Fez is an imaginative and congenial indie game. However, it had been in development for a very long time, which means the game's effort to "do things differently" is somewhat forced, inferior and even irritating sometimes. Nevertheless, thanks to rewards after successfully solved puzzles, thanks to detailed graphics with well-made mechanics of the game world rotating - you will gladly and constantly return to this title.

Rez Infinite is an artistic pearl in which the audiovisual effects outshine the core gaming entertainment. But players who know what to expect will not be disappointed.

Severed starts out as a very interesting modern version of classical dungeon crawlers. With increasing time, however, the game loses the pace and starts to be somewhat tedious.

Monster Hunter Rise brings with it several new features that should become mainstays of the series. At the same time, however, it loses one of its most impressive systems - tracking the monsters. And so the hunt loses much of its magic.

Roguelike genre, which is renowned for its difficulty, moves up an entire level with the Crypt of the NecroDancer. It offers a challenge that has the potential to plunge you into despair, even if you are familiar with such games. NecroDancer is cute, unforgiving and exotic in its own essence. You won't experience anything similar elsewhere. The question is, whether you're good enough to bear all the gifts this game offers you.

How do you even critique this? The actors are brilliant, the production quality as well, but the game feels random at times and offers very poor gameplay.

The Witness is an excellent trainer of a wit and logical thinking. Just don’t expect anything more from this game. Puzzles miss any ideas, they are served without a feeling and -oddly enough- quite illogically.

A jewel made of words - beautiful, bewitching words. When you’re reading its stories, everything seems great, but then the game lets itself down with low difficulty and monotonous activities.

The special abilities of your playable character as the game fourth instalment's major crowd-puller are not free and easy as they should be, and from a certain point of view they actually do harm its gameplay. When you look at its content it's the third instalment, only extended. However, it lacks its previous charms. If you carry across some of the problems described in my review, the game will reward you with its crazy and funny experience, which becomes the series' custom. Just lower your expectations before the purchase.

A good comeback of the most popular gaming heroine ever. Tomb Raider is a pleasing and relaxing thing that is not going to bore you. However, this is not a game you are going to remember in a few months as a something special.

A rapid action game in heavy metal rhythm which will make you remember all those legendary platformers from the 90s. It’s frantic, easy to understand - but its difficulty can be, at times, terrifying.

An interesting adventure filled with extraordinary moments, beautiful as a postcard with sunset. Rather than a game, it is more an interactive movie to watch.

With Card Thief you will experience many impressive moments. However, this mix of card game and stealth does not avoid quite repetitive playability and inconvenience in several parts.

Thrilling combat, captivating sound, and a breathtaking art style—these alone make Ghost of Yōtei well worth experiencing. The rest of the game, however, is harder to praise without reservations, and next time the developers would do well to embrace more experiments, rework the climbing segments, and bring in new writers.

Starfield is an unrivaled large and comprehensive space opera. Although it plays too much like Bethesda's previous games and the exploration of the planets is boring, it entertains with interesting stories and looks truly otherworldly.

Doom: The Dark Ages delivers fantastic action and an excellent arsenal, but all attempts at story, a more open structure, and superficially modern filler feel more like a forced detour that actively prevents the game from becoming the pinnacle of the series.

An interesting and superbly crafted connection of two arcade legends for your phone. You will have a fun, but how much it would be? Average technical solution and no power given into your hands are problems that can´t be forgiven.

Technotopia is a minimalist city-building strategy game with a quirky visual style that successfully blends with the mechanics of Reigns series. Its gradually unfolding story keeps you engaged and can be completed in a single evening. The game surprises with a cleverly implemented roguelite system, occasionally frustrates with its reliance on randomness, and ultimately disappoints with the lack of any non-story mode. However, for its modest price, it offers an enjoyable few hours of entertainment.

Another year, another few steps in the right direction - but very tiny steps indeed. The promised match engine upgrade doesn’t add up to much and the rest of the innovations will be appreciated only by the most faithful and experienced football coaches.

A well-executed sci-fi psychological thriller that explores how a single decision can alter the course of your life. Over time, dialogue becomes the main gameplay focus, though the base management system is also solid. The weakest aspect lies in the planetary traversal, which feels too restricted. Still, it’s a powerful and engaging experience, with branching storylines that make it worth revisiting more than once.

