Very well designed multiplayer Zelda experience. Online and especially local multiplayer are incredibly fun. Do not waste your time if you are planning to play alone though.- PLAY! Zine

Sony made a great decision in bringing this charming IP to PS4. Just like the Vita version, Unfolded has the same great feel of utilizing the hardware in an interesting and fun way.- PLAY! Zine

Designed by passionate horror fans, Until Dawn is a love letter to the era of slasher movies, a game fully aware of its ridiculousness that asks players to join it for one heck of a ride. Whether you play it by yourself or with a friend or two, this is an adventure worth partaking in.- PLAY! Zine

If a football game with various fantasy races sounds like a great idea to you, then you can't go wrong with this game. With deep and rewarding systems, Blood Bowl 2 is a great starting point for newcomers to this series and a logical upgrade for fans of the previous installments.- PLAY! Zine

If you compare it to the previous installments you might feel disappointed. If you compare it to the rest of the gaming industry, then you’ll experience the ingenious excellence. The mixed feelings between an unfinished story and premium gameplay fail to ruin the greatness of what The Phantom Pain really is. But you won’t be able to shake off the regret of great not being even greater.- PLAY! Zine

Aterdux Entertainment decided to make an interesting low fantasy mix of adventure, turn-based strategy combat and RPG elements. Legends of Eisenwald offers many hours of fun, enjoyment and, unfortunately, a myriad of shortcomings all packed together.- PLAY! Zine

Clever as ever, and as much poetic. The game does not bring much in the sense of new content, but extends the successful formula to deliver another puzzle-ish bloodbath. May be pricey, but it's pretty spicy.- PLAY! Zine

As a whole, Broken Age is a must-play for any fan of point-and-click adventures. However it is pretty obvious that the game is forcibly split into two acts and if you have waited for a whole year to see the conclusion of the game’s story, you’re probably going to end up disappointed.- PLAY! Zine
