One of the best RTS in recent years shows that simplicity is the power. 8-bit Armies commemorates the first Command & Conquer game, features an addictive gameplay and has a great chance to charm the community.

A bow to classic platformers, especially from Eric Chahi excels with excellent atmosphere, great visual style and ruthless difficulty. While the last one you can expect in similar games, in this game it’s too much – because of the problems with controls and unnecessary backtracking. However, if you are patient enough, The Way, despite for its issues, can entertain you pretty well.

A common top-down action lost its a charm because of lack of any innovation. Although it stands on the solid pillars of gameplay, it doesn´t attract the players. Although the game plays well, it gets boring very soon.

Grand farewell to Geralt of Rivia, a shiny example of an expansion and great completion of one of the best RPGs of recent years. Just as children are obliged to go to school, The Witcher 3 players have a duty to go to Toussaint.

Acrobatics on medieval galleries has its charm, but is far from perfection. The stealth game is more action than tactical and it leads to stereotype that authors even feed with many technical and conceptual mistakes.

Ratchet & Clank is an good example how to approach the older games. The creators took the basics, added the elements from newer games wrap it into the advanced visuals, and they deliver a truly great entertainment.

Homefront, for a second time did not fulfilled the potential and remained an average product. While nothing is too bad, at the same time nothing is great. Korean-to-US invasion theme was spoiled with excessive correctness, the gameplay itself is fine, but the open world feels sterile. Homefront is a game you will play only when nothing better is at hand.

Graham is back in full strength and brings us two to three hours of superb adventure fun. Witty moments appear along with moments that chime many inner strings. The result is a fantastic episode.

Stunning tour of the Total War series into the fantasy world of Warhammer. Each of the four playable races offers a completely different experience in battles and on the strategic map. Innovation in the form of magic, heroes and giant monsters surprisingly fits well into the series style and refreshes it.

Space adventure with a short story and imperfect game mechanics is a typical example of unfulfilled potential. On the Saturn's moon, Titan, a spectacular adventure could have taken place, but only the original plot is worth mentioning.

Excellent simulation didn´t lose anything of its charm with the console conversion – it plays great with steady fps and offers hours and hours of sheer fun. Only a slight impersonality of singleplayer and not very functional link to the RaceNet network prevents a higher score.

Decent space RTS offers a funny single-player campaign, but needs a number of adjustments in multiplayer – especially with balancing.

Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked is stuffed with new features that do not change only the set of the game, but also the way of playing. Therefore, the expansion will be enjoyable for the players who started to be a little sick of the game.

Expansion what extends above-average game, can´t be much better than original by definition. Although The Following improves the original a bit, it mostly sticks to a similar standard. For your money you get a lot, but none of this is unfortunately unique. And one of the few innovations – 4-wheeler buggy car – has no effect at all. If it wouldn’t be for the multiplayer, it would be an average expansion.

Some games are “too old to change”, but sometimes it's just not necessary. Battlezone proves it, it can beat the competition even in its original form with its attractive gameplay and classic look.

Successful interactive drama in the Telltale-games style is exotic with time and place, but not with character motives. Story of the key moment of the Iranian Islamic revolution and the young photographer Reza Schirazi is thematically closer to us than plots of the similar Telltale titles. 1979 Revolution benefits from a great mood, well-written characters and undeniable educational factor, which is not boring at all.

New Doom does not actually bring anything new and its greatest asset is a confessed retro gameplay. Fortunately, this works well, thanks to a combination of rapid movement, excellent shooting and good old brutality.

Humor remained, but everything else disappeared somewhere. Compared to Borderlands Battleborn suffers especially in terms of content, when the fast action is hidden under tragic cooperative campaign, matchmaking problems and the poor content. This is not a game without any potential, but this time it really pays off to wait for at least a couple of DLCs.

Uncharted 4 is like a book that you literally swallow page by page, but at the same time you are sad to see the diminishing count of unread pages. You don´t want it to end, you know what is coming but nothing can be done. Nathan Drake's adventure ends, but it's probably the best final chapter you could wish for.

Addictive MMORPG with a classic core, whose main attraction is a great and entertaining fight together with a number of well-functioning systems. Only some particular technical problems and boring quests prevent the gem to achieve the greater score.

Explosive, sometimes even crazy, funny and joyful roguelike action – that is Enter the Gungeon. To combine frenzied top-down shooter with harsh difficulty and gigantic loot was a brilliant idea. Equally high is the technical part of the game.

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.

