Most if its initial problems of technical nature are now addressed and Trine 3 truly shines. It may be the shortest Trine to date, but its probably the most beautiful one.

Featuring a new world, a new, colorful cast of characters and brilliantly designed environments, Bravely Default 2 can be an absolute trait for a significantly large amount of time. It does fall short, though, on all the shortcomings of the genre; unsurprising and often predictable plot elements, the need for grinding and the challenge, which is there, and requires the player to trod carefully.

While Attila has most of the issues that accompanied Rome 2, it manages to stand on its own with some nice all around improvements and a strong, exciting campaign story in a brand new historical era for the Total War series.

For the first time western gamers have the opportunity to play this great game, but you must be warned that Romancing SaGa 3 is implementing all the familiar features of the series, like the high challenge and the intense grinding. Inevitably, this means that this hardcore game is not suitable for everyone.

Dying Light 2 is improving the first game in almost every aspect. Be that as it may some of the improvements, such as in the combat system, are not enough to truly make them excel. On the other hand, it needs to be said that its parkour system creates new standards for the first-person genre as well as the design of the city creates an organic playfield for this method of traversal.

Crimson Desert is an enormously ambitious game, both figuratively and in scope. We’ve rarely seen a single-player experience this large, in terms of content and mechanical variety. Even 100 hours in, we’re still discovering new areas, traversal methods, and bosses. However, it also proves that no matter how high the quality of the content (at least in a single-player game) diminishing returns eventually set in. In the end, a mediocre story does little to support the experience, and the initial excitement gradually gives way to a dull sense of routine.

Football Manager 2017 is an excellent football management experience, with tons of information and an incredible depth in every field of management. The engine is solid, running smoothly, but it needs a complete upgrade in the future.

While it has some shortcomings when it comes to its design, Farpoint is a superb example of what can be achieved in VR games when developers think outside the box and don’t just try to port traditional gaming ideas over to VR.

Even though it lasts 2.5 hours this single player DLC for Naughty Dog's masterpiece is a must-have for anyone who traveled with Ellie and Joel in the original game.

With the use of updated physics, great graphics and a large number of fighters UFC 2 is for us the best MMA game to date.

The Devil in Me may not redefine the series, but it's the first title from Supermassive Games where it actually shows that the developer is trying to improve the recipe.

Children of the Sun has a truly unique premise, an achievement that has become quite rare, even for the always imaginative indie scene.

It may not be groundbreaking, but Toxic Commando still delivers unadulterated fun. No grind, no chores, just good old-fashioned zombie shooting. With three friends along for the ride, spreading mayhem across the map, it becomes a truly satisfying experience. As a bonus, John Carpenter’s signature synth soundtrack perfectly brings the grindhouse atmosphere to life.

Even though it has been more than a decade since we first saw LocoRoco on the PSP, this gem retains all of its shine and charm.

Ron Gilbert and the team over at Double Fine delivered a clever puzzle platformer that will get you hooked in a unique and humorous world.

The strange mixing of elements from different genres works amazingly giving a sweet rhythm to the game. Their implementation does not deviate from a more casual approach and the truth is that it leaves us a little unsatisfied for an implementation with more depth, for the sole reason that it works so well.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a fun Borderlands fantasy spin-off that manages to create its own identity. The great gunplay and the series trademark humor, combined with the fantasy setting, create a game that is a joy to play and a must-buy for Borderlands fans.

My Hero One’s Justice 2 proudly belongs to the category of sequels that do things better and push the series forward. With more content available compared to the original game, lots of characters, great visuals and an overall anime feel, My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a fun fighter that does things right for the most part.

BlueTwelve definitely managed through its first title to implement in an excellent way the vision that was behind the main reason for the creation of the studio: To develop a game in which -although it suffers in terms of limited gameplay and easy riddles and puzzles- the player will feel like a cat.

The first "cross platform" game by Microsoft has some great features, like the asynchronous multiplayer mode, unique art direction and great replay value. Probably a must-have for strategy enthusiasts.

An ideal game for family fun through its co-op mode and the overall low challenge and charming aesthetic. This is not a LittleBigPlanet sequel, but a quite pleasing, diverse and lengthy 3D platformer that shows the power of the PS5 in its own, cute way.

A game far superior to United Front's Modnation Racers that takes the true spirit of LittleBigPlanet to a whole new level.

While it has been accused of cloning the Super Smash Bros. franchise, in the end All-Stars Battle Royale is a game with its own character that will certainly satisfy the PlayStation die-hard fans.

They Bleed Pixels arms the player with tight controls and a wonderful checkpoint system in a frustrating yet high challenging, dark-themed platformer that will put your skills to test.

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.

One of the most frightening games ever created, period. The Wii version may not have any truly new additions (besides the 3rd person camera), but itʼs a game you must play whichever console you own.

A weak story that is balanced by a superb achievement in graphical clarity. And that goes for the console versions as well.

While itʼs not particularly interesting mechanically as a shooter, The Line is a surprisingly bold game – itʼs not here to entertain, but rather to provoke. The story might not be without problems, but the way itʼs told, integrated through gameplay, is a welcome first for the genre; hereʼs hoping more developers learn from it.
