At first glance Sol Trader looks really impressive with its huge living galaxy, but its depth is just an illusion. [08/2016, p.71]

One big escort mission where toying with laughable AI becomes a game in a game. [08/2016, p.68]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

If I had to choose just one game to play for the rest of my life, it would be Melty Blood. [07/2016, p.74]

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]

If you value single player experience above all, Sapienza will leave you dissatisfied. [07/2016, p.73]

Michonne is just a shadow of the previous The Walking Dead games in terms of both gameplay and story. [07/2016, p.72]

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]

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]

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]

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

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]

Shallow, boring and ugly as sin. [07/2016, p.67]

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]