Ageless adventure with a modern look for both nostalgic gamers and newcomers. Everyone should know this game.

Decent expansion to the classic RPG, which -in addition to the inevitable technical limitations- suffers mainly due to the uneven quality of the script. All in all, it is a very good excuse to once again venture into the world of Faerûn.

A dark action-RPG as you know it. Unforgiving and difficult, but rewarding. It boasts with great music and perfect design. Inconveniences such as bad interface or occasional strange targeting system can be overlooked. If you do not have enough after the first two episodes, you'll enjoy Dark Souls III.

Faint return of the popular adventure series. Deponia still charms with its original concept and humor …and even Rufus lost none of his charm. The devs from of Daedalic bring us an adventure that is good only with its story, but not with a gameplay.

An overlooked adventure gem that won't amaze with its technical side or puzzles, but with its story, dialogues and characters – precisely the features a quality adventure game needs.

When you wrap a tiptop technology in boredom you get Adrift – a simulator of life on orbit is the glossy virtual reality, where almost nothing is happening. And that ‘almost nothing’ is repeated hundred times over.

Difficult and frustrating at first, later amazingly satisfying action RPG for demanding audience. Bite your lip, gaze upon its beautiful graphics and have a satisfying feeling of accomplishment offered only by few games.

Strategy game from the classic of the genre is not based on nostalgia, but on the flawless turn-based core around which better and better game is evolving even months after the release.

Swift gameplay and massive battles catch you quickly. In addition, artificial intelligence works great, so you can rely on AI during the campaign and even during the multiplayer. We pray for more such RTS experiments.

Visually nice heavy metal platformer forgot to sell its soul to the devil to get some fun in its gameplay. The creators focused too much on the music and visuals but forgot about the game.

The introductory episode was ok, now we were given a dull sequel. More clichés, technically goofed and (maybe fortunately?) shorter. If The Walking Dead: Michonne aspires to be short-but-fun adventure, it has to add a lot in the upcoming final episode.

At its core Grim Dawn is an excellent fighting game. It's a game that shouldn´t be missed by any Diablo or Titan Quest fan.

The fifth episode isn´t truly the fifth episode. The previous story is left aside and a new, closed plot emerges - smooth and surprisingly full of ideas. Minecraft: Story Mode will not become a legend, but this attempt to rush it to the finish has paid off.

Nicely told gamebook suffers from a certain prolixity and perhaps too much freedom which is suddenly take. But if you enjoy reading, you will enjoy Sorcery.

FPS full of action, in which you are constantly going through the same things. Instead of boredom, you will find fun in your small victories.

Sun Dogs looked like an interesting hybrid of sci-fi RPG and gamebook that draws its inspiration from Kim Stanley Robinson and The Expanse series. A broken game system and only partially interesting form of fiction, however, ruined the promising game.

Once the engaging atmosphere melts away, only a fairly boring, stereotypical and somehow broken game remains. There are plenty of more interesting survivals to play.

Mimpi the dog returns to action in another charming arcade game. Children and beginners will be excited by his cute tricks. Game also offers easy playability without hitches and frustration. The only disadvantage is really extremely short campaign.

Excellent adventure with a fast-paced fighting system and sophisticated RPG elements could be compared to the “Souls-series” games thanks to its difficulty setting and some mechanics. However, it is so imaginative and visually successful, that it’s definitely not a rip-off. On the contrary it has the potential to create its own group of fans who will be discovering the secrets of the game for several more months.

A classic point-and-click adventure game with an interesting plot and post-apocalyptic mood, which successfully focuses on storytelling, but forgets a little bit the gameplay on the way.

Visually stunning adventure game with such pleasant gameplay and imaginative puzzles. You can easily ignore any of its minor flaws. Give it a try, you will not regret it.

UFC 2 is better in all aspects than the first game. It is not only an excellent simulation of combat sport liked mostly by MMA fans, but it is also a great promotion. Thanks to the qualities of UFC 2, the count of MMA fans will increase again.

Some parts the handwriting of Remedy veterans is easily recognizable, but the gameplay is stereotyped and uninspiring. Also the proclaimed connection of the game and the live-action series does not work as intended.

Neither good nor bad. The new Need for Speed is just another piece in a row that you play and forget when it’s finished. Although the PC version has brought some interesting changes, console controls and unresolved technical issues are reasons why the game can´t be a hit.

