A horror game hiding a fact behind great promises, that its developers did not even try to try. Its gameplay is dumb at the best. Its story will scare you only if you fear trivial kitsch, and there is no next-gen not even when looking from afar. At least the game won't take you long...

Promising, but unfinished in every direction. That's Symmetry. A survival game without which you can definitely survive.

Hedgehogs, mosquitoes, caves, rocks, jumping over branches, but no mechanism you would say "yes, it is a great thing that can make a good game." So again: As a mobile game for a few Euros - why not. But as a desktop game? Waste of time that you can spend with better pieces. I named a few of them, so if you have not played them yet, go try them.

Exceptionally bad game, exceptionally interesting passionate feat. Rememoried is often beyond good taste of interactive entertainment, its exploratory surrealism is pushed ad absurdum, but it is certainly interesting. But the level walkthrough is so unspeakable bad it prevents to enjoy the game at least a little.

A forced remake of that great RPG game. You'll be fine, if you just buy the original title.

Escape from Tarkov offers a unique and extremely intense gameplay experience driven by its atmosphere and the constant tension of every shootout. However, this potentially outstanding experience is systematically undermined by a catastrophic technical state, unstable servers, cheaters, and a design that too often confuses “hardcore” with outright hostility toward the player. The result is a game that comes close to legendary status more because of its reputation than the actual quality of its 1.0 version.

Robust driving model, game content senselessly cut-off and barely average graphics make F1 2015 a particularly bitter pill. Shall we slap ourselves for hoping again? For the bold price you will get a bold disappointment, as they promised us the moon before. There is no reasonable excuse for this.

Perhaps there was an interesting idea at the beginning of Back to Bed development – optical illusions wrapped around a puzzle game. A similar idea could have been seen at the recent mobile game hit Monument Valley. However, something went obviously wrong during the Back to Bed development, and its result remains an unfulfilled desire and just a promise from the authors' keyboards.

The game is quite dull. It requires the gamers to do nothing, and it gives them nothing at all in return. This is another worthless riding on the movies' coat-tails as well as the usual money trap.

A really pretty knight fighter with solid audio design that is buried by poor design choices and shallow gameplay.

Tex Murphy had risen from the dead only to show us his aged face, and then again he faded into oblivion – along with his logical conundrums and his very dead game design. Fans of the series may try, the others definitely not.

Monochroma looks great, and it wants gamers to get highly intoxicated by its extraordinary variety of emotions. However, even the most beautiful stylization of the world cannot fix imprecise movement of characters in a genre where perfect accuracy is essential. With a considerable amount of irritating puzzles Monochroma is thus the perfect recipe for tantrums.

Developers of Telltale managed to cram lots of famous YouTubers into the six episode, but with all the enthusiasm they forgot to make a decent game.

A completely redundant on-rails shooter that fades in comparison with its more illustrious competitors. This kind of an exclusive game hurts the PSVR2 more than it helps.

Skyhill is an easy simulator, meant to satisfy the life needs of the main character. You can't expect anything more. It doesn't have an enough depth or length and lacks a sense of competition. It entertains – but just for a while.

Crime Boss: Rockay City could’ve been a great, original, addictive game filled to the brim with stars from the golden age of action movies. But its concept of a robbery-focused shooter mixed with roguelite elements just isn’t executed well enough. The awful system of enemy spawns, the repetitive missions and environments… And the worst offender of all, a truly horrendous enemy AI. Steer clear!

Dead Island, what actually is not Dead Island. Boring corridors and sleepy gameplay is enhanced by stupid story. Comics stylization hardly covers the low production values. Even with tremendous discount this game is not worth buying.

Hardcore and old school. Those are mighty fashionable magic formulas frequently used for the video games unable to prove they are fun and fresh. Like this Alien Rage title.

Solarix could bow to the old sci-fi gaming with dignity, but due to the botched artificial intelligence, confusing level design and half-baked ideas it turned into its caricature.

The remake of The House of the Dead 2 isn’t outright broken and still delivers a nostalgic ride of on-rails shooting that’s all but vanished today. Its biggest issue, however, is that most of the new additions make the game worse rather than better, be it the gamepad controls, changes to the hitboxes, or the atrocious voice acting.

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.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a mix of disparate game genres that often do not make sense. Atmosphere and action gameplay are not bad, but instead of graceful ballistic dances, it rather shoots its own legs with technical issues, ugly graphics, poor optimization, and a miserable story, which results in a title that has nothing to offer.

Uninspired game design, recycled content, monotonous gameplay, and technical issues. A dull experience that not even a few rare bright moments or a decent soundtrack can save. Best avoided.

An automation game that, despite its pleasant minimalist visual style, falls short as a game. Sixty Four demands constant oversight, with the majority of gameplay revolving around continuously refueling devices. It becomes more of a test of patience than an engaging experience, one that you may not find worthwhile.

