Even though it has lots of shortcomings and it’s not suitable for everyone, Fragments of Him deals with sensitive subjects in a delicate way and offers a unique two-hour journey to the human emotions.

When Pokemon meets Tekken, wild brawls are about to take place in the Ferrum region. A fun addition for the Nintendo Switch; might not be able to easily persuade old players to give it a try again, but can easily win the hearts of newcomers with a gameplay that is compelling, deep and addictive.

Overall Destiny 2 manages to satisfy while it fails to impress. Even though it certainly offers way more content than its predecessor, it does not strive to make a bold step to exceed expectations. Some may say that this should not have been a sequel in the first place and they are not entirely wrong. From a technical standpoint and judging by the abundance of content, it rightfully deserves to be called a sequel. However, when it comes to the story and campaign, it could have just as easily been another expansion to Destiny.

A true sports simulator of the highest quality, offering the complete package for every basketball fan. Amazing gameplay and visuals, shiny presentation, a parade of big names and – you guessed it - microtransactions. Lots of them. For a game that supposedly represents the urban hoods and the streets, it often feels like a consumer stroll through a digital Walmart…

Utawarerumono Mask of Truth is a hybrid JRPG/ Visual novel that gives a long awaited closure to the series. A closure that will satisfy everyone who has been waiting for the end of this saga for so many years.

Death of the Outsider has neither the out-of-this-world level design nor the masterful story writing of Dishonored 2, but it does not fail to impress as it offers a true Dishonored experience and a satisfying closure to the “Kaldwin Era”.

Probably the best racing game we have played in years. Project CARS 2 is a fine distill of all the elements that create a great modern racing game. Realistic physics, superb graphics, flawless handling. Everything is perfected to the minute detail, offering an experience like no other in the genre.

After the almost disastrous game of 2016, Kylotonn listened to the complaints of the community and corrected many of the problems. The result is a truly exhilarating racing game, with a touch of simulation, that manages to transfer to the player the sense of speed and danger when driving in the difficult conditions of WRC. There’s still room for improvements, but the right path has been set.

A hymn to the beauty of the round goddess, PES 2018 boasts the finest and most direct gameplay to ever grace a football title alongside a few interesting additions from last year. However, off the pitch things seem to have really fallen behind the competition. It is time for KONAMI to revolutionize things like the menus, modes and licences, in order to give meaning to this otherwise wonderful and exhilarating on-pitch action.

Sudden Strike 4 is a thrilling Real Time Tactics game, which gives a realistic insight in some WW 2 decisive battles. There is a unique balance among the various units of the Ally, Soviet and Nazi army, which allows for many and different tactical approaches, but is held back by terrible pathfinding, airy skirmish and multiplayer and static, unresponsive AI, to be deemed as classic in the genre.

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

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.

After a long absence from portable consoles Samus is back with a seemingly old adventure, which has been revamped and looks better than ever. Old and new players alike can explore the homeland of the Metroids using weapons and skills that didn't appear in the first game, whereas Nintendo highlights a bright future for a series that deserves to be back.

The writing in this first episode is nowhere near as good as the one in the original game. Thus what we get is a rather bland introduction to the prequel that just creates a hope for a better narrative in the future.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is such an enjoyable and well made game that would make you wonder if other studios can create games for Nintendo as good as herself? Who knows, maybe now is the time for Rare to rise again from the oblivion.

The update in the graphics and the co-op mode are truly welcomed additions and the gameplay is as addictive as ever. On the downside, The Escapists 2 gives the impression of a big expansion rather than a new game as it often creates a feeling of been here, done that.

Agents of Mayhem tries and in parts succeeds in reminding us of the golden days of our childhood. Cartoons, evil geniuses, good guys, stylish humor (mostly hit-or-miss) and, of course, tons of pure, entertaining action. The variety between the well-designed Agents is what truly makes the game shine, and it’s a shame that the open world of Seoul is so repetitive and, despite the many colors and explosions, dull. It basically emulates every part of a classic “mediocre open-world game”.

The transition of this beloved series to the PS4 gave us a fun and quite enjoyable game. Easy to pick up, but hard to master, suitable for almost every one and packed with content and modes, Everybody’s Golf is that pretty little game that you’ve probably been looking for, for when you need to relax.

A great JRPG which will satisfy friends of the genre as it offers an interesting story, well-written characters, satisfying challenge and a great battle system.

This year the official game of the Formula One championship is better than ever, with rich content, a great career mode and superb graphics. 2017 will definitely be the year of the racing genre.

Night Trap was, and still is, a bad game. Actually, you can hardly even call it a game. But, in all of it’s cheesiness, playing it today didn’t felt so bad as we thought it would. It is not a game you would recommend to a more traditional player, but for history buffs and B-movie/slasher fans it feels like home. A home full of traps, but still a home though.

It’s a pure beat ‘em up game, with satisfying and fast combat albeit without any effort to provide anything we haven’t seen before. Its repetitive nature goes without saying, raising the guilt part of this guilty pleasure offering exponentially with each passing hour.

Unfortunately, even though Observer has its moments, it is nevertheless inferior in almost all aspects when compared with the uniquely horrifying experience offered by Layers of Fear. The decently crafted intrusion of people’s minds cannot overcome the absence of world building as well as the derivative main plot. Worth mentioning that Rutger Hauer may seemed a right choice on paper but in reality its disinterest with his role is almost palpable.

A great choice for fans of the genre with a plethora of game mode choices and a satisfying degree of challenge that will occupy them for many hours.

Not the best piece of work from the guys that probably know twin-stick shooters better than anyone else. Matterfall is beautiful and visually impressive, but feels rushed and is way too short with limited to no replay value.

Lost Legacy retains the amazing beauty of Uncharted 4, channelled here through the amazing vistas and monuments of the Indian landscape. You should be warned though that Chloe’s charisma is hands-down inferior to the one of Nathan.

When the short-sized, colorful creatures travel from a home console to a portable one, unexpected things can happen! It is a game that vastly differentiates from its predecessors, but still manages to keep the essence of the franchise intact! An overall fun addition on the go.

Senua’s descent to the darkest corners of psychosis is one of those rare gems which proves that videogames can use their strengths to tell a story with such efficiency that no other storytelling medium could replicate. Hellblade let us be Senua, and by that it let us see through her perception of reality, and on some level understand it.