Properly remastered piece, while not so detailed as Windwaker remake, yet it satisfies you and show how great the Twilight Princess is. If you have not played it, you have to try with this remake, and even if you already played the original you should consider a replay. The unique atmosphere and great design overcome the errors from the original.

Successful detective novel has finally found its way to PC from the handheld zone and any enthusiasts of well-narrated stories shouldn´t definitely miss it.

If you are in the mood for an elaborate action RPG, and you have few like-minded friends, Tom Clancy´s The Division is game just for you. Flawless co-op lets you forget even the Division’s not-so-variable missions.

Beautifully done battle with nature, which relies primarily on audio-visual aspect and a realistic setting. Grab your axe, food for three days and get downstream.

An interesting idea, but not very funny new management strategy from the school grounds. Teaching pineapples in the classroom is hilarious and inspiring only until the game turns into a boring routine.

Although Hitman brings some new features, it is still targeting the hardcore fans of the series. When you forgive its technical problems, other issues and devious AI, you will get an experience very similar to Blood Money. So far the game is for the core fans of the series only.

Sophisticated and complex sandbox with the massive content. You will like its calm mood and pure gameplay. For a long time, there was not such funny and fulfilling game offering a perfect relaxing experience.

An interesting concept about a writer declining into a madness unfortunately suffers from a poor storytelling, boring pixel hunting, and at the end it’s only a waste of time.

Misery and a bonfire of vanity, annoying and frustrating gameplay, zero resourcefulness, plenty of issues, a mistakes and unfriendly controls – this piece can´t be recommended even to the biggest fans of the series.

Extensive and very pretty fighting game in its core, however sewed with hot needle and issued in an unpleasant condition. Capcom clearly cuts a branch beneath themselves to get an easy profit. Only time will tell, whether this series will get back its reputation using a pile of patches and DLCs. Its heroes would undoubtedly deserve it.

Compared to the first part this DLC is an overall improvement. You will always find some mistakes, but this time you will gladly overlook them.

Challenging but funny game with interesting concept and a few issues uses dwarf race in an unusual way.

The fact, the Assassin's Creed Identity is an outstanding achievement for mobile phones, doesn´t make it an exceptional game itself. On the contrary, in the context of the series it is the weakest part. Buy it only when you've finished playing / reading / watching / eating everything that is connected to Assassin's Creed franchise, and still don’t have enough.

From a small game has grown a full-featured multiplayer action, that scores on almost all fronts. Only the single-player part could be more sophisticated. But the crazy game world and addictive gameplay will make it up for you.

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.

Core fans of the first two Fallout games will enjoy Underrail as well as the players who hate the last 15 years of game development. It is a hardcore game that somewhere under the terrible interface and illogical absence of some key elements hides days of traditional post-apocalyptic entertainment.

If you expect a funny puzzle game, you have to look elsewhere. Soul Axiom offers plenty of easily-forgettable levels and dull puzzles, that will resolve themselves. In addition, the game doesn´t excel in its presentation, whether we are talking about graphic stylization or the technical side of the game.

Emotionally-charged experience, that avoids the clichés of playing on emotions, isn´t, the biggest success of That Dragon, Cancer. Even more astonishing is the coherent form, playful linking of the game genres and creative imagination of the authors. Is it a game at all? Who cares when you get such satisfactory piece of art...

Straightforward, accessible and passionately created adventure. If you liked the Loom then give King's Challenge definitely a chance.

Bloodier, more linear, but actually exactly the same game as the last time. If you still haven´t got enough of harsh human stories from zombie apocalypses, you will enjoy The Walking Dead: Michonne, because it offers a proven Telltale quality. Otherwise there is no reason buying this one-hour game.

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.

Fear Equation is bizarrely beautiful conceptual mix; combining the traveler's passion with depression and tension. Complicated gameplay requires a lot of concentration, but the reward is an almost never-ending fun.

The fourth Far Cry put on an animal skin and tried a prehistoric act. However, virtually nothing has changed under the surface –good news for the fans but bad news for those who hoped for significant changes. Luckily the core mechanics of the original still work well.

Precise remaster of PS Vita key title is a must for all fans of Gravity Rush regardless the final score. Others will probably notice the flaws due to the handheld origin of the title.

Amazing platformer nearly without any mistakes. Visually stunning, soulful, great, pleasant and with catchy music. Unravel is a pleasure to play no matter your genre preferences.

The Masterpiece, by all meanings. If you want, you get mastered to pieces. It is an undoubted candidate of the game of the year title; you will wish the game never ends.

