Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection is a remaster that wasn't treated with true care and attention. The games themselves are still great and this package should be recommended to fans who need to own all the boxes with AC logo, or to those few people who don't know this great story. The graphics are nicer but there's no 60 fps, old technical issues are still present and there is almost no additional content.

South Park: Phone Destroyer makes a good impression but suffers from some gameplay decisions. The game is funny and offers lots of stuff for free but the online mode shouldn't be connected in any way to the single player campaign. Mobile PS has lots of potential that is thwarted by too much randomness and a flawed PvP.

After months of tests World of Warplanes still looks unfinished. Gameplay balance allows for enjoyable matches with machines up to level V, an old engine delivers mostly choppy framerate even on powerful machines and the game itself isn't easy or accessible. The developers have a long way ahead of them to create a truly great aviation online shooter. Right now the game is only "ok".

The Order: 1886 is a pretty good game, nothing else. Almost every part can be criticized: the story flows nicely but is extremely predictable, the fights are good, but only the ones with people in them (lycan fights are boring), graphics are gorgeous, but the world feels empty. Sir Galahad's adventure is yet another bit of proof that beauty isn't enough. You should see The Order in motion but do so only after some significant discounts.

The World Before is more of an interactive story than an adventure game. The gameplay was a letdown, but the story and the world were quite OK. You have to decide yourself what's more important for you.

Dogfight 1942 is a surprisingly pleasant game. I wasn't expecting any fireworks, and even though there aren't any, just after two missions I was sure about the quality of this product. In terms of the game's graphics you can't say anything unpleasant, the same goes for the sound. The main problem is this - Dogfight 1942 won't be able to keep you entertained for long. Launch the game, complete it and forget.

On one hand we have to deal with lots of mistakes and bugs, mediocre graphics, a poor order giving system, stupid AI and a short single player campaign. On the other hand Spec Ops has expressive characters, cool locations (Dubai looks great) and a grown-up, memorable story. The most painful thing about Spec Ops: The Line is the fact that "unused potential" is the best way to describe it.

Assassin's Creed Rogue is a very unnecessary remaster because it doesn't improve the core game in any way. There are some minor tweaks in the graphics department, but it looks just like any other next-gen port of an older game.

Game of Thrones creates mixed feelings in the player. Story-wise it's a true gem. The protagonists' fates are very interesting and all the events expand and at the same time fit perfectly into George R.R. Martin's brutal universe. Unfortunately - in order to see the finale you have to endure hundreds of monotonous fights with an interesting, but flawed fighting mechanic.

An interesting game, especially for fans of tower defense genre. It's a peculiar game in its category but its advantages come mainly from the visual side (design, animations) and not gameplay. Rock of Ages isn't a complicated game and success during playing depends mostly on luck. It's an arcade title and planning, though important, stays in the background.

Ninja Gaiden 3 is a spectacular (but not very pretty) slasher without a complex fighting system. Not everybody will like the changes and hardcore fans of previous games will surely be disappointed.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is a pretty casual hack'n'slash for players unfamiliar with the genre. The game looks pretty, but it's far too easy and repetitive, with a rather shallow storyline. Perhaps in time, Chaosbane will become better due to planned DLCs, but it looks like a considerable investment. It's a pity that we received another mediocre Warhammer game, cause it was very promising at launch.

I can't say that Total War: Pharaoh is a bad game. It's simply the same well-known game that was spruced up (again) and sold for a full price. But if you wait for a discount, Creative Assembly's newest game should deliver dozens of hours of fun.

Homefront: The Revolution is a weird mix of things going great and things going south. Gameplay that combines the best of sanbox games and linear shooters is interesting and can be appealing. It's a shame that nothing really stands out and even the best parts of the game suffer from technical issues. It's a fairly long game but I'm not sure it deserves the time.

