Watch Dogs are no gaming revolution, but it is definitely a steady start of the new series. With respect to the game's size you may wink at technical issues which are like a really heavy stone attached to the PC version's ankle. However, you may wink at them but only to some extent. Enough is enough. Despite all that, Watch Dogs do not deserve to be damned considering it is an entertaining title, and although it does not run on 100% for the most part, let us say it does not pronouncedly fail in anything apart from its story.

The original game rejuvenated and accelerated a little bit, but otherwise nothing much has changed. We must say there’s not much space for the improvement with the game like this. On the other hand, there is no reason to buy the game for again if you already played God of War III before.

In the Offworld Trading Company business strategy you do not fight using strength, you use a money instead. You will be attracted by complex economic mechanics and exotic environment of planet Mars.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 isn’t quite the love letter its predecessor was. It struggles to capture the rebellious, nostalgic vibe of the originals, and a lot of content is either missing or implemented in a clunky way. On the flip side, the new maps rank among the best the series has ever seen, and the arcade-style flow of chaining together both insane and impossible tricks remains so entertaining that once you hit your first million-point combo, you might just stop caring about the rest.

Remake of the seventh part from cult series is excellent from both the technological and gaming point of view even that all issues related to the age of game couldn’t be removed. Yet it is a beautiful adventure for dozens of hours.

Modern Warfare 3 does not crown one dramatic story with pride. A campaign is more or less a relict of an old engine and design flaws mainly that are successfully selling as a trademark. Its ranking is saved once again by its multiplayer that brings just a single style of gameplay. However, it does its job and entertains those gamers, who are fine with it.

It’s really difficult to even grade this game. Should it be called “Overwatch 2” at all? And how is it going to grow? Right now, it brings next to nothing to veterans but still remains a very good team shooter.

Mecha Break is ultimately a mixed bag. On one hand, it delivers excellent action gameplay, countless customization options for both your avatar and mechs, and brilliantly designed combat machines. On the other hand, it shoots itself in the foot by splitting core features across three unrelated game modes, offering abysmal navigation outside of battles, and aggressively pushing premium purchases.

Hell is Us is a bold and original adventure game that refuses to hold players' hands and relies on their intelligence, memory, and willingness to immerse themselves in a raw story full of real-life war horrors.

A complicated game mechanics title that's obviously suited for gamers in love with medieval battles.

This game reminds us how important is not to judge a book by its cover. Under its ugly exterior and behind the low-content veil a full-featured Samurai sandbox with sophisticated combat system is hidden.

A flawed jewel. Beneath its layers a sophisticated game is hidden, created with love yet with bugs and poor technical design. The game mechanics are the top, but they are nowadays detrimental. Whoever wants to find a treasure in Elex, must try very hard.

A solid piece of work with small cubes and a very positive attitude to the piece that takes itself too seriously.

The horror story of the mentally disturbed painter will appeal to you with a mood and a suspense. The unexpected changes of environment you get the most, environment though lacks more interactivity at some moments.

Successful adventure offers a satisfactory ending of a saga. Its advantages include excellent atmosphere and screenwriting, fantastic dubbing and an interesting story.

A very good action-adventure game with varied and entertaining gameplay. However, it's quite boring to watch all those characters and scenario as well as it is a tiresome experience to use all those new functions of the PS Vita handheld. Fortunately, you don't need to use them to the full. And then, when you click off all the dialogues there is nothing that could stop you from your enjoyment of cool graphics and great action passages that are plenty.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is more of an interactive experience than a game. Despite a bigger budget and grander visuals, the sad reality is that what worked so well before may not suffice the second time around. Nevertheless, it's a creation worth experiencing at least once.

The new Subnautica is brilliant as long as you stay under water, much less so when you’re forced to leave it. Still, it’s almost as good as the original game.

A nice melting pot of Dynasty Warriors and Fire Emblem. Mindless clash is fun and enriched with extraordinary strategic elements. But you have to get ready to accept the stupid story, the stereotype, and at the weaker technical performance of the 3DS version.

Shin Megami Tensei is back on modern hardware and modern players will have their fair share of problems with it. I’d recommend this only to very patient, challenge-hungry JRPG veterans.

What looks like a rough experience is, most of the time, a goal-directed tough visit of an island, where you with a compass and a laboratory look for a way to cure your infection. Your enemies are fatigue, fever and darkness, or more precisely a fear of what is lurking within.

