Space Hulk: Deathwing’s atmosphere is riveting. The Space Hulk lore is being animated before the gamer’s eyes and while the shooting and tactical aspects of this team-based first person shooter are solid, the single player campaign can easily bore the player. The co-op in Codex Astartes mode is the best experience, gameplay-wise, that the game can offer.

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.

Resident Evil 7 is quite possibly the most terrifying RE game since the start of the series. The dismissal of the action gameplay ushered in RE4 works wonders and the game, while not perfect, finally returns to its roots, as an honest survival horror game.

After years of absence, Pendulo managed to take the good ideas of the average first game and create an exciting, dark mystery that not only answers all the past answers but surpasses the previous Yesterday game in every single aspect of its design. It reminded us how true sequels should be made.

Even though the setting is interesting and the overall atmosphere is beautiful some serious gameplay issues along with the terrible A.I. and the poor graphics make this game a missed opportunity.

Steins Gate 0 is a great game that surpasses its predecessor a fact that makes it a must-play for the fans of the series.

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.

Killing Floor 2 delivers what it promises. Mindless, explosive, bloody killings of Zed hordes upon Zed Hordes. Shooting, gore and graphics are beyond satisfying, but the gameplay, due to its limited and repeated nature, falls short after some hours. Recommended for what it is, but nothing more.

Lack of Psychos, lack of timer and time limits, easy to build combo weapons which are overpowered btw, a leveling system that makes the game easier than it already is and a story that makes no sense. Dead Rising is turned into to a laughable excuse of a zombie sandbox game. Wait, wasn’t that an extra mode in Dead Rising Off the Record? Prefer the Remastered Collection.

A risky gamble of simplification and modernization from Daedelic, Silence might be a bit too simple, too easy and short to impress hardcore fans, but it is an excellent stepping stone into the genre for new gamers and one of the most incredibly looking games of all time.

If the name "Commandos" sparks a welcoming nostalgia feeling then Shadow Tactics should be a game you should not miss. Mimimi Productions manages to convince us beyond doubt that this niche and long forgotten genre is not only far from obsolete, but rather feels as fresh as the first time we put our hands in Pyro’s first endeavour.

Final Fantasy XV is like a road trip in which you will encounter beautiful challenges and will discover beautiful places, but in the end of the trip you may even forget the characters you've met. And that is not how a Final Fantasy should make you feel.

Even though some of its mechanics are indeed stuck in an older era of gaming and the camera can sometimes be painful, The Last Guardian is a unique and almost monumental game in its narration and in the way it bonds the gamer with the two protagonists. Just like it happened a long time ago with Ico and Yorda.

Though the quality of Maize’s humor is a subjective matter, we have to admit that we enjoyed this crazy descent to the top-secret facility. However, its gameplay is so simplistic and devoid of challenge that exists only to transfer us from one gag to the other, impacting the overall three hour experience.

This collection is mostly referred to the ones that haven't tried the games upon their initial release and for them is a great way to discover an era when the Assassin's Creed franchise was revolutionary and its creators were full of inspiration and great ideas, creating a monumental trilogy.

It's a decent action/ RPG game that emulates well the MMO philosophy and brings to the videogame realm the good times of the TV Series.

By taking the well known tried and reliable recipe of the old games, tweaking some of the original ideas and adding a few new ones, Game Freak delivered the best Pokemon game we've seen in years.

It might have a cliffhanger ending, poorly developed party and multiple crashes in its MacOs/Linux version, but it is hard to argue that this is the best “bad guy” RPG we have ever seen. Impressive lore, deep storytelling, meaningful choices and beautifully crafted character development make this new gem from Obsidian yet another must play for RPG aficionados.

With tons of content the best story mode ever created for a fighting game and its well known great fighting system, BlazBlue: Central Fight is the best 2D fighting surprise we’ve had this year.

Even though its style and characters are not so appealing, Watch Dogs 2 is certainly an improvement over the first game in almost every respect and one of the best games the “open-world” genre has offered in recent years.

Inspired game design, great production values, serious themes and superb gameplay make Dishonored 2 a strong contender for the Game of the Year award.

It is a testament to the genre and a game that will steal all of your time until Civ VII comes out!

A rather disappointing sequel, but still a decent entry for those who want to try out the “hunting” game genre.

There are some good additions in this package that truly show what PSVR is capable of, but they never get to be more than a glorified showcase for the technology.

An unexpectedly nice game for the launch line up of the PSVR, Headmaster manages to take the weird premise of a football headers game and enrich it with clever, challenging puzzles and rich, guilt free humor. 

The surprisingly good -albeit short- campaign along with a well balanced multiplayer mode offers a great game that should not be lost from your radar during this “FPS packed” season of the year.

Xenoraid is yet another game by 10tons that you’ll have fun playing it, but also looks poor and empty in the final sum. There is definitely talent behind that studio, but they should stop choosing quantity over quality. 

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.