Neither the kind atmosphere nor the colorful world can hide, that the Toren is very short, boring and hardly playable arcade game filled with too many creators' mistakes.

The mini-version of popular DayZ acts on a mobile platform as a very imperfect experience. This show of unfinished elements stays below average even with some sparkles of fun.

This strange exploration of human psyche fails, and it fails completely. The basic game mechanics are wrong, therefore the interesting concept and all the artistic merit become wholly irrelevant.

Minecraft Legends lacks anything to appeal to any sort of target audience. It’s a disjointed, dysfunctional mixture of genres and ideas that’s going to leave everyone disappointed – the strategists, the builders, the action aficionados, even the Minecraft fans.

This is the fall of a giant. PlatinumGames, the masters of their craft, stumble and crash in this poor attempt at a live service game with passable combat and awful everything else.

Postal Redux is a below-average remake of a mediocre 90s game. It hasn’t any hidden advantage to convince you that it's worthy of playing. You get more fun if play the old Postal 2 again.

After Us wants to comment on the dark side of consumerism, but it fails to convey its message through mediocre gameplay. Neither the story or the mechanics are satisfying enough, there are technical issues and the action feels superfluous.

The major problem with Realpolitiks is that the game has little to do with reality or with politics or ultimately with the funny design of other grand strategies.

Primarily, the game is not pleasant to play. Technical imperfection, both RPG and combat system are miserable, stupid story, and a bunch of illogicality unfortunately ruins a catchy visual style, pleasant music and satisfying crafting. In the bottom line just an unpleasant taste remains after playing Kyn.

Although the Park offers a respectable level design, it is failing on all other aspects. It ignores the story and gameplay rules of the horror titles, and the result is an experience that you can easily miss.

It is an amateurish approach to see a waste of the X-Men: Destiny game's potential. It is a pity that another game title of the famous comics brand did not work out and that the reasons to play it can be counted on four fingers of a single hand.

This classic RPG is one you can afford to miss. Despite its well-executed stylization and intriguing setting, it doesn't have much to offer. The story is uninteresting and often downright misleading. Continuity is so broken that most of the time you'll be wondering whether it's just poorly written quests or if something has gone terribly wrong. The moral compass is too restrictive, as are the outright illogical quests. Unenjoyable battles are just the proverbial rotten cherry on top of this stale cake.

Three levels constantly repeating; together with lousy controls and 3-hour gameplay can't satisfy even the biggest fans of platform games.

There is an obvious difference between a children's game and a childish one. Game adaptation of The Adventures of Tintin belongs to the second category. Children's imagination and a longing for an adventure are being killed by a stereotype and boredom here. Nicely designed cooperative missions are the only positive of this game.

I understand why, once upon a time, this game was a fan favourite but it simply isn’t good enough by today’s standards. The gameplay could be quite interesting even now if the remaster, or rather the port, wasn’t so incredibly bare-bones.

A second-rate shooter that's trying to hide its flaws under traditional Resident Evil paraphernalia, such as zombies, heroes and all the other things. A campaign of the game is pointless and without any content at all. Many of the annoying flaws do make your gameplay even harder and, unfortunately, many of those flaws are even in its multiplayer that might have been different if the authors had taken it as their primary goal.

Dr. Mario World is Nintendo at its weakest. It’s solid, it’s colorful, but also greedy, unoriginal and… well, somehow redundant.

There’s no fun to be had in Devil’s Hunt’s version of Hell. The fighting is broken, the level design is amateurish and the story is weak.

Mad Riders is an arcade racing game that is boring to death. Even though the game offers plenty of tracks, modes and vehicles, the actual differences are in their different colours. Quantity dominates quality and most importantly - it dominates the actual entertainment.

Some original ideas, a gripping setting - but also a very poor experience from a gameplay standpoint. Especially the combat fails at almost every level.

Niko is an experimental title, which relies primarily on exploring – actual game is set aside. However, when an action or logical sequences come to place true problems occur: low difficulty and flat puzzles, poor controls and imbalance of the individual elements.

A small, ugly, and straightforward game that lacks depth, a better physics model, varied game modes—and most importantly, players.

One thing is when you try to modernize principles of genre, and the other thing is when you overdo it with your own bad ideas. Boredom and stereotype are then the essential parts of the overall experience - I don't even talk about the technical issues.

Knack works neither as a preview of the PS4 hardware possibilities, nor as an entertainment for the whole family, nor as an entertaining arcade game. This is a typical title that's been made for the purpose of stretching out the launch games' index.

An interesting visual, good sound and gameplay that does not reach its potential, mainly because of the lack of any interesting puzzles.

