Shining Resonance Refrain is a very cliched role-playing game, too boring and predictable for 2018. Biggest fans can spend around 30 hours on romance activities and silly dialogues with gothic lolitas, but for everyone else there are enough great games for deeper immersion out there.

This is the Police 2 is a proper sequel that develops the ideas of the original. Creators managed to maintain a balance between good and diverse gameplay, humorous situations and a depressing dramatic story. If you liked the original, then you should buy a second game from a day one.

Jurassic World Evolution is a dream project for the fans of the film, but it's not for everyone. Slow gameplay and some unfinished elements can scare off certain players. However, if you are in love with Spielberg's films and have a ton of toy dinosaurs, then this game can not be missed.

Despite significant progress in comparison with the first game, The Crew 2 has a number of problems with graphics, weak AI, lack of PVP modes... Always online and races on the planes are also disappointing elements. But even so, you can spend hundreds of hours in The Crew 2 and have a lot of fun.

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a fun casual fighting game with an excellent network code, bright characters and nice effects, which suffers from a boring plot, lack of arcade mode, so-so graphics and a small number of heroes from the presented universes.

Online multiplayer in the game is still more fun and exciting than single. Nevertheless, the developers were able to create an interesting set of various levels and did it beautifully and ingeniously.

Mario + Rabbids - Donkey Kong Adventure DLC is a beautiful expansion to the last year's hit. If you have finished the original game and want more with new mechanics and another portion of positive humor, you can safely buy a season pass. Ubisoft did an excellent job.

Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is one of those games where ignorance of the original source will deprive you of an understanding of a lot of special jokes and joy from a funny plot. Part of the gameplay with a grind of gold and resources, along with some technical problems, is a little annoying, as well as a crumpled narrative with primitive side tasks. At the same time, stylized graphics, turn-based combat mode and a set of abilities leave a generally pleasant impression.

Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers is an interesting project that skillfully combines the charm of cartoon Nintendo exclusives with stern post-apocalypse western setting. The only problem is that each of the gameplay elements is clearly lacking depth, and sometimes game feels too simple.

Pode is a not a bad cooperative adventure game. It's nice to play it with a friend in front of one screen, or alone, solving several puzzles during a day. If you are a fan of the genre, then it's worth a try. If no, well, then play something different.

The concept of a world inhabited by robots looks attractive on paper, though in Apex Construct it is far from Horizon: Zero Dawn not only in terms of graphics, but also in terms of the story, characters and environment. This game reminded us about low-budget projects released 10 years ago.

Octopath Traveler is an atmospheric game with unusual graphics, which suffers from a number of strange design and story solutions, as well as problems with interface and many minor flaws.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on a Nintendo Switch is a fascinating collection of nice puzzles with beautiful graphics, which lacks additional levels with bosses and a more interesting story. If you haven't played it on the WiiU, then it definitely worth trying.

A true masterpiece, near-perfect game. Fans of the genre will surely put it on a par with Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

One Piece: Grand Cruise is a big disappointment.There's a lot more interesting opportunities to spend time.

The Lost Child is a classic-style turn-based role-playing game with a first-person view, which features an intriguing story, well-designed puzzles and lots of opportunities to improve your party. On the other hand, this game is made with a very low budget, and it is pretty evident. If you're not a fan of exploration in the countless labyrinths, there's a chance that you'll get bored pretty quickly.
