Taking some hints from Dark Souls, Hollow Knight offers a solid experience through and through. It is outstanding value for money, delivering high quality content, elaborate level design and stunning attention to detail, for a low price. Without any exaggeration, it is one of the best Metroidvania games ever made and one of the most prominent titles this year.

An eerie trip to your earliest pre-adolescent memories of wrestling with twenty verbs and a parser and somehow transported into another, darker, more dangerous, more real dimension. Stories Untold is a love letter and a step forward for an extinct genre. Impressive and impeccable in it’s execution, this is something all discerning horror fans owe to themselves to experience.

Deeply atmospheric and profoundly disturbing, 2Dark presents a seductive mix of lo-fi Hitman-like stealth coupled with Hotline Miami claustrophobia induced adrenaline rushes. The presentation and initial pricing will not be to everyone’s taste but for horror fans, here is one to remember.

Combining solid hack 'n' slash gameplay mechanisms and unique metagaming elements, Icey is one of the most remarkable indie action games out there.

Tides of Numenera would have made sense as a quiet, indie, choose-your-own-adventure/RPG hybrid set in a strange and fascinating world. A small, indie game for a niche audience. Usurping Torment’s sacred mantle to present a barely competent CRPG with heavy interactive novel trappings that fails to elicit any sort of emotional connection with the player or give any meaningful context to his agency or interactions with the game’s world, will not be taken lightly, or forgotten any time soon, by its backers, this writer included.

A highly irreverent take on the Renaissance, chock full of biting, sardonic wit and an art style directly influenced by Terry Gilliam’s legendary Monty Python’s vignettes. Four Last Things is a hell of a good time. Literally.

Sniper Elite 4 is a pretty good game - there is no doubt about it. Having struck a good balance between TPS and stealth, it is perfectly capable of entertaining fans of both genres. However, perhaps the time has come for Rebellion to experiment with other eras besides WW2.

For Honor’s peer-to-peer networking woes do it great injustice, for it is, in its core, a truly unique game that provides us with a competitive multiplayer experience no other game can claim to offer.

Episode 2 keeps well the charming noir atmosphere of the first episode, adds up an improved plot and some nice dialogues, but a longer duration and tougher puzzles would be much appreciated.

Regardless the pitfalls, Tales of Berseria is a high quality JRPG, featuring a great cast of characters and an interesting story, which guarantee plenty hours of fun to the fans of the genre.

Gorgeous visuals, an evocative soundtrack and a dreamy, magical realist vibe are hindered by poorly designed puzzles that hinge more on mad trial and error rather than actual observation. A unique experience that falls short of greatness.

Double Dragon IV has only nostalgia value. Beyond that, the game does not really have any reason to exist. Better try a classic game of the series to known emulators out there.

Zen Studios remains at the top of it’s game, delivering a surprisingly accessible table, guaranteed to please long time Star Wars fans as well as newcomers to the magical sport of pinball.

Resident Evil 7 feels like the interactive, dirty-secret bastard child of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes coupled with the series signature gameplay mechanics. A lean n' mean return to the essence of horror. Purists as well as series virgins will be enchanted. 2017’s first must play title.

Milkmaid of the Milky Way seems rather a costly 2-hour adventure game. On the other hand it has a great and emotional story to offer.

Despite its short duration, Rise & Shine is a remarkable indie action/shooter. Don't be misled from the beautiful graphics however, since it offers a brutal challenge and surely it is not appropriate for the impatient gamers.

Cursed Castilla respects its action/platformer roots and delivers a brilliant retro-gaming experience.

The newest version of Sports Interactive’s management game inches the series forward but isn’t the radical evolution some fans would hope for.

City of Light closes the gaps of the season’s main arc, although it seems to do so hastily, without letting an unraveling to sink in before us making a conscious choice. Still Ep. 5 is an improvement from Ep. 4, yet it is relatively weak and representative of the whole season of Telltale’s Batman.

This is a cute, very easy and extremely short adventure game, which doesn’t avoid some pitfalls that inevitably weaken the overall sense it leaves us.

99Vidas undoubtedly is a worthwhile suggestion for fans of the genre, that are willing to fully endorse the loveable retro character of the game.

The promising implementation of Warhammer 40k's universe collapses under countless technical issues. In its current state, Space Hulk: Deathwing can be suggested only to die-hard fans of the franchise, who are willing to tolerate an unfinished product.

The Ties That Bind shines with polish and quality but ultimately feels like a retread of familiar territory. Perhaps seven years of television and four years of interactive fiction have been enough for the Walking Dead. A quality work through and through but long-time fans will feel like they are in too familiar territory.

Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator is a masterly fighting game, a really worthy addition to your game library and if you are fan of the genre, it is almost sure that you will be in love for a long time. As long as there are still players playing it online.

A great fantasy story with wonderful dialogues and well-crafted heroes is ruined by the most important aspect of a video game... gameplay.

Although Yomawari: Night Alone will not break any new ground in the horror genre and some of its plot related questions go unanswered, its ambience, lore and palpable premise ensure that it's a journey worth taking.

It offers an enjoyable trip to the snowing mountains with 4 different extreme sports to explore and challenges along the way. You can push your limits and become king of the mountain or just enjoy the ride through beautiful landscapes and majestic scenery. It’s not only for the fans, everyone could give it a go.