London 2012: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games a most definitely the best „olympic" video game that had been made in more than a decade. No more stupid button mashing – a new control scheme makes the gameplay enjoyable. Graphics are suprisingly pretty and you can feel the atmosphere of a grand sports event. The biggest flaw is an abysmal quality of the PC version – it's a console port in the worst way.

Diablo Immortal is as engaging as any Diablo, but only initially. You sure can have fun here, and I myself became engrossed in this world, trying to discover as much of it as possible - I was just curious what kind of a game it was. Unfortunately, with the current shape of its in-game economy, Immortal turns out to be an uncomfortable money-grab effort more than anything else.

The Walking Dead: 400 Days is a good expansion, but definitely not good enough. This DLC is very short and does not use the full potential of new characters (there isn't enough time to care for any of them). What's more, every piece of the game allows to play with the gameplay mechanic in different ways. The most important thing are the dialogues and attempts to introduce character in a very short time span. All in all (despite its flaws) 400 Days is a must buy for fans of the series that want to continue the story.

My time with Graven is a mix of fun and frustration - first it's great, but after a while I want to throw my keyboard out the window. The atmoshpere and graphics are good, and the maps are well desgned, but lack of clear goal and to much old-school are a burden.

On one hand Alien: Isolation has great levels and some excellent sequences, but on the other it's too predictable, has technical issues and a disappointing Alien. In the beginning you'll be amazed, then you'll get bored, just to be excited at the very end. Isolation is much better than Colonial Marines but not as good as other survival horrors out there. It could (and should!) have been great.

Still Wakes the Deep is a very capable walking simulator, but that's it. No sparks of genius here. The game is quite monotonous, fortunately it delivers some fun with a unique setting and a really good, dramatic storyline that would fit a movie far better than a game.

WRC 4 is a decent game, but I have no doubt that a more talented team would have made it something great and a true knock-out for the competition (that barely exists, to be honest). The new WRC game fails in terms of content and new things and that's the result of wanting to deliver a new game once a year. WRC 4 continues the path taken by its superior predecessor, but lacks a strong punch.

How to Survive is a quite good game with a fair amount of flaws. After a longer session it can be boring, and the RPG & survival mechanics aren't being used sufficiently. Fortunately the fun coming from killing zombies is surprisingly strong. The game is quite cheap, has some interesting ideas and looks nice - these things should outweigh all the mistakes. But the most important question is this: are you not sick of zombies already?

I believe The Last Oricru is worth your time because it offers a truly interesting way of shaping its story. But first, the developers have to eliminate tons of bugs and fix the game's performance. Only then it will be a good RPG.

Fire Emblem: Engage offers a very pleasant and engaging combat system, but the story leaves a lot to be desired (especially when it comes to characters).

From Dust is a fun game, especially when someone wants to play god. Light and short missions allow the player to enjoy creating the world but after a while boredom creeps in. The locations change but the player is forced to do the same things over and over again. It's a game worth getting to know thanks to its great physics engine, but its not for everybody.

Crudelis is a game based on a terrific idea that is worth copying in the future. Unfortunately the execution in terms of the narrative and technical side isn't that good. If the type of gameplay and issues that characterize this game doesn't bother you, give it a shot. It's original enough.

The Elder Scrolls Online is a big game with a lot of work put into its creation. ZeniMax Online has created a large world with many quests and a cool PvP mode. The game tries to satisfy both solo gamers and MMO lovers, but the end result is short of expectations. TESO can be recommended only to the fans of the genre, who accept its flaws: repetitiveness, not very exciting combat and lots of simplifications. This "Skyrim online" is well made, but not very original.

We have lots of modes to choose from, but Kinect Star Wars is just a collection of minigames that is different from, say, Kinect Adventures only thanks to its Star Wars setting. It's one of better Kinect-only games, but skeptics won't be persuaded.

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is a game stuck midway between the past and the present. The remastering process took a lot of work and turned out pretty good but I can't understand why the gameplay was left intact without any modern polish. At first, the nostalgia was strong but fighting with the archaic solutions over and over again for a few hours was too much for me and I got bored.

