The idea behind Salary Man Escape is interesting and the puzzles are well crafted, but the graphical design of the game is bland and boring and the music awful. But, overall, it’s a decent puzzle game that will keep you squeezing your mind for a few hours.

The "original sin" of The Order: 1886 is that it never manages to open up and share its wonderful world with the player.

Alone in the Dark doesn't try to offer anything more than a typical survival horror experience. However, this turns out to be part of its charm, providing more or less a nostalgic experience that would make any fan of the genre to reminisce about the golden, PS2 era of survival horrors.

With a brief runtime of no more than three hours, minimal gameplay, and problematic voice-overs, Once Alive is difficult to recommend. However, the art direction and visual quality are commendable achievements, especially considering it was made from a solo developer.

The changes and problems Rearmed 2 had during its development cycle are obvious in the final game. Some level design flaws, borings boss fights and an often problematic gameplay, will probably let down even the most loyal of the Bionic Commando franchise's fans.

Yet again Milestone was not able to deliver a solid, rallying experience. WRC 4 has some great moments, but they are not enough to save an otherwise dated racer.

Plagued with many problems and a lot of questionable design choices, Battlefield 2042 is not what fans of the franchise are used to get by DICE. We look forward to many changes and optimizations so that the game will truly deliver what was initially promised.

A game that is set in a brilliant setting, and starring a townful of colorful characters, albeit with so many information and details that will often keep players guessing. It’s a game with heart, though the players need to go through many layers of Koch’s crispy bacon before uncovering its true strengths and merits.

With nothing really new to add, Rainbow Studios published a game that is fun, but can't really deliver anything memorable. It's ideal mostly for newcomers to the franchise.

Warmind is by far a better expansion than the previous one but, like its predecessor, the content it provides is not enough to bring back the lost player base. It has some strong points in the form of Escalation Protocol, Collectibles and a new Raid Lair, but soon enough the players will run out of incentives to play again. Both the base game and the expansion lack in meaningful replayability and Warmind does little to nothing to address this issue.

It’s what we define as a guilty pleasure but a rather pernicious one. It is extremely simplistic with a rudimentary crafting and looting system, which on the same time is complex enough to hook you in for some hours without even noticing.

When it comes down to the quality of the port, these are arguably the best versions available. But no matter how high the production value is, or how flawless the port is, it's still a port of a game made for mobile devices, and at a much, much higher price than what we're used.

The repetitive levels and the complete absence of a decent story are balanced by the great challenge and some clever puzzles you'll find in this unique puzzle-platofmer.

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 continues to amaze with its wonderful story, its vibrant world and its classic yet fresh fantasy setting.

While it's ideal for fans of the franchise, the absence of the second game and some dated mechanics in the fighting system are serious cons.

Ankama Play managed to create a colorful setting, filled with wonderfully designed characters. Unfortunately, the lack of information concerning this setting, along with the repetitive nature of the gameplay mechanics, lower Islands of Wakfu's overall value.

More of a "create your content" rather than a "create your content and play" game. Granted, it's entertaining, but it is obvious that ModNation for Vita is a rushed product.

It really is just a "mixed bag" of a game because it doesn't know to which audience it refers to. It is never truly casual and certainly not a simulation game. As a result almost no one will truly be satisfied with what Kylotonn delivered.

Agents of Mayhem tries and in parts succeeds in reminding us of the golden days of our childhood. Cartoons, evil geniuses, good guys, stylish humor (mostly hit-or-miss) and, of course, tons of pure, entertaining action. The variety between the well-designed Agents is what truly makes the game shine, and it’s a shame that the open world of Seoul is so repetitive and, despite the many colors and explosions, dull. It basically emulates every part of a classic “mediocre open-world game”.

Warsaw is a compelling turn-based RPG offering a deep and well thought battle gameplay, while severely lacking in terms of storytelling and lore. A newcomer may face difficulties due to the punishing nature of this roguelite game, but we never felt it was cheap or overwhelming. The similarities with Darkest Dungeon are obvious, yet it still manages to deliver something fresh and distinctive.

A charming adventure/ puzzle game that suffers from the "DLC syndrome", repetition and some major bugs.

Destruction AllStars is a fun multiplayer game, but the lack of content and some questionable monetization decisions prevent us from recommending it, especially if we consider that it is a full-priced game. On the other hand, as a free PS Plus game it makes perfect sense, and we hope that Sony makes it a permanent addition to the PS Plus Collection.

