WRC 4 didn't manage to take up its highly accelerated forerunner. Instead of putting its foot down to get some more juice, it just recycles its content along with the bugs from the last year. Something is rotten in the state of the rallye genre, when there is just one studio along with one game ruling it.

Rise & Shine is a colorful platformer with an imaginative style of fighting. Anyway, it will annoy you more than entertain. It is too difficult and the gaming campaign has literally ephemeral life.

Elex II is a second instalment we could live without. It’s still a solid RPG but once again too ambitious for its own good. It simply doesn’t bring as much joy as it could have.

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.

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.

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.

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

Visually and technically just a tragic game of a magician. But beneath a cheap and repulsive peel it hides a catchy destructive entertainment. Apart from the action and sophisticated system of spells, it does not offer anything else, so check your preferences before you buy. If you have the desire to use your omnipotent magic and wipe a pair of cities to the ground (expecting nothing more from the game), you will hardly find a better choice.

Inexperienced developers tried their hand on a Diablo-like RPG but they failed to understand what makes the genre so popular. Pagan Online is full of restrictions, locked content, reused maps and terrible loot.

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.

This low-cost successor to Mutant Year Zero is still quite fun, but I can truly recommend it only to hardcore fans of its predecessor. There are many better turn-based strategies.

RPG that has a remarkable and intriguing world, a good story and solid battle system. Unfortunately, its linearity is lowers its attraction as the players want to see much more from the game universe.

Something that looked like a very decent restart of the meritorious open-ended city-building game series turned out to be as dull as ditchwater. Maybe, the new SimCity title will be a good game some day. Only if its cities are 4x - 5x bigger, if modders take charge of it, and the online component is working the way it should be working.

An unfulfilled ideal of a hardcore adventure sci-fi game with a catchy story. Its gameplay is based on doing the same thing over and over again, it is downright frustrating, and not even brilliantly written game characters may save its shallow narrative.

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

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

Space warfare in Sid Meier's Starships is meaningless. Although the game could develop the theme of Civilization: Beyond Earth, the game is trapped in a boredom and superficiality. Cutting the strategic part for the not-so-detailed action didn’t (and couldn’t) work at all.

A tribute to the doom-esque games failed. The game is knocked down by the basic elements of gameplay, such as procedurally generated environment, boring weapons and stereotyped enemies.

Party Hard is funny, brutal and controversial. Although impression is flawed by unnecessary mistakes and lack of clarity of some rules, thanks to the creativity of the community this mayhem game can still be recommended.

Remedy’s first foray into multiplayer action is a shaky step into the unknown. While its bizarre, paranormally-tinged world retains plenty of clever ideas, the action quickly turns bland and repetitive, hampered further by a lack of meaningful content. Fans of Control will enjoy the occasional nods and Easter eggs, but others may try it, have some fleeting fun, and move on just as fast.

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.

Sea of Solitude plays with your emotions. It’s not a brilliant game, but that’s not really the point. This is all about the story, all about the introspection. And those work perfectly.

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.

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.

A below average game that does nothing well. It’s ugly, it’s boring, I’m tired of it. Steer clear of this mess.

RymdResa is mostly soothing space roguelike game, but it has relatively small variety of environments and flat gameplay. A poetic effort remains halfway - equivalent rhymes you can find even on improvised evening of slam poetry.

The assassinations are cute, but the overall strategy game behind them is very, very average. Even though its murderous missions are fun in the beginning, they are soon crushed into oblivion by the villainous freemium model, Spanish Inquisition-style.

King’s Bounty 2 offers solid battles of fantasy armies that can too often slide into frustration and inconsistency. Its world is beautiful but completely devoid of life and story. And the controls are simply awful.