Shardlight makes a great first impression - it looks like an old-school adventure game with interesting characters, a cool world and demanding puzzles. Unfortunately after some time the game focuses only on the story and neglects the gameplay. The technical side is ok, pixel art adds some charm, but all in all it's simply an "ok" game. Nothing more.

Going East! is a decent expansion that unfortunately offers only new terrains and no additional changes. It's a dream come true for gamers eager to conquer polish roads, but everybody else should wait for a next add-on, that will surely appear someday. I'm a bit disappointed - I wanted something more, than just new cities and roads - new trucks would be great.

New version of L.A. Noire does not disappoint but at the same time it does nothing to make me love this really good game some more. This remaster is just fine - nothing more, nothing less. It offers fancy things like HDR and 4K but there's nothing really new, so if you already own L.A. Noire, skip this version.

Seven: The Days Long Gone is a truly unique RPG. It's a comic book-stylized stealth isometric adventure in a techno-magical world. Seven can generate tons of fun but only until you encounter one of the many strange bugs and issues. You should wait for some serious patching and buy the game once it's done - it has a potential that deserves to be fully realized.

The new Thief is the weakest installment in the series - a game that loses much of the unique narrative and protagonist creation. There are too many inaccuracies, errors and bad gameplay solutions as well. But on the other hand, there were moments that made me forget about all that and truly believed in this world. All in all the new Thief shows that grey is the new black. The game has good mechanics that were wasted - as a fan I'm really disappointed.

Borderlands 4 is a great correcting of the mistakes of Borderlands 3, a good “Borderlands”, but only an adequate game, with huge optimisation issues.

An unfinished game with many bugs casting a shadow on an otherwise good and demanding FPS. Do you remember all the announcements preparing us for a multiplayer campaign and cooperative skirmish? These modes are not finished yet. I'm disappointed that a game not so different from the beta version appeared on the market. Tripwire Interactive has a thing for supporting its games so I'm sure that after several patches and mods Red Orchestra 2 will fly. But for now it's not worth a full price.

Atlas Fallen is a shallow RPG. I strongly believe that with less work, it could be a much better action-adventure game. If you approach it with this mindset, it might seem like a quite good game.

As an avid fan of stealth games, I wanted Serial Cleaners to be much more than simply a prettier and more diverse version of the first game with a cool storyline.

Far Cry: New Dawn is a quickly produced FC 5 with a new texture pack and some funky colors. Although the plot does not reach its potential, the game has some really creative missions, the graphics are beautiful, and the music is great. If only the cool shooting mechanic wasn't limited by the new "color system".

Syberia 3 arrived too early. It's an adventure with a soul that wants to share a great story with us all. So why, oh why, do I get so angry with this game? I played it, I was amazed, I was furious, I forgave it, and then I played it again. Hopefully some serious patches will fix the most pressing issues and the game will become great again.

If you have never played NHL (or have a long time ago), getting NHL 23 can be a good idea. It’s a solid game, but not for the veterans of the series.

Layers of Fear is a linear game that is a few steps behind the horror titans. The 4 hours needed to see the ending couldn't be considered wasted time but I had some doubts during. The game can scare you pretty well - unfortunately after a while the pattern becomes too repetitive (at the same time this is the moment where the rooms become more interesting). Layers of Fear takes some stuff from the P.T. demo - but when you copy, you should do it from the best source possible.

A steampunk Wild West, cool characters and a terrific vampire carnage are Evil West's strong features. Unfortunately, the technical aspects are archaic, without any intended homage to classic games.

ArmA III has kept me busy for months, and its final version made me feel ambivalent. On one hand we have a great technological leap, on the other - poor content. Sure, ArmA III isn't your regular shooter that needs to have an interesting, long campaign - it's a game that lives through the community - but it's a pity, that the gamers were given so little to work on. Arma III was supposed to be great, and right now is only promising.

