Subset Studio has once again proved that they are masters of gameplay, UI and style design. In moments when FTL was hectic and chaotic, Into the Breach is precise and tactical while preserving the same feel of tension, danger and adrenaline rush. Simply brilliant.- PLAY! Zine

Bland and mediocre gameplay. Ludicrous hunger and thirst meters which made this game practically unplayable, not to mention the “always online” feature, are what’s making this game a great candidate to avoid.- PLAY! Zine

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

Frantics is a fun physics based mini-game compilation that encourages backstabbing your friends. Fun and laughs will be the side effects of this wonderful 4 player game although it could’ve used a few more modes and games.- PLAY! Zine

Remnants of Naezith is a great game for speedrunners, and also for people who like being angry over a game. All jokes aside, this is a great fast-paced platformer with some great and refreshing elements and nice electro beats. You won’t be sorry.- PLAY! Zine

Remastering a great title by making some subtle changes and adding fully voice acted story, can't be a bad thing, now can it? Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, though not in many ways better than the original, remains a masterful JRPG experience no one should miss.- PLAY! Zine

Even though the game represents a standard Omega Force half-asset flip of their own first Attack on Titan game, it still delivers enough of new things. With plenty of options regarding your own character, the RPG-lite elements, and the way the player can interact and make bonds with other NPC characters makes it so this could be considered a fine continuation of the series. If you wanted to enjoy the story and characters from the AoT universe from your perspective as a unique character then this is a good option for you, just watch out for the abysmal camera and somewhat iffy movement controls.- PLAY!

Great atmosphere and some intriguing story elements, but really sloppy controls, bad tempo and slow movement speed are sadly killing the experience.- PLAY! Zine

If you’re looking for that "sweet, yet bitter" nostalgic feel, with the good old days on your AMIGA or any 16 bit console coming to your mind, then Tower 57 is a game you have to try.- PLAY! Zine

Shu is a pretty and emotional journey whose atmosphere building is just like my love towards soccer - non-existent. It looks and plays nice, but ultimately fails to capture our hearts with its cute yet flawed storytelling.- PLAY! Zine

Bravium is a hero defense RPG with strong emphasis on resource management and grinding, but surprisingly without microtransactions. Although the game is distributed via Steam, UI is made for mobile devices and lacks flexibility on PC. Best element of this game is that anyone can play it while doing something else and have fun.- PLAY! Zine

The Escapists 2 made me escape away from my Switch for a while. It simply made me feel bad and confused! But if you like complex micromanagement and doing time... well dig right in, inmate. This game truly is great for people who simply - don't like it simple.- PLAY! Zine

Dragon Ball FighterZ is born from what makes the DRAGON BALL series so loved and famous: endless spectacular fights with its all-powerful fighters. Partnering with Arc System Works, DRAGON BALL FighterZ maximizes high end Anime graphics and brings easy to learn but difficult to master fighting gameplay to audiences worldwide.- PLAY! Zine

Compiling nostalgia into a lovely chaos, Lost Sphear fires its mediocre edges into beautiful fireworks. It is an absolute step in the right direction for the creators of I am Setsuna. Not perfect, but it feels pretty great nonetheless.- PLAY! Zine

First time for a Dynasty Warriors game to head into an Open World environment and it stumbles doing that. It sure is a new way to experience an old franchise with many new options and rework of the combat system. But the game tries to put in all of the open world tropes and systems all at once without previous experience on them by the development team, which leads to many bugs, glitches and bad optimization.- PLAY!

Dissidia FF is a spin-off title with all focus on one aspect, which is fighting. The gameplay is fine, although sometimes chaotic, but the decision to lock story content behind fighting is a mistake. Solid title, nothing more, nothing less.- PLAY! Zine

Ode is a great musical platformer able to entertain everyone. Simplicity is one of its best elements, because it gives you a heartwarming welcome after a hard day. Everything in this game makes for a perfect sound and by going forward you get a final melody filled with happiness. Besides a lack of levels there are no bad things here.- PLAY! Zine

Okami that we loved and held dear, presented in up to 4K. No, that's pretty much it. Played it before - play it again. Never played it before - play it now, then play it again.- PLAY! Zine

LA Noire remaster hit us out of nowhere and brings a nice high definition version of the game to our consoles. Unfortunately, it doesn’t bring many fixes with it, nor does it expand on the huge city they’ve built.- PLAY! Zine

Nintendo Switch delivers easily the best version of the game. If you are a pinball fan, you shouldn't miss this pretty detailed and complete game you can play on the go, in handheld or handheld portrait mode. Or on a TV that you gently lay down on your knees to simulate the pinball machine like a true old school fan you are. It's only a joke, don't do that.- PLAY! Zine

LocoRoco 2 Remastered brings the well deserved high resolution uplift to a timeless classic. With an unchanged essence, LocoRoco 2 is still that charming and silly platformer we fell in love with ages ago. If you’ve never played it before, yet refuse do to so now... what's wrong with you, are you loco? Bad pun - but a great game.- PLAY! Zine

Origins is the newest installment in rather worn out series and a much appreciated and needed refresh. New combat and graphically fantastic environment with tons of content will gave you some nice moments. The game is not a blast but it is a proof that AC is back on the right track again, for now.- PLAY! Zine

Although not without its flaws, the everlasting quality of this game cannot be overlooked. New graphics, magnificent world, great characterization, good story and phenomenal music, make this old school gem a blast to play. Clunky gunplay and controls can stand in the way sometimes, but overall, they are not enough to ruin the experience of traversing through Adelpha.- PLAY! Zine

Sonic Forces improves on the 3D gameplay but ruins Classic Sonic. This game will be met with torches and pitchforks by the fans, but their kids will have fun with the custom created character and the rest of the game.- PLAY! Zine
