    For the first time, this franchise shows some impressive sniper experience and the weapon system is interesting. But with the mediocre graphics and storyline, as well as some noticeable bugs, it's not so satisfying to play the game for a long time.

    It is pretty obvious that AoE II definitive edition shows more respect to players than the HD edition. Even though new AI still has some logical problem, the new contents and multiplayer lobby are interesting, and the upgraded graphic textures look impressive with 4K resolution. You will find both memories and future here.

    Infinity Ward brings back the iconic and the most anticipated single-player campaign and it looks as great as the old Modern Warfare series despite the mediocre ending. The multi-player part is as neat as usual but the spec ops is too difficult to continue.

    Rich man series have existed for more than 30 years, it is obvious that Rich Man 10 wants to "be modern", which means that adds online gameplay and gets sped up, instead of "stay retro". As a result, the game just goes half-and-half and let every fan be disappointed.

    Considered that "Variants" has been completely taken away, and "Abilities" are simplified, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville definitely failed some expectations, but now it is more rookie-friendly. We can still have tons of fun within, thanks to the new characters and maps.

    Ghost recon: Breakpoint is an ambitious sequel with so much innovation, and it actually does a great job in terms of narrative and main quest missions.

    Although The surge 2 is just another souls-like game, the special combat experience somewhat creates a unique feeling that we are playing as a human size Gundam, which is superb and impressive. Besides that, enemy's AI design and all the voice acting in the game is really frustrating.

    Without doubts, PES makes a little step further every year, and eFootball PES 2020 is surely on the right track. The Master League feels more interesting since we can now play as a famous coach. How the ball reacts to different situation in the game is far more realistic than its predecessor.

    Borderlands 3 is the best game Gearbox has ever made. The weapons are interesting and goofy, the battles are intense and tricky, and the multiple open-worlds are beautiful and full of challenging missions. For Chinese gamers, it might be the most immersive 3A game in recent years because of the wonderful Chinese voice acting.

    Dicey Dungeons is a dice-based strategy game. Everything inside the game is connected by dice, which contributes a lot to the solid and interesting combat experience.

    Three Houses is fantastic in terms of story-telling, relationship management, and graphics performance. Three different and engaging storylines make the game worth playing multiple times.

    The concept, atmosphere, and some parts of Days Gone's gameplay are very similar to The Last of Us. Considering it's an open-world game, it's even more fun than TLOS in terms of exploring. Dealing with thousands of zombies is both exciting and challenging. The story is just fine, but the ending confuses me because it doesn't make everything clear in a way that makes sense. What's more, the frame rate is unstable, and it would be much more fluent were they to fix the problem.
