6.9 / 10.0 - Sea of Thieves
Mar 22, 2018

Rare banks heavily on the journey you'll experience with Sea of Thieves, yet sadly the destination is confusing or might be a letdown for others. At the current state, we cannot suggest Sea of Thieves as a game but it's solid on a technical level and can be fun with friends for a while. Let's hope Rare can upgrade the experience fast enough to keep the attention of the most loyal players.

A title completely created by one guy, Yono and the Celestial Elephants is kid-friendly adventure, which hides a rich symbolic lore underneath its cartoonish appearance. I wouldn't recommend playing the game for its gameplay, but for the experience and discovering quite a deep story about the harmony of all things.

Need For Speed ​​Payback is a game lost trying to do everything at once, ultimately giving you an uninspired arcade racing title. It's almost as the franchise forgot the simplest beauty of what it was: a racing game full of speed and its thrills.

The Caligula Effect is as fascinating as it is technically failing as a game. This is the kind of title that will be probably remembered for its art style, story and innovative gameplay, but will sadly at the same time, be known as a technical mess and bland progression.

7 / 10.0 - Akiba's Beat
Jun 6, 2017

It’s obvious that Akiba’s Beat is inspired by hit titles like Persona and to a lesser extent Tales Of, but it misses the mark and doesn’t manage to deliver what made those titles great. The story has its moments, but its bogged down by a wordy script and clichéd characters. The repetitive combat doesn’t help, and Akiba’s Beat goes down as another forgettable JRPG.

7 / 10.0 - Eagle Flight
Jan 5, 2017

Eagle Flight is a satisfying experiences for the PlayStation VR at the time of launch, but despite its excellent thrills of speed, its originality and successful aesthetics, it lacks a lot in variety and depth. Would've particularly appreciate that its very multiplayer part could have more than a single mode. Nevertheless, a good demonstration of what Ubisoft could do in the future with more time on a VR platform.

If the core gameplay mechanics becomes quickly repetitive and boring, The Trail: Frontier Challenge is still an original game from 22cans and Kongregate. I would advise you to try it on mobile devices first, before jumping the gun and get this console version especially with a $15 price tag.

7.1 / 10.0 - Fear Effect Sedna
Mar 5, 2018

With Fear Effect Sedna, Sushee has managed to create a different yet faithful new episode in a long forgotten cult franchise. While the gameplay mechanics are not optimal for most, and the graphics engine is sub-par for what you would expect from a 2018 title, but it's worth picking if you're a fan of Fear Effect. Here's hoping Fear Effect Reinvented, a remake of the original Fear Effect and Sushee's other project, will be a better way to showcase the French studio's talent.

7.1 / 10.0 - ELEX
Nov 6, 2017

Poorly designed in term of combat, storyline and mechanics, ELEX is a game that Piranha Bytes should be ashamed of, especially considering their previous RPG legacy with the Risen and Gothic franchise.

7.1 / 10.0 - Human: Fall Flat
Dec 19, 2017

Human: Fall Flat is original in its concept and frankly funny for a few hours, but runs out steam unless you have a friend to rely on.

7.2 / 10.0 - WWE 2K19
Oct 13, 2018

If you like the WWE 2K series, you probably don't need this review anyway. With everything said and done, WWE 2K18 is still a competent recreation of modern pro wrestling that can provide a fair bit of fun for some time. The Community Creations servers are already filled with surprisingly life-life player created versions of the missing wrestlers, not that that should be an excuse to axe them from the official offering. Now, can someone port Pro Wrestling '86 to the Switch, please?

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a weird fighting game. It tries to appeal to newcomers by banking on hypersexualization of its characters and downplaying game mechanics which might push away fans.

Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is exactly what a franchise tie-in game is, mixing known gameplay mechanics and ideas to a world built by an iconic animated series, without really excelling anything. It's still a great entry point into the world of turn-based RPG for some and will definitely appeal to fans of the animated series for sure.

7.2 / 10.0 - NBA Playgrounds
May 17, 2017

A bit more demanding than usual, NBA Playgrounds fits in the right line of NBA Jam and NBA Street, without a constant comparison. The game may be arcade in looks and gameplay, but it tries to compensate for a slightly more demanding timed control schemes, which might not be fun for all. Too bad that the solo as the multiplayer part have been shipped almost half-baked at launch, and I really hope that the updates and patch will be coming fast to keep the momentum.

7.2 / 10.0 - Portal Knights
May 27, 2017

Portal Knights is a game that will satisfy lovers of the Minecraft-like genre, but unfortunately remains too much of the same despite the extra adventure and RPG side of it. It's nevertheless a great building game with a squeeze of action-RPG flavor for good measure if you have friends.

7.2 / 10.0 - Kholat
Jul 2, 2017

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.

7.3 / 10.0 - Disgaea 1 Complete
Oct 10, 2018

Disgaea 1 Complete brings back the franchise to life and gives a chance for newcomers to experience a stellar game that amazed players humour in the days, it does it so with impressive combat, characters and a stellar soundtrack. Disgaea 1 Complete falters graphics wise, still managing to look aged even with the updated visuals and with a system that requires much grinding.

7.3 / 10.0 - Shape of the World
Jun 7, 2018

Shape of the World is more of an interactive experience than a game, but that shouldn't push you away from trying it.

7.3 / 10.0 - State of Decay 2
Jun 7, 2018

State of Decay 2 is a disappointing game but not really a failure. While Undead Labs have managed to add so many elements that were missing in the original title, they sadly failed to fix the same bugs that kind of plagued the first game. Good intention, but bad execution, yet I'm sure some hardcore sandbox and survival management players will enjoy it.

Atelier Lydie & Suelle switch to a twin heroine concept is both funny and entertaining, but the game overall is technically outdated and doesn't add much in terms of gameplay from its predecessors.
