Snipperclips does everything a launch title ought to do correctly, but as much as you enjoyed it you can’t overlook that a few years back this game would have come free with a console bundle.

Its stripped down battle system and low production values have a huge impact on the overall quality of Stoics game, a game that has a unique charm but cannot earn a place next to the best "tactics" games whether they are "indie/ kickstarter" projects or not.

The level design in F.I.S.T. belongs to these excellent metroidvania games where there is just pure joy in exploration. The developer has great knowledge on what makes the genre tick, but at the same time they seem to be a bit “shy” when it comes to any form of innovative idea that would truly make them excel. Nevertheless, this is a must for fans of metroidvanias.

It's bigger, more enjoyable and quite better than its predecessors. But the formula has now been used too much. Ubisoft needs to make some major changes in the next installment.

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox follows closely the footsteps of the Ys series and at the same time it greatly enriches the gameplay and the exploration, features that deliver a great, lengthy and enjoyable game.

The sequel of Hand of Fate convinced us that its unique mix of card game and real-time combat could be more than a one-shot gimmick, though it still has a long road to achieve an even quality across all its areas. The card side of the game may be vastly improved, but the real-time combat is the part that is still quite underwhelming. Hopefully in the next iteration we'll see the combat receiving the same attention as the card side of the game.

While it's not as grand and beautiful as the PS3 episodes, Golden Abyss is a technological marvel when it comes to portable gaming.

A great remake packed with additional story content and an improved battle system, which will satisfy fans of the series.

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.

Ubisoft Reflections successfully returns the Driver franchise back to its roots by putting the action behind the wheel.

A quite decent roguelike which, with the exception of some unfair difficulty spikes, delivers in non-stop action, well-crafted gameplay and variety in its randomized levels. The mix of sci-fi and old-school pirate theme is also a plus.

With high production values and an explosive gameplay that reminded us the good old days of some great arcade, light-gun shooters, Blood & Truth delivers on its premise, with the most important downside being the obsolete technology of the Move Controllers that just can't keep up with the action.

Vertigo 2 is undoubtedly one of the standout games for PlayStation VR 2 and a must-play for shooter fans. It's safe to say that until Half-Life: Alyx arrives on PlayStation 5, this is the next best option for a story-driven shooter.

Αn unforgiving and difficult to master Turn-based strategy RPG set in a low fantasy universe, that rewards the persistent and patient player. A perpetual battle for survival and the constant need for adapting new gameplay tactics is only held back by the total randomness in many aspects of the game. This randomness is at the same time charming and repulsive.

Lego Lord of the Rings is a great retelling of a great story. With tons of hours to be had in both Story Mode and Free Roam, this isn't just another high point for the series, but perhaps the best Lord of the Rings-inspired game to date.

If you haven't tried the original Etrian Odyssey, this "remake/ re-imagining" is the perfect opportunity to experience the origins of this great franchise.

An open, isometric puzzle game loaded with tons of complex brain teasers, packed in an iconic-movie-franchise theme. But it could have been much better if it didn't carry so many mobile-gaming mentality features.

This is probably the most horrifying experience in videogames, ever!

It's been a while since we've seen a "God game", and Ubisoft brings back the genre in a truly inspiring way.

While it doesn’t quite stick the landing, loosing momentum in the last hour of the story, Oxenfree is a masterpiece in interactive storytelling, offering a unique, smooth interaction between characters that is extremely rare in the medium.

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.

Pokémon Sword & Shield brings the traditional Pokémon recipe from handhelds straight to our TVs. The new games offer plenty QoL improvements that shake up the experience and provide a fresh touch in experiencing Pokémon gameplay in the best region the series has offered so far. However, there are also lots of things The Pokémon Company needs to consider in order to improve the experience and keep offering quality titles in the future.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe makes its debut to the Nintendo Switch, after almost 6 years of slumber on the Wii U. The game is, without a doubt, a thrilling platformer that manages to blend a cast of loving 3D characters into stunning 2D levels, yet fails to deliver enough additional content to justify the word “deluxe” in its name.

Torna – The Golden Country is here to complete a journey that started ten months ago. It is the tragic tale of a continent, its people and its heroes that fills up all the empty spaces of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 lore and gives us a full perspective of Alrest and everything on it. With many improvements and interesting additions, even if some of them might not be totally welcome, the Torna expansion pack is set to satisfy even some of the most demanding players out there who lust for quality RPG tales.

Another hit from Level-5, Fantasy Life i stays true to its cosy roots while introducing plenty of new ideas and improvements. The result is a relaxing experience that also manages to challenge you creatively.

This year we got a Call of Duty with an impressive single player campaign - that offers tight and immense fights for about 6 hours - along with a wealth of multiplayer modes for literally every taste. Too bad, though, that Infinity Ward tried to keep everyone satisfied thus changing the DNA of the multiplayer mode with mixed to negative results.

Assetto Corsa Competizione will not win you over with its content, but with the unique way it manages to fit the real felling of driving a racing car to the limit inside the narrow frame of a videogame.

It may not be as grand and impressive as God of War III was back in 2010, but Ascension delivers a solid God of War single player experience along with an interesting multiplayer mode to try with your friends.