Brave New World brings a lot of new content along with new mechanics that do not, however, change or improve its gameplay. All's just chewed up. It's the same thing as with some immobile wrack, out of which you would try to make a movable cool car by just changing its transmission, respraying it with bee stripes, or by connecting a trailer to it. It just won't do. BNW is no BMW, even though it's not entirely its fault.

A game aimed solely at children and their parents, nothing more and nothing less. A bit of good fun if you’re feeling playful but not nearly as impressive as other Nintendo masterpieces of this era.

A well-made port that's behaving just right. Because it's the portation of the complete edition of the final instalment you will find all the DLCs here. The end result is that it is a very good fighting game, well-suited for relaxing on your travels.

Antihero is pretending to be a board game, but it has nothing to offer to board game players. It's flat, scared of depth and gives no room for your own ideas in never-changing battles. You can find a lot of better digital board games on the market. But if you are not interested in table games and you are looking for something slightly different, Antihero has it.

StarCraft: Remastered admittedly targets to esport. While for professional players it is almost perfect, for ordinary people it is a half-baked remaster of once great game, which is not so good to play today.

The enhanced edition of the glamorous gaming classic invokes mixed feelings. It brings a more modern look and greater users comfort, but some changes don't fully improve the game. Additionally, the enhanced version offers an original content without any changes, which is a warning to all original game owners who were looking forward to new experiences.

The campaign is certainly better than in Gears 4 and the core gameplay is fun, but Gears 5 is way behind the original trilogy in almost all other aspects - especially due to the incessant, and boring, lulls in the action.

Still addictive, still entertaining. The first big set for Hearthstone hit the spot. Against all grim forecasts the massive amount of random cards didn’t hurt the game. Thanks to the GG expansion new game packs are created and the old ones are edited, which makes the game better and better.

The most extensive installment of the entire game series brings a spectacular adventure filled with land and sea battles. It's great to look at it and the traditional sandbox is just fine' however, this third volume's many very important qualities of the entire game series along with its game system have been lost without the new features making up for it. The less, the better, and look before you leap should have been the proverbs of the day. Assassin's Creed III is undoubtedly a very good game, but I cannot shake off the feeling it could have been much much better.

80 Days works much better on mobiles – what works on mobile phones may not work on PC. However, the core of the game, consisting in reading interesting text and making decision in hundreds of situations, works tolerably even on PC.

Just an average kind of a racing game. Criterion has meddled the things that work to no avail. Has it been an order from EA or have they been trying to take the series apart to prepare a market for a true Burnout comeback? A conspiracy theory? Maybe, but nothing changes the fact that the Most Wanted game is dull as dishwater.

Football Manager’s new content deals with the future, which is great - but it should also focus on the present which, through its mistakes, dangerously resembles the past.

Hogwarts Legacy offers a beautiful Hogwarts Castle and a fun wizarding system which together lay down solid foundations for the future. The present, however, is dragged back by a silly story, bad optimization, and filler content.

A solid expansion that introduces a beautiful new region, a new hero, and some welcome changes and intriguing additions. However, the storyline feels hollow, and the amount of fresh content is somewhat lacking given the price. Technically, it’s not entirely flawless either.

Fallout 4 is an open world RPG from Bethesda with everything that goes with it. Emotionally flat, somewhat two-dimensional in characters, story is not very attractive and the game is bugged as any game Bethesda released last few decades. But the game also offers an incredibly rich world, funny gameplay, hilarious gunfights, a gigantic portion of the content, interesting subplots, great replayability and phenomenal music. Revolution does not take place, a road to perfection is still long, but overall the game is good.

The final episode of The Wolf Among Us failed to completely fulfill the high expectations, and it looks half-heartedly even though it gets away with it to some extent. It completes otherwise neat first adventure series that rape gracefully all memories of your fabulous childhood.

Alba wants you to find happiness in something larger than yourself. But instead of actually teaching you anything about protecting the environment, it “only” succeeds in being an enjoyable adventure.

