60 / 100 - Sea of Thieves
Apr 8, 2018

In its current state, Sea of Thieves is nothing more than a heavily polished alpha version of a much more complex game, a game that needs to changed tremendously to be what Rare advertised. Still, its a joyful experience and game pass have made it much more worthwhile than paying 60 bucks.

65 / 100 - Prey
May 29, 2017

After playing Prey and experiencing its nonprogressive and unbalanced gameplay, all I can think of is if Prey was the exact reboot which Bethesda was looking for and whether such a mediocre game was worth the cancellation of Prey 2 or not.

The rush and hastiness of Deep Silver for releasing Kingdom Come: Deliverance has made one of the most anticipated games of the year into a weak one. Although it's not too late for the devs to fix the game, this would surely affect the upcoming games of Warhorse studios.

The thing is that despite all the achievements, there’s no sign of a true effort to resuscitate this troubled series and all the changes in gameplay seems like a trick to put an end to the endless reproaches. WWII implies to a brighter future for Call of Duty series, but that future hasn’t come yet and with current pace, will not come in near future either.

Vicarious Visions has put an incredible lot of passion and effort into making a truly remastered bundle, but the games themselves have awfully aged and aren't a welcoming experience to beginners as mush as they are an excuse to revisit some old memories.

75 / 100 - Outlast II
May 1, 2017

Outlast 2 tries to introduce itself as a genre-defying game, but repetitive gameplay and lack of characterization have made it a so-so game, although it's worth a try. Moreover, the game gets really nasty at some points that makes it as horror as Saw franchise is. it's neither quite horror nor quite Saw-like, but you can have some fun with it for a few hours -maybe jump scare at some points- and then forget all about it.

75 / 100 - Gravity Rush 2
Mar 29, 2017

The Artistic and colorful world of Gravity Rush 2 only attracts people who are patient and willing to experience anything but one of those empty-handed action games, just like a European movie which you never heard of and it becomes the most awarded movie in Cannes or Venice Film Festivals. Don’t get me wrong, Gravity Rush 2 is not so much of a masterpiece as those movies, but its vivid graphics and innovative gameplay makes you ignore some problems and grant it a second chance.

In spite of its many flaws, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a fun game with lots of replayability, but a series of mistakes in game design and quests that are not always pointful has made one of the most promising titles of Nintendo Switch a mediocre game.

as an distinguished and sumptuous game, HellBlade Senua's Sacrifice reaches it's goal without hesitating. the mixture of norse mythology with senua's unique story and psychological elements, is one you've never seen, like ever.

PES 2018 is yet another progressive game in this long-running series that wows us with its changes. The gameplay hasn’t been this fun since PES 2013 and graphics are simply stunning. That said, Konami needs to get more aggressive and competitive with EA Sports and FIFA series and with current pace, it’s just impossible. Maybe it's best for Konami to take a year off and rethink the most fundamental elements of PES.

80 / 100 - Arms
Aug 21, 2017

Arms is another outstanding franchise from Nintendo that could restore our faith in motion controlled gaming. Yet the game is far from complete; contents still look inadequate and Nintendo Switch hardware limitations cause inaccuracy in detecting motions from time to time. But in the gameplay side, Arms has truly distinguished itself from other motion controlled games out there and could entertain you for a very very long time.

In terms of narration, Detroit Become Human is probably the best interactive drama you'll come across. general atmosphere of the game is not as unforgettable as Heavy Rain or even Fahrenheit, but there is some kind of maturity in narration that has never been seen in this particular genre.

82 / 100 - Golf Story
Dec 4, 2017

Truth to be told, It's not like that you need to buy a Nintendo Switch ASAP and play this game, but if you happen to own one, you should buy it ASAP.

With Mario + Rabbids and now South Park: The Fractured but Whole, Ubisoft has made it perfectly clear that is the master of Spin-Offs and maybe should be more focused on this kind of games in spite of AAA games that need at least 2 years of support until becoming what they should have been in the first place.

85 / 100 - Cuphead
Oct 14, 2017

Cuphead is a masterpiece that surely we won't see anything like it for years to come. But I don't think the difficulties of the gameplay is worth of losing a large part of the community.

90 / 100 - FIFA 18
Sep 30, 2017

The thing is that even after all these years, EA Sports hasn’t find its ideal gameplay for FIFA series; so every two or three years FIFA is going through some radical changes that are not always necessary. But FIFA 18 is different, changes are blessing from god and gameplay’s compactness and freedom has made this game a truly joyful experience and at the same time, a great football simulator.

Unlike some of the most recent Ubisoft games and just like Rayman, Mario + Rabbids have been made with some kind of passion that we rarely see among third party developers. when Ubisoft makes a game with passion and craze, the output is almost certainly a masterpiece.

90 / 100 - Splatoon 2
Jul 31, 2017

Let's face it, Nintendo hasn't made anything exclusive but masterpieces for Switch and Splatoon 2 continues this trend. The game is extremely fun, unbelievably gorgeous and so addictive that makes you forget all about other competitive shooters for quite some time.

Horizon: Zero Dawn meets all our expectations of an exclusive game and even beyond. The story is really fascinating, music is no less than Ramin Djawadi's masterpiece in Game of Thrones, artistic and technical graphics run at a level which we've never seen anything like it and gameplay speaks for itself.
