First encounter with Enki is quite thrilling, but the game ends after half an hour. You can start over with some elements (like item placement) randomly generated, but this randomness is just not random enough. [10/2015, p.67]

Gameplay mechanics are very basic but the most important thing is that they are solid and don't get in the way of enjoying Family Guy's distinctive humour – and the game is full of it. [1/2013, p.47]

Sedna simply does not understand games from which it supposedly draws. [06/2018, p.77]

A mediocre, low budget attempt to give X360 users their own God of War. [July 2012, p.70]

Taxi Chaos is a shameless copy of Crazy Taxi, soulless and developed by people who lacked not only creativity and skill, but also the understanding of what made the original great. [05/2021, p.67]

If it weren’t for the title related to a real submarine and the horrible tragedy of its crew, no one would care about Kursk – and we would have missed absolutely nothing. It’s a dated, terribly boring (both in terms of gameplay and the story), and generally poorly made game. [01/2019, p.54]

I can’t imagine why anyone would play this terrible game and I can’t understand why Gaiman wanted to be associated with it. [Sept 2014, p.63]

If Gothic's evolution is to look like this, we're better off without the next entry in the series. [April 2012, p.75]

Militant is amateurish, looks like a dissected specimen from the PS2 era and offers absolutely nothing that would encourage you to bear with its defects. [11/2016, p.57]

Nothing will save you in this hell of repetition, not even solid shooting mechanics and a large arsenal of weaponry. Fifteen minutes is enough to learn everything about this game, as each new level only brings increase in difficulty, higher enemy congestion and mounting frustration that you threw your money down the drain. [12/2021, p.83]

Instead of a breathtaking war spectacle it offers a half-baked puppet show that just can't fool anybody. [June 2012, p.75]

There are some mildly satisfying moments in Dark, but most of the time you’re stuck between boredom and frustration. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.67]

There’s no story here and the game depletes its potential quickly, so after few sips of Mediterranean decadence comes boredom. [CD-Action 03/2013, p.75]

It's not an appropriate tribute to one of the greatest icons of popular culture. It's a little abomination conceived out of love for money. [CD-Action 13/2012, p.68]

Hitman’s less gifted cousin has a lot of flaws that I need to point out, like a poor story that I didn’t care about, stupid AI painfully reminding that you’re playing a game, and dated visuals. Surprisingly, despite all that I do not regret playing Alekhine’s Gun, because its mechanics are solid and eleven locations are varied and well-designed. [05/2016, p.50]

This is what a game looks like when a couple of guys without a proper financial support or sufficient experience bite off more than they can chew. Quantum Error is a disastrous display of amateurishness, poor and terribly implemented ideas, and, above all, overblown ambitions. Rubbish of the decade.

In a state of stupor induced by gameplay I stopped noticing inbred clones wandering the streets, the sterile town straight from Stephen King’s novels and the hatred for humanity infused into every pixel of this virtual world. [12/2013, p.69]

With its fantastic art direction Inner Chains could have been a great walker. Unfortunately what the developers decided to make is a lame, uninspired, awfully boring first-person shooter that has absolutely nothing to offer in terms of gameplay. [08/2017, p.72]

On paper this was material for a blockbuster but good ideas were buried under incompetence and lack of experience. [May 2012, p.64]

At first I was delighted with the dark atmosphere, but it’s not the story of madness that drove me crazy, but pixel hunting, repetitive objects, weak character models and slow movements of the protagonist. [03/2014, p.73]

A generic top-down shooter that fails to deliver anything novel. [CD-Action 03/2013, p.76]

Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a frustrating, bug-ridden and rather ugly mess. However, it does offer an intriguing narrative and a palpable sense of insecurity, and I wish the same story was retold by another studio with more resources at its disposal. [13/2020, p.47]

It could seem that Painkiller franchise cannot be watered down any further. Wrong! [May 2012, p.60]

Sadly all the words I would like use to concisely sum up Ghostbusters are not admissible in print. [10/2016, p.62]

Around the middle of the campaign Balan Wonderworld suddenly gets its act together and becomes almost enjoyable, but the first half is a discouraging display of awful level design and overall ineptitude. [06/2021, p.40]

This game is a joke, and not a funny one. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is shockingly ugly, awfully designed and annoying in its many inconsistencies. Let’s just forget this happened.

None of its elements is done well enough. The combat system is primitive and slapdash, there’s practically just one enemy type with several skins and the level design based on simple greyish blocks is trivial. [CD-Action 06/2013, p.68]

There’s just not enough cowabunga in this undercooked game. [11/2013, p.84]
