A humorous, easy to pick up kingdom simulator inspired by... Tinder. [11/2016, p.71]

The studio behind Slender: The Arrival tried to combine Mirror’s Edge with a first person shooter and inject it with Ori and the Blind Forest’s atmosphere, but only managed to prove that it’s often better to focus on one thing and get it right. [11/2016, p.70]

Maybe I was spoiled by Civilization, but Master of Orion struck me as scant in terms of bells and whistles. It also doesn’t look and doesn’t sound particularly good, but transparent rules, well-designed interface and variety of paths to victory make it a very reasonable proposal for the fans of classic 4X games. [11/2016, p.68]

Distinct visual style was the reason I noticed Winter Novel and sadly turned out to be the only thing worth mentioning. [11/2016, p.67]

At its core 7 Mages is a really decent dungeon crawler but it was ported from mobile devices sloppily, to say the least. [11/2016, p.67]

In comparison to beautiful, fluid, rich Forza Motorsport 6 Assetto Corsa seems amateurish and I see no point in wasting time on looking for its alleged awesomeness when every platform offers at least one better racing game. [11/2016, p.66]

If you worry you’ll get stuck because of all the hacking (done by typing in commands), rest assured that Quadrilateral Cowboy turns it into pure pleasure. [11/2016, p.65]

Grow Home’s sequel is still charming, enjoyable and cute as a button, but increasing its scale was completely unnecessary. [11/2016, p.64]

Due to its offensive simplicity and repetitiveness Champions of Anteria looks more like some mobile bull than a real strategy game. [11/2016, p.62]

A poorly written, ugly interactive crime movie that fails to even properly imitate freedom of choice and actions. [11/2016, p.61]

It’s the best Worms game in recent years, maybe even the best ever. It goes beyond rehashing fun from previous renditions and adds some cool new weapons and ideas. [11/2016, p.60]

Mocap team, the dancer and the choreographer did a great job, and it’s a pity their effort was wasted on such a mediocre game. [11/2016, p.58]

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]

How is it possible that Just Cause 3 DLCs are so bland and suck so much?! [11/2016, p.57]

It’s a very poor strategy game and I can’t recommend it even to the most enthusiastic fans of the genre. [11/2016, p.56]

Livelock is a case of a one-evening game: you launch it, annihilate hordes of enemies, kick the last boss’ butt and then you forget about it all. It will not be a life changing evening, but nonetheless a pleasant one. [11/2016, p.54]

A fairly enjoyable tribute to the ancestors of modern computer role-playing, but not deep and varied enough to keep me playing longer than I needed to without the impression that I’m wasting my time. [11/2016, p.53]

At last F1 is a game it should have always been – a feast for both hardcore Formula 1 fans who expect a proper simulation and those who want to pick up such game for the first time. It’s unbelievable that Codemasters’ series needed six years to reach the level of MicroProse’s unforgettable Grand Prix 4. [11/2016, p.52]

Even if the The Turing Test sometimes wanders into the realm of clichés in terms of both gameplay and the story, the developers tackled the subject of artificial intelligence really well and created an engaging game. [11/2016, p.50]

An interesting and well-executed concept sometimes held back by frustrating controls. [11/2016, p.48]

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]

Legion took me back to the times of World of Warcraft’s greatest splendor, to the era of The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. It miraculously revived a game that was already dead to me. [11/2016, p.44]

An abominable turd made to squeeze some money out of Katamari Damacy fans. [10/2016, p.71]

LotB drips with Maiden “mythology”, looks great and offers a decent gameplay, but becomes repetitive too fast and relies on grinding too much. [10/2016, p.71]

Generations is a sort of a greatest hits compilation that will benefit newcomers the most. [10/2016, p.70]

It’s actually a perfect smartphone game, but on 3DS it doesn’t attack you with ads, microtransactions and other annoyances associated with the free-to-play model. [10/2016, p.70]

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]

Every level of EDF is like a mix of Omaha Beach, Pearl Harbor, Thermopylae and Helm’s Deep. Yes, the visuals might be laughable, but it’s the price for the enormous scale of battles. [10/2016, p.67]
