Prey can be best described as the ultimate hybrid of Resident Evil, Deus Ex, Bioshock and Dead Space, along with its own set of original features that sets it apart from other games.
Dragon Quest Heroes II is an hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors clone that's laced with appreciated RPG flavoring. A must for any Dragon Quest fan, and a nice starter to those who aren't into this kind of genre.
If you are just jumping in for the very first time, prepare to have your mind blown away. A true modern multiplayer classic, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe stands as one of the greatest games that Nintendo has ever made.
What Remains of Edith Finch is a short but bittersweet adventure of a family struggling to live with its past. It's not exactly bombastic but it'll likely tug a heart string here or two.
A long time coming and rather long in the tooth mechanically, Syberia III can't overcome its lack of polish, technical issues and shoddy script to really live up to its predecessors.
Little Nightmares is a fascinating and wondrous little game that manages to tell a story without using words, reach the uncanny with a cartoonish style, and make a platformer into a horror experience. It's fun, imaginative, and at times terrifying. It was well worth every moment spent playing. Its flaws are rare, but make brief sections of the game tedious and frustrating. Overall, Little Nightmares is an extraordinary game.
Overall, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has some awesome features for customizing and building up your weapons, a wide open world where going about the mission is up to you, and a fun drone to pilot around, but the bland story, bugs and glitches, and lazy design choices make this game nothing special.
Familiar yet terrifying, Outlast 2 mixes excellent production values with genuinely disturbing imagery and subject matter. It's a long way down to the abyss but it's worth every minute of the fall.
Lego City Undercover is a comical, open-world adventure set in a Lego world that doesn't borrow from other franchises. Despite the warts, it's easy to get yourself lost in its whacky tale.
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 3 is a masterful product that blends familiar but fun gameplay with a new story and challenges. It's the perfect fit for both hardcore Warhammer fans and casual RTS players.
Drawn to Death is neither a total hit, nor a complete misfire- it does a lot of things wrong, but it also does enough things right for it to end up as one of the most thoroughly unique, if flawed, shooters on the market.
With a ton of content to offer, MBL The Show 17 is perhaps the best sports game on the PS4, both from gameplay and visual perspectives.
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is a recommendable dungeon crawler, with fun and interesting enemies, a wide but not overwhelming array of player abilities, and an engaging combat system that demands that players remain on their toes and think carefully about what abilities to use and when. However, a few technical issues, and a repetitive structure prevent the game from being something for players to return to after they’ve completed the main story.
Day of Infamy delivers an excellent product for a narrow field. It is an easy sell for fans of tactical shooters, and anyone interested in WWII era games. However, the game is not friendly towards casual gamers, and players who are unfamiliar with the genre will find Day of Infamy a frustrating and slow experience.
As a well-rounded platforming experience with smart writing, fun platforming, strong production values and evocation of the good ol’ days, Yooka-Laylee is worth your time.
WRC 6 is a product for a very narrow base. Fans of the World Rally Championship who are looking for a faithful re-creation of real world tracks and cars will find that here, but outside audiences, even within the world of rally racing video games will find that WRC 6 offers little beyond its core experience to retain players past a few hours of gameplay.
From Software brings the Souls train into the station on a fittingly somber, yet high note with this excellently realized content. The one stumbling block comes from trying new things at a stage where they probably shouldn’t have with introducing the stealth element. nevertheless, as a concentrated showcase of 8 years of Souls and the journey along the way, it’s an excellent send off to the age of fire.
FlatOut 4: Total Insanity has a solid foundation to draw in new fans, and is a welcome addition to the genre for fans like myself.
Persona 5 represents Atlus’ best work yet, a masterpiece that keeps on giving back to player and it’s unlike anything you will play on your PlayStation 4.
Overall, Troll And I tries too many things at the same time. It's a classic case of a development studio getting over ambitious and failing to achieve their goals with the game. With more development time, Troll And I could have provided a memorable experience but right now players should stay well away from it.
