El Paso, Elsewhere will be a nostalgic journey for many, reminiscent of a time when action games were refreshingly straightforward. Its unique noir-supernatural setting and action sequences filled with slow-motion and flying bullets are engaging. The story keeps you glued to the screen, but the game struggles with a lack of variety. Just a pity that the artificial intelligence leaves much to be desired in the intelligence department.

There are certainly things to enjoy in this redone version of Layers of Fear, especially its visuals and carefully constructed psychological horror elements, perfect for players willing to look for hidden connections. Its attempts to scare you fall a bit flat, however. But while the overall story of the writer is deeply disappointing, the new depressing episode, The Final Notice, is capable of true emotional destruction.

The sympathetic adventure of a courageous salesman, which sometimes suffers from a relatively straightforward gameplay, but it can bewitch you with its atmosphere and the smooth action.

Proun is an attractive ride on an invisible glued tube. You feel shapes, you feel colours, you feel music and you combine all of this and let it roll in your own mind. This game is great. Unfortunately, there is very little of it. Hopefully, there will be more of it. Some day.

If crude humor appeals, and a road trip with friends full of situational comedy, swearing, and bizarre physics antics sounds enticing, this title delivers all of that, plus a charming visual style. Technically it could use some polish, but otherwise it is a more entertaining cooperative romp than expected. There’s no chance of boredom on this journey.

The fourth generation of Pokémon brings several truly important upgrades and changes, but it just as often stands still, stuck in the past.

There may be too many swordfights, especially for those who didn’t enjoy them in the original game, but that’s not the biggest problem of this DLC. Simply put, it’s too short. The interesting story and characters deserve much more room for development.

A good port of the first Max Payne game is spoiled by the only thing - its controls. Even though the control system is adjustable, it is not as impressive as it should be, and it can be annoying from time to time. That's the reason why the gunfights are not entertaining enough as they used to be. However, there is no reason to turn your back on this port because the rest of the game is exactly the same as we've remembered - stylish, rough, funny, and above all of good quality.

A maze for all those virtual tourists and spelunkers, who have deadly desire to find out what is at the end of an alienated underworld city that may constantly surprise you. For instance, with its jumping over platforms, which may be a very unnerving experience.

Vanguard isn’t bad at all but there’s certainly room for improvement. The gunplay is solid, the graphics are beautiful - but the campaign is weak and the multiplayer unbalanced.

An intense and authentic World War 1 shooter with emphasis on caution, tactics and team coordination. Unfortunately, it’s never going to win any beauty contests, and then there’s the real elephant in the room - sparsely populated servers.

Punch Club 2: Fast Forward might deter you with two things – significant grinding and the fact that the sequel doesn't stray far from the original. However, grinding is integral to this game, and the first installment worked beautifully. The sequel also boasts a futuristic setting, consistently great humor, polished audiovisuals, and intriguing stories. If you're looking for something to sink your teeth into this busy year or simply want to unwind with a game, Punch Club 2 will keep you entertained.

XCOM is like a BioShock wannabe. However, its great ambitions have led to its heart attack, and its tedious resuscitation leaves a mark. In the end, it woke up as a totally different game with the entirely new title. Well, the most important thing is that the game works, it entertains, it's looking good, and it runs like a wind. In short, the well-made tactical shooter.

Experience consisting of one very good, one excellent and one weaker episode. Somebody could be annoyed by obvious similarities to its predecessor, but catchy narratives and great characters dismiss these complaints. We grief just the oddly vague ending.

Kvark is a decent shooter that plays well overall. While it loses some momentum in the second of its three acts, it regains its stride by the end, especially when transitioning from claustrophobic underground complexes to surface locations. Unfortunately, it doesn't fully capitalize on its period setting and its attempts at humor fall flat.

A fast-paced strategy without the complicated management requests your attention with good theme and the original view at a class struggle. Belligerent rats, pigs and other vermin haven´t been so funny and addictive for a long time.

A fine old-school platformer that works very well even today, but also a reminder that times change. What used to be cool might be cool no longer.

Funny post-apocalyptic action game suffers by a too-much recycling. The game throws in the wild chases, awesome fights and eye-catching visuals.

An entertaining builder/puzzler for all virtual designers which has recently merged with Portal where it takes its mechanics, stylization and humor. Unfortunately, the game wears off over the time and its emphasis on precision isn’t supported with better tools.

Yes, Your Grace is a monarch simulator that’s better at depicting interpersonal relationships than actual reigning. Its nicely crafted story fortunately trumps the occasional frustration stemming from a management system based on chance.

Not your usual Pokémon game, a step in a slightly different direction. Arceus isn’t without its faults, but it is fun – and that might be the most important quality of this experiment.

Relaxing piece where you can fly. Controls would need a upgrade, story-connection is weak. But relaxation part works just fine, so what?

A strategy game perfectly suited for the experienced gamers who are not afraid of complex gaming mechanics along with their complicated combination, and for those who are also willing to work out its confusing interface, and to wait for several annoying bugs to be removed.

A truly huge game that adds more and more content without really fundamentally changing anything. It’s not a very good shooter but it will successfully distract you with countless relatively fun activities.

A great remake of a very specific game for a very specific audience. Crash Team Racing is a solid alternative to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but it’s not for everybody - and you should know beforehand what you’re getting into.

If you hear someone claiming a mouse and a keyboard are the most suited controls for a PC, turn on Rocksmith for him. This educational game proves that you simply can't beat a guitar with some funny buttons. It certainly has its magic, but you won't probably become a rocking mage. However, as an accessory for an amateur guitarist it serves perfectly.

There are titles that do not need too much invention. A good workmanship in a cleverly chosen environment and a little creative tenderness are enough. The result are inconspicuous gaming pearls, whose are a joy to collect and play. Nantucket is exactly such a game.

The idea behind Beautiful Desolation is, unfortunately, its greatest success, let down by the way the game itself works. Still, this quaint trip into a world of post-apocalyptic retro-futurism is worth a try.
