I LOVE STRAIGHT ROADS

If you have ever read "Neuromancer" by William Gibson or other similar sci-fi / hacking novels, this game is what I imagine the most accurate representation of cyberspace to be. While the 'hacking' might be a bit repetitive after a bit, the difficulty scaling is good enough to provide a sizeable challenge.

I have to admit, the game is a bit disorienting; the tutorial only teaches you how to hack, and when entering the 'run' I was lost. At some point I had voices talking to me and I wasn't really paying too much attention to them as I really didn't know that they meant by 'here' at times. It takes a bit of getting to know the game to really get into it, but it is fun.

Give it a go, it has tons of things to discover, and most of all, it is free :)

Addictive resource gathering + tycoon combo with great and funny characters, an interesting plot, and amazing animation and soundtrack. A word of warning, you'll end up craving some sushi.

REVIEW:
It's one of the most innovative shooters I've played in years. "Time stops when you stop" is a very good premise for a shooting game, that ACTUALLY DELIVERS! Paired with a thrilling story and clean a e s t h e t i c s , SUPERHOT makes for a shooter that'll have you glued to your seat, buttcheeks clenched until you clear it.

PROS:
- Time stop capabilities that allow you to plan carefully and execute some wonderful moves to reenact your most forbidden Kill-Bill style fantasies.
- Has a thrilling, very eye-catching story that'll have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

CONS:
- Does not have Co-Op and I still wonder why.
- Does not have PVP cause who will give themselves the headache of creating multiple timestops.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
SUPERHOT!!SUPERHOT!!SUPERHOT!!SUPERHOT!!

REVIEW:
Slime-Rancher. A game where you have a ranch, with slimes. Yes. You read me right; Slimes. Cute (& usually) little creatures that are there for your raising, feeding and profit purposes (you don't sell them off so don't worry). If you ever wanted the very relaxing experience of leading a laidback farm-life with a twist of fantasy, then pick this up, it definitely won't dissapoint.

PROS:
- Raise, slimes, feed them, sell their cores for profit, upgrade their containment cells and do trade offs with strangers on the internet.
- Has a well written story.

COMMON GROUND:
- It's very relaxing. May be or not positive.

CONS:
- Takes a lot to automatize certain farm processes so it may turn tedious for some of the game while you run from side to side trying to keep everything from falling apart.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
Yes, as long as you're looking for something cute and laidback to spend your time on.

REVIEW:
Ever dreamed of shredding big monsters with beautifully combined combos, diverse weapons, map knowledge and strategy? Then well, why wait more! Monster Hunter: World is waiting for you!

PROS:
- Really fun, epic gameplay, even more fun with friends!
- Beautiful levels, very vivid monsters, gorgeous plants, food and people; it looks awesome!
- Can get tough at times if you're up for some challenge.
- Attack system is very good; attacks feel like they hit properly (and parts fall off too!), diverse weaponry, different combos and a high skillcap for some of them makes it rewarding to learn and execute correctly.

CONS:
- Has high graphics requirements.
- It's very grind oriented, so you may grow tired of it from time to time.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
Yes. A very satisfying PVE game that's playable with up to 4 friends, all with the purpose of eating food, hunting down monsters and upgrading gear, then rinse and repeat? Count me in.

REVIEW:
If you ever wanted a story-rich, soothing-but-not-enough-that-you-fall-asleep, underwater exploration game, then ABZU is for you. With astonishing, colorful graphics; playful and engaging mechanics, it is sure to deliver a complete rewarding experience. From the devs behind the masterpiece "Journey", comes ABZU.

PROS:
- Story-driven gameplay, with clear intentions even without dialogue.
- Easy-to-run, beautiful & colorful graphics and textures, PLUS WILDLIFE!
- Absolutely gorgeous soundtrack.

CONS:
- Felt a bit too short.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
Absolutely. I recommend picking this game up when a discount is available, but if you'd rather go full price, it is a very rewarding game to play, that leaves your heart feeling satisfied.

REVIEW:
Ever dreamed of being a shark? Of shredding peoples legs apart? Maybe you're an anarchist? Then this is for you.

PROS:
- Really fun gameplay, even more fun with friends!
- Dynamic shaders and effects, it looks awesome!
- Can be pretty nervewracking sometimes, especially if you're a scuba diver.
- Attack system is dynamic.

CONS:
- Many PC's aren't capable of running it, due to the requirements. Shaders and effects (especially those from the water) ask for 'too much' of 'normal' store-bought PC's.
- Those who pay for DLC's get a huge advantage.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
Well, yeah. If your PC can run it, then you're good to go.
