LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2 is a nice and cute game, the gameplay is maybe mediocre at times and boss fights aren’t challenging, but when you play it in co-op with your friends or kids, it will give you a fair amount of fun.- PLAY! Zine

A unique combination of falling block mechanics and platformer elements that will keep you occupied for quite some time.- PLAY! Zine

Wildgate did not hook me as hard as I thought it would. I thought it would be more of a ‘’Sea of Thieves in Space’’ type of game; however, Moonshot Studios tried to do something new. For what it’s worth, I think they did it, but the novelty quickly wore off with its PvPvE approach. The matches are fun only if you have a good crew with friendly players who are there for the fun of it and not to win at all costs.- PLAY! Zine

When a remake strives to remain faithful to the original only on the surface, yet degrades deeper systems that previously made it great, it can never be good news. Upgrades to the original may not be that “brilliant” nor “shining”, but at its core, this game still manages to remain a fun Pokémon title. Compared to what the games were back in the day, this remake may be inferior, but still has plenty to offer to old and especially new players.- PLAY! Zine

This game is the closest to the original Jagged Alliance we got in the last two decades. It's a fun game but complexity is far below the standards of the original games in the series.- PLAY! Zine

Nidhogg 2 upgrades its predecessor's formula to a grotesque but charming, fast-paced stamina duels. If you have a friend interested in testing his gaming expertise against you, grab this game! If not... Well sadly, nothing to look for in here.- PLAY! Zine

This grinding-cooking game truly is a recipe to make you smile. It's simple and full of grinding but warm and positive at the same time. It will truly make you feel good and pass the time like a pro. But don't let it pass too much, life is short you know!- PLAY! Zine

Mages of Mystralia is far from a good game, but it fits perfectly on a Nintendo Switch. Monotonous gameplay and puzzles are overshadowed by the sheer number of spell combinations.- PLAY! Zine

This is a simple souls-like game and great for people wanting to get into the genre. With difficulty settings, plenty of interesting new mechanics and a fun world, it's definitely a good game to try.- PLAY! Zine

Even though the magic of the old Disney platformers is somewhat lost, Illusion Island stands as a promise that it can be rekindled. Both experienced and less skilled players can enjoy this game cooperatively, and while it may not bring anything groundbreaking to the table, it’s great to see that the charm is still there. Seems that quality adventures starring Mickey Mouse won’t be just a thing of time past.- PLAY! Zine

Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise is a decent game that can make a regular gamer move about and try to exercise. It does enough to get you going and make it interesting, but at the end of the day, it’s the will of the gamer that’s going to be needed for a regular and proper exercise.- PLAY! Zine

Influenced by the legendary Dino Crisis franchise, Exoprimal is a surprisingly fun and engaging game. Despite some repetitive missions and an occasionally unstable connection, I can safely say that Exoprimal is one of the most enjoyable titles in 2023.- PLAY! Zine

The premise and story are offering some great comedy, parody and poking at the current generations and ways of dating. Problem arises at the fact that the game mostly does only that and does not delve any deeper into the possible hilarity of it all. As for the gameplay its the every day standard point and click adventure fare. If you are new to the series its a great simple and fun start.- PLAY! Zine

Street Fighter V rises to the occasion with its Champion Edition, adding much-needed content in one whole package that was supposed to be part of original Arcade Edition. Even though it is still riddled with some of the technical issues and balance problems, it’s a most complex SF game so far and can provide hours upon hours of fun with its diverse new moves for each character and fun challenges to fulfill.- PLAY!

A short but interesting co-op survival puzzle, focused on player communication, that will take one afternoon of your free time but even with different endings doesn’t have replay value.- PLAY! Zine

Monark brings many innovations to the table, yet ultimately feels unfinished and unpolished. Many of the traditional and obsolete aspects of the JRPG genre are present, yet if you are willing to look past them in order to reach some quality – it could truly shine up your experience. Interesting characters, mechanics and setting, may not feel enough for some, but to those that just need a long game and new ways to play, Monark is a great recommendation.- PLAY! Zine

Fun and innovative fusion of Metroidvania and monster taming genre with the fast and surprisingly complex turn-based combat system. Coupled with a huge roster of acquirable monsters and over 20h of gameplay, it is well worth its asking price of only 20$.- PLAY! Zine

Reverie is an amazing culmination of so many stories and characters over multiple games. However, if you’re new to the franchise, it’s a slow, annoying, and lore dumping experience that can get really tedious, and ultimately, not fun at all.- PLAY! Zine

Monster Energy Supercross 3 is a mild upgrade over its predecessor, posing with average boring career, but some fine gameplay improvements in some of its misdoings in past. Multiplayer experience provides a lot of fun though, especially with some of smaller modes of the game, but over time, this upgrade isn’t worth your money if you played earlier installments.- PLAY!

If you manage to look past the incredibly poor graphics and voice acting that awkwardly fits, you should have a blast with the remaster of a 1993 classic. If not, this is a release you should avoid. But ultimately, games should not require overlooking of flaws to be good. For that is a major flaw by itself.- PLAY! Zine

Although it feels like a mash-up of many recognizable classics, Fe still manages to pave its own path of genuine style and feel. Length and feeling of missed opportunities indeed are pulling the final impression down, but there is a lot to love here. Though looking for it makes you feel lost a bit too often.- PLAY! Zine

Not all the fans may think New ‘n’ Tasty is a faithful representation of the original, but for the newcomers - it sure is a good starting point. While waiting for the Soulstorm, it's a great opportunity to play the Switch port of the 6 years old remake of the 23 years old game - on the go.- PLAY! Zine

Burnout Paradise Remastered is the remastered version of a legendary arcade racing game. Visually, the remaster itself doesn't give you the feeling that you're playing a modern racing game, the game is polished, but it still feels outdated. That being said, it's still fun to play if you liked the original, though now you can play in 4k and 60fps with all DLC included, and with an original banging soundtrack.- PLAY! Zine

Thrones of Britannia shifts usual pattern where storytelling is weakest part of Total War games to situation where it is it's best part in ToB. If AI and factions get upgrades, it might even turn out quite good.- PLAY! Zine

RIDE 4 isn't the best entry in the series, but it fixes a lot of its past problems. The on-track action is amazing, and no matter what track you’re on or what time of day or conditions you’re racing in, you’re in for a fun time. It’s a challenging game, but in a good way, as it encourages you to get better and offers a wide variety of difficulty options to help you along the way.- PLAY! Zine

It is no secret that The Veilguard is a very controversial game. It’s a fun action RPG that will provide you with lots of hours of entertainment, especially if you are into exploring more of the remarkable Thedas lore. Sadly, the narrative, the very thing BioWare was once famous for, is truly lackluster, providing us with weak characters, bad writing and pacing, while almost completely ignoring the previous DA titles.- PLAY!

If beautiful art, graphics quality and music are all you look for in video games, look no further. Just make sure that frustrating juggle between three characters is not something that could drive you mad. Because this game is exactly that - a beautiful series of tedious gameplay mechanics. A truly charming mess.- PLAY! Zine

The third installment of the Runner series continues the rhythmic legacy of its predecessors but lacks a bit in content. Runner 3 will be well received with the genre veterans but it will attract little to no new players.- PLAY! Zine
