    Gemini: Heroes Reborn
    Although it has problems going against it, Gemini: Heroes Reborn has some great ideas and fun gameplay that make-up for it’s shortcomings.

    Hero and Daughter+
    Hero and Daughter+ boasts tons of dungeons to explore, powerful girls to summon, and enemies to defeat. Unfortunately, this seems to be a case of quantity over quality, as most of the characters have flimsy backstories and there are very few surprises. Instead of being treated to a richly detailed story about the world and its inhabitants, making progress largely feels like a joyless numbers game.

    Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2
    Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is addicting, charming, and packed with more content than you can shake a husk of corn at. If you didn’t play the first Garden Warfare, now is the time to give it a go.

    Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition
    Fire Emblem: Fates is easily one of the biggest and most intimidating entries in the series, but the refined systems and sheer breadth of content, mixed with a colorful and memorable cast of characters, makes this a grand offering for both Fire Emblem faithful and newcomers alike.

    Street Fighter V
    Street Fighter V is a masterclass in fighting mechanics, but doesn’t offer enough content to necessarily justify buying in just yet unless you’re among the most die-hard competitive players.

    Franchise Hockey Manager 2
    Franchise Hockey Manager 2 is a wonderful entry for hockey into the world of sports simulation, and is of the highest quality in terms of design, layout, navigation, and accuracy. Nothing particularly special to look at when compared to other “action” sports titles, Franchise Hockey Manager is for hardcore hockey fans who are more interested in Euroleague transfer rules than on-the-ice action.

    Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
    While some problems that weren’t present in the Vita version have made their way into Danganronpa on PC, everything that makes the game great is still intact on the platform.

    Layers of Fear (2015)
    Layers of Fear is an incredible, mind-bending horror game. The gorgeous environments are both detailed and terrifying, and the story will captivate you as you work to unravel all the threads. What it lacks in polish it makes up for in how obsessed you’ll become with finishing the masterpiece.

    Atelier Escha & Logy Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky
    There are countless fun, modern JRPG experiences to be had on the Vita, making this an entirely expendable game.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Attractio
    Fun, quick paced, but a little clumsy, Attractio is passable and provides a fun and unique alternative to a shooter.

    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
    The Playstation 4 version of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime lives up to all the thrills and expectations set by the other editions. None of the potential stumbling blocks of should-be-easy ports are observed and fans of the original should find themselves right at home.

    The Witness
    One of the most cohesive and intricate releases you can find, but not for the faint of heart.

    Unravel
    Yarny heads a fantastic 2D platformer that suffers from one or two issues, but ultimately becomes one of the more enjoyable experiences in recent memory.

    Arslan: The Warriors of Legend
    Arslan: Warriors of Legend does a great deal more right than it does wrong, but you would likely already need to be fan of the Koei Warriors games to think so.

    The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything
    The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything is a strange little game that provides a satirical commentary on society today in both smartly subtle and knock-you-on-the-head obvious ways.

    Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
    Cyber Sleuth evokes nostalgia while also pivoting in tone and setting for fans who have grown older. The disorienting lack of story direction in the first half is made up for when its mysteries finally come to light, and it makes Cyber Sleuth’s world a great one to spend hours training Digimon in.

    Firewatch
    Firewatch is a beautiful story of escapism and loss, set against the beautiful Wyoming wilderness. The physicality of your interactions, the excellent radio conversations, and poignant writing and imagery are hindered only by slight issues in presentation and technical hitching. It’s grounded, human, and one that you’ll be eager to talk about for days after the credits roll.

    XCOM 2
    It is rare when the sequel surpasses its predecessor, but XCOM 2 does it with style and verve.

    Fortified
    Clapfoot has created a tower defense game unique to the Xbox One console. With a strong sense of style, AI companions and a moderate amount of shooter control, this might just scratch your strategy itch. It’s too bad then that it isn’t as accessible, and relies on repetitive gameplay with a steep difficulty to add gameplay hours to its otherwise short campaign and limited maps.

    Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
    Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam excels at RPG combat, but is bogged down by tedious minigames and a disappointing story.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Rise of the Tomb Raider: Baba Yaga - The Temple of the Witch
    Baba Yaga is a good excuse for another adventure with Lara, but it doesn’t hook quite as deep as its base game. Besides an excellent boss fight and a few major moments, nothing here stands out from the fold.

    Hex: Shards of Fate
    HEX Entertainment has found success by blending the strengths of traditional trading card games with the possibilities of a digital platform.

    Shooting Stars!
    Shooting Stars can provide some thrills due to its solid bullet-hell focused gameplay systems. The mechanics are tight and the special pick-ups diversify the combat a bit. But at the end of the day, its comedy feels more painful than enjoyable. The fact that it is thrown your way constantly only makes it more unenjoyable. It simply feels forced.

    Klaus
    Klaus is a thought-provoking platformer that usurps expectations and will stick with you long after you’ve finished playing.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Slybots: Frantic Zone
    Slybots: Frantic Zone has its redeeming aspects as both a single-player and multiplayer game, but without much variety in content or gameplay, the entertainment value wanes fairly quickly.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider
    The Xbox One version is no slouch, but if you’ve got the kit to run it, this is the ultimate edition you’ve been waiting for.

    Gravity Rush Remastered
    The core of what Gravity Rush is is still here and still great, but what problems the game originally had aren’t fixed by the visual update, and some of them are even made worse.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    LEGO Marvel's Avengers
    LEGO Marvel’s Avengers’ ties to the cinematic universe make it less imaginative than its comic book predecessor, but excellent superhero gameplay makes up for it. This is one of the best LEGO games yet and a must-play for any Marvel fan.

    Crashlands
    With its convenient gameplay mechanics and detailed design, time easily flies while playing this enjoyable game.

    This War of Mine: The Little Ones
    A fun, yet difficult survival game that fans of Don’t Starve, and the like, will most certainly enjoy. It takes a chance in telling the story of war from a rarely seen civilian angle, but ultimately doesn’t deliver an engaging narrative. The addition of children doesn’t add much to the original 2014 release besides a few new items to craft. And the potential for a great and addictive survival experience is hindered by a wonky combat system.
