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.

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.

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.

In all departments, except graphics, The Depths is inferior to the original game. There are no sufficient level of challenge, and the difficulty lies in timing and luck. The level's boss looks weaker than predecessors, and the new character doesn't offer a sufficient level of empathy. If Little Nightmares was the TV series, we would call this DLC a filler that is still not convinced us to buy a Season Pass.

Aven Colony is a very addictive city-building game, and it's a pleasure to spend a few hours after work with it. Despite not the best interface and certain flaws in the mechanics, the project stands out for its theme and content. And it is definitely a must buy for the fans of the genre.

Valkyria Revolution will disappoint fans of the original tactics and will not be able to hook a new generation of gamers who prefer action. Weak story, flat characters, forgettable monotonous missions and the failed game concept bring only disappointment. It is very sad that instead of established tactical formula the publisher has decided to release such a controversial product.

Splatoon 2 not just became bigger, better and more beautiful than original. It also more interesting and complex game now. A full-fledged single-player campaign with platformer elements, a diverse cooperative mode and dynamic multiplayer promise you many hours of fun. Sadly, game does not yet have a good variety of multiplayer maps, but the developers planning to release a lot of free content updates throughout the year, so you should not worry about the game's future.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a must buy collection of cult-classic games which, thanks to the efforts of Vicarious Visions, looks great. The artists did a great job adapting the style of the original at high resolution. Sadly, some outdated elements of game design has not been processed by modern standards, but even so the project manages to bring a lot of positive emotions 20 years after the original release on the first PlayStation.

Wipeout Omega Collection is a requiem for the cult classic of PlayStation, familiar product, processed under the modern TVs and technology. The collection is meant to entertain bored fans of racing genre, and may be very relevant before big holiday blockbusters hit the market. And if you are an old fan of the series, you need to buy this game anyway.
