    Ziggurat
    Ziggurat is a very funny old school FPS arena, but in its chest beats the heart of a roguelike game. Every run is different from the other, and when you will meet the dark reaper the game will start over again from the beginning. If you liked The Binding of Isaac and also love the frenetic gameplay of DOOM this game is made for you.

    Eagle Flight
    Eagle Flight is a fun game, even if, at certain times, it's too trial & error oriented and might be frustrating for someone.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Robinson: The Journey
    No Move support and just six hours of gameplay are the two main issues that prevent Robinson: The Journey from achieving a higher score. Wait for a cut price and for a patch that enables other peripherals than the DualShock.

    EVE: Valkyrie
    EVE Valkyrie is an interesting, but controversial project. It's fun to play, but offers too little content to justify the full price.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
    Infinite Warfare is a nice and solid game, but it is far more daring in the single player campaign rather than in the multiplayer modes. A classic CoD, in a sci-fi setting.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Battlezone
    Battlezone is a good game and one of the best experiences if you own a PlayStation VR. Anyhow, the difficulty level is unbalanced in single player, and motion sickness is beyond the corner if you are not used to wearing a VR headset.

    King's Quest Chapter 5: The Good Knight
    Like a lazy student, King's Quest reaches the end making it homework without any extra effort.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
    The original fascination of Skyrim is fortunately preserved in this Special Edition. Despite some bugs and a non perfect porting, this version is a must have for those who did not buy Skyrim in the past.

    Football Manager 2017
    After a few seasons focusing on other aspects of the game, Football Manager 2017 adds a new layer of depth to the match day and its AI. And it’s brilliant.

    Titanfall 2
    Despite some balancing problems, Titanfall 2 is a great game, with a solid single player campaign and a lot of fun when it's time to go online.

    Farming Simulator 17
    Farming Simulator 17 combines the simulation of life in the fields to an economic farm management. The result of this combination is a good game, despite a non perfect net code and some minor bugs.

    Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2
    A bigger version of the first episode, with a lot of new things to do. A fun game, even if affected by repetitiveness in the long run.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel
    A great "quality" DLC, but afflicted by a poor longevity, even looking at the new PVP modes.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Skylanders Imaginators
    Skylanders Imaginators is fun and does not disappoint, though it's not particularly innovative and it may exceed in being too familiar to longtime fans.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Sid Meier's Civilization VI
    Undoubtedly, the best 4X game so far. Civ VI is a total masterpiece and improves all the aspects of the previous incarnation.

    PlayStation VR WORLDS
    An overpriced collection of tech demos that isn't worth the money Sony is asking for: at least a couple of them should have been developed as full games to justify the outlay.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ride 2
    Despite an aged graphic style, Ride 2 is an enjoyable racing game that corrects most of the issues of the first episode. If you love motorcycles in their essence, this is the game to buy.

    World of Final Fantasy
    Random battles and the low difficulty level do not prevent World of Final Fantasy from being a spin-off that is really well done and enjoyable. The perfect way to wait for FFXV.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Battlefield 1
    Battlefield 1 aims at a very large audience of players, through strategic but always accessible approaches. Forget in a hurry the short campaign and join the spectacular multiplayer battles as soon as possible.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Batman: Arkham VR
    Batman Arkham VR is simply one of the best experiences for PlayStation VR, despite its brevity.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Until Dawn: Rush of Blood
    Rush of Blood is probably one of the best PlayStation VR games at launch: it's a perfect way to show what the Sony peripheral can do, especially if you have a pair of Move at your disposal.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Batman: Return to Arkham
    Batman: Return to Arkham is a wasted opportunity. The two games are enjoyable even today, but the port by Virtuos Games is technically outrageous.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Reus
    A puzzle game concealed inside a god game, with good ideas, though repetitive, and with an awkward control system via joypad.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Rez Infinite
    A timeless masterpiece, here in its best synesthetic form, thanks to PlayStation VR.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Yomawari: Night Alone
    Yomawari is imbued with a unique atmosphere, but it is too easy and repetitive to keep your attention for more than a couple of evenings.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Rhythm Heaven Megamix
    A totally nonsense rhythm game, full of things to do and easy to understand, but very VERY hard to master.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Shadow Warrior 2
    Despite an imperfect procedural generation algorithm and some technical issues, SW2 is a fun game, thanks to its solid gameplay and a great co-op mode.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    XCOM 2
    Despite some fps issues, XCOM 2 is as perfect as the PC version. The best game of this year, no doubt about it.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Mafia III
    Mafia III keeps its promises in the powerful story and setting, but fails in getting the same results on the technical side, as well as in several details of the gameplay.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Gears of War 4
    Gears of War 4 is exactly what a fan of the series was waiting for. The campaign does not introduce anything new, but it works and it's graphically astonishing, while the online modes are totally fun. Go and buy GOW4 without any hesitation.