Super Mario RPG provides an excellent way to introduce a remarkable classic to a modern audience. Unfortunately, it doesn't go the extra mile and, in its effort to be as 1:1 as possible, occasionally feels a bit dated. However, turn-based battles with rhythmic elements remain entertaining, and the new graphical touches suit the most famous plumber and his companions well.

With no campaign, Battle Royale mode really shines. Zombie co-op mode is surprisingly addictive, but there is another surprise – big technical errors you wouldn’t expect in an Activision game.

Orcs Must Die! 2 is as addicting and fun as the original, and furthermore it adds a great co-op gameplay. However, the absence of new levels, no in-game editor, and too close a resemblance with the original title make Orcs Must Die! 2 look more like an expansion pack than a fulfilling sequel.

New adventures of a bald assassin make the Hitman game playable for newcomers as well as for hardcore fans ¬thanks to the rich content and a wide set of options – surprisingly without major compromises, although not without some technical issues.

There’s no innovation, no evolution, nothing particularly exciting about this DLC. What you get is what you’d expect - three new missions which feel exactly the same as the original ones. 

Not your usual Pokémon game, a step in a slightly different direction. Arceus isn’t without its faults, but it is fun – and that might be the most important quality of this experiment.

Excellent tactical game that suffers from occasional megalomania and also a lack of testing. Moments when everything works as it should are a true balm for every strategist's soul.

The mixing of cultures is very well done, the royal court itself not so much – it actually ends up being a disappointment. This DLC should have been better, but once you try it out, you’d miss it anyway.

Spectacular and grandiosely created journey reached its center with several scriptwriter mistakes. When patched it will proceed directly in the gaming Valhalla. However, it is standing outside the gates for now.

The creators came up with a great concept, but they could not build a great game. None the less, the Superhot is a unique shooting experience that will delight all fans of innovative games.

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.

Czech Blackhole seamlessly withstands in global platformer competition. The concept is, however, closer to games in which rather depend on the accuracy and nerves than on sophisticated solution or other logic puzzles. Blackhole is inappropriate for choleric, but it is the obligation for fans of hardcore difficulty.

Great supply of game modes, the addictive Ultimate Team, greatly looking game environment along with a true football atmosphere. In all that things FIFA 15 excels. Unfortunately, the way football matches were elaborated brings changes that solve some of the old issues indeed, but at the same time they bring the new ones.

Peak is a fun climbing arcade game that you can enjoy solo or with friends. Its gameplay loop isn’t meant to frustrate, just entertain – and it succeeds. The climbing itself, with its animations and sound design, is genuinely satisfying. However, the climbing gear could use a bit more attention, and overall, this is more of a casual, one-evening treat than a multiplayer staple you'll keep coming back to for months.

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.

It’s a beautiful game but gameplay-wise, it sometimes struggles. The same applies to the story and especially the characters. Still, the game has its charms and is overall a solid addition to the series.

This DLC simply isn’t as good as the base game - unless you really like horror and really hate reading old texts in which case the reverse might be true. At any rate, this is a very good pretext for returning to one of the best games of the decade.

They didn’t have to make this game. It tries to go in a more action-packed direction than its terrifying predecessor but ends up being frustrating and unnecessarily punishing.

A very touching remaster of one classic title that is like a reward for all the fans. At the same time it is a perfect time for the new gamers that missed the start of the series. This title brings along a new graphics engine and more or less of big and small improvements and also several enjoyable bonuses. Yes – Halo is still a bit old, but not old enough to hold you from your enjoyment.

Metal Gear series and hardcore beat 'em ups fans will fall in love with this one. They will even extend their experience by replaying the game. They will have no troubles at all with its highly-problematic camera along with its useless junk in the combat system. They will handle it. Gamers outside the fandom do not need to get excited, there is nothing interesting for them.

The Last Guardian is a ten-year-old game that had somehow emerged on store shelves recently. Though it does undoubtedly have a big heart, it stands no chance compared to today's titles. Moreover, even if you were a fan of the old action adventure games, brace yourself for the plain frustration from the crappy controls, mad camera and unclear game design.

For The Astronauts developers, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is not a victory, but neither is it a failure. Fans of the games like Dear Esther or Gone Home will very much like it, and if you take pleasure in beautiful graphics, you will purr with delight.

