it. We are thrilled in the prospect that Abe’s saga will continue. At the same time, we really hope that the next adventures will be accompanied by more reliable gameplay mechanics and less of the tired industrial environments.

With two immensely large islands to explore and dozens of cars to use, TDU lives up to its legacy. Too bad the graphics look so outdated.

The "toys-to-life" mechanics are very well implemented -although not essential- in this beautiful and well crafted open-world space shooter. If you can overlook its repetitive nature and the absolute chore that are the side missions, in Starlink you'll find a quite enjoyable experience suitable for young and older gamers alike.

Primordia is ticking almost every box. It has an amazing setting with a deep back-story and lore, and some wonderful gameplay ideas. It is a pity though the main storyline and the puzzles struggle so much to keep up and don't quite manage to live up to enticing prospect.

With two immensely large islands to explore and dozens of cars to use, TDU lives up to its legacy. Too bad the graphics look so outdated.

It’s not a bad game nor a very good one. It can offer 2-3 hours of non-stop action (that is if you skip the lengthy cutscenes) but it will probably be forgotten the moment you finish it. BunnyLord should seriously consider a more rigid campaign if he tries his changes on another election.

Shin Megami Tensei V is an overall decent game that retains all the familiar characteristics of the series (i.e. high challenge, great demons to fuse with and grinding). However, this new entry is a missed opportunity that lacks impact due to its performance issues and the repeatable areas of exploration.

The System Redux edition looks stunning with all the advantages of the new generation consoles, but besides that, there is nothing essentially new or improved.

Bard’s Tale IV: Barrows Deep captivates the player with it’s majestic atmosphere and music, while offering a well narrated, but generic story. Turn-based battle is more than satisfying and the frequent puzzles enrich the gameplay options. On the other hand, inventory management is a nightmare and using the same abilities may become tedious after a while. Many technical problems, especially low fps and crashes spoil the overall experience.

The entertainment you'd get through a LEGO game is a given and it's a fact for Marvel's Avengers too, but the truth is that the concept is getting more tiresome with every new addition to Tt Games' franchise.

Disciples: Liberation is a vast turn-based/ RPG/ city management hybrid that would have been great if some aspects of the game were trimmed down.

On the other hand, the writing is juvenile and the low level of challenge can make the game feel tedious.

Rise of New Stars offers a great anime experience by utilizing the unique football match rhythm of the anime series and by using great anime visuals.

Α solid modern RTS that is in the same vein as the ’90s classics. The game by Eugen Systems is optimized perfectly and provides distinctive factions that require demanding resource management, featuring a plethora of different units. Unfortunately Act of Aggressions can’t help but feel generic due to its seriously underdeveloped campaign.

The well written story, mostly an afterthought in the majority of the games of its kind, is a very welcomed surprise in Katana Zero. The gameplay as well provides brutal, frenetic, challenging and utterly satisfying encounters. Alas, the whole content is finished in less than 3 hours leaving as with just a small part of a larger story arc, as it seems, and a limited number of levels that are not even close in giving as the impression that we had our fill from the action.

The game-ending glitches can be a real pain and the same goes for some of the developers choices concerning the use of the GamePad. But if you are willing to look past those problems you'll be left with a true and immersive survival horror experience.

With its "monstrous" content, great controls and the creation of a megaserver for the whole of Europe, it's certain you'll spend many hours with this one. But beware of the annoying issues its design has between the single and multiplayer experience.
