The Long Dark is a survival game, one of many some will say, but with its interesting story and a touch of mystery, we’ve got a very good game before us.- PLAY! Zine

If Heavenly Sword had an opposite, it would without a doubt be Hellblade. A dark, gritty, psychotic, atmospheric hell-ride through the forest of insanity. It looks great but plays like a gloomy record. Not everyone will enjoy this dark adventure. But what it does, it does great. Maybe even too great, if I may say so.- PLAY! Zine

Although it is still very much fun to play NBA 2k18, most of the content is blocked by a wall of micro transactions. Some improvements in gameplay are welcome, but the game still has problems with the amount of bugs that can happen during the match. But without stronger competition, 2k18 will remain the best option for the average NBA fan.- PLAY! Zine

Though never fun in real life, spilling ink all around is even more fun in Splatoon 2 than it was in the first game. Teaming up with your squid friends has never been better. But even though some weird Nintendo elements can drag the fun to a stall, everywhere that Splatoon 2 shines makes it a deserving heir to the original.- PLAY! Zine

Destiny 2 fixes a lot of problems from the previous game, but it doesn’t deviate from the original formula. With its lackluster content and little to no innovation, Destiny 2 brings nothing new to the genre but keeps that addictive lootfest gameplay which we all hate to love.- PLAY! Zine

Nidhogg 2 builds on its predecessor, sometimes too much. It complicates the mechanics while simultaneously going more casual. Still, if you dig the art direction, call up some friends - it's one fine party game.- PLAY! Zine

Atomega offers quite an enjoyable shooter experience with nice retro vibes and old-school power ups. For only 10 bucks, this gem is definitely worth trying out, but it’s up to you to stay and fight or leave it.- PLAY! Zine

Although it’s a real-time strategy, in this game you rely on your strategy and wisdom, rather than reflexes. Experience deep tactical game with authentic historical units of the era wrapped in some interesting and refreshing gameplay mechanics.- PLAY! Zine

WipEout is back in all its glory on the PS4. The classic E racer is amped for 4K and consistent 60FPS. With three games remastered on a single disk, it’s a must-buy for old-school players and newcomers alike who enjoy fast arcade racing games of old.- PLAY! Zine

As a first real expansion to this unconventional MMO, Morrowind goes out of its way to pay homage to the 2002 hit game bearing the same name. Fortunately, it succeeds in evoking just the right amount of nostalgia, while maintaining its own storytelling identity, with its only shortcomings in those features expected of an MMO.- PLAY! Zine

Shooting is interesting and VR experience is good, but game lacks exploration and more depth, and ultimately is only an arcade corridor shooter, which is a shame, because Aim Controller provides lots of immersion into the gameplay.- PLAY! Zine

A wonderful game that shares its weird, bittersweet story with the player in a most creative and lively way any walking simulator ever did. A storytelling marvel.- PLAY! Zine

If we take away blood and violence, we’ll be left with an empty shell with rewind mechanics. After first hour it becomes extremely boring and repetitive. Do not play this if you are fan of the movie.- PLAY! Zine

Late Shift brings an almost forgotten concept back to life with a nice story, but basically no gameplay and no replay value, although it has more than one ending and a couple of dozen ways to get there.- PLAY! Zine

The horror in this game is reaching new levels of gore, and audio component is great, but unfortunately game fails at capitalising on some good, but unfinished story parts.- PLAY! Zine

So-called "love letters" can leave a person with a broken heart. While true to the classic, Wonder Boy - The Dragon's Trap does little to improve on the three decades old formula. While old players will love it, new ones might find this piece of old school classic a little bit too stale.- PLAY! Zine

STRAFE is a roguelike FPS that tries too hard to remind us of “the good old times”, but since it lacks any depth and quality, it fails hard on every level. The game is a mix of horrible graphics (although that was the excuse for the XX century feel), awful story (again “on purpose”), one of the worst AI opponents ever and questionable shooting.- PLAY!

On face value, Drawn to Death looks like an interesting idea, and with its unusual art style it may feel like a breath of something new and different. But with its small arena concept with only 4 players, few play modes, and disgusting toilet humor with every step of the way, it quickly becomes dull and annoying.- PLAY! Zine