Classical horror game remastered to HD addresses mostly those who remember the original so they know what to expect from this title. Years haven’t been kind to the game especially the technical part deserved bit more care – but the RE fans will be satisfied nevertheless, which was the goal Capcom obviously wanted to achieve.

Loop Hero is a fresh indie success that’s more interested in your time than skills. Maybe you’ll be able to kill hours upon hours in its repetitive loops. And perhaps you’ll lose your patience halfway through.

Veilguard delivers a solid sequel filled with epic story moments and a fascinating world, yet it doesn't quite reach the heights of its predecessors. While the character writing feels weaker, battles can be repetitive, and the beginning is somewhat unsteady, the game still offers much for devoted series fans. However, it lacks that spark needed to fully restore BioWare’s former glory.

For excited fans of the year 2033 it is a must, for Slavic games lovers it is a reason to be interested in it. However, not even its superb graphics quality is enough to get over the game's shallow moments along with its thoughtless script that has been cooked with plain water mainly. Although radioactive, plain water still.

Starbound is not as polished and debugged as other games, and sometimes it may seem repetitive. But compared to more "modern" sci-fi games its explorative, almost melancholic spirit and emphasis on building catches your heart. Spare a few hundred hours of your time, the ultimate boundary once again calls for the survey.

Again, it's the best ice hockey simulation game under the sun. Comparing it to the last year's volume it brings just a few cosmetic changes that won't probably bring you home to it. However, if you missed it last year, then NHL 14 is the only option.

Cute, colorful and imaginative game offers plenty of widgets and hardly any gaming challenge. If you just want to "run through" another game and not lose your nerves, you have the opportunity.

Tearaway Unfolded is a perfect handheld-to-console conversion. Only slight repetitiveness spoils the game, but it will be noticed only by players, who have searched the Vita version through and through.

Downwell is an arcade game with purposefully archaic look and Spartan equipment for gaming masochists. Fans of retro, speed run and especially extreme difficulty will be thrilled, others should let their hands off!

It's high-pitched, talkative, crazy, hysterical, and funny. A lawyer-like thriller made in Japan. It's simpler and more straight-lined than its previous installments. It's pretty playable, though.

Are you still striving to gather enough courage to enter the unforgiving world of Dark Souls? Try Ashen instead. It’s a natural beginner’s choice in the genre of brutally difficult action RPGs.

Excellent co-op top-down action offers a very satisfactory gameplay focused on the endless bloodbath and well designed, but slightly stereotypical tasks. With the right bunch of teammates it will attract your attention for long hours. But join the wrong group and you will feel like the hell broke loose.

Hershel Layton said goodbye with dignity of his own, and even for the sixth time he's capable to deliver the entertaining adventure game full of puzzles. On the other hand, the bell tolls for the professor already, and because of the constantly recycled content his latest adventure is unnecessarily dull.

Great story campaign which is a pleasure to play. The need to strategize is extended on a global map. The missions are variable and cleverly designed, so they are able to tease your wits. It's a pity that the game has several flaws and is too expensive, but fortunately we can expect various discounts in the future.

The third episode entertains again, but the series slightly loses its pace at the halfway mark - last time it was more fun. It is a wonder what great influence have your decisions from the previous part. Telltale is often not good in this stuff but this time the made a real fork in the story.

Although the fourth episode offers the longest story, it not enough and the narration is shallow and dialogues are surprisingly weaker. Therefore we can only look forward (and hope) to the first season finale.

A colourful urban action game that will torment you at first but eventually reward you with its loopy freestyle riding. The game has a bit dull and drab content, and our fellow country gamers will probably get annoyed experiencing humour of the American teenagers. However, as a smaller crazy alternative to GTA it works great.

A modern narrative adventure game with an amazingly lovable heroine and plenty of strong scenes. But it’s also a tad too ambitious in scope. It looks great, sounds great and its story holds together for the most part, so in the end, you should probably play it. Just not on consoles!

A trip to the wonderfully stylized nature of wild Wyoming fully wakes your imagination. Unfortunately, a well-developed story doesn´t reach to a satisfactory ending. Thanks to excellent dialogues, fabulous views and immersive atmosphere Firewatch certainly deserves your attention.

