    Even though it feels like (and in some ways is) a cut-down version of the Wii U game, Wooly World on the 3DS retains most of the qualities of the original, thus delivering a great platforming experience.

    Saying that Nioh is a “Souls clone” not only doesn’t do justice to a superb game, but can be quite misleading. Nioh stands on its own as a masterpiece from Team Ninja that reminds us the Ninja Gaiden glory days of the studio.

    If you ever wondered what an episode of Scooby Doo written by Tommy Wiseau would be like, Knee Deep gives you the chance to play it. Besides the bad writing though, a theatrical visual novel sounds like a good idea for a videogame.

    It does nothing more than to remind us that the NES version of Double Dragon wasn’t anything more than a seriously downgraded version of the arcade one. It doesn’t help that this tedious sequel reuses most of the old assets without even trying to bring something new.

    Alwa’s Awakening may have some shortcomings, mainly the low enemy variety and relentless backtracking, but it is nevertheless a game with challenging and clever platforming that is an easy choice for anyone who is fond of platformers from the 8-bit era.

    In a different era we would gladly pay some quarters to play for a couple of times in an arcade machine. In this era though Rise & Shine is quite forgettable. It may have one interesting gimmick, found in the manipulation of bullets, but it’s seriously underused and is combined with mediocre action, save for two well-crafter boss fights.

    Thumper manages to offer quite a fresh gameplay experience for the rhythm games genre, something that is no small feat. On the other hand its electronic music is an acquired taste in our opinion, and the repetition of tracks in its 9 levels doesn’t help.

    Space Hulk: Deathwing’s atmosphere is riveting. The Space Hulk lore is being animated before the gamer’s eyes and while the shooting and tactical aspects of this team-based first person shooter are solid, the single player campaign can easily bore the player. The co-op in Codex Astartes mode is the best experience, gameplay-wise, that the game can offer.

    Resident Evil 7 is quite possibly the most terrifying RE game since the start of the series. The dismissal of the action gameplay ushered in RE4 works wonders and the game, while not perfect, finally returns to its roots, as an honest survival horror game.

    After years of absence, Pendulo managed to take the good ideas of the average first game and create an exciting, dark mystery that not only answers all the past answers but surpasses the previous Yesterday game in every single aspect of its design.

    The sandbox approach in the winter extreme sports genre is quite a fresh and bold idea, but Steep, at the time being, is really rough around the edges. The sequel will surely be a great game, as long as it sets a goal for the player, more diversity in the challenges and less microtransactions.

    Killing Floor 2 delivers what it promises. Mindless, explosive, bloody killings of Zed hordes upon Zed Hordes. Shooting, gore and graphics are beyond satisfying, but the gameplay, due to its limited and repeated nature, falls short after some hours. Recommended for what it is, but nothing more.
    • 72 Metascore

    Lack of Psychos, lack of timer and time limits, easy to build combo weapons which are overpowered btw, a leveling system that makes the game easier than it already is and a story that makes no sense. Dead Rising is turned into to a laughable excuse of a zombie sandbox game. Wait, wasn’t that an extra mode in Dead Rising Off the Record? Prefer the Remastered Collection.

    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.

    If the name "Commandos" sparks a welcoming nostalgia feeling then Shadow Tactics should be a game you should not miss. Mimimi Productions manages to convince us beyond doubt that this niche and long forgotten genre is not only far from obsolete, but rather feels as fresh as the first time we put our hands in Pyro’s first endeavour.

    Even though some of its mechanics are indeed stuck in an older era of gaming and the camera can sometimes be painful, The Last Guardian is a unique and almost monumental game in its narration and in the way it bonds the gamer with the two protagonists.

    Though the quality of Maize’s humor is a subjective matter, we have to admit that we enjoyed this crazy descent to the top-secret facility. However, its gameplay is so simplistic and devoid of challenge that exists only to transfer us from one gag to the other, impacting the overall three hour experience.

    It might have a cliffhanger ending, poorly developed party and multiple crashes in its MacOs/Linux version, but it is hard to argue that this is the best “bad guy” RPG we have ever seen. Impressive lore, deep storytelling, meaningful choices and beautifully crafted character development make this new gem from Obsidian yet another must play for RPG aficionados.

    Xenoraid is yet another game by 10tons that you’ll have fun playing it, but also looks poor and empty in the final sum. There is definitely talent behind that studio, but they should stop choosing quantity over quality.

    The premise is there and the concept is weirdly intriguing. But in the end, this is an overpriced game with short length, various PS Move tracking issues and frigidly bad humor that is just not enough to satisfy you for more than a few hours.

    Many indie games aspire to offer a retro journey but very few of them succeeds so highly as Owlboy. We cannot think of a greater praise for Owlboy other than to say that it gives the impression of an utterly beautiful gem from the 16-bit era that somehow stayed hidden for 25 years only to be discovered now.

    Now that we have seen the new Hitman in its entirety we believe that Square-Enix and Io Interactive made the right decision in releasing this game in an episodic format.

    The Way is almost exclusively aimed at those gamers who remembers fondly Another World and Flashback. It is almost a step-by-step recreation of those games, in terms of aesthetics and gameplay mechanics, filled with diverse environmental puzzles, lethal one-hit dangers and, of course, the obligatory kind-of-unresponsive jumping mechanics.

    The Technomancer is one of those rare games in modern gaming industry. Medium budget games with AAA ambition in mind. The game offers a rich sci-fi world with tons of lore and meaningful choices, but it’s combat can be a great hit and miss and it’s graphics seem outdated. It does everything in adequate fashion, but nothing in spectacular way. We need more games like this one.

    Mankind Divided continues the legacy of its predecessors with a high quality experience on all fronts. It may have an underwhelming ending but nevertheless it provides engaging gameplay with either a stealthy or all-guns blazing approach, it provides a beautiful and detailed Prague and it manages to maturely project the prevalent racists issues of our society to its dystopian world.

    Truly organic, high quality boss fights in action games are kind of a lost art that only a few developers still put effort to retain.

    It’s a very rare hybrid (if not the only one) of side-scrolling and turn-based gameplay that functions much better than expected. Both its strength and its weakness rests in its simplicity.

    Total War: Warhammer wears its high fantasy outfit and sets off to new gameplay and setting horizons. It breathes fresh air to a –somewhat- tired franchise, thanks to the implementation of flying unit, the inclusion of asymmetrical and distinctive factions as well as the use of magic. It also brings back the series’ always-prevalent questionable A.I. (in both the strategy and the battle map alike) while also maintaining an oversimplified campaign and city management model.
