There is a certain magic in a venerable series like Close Combat becoming wholly 3D, but the AI is as weak as it’s ever been. Well, at least it’s still intense, strategic fun.

A challenging simulator of one of the world’s most dangerous sports. Its handling is unrivalled and the game is difficult enough to truly test you. There’s not enough singleplayer content, however, and the game is not in the best of shapes, with framerate drops and other issues.

The base is solid, so are the minigames, but the resulting experience just isn’t deep enough for you to care about for more than a few hours. There’s no career mode and, what’s even more inexplicable, local multiplayer only supports two players. At least there’s a solid editor.

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.

Crazy uprising of ancient Greeks against their gods has wit and style. Unfortunately, the furious action runs out soon. Okhlos as an unusual interpretation of the Greek myths is great fun, but just for a while.

The definition of mediocrity. An inoffensive but overly cautious spin-off that sticks rigidly to metroidvania conventions without stepping out of the shadow of its iconic name. In strong competition, it feels interchangeable and lacks the courage to innovate. Competent but unremarkable.

Amnesia: The Bunker deviates from the rest of the series. This is not a linear story game, more of a semi-open world horror in which you’re hunted by a terrible beast. Once you see through the tricks, however, the illusion of fear is gone and a horrifying WWI bunker becomes just a corridor full of locked doors.

An effortless divine strategy game with attractive retro graphics which, however, lasts only for a few hours of fun mouse clicking.

A slightly above-average realtime strategy does not reach the quality of its predecessors. Although it looks wonderful, it’s flawed by the design decisions like no cover, low stamina units or the only one MP mode.

A fun little game, but far too short and without any challenge at all. Do you want to relax and gaze upon lovely illustrations? Don’t hesitate. But if you want to actually play a game, look elsewhere.

Intrude is an ideal piece for fans of old-school shooters. Do not expect nothing more than a solid, monotonous after a while and often challenging fun for a few hours, however.

Codemasters managed to create the perfect racing atmosphere, utilizing a top-notch driving model and excellent AI, but then they kind of forgot about everything else: the car pool is tiny, the Career Mode is non-existent, the team management is lacklustre.

Pokémon GO isn't really good in communication with players, does not run smoothly and an additional content is necessary. It's a mix of augmented reality and the desire to catch all the popular Pokémon, however, provides a pleasant feeling of discovery, you hardly get anywhere else.

Miasma Chronicles tries to tell an epic story but fails. It does some things better than its predecessors, and some worse. There are slight technical issues. The combat system is fun, thankfully, as is the exploration which will be your two main activities anyway. The world is well crafted, but the protagonists are extremely annoying.

A beautiful, colourful game for children which will teach you so much about bees, wasps and other creatures and is cute and fun to boot. You can almost feel the excitement with which this game was made - as evident as the plainly unfulfilled potential.

It’s too rusty for new players, too shallow and incomplete for veterans. Ninja Gaiden will have to transform itself significantly in order to attract a new generation of fighters.

Game of Thrones adventure series still feels as an inexpensive tag for the TV series even after the fourth episode. It's not bad, but the universe of G. R. R. Martin's books deserves better.

Childhood fairy-tale might not return, but some popular games may even in their full glory. Unfortunately, also with issues in the game's unpolished code, dysbalanced units balance and half-breed campaign.

A visually breathtaking boxing trip to neverland. However, the original game's concept has not fundamentally changed, and even with few of its innovations the game does not appear confident enough.

A society with lost privacy is doomed. Unfortunately, this poetic message is not enough to make an entertaining game. Remember Me needs one more instalment to enhance its gameplay.

The wait for Skull and Bones was exceptionally long, leading to both exaggerated and non-existent expectations. The outcome falls in line with this mixed anticipation—enjoyable at times, particularly when engaging in sailing, battles, and exploring the world. However, it's hard to ignore the missing elements, the heavy grind, and the overall repetitiveness, coupled with some notable bugs. It's not a game for everyone, certainly not the game of the decade or a dream come true for treasure hunters and pirate role-players. There's a feeling it could have been much better. Yet, with more immersion, especially if you enjoy the theme and don't mind the action-grinding style, it can be surprisingly rewarding. The real test will be in the coming months to see if additional content justifies sticking with the game.

A decent but badly composed document, a decent but not exceptional game nowadays. Partially, its weaknesses were not visible until today, partially, the game's cosmetic improvements are accentuating or directly responsible for them. And even those are quite questionable.

Spacecom is a well-made space strategy game – minimalistic, bold, and bewitching at first sight. It makes use of simple gaming principles you manage to create sophisticated strategic approaches with, and thanks to them you crush your opponents. For what it is worth, the heart of the game is multiplayer, and few people actually play it.

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.