The newest expansion for Heroes VI - Shades of Darkness - is worth your attention, but it's far from perfect. The new and improved dark elves with cloaking ability are a welcome thing. Unfortunately the game lacks proper balance between power and magic and commanding Realag's army doesn't give you the feeling of controlling a great force. Still - the fans will be pleased, because Shades do not deviate from a well liked, basic gameplay of Heroes VI.

Transport Fever 2 has some serious pros - great system of logistics, sensible industry model, pretty environments and detailed vehicles. It's a great shame that two of the game's major elements fall completely flat, effectively nullifying its advantages - the economy of the game is opaque and flawed, and there are no real game modes to play.

Blackguards is an interesting game that tries to merge classical cRPG elements with some interesting novelties. But beware - right now it has a lot of issues considerably limiting its potential. Fortunately the story is great and rewards any suffering the game may cause. Fans of the genre should be very pleased, everyone else - wait for some patches.

If you don't have mad skills or lots of patience, keep away from Redeemer. But if you like bloody gameplay with a really high difficulty level - remember this one. The second half becomes boring and there are some technical issues but its fierce attitude, pretty graphics and low price make it worth your while.

Song of Horror is a cool and scary game defined by very old-school elements and a lot of untapped potential. If you can swallow crude animations and the need to repeat many of the stages, you will be fine. If not, even the pretty surroundings and an interesting story may not be enough. Still, it could be much worse.

ReCore was supposed to be a great game - the idea, art direction and gameplay look awesome. Unfortunately true fun lies somewhere beneath lots of technical issues. If only the developers had a few more months to deliver a truly cool platformer/shooter that would become something fresh in this sandbox filled market... ReCore promised more than it ultimately delivered.

This interesting FPP puzzle game borrows a lot from Valve's Portal but doesn't surpass it in any way. The puzzles are interesting but repetitive and after a while the gameplay becomes a bit boring. The technical side could also be better but if you like such games, The Turing Test could be a nice surprise for you. The story added on top of the puzzles is definitely worth your time.

Cyberpunk lovers that impatiently wait for Shadowrun Returns or Cyberpunk 2077 can forget about Remember Me and wait for their dream games while playing checkers. But if what you want is some simple beat'em up with many cut scenes and you're not expecting a big hit, you can consider buying this game. A few hours needed to finish this adventure should be enjoyable, but the game quickly becomes repetitive.

I'm certain that many fans of Civilization will quickly abandon playing ARA: History Untold. No Civ demands such careful consideration of the smallest details and micro-dependencies from the player. You need to ask yourself: do you want to conquer lands or manage the production of cement and ploughs? If the latter sounds interesting, you're right where you need to be.

Soul Hackers 2 turned out quite pleasant a game, yet I'm also fully aware it's one that will be completely forgotten once other, similar games appear.

It's hard to rate Urban Empire. On one hand we get a really cool mixture of economics, ideology and politics, and the entire game is well made with minimalistic graphics and an excellent soundtrack. On the other hand playing through 200 years o history takes up to 6 hours, which are surprisingly dull.

Captain America: Super Soldier can't be called a total failure that all comic book fans should stay away from. But it's not a game that is equal to the best of the genre. What we got is a quite well produced game with deep and good looking fights. If smacking down enemies is the most fun thing for you, you can try it out. If not - look for something more complex, prettier and longer.

Development of cooperative games is a contemporary standard. A gamer aware of the fact that he or she can play the game with a friend, brother, father or a stranger on the other side of the planet is a happy gamer. Even if sometimes it turns out that the game isn't as good when played alone. That's why it's hard to grade Hunted: The Demon's Forge – I had a good time, but I'm aware of all the imperfections of this game.

The game has lots of flaws but it's hard to overlook the fact that during a dozen or so hours I had fun. This imperfect collection of ideas has that elusive element of satisfactory gameplay. I can recommend it to gamers with co-op partners that know that it's just a shooter set in a familiar universe.

