Metroid: Samus Returns is an amazing gift from Nintendo to loyal 3DS users.

A fresh look at the combat system and Samus abilities, new comfortable controls, beautiful world, interesting puzzles, exploration orientation and brutal bosses make Samus Returns one of the best projects in the rich 3DS game library.

Shadow of the Colossus is a true industry achievement, which not only demonstrates the technical capabilities of video games, but also promotes them as a new kind of art - on a par with movies, music and painting. Even after many years Shadow of the Colossus remains a relevant game with a touching story, unusual gameplay, beautiful graphics and amazing music. This project is a must buy for any PS4 owner. Moreover, this time we have a real remake instead of a simple and very lazy port.
