    With improved physics and an incredible depth in gameplay, PES 2014 is a step in the right direction for Konami. The game still suffers from weak AI, lack of licenses and few innovations in their gameplay modes, but its the closest the series have come in matching PES 6, the highlight of the series.

    A few hitches and a somewhat repetitive combat system aside, Gravity Rush Remastered is a joy to play, and a big recommendation for fans of the action adventure genre. There is enough fun to be had here for both old and new Gravity Rush players, and if you’re fond of super hero themes and comic book storytelling, this is definitely worth checking out.

    Paper Mario: The Origami King offers a surprisingly charming and fun adventure with some fun platforming mechanics. I only wish the game had focused more on the role playing aspects or simply cut them away, as the battles become too dull to enjoy after the first hour or so.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a lot like its predecessor, but that's not a bad thing. Everything is bigger this time around, with more maps to explore, more missions to undertake and more unique orcs to kill and dominate. It's all great fun (albeit a little repetitive after 40 hours). A more cohesive and memorable main story would've helped the game stand out even more.

    SOMA manages to be more than a horror game, through providing logical puzzles and a story that makes more sense, and packs more punch, than most in its genre. But most of all, it provides a haunting and delightfully uncomfortable atmosphere that really makes you feel as if you have the entire weight of the Atlantic on your shoulders.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows is not a bad game, nor is it fantastic. It follows the same recipe as the series’ installments have done for a few years now, where we’re served a story full of intrigue, power struggles, and a revenge motif. The main characters, Naoe, a nimble ninja, and Yasuke, a powerful samurai, provide varied gameplay experiences, but does not quite let the player live out the full fantasy of being either. It’s unfortunate that Ubisoft does not unleash the full potential of finally having an Assassin’s Creed game set in Japan.

    Ion Fury is the ultimate retro first-person shooter that feels authentic because of its use of the ancient game engine Build. While it comes with certain limitations, it feel modern enough to be both playable and enjoyable by a 2019 audience. No story, no cutscenes – just shoot whatever moves and find hidden levers and keycards. Love it or hate it, Ion Fury brings back a certain 90s nostalgia reminiscent of Duke Nukem 3D.

    The remake of Resident Evil 3 is, like its predecessor, a technical marvel that through effective use of light, dark and intense resource management builds real, palpable horror. The campaign is unfortunately a bit short, lacking both in puzzles, truly memorable environments and replayability – especially when directly compared to last year's remake of Resident Evil 2. The multiplayer, Resistance, has a lot of good ideas, but needs some balance adjustments before it is truly great.

    The premise of Little Inferno may sound a tad odd: You buy stuff, and then you burn it. Over and over again. But in fact, this is a game unlike any other this reviewer has ever played, and in a good way. Granted, it is a small game, but it is original, self-aware, self-ironic and self-referencing bordering on the postmodern. It even creates a brand new genre for itself, namely the burn 'em up.

    Anger Foot promises and delivers shooting/kicking action at a furious pace. You don't have to sprint through each level, but the experience feels both more alive and more rewarding with the music at full blast and max pressure on the W key. If you are a fan of "speedrunning" and shooting games, this could be right up your alley. Lots of trial and error to sweep through levels as quickly and perfectly as you can. For those who don't like doing the same things over and over again, Anger Foot can quickly become tiresome. There are just a bit too many levels and far too many hopeless boss fights here. The convoluted solution for changing shoes - which gives you various advantages - is also extremely frustrating, but perhaps the developer can do something about that eventually.
