The main characters, the story, the choices, the moral dilemmas, the audio, the overall experience...it all comes together in one fantastic package. Quantic Dream's Detroit Become Human is not only the studio's best game, it also raises the bar for the genre. A fantastic adventure that blurs the line between cinema and video games.

One of the best games of 2020 and overall one of the best Assassin's Creed games ever made. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the best tale the franchise has ever told, featuring the most varied and rewarding gameplay the series has seen in years. Valhalla will forever dine in Odin's Hall as one of the greatest RPGs of this generation.

Horizon Zero Dawn The Frozen Wilds and its mysteries residing in Thunder's Drum may not reach the same heights as the main game and does not start a revolution and has a pretty weak storyline too but it offers enough new and diverse content that all fans of mechanical dinosaurs wanting to return to this world after defeating Hades should play it without hesitation.

I loved the beautiful world and engaging combat. But every once in a while, everything would grind to a halt and I'd have to deal with the overworld strategy mechanics that feel poorly integrated. and I'm amazed how tragic audio layer has made this game unbearable. The music is irritating, to say the least, and when you disable it appears that there's not much left - besides the dialogs the game seems muted. This is the first time in my gaming career that I've felt that the game is destroyed because of sound only.

The core of the game is sound, it just needs to be more upfront with the player about what it’s doing. It’s really frustrating for me because I keep booting it up and I keep playing it, but eventually tangled web of systems gets the better of me and I’ve got to close it in a rage. It pains me because with the easily identified issues to the interface this is a game which would comfortably clamber up to 8.5, perhaps even 9 out of 10. Who knows, a few patches down the line, maybe Railway Empire will get there. After all, no train arrives quite on time.

I’d never played a Yakuza game before this one, much to the dismay of certain friends. While it’s definitely a daunting franchise to enter into, Yakuza 0 is simultaneously the best and worst starting point for newcomers like myself. It has the challenging combat and wacky humor that you’d expect. Yakuza 0 takes it back to where it all began, but a mildly interesting setting and story don’t quite make up for the game’s more tedious elements.

Looking at single aspects, SpellForce 3 is successful on all fronts, but this does not tell the whole story as on some level the game fails to come together cohesively. Building up RPG characters works largely well, but the RTS strategy sections leave a lot to be desired and the heroes simply melt into the background too much to be in any way meaningful. There is nothing wrong with the game; it is just never an awesome experience.

Nice trailers, great announcements, and the game itself is boring and repeatable. The battles last forever. Since you can’t have more than a dozen units at any time and defensive buildings can only be placed in pre-determined spots, your tactical options are extremely limited and no matter what you choose, you’ll end up playing whack-a-mole with enemy troops.

Although you’re given a solid level of control over individual squads, you have little control over the game as a whole. Nothing about the game reaches out to the player and pulls them into an immersive WWII experience. Blitzkrieg 3 cannot penetrate the hearts of RTS enthusiasts.

Horizon Zero Dawn is familiar but also really refreshing. and the storytelling feels concise and efficient. The combat has some nice options that make encounters fun, even when you're just stacking up stealth kills from the relative safety of a bush. And the presentation end of the game holds up its end of things with a solid soundtrack, great voice acting, and a cohesive design that makes all its disparate parts fit together. All in all, it's a great game.

Another masterpiece from the folks at Massive, and one of the most beautiful visions of warfare you're ever likely. Developer Massive Entertainment has been making real-time strategy games for almost a decade now, but World in Conflict is undoubtedly the studio's masterwork. Everything about this game is top-notch, from the addicting gameplay to the amazing visuals. More importantly, World in Conflict offers up a refreshingly new approach to strategy gaming.

It's quite simply the best single player game I've ever played. And extremely well recommended for anyone who likes action based RTS where you get right into it, Cold War thrillers, and wants a game that feels like a movie experience. The story and narrative are creative, voice-acting and cut-scenes are awesome. It's like experiencing a Cold War action flick.

To everyone who liked, or still likes, World in Conflict, World in Conflict Soviet Assault is a must-have. The simple fact alone, that you’re finally able to play as a commander in the Russian Army is sort of a fans dream come true.

I really wanted to like The Medium. It tells a grown-up tale fitting for the genre and features strong location design and sound design. But In the end, I have to say that I was bored due to the repetitive gameplay, shallow presentation, and poor game controls. The Medium is a decent psychological horror from the start, but it’s rather hollow when it comes to gameplay.

A beautiful, deep, and endlessly replayable murder sandbox, featuring some of the best levels in the series. IO interactive managed to create an unforgettable experience that will be regarded as the best stealth game for many years to come. Hitman 3 is the best of the newer Hitman games and quite possibly the best Hitman game in the franchise.