A beautiful vision of a busy cyberpunk city that doesn’t revolve around the main heroine but actually lives and breathes according to its own rules. It’s a shame that there are so many problems underneath the glorious facade - mainly a shallow story and dumb game mechanics.

The perfect collection of police cliches that entertains with its exaggeration and with grace admitting its sources of inspiration. Unfortunately, it is only a nice cover the core is missing. Despite its potential, the game offers just an average action entertainment, entertainment that vanishes with repeatable use of the same mechanics.

Top-down action, which at first glance looks a bit like Hotline Miami. However, it's slower, sometimes unreasonably difficult and often doesn't worry about being fair. Many won't like it, mainly because of constant tries and fails, others will love it for the same reason. Generally, the game is slightly above average.

Iratus could have been a worthy successor to Darkest Dungeon, but is cast down into the swamps of mediocrity by its monotonous, boring battles.

If we look at it from the perspective of a five-year=old boy, fascinated by the fact that he could control his movie heroes, it could be one of the best racing games of the year. But even from general perspective, Cars 2 is a very simple but enjoyable game and one of the better ones in the childrens games category.

An enjoyable stealth action game that has its flaws and will delight stealth enthusiasts above all. Ereban: Shadow Legacy presents an intriguing story with multiple endings, solid gameplay, and nice stylization. However, the game does not deviate from established genre standards, and its rough, unpolished edges are a bit too conspicuous.

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.

Although Phantaruk suffers from several errors, including obsolete visuals, it brings up some great horror situations in which you will tremble with fear. Just do not expect much more from the game.

Nice setting with unfulfilled potential. Stereotypical gameplay and bad dialogues destroy the atmosphere and interesting story.

Almost an abusive downloadable content trading on the very own content of ArmA 2 without scruples. Still, it's appropriate to recommend this game to those admirers of ArmA 2 and its air missions with the Hind helicopter. Setting and pilot in the Take On Helicopter game is working better and it's even more catchy than in ArmA.

Grow Up has more content, offers more game elements, but also more boredom than its predecessor. You can find the pros from the first game also in sequel, but all planned improvements are more damaging than improving.

Action platformer set in Japan needed a few more months of work to reach the top, another writer and a bit more of creativity. Its main advantage is a successful fighting system.

A branching story with interesting twists and turns, along with co-op multiplayer, means that The Last Oricru is a better game than it would’ve been otherwise. It is, however, dragged down by technical issues and some bad design choices.

The Masterplan cries the tears of its wasted potential. When it is working as supposed, it is a pleasure to play. But unfortunately it does not happen often enough.

Focusing on combat, dull story and conflicts with immersing players into the game make the first part of The White March expansion a wasted opportunity. Nevertheless it offers a good entertainment for those who still can not get enough of the original game (and its combat system).

At first glance you see a nice strategy game that's been, however, dragged down by several design decisions that would possibly bring an international train into collapse, and I don't even talk about your wits and patience. Game's replayability goes hand in hand with immense frustration of uneven gameplay.

Although it is heavily inspired in design of Angry Birds, Orbitalis is too unpredictable physics puzzle game to attract the broad masses of players. For orbital mechanics fans the game still offers a decent portion of fun.

The NeocoreGames studio tried to refresh the functional concept we were used to by making it less fun and less interesting. The playgrounds are great, and the Warhammer world can pull you in, but the gameplay is quickly depleted due to "innovations" and the Martyr turns into a boring grind.

Cradle successfully combines a strange world with mysterious story and beautiful design. But the actual game principles are, unfortunately, lagging behind.

Infinite Warfare got unleashed and it helped at least the single-player campaign and the Zombies mode. Neither of these however, offers enough joy to compete with other current games. Multiplayer is indeed robust, but quite common and, moreover, it suffers from several annoying bugs. In addition, the technical issues cripple the overall experience.

We had pretty low expectations and we got what we thought we would. This is a game of clashing ideas - and many of them aren’t even executed well enough. It’s got tempo, at least, and can be fun in small doses.

An engaging space shooter with high difficulty level, slightly repeating environment, and decent level design that does not walk around the custom practice of the genre. Fans of the series are going to really enjoy this. However, the rest of you should look elsewhere.

A truly crazy zombie slasher that's putting the absurd style of the main heroine and the game's fetishistic stylization of a lollipop flavour up to the front. If you have a look at the actual gameplay, you get a sinusoid of a stereotype and enjoyment, up and down, up and down. If this kind of style and humour suits you, try it. However, do not expect Dead Rising out of it, this is really different.

The developers of Soulstice are clearly overflowing with ideas - but they should ask themselves whether all of them are good. The fights could use some trimming of annoying features, the game as a whole tends to slip into boredom and predictability. Maybe next time!

Mordheim: City of the Damned is a turn-based game raised slightly above average thanks to a gripping environment of the abandoned city and unique stories your group can experience there.

