You’ll need just 10-15 minutes to complete 10 free levels, and that is fortunate. [09/2015, p.69]

The story bored me before the actual game even started and then I was forced to explore uninspired, ugly interiors and kill wacky monsters in fights that take forever. [09/2015, p.69]

Uninteresting, shallow story paired with a combat system that was supposed to be tactical but really isn’t. [09/2015, p.69]

If you’re really hungry for a metroidvania but you expect something more than “some indie jam stuff” go for a much better Axiom Verge. [09/2015, p.69]

The only thing that distinguishes this game from other endless runners is Sonic. [09/2015, p.68]

Worth 15 minutes of your time (that’s how short it is) if you enjoy grotesque. [09/2015, p.68]

Especially at the beginning Don’t Starve is ruthlessly addictive and the only thing that saves you from starving to death while plying it is the fact that it also ruthlessly devours device’s battery. [09/2015, p.68]

Taking part in this virtual play was fun, but the story lacks pace (apart from the ending), the visuals are far from stunning and the game could use voice acting. [09/2015, p.67]

Even if it’s not Daedalic’s greatest work, Anna’s Quest is still a strong entry in their catalogue. [09/2015, p.67]

Discordianism is weird but Ossuary is even weirder (but also engaging, unsettling and decently written). [09/2015, p.66]

Despite simple, even primitive puzzles The Silent Age’s gameplay is frustratingly slow and main character’s speed of a bug crawling through tar does not help. [09/2015, p.65]

For such a modest, simple game, developed as a student project and given out for free, it’s surprisingly enjoyable, but let’s be honest – if you play Curse of Mermos, you won’t remember it three months later. [09/2015, p.65]

If you’re not arguing with your friends over whether Naruto would beat Goku and you’re not praying for the fourth season of “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” there’s absolutely no reason for you to care about this really weak fighting game. [09/2015, p.63]

Cosmophony sits somewhere between rhythm games and Tempest, but instead of enemies you have to fight steeply rising difficulty level which becomes tiring in the third stage (out of just five) and absurd in the fourth. What was a bigger problem for me though was that instead of testing your skill and sense of rhythm Cosmophony makes you memorize the obstacles’ placement – it’s the only way to avoid them at breakneck speed. [09/2015, p.63]

Not only Codemasters finally managed to release the game in the first half of the F1 season, and not when it ends, but the game itself has such a good driving model and is so fluent that it blows previous console editions out of the water. On the other hand, unfortunately, F1 2015’s content is very modest, with lack of a career mode being the biggest letdown. [09/2015, p.62]

Do you remember “Top Gear” episodes in which football matches were played using hatchbacks? The same idea is the cornerstone of Rocket League – one of those jewels that do not care for bells and whistles (though it does look great) and Kevin Spacey in the credits, instead focusing on squeezing every last drop of fun out of a simple concept. [09/2015, p.60]

A great example of a game that’s based on simple mechanics but quickly unveils its depth and invites you to tackle problems your way. [09/2015, p.59]

An enjoyable F2P fighting game that’s a bit scant in terms of content and reaches into your wallet as often as possible without crossing the border into the pay-to-win territory. [09/2015, p.58]

It’s so beautiful, cute and charming that even the grimmest death metal fans will go ‘awwww’. If you want to introduce someone to the world of games this gem is hands down the best way to do that. [09/2015, p.57]

Playing Godzilla does not hurt. It probably does not cause diseases or wildfires. I just don’t know if that’s enough of a reason to recommend it. If you’re not the biggest Godzilla fan in the world, steer clear of it and be happy that not all games look like this. [09/2015, p.56]

I really enjoy Lego games by Traveller’s Tales with their charm, humor and pop-cultural references. Minifigures Online however was created by Funcom and you can feel that the Norwegians just don’t understand why TT’s games appeal both to young and older gamers. What’s more, LMO is boring, rather ugly, full of bugs and dubious design choices. [09/2015, p.55]

Triskell Interactive tries to answer what would happen if Anno’s developers decided to go steampunk and do the next installment of their series in hand drawn 2D. The first impression of Lethis is good but the game unveils everything it has to offer too quickly and lacks variety. Still it’s a pretty successful debut that definitely stands out among other indie games. [09/2015, p.54]

Not only is this budget hack’n’slash a quality game, but it also introduces to the genre a small but refreshing novelty – the ability to jump over obstacles and bounce off walls to reach areas inaccessible to typical Diablo slayers. [09/2015, p.53]

The grand finale turned out to be not that grand. In fact, it’s the weakest game of the whole trilogy and definitely not a worthy sequel to the great second episode. [09/2015, p.52]

Her Story met with extremely different reactions among our staff (from “this trivial babble makes no sense at all” to “the story captivated me and is still in my head”). [09/2015, p.49]

It might look like a Gunpoint clone but instead of stealth you have to rely on your swordmanship in turn-based combat sequences. [09/2015, p.49]

Fascinating character design makes every fight a breathtaking spectacle. [09/2015, p.49]

Homesick can be visually dazzling and sounds great, but the elements that should really encourage players to explore its world – story and puzzles – are just not up to par. [09/2015, p.48]
