After having played ATS for over a dozen hours I put it aside and returned to Euro Truck Simulator 2. Right now ATS is just a foundation for a game and it will take a couple of DLCs to fill it properly with content. [04/2016, p.60]

Pleasant exploration and interesting turn-based combat are unfortunately counterbalanced by too much backtracking, over-the-top number of fights and not very functional map. [05/2015, p.65]

I tried, really tried to like The Elder Scrolls as a MMORPG, I gave it a fair number of chances. Now I hoped the Morrowind will be a game-changer, but unfortunately it will not convince those who were unable to embrace TESO earlier. [09/2017, p.50]

I can recommend Wizard Wars to all fans of original Magicka but if you’re looking for a MOBA that puts emphasis on tactics, you have to look elsewhere. [07/2015, p.55]

It worked much better as an iOS game than it does on PC. [CD-Action 02/2013, p.69]

Due to continental drift North America moves away from Europe at the rate of about an inch per year, which means the continents are much livelier than the story of Trails of Cold Steel. [04/2016, p.62]

Time travel elements could have been realized better and the levels are uninspired, but YesterMorrow’s biggest problem is that it lacks a feature that would allow it to stand out from a dozen other fantasy-themed platformers. [01/2021, p.34]

The developers cooked up a really pretty open world. Small but full of life. There’s also good sound design, pleasant graphics and... the feeling of deficiency after the end credits. [13/2019, p.45]

Less than two hours of playing time is just right for Abzu’s shallow gameplay. The game offers a hefty dose of “beautiful moments” but fails to make any lasting impact. [10/2016, p.68]

The Reaper of Souls expansion really shook the foundations of Diablo III, giving us a reason to revisit the game and stay for longer. Compared to it Rise of the Necromancer is a disappointing waste of a chance to make something great again. [09/2017, p.61]

When The Unfinished Swan was released back in 2012 on PS3, it was unique. Today, upon its arrival on PC, it’s lost in a sea of much better indie games. [12/2020, p.66]

Code Vein has its heart in the right place but I really wouldn’t want to spend my time playing stuff that have been already done better somewhere else. If a potential sequel finds its own identity, it would be an interesting addition to the genre. [13/2019, p.58]

The only thing Godfall has going for it is its great combat system. Everything else just came along for the ride. [01/2021, p.42]

Right now it looks like an advanced beta but in a couple of months, reinforced by patches and mods, it could be a really good game. [13/2019, p.60]

Lichtspeer is a repetitive one trick pony but still I’m curious what the developers will think of in the sequel (if they ever make one, that is). [13/2016, p.75]

One of those indie games that in theory do everything right but lack a spark that make them memorable. [07/2015, p.65]

The story is decent but lacks a spark. Supporting characters and dialogue are flimsy and uninspired. Shooting is solid – especially the slow-mo moments – but that pretty much exhausts the topic of the core gameplay elements. I have to admit though dual wielding is fun. There are a couple of car chases that were supposed to raise your adrenaline level but their execution is poor. And there are bugs and run-of-the-mill graphics that add to the smell of low budget that hangs over The Cartel. I hope Call of Juarez 4 returns to the Wild West, because it seems that's where Techland feels much more confident. [August 2011, p.42]

Cool graphics are the biggest strength of this modest platformer, because its gameplay is repetitive and essentially primitive. [CD-Action 13/2012, p.79]

I was not unhappy playing Ancient Space, but I don’t feel like playing it again, because at some point during the 15-hours-long campaign, the gameplay got boring. [13/2014, p.68]

Obduction is scant storywise and in contrast to The Witness failed to gradually teach me how to deal with its puzzles, instead forcing me to use the trial and error method. Myst fans, however, should enjoy it. [11/2016, p.46]

A decent Zelda-like game which needs some time to really get going and won’t dazzle you with its beauty. [09/2017, p.73]

F1 2014 is not a bad game, it was built on solid foundations of its predecessors, but it doesn’t offer anything new and is clearly just an appetizer before the next-gen F1 2015. [13/2014, p.71]

Lacks polish and shows obvious signs of cuts, compromises and overall unfavourable circumstances in which the game was made. [01/2014, p.64]

The developers were so fixated on nostalgia that they failed to offer anything to modern gamers. [07/2015, p.72]

The gameplay of this timeless classic hasn’t aged a bit but the game itself deserves a Switch version much, much better than this disappointing, hurried and cheap attempt. [08/2017, p.64]

It can be fun, but only in co-op mode. If you’re planning to play alone, there are much better ways to spend the money. [06/2015, p.55]

The only thing still attractive about RE5 is Sheva Alomar. Everything else – the design, the mechanics, the visuals (it’s a port, not a remaster) – aged to various degrees, but always noticeably. [09/2016, p.63]

Until you get bored with characters and arenas, fun can be had. Updates will decide whether The Showdown Effect stays with us for longer. [CD-Action 05/2013, p.69]
