For unsightly graphics Terminator: Resistance hides a great project that offers nonlinearity, well-prescribed plot, interesting characters and a really great atmosphere of the gloomy future. Of course, the lack of budget is very noticeable in the animation and physics, but you really feel that the game is made with love.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a beautiful remake of popular PS1' games, which could be much better if the developers updated the gameplay and solved a few old problems. However, fans of the series and the genre are definitely worth a try.

Blacksad: Under the Skin is a great adventure game with a charismatic cat-detective, variable dialogues, well-written story, high-quality translation into Russian, with the exception of one not voiced piece, and well-chosen music. A large number of bugs is a disappointment. However, most of them will be fixed by the nearest patches. Therefore, you can simply postpone the purchase of this wonderful game until the second half of December, when everything will be corrected.

Indivisible offers a diverse and well-spelled world with interesting characters and more than 20 companions, each with their own unique fighting skills, but all this variability dies in the abyss of button mashing during battles and high peaks of difficulty in the arcade part of the story. As a result, you yawn during monotonous fights and rage at moments of overcoming platforming sections.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth may be the last major project for the Nintendo 3DS. But most importantly, it does not disappoint, offering dozens of hours of tactical battles, exploring of complex locations and an interesting plot in the scenery of the cinema. Without losing depth, the developers managed to make the new Persona available to a wide range of players who are ready to spend a few weeks of their lives in the world of neon lights, stylish hairstyles, music and interesting battles.

Crystar is a good story with serious themes and interesting characters, which gets bogged down in a swamp of dull one-button gameplay, monotonous corridors, the same opponents and artificially prolonged gameplay. If the developers reduced the length to 10 hours, corrected the camera and combat mechanics, or simply released a visual novel, thousands of players would be much happier.

Of course, for someone Deliver Us the Moon may seem too long and boring with extra sections of stealth or crooked jumps on platforms, but this project from KeokeN Interactive is sometimes better at conveying the atmosphere of danger and loneliness than multimillion-dollar blockbusters. And the story itself with a strong life message deserves recognition.

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep filled with grinding and reuse of old locations, which is unlikely to please fans of the story. However, the most beautiful raid in the game and a variety of high-level activities pull out the overall impression. The changed formula of content' presentation, beautiful graphics, all sorts of in-game events and more flexible setting of equipment for the character will please fans of the series. In addition, Bungie plans to maintain the interest of players during the year, which means that a considerable part of the content we have not yet seen.

Devil's Hunt has interesting moments and good visuals, but it all sinks into a delusional plot and poorly implemented mechanics, where battles are broken and puzzles are reduced to the press of a button. You can certainly hope that something will change in the console version in 2020, but I strongly doubt it.

Afterparty is one of the funniest and most plot-driven games of this year, which constantly throws out too much information on the player, so even with a good level of English you will have to work hard.

Telling Lies is a weak interactive film in screencast format that tries to become relevant at the expense of the left-wing agenda. The keyword search system still looks fresh and together with the player's imagination should have created the magic of immersion, but the lack of convenient rewind system, ability to conduct an investigation and match several videos finished off an interesting concept.

On the one hand, the game has lost its arcade drive and charm, on the other - it's still a good Monkey Ball, albeit not without drawbacks in the form of inappropriate bosses, wacky mini-games, outdated graphics and a little different cartoon style.

The main problem of Fallback is the irregularity in generating stations with modules and character's progression as well as the insignificant duration. With proper luck and skill the world of the game can be completed in half of an hour. And this is not exactly what you want from the project, even for a small price. Anyway fans of the genre can try.

In Death Stranding complex themes of life and death, love and loneliness are mixed with a slow meditative and at the same time intense gameplay, where climbing the mountain slopes surrounded by enemies causes incredible experiences. The story of Sam Porter's journey is the most emotional, incredible and powerful we've seen in the last few years. And of course, the amazing acting of Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen and other cult actors will not leave anyone indifferent.

The Outer Worlds is an interesting role-playing game that is designed for fans of smart dialogues and nonlinearity. If you are one of them, you can safely try the game. However, Obsidian again lacked a budget, which by the end of the narrative becomes all too obvious.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is a great continuation of the cult game with fascinating puzzles, interesting bosses and very beautiful levels, which lacks a more interconnected world. However, it is all better than the second game, so if you like Dark Moon or you love the adventure genre, then you can buy a triquel without hesitation.
