Torment: Tides of Numenera lives up to the Torment name by crafting a deep, engrossing quest that takes you into a strange world where you come to grips with fate, life, death and everything in between. It’s got a ton of dialogue to read through but you’ll be turning the figurative pages before long, and the story has some truly jaw-dropping moments. A modern classic.

Despite the lack of originality in the genre, Horizon Zero Dawn is a textbook example of a game perfectly put together to give the audience an emotional and unforgettable experience. The freshness and the beautifully crafted world is what we have been waiting to see this year and it has been delivered on a golden platter. Aloy just gave Lara Croft a run for her money. She is the ultimate badass.

While it’s tough to mix complex tactics with mainstream shooter mechanics, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands manages to offer up a tactical shooter that can appeal to a broad audience and still have something for the tactics aficionados. There’s a ton to see and do in their dystopian version of Bolivia, and it’s probably a good idea to bring a friend if you want to enjoy the game’s terrific online co-op.

8.3 / 10.0 - BOOR
Mar 10, 2017

BOOR's focus seems to be on the general look and feel and Dazlog Studio did a great job at highlighting that. I would consider it a game you'd go back to play once completed unless you're trying to be a self set timer or a no death achievement but at the current price point, it's definitely worth checking out

8.8 / 10.0 - Nier: Automata
Mar 10, 2017

More than a successful sequel, NieR: Automata is a gem with multiple flavors for all sort of players. While some will undoubtedly make the mistake of focusing at its dated technical features, they will miss out on an experience full of twists and turns. Featuring a captivating scenario that raises a lot of reflections on what goes on with the machines, NieR: Automata enhance the gameplay of the original 2010 game, adding much action from the know-how of Studio PlatinumGames. Original and surprising on many aspects, fascinating to discover and to listen to, NieR: Automata has it all to make it a memorable game.

9.3 / 10.0 - Nioh
Mar 10, 2017

Nioh is the kind of action-JRPG that we like, and while it’s heavily influenced by Dark Souls and Bloodborne, it has its own charm and original mechanics. Nioh's level design may be rather simple and linear when compared to the sprawling worlds crafted by From Software, but the combat system is dynamic and lives up to the standards of Team Ninja. In short, Nioh is not a simple clone or reskin of Bloodborne as most thought, but rather it combines Bloodborne’s challenging combat with its own mechanics and world-building to form an amazing gaming experience that will entertain fans of From Software games and newcomers to the genre.

7.4 / 10.0 - 2Dark
Mar 16, 2017

2Dark shows that the creator of Alone in the Dark is still full of good ideas. Even if this game seems like a cute old-school title, it hides a terrific survival game which does nothing like the modern ones, even if it can get a bit buggy. In any case 2Dark is a rather hardcore title, which should largely satisfy lovers of stealth and survival horror games.

Styx: Shards of Darkness is an enjoyable easy to pick stealth game. It has all the tools to set a solid footing among the best in the genre like amazing variety in levels, likeable character, very well designed open levels, and addictive stealth mechanics, but sadly it stumbles and fails to do so, chalk it to the sense of incompleteness that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. I highly recommend it to the fans, if you liked Master of Shadows, you well like this game even more, I recommend a buy but in a later time with a budget price.

7.3 / 10.0 - Lego Worlds
Mar 20, 2017

LEGO Worlds will surely fill those who have always been fascinated by the idea of a digital version of the Danish construction game. The possibilities are interesting and everything has been done to please LEGO fans, but on the level of pure gaming, the adventure is soon struck with redundancy. LEGO Worlds is a promise that one could hope it gets better in the years to come.

8.3 / 10.0 - DESYNC
Mar 21, 2017

Desync can be frustrating at times, but it’s a well-designed shooter that forces you to focus and choose your moves carefully as you battle hordes of neon monsters. Its thumping, bass-heavy soundtrack and neon world make for a very immersive shooter experience, and it’s an easy recommendation for fans of shooters.

Mass Effect Andromeda is neither a bad entry to the series, nor a title capable of reaching to the heights of the original trilogy. If it enhances the core gameplay of the saga, and offers fresh new settings and a solid game lifespan, Mass Effect Andromeda's lack of finishing touches hurts the experience, whether in terms of technical performance or even core storyline and a cast of character that can't keep up with the Commander Shepard's crew. Yet you will experienced a new memorable adventure, marked by discovery, which becomes a sign that not only the game has traveled to a new galaxy, but the franchise itself is ready to explore new boundaries.

7.6 / 10.0 - Rain World
Mar 26, 2017

Rain World manages to create a big, scary world for you to navigate but it doesn’t really put much in that world besides its visuals. You’re not given much instruction, and after a while it can feel boring and frustrating to get through. The game does offer quite the challenge, but with no real reward or sense of progression, it’s not a challenge you’ll feel like taking on.

9.9 / 10.0 - Persona 5
Mar 28, 2017

Persona 5 is almost a perfect game and P Studio's best entry in the series, making it a must-buy PlayStation console exclusive. Thanks to an excellent story, charismatic cast of characters, a perfectly calibrated combat system, quality dating sim mechanics, amazing soundtrack and art direction, topped with a monstrous lifespan thanks to a New Game+, Persona 5 might be the best JRPG of 2017, if not the best game released so far.

Switch - or Die Trying is a simple platformer that shines at times but doesn’t really do anything to help it stand out.

Holobunnies: Pause Café definitely shows us that the devs are working on something promising and that they’ve got the chops, but it’s still essentially a glorified demo

7.5 / 10.0 - Yooka Laylee
Apr 20, 2017

Despite the defects and bitter aftertaste, Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee fulfills in part its main promise: one of bringing back the nostalgic N64 platformer games.. This highly respected tribute to the productions of the Rare era should undoubtedly be a great pick its fans, with the same gameplay mechanics, colors, worlds, and themes, but in the end lack the soul and flair that made that old generation what it is.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is exactly what you would expect after the recent release of Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, especially in terms of remastering techniques. Each of the compilation's titles are cleaner and more fluid... And that's it. In its entirety, this compilation is a must-have if you want to relive the good days of yesteryear without dusting out your old console, or something great to play if you never played the franchise in preparation for the upcoming third game.

8.3 / 10.0 - Puyo Puyo Tetris
Apr 25, 2017

They might be old game concept, but this Puyo Puyo Tetris fusion works amazing well for a lone player or with friends. SEGA has managed to create a new type of Puzzle game that works very well, whether you've played Tetris before, or never heard of Puyo Puyo. Adding to that the possibilities offered by the Nintendo Switch in terms of portability and local multiplayer, this is a sure pick for the new Nintendo console.

Little Nightmares might have a striking artistic direction and a dark story to tell, but it's lacking originality by looking too much like PlayDead's INSIDE.

8.2 / 10.0 - Hollow Knight
Apr 26, 2017

Hollow Knight takes the classic metroidvania formula and builds on it by creating a deep, harrowing world for you to explore. Its smooth, intense combat and innovative progression system are sure to draw in fans of the genre.
