The game's campaign is quite simple to no avail, and some features should be refreshed. However, underneath its puerile skin there are hidden the best executed Pokémons with their traditionally catchy gameplay, pleasing both young and mature gamers. There's no reason for fans of the series to be hesitant, and the rest of you should know the meaning of our number nine - one of the best RPGs of the year.

Democracy 3 is a solid simulation game letting you to steer a state with a help of laws and orders in a very enjoyable way. Unfortunately, it doesn't change its solving pattern, which brings an early stereotype. Democracy 3 is excellent for a while, but as a full-value game it probably won't prevail.

There was no single-player RPG title with party-based cooperation of the same importance as it is in this game. Aarklash brings magically elaborated combat system, however, many things around this feature should have been made in much better fashion.

Rocksmith 2014 has fixed the imperfections of the original, and it adds a set of new modes making the game great in functions and incredibly entertaining tool as a tutorial to play guitar.

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.

At a glance a cute and charming little platformer that will eventually become with your insight one of the most challenging and deepest contemporary platform games. A great remake that's annoying only because of its occasional troubles with controls and because of its complicated multiplayer game.

Jack Keane and the Fire Within suffers from all the child's troubles that are thinkable. When you look at its uninteresting storyline, brief dialogues, awkward humour, repetitious minigames, or its wandering camera that is obviously playing against you. Fans of the series are brave enough to give a try this second installment, but the rest of you would be better off without it.

Rise of Venice finds an interesting angle on the trading history. However, it's a shame that virtual Venice is filled with rats and troublesome pigeons. It's a fail they were not swept out entirely. Anyway, we've just been playing a beautiful strategy game with one very ugly bug.

At first, all the mechanics work. The game principle is catching, and it's romantic to fly with the warplanes of the First World War. Nevertheless, the PC game port looks epicene and inappropriate. Its biggest mistakes like repeating of the situations, imbalanced missions, and too much focus on maximize of your score follow its mobile origin. A turn-based strategy game by Sid Meier must be entertaining at any moment. Ace Patrol fails to satisfy this.

A different studio, the same product. Arkham Origins is basically the Arkham City title, re-painted not to a pink colour but into the mood of Batman's advent. The fun is there, however and unfortunately, its drawbacks should really be solved.

Another year's volume, another Football Manager, another hundreds of hours of the virtual football game throughout the mouse-clicking. There are no strong novelties this year. It's more about cosmetic changes and debugging the two main game modes. For fans of the series this is a traditional must. For the others this is a chance to hop into the long-established series of intoxicating football madness with improved Classic mode.

Without the slightest doubt the best action game of the pirate and sailor genre ever. Black Flag is smart enough to keep down the Assassin's Creed mythology, and it puts forward its pirates, and colourful and also deadly Caribbean. Instead of a mere expansion of the traditional formula, a charismatic hero along with his Jackdaw ship creates a great tandem bringing something truly new to the series.

If you compare it to the rest competition of the same genre, even this Deponia installment may be considered a gem, offering quite a unique world along with its antihero that is simply adorable. However, unlike the previous installments this one is more daring now a then, and its brain traffic is not for everyone.

The first episode of The Wolf Among Us is fantastic (it's a fairy tale), and also fantastic (it's wonderful). It's going to please not only the fans of The Walking Dead from the last year, but also those, who favors a quality writing as well as charismatic characters.

More of the same. Just take into account that Scorchers is obviously a “rushed” unfinished release. It's offering entertaining content suffering from a fact it's not tied enough with the game itself, and it has the director's cut syndrome. But, the real thing such as fun shooting in a beautiful scenery, it's all here.

A boring point-and-click adventure game offering some good ideas. Unfortunately, they are buried under a big pile of junk, unimpressive voice-acting, uninteresting intermezzos, and low production value. This is why a gamer will fall asleep instead of having fun.

The PES series has definitely left the grey zone, and with its new face and trained muscles it gets again into a fight to win the football cup. This is going to be a hell of a fight with the well started FIFA series, however, it has to start somewhere.

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

Although the fourth episode of the Cognition series is the shortest one, there's no need for thrilling and heartbreaking moments. Altogether with the three previous pieces they form an excellent mysterious thriller no adventure games fan should pass.

New, yet old-fashioned, still fun and fresh. Gas Guzzlers Extreme fuels the Super gas, and as a second try to grab the motorist's heart it offers entertainment that is golden. Please, scarp the all mainstream racing games. This one has the potential to win the arcade of the year title.

Majority of the contemporary adventure games is more playable than this one. However, let us give the developers a second chance. Just for this time. They made an atypical game balance of the child's stylization and mature narration. Which we haven't seen for a while, and which will hardly come again in the future.

A very relaxing game title suffering from a light stereotype, and maybe an over-simplification, but at the end of a day it's a magic combination of a casual strategy game and a witty summary of the game industry history.

A momentary year's volume that's gas fumes-driven, and that places reliance in fans' benevolence. A presence of the classical open-wheel cars from the rich F1 history, and the old (same) solid driving pattern are grinding off the edges of your disappointment. Well, only if you do not own the last year's volume though.

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.

Shadow Warrior is top-notch action entertainment. It doesn't matter whether or not it is a remake. The game stands its ground, and qualities of the game exceeds even the contemporary mainstream production. Lo Wang has returned and with him law and order.

Out of its great moments you could put together a decent one-hour episode of some paranormal series. But as a coherent narrative, Beyond is incredible mishmash tommyrot, whose high production values here and there hardly outweighs its stupidity. Besides, those production values are just for show, nothing more.

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.
