LEGO® Harry Potter: Years 5-7
First of all, I love both LEGO and most TT games (especially the STAR WARS games) and I grew up with Harry Potter.
Storywise, there is some really good, typical, visual humor and the Story is of course amazing, if you enjoy Harry Potter.
The big deal with this game is however, that the raw gameplay is fantastic. Of course, you have to own a controller, because the game is, in my opinion, unplayable without one. But if you’ve got that figured out, there is nothing between you and an amazing game.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 (Action-adventure)
Notes: Controller highly recommended! Ginormous snake warning!
I’ll skip the usual options and general gameplay description since I covered it all in my review of the first Lego HP game HERE . There are a few changes to the core of the game besides the expected changes in scenery.
First off, the graphics are more complex than in the first installment. The changes help to illustrate the growth of the characters, both in physical age and in maturity. Those familiar with the HP series of books/movies know that eventually we move away from Hogwarts and into entirely new areas. LEGO HP handles these new areas very nicely, and they manage to tie everything together in a way that feels both isolated and connected at the same time.

Magicka 2
My experience in Magicka 2 vs Magicka 1.
I’ll start it off with the first time I played Magicka 1. The moment I started to grasp the concept of regular combinations, element combinations, and the special spell combinations, thats when I begun to experiment on so many spells (be it regular spells or the special combination spells, or both), and found it absolutely fun at how I can play the game differently each time and would still enjoy it nonetheless.
Thats when I absolutely fell in-love with Magicka. It promised a sort of freedom to your utilization of these spells. And the better you got at utilizing regular combos or utilizing multiple special combination spells, the more satisfying the gameplay was.

WARNING! Don’t listen to negative reviews here or on Metacritic. The game is light years ahead of the first game in almost every area. I’d say PcGamer’s 79/100 rating is about right, although they were complaining about the difficulty of the game too which I don’t necessarily agree with. Well, although initially it was frustrating, after I got the hang of it, I was steamrolling my enemies even at the final fight. It’s actually almost impossible to (permanently) die now because you can resurrect your fairy and you’re pretty much immortal. This also means that the first games infuriating moments of losing your hard-earned staves upon death are solved, because you drop your staff on death and you can pick it up on resurrection. You just need to let go of your anger/fear about dying, and maintain a relaxed, observant mind to easily be able to make accurate snap decisions about what elements to use, what vulnerabilities your opponents likely have. There are tons of clues about it, you just need to let go of your fear of dying and the constant anxiety that makes combat much more difficult than it should be. As I’ve mentioned, death is meaningless now and you are almost guaranteed to die every 10 minutes or so, even if you’re a legendary player, and it’s okay. Or every 20 seconds, if you’re not, and it’s okay too. Relax, and you’ll start improving rapidly.

Nine Parchments
achievements
great pick for achievement-hunters. achievements are interesting, without any unfairness. most of them require using magic attacks in some way (deal XXX damage, attack XXX enemies at once, use beam for XXX seconds, etc), which require either picking a right character, leveling-up in some unorthodox way, or finding a right enemy-spawner. sweet, fine and engaging

Chasing after nine parchments: chaotic but fun
Brief Overview
Nine Parchments is a magical twin-stick shooter which can be played alone or in up to four-person co-op. The game is set in the same universe as the Trine puzzle platformer series and shares the same vibrant surroundings and enchanting atmosphere. Nine Parchments is, however, very different from Trine.

Runers
Summary: Spray n' pray kiting
Multiplayer: 2 local (?)
Completion: 20 hrs
Cards: Yes
Cloud: Yes
Runers is a twin-stick style roguelike. Unlike most roguelikes, this one comes closer to being one. It’s also crazy fast-paced. Being a real-time game, there’s very little opportunity to plan out your moves and attacks. While you can pause the game at any time, the sheer speed and volume of bullets, enemies, hazards, and repositioning effects makes dodging difficult. Add to that a low invulnerability period when hit, and you will find it is very easy to die in this game.

Overview
The concept is really solid. It’s a roguelike dungeon crawler. Similar in style to a twinstick, but you’ve got a handful of buttons to contend with. You pick a starting spell, ez pz. They all suck, so don’t stress it too much. You pick one of 19 blessings, which are passive effects that give minor bonuses or helpful effects for your character, and one of 19 classes, each of which has a unique active ability, varying greatly in type and use.
That’s all fine and good, but the real thing is the spell crafting system. You pick up runes and combiners from enemies as you play, and can create spells from these runes using the combiners. Here is where the depth comes in, with hundreds of possible combinations from all the runes through single, double, and triple combinations. Unfortunately, not all spells are created equally, and some will be more effective than others. Finding these spells combinations is a huge part of the fun, and most of your early hours in the game will be spent testing out rune combinations.

Wizard of Legend
I like this game a lot!
I’ve always been very intrigued by games with wizards, magic, and lots of fun spells, and many games contain things like that, but lately I haven’t been much interested with many games, and feel bored while playing them.
This combines my love for spells and fun magic with fast-paced, hard dungeon crawler, and it’s extremely fun to play!
One of my favorite parts of the game is to save up for an arcana, (the game’s name for spells) then test out it’s effectiveness, special effects, best way of using it, etc. in a dungeon!

THE GOOD:
Starting up was super easy. We only needed one copy of the game so I downloaded it, we all downloaded the app (onto our Galaxy S7 Edges) and connected to my wifi (on 2.4Ghz because my 5Ghz seems to sputter sometimes with everything I try to connect to it), started the game and put in a label, started the app on our phones connected and hit “Start” on the game (on the PC). We waited for only a few brief moments for each player to get their starting dialog and get connected with the other players. It was literally that easy.

pros:
-
The local co-op. A unique opportunity to play the game on one screen with 5 friends. Players are not required to sit at computer or hold a joystick. Each player can take their favorite place in the room and play with their smartphone.
-
The battle. Interesting and intense battles with multiple abilities and friendly fire.
-
Semi-turn-based combat provides time to think over your tactics and at the same time, there is virtually no waiting time for other players or enemies moves.