Proun is an attractive ride on an invisible glued tube. You feel shapes, you feel colours, you feel music and you combine all of this and let it roll in your own mind. This game is great. Unfortunately, there is very little of it. Hopefully, there will be more of it. Some day.

A personal and humorous adventure game with a distinctive graphic style that prefers situational gags before playability. The game is not difficult or sly, but you’ll forgive it in the right mood. It works well as a casual interactive movie.

By far the biggest and the most famous racing simulation video game ever. But it does not deserve further superlatives. It knows how to entertain, how to amaze. But it does not know how to cover its semi-finished state. Again, it's a must for hardcore fans. However, racers of the mainstream will more likely roll their eyes than their wheels.

In spite of its technical problems, Borderlands 3 is still a very solid looter shooter, generous with both shooting and loot. The magic of the second installment - and its excellent writing - is, however, gone.

A deeply complex space strategy game in which you must build your own colony on an inhospitable planet and manage even the tiniest details. All the endings and scenarios will take you a while to discover. The weaker points are its combat system and stupid colonists.

Dragon's Dogma is an outstandingly specific action RPG, which doesn´t appeal to everyone, but the one who breaks through the hard shell to the core of the game, discovers surprisingly complex experience, which originates mainly from the sophisticated fights.

Tales of Vesperia is a clear example of Japanese RPGs from days gone by. Its traditional approach will please only the most conservative fans of the genre. Other players should look elsewhere - there is more than enough modern competition.

It's easy to sell goods that are supposed to be good. However, when authors simply copied everything great from the Street Fighter game because they were not able to deal with their own worn-out game concept by themselves, there is something wrong. We want you to better take care of tenderfeet. We want more bonus content. And we want some fresh juice. SoulCalibur is far from going down to the second league, however, there's no play-off this season. Fans of the series will most likely buy it, the rest of you just take it easy and wait for the all-star mainstream: the Street Fighter x Mortal Kombat game.

Wasteland 2 is wasting your time in all aspects of its design, although all of them are capable of being entertaining, at least sometimes. A story of varying qualities that is full of clichés, sheer stupidity but also of humorous moments and references to for about billions of things manages to hardly hold a gamer's attention. On the top of that, there are tons of bugs in the game. If it were not for Brian Fargo along with other anointed heads who have created this piece, it would have flown under the radar as a cheap Russian imitation of Fallout that have been delayed for ten years.

Anno 1800 finally returns to its historical roots, enriched by elegant graphics and complex city management. But other half-baked features drag it down - namely diplomacy, warfare and maritime trade.

A great RPG is not afraid of doing things differently. Although graphically awful and even technically not perfect, Age of Decadence still is one of the most original games of its kind. It’s just not for everyone.

A beautiful open world full of fun activities, well-made cooperation with a variety of companions, absolute freedom in how you purge a crazy cult... Far Cry 5 is an excellent, though slightly repetitive, game, until it is backstabbed by a stupid script in combination with unusually annoying bugs.

Yooka-Laylee is back, waxing nostalgic again. This spin-off celebrates 2D platformers of a bygone age and brings tasteful fun, even though it’s not very original at all.

A pleasant job for both stealth-style fans, and those who have not yet enough of the Dishonored playability. Yet most of the time, the sequel does not reach the quality of its predecessors.

SteamWorld Quest can’t quite reach the heights of the previous games in the series, but there’s a lot of fun to be had regardless thanks to simple, yet clever combat system, typical sense of humour and many possible styles of play.

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.

Black Ops III is a proof that it is not always necessary to change the basics at any cost, when you don’t bring a better solution. Especially in single player the creators attempted to make a revolutionary change and unfortunately it ended in disaster. Multiplayer, fortunately, stands on the same principles as in previous parts; it works excellently and entertains players for many hours, even though it brings nothing substantially new. Finally, MP is the only reason, why to play Call of Duty this year.

Who’d guess that rolling a ball could be so much fun? If only we got more than just the first game for PS2 - a collection of all the installments would have been so much better.

The environments are beautiful and varied, the combat is very well done and the PvE content is satisfying. But why would you lock it all behind daily limits and randomness?

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.