Anthem is a constant emotional see-saw. There is a lot of fun from flying, shooting and admiring this beautiful world, and almost as much frustration due to a surprising amount of bad ideas and issues. Some won't be bothered by them and keep flying, and others will go somewhere else. Anthem is a game to both love and to hate at the same time.

The Outer Worlds 2 is okay, and perhaps that is its biggest flaw – it is unable to match either its powerful rivals or New Vegas, to which it is merely derivative and doesn't make up for it with its storyline or companions. In a year packed with excellent games, it's hard to justify buying it when there are so many great, cheaper RPGs out there.

Another DLC for Mass Effect 2 turned out to be quite mediocre. The story on its micro level doesn't bring about impressions similar to the basic game. Lack of emotional ties with the main female character and very few moral choices don't engage the player. However, this DLC is being saved from oblivion due to the macro level of presetned events and their connection to the main storyline. Reapers' involvement plays an important part.

Star Wars: Battlefront is a game that looks and sounds awesome, has amazing maps and a very cool arcade way of shooting things. Unfortunately it feels like an incomplete game with little content and some really silly unlockables. Fans of the universe will be happy but everyone else should wait for a "full" package with a lower price tag.

The experiment which is Need for Speed: The Run has failed. It's not an unplayable game, of course. You can spend a couple of fun hours, but only after accepting some controversial gameplay solutions. What is sad is the fact, that even the supporters of Black Box's new game can't play too long in single player modes and that affects the final grade.

Despite a fairly large amount of flaws, The Amazing Spider-Man is an enjoyable game. It's not the best encounter with virtual Spidey (for me it's Shattered Dimensions), but I believe that the story and fun of flying over Manhattan are enough, to give it a chance. Unoriginal missions, poor stealth mechanic and and idiotic AI can turn people off, but it's still worth a shot (and the single-player campaign takes about 8 hours).

Warface is a pretty good game (in its category), but after a while is becomes repetitive and shallow. You need to remember, that the competition in the F2P category is huge and if I were to give Crytek's game a higher note, then my favorite PlanetSide 2 would go off the scale. PS2 is simply a much better game worthy of sacrificing your youth for. Warface is worthy of an hour a day.

Hatred is a very playable game for fans of adrenaline and bloody thrills, although the content of the game is a bit controversial. The game could be longer, more diverse and better optimized (Unreal Engine 4 is hungry for power). And given the overall quality Hatred did not deserve all the media buzz surrounding its development and most likely it won't be remembered in a few years' time.

I'm guessing a patch will eliminate crashes I have experienced - then I'll be able to call the PC version of Assassin's Creed: Rogue a well made and optimized port. Everything really looks better and runs much smoother. Ubisoft seems to sail in the right direction but to see if some conclusions were made from Unity's flawed debut we'll have to wait till the premiere of AC: Victory.

I didn’t enjoy Boltgun that much. However, I’m sure it will appeal to gamers who don’t pay a lot of attention to gameplay balance or difficulty level. And if they are fans of the W40K universe and old-school first-person shooters, they will most likely love it.

Jaws of Hakkon is a peculiar add-on. If you have finished all quests in Dragon Age: Inquisition and still have an urge to explore this fantastic world or fight some monsters, this DLC will provide several hours of great fun. If you put the story in the first place and still have some unfinished quests, Jaws of Hakkon aren't for you.

If a high difficulty level was blocking you from trying various soulslikes, Wuchang can act as a gateway game to this genre. It will teach you the basics without punishing you too hard, but most likely will quickly fade from your memory. A few interesting ideas are not enough to outweigh the fact that Wuchang simply lacks personality.

Football Manager 26 has the potential to be one of the best installments in the series' history. But right now, I'm torn between enthusiasm for the potential and frustration with the current state of the game. The exciting new features are frustrating when the core usability of the game is problematic.

