    Thrilling adventure with logic puzzles offers a decent drama from the "University of ghosts." However, it is missing originality and does not exceed the limits of the genre. It is a decent, but not breathtaking adventure.

    Dull and uninteresting game without ideas and tension and with a lot of unfinished work. Lenient, undemanding fans of stealth games may be satisfied for a while, but even they should wait for a sale. Everyone else should rather return to Dishonored or Hitman.

    A hilarious retro dungeon crawler mixes traditional ways of gameplay with fresh combat system. Handheld origin of this game sadly carries some negatives, such as problems with the user interface and not very appealing visuals. Nonetheless, it is a title that will reward tolerant players with a long evening, full of entertainment.

    Excellent action jumble of genres and play styles, which does not look that good, but all its cons are masked by its great story and unconventional narrative. Automata definitely isn’t for everyone. But if you are not afraid of the Japanese weirdness and instead of sweet tearjerkers you’d want a proper depression with philosophical questions, you won’t regret buying this game.

    Seven out of ten, barely. In the genre of narrative sandbox are now many better fresh games and I have no choice but to ask – has BioWare lost good writers, or does it hope that the players will simply be satisfied with a silly story and uninteresting characters, accompanied by a good combat system? For me, both options are quite sad.

    Milking the cows will go down in history, but it does not change the fact that 1-2-Switch is only a collection of mini-games that will soon become boring. The whole thing is more ridiculous than funny. And then there’s an ungodly price.

    Beautiful graphics and satisfactory gameplay. The impression is spoiled by stupid narrative and the low diversity of tasks together with limited tactical possibilities and stupid AI. That’s why the single-player experience gradually ends in stereotype and boredom. Cooperative mode is a completely different story – it offers another level of fun. If you would like to play Wildlands, it should be because of the experience with human co-players.

    The only positive aspect of the game is its inspiration by Murakami works. Otherwise Memoranda is just a mix of illogical puzzles with a story that sometimes loses the way.

    A typical example of the game that shouldn´t have left its home platform. Although Halo Wars 2 is relatively functional console strategy in the core, it basically does not have much to offer in comparison with PC competition. I would recommend it only to hardcore fans of the Halo universe, the rest of you should rather reach for Dawn of War or Company of Heroes series.

    The largest Zelda? No dispute. The finest launch title for a new console? So, it is. And isn´t it also the best Zelda? Yippee. And something more. Breath of the Wild is so far the best Zelda, which will be unforgettably written in the history of open-world games.

    A lot of melancholy and poetry swims below the sea surface. You can watch it from the window of the submarine in the arcade with a non-linear design, charming graphics and a distinctive atmosphere. Fabulous Song of the Deep, however, could avoid the breakneck controls and frustrating puzzles.

    Do not worry of F2P model and micro-transactions. Yes, they are here, and after some time they start to bite, but you can play Fire Emblem Heroes very well without paying. It is a surprisingly complex mix of turn-based strategy and RPG and decent mobile spin-off, for the main series doesn´t need to be ashamed of. Quite the contrary! Nintendo shows everyone how to convert the favorite brand to mobile phones, they don´t upset their existing fans, and even get new ones. Bravo.

    Untraditional conception of building strategy promised many, but instead of that, it delivered dys-functional game mechanics and botched gameplay. Urban Empire stands between the two genres, and takes the worst from both – limited building is combined with dysfunctional political part of the whole game.

    For a little money, you get a little fun. However, the one hour Oh Sir!! Game lasts, will enrich your vocabulary fairly, and teach you how to effectively mock your enemies. It also reminds you in the most pleasant way the humor, for what you love everything that bears the name of Monty Python.

    Farming simulation with a strong focus on manual machines control and administration of operations.

    Way of the Red is an acrobatic and quite challenging platformer game with questionable added value. The story does not impress, the technical side disappoints and the game ends too soon.

    Space Hulk: Deathwing is an action with a great atmosphere and design that authentically returns the world of Warhammer 40,000 to the spotlights.

    In the Offworld Trading Company business strategy you do not fight using strength, you use a money instead.
