Somerville is a quite troubled game. Its biggest flaw though is how often we spent more time trying to figure what the developer had in mind for the riddles, and less time with trying to solve the actual riddle.

Surely not one of Platinum Games' best moments, but as a budget title this online brawler can offer some enjoyable mindless action.

Sadly Bound may be undeniably beautiful but in the most superficial kind of way. The problematic depiction of its overarching allegorical plot fails to provide substance to our experience and the extremely elegant animations are nothing more than a showpiece lacking any actual connection with the world around them.

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.

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.

The second chapter in the Dark Pictures Anthology is a major improvement over Man of Medan. With better pacing, a well written story and a great multiplayer mode, Little Hope is ideal for fans of horror and their friends.

Unfortunately Just Cause 3 turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of this year. It’s marred by erratic frame rate, excruciatingly long loading times accompanied by extremely basic mission design, and an island that seems like it was enlarged tenfold by just copying and pasting the same environmental assets over and over again.

Milestone has managed to deliver a game full of great motorcycles and a superb career mode that will keep you hooked for many hours. On the downside, the developer should consider upgrading its technology, a technology that is responsible for some dated graphics and one of the poorest AIs we've encountered on a racing game.

Apsulov is a by-the-numbers walking simulator with pretty, mildly interactive environments, the annoyance of stealth sections and a 4-5 hours story. Be that as it may, we can’t deny that we've had a pleasant visit in the amalgamation of sci-fi laboratories with artifacts and environments inspired by Norse mythology.

ANNO: Mutationem definitely has its charm in its niche aesthetic. The amalgamation of 3D environments with the 2D sprites works quite well with the cyberpunk setting, evoking a pleasant PS One feeling. It’s a shame then that the story is derivative and nonsensical in many ways. It doesn’t help that the action is borderline generic albeit there is a commendable effort for an expansive bestiary of regular mobs and bosses.

Even though the core WWII game remains one of the better CoD installments the same cannot be said for the Resistance DLC pack. The genuine new content is disappointing in both numbers and quality.

A fine puzzle adventure game, with an intriguing, deep storyline, great pacing and a multitude of interesting and challenging puzzles.

A typical but well made metroidvania game, with a very large map and elevated difficulty that will appeal to all fans of the genre.

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.

An entertaining adventure game with a good level of challenge and gorgeous art.

It's could never a good sign when a musical game isn't in the position to offer a memorable playlist. Unfortunately, Samba de Amigo is a forgettable experience which at best may offer a few laughs when played with friends.

The radical re-imagining promised by the creators of WWE ʼ12 does sometimes shine through some of the choices made here, but it will probably take even more future installments for us to be able to see it properly.

A beautiful experimental indie game, Hohokum manages to offer an exhilarating experience in a surreal and psychedelic world that aims in its exploration rather than the pursuit of completing goals. As fascinating as it is the complete absence of objectives as well as its peculiar design will surely divide players into lovers and haters camps.

If your wallet can handle the on-going need for new figures, play sets and power discs that this game desperately needs in order to fully deliver its goods, then by all means by this for your kid.

After the release of Skyrim VR we were expecting something similar for Doom. Unfortunately what we got is a quite short spin-off that showcases the perks of VR, but fails to deliver the overall superb experience of the original (2016) Doom.

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.

Pokémon Scarlet/Violet had the potential to become the most exciting adventure in its entire history. New battle mechanics, an improved UI and a gameplay that has matured over the years, along with the appearance of an open-world region, could have been the game that all fans deserved. Ultimately though, The Pokémon Company delivers a rough-on-the-edges, unpolished and underdeveloped game, with an amount of graphical and technical inconsistencies that reveal the lack of time the developers had.

Its unique art direction and old school gameplay will certainly appeal to gamers who grew up with adventure games of the 90s.

One of the best collections ever compiled. If you consider yourself a true hardcore gamer, you should definitely own agent's 47 initial adventures.

With a well-written and quite interesting story this indie Walking Simulator/ Horror game features a subject rarely seen on video games (that of the Eastern Christian Church) and delivers an atmospheric journey to the supernatural.

With its enjoyable battle system and great co-op mode, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a decent tribute to kung-fu movies of the 70s.

Using ideas from Borderlands & Dead Rising and creating a unique setting, Techland's latest game delivers a solid experience, but not without its share of problems.

New Dawn retains all the good elements from Far Cry 5 -like the intense gunplay, the beautiful graphics and the massive open world- and tries to implement new ideas with its "Light RPG" mechanics. And while some of the new ideas really work, you can't help but get the feeling that you've seen and done everything before, but this time you’re doing them in a "post-apocalyptic" world that feels uninspired and bland.