The game with beautiful, although not very original visuals offers some interesting ideas, but also a number of design errors. It is pleasant to play the game and it pleases with several successful parts, but in the bottom line it does not match the quality of its predecessors.

A pleasant surprise for all those fans of the genre, who play the Civilization game mainly for its battle component - those players will get their satisfaction here. However, the rest of them will strongly feel the absence of the other gaming elements. On top of that they will most likely dislike the game's cheating AI, no hotkeys availability along with the game's very few options as to how to win the game.

SteamWorld Dig is an extract of pure fun from discovering the space beneath our feet. You are going to tremble, rejoice or erupt with anger down there, but unfortunately, your emotions won't last long. The game lacks features as well as value.

A picturesque city-building strategy game by a one-man developer team only, which mixes complex city-building features with brutal struggle for survival. Banished will initially flog you, then blow your mind. However, it will bore you eventually.

A Soviet world supremacy has combined with a tale of a saved space female dog. The Sun at Night is a wonderful mixture of real history and fantasy. Nonetheless, a mere idea won't make a great game. Its frustrating gameplay that has been caused by design failures should warn you.

It could be a great cheesy robbery, if the ideas were not stolen from the competition. Ethan: Meteor Hunter is a solid platformer, but it lacks the character and exceptionality.

Faithful adaptation of the famous novel, which can show off with successful atmosphere and excellent work with the texts. The rest, however, is not very interesting and the game suffers with many technical problems.

The Baconing is yet another strange tale of anti-hero DeathSpank you know so well from first two games. He hasn't changed a bit which means, that you can once again set out for short adventure full of sarcasm, anti-cliché jokes and slightly better than average gameplay. The Baconing will entertain you quite well for short period of time, but soon enough, jokes stops to be funny and gameplay turns in to an ordinary grind.

Disney Infinity is an interesting combination of toys and games. However, its digital part is behind the real one because of the game's not very intuitive controls and its several other flaws. The game is more suited for hands of adults and passionate collectors than for those of the small children.

The original concept and realistic infiltration design is ruined by plenty of errors, repulsive plot and rarely functioning multiplayer. Despite all this flaws, fans of stealth games should still pay attention to Clandestine.

Secrets of Rætikon is a highly atmospheric but not so addicting action game portraying animal life that is filled with puzzles and surprises. You will get this game, or reject it. Its form is above its content.

A likeable little game with the original idea proving definitely your both hands are left. If you approach the game with exaggeration, you won't regret your time nor your money. And that you are full of remorse because you murdered your patients in cold blood? Well, everyone has to start somehow. So grab your scalpel firmly and cut where it moves!

Frantic action arcade Clustertruck will teach you how to jump on trucks, which is hilarious. But very sad is its technical quality. Due to the general lack of any QA testing, fun is soon replaced with anger and frustration.

Peter Molyneux will retell you the tale you heard ten years ago for the first time. The game's package is prettier than ever before indeed, but its content is exactly the same, and unfortunately, it seems that all its glittering novelties are not without technical issues.

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.

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.

At first glance an unprecedented story-telling and visually impressive survival, at the second glance, a somehow unfinished work, where you often run, craft and die for no reason.

Vampyr can bewitch with its atmosphere and conquer with the skillful delivery of a quality story. However, the RPG and action parts didn´t succeed, and the intended main pull in the form of heavy choices, whom to kill and whom to let live, is also lost to the lack of impact of your action. Although the game can entertain in the end, it often disappoints instead.

Of Ash and Steel is a conflicted RPG that stands out thanks to its grounded exploration of a distinctly European-flavored fantasy world and a functional character progression system. At its best, it feels like a return to older-school RPG design, though this impression is repeatedly undermined by frequent technical issues, broken quests, and illogical quality-of-life decisions. The game’s ambitions clearly exceed its execution.

The great potential of the game on hunters and victims has not been used. Murderous Pursuits would need more content, technical care and, ultimately, players to escape the stereotype.

This is a bang average dog-fighting game. It tries to hide its dullness behind a facade of high fantasy, but that’s just a cosmetic choice without any real impact on gameplay. The missions start to repeat themselves very soon and the second you tire of the beautiful graphics, you’ll just wish to fly away.

There is no succeed in a return of scripted scenarios of Men of War game. Not even a new attractive background is helping it. The game is dumped by a small number of scenarios and their unbalanced difficulty. You may still enjoy a few of its hot moments, but it's not enough to draw your attention from the essentially better game – Men of War: Assault Squad.

After three years of waiting, we’re getting a promising but unpolished farming game with a host of aging systems in dire need of updating. Even so, virtual farmers will happily spend hundreds of hours here.

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.

Heart of the Forest is a unique game from the creators of the first Witcher. It’s basically a gamebook, which will turn away many, but the much bigger problem is its lacklustre ending. If you, however, crave a dark story in the middle of an ancient forest, this could be the adventure for you.

