    It turns out that not just the first time with Richard La Ruina is painful. [11/2018, p.85]

    The only positive thing I can write about Husk is that its soundtrack is decent. [04/2017, p.58]

    It offers enough content to get you occupied for dozens of hours, but what’s the point if it’s the most boring game in years? [02/2015, p.49]

    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.

    Yet another sorry first-person walker with a convoluted, rubbish story pretending to be something deep and valuable. [02/2015, p.53]

    Lacks in every possible way and looks like an alpha version in need of two more years of development. [08/2015, p.57]

    Land of War deserves a small praise for its decent soundtrack, but other than that it’s a disaster, an awfully generic, ill-designed, half-baked shooter that can’t compete with 20-year-old classics. It actually looks like an unintended, distasteful parody of the horrible events of September 1939. [09/2021, p.68]

    Tryst is a bad joke, a clickfest designed probably with eSports in mind, but so abysmal that no one will bother with it. [CD-Action 13/2012, p.75]

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

    Five years after original launch the developers publish the same game, adding new microtransactions and cutting content. Defiance 2050 is an example of business practices that should be firmly defied. [13/2018, p.87]

    Playing Die pig die is roughly as enjoyable as using portable toilets on the third day of a huge music festival. [08/2018, p.87]

    There are some outstanding stealth games like Metal Gear Solid 2. There are some very good ones like Deus Ex: Human Revolution. There are some decent ones like the new Thief. There are some weak ones like The Dark. And then there’s Neon Struck. [07/2015, p.65]

    Tamarin reeks of low budget and complete lack of creativity. How is it even possible that people who once worked at Rare (where they made Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country, among others) developed such a sad, awful mess? [12/2020, p.73]

    The audaciously anachronistic twin-stick shooter doesn’t cut any corners in balancing on the edge of tastelessness. The developers went all the way – in this textbook crap of a game everything is bad. [13/2019, p.91]

    The title sums the game up pretty accurately. It seems the developers didn’t know why they are making this game and how to make it. [01/2014, p.68]

    A great example of an eyesore spit out by indie devs convinced that only the story matters. The worst part is that they had no idea how to write the story to avoid it being a cliché running with the pack of sad, moving indie games. [08/2014, p.69]

    Its every potentially promising element was executed much better in other games. [September 2012, p.79]

    A good idea flickers faintly somewhere deep, deep inside Fly Simulator, but that’s the nicest thing I can say about this game. [10/2017, p.74]

    The last time I saw such a bad game was... damn, I don't even remember when it was. It's boring, ugly, suffers of bad programming and violates your ears with abysmal music. [October, p.80]

    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.

    Underworld Ascendant is a disgraceful mess in terms of both design and execution. [01/2019, p.85]

    Levels put together from two sets of assets would be awful 30 years ago, chiptune music is worse than in most keygens and sadistic difficulty level is achieved in predictable ways. So does 2 Ninjas 1 Cup introduce anything new to the genre? Yes. Tons of pitiful jokes about defecating. [04/2017, p.71]

    First I struggled to even launch the game, as it did a lot to discourage me (Blue Screens of Death included). Later I wished I had taken a hint and just walked away, because Tyler: Model 005 was not worth the effort. It’s not worth any effort, actually, as it does pretty much everything wrong – it is ugly, platforming mechanics are botched, combat is primitive, there’s hardly any narrative but bugs are aplenty.

    They said: ‘It’s the worst game of 2018. Don’t play it, just watch it on YouTube’. I didn’t listen. And I should have. [13/2018, p.86]

    It’s been ages since I’ve seen a shooter so awful. Ridiculous physics, horrible animations, practically non-existent enemy AI, and guns lacking a punch are just some of the remake’s transgressions. Believe me, it’s a really, really bad game. [01/2021, p.81]

    It looks like an early prototype of a PS2 game. Mentioning Unearthed and Uncharted in one sentence is like comparing a preschool kiddie bike to Harley Sportster. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.72]

    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]
