In Death Stranding complex themes of life and death, love and loneliness are mixed with a slow meditative and at the same time intense gameplay, where climbing the mountain slopes surrounded by enemies causes incredible experiences. The story of Sam Porter's journey is the most emotional, incredible and powerful we've seen in the last few years. And of course, the amazing acting of Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen and other cult actors will not leave anyone indifferent.

The Outer Worlds is an interesting role-playing game that is designed for fans of smart dialogues and nonlinearity. If you are one of them, you can safely try the game. However, Obsidian again lacked a budget, which by the end of the narrative becomes all too obvious.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is a great continuation of the cult game with fascinating puzzles, interesting bosses and very beautiful levels, which lacks a more interconnected world. However, it is all better than the second game, so if you like Dark Moon or you love the adventure genre, then you can buy a triquel without hesitation.

If you see Decay of Logos on sales, sprinkle the screen with Holy water and run away quickly. Evil is insidious...

Multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 pleases with more conscious and thoughtful gameplay. The weapon feels much better than in the previous games, and the maps are pleasing elaboration and a high degree of detail. With regular updates and new sets of locations, the interest of players can be maintained for a long time.

The plot of new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 is rather idiotic, than Russophobic as some representatives of the domestic press could present it. Infinity Ward in pursuit of hype crosses fragile boundaries, hoping to create additional excitement around the product, but for all this set of stamps and provocations in front of you is still the same scripted attraction, which is not much different from the films of Michael Bay or student booze with stolen alcohol. You get your shot of adrenaline and the next day you will not remember what was there. In turn, our detailed review of the multiplayer expect later.

GRID 2019 is a hodgepodge of past entries of the series with a clear lack of content and has problems with a variety. Even so the game is quite good. If you've missed the series, you can give it a try, but maybe it's better to do it on sale after going through the major fall hits.

Overwatch for Nintendo Switch is a full-fledged Overwatch with nice graphics and relevant content, which is better to play on a large TV with a convenient PRO-controller in your hands. But even so, due to the reduced frame rate, this version looks less interesting to buy. Playing on other platforms will give you more positive emotions and will be cheaper. On the other hand, if you don't have other options, you can try Overwatch for Nintendo Switch. Blizzard's ingenious gaming formula, even with limitations, still works like a Swiss watch.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a real rehabilitation for Frozenbyte after the unsuccessful third game. Interesting locations with unique tasks, a great combination of skills and beautiful graphics will allow you to spend some great evenings in the company of light humor and favorite characters.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Nintendo Switch is an excellent classic comeback. The developers masterfully revived the world of adventure in 1993, improving the gameplay, preserving the atmosphere and high density of the island in a new bright wrapper.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Nintendo Switch is still the same masterpiece as before, but now with the ability to take the game with you. The clarity of the graphics significantly loses to the rest of the consoles, but it is not so noticeable in a portable format, especially given the good optimization and beautiful characters. If you dreamed to plunge into the dense atmosphere of Slavic fantasy on the road, you can safely buy the game. In all other cases, it is better to take a cheaper and more beautiful version for PC (or other systems).

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a strange attempt to create Destiny from a popular tactical shooter. A game has sufficient amount of the original mechanics, but drowning in bugs, weak story and terrible optimisation of the final product. If some of the bugs will be fixed sooner or later with patches, the empty world, boring missions and the lack of normal tactics will remain here forever.

Concrete Genie could be called a cute and socially important game that touches on the theme of ecology, but in fact it is an example of dull game with a bright concept.

Untitled Goose Game is a very fun project, which is nice to play together, sitting on the same couch and trying different solutions to problems. Goose is cunning and charismatic, people are a bit stupid, and the results of interaction almost always lead to comical situations. What else do you need for a chilly autumn evening?

All this is very disappointing, as the game itself is still great - with fun gameplay, cool locations, huge opponents and spectacular story events. If you prefer to play in portable mode, you can try.

Little Misfortune is a bright charming adventure with beautiful graphics and a dark background that will give you a few hours of exciting journey through amazing worlds full of horror and magic.

Over the years, technology has changed dramatically, as have standards in level design and console controls. Despite its strengths, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast for Nintendo Switch and PS4 looks like a lazy, not adapted and obsolete port. You can play it, but given the huge number of more successful new products and remasters, it is not necessary. If you want to go back in time and remember the classics, it is better to do it on a PC that solves at least the problem with controls.

At the moment WRC 8 should be considered for purchase only if you need a detailed career mode and so you avoid DiRT Rally 2.0. Or because you already beat the hit from Codemasters up and down and you need another similar game. Even so, I would recommend waiting for patches and discount.

Despite all the drawbacks, Code Vein is fun to play. Nice characters, fan-service and clear presentation of the story are great. The tightened sections with the story about the past of heroes, visual secondariness of locations, simple opponents and easy bosses can spoil impression to hardcore fans of a genre, but beginners have to be satisfied.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is the ultimate version of last year's hit, which sparkle with new colours in almost every term. Yuji Hori's team took into account the roughness of the first iteration and carefully reworked a huge variety of aspects, not forgetting to include all the content and a number of pleasant innovations. All this makes a great game even better. And the opportunity to take it with you is a real joy for fans of the genre.
