First hours with Metroid Prime 4 were overshadowed by getting to know the controls, the gameplay, the puzzles (I got frustrated!). But after a while everything clicked and all that was left was enjoyment. A lengthy development cycle must have taken its toll on the final game, but if you’re a fan of unique games, Beyond is an interesting, rare genre-bender.

Mutant Year Zero has appeared out of nowhere and turned out to be a very cool game. It's great for fans of difficult tactical games that don't want to spend millions of hours in XCOM or Jagged Alliance. Neat graphics, interesting characters, and a good storyline make this game the complete package.

The great success of Space Marine 2, which is the result of the combination of its visuals and gameplay, is the vibe not only of this very specific universe, but also of the very essence of what Space Marines are. The game is centred around what is most important in Warhammer 40k - grotesque violence treated with due severity, pathos and downright fanatical seriousness.

In Days Gone I receive all features I like in video games - atmosphere, interesting characters, realism, well-made shooting, and cool stealth mechanics. Despite that Days Gone may be a real disappointment for fans of Ubisoft's open world games - there's a lot of content but it's all based on the story-driven campaign. It's a long storyline but there's nothing else to do.

Tell Me Why is best experienced as an interactive move - discovering the unusual story of the Ronan siblings from this angle yields an extremely compelling experience. DONTNOD's new game is worth your time and money not only because it has something important to say, but also because it does so in an extremely satisfying, and gracious way.

Among the Sleep is a very interesting offer for horror fans. A very original setup and unusual way of treating a typical "scary story" produce great results and the ending will surely stick with you for a long time. The game is fairly short, but is such a breath of fresh air that fans definitely will be satisfied.

GreedFall slaps together a beautiful map, complex quests, good decision making, an in-depth setting and a really cool storyline with good character building. There are some technical issues and a surprisingly dull beginning - don't let them discourage you.

In the world of computer games, licensed products are rarely very successful. Hence we should be all the more grateful for Jurassic World Evolution and the level of quality in delivers. The creators of Planet Coaster have created an interesting, atmospheric and challenging game taht looks and sounds gorgeous. Behold, ladies and gentlemen! Here comes one of the best strategy games of 2018.

Worms Clan Wars is to Worms Revolution, what Worms World Party was to Worms Armageddon - a bigger, better version of the game. The new Worms is a game focused on online gameplay, but it can easily provide lots of fun for the lovers of classic hot seat gaming (and single player mode fans will find lots to do as well). Clan Wars isn't as great as the best installments in the series, but undoubtedly is a really cool little game.

Modern Warfare Remastered on the PS4 is one of the best remasters in recent memory. It's a game worth having - especially if we played the original only when it came out or (what's even worse) we haven't at all. And when the multiplayer issues are resolved and the game becomes a stand-alone product, it'll be great.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a remarkable adventure, and I will happily return here in the already announced story driven DLCs. It is not the best open world game but it is one of the best movie-to-videogame transfers in history.

Skyrim Special Edition isn't the prettiest remaster around and if you have a heavily modded PC version you won't find anything to take your breath away. This edition is aimed and console players - those who want to visit Skyrim for the first time, and those who want to forget the shoddy console version from the past. Besides - it's still a great game.

Planet Zoo is a great tycoon made in the age where tycoon games seem extinct. And it's pretty much the best game for animal lovers. But not for every animal lover. Patient and talented builders will create new and improved parks, achieving new levels of satisfaction. Others (and by this I mean almost everybody) will become bored after a few hours.

The Invincible is another brick on the wall of slowly turning games into a medium capable of telling stories that are clever, deep and timeless. Even if the game itself is "just" a walking sim.

Quotation forthcoming.

Keeper is a perfect game for a chilly autumn. It’s short, condensed, original, weird, colorful, and strangely relaxing. This is a game that is build 100% on vibes. If you like these kinds of adventures, give it a chance.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire brings us a cohesive world with a unique, mouse-themed noir aesthetic, an engaging detective story, and straightforward but satisfying combat mechanics. Although the gameplay itself lacks a bit of depth, I had a blast playing it.

Blackguards 2 is an improved and expanded version of the tactical fantasy cRPG from a year ago. After introducing many modifications, the battles are more dynamic but still challenging, and the player's frustration level is minimal. Repeating maps encourages trying out new tactics, and a really cool storyline is an additional motivation for playing.

Capybara Games have created a fighting system that delivers decent amounts of fun. Defeating numbers of enemies and solving some battle puzzles is extremely satisfying and all of that is magnified by beautiful, hand-drawn graphics.

Wasteland 3 is great. Brian Fargo delivers an excellent RPG as a farewell to the old generation of consoles. This game offers tons of options to shape the world, make decisions, and suffer the consequences. Despite some flaws, Wasteland 3 also offers a good combat system and keeps the player entertained.

Borderlands 3 is a terrific looter-shooter, one of the best out there, among the best in history. The game focuses on the most important thing - the gameplay. Shooting provides tons of fun and a gigantic arsenal of weapons keeps boredom at bay. It would be pretty much perfect, if not for the technical pitfalls - the game needs fixing.

It's not just that Gears of War is a classic that everyone should know. The gameplay hasn't aged at all, and in this respect, it can rival contemporary titles. The basics are incredibly easy to learn, and the story combined with the shooting provides what games are meant for: a break from the grim reality where we won't be running through ruined cities and shooting at beasts emerging from the ground.

The foundations of Anno 1800 are solid, and the game offers a diversified experience. Going back to the roots was a crucial decision, and I can say, with all certainty: this is one of the best strategy games of 2019. It's been a long while since we had such a lovely and absorbing game to play.

Spyro's new adventures are well done. If a young gamer keeps collecting all figurines and wants to visit all the locations, the game should keep him/her entertained for a long time. I had a good time and felt a bit like a kid While discovering secrets. That means the developers have put a lot of effort to make their magical world accessible to everyone.

Despite a few setbacks, The Division 2 is a good sequel from day one and should become even better in time. It seems that there wasn't any content cut from the final version, which is by no means self-evident these days. If you didn't like the first game, you probably won't find anything of interest here. But we recommend you gave it a try anyway. The design of the city is superb and combat is genuine fun.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds does not start a revolution and has a pretty weak storyline but it offers enough new and diverse content that all fans of mechanical dinosaurs wanting to return to this world after defeating Hades should play it without hesitation.

STALKER 2 did not manage to scare me off, despite many issues. The technical bugs couldn’t fight the magic of this game. It shows perfectly how hard it is to give a one, final note – both high and low notes can be justified with many arguments. It all boils down to: how much can you forgive for the opportunity to dive into the Zone?

Sniper Elite 4 is a very safe sequel - it doesn't introduce revolutionary changes but expands and improves on the things that are well known. If something isn't broken don't fix it - that's a good approach. At the same time this game quite often looks like a copy of its predecessor - the same issues are mixed with some cool improvements. All in all, fans should be really happy.
