    Life is Strange: Before the Storm - Episode 1: Awake
    Life is Strange: Before the Storm Ep. 1 is an emotional roller-coaster. It features a wonderful plot that develops slowly but brilliantly. Moreover, the episode's ending leaves you craving for more. The dialogues and the characters are exceptional, especially the ones that involve the new Backtalk ability, which make you feel like you are an inseparable part of the conversation. However, the lack of the Rewind system is felt greatly, so you will have to use your use instincts and gut feelings.

    Penny's Big Breakaway
    I know that this game has some downsides, especially in its subpar beginning stages, but the latter ones are so polished, so fun to play, and work so well with the incredible platforming skills and controls of the game, that I just must go with my heart here and give it one of the highest praises I can give a game: It's just so much fun.

    Back 4 Blood
    Back 4 Blood is a fun co-op shooter and the perfect answer to a boring afternoon especially, if you have a friend to back you up. If you want to play solo, you're gonna have to look somewhere else.

    Toodee and Topdee
    Toodee and Topdee take elements previously found in games like Super Paper Mario and Fez and simply runs with it. The bosses and some levels can get annoying, but overall this is a very solid, funny, wholesome and most importantly - fun puzzle game.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
    This is a wonderful example of a Superhero video game done right, with all the proper colorfulness and hectic combat one would expect in a game like this.

    Gran Turismo 7
    The campaign might be a bit lacking, but the overall quality of Gran Turismo 7 outshines any minor gripe I might have had with the game. Simply put, it's an excellent addition to the series, hampered only by it's "Always Online" mandate for the campaign.

    Command & Conquer Remastered Collection
    Even if some technical aspects of the game stop it from being really great, the C&C remastered collection has a lot to offer, especially if you're fans of the original games.

    Laika: Aged Through Blood
    There is no simple way to say this, Laika: Aged Through Blood is an extremely flawed masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless. An amazing, and at times unforgettable experience that fell short by bad controls and some poor level design.

    Ninja Gaiden 4
    Ninja Gaiden 4 continues the beloved series with glorious success, featuring explosive combat and action that only stops to make sure your heart won't explode.

    Astro's Playroom
    Astro's Playroom is charming, fun and makes amazing use of all the new Dualsense features. Is it a perfect game? No, not at all - it's quite short and too easy. But this is probably the best game Sony could've shipped with PS5 consoles.

    Split Fiction
    Split Fiction is a good game, even a very good one - it's full of quality platforming challenges and great boss battles, but above all this stands a shallow and uninspired storyline that manages to weigh down the overall experience. Still, with the right friend, it's a lovable and terribly fun experience, which will undoubtedly put a smile on your face.

    Ultra Age
    Ladies and gentlemen, you're looking at one of the sleeper hits of 2021. The game is short and the story can be confusing (also, don't get me started on the voice acting), but gameplay-wise this is a very fun and rewarding action game. Also, it looks incredible on the Nintendo Switch so that's a plus.

    Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
    Yakuza 6 is a weird, fun, bizarre but most importantly, fitting conclusion to an epic saga of one video game character. The game is fun in all the best ways possible but bear in mind that it can feel a bit dated sometimes.

    Forza Motorsport
    This is a fantastic racing sim game that like its fierce competition over at Sony, knows how to balance arcade gameplay with some realism in regard to weather and track conditions. It also helps that it looks and plays great.

    Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
    It's a wonderful alternative for people who like the concept of Monster Hunter but don't like the action part of the games. It can drag on in some parts, but overall it's one of the best monster collecting games you can get on the Switch.

    Fire Emblem Engage
    It doesn't have the story of Three Houses, but it has the heart of the series. The heart that made it beating for 33 years and - hopefully - counting. This is an excellent game for veterans of the series.

    Eternal Afternoon
    Eternal Afternoon is not an ordinary game. It is a game that combines a lot of different elements that come together to create a very different experience that will enchant many players, as well as cause a significant portion of them to skip the game altogether - and this is where its uniqueness lies.