Funny rework of the original proves that even the fighting games can tell a good story. Game fans will be thrilled by almost everything – from the combat system accessibility to the flawless sounds and visuals. Hardcore players might be a little upset with a simpler combat system, but Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 will reward them with tons of game modes, and nearly endless list of available fighters.

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.

Considering the atmosphere and the story Distrain is a job well done – instead of ostentatious horror it scares mainly with its realism and spooky normality, wrapped in occasional psychedelia. From time to time I lacked the option to control the game with a mouse and some game mechanics could be more user-friendly. These minor flaws, however, do not change the fact, Distrain is very pleasant experience.

Raw and inaccessible at first. This is a new dungeon from French Mana Games. But it also can motivate and entertain for hours. The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians will reward those who doesn´t give to a first impression with its unusual battle system and a typical dungeon gloom.

Gripping horror adventure game excels in amazing sounds, music and visuals. Although the originality of the story won´t take your breath away, the game will succeed with its atmosphere and touchy experience. Try it, you won´t regret.

Because the media can (and they also do) manipulate the crowd, it is good to remember, that nothing is only black or white – and seemingly simple decisions can bring unexpected negative results. In the case of The Westport Independent the form however wins over the content, which is desperately short and shallow. It is an interesting experiment, but only an average game.

Milestone created surprisingly dignified simulator full of content and its own personality. This rally newcomer is a big competition to Codemasters titles. Although poor technology and silly mistakes hurts the game most.

Tharsis is FTL for real cosmonauts who know problems are solved by random dice throw and by marginal ability to strategize in unclear situations. And it's funny!

Witty and undemanding game where the right tactics wins over the simple mouse-clicking your opponent to death. If you like Rocky or Blood Sport movies, and somewhere deep inside you lies a desire to become a champion, you definitely have to play the Punch Club.

The lack of content is only but formidable flaw of otherwise very successful Truck Simulator.

Especially fans of the first episodes will enjoy this less known Resident Evil Zero episode – they would be more willing to forgive the outdated game design, heavy-handed controls and not-so-useful companion. If you enjoyed Resident Evil HD Remaster, RE Zero deserves your attention.

The return of a classic builds its foundations not only on nostalgia, but works fine also on the ground. The campaign draws you in no matter the issues with controls and AI, but the satisfactory lifespan could be achieved only if the devs give the game more support and open the game to mod community.

Darkest Dungeon is a great example that some things are worth waiting. The game occasionally gets repeatable and some of its mechanics do not reach their full potential, but even so it is an extremely funny and addictive RPG.

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.

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.

Funny at some moments, but more often annoying and frustrating stealth platformer. Only hardcore fans of Assassin’s Creed should look for it – and even they should consider the buy.

Funny, sweet and charming is the detective humoresque with two birds in the roles of the snoopers. The new adventure perfectly resembles the life in the 19th century and will address all lovers of an unobtrusive humor, history and slower pace of the game.

This year's combination of small improvements and innovations creates an excellent experience, that helps the newcomers join in. The veterans will be on other hand pleased with clarity and overall balance. It’s not a revolution -thankfully- because revolution could cause more harm in the moment.

A small step for mankind, one giant leap for the series. WRC 5 is heading in the right direction with new owner. It's something between evolution and continental drift. It depends on you how much of a rally-hungry you are before the start of the new season.

Ugly, unattractive and annoying is your municipal career in the Cityconomy strategy simulation game. Simulation of the municipal services is about as fun as if you actually provide them.

Episode Two is obviously shorter but still enjoyable and entertaining. It offers great voice acting and an outstanding plot again. Something doesn’t work as intended yet we can recommend the Rubble Without a Cause to all adventure players.

One of the best games of the year and in many ways a work of art proves the rule "never judge a book by its cover." Undertale is not for everyone and it works better without any spoilers, but it is a title – without an exaggeration – like no other.

Although the game itself can’t be saved, it is necessary to admit, that the penultimate episode of the series is the most successful yet.

Old hit remaster doesn’t offer enough of a new content to justify its price. So you can consider DII: DE only if you have no previous experience with Darksiders II – and you should because the age didn’t hurt the game at all.

Valhalla Hills is good, but too shallow successor to Settlers. Caring for the Viking nation will entertain you for a moment (at least visually), but otherwise the game lacks content to utilize all the game mechanics properly.

Fans of great and unusual stories (but also games that do not give anything for free) should give Pathologic HD chance - they must just swallow the fact the visuals are obsolete and the gameplay is also quite minimalistic.
