From our Preview: I Am Setsuna takes the familiar pieces of Chrono Trigger – its classic active time battles and awesome tech-based attack system – and builds a much darker world around them. Tokyo RPG Factory’s one-hour demo presents environments full of muted colors, a quaint mountain village setting, and depressing consequences. The heroine Setsuna has a major role to play in this dire narrative, as she sets off on a perilous journey to sacrifice herself in order to save the world from the wrath of monsters. “Setsuna means a type of poignant sorrow in Japanese," director Atsushi Hashimoto told IGN at GDC 2016, as he hinted at the project's overall tone.

From our Review of the Theatrical Cut: After three years of intense hype and scrutiny, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (henceforth known as BvS) is finally here. And it’s OK to good with some very fine and some very off-base moments peppered throughout. BvS never fully transcends into being an awesome viewing experience and yet is also too competently made to be anywhere near the disaster its haters have predicted. That said, if you've already made up your mind about BvS then the actual film itself won't do much to change your mind one way or another.

From our Review of the Xbox One Version: Console MMORPGs are apparently tricky affairs: regardless of how much effort developers put into them, something always seems too off — too complicated — and up until now the genre's thus largely remained a PC thing, especially in its purest sword-and-sorcery form. But Neverwinter for Xbox One gets closer to the ideal than any other EverQuest-inspired console MMORPG before it. I’ve played and enjoyed Neverwinter before (when I reviewed it on PC two years ago) but this time its Dungeons & Dragons-themed online action hit almost all the right spots. As a free-to-play game, it blazes a trail for others to follow with generous content and great controls for its fast and fluid combat. I can’t ignore the deafening silence of its community and some potentially deadly performance problems, but Neverwinter stands among the finest free-to-play MMORPGs on consoles to date.

Kill Strain is a 5-on-5, top-down shooter project from Sony Computer Entertainment that pits humans against mutants. In order for a game to end, one of several outcomes must be reached. As a human, destroying either the opposing human OR the mutant base, will end the game. As a mutant, converting all human players OR destroying one of the human bases will terminate the game as well. By completing objectives and actively participating in actions that help a match come to a close, you’ll gain points and put yourself in a more favorable position on the leaderboard.

ARK: Survival of the Fittest is a tournament-style battle game set in the world of ARK: Survival Evolved. Each SotF battle takes place on a modified version of the ARK Island, with the objective being to eliminate all other survivors before they can eliminate you. The map is covered by a dome-shaped force-field that shrinks as the match progresses and there have been many alterations made to the core-game which effect leveling, taming, gathering to ensure that players are able to reach the end game before the dome completely shrinks. Survivors not only have to worry about each other and the elements, but also the mysterious ‘Evolution Events’ which take place every 15 minutes and can have a major impact on the game, such as drastic weather changes, or predators falling from the sky.

Starbound begins with you fleeing your homeworld in a space shuttle, just as it's destroyed by an unknown enemy.

As luck would have it, the space shuttle makes contact with an abandoned space station and an adventure begins that will take you hurtling across the universe. Starbound contains both quests and story driven missions, buried inside its vast sandbox universe.
The space station in Starbound is sprawling and full of potential. Throughout your travels you'll find ways to upgrade and repair it, restoring it to its former glory. You'll need to find a crew, conduct research, catch rare creatures, and unlock its multitude of facilities. From a factory capable of producing mechs to labs where captured enemies can be studied and trained, the space station contains everything you need to explore the universe.