With its simplicity and fun factor as its two strong points Chimparty is a game ideal for some great family gaming (especially in the upcoming holiday season).

Tiebreak has the potential to become an enticing game for tennis fans, thanks to its large roster of players, official tournaments and events as well as the well-designed Djokovic Challenges mode. However, its lackluster career mode, mediocre A.I. and overall uninspired presentation keeps it from truly shine.

It wasn't that good a game when it was first released as a PS Vita exclusive and it didn't get any better now. Liberation is one of the worst moments in the Assassin's franchise that only manages to send you running back to Black Flag.

Space out one of the voice actors, and Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock is quite the atmospheric experience, with an interesting (albeit cut-short story), detailed visuals and pleasant flow in its gameplay.

Its retro-style gameplay may be a bit too simplistic for its own good, but, nevertheless, Dex manages to depict a detailed cyberpunk environment and tell a well-written story.

The changes and problems Rearmed 2 had during its development cycle are obvious in the final game. Some level design flaws, borings boss fights and an often problematic gameplay, will probably let down even the most loyal of the Bionic Commando franchise's fans.

It's not only a decent game or a decent remaster of an old game, but a great chance for younger gamers to experience a design in gaming that is mostly absent these days.

This is a very basic collection of some very good 8bit games, but with no museum unlockables, no effort to offer anything more that the most basic package and rudely broken in two parts so that it can generate more revenue. The Museum series from Namco needs to grow up and start treating its customers with more care and respect, otherwise few people will consider revisiting this museum.

A decent clone of Zuma. Plain and simple.

A surreal horror game sounds like a good idea on paper but the predictability of the scenes and the atrocious & nauseating camera movement makes this game an dull, discomforting experience.

As its name implies this is an insane arcade racer that offers a kind of gameplay not so common these days. Flatout 4 is fun, crazy and enjoyable, albeit a bit repetitive in areas.

An interesting but quite short visual novel that acts as a nice introduction to the PnP Werewolf: The Apocalypse.

All in all, Lost Soul Aside is a thoroughly mediocre experience with little to redeem it. The combat lacks impact, boss fights devolve into button mashing, and the story comes off as a poor man’s Final Fantasy.

Milestone fails, yet again, to deliver a decent WRC gaming experience.

Malicious Fallen is a game that inherits all the negative elements from its predecessors, which means that what we get is a game that is repetitive, shallow and all-around lukewarm.

Even though we loved the original game, this dlc is bland compared to the original levels and way too short to justify even a fraction of its price tag.

Firewall Ultra have some noticeable issues concerning players' progression and matchmaking but, with the proper support from its developers, it has the potential to become an excellent multiplayer FPS for PSVR.

The anime that this game is based upon may not be as popular as other Japanese animation, but Sanctuary Battle makes a decent effort to keep up with the true spirit of Kurumada's original vision. The fighting system is great, the art direction beautiful and the overall experience can be rewarding even for those who are not acquainted with the manga/ anime.

The next-gen debut of the beloved Worms by Team 17 can be fun especially if you try the multiplayer modes. Besides that there's nothing here that you haven't seen or played before.

High Moon Studio pulled it of thanks to the game’s incredible humor and with a little help from Daniel Way and Nolan North. Its gameplay mechanics and visuals our out of date, but any Deadpool fan will certainly be able to ignore them.

Releasing a “viral pandemic” game in this timeframe would normally be an instant success. But the good sets and a very solid camera work are not enough to hide neither the very poor acting of most characters, nor the disappointingly shallow and lackluster choices of this title. A release straight to Netflix would probably work better, both for the game and for the investment from the side of the player.

Definitely not a good sample of what JRPGs and Japanese dungeon crawlers can offer.

Spark Unlimited tried something different with Lost Planet 3, but failed to create an immersing world where the player truly cares about the story, and on top of that, the game suffers from many technical issues.

Plagued by a problematic camera that just can’t keep up with the action and lots of balance issues, Shinobi Striker is not the multiplayer Naruto game we’ve been waiting for.

With nothing really new to add, Rainbow Studios published a game that is fun, but can't really deliver anything memorable. It's ideal mostly for newcomers to the franchise.

The creators of Lust from Beyond had a quite interesting vision with this unique erotic-horror adventure, that sadly falls flat due to an obsolete game design and many technical problems.

A game ideal for kids that showcases the gameplay made possible by the Move controller. Too bad it's way too short and repetitive.

