Cloudpunk has its share of problems with pacing and collectibles. However, the game still offers an interesting story, great driving and viscous cyberpunk atmosphere.

Link's Awakening is a cute little game from the past with updated visuals, but the outdated gameplay mechanics and overall simplicity kind of broke its charm.

The Council was a really promising adventure back in March. With intriguing plot and interesting RPG mechanics in conversations, first three episodes sank you deeper and deeper into the mystery of the island. However, the last two episodes forgotten about great atmosphere in favor of global human history and supernatural, completely killing the mood.

God of War is undoubtedly a technical masterpiece. The idea with one camera executed brilliantly — nobody ever done something like that, and nobody will in the nearest couple of years. Or decades. Besides, Kratos is written into the North mythology with love to both the spartan and the myths. But in terms of gameplay God of War strongly reminds Darksiders series, with kind of boring combat sequences, repetitive boss fights, awful camera position during the battles where you can't see what's going on behind you, and not so necessary RPG elements.

Aliens: Dark Descent has shown that good Alien games are not tied to any genres, and you can scare and create a viscous atmosphere even in tactical projects. And while not everything went smoothly, the Dark Descent campaign definitely deserves attention.

NEO: TWEWY is not a bad game at all. However, with its slow-paced story and uninteresting new characters (Shoka is exclusion here) the sequel could not reach the heights of the original TWEWY, which was a masterpiece.

If you crave an old school action platformer, you definitely should try Cyber Shadow. This game is a nostalgic trip with great boss fights and amazing music.

From gameplay perspective, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 has everything for the longtime series fans, and works like a time machine. However, changes in the progression system and addition of the profile leveling are killing the arcade mood of the original games.

DOOM Eternal is, probably, the fastest and most brutal shooter on the market. But reworked combat system, a lot of (not so fluent) platforming elements and some other small issues here and there are keeping the sequel from beating the almost perfect DOOM 2016.

The first chapter of "The Dark Pictures Anthology" feels a little bit unpolished and rough around the edges, but it is a nice interactive movie with interesting characters and story branching.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a cautious sequel. It is almost identical to the original Valkyria Chronicles game from PS3 era, but that's not a bad thing! For a decade we've been waiting for the proper big game in the series, and Valkyria Chronicles 4 delivers on all fronts.

Everything in the battles is done perfectly. Deep tactics with a lot of different ways to fight, requiring to keep a lot of parameters in your head, will not leave time for other activities.

Crash Bandicoot is back, and there's no excuse for long time fans or newcomers not to play N.Sane Trilogy. Vicarious Visions did a great job recreating original games from scratch, and even if some things are looking old by today's standards, you'll still get plenty of fun.

There's nothing really new in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 in comparison to the original game. Nevertheless, sequel can still deliver hours of pure fun due to interesting battle system, beautiful world and lighthearted story.

Capcom finally returned beloved franchise to survival horror roots. Resident Evil 7 is definitely not the best game in the genre (or the series), but it's a solid step away from action-packed Hollywood-style entries to more grotesque, bloody and scary experience.

Guerilla Games did an amazing job on creating a nice open world game at first attempt. Yes, there are some issues here and there, but Horizon is still worth playing because of interesting story and solid combat. And holy crap, how gorgeous this game looks!
