With Everspace, ROCKFISH Games gives us a well-done and dynamic space shooter, enhanced with rogue-like elements giving the player with a persistent goal to get better. Visually sublime, accompanied by a great story, Everspace is a must single-player experience on either console or PC.
WayForward Technologies Shantae: Half-Genie Hero's experience remains this fresh platforming adventure that will not disappoint you, full of comedy and fun characters, topped by an exemplary design.
Probably the best anime-style fighter out there and one of the greats in the fighting game genre, Guilty Gear XRD Rev 2 delivers a robust fighter that takes some time to master but rewards that patience with some remarkably fluid fighting action and a diverse cast with a unique range of moves and special attacks. It’s not quite like anything else out there right now, and I definitely recommend it for fans of the genre
A capable RPG sitting atop a lackluster shmup, Drifting Lands is much more focused on the looting and upgrading than it is on sidescrolling shmup action. Fans of ARPGs who enjoy the sidescrolling shooter format might enjoy this one, but it’s a tough sell for purists who want a more varied shooter.
Despite an average graphical game, DiRT 4 is still a great off-road racing experience, with great playing sensations and a real attention to details. Some will reproach it with too easy gameplay, but it is obvious that this DiRT 4 was made to appeal to everyone, unlike the previous games, dedicated exclusively to the hardcore fans of the franchise.
While it’s lighter on the scares than its big brothers in the horror genre, Perception ends up being much more memorable due to its well-crafted story and unique way of creating danger. Its central mechanic forces you to be careful and quiet, and its final chapter delivers a wallop that more than makes up for a slower start.
Kholat succeeded where many failed: to create a superb horror mood for a game, mixing great visual settings and a soundscape that is bewitching. In terms of gameplay, however, the game is limited by simple interaction and no jump system, plus frustrating death and errors with no reasons or explanation, which might test even the most patient players.
Dead by Daylight is not a game that had big budgets to back it up, so not being perfect is understandable, however we do not see any excuse on not fixing the mistakes they faced on PC before the release of the console version. But to be fair, the game is highly entertaining specially if all your friends are in the same lobby playing both factions. We have hopes for the future of the game as we can see the developers are already working on new content.
Since the release of The Elder Scrolls Online, Bethesda has not stopped enhancing its MMORPG and listening to fans. In this sense, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind perfectly fulfilled the objective set by the studio: an invitation to a journey through time to (re)discover the island of Vvardenfell, which may disappoint the MMORPG purists, but that will delight RPG explorers.
Housemarque has delivered another superb shooter with Nex Machina. It’ll have you dashing about, trying to save the humans and mowing down hordes of mechanical monsters. It’s a must for any fan of the genre, and its variety of modes will accommodate casual as well as hardcore fans
Playing on a minimalist gameplay and offering the worst experience as an FPS, Get Even nevertheless succeeds as a suspense story experience. With a great mood, clean soundtrack, and well narrated story, Get Even can be captivating even if filled with some clichés.
Final Fantasy XIV has always been an episode of the series in its own right, but Stormblood solidify that statement with style. Far from resting on his laurels, Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood clearly continued the successful Heavensward recipe, and tries new approaches to attract new players, with an exciting storyline full with great characters, involving the player at the center of this new universe. If you haven't played it yet, or been on a hiatus, this is a great expansion pack to grab.
While it’s by no means a bad shooter, Demon’s Crystals doesn’t have much to offer to help it stand out from the pack. Its lack of content and somewhat repetitive nature make it a more ideal recommendation for shooter fans looking for a nice arcade shooter on sale
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is a game I would recommend to only fans of the franchise, especially those that missed the 2015 PlayStation Vita version. This port is almost done at the bare minimum, with a partial upgrade of graphical elements, and a gameplay that doesn't work well on controller, but still is a decent story, if you have the patience to read through it.
Air Guitar Warrior: Gamepad Edition is a bizarre music and rhythm shooter, which pays homage to the good ol' days of the heavy metal scene in a simple indie package. While the title doesn't pose much of a challenge, it's a fun pick for a quick and affordable purchase.
The experience was very well thought of, and Antihero is one of the few indie games that I see myself returning to play day after day. I only wish they can add 3 or 4 more players and have bigger maps as the chaos will be entertaining. Despite certain bugs, I highly recommend everyone to play the game at least once, it is something rare and a true hidden gem yet to be discovered.
SUPERHOT VR is a totally new VR experience for the SUPERHOT world, and it’s amazingly well crafted. While the controls on PSVR can be a bit wonky, you’ll surely feel like you’re an action hero pulling off elaborate combos frame by frame. It’s not that long, but it has enough content to make for a really fun VR experience.
Supergiant Games delivers another unique, memorable title with Pyre. It manages to work on two totally separate levels, presenting a beautifully drawn fantasy virtual novel and a surprisingly complex twist on the classic game of football. Its story can be a little slow and a little bizarre, but it ends up having a lot of charm, and its core game is likely to become a local multiplayer classic
For once, Square Enix did not do a lazy remaster with Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Those who have already played the game will discover almost a different Ivalice filled with a reworked musical themes and a more sustained rhythm of play.
If you're a fan of the old retro Namco Bandai games, or are too young to have even played these games, then Namco Museum is for you. With 11 games, and an affordable price, on top of the portability of the Nintendo Switch, this compilation is a great way to relax alone or play with friends.
