Tower defense specialists behind the mind-bogglingly successful Kingdom Rush series are trying something fresh - a roguelike turn-based strategy based on heroes and their abilities. It’s fun but also tends to be quite random in what it throws at you and is overall a bit too simplistic for the PC platform.

A last year's model that's been brushed off, proving that bigger is not always better. This one serves well while waiting for the next "big" Resident Evil title. But if you skip this chapter, you'll feel no remorse. Especially when you think about that wide horizon of zombie games that are much more effective.

An unfortunate collection of great games. The individual Sonic titles are fine, as fun as they always have been throughout the years. The collection in itself doesn’t really add anything, however, and is really pricey for what it offers.

Team Sonic Racing is competent and fun, but also unimaginative and uninteresting. You’re not going to love it, you’re not going to hate it - you’re simply going to shrug.

Layers of Fear 2 is trying to spice up its walk of horror by action sequences, but this innovation doesn’t really work and the atmosphere, while truly scary, can’t carry the whole game on its back.

These truck races don’t know whether they’re an arcade game or a simulation, but one thing is certain: While the singleplayer career is good, the multiplayer component is a total mess.

The game suffers from being too like the previous one, there is a simplification where it was not needed, and finally it offers little varied content. To learn about the tragic fate of survivors through texts only can still make up a strong atmosphere that you can hardly experience elsewhere, but the potential is wasted and after the first couple entertaining hours the stereotype takes place.

This is not a Chinese Blade Runner. You might be forgiven for thinking so after the brilliant beginning, but it goes downhill rapidly, folding under the weight of boredom and frustration. Regardless, fans of cyberpunk and absurd humor might find something to like here.

This is a deeply average stealth game, its saving graces being only the very unconventional topic, open narrative structure and competent acting.

Building your own Dino Park may be more fun than last time and the game is beautiful, with a certain cinematic quality to it, but there are just too many missteps, both connected to game design and technical in nature. Unless you absolutely adore dinosaurs, just play Planet Zoo.

If you have the urge to put yourself in sow's place, and protect your cubs on a road through the forest full of uninteresting obstacles, then Shelter is a good choice for you. Otherwise, try to read the Adams' Watership Down classic adventure novel.

StarCrawlers is a space-punk dungeon crawler that offers a great atmosphere, a splendid combat system, an engaging set-up and a rather interesting story. Besides several minor flaws, the major fun killer is an unfortunate focus on the procedurally generated content that can‘t compete with manually created work yet.

An experiment that has got out of its developers' hands, and that is too much for them. Amnesia along with Dear Esther are the inspiration here, but it's not played well enough like in those games. If you've never played Amnesia, and you would like to take a look at a small sample of it, A Machine for Pigs is worth it. If you have, consider your purchase carefully (or wait for a discount).

This game is, unfortunately, buggy and broken. It was unable to fully utilize its time in early access, but you can still find moments of genuine fun if you look hard enough.

The glamorized sequel of the sandbox space simulation known as Space Rangers is expanded by expansion packs' content, along with higher resolution. Even though the game delivers literally hundreds of hours of entertainment, many of the game's elements are like from the stone age, including all the negatives from the original title. Fans of the hardcore experiences will enjoy this the same way as the previous installments.

A beautiful looking remaster which doesn’t manage to significantly upgrade its source material in aspects other than graphics. Only faithful Final Fantasy VII fans who didn’t get to play it on the PSP will leave truly satisfied.

Some flaws present in the first installment disappeared, three characters offer three unique style of gameplay, and this is still absurdly funny entertainment. However, unbalanced enemies and the absence of any crucial novelties whatsoever that would push the game anywhere further, harm the game experience. It is more of the same, but without the moment of surprise. Nonetheless, fans of the original title have nothing to think about – for them there is a fair amount of entertainment lasting for several afternoons.

A relaxing alchemy shop simulator in which you actually brew all the concoctions yourself. The game feels unfinished, however, and misses a way to make the manual brewing process less tedious. It slows down about halfway through and turns into a grind.

The Wild Age honours its source material and the move to a 3D environment makes sense. The game can be immensely enjoyable for the first few hours but that gives way to bland routine later.

The old design failures are still here, coupled with new ones - mainly annoying bugs. It’s true, however, that some parts of the game, namely its graphics, are far better than they used to be. There is still a place in this world for Rome.