DriveClub is very pretty but full of contradictions and some design flaws. If you focus on multiplayer, you should give it a chance but remember: a quite unpleasant single player mode is unavoidable. The AI drives perfectly and therefore kills all the fun - until this issue is fixed, DriveClub remains a game for the most patient car lovers.

Sea of Thieves is a letdown. In its core it seems like a pleasant game for a few, or maybe a dozen hours that you can test for free by activating the Xbox Game Pass account. The cooperation in this game works really neat. But on the other hand, there are several problems like server issues and lack of content. Furthermore, the game is quite expensive.

Dreamfall Chapters is a good game that requires following the series from the beginning. You have to really know the characters and their worlds. Without it you get a game full of outdated gameplay solutions with mediocre technical side and occasional extremely boring parts. If you do not love The Longest Journey focus on something like Life is Strange, it'll be better for you.

Alien Rage is better than Sniper 2, but still looks like a game quickly put together. What's not good? An inconsistent basis for the game, unused potential of the "special kills" system and terrible AI. Still you need to remember, that Alien Rage isn't a AAA title, and as such will surely find an audience. But it's a pity that a truly excellent shooting mechanic wasn't used for something more special.

Fans of classic Metal Gear games will probably find little of interest here; their overall impressions of the game ought to be mediocre - Survive simply fails to captivate. The magical atmosphere known from Snake's adventures is nowhere to be found. However, the new MGS should appeal to enthusiasts of survival - there's a lot of it here. If you like exploration, gathering and crafting, give it a shot.

Conqiustador's main problem is its small budget. You can't shake the feeling that lots of things weren't finished properly or were simply drafted. The developer's ambition was big, the end result is not that great. There are too few adventures, a too simple character development system, too schematic battles and the game lacks the option to act for yourself (instead, you always work for someone). All of this adds up to a sandbox game with an interesting universe and original story, that is boring and limited.

Naruto Online is a simple browser game that is pleasing to the eye and is bound to a very popular franchise. The gameplay is straightforward, battles are easy - many will consider this game a cool little "distractor" but other will find it boring. I'm a fan of the series and enjoy short gaming sessions with Naruto Online but I would love to get something more than grinding with well known characters.

As a regular representative of the genre the new Silent Hill 2 is quite good, and should deliver lots of fun to gamers that like this kind of games. But as a remake of one of the most important horror games in history this new version looks extremely mediocre, which in my eyes is a greater crime than making a simply bad game.

Close Quarters isn't able to stir up the same emotions as BF3 did, and turns it into a simple arcade shooter, similar to many other first person shooters out there. I won't deny, that an occasional match on Ziba Tower will happen for me, but my thoughts will stay with the original Battlefield 3.

I would really like to say that Datura is an exceptional game. An experiment that will unleash a storm showing a new way for story evolution in gaming. That's not the case - the game misses it's goal. But still it's an interesting take on the adventure genre, games in general and narration.

Grading this game isn't hard: it's a pleasant product for a reasonable price. It should appeal to players that are familiar with Fable series but that don't consider it to be something sacred. Remember that fun is dependent on the amount of friends playing with you.

The key factor in Replaced is whether you’ll be captivated by the visuals and immersed in the cyberpunk universe enough for them to push you forward despite the setbacks – and there are plenty of those, as the repetitive combat and unresponsive controls in the platforming sections can really try your patience. Ultimately, this is a game that’s better to look at than to play.

Vampyre's issues lie deep within the core gameplay design. DONTNOD shouldn't have attempted to make an RPG. Vampyr would have been much better off as a shorter adventure or action-adventure production such as Remember Me. It's a great shame that this exquisite artistic vision and superb atmosphere were, in the end, squandered.

If only the racing in F1 2015 was free of technical issues, had slightly better graphics and a better damage system, the game would stand on its own and wouldn't need additional gameplay modes (which aren't there). Right now F1 2015 looks more like an early access game that someday will become great. The biggest asset is having the current season in the summer and not later during the year.

