Blackwood Crossing is a simple but touching story about important things that games still rarely tell about. This little adventure is all about loss and its adoption. There's charming music and characters, but the most important thing in such stories is quality of writing. And here Blackwood Crossing, unfortunately, does not shine. Game talks with a complicated, and at the same time overly simple language. For any fan of deep and arty games it can still become a pleasant gift, but it can also leave a feeling of slight dissatisfaction.

Old fashioned but not outdated adventure with cute characters and lots of fun puzzles. Unfortunately, issues with the camera prevent it from being great.

Persona 5 is not only one of the best jRPG's in a decade, but the most polished Atlus product ever, with near perfect balance between great story and classic gameplay. Grab a vacation and be ready for hundred hours of campaign.

Incredibly difficult but nicely drawn, atmospheric and surprisingly deep platformer about long and rough journey of one small slugcat. Rain World don't really have enough mercy, the game doesn't forgive the slightest weakness or inattention, and it's rules can remain misunderstood for a very long time. To go through it, you need an iron will, perseverance and aspiration. If you've got what it takes, it could be a lot of fun.

Mass Effect: Andromeda had a potential to become the greatest sci-fi adventure of this console generation, but it feels a bit better than your average game. Andromeda definitely has some great moments, but more often it's just plain boring and frustrating.

Game's title speaks for itself. Wolves of Midgard may be rough and uncouth, but it is also a spir-ited, cocky and self-confident like true viking and as fascinating as good ballad told by a silver-tongued scald.

Not the worst FlatOut game but “4” in the title doesn't mean anything — you won't see much difference between this and FlatOut 2. But it's much better than awful FlatOut 3, although, to be honest, it wasn't that difficult to do.

Desync can give you some moments of joy. But more likely you will totally loose it and break a keyboard.

Cyanide continues to build its own dark fantasy world, step by step. And Shards of Darkness is a step in a right direction. Story is richer, gameplay is better than in its predecessor. And we only hope developers will stay on track for a few games more.

One of the best PlatinumGames' releases. Engaging and unforgettable action-RPG which flawlessly blends genres and constantly surprises. It's difficult not to be amazed — even after five main endings you'll probably want to come back to this strange, crazy and unique world.

Clearest example of open world's needlessness in a game. We probably would've rate it higher if it was a linear TPS or if the map was two times smaller. But for now you need to spend too much time in your vehicle to get to something interesting or fun.

Breath of the Wild is a new standard for an open world games. Yup, it's that simple.

Mae is a cat. Mae is a young adult back to Possum Springs, to get her childhood back and to find herself. Soulful personal story made with infinite love for those who're ready to listen, to experience it together with the narrator. For those who prefer the apple crate of books full of ghost stories that your beloved grandfather left you over the next blockbuster.

Tides of Numenera is not exactly the game we were waiting for. It tries really hard to be like Planescape: Torment, but the game is more like a prisoner of the past than its glorified return.

Guerilla Games did an amazing job on creating a nice open world game at first attempt. Yes, there are some issues here and there, but Horizon is still worth playing because of interesting story and solid combat. And holy crap, how gorgeous this game looks!

Unusual and for the most part unique hybrid of action and fighting games. And it's freshness is one of the main reasons why it stays fun for a long time. Unfortunately, disconnects and lags during the multiplayer matches are not that uncommon.

Halo Wars 2 is a bright, juicy and beautiful game with a bunch of small details, which make this sci-fi adventure a little more believable. Even after the astonishing original Halo Wars the sequel is still a unique (in some ways) and addictive real-time strategy and also a worthy continuation of story of a lonely ship lost in the vastness of space.

Husk is mostly disappointing. There's spark of a potentially good game buried beneath dozens of problems, but it's so small that it's not worth digging it out. Maybe next time.

Latest entry in the series copes with basic task – it's pretty fun and rewarding for a player to kill using a sniper rifle. Shame though that the story is boring, arsenal is pretty limited, and enemies' behavior is primitive. But the core sniping mechanic of Sniper Elite 4 can provide a couple evenings worth of entertainment.

Nioh is a great samurai action-RPG. It takes the best parts from Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden and Onimusha. Nioh truly shines in battles, which are fascinating even after dozens of hours.