In a horrendous package, Consortium hurts your feelings, and dresses you in a futuristic uniform, in which you'll feel the impact of your decisions, so you'll get to know slightly different stories. In any case, prepare for many uncomfortable compromises.

An inconsistent spin-off of the popular series for a powerful handheld is like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. There are moments when Aveline shows off her face, but there are also moments of her kicking your face with some technical issues. At the end of the day the game is above average - sometimes it's great, sometimes it's frustrating. It could have hit the spot, if more care had been put into it.

An entertaining and functional enhancement, which, however, must build on the original game's not very stable foundations. It's more of a quantity and building diversity extension than an answer to the game's most poignant problems along with its limitations.

Fly-proof Bomberman's gameplay never grows old. Even this time it works out well, despite the occasional stumbles over confusing arenas. The biggest issue of the game is its outrageous price.

Humor is sometimes tough to get right. You have to pace it right and you shouldn’t overdo it. Justin Roiland and co. unfortunately throw it at you in mindless spades and hope something sticks. And underneath it all? Just a very average shooter.

A game adapts the basic mechanics from the Souls series successfully, and offers working fighting system, but fails to bring the catchy charm that glorified original have. Unnecessarily high difficulty, inconsistent design decisions, stereotype and boring environment make the game only a dull average piece.

An entertaining balancing of a city budget and a flourishing metropolis resulting in a cheerful feeling is being destroyed by its need to build up several cities from the very beginning and by its not so user friendly road / whole city blocks construction.

1849 is a management strategy game with an interesting theme but very narrow-minded and monotonous gameplay. It might suffice for mobile platforms, however, you will soon feel bored on PC.

This new Warcraft III is still a brilliant strategy game, much prettier than before. But it’s also much more broken, full of irritating bugs and broken promises. What’s more, it murdered its older brother.

This remaster simply increased resolution and added minor cosmetic improvements, but at its core, this is a very old strategy game which will frustrate most modern players.

Humorously, Old Time Hockey revolts against the hegemony of the NHL series. The atmosphere of a sympathetic sport arcade that does not take everything too seriously is worthwhile. Can’t say the same about its gameplay, which suffers from insensitive controls, weak artificial intelligence, and poorly built game motivation.

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.

Sometimes, beautiful graphics and interesting dice-based combat just aren’t enough, like here, where the story is weak, the humour is hit and miss and the sense of progress is non- existent. This game is strictly worse than Dicey Dungeons.

It’s really pretty to look at, but at its core, Jump Force is an unimaginative, derivative, distinctly average fighting game. It could potentially interest hardcore manga and anime fans thanks to its myriad characters, but that’s about it.

FlatOut 4 is an average racing game that lacks the passion for on-the-edge driving. Once the famous demolition series denied itself when you're now afraid to smash into anything.

This season update doesn’t bring anything new - not even correct rosters for the new season, which it really should include. But if you haven’t played the previous instalment, this is a fine way to cheaply acquire a great football game.

Space Hulk: Deathwing is an action with a great atmosphere and design that authentically returns the world of Warhammer 40,000 to the spotlights. Unfortunately this is the only "plus" of the game. Everything else is mired in problems. Technically the game is still a beta version and its poor action mechanics kill all the fun.

Metamorphosis is a true homage to the works of Franz Kafka… but at the same time, it’s not a very good game. Try it out if you adore Kafka already, but everybody else should grab one of his books instead.

The physics of huge vehicles are as brilliant as ever and the map of Chernobyl is okay, but the rest of the game just isn’t up to scratch.

Faster, Baby! is a story-based DLC that offers catastrophically little content for its cost. Focus on the action is not bad at all, but besides the pitiful length, it has ordinary story, an open world without any meaning and a bunch of nonsenses. All in all, we’ve got an average piece once again.

This is a sample of an average hack and slash game of the ancient Rome era with the overpolished graphics, that gets on PC thanks to the well-made conversion. Unfortunately, on the inside it is still that empty game like it was a year ago.

This mix of a strategy, role-playing and text-adventure game has its strong story moments with its quite often entertaining battles. On the grounds of these facts it's a pity the game is being struck down by pointless linearity and a noticeable game elements imbalance.

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.

Picturesque Chinese scenery can’t hide the cheap playability. In short 2.5D Assassin's Creed for less than twelve bucks.

The exploring horror game is inspired by real events and offers a great chilling atmosphere. Gameplay part of the horror is merely average unfortunately.

