Bastion is ingenious, fresh and fun, but the way the story is evolving, and its inability to create emotional bonding with the player, is depriving Supergiant's first game of the opportunity to gain a place among the best modern "indie" creations.

Even though the scale of this edition is not as grand as its PC sibling, by now you definitely know what to expect from Minecraft.

Returnal for PC brings technical improvements while retaining the excellent gameplay and overall feel of the PlayStation 5 version. It’s a must play title for roguelike fans, but mainstream gamers that want to experience Returnal’s highly addictive fast bullet hell gunplay should be armed with a lot of patience.

It is surprising how well the developers understood the underlining reasons Sonic was so loved in the 16bit era. Gone are the autorun, the messy 3D levels and the horrible clown characters, gone is the linear cheap thrill design of the modern 3D games. In their place, we got excellent level design with hundreds of different routes, elegant design choices and supremely balanced gameplay which bring us one of the best Sonic games since Sonic & Knuckles. Pity Sega was too afraid to budget for modern graphics because they would have had a full priced, instant classic on their hands.

Desperados 3 is the latest addition to the niche real-time tactics genre and it succeeds in everything it promises. Complex stealth tactics, dynamic and diverse Wild West environments and playable characters, evoke the player’s imagination and poke him to think out of the box, utilizing the available gaming tools.

Machine Games has truly captured the essence of the first three films, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience. Troy Baker is fantastic as the titular hero, and the adventure is well-paced. However, as enjoyable as it is (and it really is), the problematic A.I. and some tedious exploration are hard to ignore.

It’s been a long time since we last saw a truly unique game from the indie scene. Pony Island fills this gap with an utterly engrossing game. Our trip into the hellish “innards” of an arcade cabinet is smartly designed.

This remaster of Persona 4 Golden is an excellent JRPG, which should not be missed by anyone who loves the genre.

Yes, the "noir" feeling of Max Payne of old is lost, but Max Payne 3 is one of the most enjoyable 3rd person shooters you can find in this generation of hardware.

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.

Year by year, EA's NHL series keeps getting marginally better. The 2011-12 edition has more options, improved AI and greater depth. But the formula is starting to feel a bit old and makes us feel that the time has come for a complete reconstruction.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a whole level above its predecessor. Almost every aspect of the game is executed better than it did in TR so what we have is the definition of a worthy sequel that establishes the revamped TR as a new gaming chapter in the industry. The only setback is the highly extreme enemy A.I. which leads to a havoc-like situations amidst several gunfights.

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.

A beautiful and extremely enjoyable racer, with tons of things to do, a great sense of freedom and one of the best "playgrounds" ever conceived for a videogame.

An incredibly fun and addictive rhythm game that takes the premise of the genre and skyrockets it to new heights with the use of VR technology and the Move Controllers. Sadly, the PS4 version lacks the rich content for the PC version that is created by the community.

Everything is there; a big hotel, threatening forces from the great beyond and tons of humor. The overall improved gameplay, the graphics and animations, the flow of the game, the dedicated multiplayer modes and the new ghosts are among the elements of Luigi's Mansion 3 that guarantee a good amount of fun --despite the series getting a turn towards multiplayer that we don’t fully enjoy.

A must-have for 3DS owners that improves over the original and features surprisingly good multiplayer action.

Dragon's Dogma 2 offers a truly distinct open world experience. Its vibrant and believable fantasy world continuously delivers surprises and memorable encounters, fostering a remarkable sense of adventure from beginning to end.

Armored Core returns with an excellent soft reboot. Its gameplay is the real star making us feel like a true pilot of a powerful mech, zooming through epic dystopic vistas and fighting highly challenging but satisfying bosses.

An excellent choice for those who want to relive a traditional dragon quest game, that comes with a lot of content, excellent visuals and a great cast of characters.

It may not win over the "hordes" of LOL gamers, but HoS has its own strengths and a unique style of play that will probably appeal to many fans of MOBA games.

Returnal is a blast to play, with nice visuals, exceptional sound production and one of the best DualSense implementations to date. There is a significant degree of difficulty that might discourage a lot of players, but the gameplay is so addictive that it keeps you coming back for more.

With almost real-life physics, a superb handling model and probably the best graphics in any racer of this generation, Forza Motorsport 7 is a serious contester for the title of racing game of the year.

With an overhauled UI the addition of Bundesliga and lots of tweaks, this year's Football Manager is a return to form for the franchise. But we're still waiting for a new 3D engine...

It’s not an easy task, but Cyberpunk 2077 manages to do justice to the hype level it created. Yes, we would like a more extended main campaign and, of course, we cannot ignore the large number of bugs. Nevertheless, CD Projekt RED created the most detailed urban settings we have ever seen, with a cyberpunk aesthetic that is beyond match.

Another great addition to the Fire Emblem series, the newest chapter offers amazing visuals, an entirely captivating story and engrossing gameplay. Neither veterans nor newcomers should miss a change for one of the best offerings for the 3DS.

Twilight Princess remains an absolutely brilliant jewel in the crown of the Gaming Industry. Almost perfect even though so many years have passed.

This is truly an homage to what Capcom has achieved with the Monster Hunter franchise to this day. The graphics on the 3DS do not do justice to its scale and scope, but this is just a minor drawback to this “monster” of a game.
