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...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for Nintendo Switch is a great occasion to replay the cult role-playing game from Bethesda wherever you are. A successful adaptation for the hybrid console allows you to run a large-scale RPG even on the road, which seemed impossible a year ago. If you are a fan of the series and you have a Switch, then it's definitely worth a try, and new players simply have to get acquainted with one of the brightest projects in the modern history of the genre.

WRC 7 proved to be not a bad rally simulator, which is worth trying if you already played quite enough of DiRT Rally and DiRT 4, but you want more. Of course, if you do not mind the faded soundtrack and simple graphics. If you played WRC 6, there's nothing essentially new in WRC7.

Call of Duty: WWII is a good, but sterile blockbuster, which you will most likely immediately forget after one walkthrough.

Sonic Forces could've been much better if developers paid more attention to the levels structure, physics of the characters and controls. Perhaps in the future Sonic Team will make the necessary updates to the mechanics with patches, but right now the game is raw and unfinished.

Non-charismatic characters, poor plot and simplistic puzzles along with the lack of 3D make Layton's Mystery Journey the weakest game in the main series yet.

Assassin's Creed: Origins is one of the best games in the series that was able to refresh mechanics and offer an amazing world exploration.

Doom on Switch is an amazing port that looks incredibly great in a portable mode, but really outdated if you play it in home console mode on a large TV. Nevertheless, it's still Doom with meaty and fun gameplay. If you prefer a portable gaming or want to be able to play Doom on the road, you can safely buy this version of the game. In other cases it's better to buy it on PC, PS4 or Xbox One.

Super Lucky's Tale - not a bad, but too simple 3D-platformer for younger audience. Despite nice design, funny characters, high-quality localization and working mechanics, the project practically does not develop at all and it definitely lacks the variability, challenge and fresh ideas.
