    There were dozens of Dragon Ball games, but Xenoverse still managed to surprise me with fresh approach. It’s still primarily a fighting game, but the developers went for many features associated mainly with MMOs. [04/2015, p.56]

    The sequel revived my faith in point’n’click games by proving that we do not have to settle for run-of-the-mill dialogues and flat characters. King Art is a seriously talented studio that could make a game about a snail crossing the street and still make me laugh regularly. [04/2015, p.54]

    I suspect that if I took the ridiculous money needed to buy Raven’s Cry and instead spent it on a crate of pins, chewed them all up, swallowed them, followed up with salt, washed everything down with lemon juice and then excreted, I would have as much fun as I had in the Caribbeans by Reality Pump.

    Attila does for Rome II what Napoleon did for Empire: Total War – it expands the elements that were good, skillfully covers up the shortcomings and presents some ideas for the future. [04/2015, p.50]

    Despite obvious financial limitations the developers bent over backwards to provide us with the best game possible. Revelations 2 does not reach the level of the last three main Resident Evils, but I keep my fingers crossed for it to succeed deservedly, because it seems all these guys need to create a top-notch game is more money.

    I liked Evolve. It devoured 20 hours of my life without my even realizing (unfortunately due to matchmaking issues I spent a substantial part of that time looking at loading screens during attempts to connect to a sensible match). I will never love it though, even if I acknowledge Turtle Rock’s courage in blazing trails, their mastery in AI programming and artistic taste. [04/2015, p.42]

    Red Thread Games obviously looks up to Telltale, but the first episode of Dreamfall Chapters lacks pace and excitement associated with The Walking Dead. [13/2014, p.78]

    A very ambitious game that has much more than just ambition going for it. Immersion and visuals are top notch, parkour was more enjoyable for me than in Assassin’s Creed, and it’s also hard to find equally good and satisfying melee combat anywhere. If only the story was less cliché and developers had more time to polish the game. [03/2014, p.83]

    It looks like a prototype in need of development and moving to a real engine. [03/2014, p.81]

    I could go on for ages pointing out this game’s shortcomings, but what’s the point? It’s a fairly competent shmup, but so underdeveloped, that it’s not worth your time. [03/2014, p.81]

    Despite its obvious low budget I’ve already devoted 60 hours to Warhammer Quest – first on iOS, and now on PC. The atmosphere of the Old World recreated by Rodeo Games does not cease to delight me. [03/2014, p.80]

    It’s a one trick pony, and that trick is moderately amusing and entertaining. [03/2014, p.79]

    It’s barely a game, but if you decide to give it a try, you will not be disappointed, as it offers a lot of choices to make, extensive descriptions to read and some interesting topics to contemplate. [03/2014, p.79]

    It’s a game that does some things really well and other really badly. If you’re willing to endure the latter and you’ve already finished Wastelands 2, you can give Dead State a chance. [03/2014, p.78]

    As a homage to 16-bit games Insanity’s Blade is great, but its shallow and repetitive gameplay will not blow your mind. Don’t waste your time if you’re not into retro. [03/2014, p.75]

    Adventure game – check. Developed by Frenchmen – check. Tells a story about an American – check – teenage girl – check – gifted with paranormal powers – check. Here’s where Beyond: Two Souls and Life is Strange go their separate ways, because the latter is actually good. [03/2014, p.74]

    Has everything required to claim the first place in my private ranking of tower defense games. [03/2014, p.73]

    It carries you over to a drab, sad place and tells a story that doesn’t make sense. Maybe it would be best – both for Ubisoft and players – to just forget about Unity? [03/2014, p.72]

    Despite some nods towards younger generation of gamers it’s still good old Guilty Gear. [03/2014, p.71]

    Simplified gameplay mechanics give away Deadlings’ mobile origin, but it’s not hard to let it slide, because the game is so much fun. [03/2014, p.70]

    One of the best King of Fighters games. Even those who got their fingers burned on KoF XIII might fall in love with a completely different gameplay style of '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition. [03/2014, p.69]

    A decent platformer that you could launch after work to relax if it weren’t for its pompous sad atmosphere and exalted bullshit about suffering and mental illnesses that are being shoved down your throat. [03/2014, p.69]

    If you’re looking for a modern yet traditional RTS other than StarCraft II, you can’t go wrong with Grey Goo. [03/2014, p.68]

    The game lacks some decent content between fights. [03/2014, p.66]

    If we pretend that Battle Arena is not a part of The Witcher franchise and is not spreading its universe too thin, it’s a good mobile MOBA, very simplified though (one basic mode, two small maps, nine characters). [03/2014, p.65]

    Expansion packs should expand, damn it, not reduce. Jokes and dialogues are not funny in Gat out of Hell, satire is off the mark, visuals are ugly, gameplay is crude and the city uninteresting. [03/2014, p.64]
    • CD-Action
    • 56 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Wants to mock gaming clichés and point out popcultural absurdities, but it’s a pathetic attempt that insults player’s intelligence. [03/2014, p.62]
