The Banner Saga 2 is an actual testament to what a great game can achieve, regardless of its precedence. On top of that, the game feels extraordinarily well written, actions actually do matter, decisions carry on and the graphics and music are amazing.
The Last Blade 2 is a must-play title if you’re into fighting games, samurai games or if you want to make a trip down memory lane. The cross-platform compatibility functions are really something amazing and they should set a standard for most games of this kind.
While overall a good, captivating 4X/Grand Strategy hybrid, Stellaris does have sections that could benefit from improvement. Certainly there are flaws and things that could, and perhaps should, have been in the game. That’s why Stellaris isn’t a stellar (heh, heh) title right now, instead, being just a good 4x/grand strategy hybrid.
The people over at Tindalos Interactive have done their homework providing, through Battlefleet: Gothic Armada, an excellent Warhammer 40k experience and the first proper 40k game we've had in quite a while.
We Are The Dwarves is, perhaps, the classic case of a debut: it has good ideas, it even implements a couple of them well, but its edges remain a bit too rough.
If you want a narrative-driven experience, and you already devoured the Telltale Games catalogue, you should try this new alternative. Once you get past its obvious and annoying design flaws, you’ll find yourself facing a diamond in the rough, something truly entertaining.
Street Fighter V has something for everyone. It is a must play for every fan of the series, for fighting games consumers and for casual gamers as well, although they might find it a bit harder to dominate and understand the game completely, at least from the start.
Californium is first and foremost a delight for the eyes and the ears. Then, it’s an analysis on the effects of Elvin’s writing upon him, done in a quasi-interactive manner. Its simplistic, tedious gameplay drastically reduces the amount of players Californium can hope to appeal to.
If you like fighting games, Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel might probably suit you, but won’t dethrone any of your old time favorites and, if you’re not that into the genre, but would like to try something new, this might just be the best option for you.
What Grim Dawn does is make us focus on how ARPGs once were. It is not the fast-paced click-fest leaning towards accessibility that Diablo 3 is and neither is it the complex behemoth that Path of Exile has evolved into.
Firewatch is a good debut that shines in some places and doesn’t in others. It definitely has a charm of its own, however it leaves the feeling that it’s not quite as refined as it could be. Going through it once will prove a pleasant trek through a beautiful patch of Wyoming wilderness with relatable characters who have great chemistry between them.
A gripping, unforgiving, complex dungeon crawler that translates lovecraftian themes excellently into its world. There are few indies out there that do everything as well as Darkest Dungeon. From art style to gameplay, from sound design and narrator, which is truly exceptional, and the writing Darkest Dungeon oozes quality.
In spite of the gameplay’s apparent limitations and the lack of excitement of reading the story when you could hear it or live it, the game is a must-play for any fans of the genre, the Norse mythology, compelling and mature narratives, and videogames in general.
Valhalla Hills pulls at one's nostalgia strings in a sweet way but a couple of issues alongside an honor system that's more of an afterthought than central mechanic it wants to be makes it hard to recommend straight away.
Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition works as a hybrid of multiple games, but if you've played the original Darksiders 2, playing this game won't be all that different.
It may not excel in anything, but the combination of atmosphere, tactical combat and character customization were enough to help with overlooking the unimpressive, muddy visuals, the unfairness which, at times, made me feel helpless and its limited save system.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut still lacks the polish of other titles like Diablo 3 and Path of Exile, but it does provide a way to play through the entire story while holding onto your characters.
Secret Ponchos is a rather unique game with intense fights and a high skill ceiling but in need of more players. There’s E-Sports potential in Secret Ponchos and that comes from its gameplay that’s based around quick matches and lots of skill. Every mistake you make is your fault.
PES 16 may not be the greatest soccer game of all time, but it’s definitively worth your time and money. It’s a game that delivers a very satisfactory sports experience both to fans and newcomers.
Life Is Strange: Episode 5 - Polarized is an amazing final entry to the game as a whole making the entire game more than worth the price of admission.
