We are the Dwarves had all chances for success thanks to an interesting idea, but a unique game world was buried under a pile of numerous problems. A constant struggle with the controls on Xbox One and strange game design decisions did not give a slightest chance of tactical mechanics to prove themself. Jerky picture and low framerate do not add positive impressions and quickly become tiring. We can only rely on a big update that will fix all the technical issues, or try the PC version. Until then, the console version can be safely ignored.

Pokémon Sun & Moon feels like a few steps back for the series. The game presents many irregular, but largely disappointing decisions, which replaced the convenient functionality of past releases.

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World is good portable adaptation of home platform game with adventure elements, which is primarily captivating by cute knit art design. Beautiful graphics, low difficulty, lots of secrets and a special section with small cartoons will delight the youngest audience. Older players will probably prefer something more complicated and dynamic.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare: DLC 1 - Sabotage is a nice addition to the last year's game, which does not contribute important innovations to the gameplay, but adds a good variety of maps to a basic multiplayer content. A new location for a zombie mode should please fans of horror genres, but we would like to see more radical changes in regards to physics and shooting.

Styx: Shards of Darkness is an interesting development of the ideas of the original game with an amusing humour and a charismatic main character that suffers from many errors, deficiencies and other problems that will be partly fixed with updates. But this is unlikely change our opinion about the game. I put a rating based on atmosphere, diversity and stealth, but you really have to love the genre to get pleasure from this game.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands suffers from the repeatative missions and lack of polishing. There are no truly new ideas, dull AI, naive story, and not everyone will appreciate even those ideas, which were successfully borrowed from other games. You will spend a lot of time travelling on the huge map, shooting dummys. But with all this new Ghost Recon does not skimp on the atmospheric moments and fun gameplay at a high level of difficulty, giving a lot of positive experiences with the co-op mode with four friends.

Mass Effect: Andromeda has many noticeable problems, including strange animation, ugly characters, logically incomplete quests and numerous minor flaws. But this game offers an interesting main plot, nice RPG system and a huge world where you can explore different planets, solve puzzles, fight giant monsters, uncover secrets of the universe and participate in the colonization of deep space. Of course, this is not the Mass Effect we wanted, but a very large and interesting game, which significantly extends the known universe.

Nier: Automata have been able to absorb the very best from original game, including great music, powerful and very complicated story and unique blend of several genres. Platinum Games has expanded the character customization and greatly improved combat, which now should please not just RPG fans, but also Action enthusiasts. All this allowed the project to reach an entirely new level of performance. Nier: Automata is, without a doubt, one of the best releases on the PlayStation 4 and the game that should everyone, who cares about unique signature projects, returning us to the Golden Era of the PS2, play.

This is not even a breath of fresh air! It is a bottomless oxygen tank. In the universe of Numenera almost every meter of space, character or scenario penetrated by some phenomenal madness. Torment: Tides of Numenera is a masterfully written interactive book with a gripping storyline that makes you want to reread again and again. If developers will correct numerous technical problems, feel free to add another score to the final grade - both on PC and consoles.

VOEZ is a pleasant and unexpected musical game that will help you to diversify leisure on the Nintendo Switch. The Legend of Zelda, despite its huge length, is still not infinite. And when the question about buying new projects arises, VOEZ may be the right decision.

Faeria is an interesting and beautiful game that brings new ideas and solutions to a conservative genre. Several controversial issues can play a cruel joke in longer term. However, with a proper attention from developers this game will easily occupy its niche, securing itself a brilliant future and thousands of hours of fascinating battles for fans of card projects.

Diluvion is a game about meditative study and contemplation of the underwater world. Atmosphere of adventure, attention to detail, lively characters and a really interesting world outweigh the serious disadvantages.

Snake Pass is a very strange game that tries to be meditative and hardcore at the same time. It does not allow you to relax and enjoy the gameplay and pleasant music because of the constant drops in the abyss, the slowness of the main character, traps, bad controls and bugs related to the save system.

Fast RMX definitely deserves attention, even if you played Neo for WiiU. The game supports all versions of configurations and controllers with the ability to reconfigure the controls. It looks insanely beautiful in both TV and portable mode, occupy only 835 MB on hard disk and have super fast loading screens, which is very convenient for short trips. If you are looking for a dynamic and very spectacular racing game, Fast RMX is the right purchase.

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier Episode 3: Above the Law seeks to break the vicious circle of the shock content, trying to create some semblance of a psychological series about morals and family values, but sometimes writers lack the skill to submit a story at the appropriate level.

Drawn to Death is done with soul, but disappointing in gameplay aspects. It can not cope with it's duties in terms of matchmaking and providing a comfortable online play. And considering that except online there's nothing here, it becomes quite sad.

Shovel Knight is a fresh take on the classic genre, which not only absorbed all the best that could represent the market, but also adapted the old ideas under modern standards

Mr. Shifty is a game with a great idea and an interesting first levels, which is sorely lacking variability and rebalancing of gameplay in the later stages. Repetitive interiors and almost endless waves of heavily armed enemies begin to disappoint in the middle of the game. Which is very sad.
