Absolver is a good attempt to make a complex martial arts simulator that suffers from a lack of a normal map, a small amount of content, a broken cooperative mode and a strange system of mastering moves. Developers should have added new zones, schools and tests, and at the same time make interesting missions and events for people who have played the game several times and just do not know what else to do.

Syberia for Nintendo Switch is the best console console version of the cult adventure game at the moment - thanks to various settings, great touch controls and original graphics and content from the PC version. Despite some problems, the game is very addictive with its story, bright characters and unique atmosphere.

Another Resident Evil: Revelations port suffers from the laziness of developers, which translates into outdated graphics and the lack of worthwhile innovations (original game was released 5 years ago). On the other hand, you should buy this game if you love Resident Evil series and have not played through earlier versions of Revelations.

Black Mirror has an interesting storyline and interesting puzzles, but at the same time game suffers from terrible optimization and lots of flaws. Of course, if you love the "old school stories", you can give the game a chance, but everyone else should pass by.

It's better to play this game on PC. Console version is disappointing.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 has a faded and boring story, a huge amount of unnecessary and uninteresting characters, a lot of monotonous levels, bad camera, stupid companions and a broken cooperative mode. At the moment, this is the worst game in the superhero universe. And you just better skip it to avoid negative emotions.

Battlefront II's campaign is a failed attempt to make an expensive blockbuster that, without a popular license, would look very boring. Online multiplayer in Battlefront II, on the other hand, is significantly better than in original in all respects.

Perhaps Kirby: Battle Royale will appeal to small children under the age of ten, but if you are slightly older, you can safely pass by.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is a great chance to play an unusual role-playing game. If you have already passed through the original game and its add-on, you are unlikely to find anything new here.

Blue Reflection - a good replacement for the next Atelier with cute heroines, deeper characters and not a bad storyline. If it were not for pauses in the gameplay, problems with graphics, repetitive tasks and battles, this game would have deserved a completely different score.

Despite some shortcomings, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is an excellent RPG with a fascinating comic storyline, funny characters, interesting abilities and a system for creating artifacts and clothes. The creative approach of developers to game situations and great humor make this project one of the best in 2017.

Fire Emblem Warriors could've been much better if the script writers tried to create an interesting story and worked on characters more. But even so this is one of the best games in Warriors series with great graphics, atmospheric music and spectacular battles. Beautiful animations of special attacks and bright combos will please fans of the genre. If you liked Hyrule Warriors and Samurai Warriors 4, then you should pay attention to this game.

This is still a very high quality project with excellent graphics by the standards of Nintendo 3DS, beautiful cutscenes, interesting battles and excellent music. If you have not played the original Sun / Moon, then now is a good chance to catch up. But if you went through last year's version, then the re-release is unlikely to make you happier.

It's worth buying only if you're of the most devoted fans of Hajime Tabata's work.

AER Memories of Old is an attempt to make a beautiful story with breathtaking flights and an interesting outset, which, unfortunately, almost immediately causes irritation and yawning due to terrible navigation, bad controls and other mistakes of young developers . Perhaps in the future creators of this game will be able to offer something interesting, but now AER Memories of Old looks like some very early concept, which not passed through focus group.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is currently the best DLC this year. It offers an exciting story, new enemies and a lot of fascinating puzzles. If you have already played the base game, new adventures of Eloy are simply obligatory for buying.

RiME for Nintendo Switch is one of the worst ports in recent years, and you'd better ignore it. At least until developers will release a patch that fixes the performance and raising the resolution. And now, if you are interested in this project, it is better to try it on other platforms. And the game itself definitely deserves it.

However, someone may not like the primitive gameplay, and the price for a two-hour movie may seem quite high.

Need For Speed: Payback had all the chances to become a good game, but strange physics, boring competitions, a stupid plot and rough graphics spoiled the final impression. Of course, a good soundtrack is still in place, the desert landscapes look atmospheric, but an endless grind that does not give any pleasure, discourages any desire to play further.

The introduction of online mode should please fans of multiplayer, and the translation into Russian made the game really accessible for many gamers, but...
