Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice evokes the strongest feelings of empathy thanks to a great production, deep character development, animation work, special effects and unique sound. Unfortunately, boring tasks with runes and too simple fights in limited arenas with waves of enemies are not the best elements for an original and emotionally strong project. I hope that with good sales on PSN and Steam big publishers gonna work with Ninja Theory again and studio will release a game of DmC level or something even more great.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is an example of a great remaster that corrects the flaws of the original version, allowing you to get true pleasure. Even eleven years after the release, the game feels fresh and in almost all respects surpasses the Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XV. Even if you was disappointed with the original release for some reason, be sure to give the game a second chance. The Zodiac Age bersion is simply gorgeous.

Reservoir Dogs is an isometric action with tactical elements, which is repelled from one concept: enter the building, take the money and go out alive. Unfortunately, after the tenth same type mission this game becomes absolutely boring. Bloody Days lacks a full-fledged story, interesting and well-developed characters, and instead has broken game mechanics and boring missions. You simply have literally nothing to do in this project, even if you are a big fan of virtual violence and action.

Accel World Online: Millennium Twilight is designed exclusively for the fans of the original worlds, who are ready to have fun with their favorite characters and endure a poorly written script and exceptionally monotonous fights. Just do not say later that we did not warn you.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - beautifully crafted completely independent adventure, which has everything we love in the series. The game draws in an incredible maelstrom of events with exploration, puzzles, lively characters and stunning action scenes. And it's very pleasant that it was Chloe who became the main heroine of this story.

Matterfall is the first notable failure in Housemarque's career. There is not even a bright and technological graphics, which studio is famous for. This is faded, boring, artificially prolonged game with a bad save system and stupid enemies. Of course, you can spend three hours of your life on it, but it's better to just skip this project and pay attention to one of the much more attractive summer hits.

Agents of Mayhem clearly lacks a cooperative story mode and more varied missions that could make the game more fun. So, it's left to pull itself out of the secondary marshes thanks to well-designed characters, humorous dialogues and a pretty visuals.

Nioh has become bigger, harder and a bit more diverse. Defiant Honor is a great addition to the excellent game, which can be criticized only for the traditionally not realized plot potential and modest size of the new content. However, fans of hardcore and hunters for the best equipment will have a real test, because the complexity of the Way of the Wise will make you die a million times in anticipation of the last planned DLC, which is called "Bloodshed's End"

Pyre is a unique game that clearly targets a very narrow audience. A mix of different elements and dynamic rituals is very addictive, but as soon as there is practically nothing left on the field, except for battles, Pyre can get you bored. But trying a game is still worth it. Not so often you find something so unusual.

Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 1: The Enigma, thanks to an interesting plot, new relationship system, good balance between dialogues, action and adventure, promises one of the most profound and interesting projects from Telltale Games. We hope that the creators will continue to be able to maintain strong dynamics and the presentation of the season.

Sundered is a nice game with interesting bosses and mechanics, which suffers from the advent of complexity talismans, problems with levels generation, long download times and poor optimization on the PS4. Perhaps some of these shortcomings will be resolved by patches, and we're taking this into account with our score.

Tacoma is a beautiful, albeit graphically ascetic, game for fans of the "Walking Simulator" genre and interesting stories, which requires your attention when exploring the environment, listening to dialogue and viewing electronic correspondence. However, it is well translated into Russian, so you'll need just a desire to know the secret of the space station and enough perseverance. And that's not a problem for the project, which takes just two hours from start to finish.

Thanks to Stormblood and all the innovations - Final Fantasy XIV is back on the honorary Olympus of the best MMORPGs on the market. Naoki Yoshida and his team did the impossible by making a great game even better, while fixing the annoying problems. Ultimate Final Fantasy of our time is here - and it's Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward felt mixed. Interesting story that started a large-scale conflict was spoiled by the slowness. Exciting new classes for each combat role is great, but controversial pantheon of tribal gods are not left us in awe as Titan or Leviathan. Highly complicated and overburdened combat system and the uneven balance of battles and dungeons also do not benefit the project.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn feels like a real - old school - Final Fantasy, which created a solid foundation for further development. You will find here a great atmosphere of a fantasy world with its major conflicts and local issues requiring the attention of adventurers. Vivid universe inhabited by diverse races living near cult classic creatures and a myriad of stories that will not leave anyone indifferent. A Realm Reborn has become one of the best projects in Final Fantasy franchise, and it is a must play for everyone who love this series.

Panty Party is able to entertain a couple of days, but this game is critically short of budget, which affects the ease of control, graphics and overall quality. However, if you like anime, this game will be very useful, especially considering its price on STEAM. In other cases, find something else.

Kirby's Blowout Blast is a strange downloadable release in the popular series

Hey! Pikmin is a good portable spinoff which tries to rethink the classical formula of the series in 2D, but significantly limits the interactivity and reduces the variability of gameplay. Boss battles and stylishness of the game smooths overall experience, but if you play on a normal 3DS, you can subtract one point from the final grade

The main problem of Black The Fall lies not in political bias, but in absolute unoriginality of the whole project. Snatching a bunch of design decisions and mechanics from more successful colleagues, the developers failed to turn them into an interesting story and challenging puzzle game.
