An interesting dystopian setting, combination of stealth and RPG games, with a rich environment waiting for you to explore it.- PLAY! Zine

This is still the good old Street Fighter, where the bouts are decided in the blink of an eye, flashy and difficult to master. It's not the most expansive fighting game content-wise, but Capcom will be adding free content throughout the year, making SFV a "gaming service" and without the need to release several different editions which would only segregate the audience. Street Fighter V has a very bright future.- PLAY! Zine

Blade & Soul is a complete MMO package. The combat is excellent, it has a deep crafting system and highly developed PvE and PvP that are constantly being expanded. If you grew tired of the same old MMO formula, give this gem a try.- PLAY! Zine

If you have even a tiny bit of interest in this subject, you won't go wrong with buying Farming Simulator 17. And, admit it, it was about time to send that old FarmVille down the drain.- PLAY! Zine

If you loved what Stranger Things did with 80s, you will love this game. Retro text adventures are a hard thing to sell to modern generations, but this game knows how to do it.- PLAY! Zine

It might not become the next eSports craze, but Fractured Space does manage to provide a zen experience that is so often absent from the multiplayer games.- PLAY! Zine

The game that is borderline uncomfortable to play or even look at, Devil Daggers is a hellish nightmare in which its inhabitants and sounds will keep haunting you, but you’ll keep returning to it, trying to stay there for just a moment longer.- PLAY! Zine

This standalone expansion is not worth the asking price, but if you played Martyr and liked it, Prophesy will be a great addition to your 40k library during a Steam sale.- PLAY! Zine

A prime example of "Easy to learn, hard to master" kind of a game, with hard, but extremely rewarding and challenging gameplay mechanics.- PLAY! Zine

Torment excels at great narrative and storytelling, colorful characters and integrative quest lines. Wonderful and weird world of Numenera will soak you in for dozens of hours, but weak fight mechanics will definitely turn off some hardcore RPG players.- PLAY! Zine

RE: Village is a mixture of almost all previous Resident Evil elements, making the most of both survival horror and puzzle intensity, but with the primary stage being left for the more action-like nature of Resident Evil 4. It has some great story moments, sprinkled with a few lacklustre characters that are still overshadowed by its most notable characteristic – most detailed environment to date.- PLAY! Zine

How do you make a great aRPG? Just take everything fans love about the genre, gather core developers from Iron Lore Entertainment, take a pinch of Diablo and a hefty amount of Lovecraft, Barker and King. This is how you'll get Grim Dawn, a must-have game for every true dungeon-crawl fan.- PLAY! Zine

Full Metal Rumble upgrades the Tiny Metal formula, making it an even deadlier time consumer than it ever was. It offers a great training for the mind while being entertaining at the same time. It is an echo of the Advance Wars legacy that delivers anything a fan would want, and so much more.- PLAY! Zine

Tokyo Dark Remembrance is a really interesting dark indie game that mixes point-and-click with visual novel story telling. Its rather casual approach will easily grab even new players. And its only faults come in the form of it being too short.- PLAY! Zine

Wreckfest remains one of the best demolition racing games of the newer generation, made with love, grit and grind. It has a bit of a bland map design and a few tweaks here and there could make the career mode much more interesting, but at the same the time it is one of the most fun racing experiences, especially in multiplayer and with an excellent PS5 upgrade.- PLAY!

Bleeding Edge brings refreshments to the hero-shooter genre, with complex gameplay, variability in play-styles and crazy characters. Unfortunately, the content offered here is not much, and Ninja Theory should work on this aspect in the future.- PLAY! Zine

Despite a slightly shallow and at times boring campaign, Eternal Lords expansion hits the spot in skirmish mode, where it matters the most. With more playable races, and more strategic options to choose from, this makes for a good expansion for an already great main game.- PLAY! Zine

Amount of work put in this game is incredible. It was hard to imagine that one game with combine classic FPS mechanics with supernatural abilities, but here we are. Bright Memory is a short but sweet experience, more of a demo than a game, but it will probably be compensated with the next planed game.- PLAY! Zine

It might not be the most original idea ever, but it is a solid twin-stick brawler with familiar elements from card games. And we just can't stop playing it.- PLAY! Zine

A digital board game that puts you in a role of one of greedy, corrupted gremlins that fight each other over power and money. With intelligent design, amazing artwork and easy to grasp rules, this is a game worth buying. If only it wasn't lacking local multiplayer.- PLAY! Zine

Set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic world, Shardlight is another great point & click adventure game from Wadjet Eye that might not have the greatest graphics, but tells a grounded story of scary, but possible future of mankind.- PLAY! Zine

MW2 Campaign Remastered is everything you can expect from a remaster of one of the best CoD campaigns and FPS campaigns in general. It looks better, it feels better, even with its occasional audio issues. Still, it is a bit short, and unless you are a true fan or just nostalgic about those days you played it, it is hard to recommend to anyone else, due to its lack of multiplayer and lack of longevity.- PLAY!

Of many mainstream superheroes, Batman is among the darkest and most mature, which is the tone TellTale absolutely managed to hit. This is a great start to a potentially amazing season, with familiar gameplay but palpable atmosphere.- PLAY! Zine

RAD brings us back to the 80s and 90s of the future, where the mutation is still good and it grants you the most insane powers that you can imagine. Can you utilize them to bring the power back to the people who already suffered the apocalypse twice? It's up to you to never surrender, in this imaginative and weird roguelike that is clearly not fine, but double the fine! Or just play it while waiting for Psychonauts 2, that should work fine as well.- PLAY! Zine

A must-play for fans of the Deponia series and adventure game fans in general. The latest in the Deponia series is as witty and gorgeous as its predecessors, but just on the verge of stretching the series too thin.- PLAY! Zine
