Black Mirror III, despite grim predictions of being a repetitive game and a failure, turned out to be a really good product. The next installment of the series does a good job of continuing the tale of Gordon family's curse, explains most of the ambiguities and probably ends the whole story.

Firewatch may be too short and with some minor technical issues but an excellent visual style, interesting characters, intriguing storyline and a very original place of action more than make up for that. Firewatch is something unique enough that is worth recommending not only to the fans of "walking simulator" games.

System Shock is finally back as one of the best cyberpunk games ever. The remake looks exactly like I remembered the original, and in a world dominated by games that tend to hold the player by the hand, it is shockingly refreshing to think for yourself.

Dungeon Siege III is a game that can't be graded without upsetting some gamers. They have been divided into two camps: the game's followers and opponents, and some examples of really fanatical behavior are peculiar indeed. But when I try to describe Obsidian Entertainment's new game in a calm and cool way, I have to say "at least satisfactory". A very gripping gameplay, arcade style combat, lots of RPG elements and interesting story and characters – these are the things that convinced me.

The Scorchers DLC is a cool proposition for fans of Rage. This unexpected release from Bethesda would have been even more surprising and impressive, if it had more content. Fortunately, this DLC is cheap and offers new missions, places, a great new weapons and some minor tweaks. Some other publishers would want to sell such a product in parts and for more money. You should also remember that playing Rage on a PC now is a completely new experience. No more freezing, crashes or textures popping-up in front of you - you should give it another try, and this DLC is a great excuse to do so.

I approached Dawn of War III without prejudice - I was only curious if yet another change in style and gameplay would work well. DoW II was a shock to many fans of the original but in the end it stood tall and is now considered a better game than its predecessor. I think the same thing will happen here. DoW III is bigger and more explosive in every way and I love it.

LEGO City: Undercover is a game that will become a great gift for children and parents alike. Playing together will surely provide tons of fun - it truly is a brick version of GTA for players of all ages. With this game Traveller's Tales proves that they fare better making their own stories than those based on movies.

The best quality of Siege of Dragonspear is the fact that it is a real Baldur's Gate game. This expansion is linked with its great predecessors not only by name - it fills the blanks between BG one and two and is full of RPG magic from the past. It could have been a bit better though - it's too linear and the Infinity engine is way past its prime.

In theory Anomaly 2 is a sequel better in every way, but after a closer look you can see some flaws. The game is prettier and more spectacular that its predecessor, has a lot of interesting ideas and guarantees the same amount of fun. What it lacks, is more content - the campaign is too short, and the multiplayer mode has too few maps and variations. This is a well made evolution, and not a revolution.

Tropico 4: Modern Times is a very good add-on that expands on all the possibilities of the basic game. A long, complex story mode allows for a full usage of new buildings, edicts and new solutions introduced with technological advancements, and facing world's problems in a micro scale gives a lot of satisfaction.

LEGO Batman 2 is a true milestone for the series. A brick-made Batman rose up to the challenge and overtook it's predecessor by light years. The game's biggest assets are: an introduction of an open world, an interesting story and surprising plot twists. The new LEGO Batman is almost addictive – exploring the game's world can take long hours, and visiting previously completed levels isn't a strange thing.

Get Even is an interesting hybrid - you'll find pieces of a walking simulator, a stealth game, a shooter, a puzzle adventure and a really well written thriller. Not only the story is pretty exceptional - so are the audio and music. The overall quality is good enough to prevent mediocre graphics and some level cloning from having fun. Good job.

A great shooter that combines TPP action with rail shooting. The developer has struck gold by filling the game with enormous amounts of content. The game provides lots of fun - dozens of hours even, if you sum up the single player campaign, playing with secrets, weapons and perks, and the time spent in multiplayer.

Triangle Strategy is one of these games that is more than just a simple sum of its elements. But remember - Japanese tactical RGPs are odd. If you haven't played anything from this genre, be sure to check out the demo version first.

It Takes Two is a terrific game, albeit one that's hard to recommend without a certain mindset. 3D platformer enthusiasts sure won't be disappointed. And if they look for unique ways to cooperate with other players, they've just found an excellent proposition. But the narration is a different beast; a much weaker one. It's definitely a step down compared to A Way Out.

Satellite Reign is a very good game with a few minor issues. You simply have to like the freedom to guide your agents, the variety of ways to complete a task, a big, pretty city and an excellent cyber-punk atmosphere. Satellite Reign is respectful towards the legendary Syndicate - it's faithful to the original game but applies lots of news solutions.

Anarchy Reigns is a dream come true for some, and a mediocre game for others. At first glance, the game hides its potential well - the single player campaign is short and simple, and multiplayer is complex, demanding and hard to master. The game is uneven in the graphical department as well - maps are impressively big, there are some great monster and character designs, but terrible textures and a faulty physics and destruction system can put you off. But Anarchy Reigns is good at what it needs to be good at - being a great multiplayer beat'em up. Underneath some sloppiness there's a well designed game that is worth buying now, when people are playing it.

Liberated is an ambitious and fascinating game from a small developer. Everything you see takes place inside a comic book - it's stylish and has a hauntingly probable story. However, uninspired platforming sections may be off-putting, but you should be otherwise very happy with this experiment.

