If you see Decay of Logos on sales, sprinkle the screen with Holy water and run away quickly. Evil is insidious...

Multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 pleases with more conscious and thoughtful gameplay. The weapon feels much better than in the previous games, and the maps are pleasing elaboration and a high degree of detail. With regular updates and new sets of locations, the interest of players can be maintained for a long time.

The plot of new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 is rather idiotic, than Russophobic as some representatives of the domestic press could present it. Infinity Ward in pursuit of hype crosses fragile boundaries, hoping to create additional excitement around the product, but for all this set of stamps and provocations in front of you is still the same scripted attraction, which is not much different from the films of Michael Bay or student booze with stolen alcohol. You get your shot of adrenaline and the next day you will not remember what was there. In turn, our detailed review of the multiplayer expect later.

GRID 2019 is a hodgepodge of past entries of the series with a clear lack of content and has problems with a variety. Even so the game is quite good. If you've missed the series, you can give it a try, but maybe it's better to do it on sale after going through the major fall hits.

Overwatch for Nintendo Switch is a full-fledged Overwatch with nice graphics and relevant content, which is better to play on a large TV with a convenient PRO-controller in your hands. But even so, due to the reduced frame rate, this version looks less interesting to buy. Playing on other platforms will give you more positive emotions and will be cheaper. On the other hand, if you don't have other options, you can try Overwatch for Nintendo Switch. Blizzard's ingenious gaming formula, even with limitations, still works like a Swiss watch.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a real rehabilitation for Frozenbyte after the unsuccessful third game. Interesting locations with unique tasks, a great combination of skills and beautiful graphics will allow you to spend some great evenings in the company of light humor and favorite characters.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Nintendo Switch is an excellent classic comeback. The developers masterfully revived the world of adventure in 1993, improving the gameplay, preserving the atmosphere and high density of the island in a new bright wrapper.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Nintendo Switch is still the same masterpiece as before, but now with the ability to take the game with you. The clarity of the graphics significantly loses to the rest of the consoles, but it is not so noticeable in a portable format, especially given the good optimization and beautiful characters. If you dreamed to plunge into the dense atmosphere of Slavic fantasy on the road, you can safely buy the game. In all other cases, it is better to take a cheaper and more beautiful version for PC (or other systems).

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a strange attempt to create Destiny from a popular tactical shooter. A game has sufficient amount of the original mechanics, but drowning in bugs, weak story and terrible optimisation of the final product. If some of the bugs will be fixed sooner or later with patches, the empty world, boring missions and the lack of normal tactics will remain here forever.

Concrete Genie could be called a cute and socially important game that touches on the theme of ecology, but in fact it is an example of dull game with a bright concept.

Untitled Goose Game is a very fun project, which is nice to play together, sitting on the same couch and trying different solutions to problems. Goose is cunning and charismatic, people are a bit stupid, and the results of interaction almost always lead to comical situations. What else do you need for a chilly autumn evening?

All this is very disappointing, as the game itself is still great - with fun gameplay, cool locations, huge opponents and spectacular story events. If you prefer to play in portable mode, you can try.

Over the years, technology has changed dramatically, as have standards in level design and console controls. Despite its strengths, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast for Nintendo Switch and PS4 looks like a lazy, not adapted and obsolete port. You can play it, but given the huge number of more successful new products and remasters, it is not necessary. If you want to go back in time and remember the classics, it is better to do it on a PC that solves at least the problem with controls.

At the moment WRC 8 should be considered for purchase only if you need a detailed career mode and so you avoid DiRT Rally 2.0. Or because you already beat the hit from Codemasters up and down and you need another similar game. Even so, I would recommend waiting for patches and discount.

Despite all the drawbacks, Code Vein is fun to play. Nice characters, fan-service and clear presentation of the story are great. The tightened sections with the story about the past of heroes, visual secondariness of locations, simple opponents and easy bosses can spoil impression to hardcore fans of a genre, but beginners have to be satisfied.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is the ultimate version of last year's hit, which sparkle with new colours in almost every term. Yuji Hori's team took into account the roughness of the first iteration and carefully reworked a huge variety of aspects, not forgetting to include all the content and a number of pleasant innovations. All this makes a great game even better. And the opportunity to take it with you is a real joy for fans of the genre.

Daemon X Machina is a mediocre release with a terrible story, monotonous missions, uncomfortable camera, low resolution graphics and problems with balance. Art, battles with huge robots and a powerful soundtrack are great. In iTunes there is a pre-order for the full version of the soundtrack and it will be the right purchase for fans of "metal". What can not be said about the game itself.

Apparently, EA Sports is preparing for a new generation of consoles and saved all the major changes in the mechanics and graphics for next year. Therefore, the only fresh solution was the Volta mode, which replaced last year's story and managed to bring new sensations to the project. In all other respects, FIFA 20 can be called a minor update, created for fans who buy games in the series on an annual basis. If you are not interested in street football, it is better to wait for discounts.

Borderlands 3 is a great co-op shooter/RPG with huge amount of content and good variety of loot, locations and quests. Shooting, exploring the locations and collect new guns is fun and interesting. Especially with friends online. Problems with framerate can be annoying, but I want to play Borderlands 3 even after tens of hours, and this is important.