This experience will be worthwhile only for the most hardcore of Cyanide & Happiness fans. It’s not a very good adventure game and it’s not very funny.

The huge potential of surprisingly realistic survival game suffers from obsolete visuals, even though it’s on purpose here. The gameplay is downgraded by the boring mini games –the become boring due to a lack of new elements in the second part of a game. The game-improving highlights are a storytelling, voice acting, ambient sounds and fantastic music. Walden has the best chance of succeeding with Thoreau fans, both new and orthodox (they should stay alert though).

The game almost exactly the same as the four-years-old first part with all its advantages and disadvantages. The entertaining cooperative mode is again the best part of the game.

Once fresh diablo-like game has consumed all its powers and the finish line see it barely limping. Hopefully the last adventure of Van Helsing is so-so mediocre and does not offer anything new, we didn’t see before. Moreover, it is considerably more linear. To put it simply, the third episode ran out of steam, it lacks drive and it's just an ordinary hack’n’slash game.

Not “bravely”, just “default”. You will, once again, enjoy the excellent combat system but that’s not going to keep you satisfied for 50 hours, is it? And the rest of the game is just way too bland, repetitive, unbalanced and poorly narrated.

A rather unnecessary DLC, basically one long quest populated by badly written characters you won’t care a whit about. It’s just more of the same, without surprise or meaningful reward - the only people who will enjoy this are true hardcore fans of the original game.

The Telltale developers show you can made a surprisingly functional narrative game even without the story. The fact that "it works" doesn´t automatically mean it is also terribly funny. The first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode relies on way-too-familiar gameplay, primitive humor, dull dialogues and predictable plot. So the result is unfortunately quite boring. Perhaps next time it will be more thrilling ride.

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.

Average platformer in all aspects. Only rock fans of Mega Maga will have a mercy with it perhaps.

The unique invention of a beautifully gloomy RPG is ruined by the essential technical issues. Whether they are tedious controls or its embarrassing visuals on the touch screen, the tablet version simply upsets in a different way than the creators intended.

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.

This turn-based game with both a no copy-and-paste theme, even today, and an interesting battle system unfortunately lacks more in-depth game mechanics, and you can see the authors are inexperienced and they lack of funds.

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.

Sonic’s open world feels half dead, full of boring activities, tedious bosses and awful graphics. The undeniable potential has been squandered. Well, maybe next time. How often do we say this when talking about Sonic?

An entertaining minimalist stealth action game ending way before it actually starts rocking. If the authors had spent more time with it and thus gave us more game levels, we could be talking about a great experience, not the short-lived experiment.

The Gear.Club is as an excellent mobile racing game, as a the Gear.Club Unlimited is a bad console port. The pros that work great in the free-to-play mobile model are not enough for the console audience. The game suffers from repulsive visuals, a poor car selection, bugs, but above all an unsatisfactory driving model. If you don´t need to play some racing game right now, just wait for another one. Otherwise, Gear.Club Unlimited will not offer you much, only little entertainment, if you are indulgent.

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.

Even the tinsel of the Star Wars world cannot hide the silly story and the boring singleplayer gameplay, or the necessity to accumulate the credits in the crate hunting in multiplayer. Battlefront II pleases as a genuine shooter in the beautiful scenery, but EA should deserve a slap into the face for their mad progression system.

Saints Row rebooted itself and lost much more of its charm than it’d care to admit. The new heroes aren’t likeable, they aren’t funny, and the whole game feels stuck in the previous decade. And it’s full of technical problems, too.

A mediocre collection of XBLA games by Capcom. It includes decent pieces of work, however, they fall from grace in comparison to the rest of the games that's been made defective and that's been put into this collection as a padding as far as I'm concerned. This collection is still worth your money, but it's not worth enough.

After a decade of Cortex Command development we've lived to see its "final" version. That alone is a cause to rejoice. Unfortunately, you will be merry until the very moment when you find out the game is still a semi-finished product with a hint of great gameplay.

Cities XXL is itself a solid strategy. The city, that you can build, is really XXL. Bugs are annoying, but you can live with it. Worse is, that the game is the same as its predecessor. Without exaggeration. Almost exactly the same.

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.

For the idea of a blind girl hero and bits of Bioshock, the game would deserve nine out of ten. Everything else, unfortunately, it is an average game that can be attractive only to the fans of horror games.

