A real feast for RPG-loving console owners and one of the best games to play in co-op. [13/2015, p.47]

Another Assassin’s Creed game that you can either buy or ignore sight unseen depending on whether you grew tired of the old formula. Some innovations (e.g. the grappling hook) are a welcome addition, some (like two playable characters and their development system) feel forced and not really thought through. The brightest aspect of Syndicate is London, which might be the most spectacular city in the series. [13/2015, p.42]

After initial delight and ten hours of fun Anno 2205 became a bit boring. [13/2015, p.40]

WRC 5 is surprisingly good for a studio’s debut in the rally games genre but it’s pretty obvious that the developer ran out of time and money too fast. [13/2015, p.39]

Yuke’s made some improvements taking the series in the right direction, but do not expect any revolutionary changes, because the most important aspect – the combat system – was only slightly modified. [13/2015, p.38]

It’s basically the same great game we’ve played before but prettier and even more enjoyable. Actually the Tomb Raider series never offered so much fun. [13/2015, p.32]

You spend your petrol on 30 seconds of racing and then wait a couple of hours for your tank to be refilled. “No Limits”? Is the title supposed to be a joke? [12/2015, p.74]

Only intrusive microtransactions could have ruined this great game, but fortunately it’s not the case. [12/2015, p.74]

The biggest problem with Mysteries of the Manor is the increasing necessity to revisit the rooms until you find required objects among randomly generated loot. [12/2015, p.74]

It doesn’t try to be innovative, but neatly adapts some tried-and-true mechanics. [12/2015, p.74]

With every segment I was more and more impressed with designers’ imagination. [12/2015, p.73]

Looks great, uses motion controls and apart from planes lets you choose a dragon. [12/2015, p.73]

Magic Flute stands out from the crowd thanks to its good visuals, wonderful music and well-designed puzzles. [12/2015, p.73]

Despite vast content and high level of polish I actually can’t find any convincing reasons to play it. [12/2015, p.72]

If the developers keep their promise to constantly expand this Diablo-like action RPG, it will stay on my iPad for long. [12/2015, p.72]

Rising Tide didn’t even try to reignite my faded interest in Beyond Earth. [12/2015, p.71]

Simply put, it’s one of the best remasters in history. [12/2015, p.70]

Great visuals, wonderful unique atmosphere, Icelandic voice-overs and an opportunity to familiarize yourself with some Norse mythology. I highly recommend this gem! [12/2015, p.69]

This very simple jRPG is the funniest game I have ever played. [12/2015, p.68]

Despite technical issues and weak story I found Armikrog really engaging. [12/2015, p.66]

Storytelling in 80 Days is so rich and polished that this adventure becomes your own. [12/2015, p.65]

The game failed to win me over because its simplicity was taken too far. [12/2015, p.64]

In comparison to Guitar Hero Live the new Rock Band game is way too conservative. There’s a certain tradition in the music business: when a performer grows a beer belly and can’t climb to the top of the charts anymore, you send him to tour Japan, so he can grab some more money from a bit more loyal local fans. After seeing Rock Band’s current shape all I can say to it is “sayonara”. [12/2015, p.63]

After the third expansion Destiny is the same “random loot generator” it has always been, just with some more story in between. [12/2015, p.62]

The expansion is not revolutionary in any way, but it makes Cities: Skylines an even more complete city builder. [12/2015, p.61]

An interesting and beautiful, but also slow and repetitive board game. [12/2015, p.60]

I had an impression that the developers intentionally butchered Tony Hawk’s classic formula in every way imaginable. For the last couple of years Activision has been trying hard to finish this series off and it seems it finally succeeded. [12/2015, p.58]

I was disappointed that the HD Edition did not come with some new content. It’s a shame that this pleasant, relaxing adventure last only two hours, because I really grew fond of Leo. [12/2015, p.57]
