For The Astronauts developers, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is not a victory, but neither is it a failure. Fans of the games like Dear Esther or Gone Home will very much like it, and if you take pleasure in beautiful graphics, you will purr with delight.

Crimes & Punishments is blessed with the very pretty graphics but also with the new gameplay – it is centered around your freedom to investigate, which is quite possibly for the first time in the series that you may experience the weight of your own decisions.

Golden Realms have improved both tactical combat options and magic. They add tens of game units along with the ways of playing. While the game mechanics are not changed, the game's new content will surely make you happy.

This is a noticeable improvement in all aspects. Its driving style is like the proverbial "golden mean", its graphics are breathtaking, and Drivatars finally start to make sense. If the fifth Forza instalment was a compelling reason to buy a console a year ago, this year the baton has been passed to Forza Horizon 2.

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 action hack and slash game in the known world both the experienced gamers and newcomers will fall in love with. Hyrule Warriors is offering great gameplay along with accessible controls, as well as with well-designed ascending game difficulty. Furthermore, they are not afraid to accentuate both exploration and tactical behaviour.

There is a comet appearing in the sky of platformers. It is called Schrödinger's Cat, delivering novel innovations to the genre. In such a game you do not solve the puzzles — you create them yourselves! A pity you will not finish this smash hit for it is too distracting.

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.

A computer version of Dead Rising 3 has met our expectations. It has brought free downloadable content and generally great fun, already known from the Xbox. But its technical optimization along with a number of overlooked issues are good enough reason to quarter Capcom's staff.

Super Time Force Ultra has refreshed the game rules. Thanks to its reincarnation idea, time-plays, along with gameplay it has created an exceptional game work out of an ordinary platformer. A multiplayer game has been overcome, now is the time to team up with yourself.

An interestingly conceived tower defense game that will please fans of the genre who are tired of its stupor. It is a satisfying and entertaining action game.

Abigail "Fetch" Walker, a sensitive rebel with her troubled past, who gladly hits others, especially when her brother's life is at stake. A long time ago, Brent ran away with her from home when her own parents had informed to DUP – those guys who help and protect, but somehow it does not match to their smile. It is a bad move to get Abigail mad – that is why it is such a joy to play as her. The main heroine of the separate First Light DLC for inFamous: Second Son is essentially more interesting than Delsin; she was already gripping your attention in the original game, considering. Therefore it is not surprising that its creators grabbed her and present her as a great addition, a must to all gamers who love superheroes rampage.

Kingdom Rush has arrived on PCs as a port from mobiles, therefore it is not surprising the game is a small one. The main campaign consists of twelve levels which are replenished with another seven bonus ones after your successful completion. Therefore, with a bit of prejudice, you may finish Kingdom Rush in two evenings. However, if you take a keen interest in tower defense strategy genre, it is virtually certain that you are going to find Kingdom Rush a little pearl to which you will gladly return.

The Sims 4 offer only a small amount of changes that with a little effort could be included in one of many expansion packs of the third installment. Besides, it takes a lot of things that have been taken for granted in the previous installment along its expansion packs away from the gamers. Still, it is a fun game, but there are too many "buts" nonetheless.

Halfway is not a complex game, but it is intense turn-based action from the depths of space. It is not original, nor sophisticated in terms of its combat system, but the atmosphere of the destroyed ship Goliath will surely appeal to you.

A traditional top-down shooter that relies heavily on mastered game mechanics, a huge number of levels, weapons and monsters, and gameplay that will satisfy your lust for blood. Unfortunately, it is designed as a multiplayer game which cannot be played via the Internet, which drastically undermines its entertainment.

This is a unique, and quite frankly ground-breaking conversational adventure and RPG hybrid project set into the ancient India. It is not perfect in everything it strived for, however, Unrest has clearly succeeded in the things it wanted to tell about.

Risen 3 is like your favourite chow in a restaurant, where its cook makes the same old magic for fifteen years already. You know very well what to expect, it is becoming somewhat tiresome, even for the cook apparently. But habit is a second nature, you keep on finding it tasty, and the fact is that such role-playing gastronomy is not served anywhere else. In other words, you will not relive such ecstasy as with the Gothic II instalment, however, yes – you will find a solid piece of work here.

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.

I have never grown fond of cars because almost nothing resembles being a car while standing next to Mercury Park Lane from the '59. And to drive Mercury Park Lane from the '59 in the 21st century is not exactly the most practical thing to do with your savings. However, I keep remembering our family Wartburg – a blue station wagon which clawed us through Podkrkonoší or Jeseníky, and that rusty beast did beat everything, weathered from fir branches and mudded from forest roads around Rejvíz. Why so many words? Because it is a must to enjoy the Spintires.

"Another stupid tablet game, which is being sold dirt cheap, and it will not entertain more than for an afternoon. It has definitely bad controls, it looks horrible and it is completely about nothing." After hearing we review the originally mobile game conversion, you might have responded in the similar fashion. I do not blame you, but it is all about the prejudices getting stronger because of the bad mobile games' reputation. But there is little to no truth in that statement. As a matter of fact, The Room is a game with surprising depth, it looks great, and with ease it rolls over many classic adventure games or independent pieces contemplating about the meaning of life.

The word "Schein" means (among other things) "a glow" in German. And because makers of the game are united under the Austrian Zeppelin studios banner, it is not surprising that for this time a name of a studio is not just a jumble of pleasing letters, but it actually reveals the game even more – including the game's core mechanics.

The Moscow Metro opens its gates again, and the young Artyom embarks on a dangerous journey to preserve last remnants of the human race. Suppose you have killed off all the demons, and completed the almost educational path through the Moscow underground. Maybe. But certainly not in such a beautiful and technically seamless form that Redux version offers. Moreover, your first underground visit may not have been a complete one, because Metro is not the game series that makes you to look forward to seeing every new DLC. Or maybe you belong to the owners of new consoles, therefore the Metro Redux purchase is rather a must for you.

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.

An incredibly stuffed version of the hack and slash action game with RPG elements presents itself in the best light for the new generation of consoles. Tons of content, well-made controls and superb co-op.

Taking price–entertainment ratio into account, this was already an ace game three years ago. But even today, Blocks That Matter are able to teach other puzzle platformer games how can one mix addictive gameplay out of simple formulas, that have been used in many ways though.

An excellent skateboard arcade game through which you have to wade with thousands of restarts to put an outstanding performance. Nevertheless, you will greatly enjoy that. A wonderful soundtrack is next to gameplay just icing on the cake.

An interesting genre mix of Quest for Infamy comes with a lot of interesting elements bringing a feel into the game you may decide freely as well as fulfill your goals differently. After some time, however, the game qualities are struck down by inferior game design, fewer ideas, and stereotypical battles.
