Brilliant co-op game that lets you "accidentally" drop ammo crates over your friend's head while shouting quotes from Starship Troopers.- PLAY! Zine

If we had to pick a definitive steampunk space robot pirates tactical role playing strategy game, this one would have to take the cake. You will lose quite a lot of hours in SteamWorld Heist.- PLAY! Zine

Wonderfully painted explanation of how sequels are made. Not a single piece falls out of great foundations made by the first game, yet fills up the experience with so much more. A treat for every single fan.- PLAY! Zine

The Division 2 is one of the best looter shooter games available, and puts other to shame. This sequel is perfectly built on original by implementing and perfecting ideas that work fantastically in post-apocalyptic Washington D.C.- PLAY! Zine

Upgraded models and textures do bring new life to this 11-year-old title. That which once was absolutely superb is now being drawn back by an obsolete “pocket design” and a few elements that slow the experience down. But in whichever way you look at it, it is one superb game and possibly the greatest game of the series. It did not age well, no matter the quick facelift the studio performed.- PLAY! Zine

Helldivers 2 is an amazing co-op shooter that deserves all the hype it’s getting. The shift from top-down to third person was an amazing choice which shifted the gameplay but kept the original feel of killing bugs and spreading liberty and democracy. However, the servers are still struggling to keep up with the high amount of people drinking liber-tea and trying to experience, in my opinion, a GOTY candidate.- PLAY! Zine

Activision wisely used his second chance at providing Call of Duty Battle Royale game. Besides great gunplay, players are offered with some pretty interesting innovations in the genre, such as mini objectives and fighting for a chance to get back in the Gulag.- PLAY! Zine

MLB The Show 20 presents itself as a great package, improving on most of its gameplay mechanics, including batting and fielding experience. With plenty of game modes, great Diamond Dynasty and online experience, and plenty of new animations it is a significant upgrade of the last year’s The Show 19, and proving itself worthy of purchase, by avoiding to follow the example of copycat sports franchises like FIFA and NBA 2K.- PLAY!

This has got to be the best "souls" clone yet. It is perfectly balanced, has tons of customization and improvement options, a great character editor and hundreds of satisfying challenges that will get you to improve, with each step you take. Weaker story and several minor flaws, do reduce the perfect score, but this is still a strong "9 - I would die again!"- PLAY! Zine

Sand Land is by far the best open world game in a long time. Not only because it’s the perfect open world game in and of itself, but because it's genuinely fun and filled with great characters and stories. A great homage to the late Akira Toriyama.- PLAY! Zine

When the market is overcrowded with military FPS games, DICE still managed to reign as the king of the genre with the most impressive throwback to the roots of war-themed FPS. Battlefield 1 is a must-buy!- PLAY! Zine

It's not often that we see a one-man project leave such an impact on the gaming community, collectively putting us into the "just one more turn/day" mindset, but Stardew Valley manages it in a spectacular way.- PLAY! Zine

Nier: Automata manages to capture all of the qualities that PlatinumGames is known for, and delivers them out of nowhere, all at once, with a package of superb sounds, visuals and storyline. Never have we been more excited about slashing through hordes of mechanical foes, while being a sexy female android, more than we are now. Don't miss it.- PLAY! Zine

Yakuza 6 is a good game. Nice story and fun gameplay are what it does best. There were some unnecessary changes in gameplay, overall, maybe not the best Yakuza, but still tons of fun and stuff to do.- PLAY! Zine
