Abandon all hope, ye who enter the Investigator’s main menu. Everything I get paid for this review will be invested in liquor to help me forget about this game. [08/2016, p.66]- CD-Action

A series of well-designed levels with obstacles synced to the rhythm of a song (yes, just one song). Enjoyable but very basic in terms of gameplay and extremely short (ca. 1 hour). [08/2016, p.65]- CD-Action

The controversy over Postal’s violence has long died out and the game offers absolutely nothing that could appeal to a contemporary gamer. [08/2016, p.64]- CD-Action

Frogwares proved with The Devil’s Daughter that they understand neither Sherlock Holmes nor adventure games and the logic of detective novels. I say we unleash the hound of the Baskervilles on them. [08/2016, p.63]- CD-Action

A brilliant, deep strategy game that offers a lot and at the same time leaves much room for growth, which probable means it will ripen over the years. [08/2016, p.62]- CD-Action

Catalyst is a triumph of form over substance. At first the city looks huge, shiny and perfect but soon turns out to be just a lifeless, empty mockup, where you distinguish the districts mainly by background colors. The character development system feels artificial and redundant. The story and characters are so shallow and badly presented that I quickly lost any interest in them and focused on what the game does quite well – on parkour. [08/2016, p.60]- CD-Action

Everything that was good in the original Dead Island and Riptide (like the combat system and the co-op) is still good in the new versions remastered with the Dying Light engine. Unfortunately everything that was bad (like the writing and repetitiveness) is still bad. [08/2016, p.59]- CD-Action

A low-budget but solid arena shooter that drops superfluous mechanics for the sake of fast-paced gameplay. [08/2016, p.57]- CD-Action

It lasts for 3 hours tops, but it’s an intense adventure that proves that VR might not be completely useless. [08/2016, p.56]- CD-Action

We would have missed nothing at all if Mutants in Manhattan had never peeked out of their shells. The game is mediocre in every aspect, boring and rather ugly. The only advantage I can think of is that it’s only 5 hours long. [08/2016, p.54]- CD-Action

Blizzard proved that it’s still possible to do something fresh in online shooters and helped me rediscover the charms of fragging. [08/2016, p.48]- CD-Action

There’s little content here and gameplay is so simplistic that only hardcore fans set on unlocking Battleborn achievements will play longer than an hour. [07/2016, p.77]- CD-Action

Tycoon usually becomes fun, when it lets go of your hand and gives you some freedom. Disney Magic Kingdom stays overprotective till the end. [07/2016, p.77]- CD-Action

It’s enjoyable enough, but there are so many similar but better puzzle games with much shorter loading times and more precise controls. [07/2016, p.76]- CD-Action

I guess there are some things worse than IS Defense, like Ebola, Donald Trump winning the election or Yoko Ono and Britney Spears performing together. I honestly see no reason to play this game. [07/2016, p.75]- CD-Action

The developers managed to squeeze a lot out of an uncomplicated concept, enough to make Otem’s Defiance truly engaging. Fans of simple arcade games will enjoy it. [07/2016, p.73]- CD-Action

Total War and Warhammer are a match made in heaven and Creative Assembly’s latest release is a dream come true for the aficionados of both franchises. As a fan of Game Workshop’s tabletop original I have waited my whole life for this game. [07/2016, p.70]- CD-Action

Masquerade is a bit like Leslie Nielsen’s comedy movies – silly and childish, but it’s hard to hold back laughter. It’s a pity that the gameplay can’t keep up with the humor, exposing the developers’ tight budget and lack of experience. [07/2016, p.69]- CD-Action

If you’re thinking of buying just one Black Ops III DLC, go for Awakening, which is better as a whole. [07/2016, p.69]- CD-Action

A psychedelic, brilliant whodunit, brimming with even more crazily creative minigames and impossible to forget. [07/2016, p.68]- CD-Action

Basic gameplay mechanics are decent but don’t score points for innovation and the inability to save the game during missions can be infuriating. [07/2016, p.67]- CD-Action

Best twin-stick shooter I have played – fast, varied and enriched with hack’n’slash elements deep enough to make looting and upgrading weapons highly addictive. [07/2016, p.66]- CD-Action

The game is as well-designed and polished as the original Don’t Starve, but of course your reception of Together depends on who you play it with. [07/2016, p.65]- CD-Action

Shipwrecked is fresh both in terms of gameplay mechanics and visuals and although I had more fun with the original Don’t Starve, I’m not planning on abandoning the island. [07/2016, p.64]- CD-Action

The DLC offers all the UEFA EURO contestants, but fails to deliver updated squads and licensed outfits for some of them and adds only one new stadium (Stade de France), forcing you to play tournament matches on fictional stadiums in other countries. [07/2016, p.63]- CD-Action

There’s plenty of better action RPGs out there and if you lean towards survival gameplay, pick up Don’t Starve. In its current form Goliath is simply not good enough to win the battle for you free time. [07/2016, p.62]- CD-Action