Of Orcs and Men looks like a promising and fair game, but only for a couple of minutes and thanks to the effort that's been put into the perfect stylization. Afterwards, there's just boring gameplay you will try to endure because of the storyline pieces. The truly important game elements have been killed to no avail by an attempt for innovation that is a failure.

This game is uninteresting, badly-written and maybe even more badly put together. The game code is average in every way, and like it's not enough you'll have your game experience ruined by many many flaws along with many unfinished things on top of that. If you are losing faith in modern FPS actions, do not play this - you will feel much worse about the genre.

A good-looking game with great voice acting and interesting characters. Your own choices, however, don’t matter at all, there’s no gameplay to speak of and the story itself is rather bland.

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.

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.

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!

The imaginative mix at the first sight but the makers didn't finish their job fully. The game keeps your attention for only a short time, after a while it begins repeat itself.

A mediocre and too simplistic game piece leaving you buying some more fleets moreover. Its single-player campaign is anything but gaming world-shaking. The only positive is its multiplayer 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.

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.

A sloppy job done by the developers of Euro-licensed UEFA Euro 2012 is nothing more than an over combined gaming mode with the Czech national team. If you truly don't long for new graphics and the logo of this year's European Football Championship, save your money and keep playing FIFA 12.

An average city action that can't be broken even by competent fights and an interesting story with a unique villain. Gotham Knights is a time killer with boring activities in a pathetically dead city, terrible controls, wasted potential and a lackluster graphical presentation. The game feels like the work of tie-breakers who have to look up the word "fun" in the dictionary.

A short, uninteresting demo that isn’t even capable of really showcasing the power of next-gen consoles.

Star Hammer has all the good components of a comprehensive and entertaining strategy, but its design is totally unsuitable for the overwhelming majority of missions, that appear later in the game. Hand in hand with bugs the originally entertaining small fleet commanding turns to unplayable piece.

Action RPG with an interesting tactical potential. Disastrously unconsidered design, however, drags the game into an average.

Pretty colours, smell of spice, they couldn’t dull my senses enough to not notice all of Venba’s imperfections. The characters aren’t very nice, the conversations tend to say nothing of substance, the story never reaches the required depths. But it’s short enough for it to be a cute visit of Indian culture and cuisine.

Is Dontnod Entertainment a one-hit wonder? It seems so, judging by those past few years. Twin Mirror is a bang average adventure game you’ll finish in one forgettable afternoon.

A game typical of its developer, Spiders. Huge ambitions, attractive environments, lots of great ideas… but it’s all put together in exactly the wrong way. Give GreedFall a chance only if you’re willing to put up with an average game.

The failures of Legion lie at its very heart, in the option to play as anybody you want. The only way to recommend this game? Try it out if you wish to virtually visit a beautiful, faithfully recreated London.

An inconsistent World War 2 shooter that has been overtaken by unfinished AI, halfway decent game mechanics, and short gameplay duration. It would like to measure itself against distinctively more expensive game production, however, it is revealing its weaknesses all the more. Enemy Front is like universal brown sauce (UBS) – it does not have distinctive flavour whatsoever, and the next day after you finish the game – you will most likely not even remember it.

Likable, but sterile manager, whose realism, does not benefit only from the NHL license, but it lacks many important features and it´s lifeless. An interesting competition for Eastside Hockey Manager, but it needs more time.

Compose music like a bricklayer builds a house! Fract teaches gamers to feel the sound truly spatially – you will even touch it innumerable times. Nonetheless, the game has very thick scales, and among its complicated puzzles it has lost its power to entertain.

Ambitious but broken. Beautiful but full of mistakes. That is Empire of Sin, a disappointing mobster tale from the days of the Prohibition.

An ordinary game coming out from the original recognized board game. The only thing driving you forward is your effort to beat the game's developers who have chosen to create a hardcore turn-based strategy game after lots of trial and error. There's nothing more to it.

A survival with a fascinating setting and fresh ideas that is horribly let down by its endless repetition.

Simple arcade game with relatively addicting gameplay which suffers from a severe lack of content. In this case it's quite a fundamental problem.

The biggest advantage of No Time To Explain Remastered is, that the game finally works. Otherwise it's only funny, but too short platformer, what is easily lost in the crowd of similar titles.

It is a great pity that Grasshopper did not manage to match so masterly created environment and a story packed with black humour with a game of appropriate quality. Each of the great ideas is almost perfectly drowned in a flood of incomprehensible errors.

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.