Siren's Rest functions as a brief epilogue to Still Wakes the Deep, a short story of sorts, with the interesting twist of being set entirely underwater. Fans of the original will no doubt enjoy returning to Beira D, but it ultimately offers little new in terms of lore or character development.

A decent game that offers a pleasant combat system and satisfying duration.

The Last Case of John Morley is a passable narrative noir experience, supported by an engaging story and well-crafted environments. Its brief runtime will likely hold your attention, though it never offers anything particularly memorable in its overall story or especially deep in its NPC interactions. Not great, not terrible, as the modern saying goes.

Godfall's beautiful visuals, great art design and good combat mechanics can’t hide its shortcomings. With repetitive missions, few locations, lack of content, almost non-existent story, boring characters and uninteresting loot, Godfall might keep you busy for a few hours before moving on to something better.

It may have the prospects to become a great MMO racer, but at the moment The Crew is not able to deliver ever a fragment of what Reflections promised it would offer with this racer.

Although games that old and classic are the first that should be remastered, editions so poorly worked on don’t help anyone. Neither the gamers nor the game itself.

An enjoyable and quite clever "zombie game" that will keep you good company while waiting for the bus.

Earthfall doesn't try in the slightest to differentiate itself from Left 4 Dead, feeling in the end like a "fan-made" mode. There is fun to be had when played with friends, just devoid of anything we haven't seen before (done better).

The new Daymare game may be an actual step up from its predecessor although that doesn't say much, since it goes from abysmal to favorably mediocre. However, the developers at least managed to create a survival horror that could be defined as "guilty pleasure".

Brutal combat and simple mechanics are the “bane and the boon” of this Action/ Hack 'n' Slash game. Impressive in the beginning, grows weary, though, after some playtime, following Marius Titus’ journey for retribution. The stunning depiction of some territories of the ancient Roman Empire make it an eye candy and the extremely interesting multiplayer co-op feature adds extra play hours, making it a worthy buy.

It can be fun and addictive at times, but it came out almost the same time as LittleBigPlanet Karting and Sonic Racing Transformed which are far superior than Codies' latest.

Unfortunately, Payday 3 is not the sequel that fans of the series where expecting. Its content is lacking but, more importantly, the shooting is weak and the AI is especially problematic.

Bringing a “Disney Princess” art style to a horror-inspired game is certainly an intriguing idea, and Bye Sweet Carole almost pulls it off thanks to its convincing aesthetic and well-written mystery. However, its puzzles are often overly simplistic and seem to be included mainly to extend the longevity of the game artificially, while the character controls aren’t as smooth as they could be.

It may not be as famous as the Worms franchise, but Team 17's HD edition of the classic game from the 1990s is as great and addictive as it always has been.

With a great story and an engaging cast of characters, it feels a bit frustrating that the game falls so short on so many other elements like its gameplay, animation, controls, voice acting, pacing etc.

Besides the nostalgia that can bring up to the ones that have played the original version, and a decent story, the remake/ remaster of Outcast is full of technical issues and a design that hasn’t aged well at all.

So much talk around 2015’s reboot of the franchise, but still the Need for Speed series seems to be going nowhere specifically. For every step forward, Payback takes two steps back and it’s pretty obvious how. A mediocre story, poor customization choices, a controversial and completely out of place - at best – incorporation of Cards and Loot mechanisms ruin a great racing game that hides underneath.

Itorah may be a good-looking game, with hand-crafted visuals, but under the nice exterior there is only a dull combat system and a level design that’s extremely derivative.

This is a very basic collection of some very good 8bit games, but with no museum unlockables, no effort to offer anything more that the most basic package and rudely broken in two parts so that it can generate more revenue. The Museum series from Namco needs to grow up and start treating its customers with more care and respect, otherwise few people will consider revisiting this museum.

Unfortunately, the new Hellboy game is almost devoid of anything of value, with the exception of the nice-looking cel-shaded graphics. Alas, the gameplay is extremely repetitive and simplistic, the challenge is almost non-existent and the environments, as well as the enemies, are seriously lacking in variety.

Instead of being inspired by the groundbreaking work of modern classics like Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: OS, Sword Coast Legends fumbles by trusting its gameplay mechanics to dumbed down hack & slash gameplay inspired by old MMOs.

It's well written story and charming visuals can't hide the fact that most of the time Fable: The Journey is quite unplayable thus breaking the experience.

Marvel's iconic character makes a decent entry in videogames. There was potential here, but as with most movie tie-ins, the result looks rushed and unpolished.

