World of Warriors is an example of a game that works normally and even looks relatively adequate, but the concept itself is so mediocre that there is absolutely no reason to play it on the PlayStation 4.

God of War has a great story and sets a new level in almost everything: from epic boss battles to the world building. And if you haven't bought a PlayStation 4 Pro with a 4K TV yet, now it's the right time to do it, if you want to see the peak of what entertainment industry of the 2018 can offer.

Detective Pikachu is a wonderful quest, where the bright atmosphere of the Pokemon series coexists with 1940s detectives stylistics. Intuitive gameplay, an interesting plot and a great music will please even those who are new to the Pokémon world.

Terrible controls, outdated gameplay with a bad loot drop system and many bugs make Console Edition of Titan Quest a mess.

Despite the fairly average story, Q.U.B.E. 2 should please fans of Portal-like adventures thanks to interesting puzzles, nice graphics and atmospheric levels.

Celeste is an unexpectedly great combination of genres and touching story about finding yourself, a true 2D masterpiece. Both Super Meat Boy lovers and Metroidvania fans will enjoy it.

Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom features simple plot, and this aspect can disappoint those who are waiting a deep history first and foremost. But on the other hand, game is filled with an interesting content, and shines thanks to an excellent combat system and beautiful graphics.

A Way Out features interesting co-оp mechanics, several beautiful chases with a great camera work, properly placed checkpoints, stunning (by the indie studios standards) graphics, and, at the same time, an absurd script and stupid characters.

During first few days Sea of Thieves feels like a brilliant pirate adventure game. Beautiful world, unique co-op mechanics, complex ship management from the first person view, great compass system without any mini-maps with marks, and battles between the players create a huge number of interesting situations. But then you begin to understand that exploration element is underdeveloped, the world is barren, and there are too few opportunities for new fresh adventures. Basic mechanics are incredibly cool and promising, so Rare needs to act fast and create new content updates and expansions.

The Long Reach is a well-written game that suffers from backtracking, pixel hunting and not always logical puzzles. We hope that the next game from Paint Black Games will take into account the shortcomings of this one, and it will be much more fun and addictive.

Far Cry 5 plays best in co-op with a friend thanks to many crazy situations and fun moments. The basic story is not bad, but Ubisoft is copying itself and amount of recycled elements can upset someone. Still, excellent graphics, helicopter missions, treaure hunts and many other things make Far Cry 5 a good game.

Excellent humor, graphics and funny characters make Chuchel a good game. Of course, the simplicity of puzzles cause slight disappointment, but it is still a positive and very high-quality project.

Kirby Star Allies is nice, but too simple game that's designed for younger audience and cooperative play. Some levels, like sections with flight, together with good puzzles can please even adults, but project lacks more complex levels, dynamic action and a real challenge to be truly addictive.

The Council Episode One: The Mad Ones is an interesting interactive adventure, which bringing fresh ideas to a stagnant genre. It could've been better without plot holes and outdated character models. Still, it's a great start.

Fear Effect Sedna features nice and well-made animated cutscenes, strange and sometimes completely annoying puzzles, and barren gameplay with terrible controls, especially during boss fights.

Yakuza 6: Song of Life is a very deep and exciting game with a great sense of humor and strange, but fun side quests. Fans for sure won't be disappointed.

Kingdom Come is an interesting project, but with all its brilliant ideas, today it remains incredibly incomplete - especially on consoles.

Despite lazy efforts of Capcom, Devil May Cry HD Collection definitely will please fans of the cult series from PlayStation 2, thanks to the distinctive style, hardcore gameplay and favorite characters in DMC and DMC3.

Instead of a great cooperative action game we got a dull project about monotonous shooting at stupid enemies during base defense. What a sad finale of Metal Gear series.

Rad Rodgers has a nice graphics and animation, but suffers from too simple mechanics, strange game design choices at some points, messy camera and unremarkable bosses.