The Infamy is just a short introduction to The Tyranny of King Washington and as such isn't of much value. The story seems intriguing, but it's much too short. Same thing with the gameplay - new skills are interesting, but there's not enough time to use them. The Tyranny of King Washington has the potential to be a great expansion, but if you're not a fan, don't buy this first episode and wait at least for one more.

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier has a good opening and it introduces a new protagonist in a cool way. Unfortunately the story keeps getting worse, the characters more irritating and the grand finale is an utter disappointment. This series needs a dramatic overhaul - here you'll find only a handful of memorable moments and lots of mediocrity.

Assassin's Creed III: Liberation is a game with a dual nature. On one hand - we finally have a true, big game from AC series on a handheld console with a lot of new and interesting ideas. On the other hand - the end result is mediocre. You could complain about almost everything: a weak storyline, a faulty fighting system, boring side-quests and some minor technical flaws. All in all - it's nothing special. I don't regret playing this game, but I can't say that it was spectacular.

You should take a look at The Adventures of Tintin. For a game that's just a marketing ploy tied with the movie it's suprisingly enjoyable, though mostly for younger gamers. Or perhaps less experienced - for hardcore gamers Ubisoft's game presents no challenge at all.

A lost opportunity. We wanted a game that will lift the series out of mediocrity - the advertising campaign promised us a game with a fresh approach to cooperative shooting. Unfortunately Warfighter is average at best. It's a simple shooter that doesn't stand out and will likely die covered in many new war-themed first person shooters. Perhaps it's time for yet another reboot and getting back to the roots, but with a hint of something new?

It seems that the Giant Software team has prepared the field to be cultivated but forgot to plant some seeds. A handful of new things and a new batch of machines and tools isn't enough to cover up lots of bugs in the mechanics and physics engine. Of course - Farming Simulator 2013 is being patched up, but is has too few interesting changes and too many old problems. Fans will play this game, but I believe everyone expected something more.

Assassin Creed: Rogue has not made me happy. It's not a bad game, far from it, but with a first story about a templar hunting assassins comes a responsibility to do something more. The developers have lost the chance to create something great. Mediocre story (with some fantastic moments), boring side-quests, forced lengthening of gameplay and lack of important novelties don't deserve any praise.

New Battlefront has an extremely mediocre single player campaign, which is as far from a viable reason to buy this game as it can be. The multiplayer mode provides lots of fun but at the same time it suffers from lootboxes which disrupt the balance on the battlefield. Star Wars: Battlefront II is a good game dragged down by bad business practices of the publisher.

Drastic changes to gameplay can be good, as proven by God of War. Unfortunately, King's Bounty 2 turns out merely an underwhelming experiment. In the past, we got a series of good tactical RPGs focused on combat, seasoned with some character building. Right now, we get a subpar imitation of The Witcher 3, where battles are just a minor addition.

Realpolitiks suffers from being designed simultaneously for the PC and mobile devices. It's really hard to create a game that will be successful on both platforms. Jujubee's creation takes inspiration from big, complex strategies and at the same time simplifies the mechanics and the audiovisual side. There will be no success on the PC, perhaps the future mobile edition can do more.

The core idea for The Settlers: New Allies is evidently a good one, but oversimplification of certain aspects of this famous series - while simultaneously trying to go back to the roots - was a mistake. Apparently, even Ubisoft didn't fully believe in its success as it didn't advertise the game at all.

Moving blocks and traversing pixelated waters of Loot River is fun, and I hope the developers will show the game’s full potential in the future. But right now, they need to fix it and make the gameplay more diverse.

The game has some amusing moments, is quite engaging and successfully evokes some emotions. At the same time, it can be very clumsy and if less time was spent on breast physics and more on gameplay and interface improvements, the title would be much more compelling.