If you've never owned a previous version of SBK and you are into racing motorcycles, then you should really consider getting this one. On the other hand, gamers who tried SBK 11, won't find anything particularly new here.

More of an "encyclopedia of car service" than a game. Still, it has its good moments.

The interesting and well crafted story of this sci-fi adventure can’t compensate for the awful camera, bad design and poor overall execution.

Stunningly beautiful to watch, rather boring to play.

A funny little game, ideal for playing with friends watching you and having lots of laughs.

This new co-op offering from Bethesda may be quite flawless from a technical standpoint but, unfortunately, its characters are too shallow to care for and the action is extremely repetitious and uninspired to retain our interest for more than a few hours, even when playing with a friend.

A fun arcade take on the WWE world that is plagued by repetitive gameplay and way too many microtransactions.

The Xbox 360 version of this western RPG suffers from all the syndromes these games have when they find their way onto consoles. Bugs, glitches and stubborn choices by the developers that can't seem to understand the nature of console gaming too well.

Marvel's iconic character makes a decent entry in videogames. There was potential here, but as with most movie tie-ins, the result looks rushed and unpolished.

As an homage to the Persona series, The Caligula Effect: Overdose tries to utilize the same mechanics and mannerisms that made the Persona games unique, yet fails to improve over its past shadow. While it does improve many aspects, including a fantastic battle system, it still struggles to improve its storytelling and interaction mechanisms, which ultimately fail to engage players to the dark secrets of the human soul. Not a bad effort, but definitely with room to improve.

The charmingly nostalgic visuals can only do so much to hold your interest in Dead Dragon. Its mobile roots are all too evident, in the presence of a "convenient" store, a clunky UI, and the grind-heavy progression.

Hirogami may be a bit shallow in its combat and slightly repetitive in platforming, but its beautiful aesthetics and imaginative character transformations more than make up for these shortcomings.

It is mind boggling how the team behind such a gem like the Book of Unwritten Tales, could take a great series like Black Mirror and release such a poorly designed game. Clunky controls, poor animation, short length, frustratingly many loading screens and an overall lack of polish make us wish the Black Mirror had remained buried underground were it belonged.

Even though the setting is interesting and the overall atmosphere is beautiful some serious gameplay issues along with the terrible A.I. and the poor graphics make this game a missed opportunity.

Even though it looks more beautiful and crisp on this generation of consoles, Resident Evil 6 continues to be a game with a lack of identity and many, many problems.

If this game was released two decades ago it may have hit a soft spot in the hearts of gamers raised in arcades. However, it was released in an era where it makes it look outdated with all of its features being completely obsolete.

A webcomic-based 2D point and click adventure that focuses on its adult humor, but offers little in terms of challenge.

A typical roguelite, 2D sidescrolling action-platformer with an unnecessary combination of poorly made roleplaying elements. It has a few moments of fun in its procedurally generated levels, but otherwise it is nothing more than another grind fest.

A simple idea that is addictive and fun to play, but gets too repetitive after only a few hours of gaming.

Just another mediocre movie tie-in, in the fashion of all the similar games that have preceded it and, probably, many of the ones that will follow it. It could be enjoyable, but just for kids and only for a couple of hours. That's about it.

Mediocre graphics and repetition are the two major factors of this game’s failure. It can be fun for a couple of hours, but that’s about it.

White Knight Chronicles 2 has some improvements over the first game, but cannot get away from mistakes that have a negative impact on the overall experience. Nevertheless, the fact that it includes the entire White Knight Chronicles 1, makes for a decent package.

Unfortunately, Curse of the Sea Rats is mediocre or even bad in many of its areas, from its problematic combat system to the ugly 3D environments and level design that is just boring.

The well written and quite interesting story never really takes off and on top of that we get a poor level design with intense "trial and error". The third part of the "Chronicles" trilogy hasn't done anything to escape the grim fate of its predecessors.

As long as you stay away from the PC port, ArmA Tactics will offer you some enjoyable strategy gaming hours on your portable device.

The whole existence of Metal Gear Survive closely resembles this of the Wanderers – the game’s zombies. With the story, characters and wit ripped out completely off it’s body, what remains is a lifeless yet standing shell of Metal Gear Solid V. The decent (and borrowed) survival mechanics barely keep this husk walking around aimlessly with no purpose whatsoever. Survive may not be a bad survival game, but the merciless grind required and lack of respect for gamers’ time are inexcusable.
