    We Happy Few
    The concept of We Happy Few has so much potential, but it feels like there were two teams with different level of talent working on this project. One team used this elaborate alternative world, stark visual style and and intriguing story, tried to lift it up. The other team was responsible for imbalanced, clumsy gameplay, pulled the game down. The result is 30 hours of very mixed feelings.

    Red Dead Redemption 2
    RDR2 is one of the best games of recent years that gives all the other popular “sandboxes” a thorough ass-kicking.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider
    Shadow of the Tomb Raider is doomed to remain in the shadow of its predecessors.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Lamplight City
    By sacrificing player’s freedom in favor of questionable game design concepts, the developers failed to flesh out the intriguing world, characters and plot of Lamplight City. I expected a much better result from the makers of Shardlight.

    Strange Brigade
    Strange Brigade is just a notch better than Sniper Elite 4, Rebellion’s previous failed attempt at making a cooperative shooter.

    Forged Battalion
    Sometimes Forget Battalion is a blast to play, but right after the battle you realize that this game is just a pale imitation of the long-forgotten RTS blockbusters.

    Destiny 2: Forsaken
    Forsaken is flawed, and yet it is the best Destiny 2 expansion so far. There is nothing that elicits exuberance, but if you are a hardcore Guardian, do not miss it.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Valkyria Chronicles 4
    Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a solid game, but if you are new to the series, I suggest to start with Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. VC4 builds on its ideas and the fans will enjoy it a lot, although I am a bit worried that the developers do not know where to go next — it is painfully apparent in their approach to gameplay mechanics and evolution of their fictional universe.

    Tennis World Tour
    Tennis World Tour will have a slight chance of surviving on your PC’s hard drive only if you have someone to play it with. But even then it will be just a constant reminder of the early 2000s when tennis lawns were greener and tennis sims got higher scores in our reviews.

    Unavowed
    A poignant story of devotion and hope, of love and duty, of good and justice, a rollercoaster ride of unexpected twists that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very last second.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Shenmue I & II
    Shenmue and Shenmue II are both very ambitious games jam-packed with many ideas and concepts that were considered groundbreaking at the time of their release, but do not relegate them to the ash heap of history yet — they’re still just as relevant and fun to play today.

    Marvel's Spider-Man
    Spider-Man is a stark example of an outdated "sandbox game” whose goal is not to entertain but rather preoccupy players, and it uses every cliche in the book to do that.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    State of Mind
    Story is pretty much all that State of Mind going for, but slow pacing and monotonous gameplay of the first half, as well as weak environmental storytelling, lack of decent puzzles and nonlinearity suck out fun.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Dead Cells
    Dead Cells, despite its hardcore leanings, is not game that makes you slam your keyboard with a fist or throw your gamepad at a wall when you miss a jump or die. Combat and platforming elements are top-notch, and mistakes is the best possible experience you’ll get here. Don’t worry, you’ll get back whatever stuff you lost in 30 minutes or less.

    The Banner Saga 3
    The Banner Saga 3 is a good game, but if you have to take a step back and look at the trilogy as a whole, you will truly appreciate the whole greatness of this saga.
    • 69 Metascore

    Jurassic World Evolution
    Amazing storms is probably the only feature of Jurassic World Evolution worthy of a praise — they are always a joy to behold. The rest of the game is a powerful sedative capable of knocking out a T-Rex.

    This is the Police 2
    In one of the interviews, the developers stated that they wanted to start different project originally, but later decided to do This Is the Police 2 instead. Well, the sequel is not slopwork in any way, but you can’t help but feel a certain lack of enthusiasm and concentration of the game’s creators.

    Football, Tactics & Glory
    Football, Tactics & Glory is hardly addictive, but accessible and deep enough to fill a World Cup-shaped hole in your heart. If would be perfect on the go, but, unfortunately, there is only a PC version of the game.
    • 81 Metascore

    Wreckfest
    Wreckfest lacks coherent vision. It feels as if Bugbear Interactive, during all these long years of development hell, still haven’t figured out what game exactly they were trying to create.

    • 83 Critic Score
    Super Mega Baseball 2
    Super Mega Baseball 2 doesn’t have photorealistic graphics or licensed Mike Trout and José Altuve, but this is, hands down, the best baseball sim this side of PlayStation.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Unravel Two
    Coldwood Interactive changed a lot of things in the sequel, but somehow failed to add more variety or make puzzles less trivial.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Mario Tennis Aces
    Mario Tennis Aces holds itself on the tennis court way better than Ultra Smash, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
    You can almost feel all these awesome miniature world in your hands and even twist and turn some of them, like a Rubik’s cube. Sure, bosses are way too easy, and our enemies are childishly naive, but that’s why they don’t distract you from the main course — well-designed puzzles.

    Forgotton Anne
    Exciting and original at first, Forgotton Anne quickly loses its steam as the story progresses on its way to the land of forgotten video games.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Vampyr
    Dontnod made a couple of major mistakes developing Vampyr, but the game still deserves your attention. Its unique concept, impressive variability and gloomy London with its doomed inhabitants will make it worth your while.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    ONRUSH
    Onrush is an acquired taste, and you will probably part ways with it after 8-9 of hours of playing. Asking 60 USD for a game in this condition is way too much.

    • 44 Critic Score
    AO International Tennis
    After a rushed release of AO Tennis in Australia, Big Ant Studio had six months to fix the game‘s numerous fatal flaws for the international version, but even with patches, it’s still not fun to play.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
    It’s a massive, deep, exciting sea adventure, although the developers do run aground on some reefs here and there.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Frostpunk
    Nice-looking and highly original, Frostpunk is too simplistic for a city-building sim and too shallow to grip you with emotional hooks.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia
    Thrones of Britannia feels like an expansion of Total War: Attila, released as a separate game for obvious reasons. It relies on mechanics of Rome 2 and Attila and sometimes ditches them without offering a replacement. As a result, despite is epic scope, it’s a tedious, boring game fit for just one, maybe two, playthroughs.
