Despite the new name, Judgment is the next chapter in Yakuza series with a great story, excellent English voice acting, realistic graphics, charismatic characters and addictive gameplay.

Resident Evil for Nintendo Switch is a great adaptation of the cult game. This is one of the best projects in the series, which you should definitely play, especially if you've already completed an amazing Resident Evil 2 Remake.

Jagged Alliance: Rage! is a small-budget project, which clearly lacks unique features, polishing, depth and good plot. The gameplay is too monotonous and needs elements from the first games of the series. Hopefully, THQ Nordic will allocate more funds and find professional developers for a full-fledged Jagged Alliance continuation in the future.

Resident Evil 0 for Nintendo Switch is a good port of a classic project. It looks most advantageous in a portable mode, where all the roughness of the picture is smoothed out. Sadly, story is kinda bland. Game also lacks an adequate inventory system and some puzzles are illogical. If you've already completed an amazing remake of Resident Evil 2, as well as a re-release of the first one, but want another game with a similar mechanics, then you can try playing this release. But given the price tag it's better to buy it during a sale.

Observation is a very strong science fiction game with a rich story. It has excellent graphics and good puzzles, but suffering from pixel-hunting, visual effects and scripts that require consistent execution. But if you want something truly unusual in terms of serious space adventures, then you simply forget about all of these shortcomings while watching the mystical story and development of relations between S.A.M. and the most ordinary person - scientist and cosmonaut Emma Fisher.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch is a great way to remember the famous game, especially if you missed the PS4 adaptation or the PS2 original.

Dark Devotion is a nice 2D version of Dark Souls with some changes that can offer exciting gameplay and interesting bosses. Peaks of difficulty at the end of the game and closing doors can upset many players, but these are the conventions of the Dark Devotion' world. And if you were looking for a replacement for Hyper Light Drifter and Death's Gambit, then you found it.

Total War: Three Kingdoms is not an ideal part of the popular series, but still remains a very addictive project with tons of gameplay. The idea of transferring the setting to Ancient China turned out to be a real trump card in the sleeve of talented developers, and the annoying flaws are likely to be corrected by the next updates.

Blood and Truth is currently the brightest and most memorable demonstration of VR technology in gaming. In addition to shooting, it offers dozens of mechanics for exploration, some kind of a non-linearity in missions and an interesting plot filled with action.

Tales of the Neon Sea at its core is a really exciting and interesting adventure with strong characters and a complicated storyline that, by the third act, loses its original fuse and degenerates into an incredibly difficult and dull puzzle.

Close to the Sun could've been a really cool adventure game, but boring riddles and predictable plot with a crumpled finale are like a cold sobering shower to the player.

Team Sonic Racing is a fun arcade racing game with familiar characters, good track designs and an emphasis on team play, which suffers from outdated graphics, lagging multiplayer and other number of problems. Do not expect revelations.

Lorelai is not a game for everyone. It is oppressive, depressive, sometimes repulsive, shocking, or causing persistent irritation, but it is the one that creates a storm of very different emotions and really makes you think.

The only reason you might want to buy Rage 2 right now is the bloody, bright, uncompromising fights with the best shooter mechanics in a while. The rest of the product is buried in the monotonous routine of an open world and a weak plot, and will be forgotten, as the original was, in a few months.

GRIP: Combat Racing suffers from a number of flaws, inadequately hardened difficulty and dead multiplayer. The project may appeal to old Rollcage fans and fans of high-speed arcades, but everyone else can safely skip the game or wait for big updates.

Life Is Strange 2: Wastelands is an unsuccessful attempt to create a rebellious product. Characters are badly written and a story is boring. And that's the worst verdict for a modern interactive adventure.

Incredibly emotional adventure with an amazing story and excellent characters. A Plague Tale: Innocence is not just a glorious game and a big achievement for the team, but a greatest discovery of the year on the market so far.

Ghost Giant is a fabulous and very soulful project with a strong world, interesting puzzles and original mechanics. A worthy family story with cute characters, a doll-style environment and a moral storyline.
Review in Russian |
Intruders: Hide and Seek is a well-thought-out psychological thriller with an interesting plot, good characters and an unexpected denouement that suffers from outdated graphics and constant running around the floors. If you have a PSVR, buy this game on sale - story alone is worth it.

Vivagames was able to offer well-developed female characters, addictive puzzles and convenient shooting and reload mechanics, but all this positive experience drowned in primitive graphics, uninteresting bosses, and weak environment and locations in terms of design.
