    Puzzles are quite enjoyable, although detached from the story, but the characters are soulless blockheads and the interface is horribly unresponsive. Sometimes you have to click a couple of times for the game to notice it. [03/2014, p.62]

    The game itself is wonderful, still one of the best PC titles, but the HD Edition is very disappointing. Redrawing the game in higher resolution is not enough, especially that expansions are not included and program’s stability leaves much to be desired. [03/2014, p.60]

    Every time I recall my favourite scenes from Grim Fandango I’m flabbergasted by how much life the developers breathed into their story about the land of the dead. It’s just throbbing with energy and creativity and it’s one of the most spectacular games I’ve ever come across. [03/2014, p.60]

    If you’re looking for a linear, cinematic experience, it’s not a game for you, but if you value freedom in approaching the challenge and find joy in tackling it in different ways to see what happens, Ground Zeroes is a must-have for you. Especially that the PC port’s quality is superb. [02/2015, p.67]

    A great game both for those who like to polish their tactics for hours and those who just want some fun in a spare moment. [02/2015, p.66]

    This game is like a student who partied instead of studying but during the exam improvises so cleverly that the examiner just can’t find the strength to fail him. Shadows has some cool ideas and is very enjoyable but it’s surprising how it stumbles on some really basic issues. [02/2015, p.64]

    Skillfully designed difficulty curve and multitude of challenges make very enjoyable time spent with The Talos Principle fly by. [02/2015, p.63]

    Lone Wolf is more than just a computer adaptation of popular gamebooks – it’s actually a real RPG with character development, crafting and looting, just with tons of text. [02/2015, p.62]

    It would not be easy to find another game that offers so much content. [02/2015, p.61]

    Wherever you turn you see evidence that it’s a mobile game ported to PC – it’s sluggish, not very exciting, the visuals are dated and the interface should have been completely redone to fit mouse instead of touchscreen. [02/2015, p.61]

    The legend returns after thirty years and it was so worth the wait! Freedom is still the most beautiful thing in Elite. You can reach every star you see in the night sky and do pretty much whatever you wish to earn a living – trade, smuggle, complete missions, steal from others, blow pirates to pieces, harvest resources from asteroids.

    It’s a nice change to save people instead of killing them but Emergency 5’s repetitive, buggy gameplay just doesn’t cut it. [02/2015, p.57]

    Final Stand offers four decent winter maps and some cool stuff to unlock, but I wish it had something surprising. [02/2015, p.57]

    It’s more of a LittleBigPlanet than a new Minecraft. It’s fun and cute, but because it’s neither a really powerful editor nor a full-fledged game, I don’t think it will find many admirers. [02/2015, p.56]

    MXGP’s realism might be valuable for motocross connoisseurs, but will deter anyone who just wants to have some fun in the dirt. [02/2015, p.55]

    I strongly urge you to give Scrolls a chance, especially that there’s a free demo available and the full game costs next to nothing. [02/2015, p.54]

    Yet another sorry first-person walker with a convoluted, rubbish story pretending to be something deep and valuable. [02/2015, p.53]

    Those who want to relive PS2 days might pick this up, but the rest will probably be put off by these oldies. [02/2015, p.53]

    Differences between beta version and the final game are close to none, which means that the career mode – the heart of every racing game – is not even a prototype, it’s a prosthesis. Driving model is excellent though and the tracks were meticulously recreated with laser scanning. Along with the support for the modding community it lets me believe that Assetto Corsa might become a brilliant game in the future. [02/2015, p.52]

    Designers’ imagination seems to be unlimited and even if the quality of levels is uneven and their difficulty seems random, there’s so much fun in Geometry Wars 3. [02/2015, p.49]

    It offers enough content to get you occupied for dozens of hours, but what’s the point if it’s the most boring game in years? [02/2015, p.49]

    An extreme first person platformer designed very skillfully. Every time I died – and I died 343 times on the last level alone – I needed to try again. There’s something in Deadcore that makes you crawl back for more. [02/2015, p.48]

    A really decent point’n’click game, but I would appreciate higher difficulty level and more inventive mini-games. [01/2015, p.83]

    More of the same yet again, but the developers’ obvious love for the DC Universe easily spreads even to someone who’s not into comic books very much. [01/2015, p.82]

    It might not be a game to remember for years, but the great PvP mode is worth checking out (especially that Star Conflict is free). [01/2015, p.81]

    Animated breasts are cool for a while, but after a couple hours the gameplay became monotonous and the sounds started to annoy me. [01/2015, p.81]

    Without Activision at the helm and its policy on licensed games – done too quickly and too cheap – it could have been an epic adventure. [01/2015, p.80]

    The series finally moved forward and stopped looking like a relict. WWE 2K15 is not overflowing with changes, but they are there and are most welcome. [01/2015, p.79]
