Akiba's Beat efficiently translated into English, offering a variety of funny situations and well implemented jokes that seems a huge achievement for a game from a small developer. But if you are not a fan of anime and a long visual stories, you can remove a couple of points from our score. And judging by the statistics, the majority of gamers have not mastered the game quitting in the first Chapter. Only 8% of users were able to go through the dull plot twists and backtracking to the final chapter.

ARMS is a unique 3D fighting game, which offers many innovative solutions and interesting mechanics. Simple input system, depth of gameplay and seven difficulty options allow you to have fun even if you are not a seasoned fan of the genre. The game feels great in portable and TV modes, tightening in the depths of the arcade fun. For the full set of happiness the game lacks an interesting story mode and more characters. But it should be fixed in future free updates.

Strafe tries to be a fun game in which player should laugh after sudden death and start again. But stupid AI, bland weapons and unbalancing system of random generated levels reducing the great idea to 30 minutes try out. So if you want to feel the crazy 90s again and refresh the feelings from old school shooters - just play the original Doom or Quake - they still better than newcomers like Strafe.

Dawn of War III will be interesting to fans of multiplayer and Warhammer 40,000 universe. As for the story campaign, it seems that Relic Entertainment had simply not enough time and budget to bring their offspring to mind.

Despite our hopes, Farpoint is boring first person shooter for PSVR, that lacks interesting combat situations and deep story.

RiME is beautiful and emotional game that sometimes seems too constricted. The secrets and collectibles should encourage you to multiple playthroughs, but not in that case. Too simple puzzles and far-fetched psychological concept cause slight frustration. But you feel fuzziness from lengthy game stages, which could be a little shorter and a little more diverse.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a failed attempt to make a clone of Far Cry with a focus on sniper battles. The game was drowned in bugs, stupid plot, superfluous mechanics and boring gameplay.

Review in Russian |

Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is an example of a good idea drowned in poor implementation. Bad map system, terrible navigation, dull world with the sterile side quests, filled with resurgent enemies, strange combat mechanics and terrible camera cause only one feeling - a deep disappointment. And even good puzzles are not able to save this cute, but such a raw product.

The Sims 4 - Parenthood is a quite nice addition that adds more realism and meaningfulness to everyday life of virtual wards.

Review in Russian |

GNOG is a bizarre collection of puzzles with unique style, unusual concept and problems with game design. Developers simply forget to give necessary hints and tips to solve the puzzles. As a result it is very easy to get stuck in and start to experience unpleasant emotions. These feelings are compounded by annoying music, which consists of several samples and plays in a circle. Fortunately, the game can be completed without new-fangled VR-gadget, but you are likely to be disappointed in any way.

Inner Chains is a four-hour interactive journey into the world of fantasy of Tomasz Strzałkowski, devoid of motivation, balanced gameplay and an interesting story.

New LEGO City Undercover is not the best remaster of the original game. Updated graphics and co-op option is OK, but developers forgot to fix most of the technical flaws. If you have not played it on WiiU and you like LEGO, then do not skip Undercover. The implementation of game mechanics is still one of the best in the series, together with an excellent full translation into Russian language it can give you about twenty hours of wonderful experiences in cubic LEGO-world. On the other hand, the updated version does not add nothing really new, and if you played the original on the WiiU, you can safety skip the remaster.

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is OK for devoted fans of the original work, who rarely play games. For everyone else this is another dull project in the series - with the same type of missions and depressing monotony of the gameplay.

Persona 5 is a monumental exemplary story-driven jRPG with a crazy design, unusual for videogame music and incredibly rich story, where you want to stay forever. A huge amount of content and new mechanics that open up as you progress through, unique dungeons, almost complete absence of grind and a great rhythm bring it on game Olympus. This is a major achievement in the genre at least for the last five years and one of the main contenders for GOTY 2017.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare: DLC 2 - Continuum felt pale in comparison with the first add-on - Sabotage - due to the uneven level of quality of maps. And while somewhere you can see interesting ideas and pleasant realization, sometimes it is possible to observe very unfortunate things that cause only disappointment.

Dragon of the North is a nice DLC for all fans of Nioh, which slightly expands basic content and allows you to extend the fun of the project. With strong mechanics, the only serious disadvantage is the longevity. Anyway, if you liked the game, you can safely buy this add-on.

Forza Horizon 3 - Hot Wheels is a bright and fascinating arcade DLC with insanely beautiful graphics - a pleasant experience even after passing the final race.

Review in Russian |

The Surge is a good attempt to shift Souls mechanics into a world of a technological future, but a general secondariness, samely levels, problems with combat and boring enemies leave a touch of disappointment. In addition, the developers have not added multiplayer modes, which can be considered to be an obvious omission. However, to the credit of Deck 13, the game does not cause irritation, allowing you to spend time waiting for new additions to Nioh or a next project from Hidetaka Miyazaki.

The Sims 4 - Get to Work is a very nice addition that brings even more diversity to the popular sandbox. However, like previous DLCs, it's just a piece that was cut from the core game functionality, made with the patterns similar to the DLCs of the previous games. Get to Work should be one of the first to get into the shopping cart of any fan of The Sims, unless, of course, a fairly high price of 1,499 rubles is not a problem.