If you sleep with a plushy Creeper instead of pillow and if you cut down the trees with fists, you may enjoy the third episode of Minecraft: Story Mode just because it is Minecraft. Otherwise, it is the weakest part in the whole series – boring, clichéd and just plain silly.

A slightly above-average game has finally its bad remake. Its graphics is basically the same, and all of the original design's mistakes now catch your eye even more.

Dracula 4 resembles a vampire living rough through a daylight, so he's not capable of a proper bite. Its excellent voice acting, dramatic music, and the game's quite interesting unravelment won't save the game itself from its short length, lack of animations, silly dialogues, and far too simple puzzles.

This aged hard action liquor will pull your feet out of your shoes and even your socks. However, walking on broken pieces of gameplay that offers many flaws and frustration causes a bit more stinging than it once did.

The agony can shock and literally enjoys gore and perversion. Underneath the peel of disgust and obscenity, it does not cover anything else than doctrinal playability, bad design decisions, bugs and boredom. You do not want to pay for such a form of suffering.

Farming Simulator 23 doesn’t build at all on last year’s predecessor. On the contrary, it lost many features and fans of the series should steer well clear of this. Yes, you can farm while you’re travelling, but why would you do that when the downsides are so many? It could perhaps work as a good entry point, but in that case it probably shouldn’t be so ugly.

After the first cult installment with its second sequel Cannon Fodder 3 does not stand as a respectable follow-up. It is not even a good game. It's such a dull thing.

For youngsters it's oddly out of date, for the old stickers it's far from the original. This is how the HD edition of the legendary strategy game Age of Empires II has turned out. From one golden legacy to just broken pieces. Hopefully, its community will put it together.

In all aspects this is a substandard action RPG that will maybe come up with better evaluation someday thanks to its patches and updates bombardment. But in this very moment the game is just sadly watching its better fellows from below.

t’s broken, it’s stripped of content, it’s just plain boring. The worst Battlefield of the modern era.

Somewhere beneath the mound of filth lies hidden potential. It is, however, suffocated by bugs, bad game design, terrible story and endless repetition.

Unknown 9 shows potential, but never comes close to realizing it. It smugly drowns in a flat story, with awful, repetitive combat. The enemy possession mechanic is too simplistic and underutilized, and the stealth sequences feel like a rehash of countless other games. Despite the actors doing their best to sell it, you never get to truly explore or connect with its intriguing world.

Epic Mickey 2 is a textbook example of a bad game made by highly experienced author like Warren Spector. Very bad level design, an incoherent storyline, technical issues, boring cooperative gameplay and a dull AI resulting in fail. The only truly positive thing about the game is its Czech localization, including the Czech voice acting on the PC version.

Only its relatively decent narrative along with its fine soundtrack buoys the Lost Planet 3 title up. Otherwise, it's just a shooter full of frustrating bugs. A game you've played innumerable times before.

A big disappointment that is ruining one book series' reputation. It's also killing nice aspiration to revive RTS genre by its fatal design faults. This is clear proof that only good intentions aren't enough, and sometimes they lead straight to hell.

This action RPG boasts a simple yet quite bearable combat system and beautiful environments. But the level design is nothing short of a tragedy and so are the preposterously long loading screens.

Weak ending to the weak adventure series that just tried to use the Minecraft success. The creators from Telltale can do better.

If someone, someday, fixes the litany of errors that plague it, Dance of Death might become an enjoyable narrative adventure. Its release version is, unfortunately, completely and utterly broken.

Sophisticated battle system itself is not enough. The experience of this adrenaline platformer due to a catastrophic lack of content and lack of challenge (like global ranking), very soon turns into a debilitating and annoying stereotype.

This Diablo clone has a solid core, but flays itself alive by extreme repetition, boring endgame and, most of all, criminal amount of critical mistakes. Diablo may rest easy, Chaosbane is not even a challenger.

You cannot deny this game it's complex and innovative. It's also ill-structured, twisted and hopelessly boring.

If you wish to see a game that does basically everything wrong, look no further. Its technical state is a mess, it will overwhelm you with information, the characters are bland. The only thing worth praising is the interesting dialogue system.

On paper, Nitro Kid seems like a fun tactical roguelike in which you build your own deck of cards. It’s utterly unbalanced, however, and therefore frustrating, boring and bland. Even the 80s atmosphere is lacking.

For every Elden Ring, there are many Dolmens. That doesn’t mean you should waste your time playing them.

We expected a classic RTS in the vein of Age of Mythology. What we got instead is a half- finished product with a few good ideas drowned in a sea of technical and gameplay issues.

A badly designed game with flaws that br(e)akes its multiplayer dramatically. You know, being unconventional and not able to write a proper game code doesn't pay off sometimes.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is a spooky detective novel in which ghosts are not allowed to go through random objects, and detective work resembles browsing through a folding picture book. And when you see demon fights looking like a drunken fly hunt with fly swatter in your hand, not even well written side cases nor Salem's atmosphere may help the game to get a better rating.

