    You can expect a lot of charming dialogue, easy puzzles, amazing soundtrack and satisfying combat. Unfortunately you will be forced to battle not only your enemies but also terrible camera. [01/2017, p.75]

    The sequel does everything better than the original game. [01/2017, p.75]

    Perfectly tuned difficulty curve, achievements, unique challenges, over 300 puzzles and gameplay model ideal for sessions that last either 5 minutes or 3 hours. [01/2017, p.75]

    The best mobile racing game since the last Real Racing. [01/2017, p.75]

    A mediocre Phoenix Wright wannabe with a story resembling poor police documentaries/reality shows on TV. [01/2017, p.74]

    Spirit of Justice does little to refresh the series but it neatly rounds up ideas from previous Phoenix Wright games. [01/2017, p.74]

    Nintendo celebrates Pokémon’s 20th birthday in the best possible way – with a game that will please almost everyone, from hardcore fans of the series to newbies who only played Pokémon Go. [01/2017, p.72]

    Despite some major issues (e.g. single player campaign is disappointingly easy and AI desperately needs improvements) the game is still wonderful. It makes up for its shortcomings with its world, exploration, atmosphere of grand adventure, loads of secrets, online battles and most of all with its lasting charm. [01/2017, p.72]

    Discovering new additions is fun, but it does not last long, because the game gets repetitive quickly. [01/2017, p.71]

    As in most roguelike games luck plays a large part in Rogue Stormers. It adds addictive unpredictability but coupled with permadeath may also cause outbursts of fury. I couldn’t stay mad at this game for long though. Actually I feel like playing it right now. [01/2017, p.71]

    It’s a solid game, but tactical turn-based RPGs are generally in good shape lately and it’s not hard to find one that offers not only good combat, but also an immersive story which DR lacks. [01/2017, p.70]

    Planet Coaster is almost perfect (it really is on par with Theme Park and RollerCoaster Tycoon) and every forthcoming tycoon game will be measured against it. [01/2017, p.68]

    Motorsport Manager could definitely use FIA’s license and some polishing here and there but it achieves the goal of every management game – it lets you write your own success story. [01/2017, p.66]

    At its roots Renoir is a Murdered: Soul Suspect rip-off and a badly executed one. The puzzles are repetitive, controls suck, the story is shallow and the game is annoyingly unresponsive. [01/2017, p.65]

    The Last Guardian is definitely not to everyone’s liking, but everyone should play it at least for a moment, because it is an extraordinary game. [01/2017, p.62]

    Candle’s got a lot going for it – beautiful visuals, varied puzzles and a decent level of difficulty. On the other hand controls can be annoying and distinct artistic style resembling living paintings sometimes makes it hard to distinguish elements on screen. [01/2017, p.61]

    After I got used to Beholder’s interesting setting and thick atmosphere of hopelessness I got bored with the game quickly. [01/2017, p.61]

    There’s a lot going on in Shadow Tactics, the scenarios are really well designed and I enjoyed the game immensely till the end. The only thing I can accuse it of is being too conservative in terms of characters – I wouldn’t mind some more creativity in this department. [01/2017, p.60]

    I can imagine old school purists getting fussy about this new incarnation of King’ Quest, but I really enjoyed it. This is how episodic adventure games should be done. [01/2017, p.59]

    Despite all the simplifications (e.g. plants need just a couple of days to grow) there’s something addictive about FS17 that makes you switch off your thinking and just farm, farm, farm. [01/2017, p.59]

    Young developers within Obsidian finally got a chance to do something on their own and want to do things differently. While the world they portrayed is fresh and original, combat gets stale and accessibility comes at a price of the game being shallower than old school RPGs. [01/2017, p.56]

    In the latest edition of The Best Game in History: Don’t Even Argue the developers continue to lower the barrier to entry, so less experienced players can grasp His Majesty’s vastness more easily. That’s great, but as a veteran player I expected some more substantial changes (e.g. revamped tactical system or a new take on press conferences). [01/2017, p.54]

    A fast action game that looks great and is very satisfying in small doses but in long term annoyed me with repetitiveness and wore me down with grind. And where’s the co-op?! [01/2017, p.52]

    Survival is like a game within a game, a total conversion that turns gameplay upside down and refreshes a worn-out formula. Well done, Massive! [01/2017, p.51]

    Kopanito is a nice little thing but only makes sense as a simple, instantly accessible party game. After a dozen matches against the AI I saw no reason to keep playing, because I had seen everything this game has to offer. [01/2017, p.51]

    It won’t beat The Witcher 3, replace Baldur’s Gate or overshadow Divinity: Original Sin, but it does offer 10 hours of solid, straightforward RPG fun with a strong emphasis on tactical combat. [01/2017, p.50]

    Despite Eagle Flight’s scanty content and the fact that its visuals are just okay, it was my most enjoyable VR experience to date. [01/2017, p.49]

    I would compare Silence to The Night of the Rabbit or Harvey’s New Eyes, which means it’s decent but lacks quite a bit to be superb. [01/2017, p.48]

    The remastered edition of a brilliantly designed and masterfully executed action adventure game looks and feels really good on new platforms. [01/2017, p.47]

    If it were a book it would be missing its first chapter and every other page. The game’s story is a chaotic patchwork of ideas collected over the years and characters who appear out of the blue and disappear without a word of explanation. On the other hand it’s the first game to imitate road movies so well. The journey has a very satisfying pace, friendship between main characters is depicted splendidly, the views are spectacular and there’s a lot of optional content. [01/2017, p.44]