Difficult, but fair Rayman-like platformer could perhaps look nicer, but who cares, when it excels with unparalleled gameplay?

I’d expect more creativity from Minecraft and a longer campaign from a Diablo clone. Still, the result is an interesting hybrid especially for those not willing to brave the dark depths of Diablo or Path of Exile.

Even though The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles does not reach a technology peak, its perfect story, humorous situations and interesting puzzles make up for it. It's a pity the game is so short.

Even though the Kingdoms of Amalur title looks like it's meant for Michey's fans, it is a fair and entertaining video game with a particularly well-made combat system. However, don't expect anything more. Stories of the world along with your hero will be pointless after some time being in the game, and all that's left are vast regions and tens of quests without their own identity. Regardless of my criticism, it's still worth it. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is worth of your playing till the very end, therefore you should reserve a few days and play.

Stand against not only natural disasters and human failures, but also against yourself and a huge, unrelenting pressure. This is a highly addictive game which will entertain and educate you. That’s why we have games.

The Thaumaturge is a conflicting game. It beautifully depicts an alternative history and Warsaw in 1905. However, the main character is challenging to connect with, and his story feels a bit hastily put together. Despite this, individual stories offer quality entertainment and tough moral choices. The Salutors are excellently rendered graphically, and their abilities in combat are enjoyable. If only the combat itself were better balanced, and the encounters were designed to have some narrative sense. Nevertheless, the overall game is entertaining; you just need to overlook some imperfections.

A not particularly groundbreaking but enjoyable World War II iteration of the old template. Classified may occasionally feel a bit cheap and outdated, but it manages to surprise with solid gameplay, a few good ideas, and a likable albeit somewhat incomplete emphasis on stealth.

If you've read some books by Tom Clancy or if you are attracted to modern day battlefields especially the naval ones you won't be disappointed with this game.

However, Naval War: Arctic Circle would deserve richer multiplayer and broader information for the player to clearly understand the naval battles.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is and isn't a new game. Under the hood beats the heart of the good old SnowRunner, but it is more accessible, offering a different experience not only due to a distinct theme but also because of smoother gameplay without the deep water challenges. However, the excessive recycling of old materials, the untapped potential of certain elements, and a host of issues affecting the experience cannot be ignored. It could have turned out better, but it's certainly not a disaster. Fans of simulations, large tires, constant search for the best route, and overcoming challenges will find enjoyment here.

Arma 3: Apex offers more potential with a stunning and sophisticated environment than thrilling campaign experience. It is a good expansion, but annoying missteps are present here again.

A stylish anime soulslike with a pretty enjoyable fighting system and many different ways to play. The enemy design, however, is extremely unimaginative which applies to the level design and the story as well.

A great remake? An excellent legacy to the Amiga history? Maybe. However, the new Carrier Command game is also full of frustration and at the same time it doesn't fulfill its potential. When the game's artificial intelligence is fixed by Bohemia Interactive, then the action-strategic magnum opus will be a true smash hit.

Despite poor pathfinding, unconvincing artificial intelligence, and uninteresting use of the Terminator license, Terminator: The Dark Fate – Defiance stands out as a successful tactical strategy game. While you primarily focus on battles and unit supply, the desperate clashes between the resistance and the artificial consciousness are excellently portrayed.

Great stealth adventure that benefits from a funny game mechanics of making shadows and their movement hides under the cover of stylish graphic design. Pity of such primitive enemy AI, the final experience could be even better.

The return of the driving ability field test has succeeded, although with some exceptions. It is great with all its muddy exercises and great atmosphere, but the witnesses of the original would feel that there is not enough changes and the newcomers will be terrified of the unfriendly user interface. Either way, you will not find a more original game involving cars.

The Dragon of the Middle Empire has finally awakened and from behind the map he dramatically influences the story not only on the Asian continent. The addon brings new interesting mechanics, including the improved Silk Road system, and extends the game with eight new war pretenses. Otherwise everything is as it was and the owners of the previous DLC will enjoy it much more the anyone else.

A different studio, the same product. Arkham Origins is basically the Arkham City title, re-painted not to a pink colour but into the mood of Batman's advent. The fun is there, however and unfortunately, its drawbacks should really be solved.