    Project CARS 2
    Project CARS 2 continues Slightly Mad Studios community model of game development, and adds more content and accessibility into what was already a great title. what it lacks in graphical disadvantage to it's competitors it makes up for deep customization options. Proves one of the best driving experience you can find on the PS4.

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond
    I believe going with the route established by the Let's Go games would have been better, but that doesn't mean that Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl aren't excellent entries in the Pokemon franchise, and games that Pokemon fans would enjoy playing - old and new alike.

    Borderlands Legendary Collection
    A true bang (pun intended) for you buck, the Borderlands Legendary Collection boasts three games in the series, that their port to the system was handled with extreme care. It's a shame we don't get a performance mode for silky smooth plays, but what's here is great.

    WarioWare: Get It Together!
    This is a great addition to the series, with wonderful micro-games, excellent co-op mini games and a lot to unlock in-game. The additional cast of characters can be a mixed bag, but overall this is a fine game.

    Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion
    When Square Enix called this game: "More Than a Remaster", they we're exaggerating in the slightest. Barring some questionable VA choices, this is an absolute blast of a remaster, and a game that would please both fans of the PSP classic and newcomers alike.

    The Quarry
    This game, or interactive movie if you prefer, is a great experience for horror fans. The story, gameplay (minimalistic as it is) and the acting are some of the best I've seen in this genre yet. While there are some things that do break the immersion, it's still an experience for lovers of visual novels and horror fans alike.

    Graceful Explosion Machine
    Graceful Explosion Machine is indeed a hidden GEM in the Nintendo e-shop library. It has an addictive and incredibly simple yet complex gameplay, amazing replay value and is extremely cheap at $13. The lack of Co-Op multiplayer does hold it back sometimes and as does the variety of worlds.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
    Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands does have it's faults, but all in all - it's a good game and you can really see the love and care that were put into it.

    Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land
    Atelier Yumia is a fantastic renovation to an aging series of jrpg games that needed an update, what didn't get an update tho, it seems, is the engine, which at times looks not amazing and the open world tends to not work properly and slows the frames to a crawl.

    Piposh
    Piposh is undoubtedly an Israeli gaming industry icon, and this 2021 does it justice. The dialogs are hilarious, the voice acting is incredible and the story is fantastic. It could have been amazing with a little more polish, but the talent and heart were definitely there. A job well done.

    Donkey Kong Bananza
    Donkey Kong Bananza is without a doubt the true launch game for the Nintendo Switch 2. It's a very fun and super satisfying game that will give you many hours of endless enjoyment featuring excellent destruction mechanics, a cute storyline and huge amounts of things to collect. At the same time, it's not a perfect execution, being hurt mainly by a lack of polish when it comes to performance and annoying camera issues alongside a distinct sense of lack of challenge, a collection of negative features that manages to somewhat cloud the overall experience.

    Super Mario RPG
    While the combat is a bit dated and a bit on the easy side - it's still fun and it complements how great the story, characters, and music are. Couple all those with one of the best-looking games on the platform and you get one hell of a remake.

    Morbid Metal
    Morbid Metal is a promising debut with a combat system that earns real respect. Screen Juice has built something genuinely worthwhile here - a fast, expressive, multi-character action game that holds its own alongside its clear inspirations, even if it hasn't matched them yet. The roguelike structure introduces limitations that blunt some of that momentum, the bugs in the current build are disruptive in a system where precision matters most, and the story hasn't yet justified its ambitions. But the foundation is strong, and Ubisoft's decision to back this small German studio looks, at least so far, like one of the smarter calls they've made in a while. The full release could be something worth getting loud about. [Early Access Score = 65]

    RuneScape: Dragonwilds
    RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an ambitious spin-off that brings the charm of RuneScape to the survival genre, set in the dragon-filled, mysterious continent of Ashenfall. In early access, it offers a compelling foundation with familiar skill systems, creative base-building, and innovative magic mechanics, but stumbles with a thin story, optimization issues, and clunky inventory management. [Early Access Score = 75]