Montague's Mount is an uncompromising effort to create an illusion of a dark island entrapped in a storm. However, it's forgetting that a game is entertaining if there are compromises. In this case the outcome is frustrating, a drab sloppy thing with crawling bugs along with bad design decisions on the top of it.

Shelter 3 has solid graphics, music and a story. The gameplay, however, is awful. This game manages to be very short and feel extremely prolonged at the same time.

Cheap Forza Horizon 2 add-on is trying to sponge on the movie license, but consistency with Fast and Furious franchise is almost none.

Umbrella Corps is a multiplayer action with zero value. The game is flawed with all sorts of issues, including dysfunctional matchmaking, small number of players, poor visuals and tragic AI of zombies. Hands off.

A complex strategy game from the Wild West Indies that's looking absolutely stunning at first glance. However, the game fails completely in many regards. Its controls are overly complicated, the game's mechanics are rather dull and the battles are quite annoying. In the end you are supposed to stare at numbers and drink your real rum, which is a need.

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.

What could have been a nice, nostalgic RPG falls flat on its face. The story doesn’t work, it looks awful, the gameplay is poor, and the user interface is absolutely archaic.

There are worse things in this world, such as war, starvation and grown men on scooters, but none of them have the audacity to release themselves on Nintendo Switch. This port doesn’t deserve any of your attention.

Setarrif ends as soon as it starts, and that defines its final score. You play it for the sole purpose to finish it quickly. If we take its low difficulty and a lack of a great story, then the quick finish is not a problem at all.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is more of a tutorial than a game. Instead of a fun introduction to the new console, it offers presentations, quizzes, and unnecessarily drawn-out content that feels like corporate e-learning. While the technical details are occasionally interesting and a few mini games briefly entertain, the whole experience fails in its most important role – to excite players about the new generation of Nintendo Switch. It should have been free. And it should have been shorter, snappier, and most of all, more fun.

Men of War: Condemned Heroes does fail in everything that matters. Missions are stereotypical, AI is weak, its technical execution is miserable with plenty of bugs, the game design is left to chance and the missions are hard enough to satisfy a sadist.

Short, stupid and empty. Story of pretty agent Jessica is the worst paid bonus ever made for the Wolfenstein series.

Boring and poorly programmed real-time strategy lacks even the very basics to be at least average game. The lack of multiplayer in combination with enjoyable stupid AI and poor content condemns Meridian: New World for immediate oblivion.

Inspired by legendary RPGs and developers of yore, The Waylanders fails to honour them in any respect. Its story is as generic as they come, the characters completely inconsistent. The controls are clunky and some bugs prevent you from progressing. The combat system is fine, but that really cannot save this game from deserved oblivion.

Vane is heavily inspired by several successful indie titles, but borrows from them in all the wrong places and fails to bring anything new to the table. It’s pretty, but not beautiful - not enough to offset the bland gameplay, terrible controls and awkward camera.

An interesting concept that's been realised into a totally horrible and dull shooter/stealth action crossover that I cannot recommend to fans of the series, not even to fans of the Walking Dead comics. The only noticeable positive about it is its voice acting.

The long-awaited sequel to the beloved Test Drive Unlimited feels like it still hasn’t arrived. What Kylotonn has done with the franchise can't even be considered a bad attempt. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown may have a fun driving model, but that’s where the short list of positives ends. It's a poor game lacking content, optimization, and visuals that would at least match last-gen standards.

Poor and boring attempt to simulate the management of an artistic guild without any content or value.

Sacred 2 Remaster is a textbook example of how a remaster should not be made. The result feels like half-finished work that not only fails to deliver any meaningful improvements, but is in many respects even worse than the original game. Technical issues, unattractive visuals, an outdated combat system, and poor optimization undermine even the few elements that might have worked. Sacred 2 was once a likeable action RPG with an original world, but the remaster turns it into little more than a relic of the past that should never have been revived. Those struck by nostalgia are far better off returning to the original game with community patches. It will be a much more rewarding experience.

The creators of Project CARS won’t want to remember this failure. The story in the exact mould of the movies is fine, but the graphics are woeful, the environments aren’t much better, the missions are boring and worst of all, the driving just isn’t fun.

Eidolon just randomly throws you into the middle of western Washington of the year c. 2400, leaving you only with an idea that humanity is in short gone. Who are you? What are you? Where should you go and what should you do there? The questions accumulate, and the answers are not coming. You have to find them by yourself. And so it begins one wannabe artistic adventure but of the value that will disappear like morning mist.

Foreclosed looks nice and somewhere deep inside there are even a few interesting ideas, but that is, unfortunately, that. The gameplay itself is horrendous, as is the story accompanying it.
