The beautiful platformer from Japan Studio hasn’t lost an ounce of its charm, and in PS4, with the enhanced resolution, it looks and feels better than ever.

Although the game remains virtually the same, the upgrade on the graphics and the fps deliver a better pace and, overall, a better game. If you are looking for a good JRPG, this edition of Star Ocean: The Last Hope is highly recommended.

If you are looking for an epic adventure that will take hours to complete, then Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a must-have! Despite some rather unjustified flaws, it is a game with a satisfying story and cast, wonderful level design, a memorable soundtrack and a deep -yet easy to pick- battle system. A must-have for all Switch owners and a glimpse of the Switch’s bright future ahead.

Those who look for a JRPG which includes a high difficulty challenge that emanates from the player's choices, will surely be satisfied from an all-time classic like Romancing Saga 2.

The spiritual successor of Road Rash, Road Redemption, offers tons of unadulterated fun. Many may find its driving too Arcady for their taste, but the rogue-like campaign experience and the tense off-road battles reward the player. The beautiful OST and a very nice old school oriented couch co-op give the game some extra lift.

Okami was a masterpiece of game design when it was first released, it was a masterpiece in its various remasters and it remains a gaming masterpiece in this edition for the PS4.

It’s quite perplexing that such a derivative dungeon crawler could be developed from the talented Frozenbyte, a studio that in the past brought the especially clever and charming Trine series. Nine parchments only retain the visual appeal (though not without repetition), in an otherwise unremarkable adventure filled with uninspired level design, lack of interesting enemies and an utterly problematic camera.

A game that could have been lots of things. It could have been a tribute to a great franchise that is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary. It could have been a place of reference for active multiplayer gaming that offers pure fun. Instead, it is a collection of mini-games that can be compared to a trip down the memory lane – an opportunity to relive good gaming moments, which is marked by lack of elements that can give this title its proper place into the Mario Party fandom.

At first glance Fallout VR impresses with its huge scale and sheer mass, and it does very well in the action/ shooting/ movement field, but it never manages to captivate a seasoned VR user due to its lack of actual virtual reality gameplay implementations and unintuitive and uncomfortable Pip-Boy controls. A game aspiring to lead the VR-gaming sector should be made for VR from the scratch.

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.

It is mind boggling how the team behind such a gem like the Book of Unwritten Tales, could take a great series like Black Mirror and release such a poorly designed game. Clunky controls, poor animation, short length, frustratingly many loading screens and an overall lack of polish make us wish the Black Mirror had remained buried underground were it belonged.

A Hat in Time proudly doesn’t shy from showing its inspirations from the 3D platform classics while radiating its own unique personality thanks to charmingly designed worlds (although we could do with a bit more of them!). It is unfortunate then that precise jumping is never as… precise as it should be. Even though it may not hinder the enjoyment by much it is nevertheless a shortcoming in an otherwise especially enjoyable experience.

Definitely not the Pokémon game that is set to include new, groundbreaking gameplay elements. However, it’s the Pokémon game that expands on the original story of the current generation, a game that is able to offer hours of gameplay to the extent that only the Pokémon series can do; but, most importantly, it is a beautiful farewell to the Alola region and to an era of Pokémon games in pure portable consoles. Looking forward to see the new heights Game Freak is going to reach with the upcoming Switch game.

Besides the immersion you get by playing this game in VR mode, there isn’t any real reason to visit the North of Tamriel again. But for those who haven’t experienced Skyrim before and are owners of a PSVR headset, this is probably the best edition to choose.

Sonic Forces has the power and the duration of fireworks. It is at points spectacularly beautiful and smooth, but it is extremely short, easy and offers little you have not seen before.

There are no actual improvements to the original game (besides the 4K resolution and some minor tweaks), but that’s perfectly fine with us. L.A. Noire is today as charming as it was when it originally came out and is probably the best depiction of a 40’s era L.A. in video games to date.

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.

Besides the nostalgia that can bring up to the ones that have played the original version, and a decent story, the remake/ remaster of Outcast is full of technical issues and a design that hasn’t aged well at all.

Rarely have we witnessed such a betrayal of a perfectly good game by the very company that owns it. Drawing the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, Battlefront 2’s progression system and Loot-fest extravaganza are downright hostile to the people who just want to enjoy the game. EA seems to have taken on the corrupted mantle of the Emperor and, despite the truly awe-inspiring Star Wars themed playground that DICE has faithfully built, Battlefront 2 has an unpleasant Anakin Skywalker vibe to it.

Even though some aspects of the game, like the visuals and the roster- have been much improved, this year’s WWE suffers from a shallow My Career mode some bugs and, of course, loot boxes.

Α good choice for those who are looking for a fast paced, easy to pick up action-RPG game with charming visuals.

Changing the setting was a wise choice, but that is not enough. In the end, the feeling you get from WWII is that of a good game, but it's something we've seen many times before - from the cliche World War II campaign and the repetitive zombies mode to the balanced multiplayer modes that later get filled with lootboxes containing stronger weapons.

So much talk around 2015’s reboot of the franchise, but still the Need for Speed series seems to be going nowhere specifically. For every step forward, Payback takes two steps back and it’s pretty obvious how. A mediocre story, poor customization choices, a controversial and completely out of place - at best – incorporation of Cards and Loot mechanisms ruin a great racing game that hides underneath.

With some very well implemented graphical improvements, new and tougher enemies to fight and a new story that lasts about 15 hours, the Frozen Wilds expansion for Guerrilla's action-RPG is a great addition to the lore and ideal for those who enjoyed the original game.

Elex is the RPG game of the old era, made by the old guard for the old guard. It has a lot of charm and magic hidden inside its massive world but its clunky elements will probably prove to be a dealbreaker for newer gamers that didn’t grew up with the same issues that persist Piranha Bytes games since Gothic.

It’s an entirely safe option for younger children, which will surely enjoy it’s low difficulty and easy environmental riddles. Fans of the genre though will have to look elsewhere, unless they want to go through it in under 5 hours with 100% completion while being on “autopilot”.

Improving in almost every single aspect of the original game -and its stand alone expansion- The New Colossus takes many bold steps with its story narrative and delivers and unprecedented gaming experience for the genre that will be much talked about in the years to come.

AC Origins is definitely a back to the roots (story and gameplay wise) effort with a great setting, a well written script and amazing visual department. The action rpg elements, though well implemented, leave much to be desired and side quests are blunt and indifferent. However, the late Hellenistic Egypt is a vibrant world with much to do and many secrets to unveil.
