The arcade classic hits the Nintendo Switch and surely is a thing to be happy about if you are into chaotic, cooperative-multiplayer action-platforms. For skillful fingers, there is a lot to love here. On the other side, all the less experienced players are going to get from this Killer Queen, is a ruthless sting of the losing streak. So beware.- PLAY! Zine

Sweet, but short as cup of an espresso. In the time where it seems that adventures are a dead genre, it's good to see anything that resembles on them. And that's about it. Find the chips bag murderer and don't fall in love with hippo. Madness, but a good one.- PLAY! Zine

Fight'n Rage is a truly fun and nostalgic beat ’em up experience that will wake those old days in players pretty easy. Even though it lacks some features, like online multiplayer, it is sure to provide more than a few hours of fun in its local co-op and versus modes, with its wide range of game modes.- PLAY! Zine

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is one of the most fun and compelling voxel and creative experiences the genre can afford to a player. Even though it fails to use some of its features, as a co-op, and it possesses some smaller misconceptions here and there, it truly is a fascinating building RPG experience with the amount of content to provide you dozens upon dozens of hours of fun.- PLAY!

Detroit Become Human is finally released on PC and it was worth the wait. The story is good enough, the consequences of your choices really affect the narrative and the audio-visual design is really spot on. That being said, running it on PC with hardware even above the recommended specs can sometimes be a little sloppy, with occasional frame drops and stuttering.- PLAY! Zine

Lightmatter is created as a spin-off to Portal games, but with very unique and challenging mechanics of using light sources. Using aesthetically pleasing high contrast graphics, players will learn to navigate through levels and solve puzzles that get more complicated with each passing level.- 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

Seemingly an innocent, cutesy and easygoing game, Woven offers lots of stuff to do, for the younger part of the gaming audience. Yet an eerie feeling may surprise a few of you veteran gamers out there. As the clunky animations and clumsy looking characters, seem almost intentional. Almost as if to promise a surprise in form of an animatronic Freddy, that seeks to catch you off guard.- PLAY! Zine

The Stretchers may stretch that smile over your face, with its funny ragdoll physics and clumsy multiplayer moments. It may be short and lacks replay value, but for the while it lasts, it is sure to bring a bit of hilarious sunshine to that rainy day, we all get to live sometimes.- PLAY! Zine

Stranded Sails draws inspiration from many titles, but does not upgrade the borrowed formula in any way. Instead, it simplifies the experience, making it accessible and simple, yet rather bland if you are more than just a casual player. On the other hand, if you plan to grab this for a kid - it's a pretty great choice. You can watch him play, and get enough of fun just by the great and warm visuals, that really do stand out.- PLAY!

If Minecraft had a hammer, it'd crush Riverbond to the ground. Nah, it's only a joke, as it is fairly repetitive and easy, yet fun little title you can enjoy with up to 3 more friends, cooperatively. With lots of voxel explosions! Pretty...- PLAY! Zine

Pokemon Sword is a very safe and standard Pokemon game the likes we have seen over the many years. Its quality of life changes are many and greatly improve the feel of the game. But with Dexit, lazy asset transferring from previous games, and many missed opportunities to improve it still falls flat of being the dream Pokemon game we always wanted to play.- PLAY! Zine

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighbourville is a stellar dive into hero shooter waters for PopCap. With its great level design, great multiplayer and ton of content, it overcomes some of its flaws like lack of campaign and is sure to give tons of hours of PvE and PvP fun.- PLAY! Zine

Need for Speed: Heat is the first good step for the franchise in years. Devoid of micro transactions, providing some Underground-like neon vibes with it’s best customization system, it can provide more than a dozen of hours of fun, despite it’s dead like world design and irrelevant and boring story.- PLAY!

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is sixth installment in the franchise, as it stands somewhere in the middle. It may not be the best, but surely isn't the worst of them all. It looks superb, has a few really outstanding mini-games and even a selection of 10 retro styled ones for all you nostalgia lovers out there.- PLAY! Zine

Even though dear professor is missing on this one, his daughter still manages to keep the flames of the series' spirit bright and burning. It is a loving and relaxing adventure that may not be as epic and mind bending as before, but still pretty much close to the original charm. Whether you go for the better and older, or newer yet still a great title, there is no wrong choice here. Leave the thinking for in game…- PLAY! Zine

Respawn has shown us, and EA, that single player games are well enough alive and kicking and has set a bright future for the Star Wars franchise of videogames if they keep this up.- PLAY! Zine

A mini golf arcade game, you play in your everyday home. Over 130+ levels of improvised mini golf courses and simple controls, make this a fun but entirely basic, arcade experience. At least it has multiplayer, so... Hurray?- PLAY! Zine

Year after year, Sports Interactive again managed to give us another great Football Manager game. Using the same structure as before, with many little improvements, FM20 is so far probably the best football simulation we ever got.- PLAY! Zine

Blacksad: Under the Skin is a great first step of famous noir cat detective into the world of gaming.

A long-awaited localization of the next Trails of Cold Steel instalment is finally here. If you haven't played the previous ones, don't bother with this and go play those instead. But if you have, you know exactly what to expect here and feel free to get excited. It is a great game.- PLAY! Zine

A rhythm game with great visuals but too little to back them up. Dodgeball is just a theme here, and the action is simple. Well, at least music and visuals are nice for a single walkthrough and a few local multiplayer matches. Just don't expect too much.- PLAY! Zine