Do we finally get a successor to the brilliant Inside? Unfortunately not. Stela can conjure up a great atmosphere thanks to its interesting environments and a tense soundtrack, but is let down by imprecise controls and puzzles relying on failure.

This cyberpunk RTS may be fresh and unconventional in terms of setting, but there are too many gameplay and technical flaws. It’s pretty to look at and listen to, but that doesn’t compensate for poor story and weak AI.

From the execution of hockey matches point of view NHL 15 presents a solid ground for the years to come. However, the Ignite engine is not showing itself to the full, therefore NHL 15 looks like a half-baked release. A lack of game modes, lots of technical issues and trimmed gameplay possibilities are here to remind us how much we have been spoiled by the previous instalments, and how much we miss such care.

The new Until Dawn offers visual upgrades and a few additional scenes, but at its core, it remains the same game as the original 2015 version. Unstable 30 FPS and a high price make this upgrade hard to justify, especially if you already own the game. Unless you're a die-hard fan or waiting for a discount, I recommend sticking with the original version.

A follow-up to the Dragon Ball beat them up world that will engage only those fanatical fans of the series. Otherwise, it's a dreary and straight-lined hack and slash action game that will never be more than that, even with its option to play as villains, which is attractive only at first sight.

Dirt 5 drives in a completely opposite direction to Dirt Rally 2.0. The driving model is disappointingly simple, and the career is just plain boring. At least there are many cars to choose from and hours to spend in the track editor. And the best thing about this game? Its weather effects are simply breath-taking.

It's clearly visible that authors of The LEGO Movie Videogame rushed its development to release it simultaneously with the movie. Therefore it lacks quality of the other LEGO games. Nonetheless, it serves fine as the movie's appendix.

At the first glance funny and good looking honor to the golden era of real-time strategy turns out to be a wildly over-complex, and thus fatally unbalanced. From the average or below-average experience game is saved by the campaign and the fact, that within the RTS genre there isn’t much better choice currently.

Destiny is more of a promising future than a truly absorbing game everyone enjoys from the very beginning. Its lack of game content along with its merciless repetition and grinding are spoiling a good impression of well-elaborated action.

An adventure game from a first-person perspective where a player explores a parody on the 60' that is full of robots, secret agents, and absurdist humour? Great! However, the final outcome is staggering because of its game parody approach.

When it comes to physics and the driving simulation it fuels, Overpass is a great off-road experience, basically unlike any other racing game. But the career mode gets stale very quickly, the tuning falls flat on its face and the fixed camera is criminally frustrating.

Creators of the Sherlock franchise have hurled themselves into a watery abyss full of monsters and completely drowned their own brilliant investigative formula. The world is open, but terribly empty, the fights are dull, and the RPG mechanisms are lacking. Only the investigation remains fun - and it is not enough.

The return of the legendary underwater shooter isn’t as stunning as it could have been. The fights are difficult and a lot of fun, but the missions themselves are quite boring - as is the loot and the environment.

Trine 3 offers an equally enjoyable gaming experience as both previous two installments, particularly in coop mode. Unfortunately, it suffers of the technical errors, lack of content and rather unnecessary implementation of 3D environment.

Are you a tank enthusiast? If the answer is yes, Tank Mechanic Simulator will make you smile as you dig out, renovate and exhibit your own iconic machine. But you’ll also be bored by bland assignments that always repeat themselves and never end.

An MMORPG with great potential - but there’s so much work to be done. It is, however, already highly addictive for those who are patient and forgiving.

The Curious Expedition is an expedition into uncharted areas, you can enjoy in a couple of hours a week. Using in larger quantities reveals the problem with content and soon magic associated with discoveries fades.

Not a particularly tedious action game with hack 'n' slash principles will seize you with its randomly-generated locations, wit, challenge and unusual low price. Afterwards, however, the game will disappoint you with its mechanics and ton of bugs.

Grimshade is not a bad game per se. It even boasts some fine, original ideas. The execution, however, is very flawed and the game cannot compete with other, more accomplished JRPGs.

Supermassive Games don’t know where to go. They made some changes trying to find their lost recipe for success but that cannot save the weak scares and unlikeable characters.

A fair shooter that's been lifted among the above-average titles by its impressive background and several action scenes. This is an outstanding tour for the Aliens (even Alien) fans; for the other gamers it's slightly problematic, still quite a tasty canapé.

The Good Life unfortunately isn’t very good. It’s a thoroughly average game supported by a few good storylines and the personality of its author.

Still Wakes the Deep feels more like a film than a game. Its very simple gameplay sometimes obstructs and delays the well-written mysterious story that focuses on human minds. This harrowing horror shines best in moments without interaction, supported by excellent visuals and top-notch voice acting. It would work much better as a different medium.