Lovers of adventure games have had some big expectations regarding The Next Big Thing and the developers have met most of them. This is by far the best Pendulo game. An original gameworld spawned a great variety of characters and locations, and the story - although a little humorous - keeps the player entertained and immersed. Dan and Liz are very likable and we tend to cheer for them from the first minute.

While exploring Freedom Cry I felt that the money was well spent - it's without a doubt the best and the biggest DLC in the history of Assassin's Creed series. You need to approach Adewale's adventures without too much seriousness, and Freedom Cry will surely meet your expectations. The end result is this - if you really liked Black Flag, you simply have to buy this expansion.

Destiny 2 is more of the same. A little prettier, a little more interesting, a little easier. After playing for dozens of hours I know I'll spend much more time with Destiny 2. There is no better game about shooting aliens that is so much fun. And looking at the first game and its evolution over the years it's hard not to wonder - what kind of game D2 will be in the future? A great one, I'm sure.

Whistleblower is a great addition to a very good original Outlast. The fear factor is a bit weaker, than in the basic game, but there are plenty of strong emotions. The gameplay mechanics are recycled, but the game adds great story and a much heavier atmosphere. And you have to be satisfied with a worthy finale to really a dark story. All in all - great DLC.

There are a few prerequisites you have to meet in order to enjoy Fire Emblem: Three Houses for dozens of hours: you can't be weirded out by the Japanese weird, you have to accept the unique visual style and hundreds of silly (but mandatory) conversations and activities, including fishing, growing plants and eating soup. If you think you lack at least one of the above skills, we recommend finding another game.

Observer is a must buy for cyberpunk fans. Bloober Team's ambitions grow and this game is a good example. An interesting idea, well designed visions, pretty graphics and superb soundtrack are worth the price of admission. It's still a "walking simulator", but a very good one.

Halo Wars 2 is a very pleasant, fast and dynamic RTS that does everything very well. What's really important it the fact that 343 Industries' game works great as a console RTS. It's less complicated than its PC counterparts but represents the genre with pride and has no competition on Xbox One.

Until Dawn is a great example of interactive cinema. Here we have a great looking game with interesting characters and truly impactful decision making moments. The story isn't groundbreaking but the entire product is a well thought out slasher that doesn't allow to save your progress manually (and that creates tons of tension!).

Lara Croft GO is high quality product for fans of puzzle games. Eidos Montreal has created a pretty, atmospheric and a very well designed and engrossing (well, in the second half) game. At the beginning it doesn't shine but soon everything falls into place - except the price (a bit too high) and length (a bit too short).

Quotation forthcoming.

Super Mario Run is a very good mobile game without microtransactions or annoying ads, which turns out to be short. Is it worth a fairly large amout of money for just a few hours of fun? If you like platformers, the answer is simple: yes! And I'm thrilled about it.

The Skywalker Saga is exactly what we expected it to be - a fun LEGO version of our favorite movies with dozens of hours of solving puzzles, climbing stuff and destroying everything in our path. A perfect game for kids, or to unwind after a hard day.

I’m very happy with my time with EA FC 26. Changes from last year’s edition are clearly visible, and the gameplay is simply better. I had no issus with performance on PS5 Pro. But please have in mind that my impressions could change if EA decides to dramatically change the gameplay (this had happened in the past).

Thanks to differentiated difficulty modes and a wide variety of assists, the developers have created a game suitable for both casual and more advanced gamers with some beautiful graphics to serve as an ornament for exciting races. It's a pity there are some minor flaws - especially those ridiculously long loading times can destroy the minds of less patient players. Codemasters' game is a step forward from last year's F1 - hardcore gamers won't find anything here but others surely will be satisfied and should enjoy sitting in a safe and well paid Formula 1 driver's seat.

Splatoon 2 is a game for the players who want truly colorful Nintendo fun. It may look small, poor and less intelligent that all the big online shooters, but getting to know this game can be a really good idea. Splatoon 2 is child-like but the playability is off the charts.

Those two God of War games are the best thing that happened to PlayStation Portable during its lifespan. At least that is the case when talking about western games - I presume that many lovers of japanese style won't feel the same way. But being a fan of good games and good slashers I wouldn't hesitate when thinking about buying this colelction. Well - maybe if you already have finished both games then I would wait for a lower price, but I wouldn't stay indifferent. God of War - Origins Collection is a great product.

While reviewing Humankind, I could only think about playing the game once again. Amplitude Studios' work proved to be an extremely engrossing strategy game that offers tons of fun despite some minor setbacks. Civilization finally has a worthy opponent.

People Can Fly couldn't have dreamed of a better time to launch their new game - with no big, new titles on the horizon. Outriders became a success almost off the bat and deservedly so, since it is a great shooter. A well-thought-out and splendidly designed Diablo-like action game.

In case someone was disappointed by the lack of freedom in The Medium, let it be known that Chernobylite brings much more leeway in terms of gameplay, while offering equally pretty graphics and dark atmosphere. Until the second S.T.A.L.K.E.R. arrives, there is no better game for visiting Chernobyl.

We're happy to say that Devil May Cry 5 is an exceptional slasher. The combat system is great, the opponents look cool, the storyline is the best in the series, and the graphics solid, though quite often inconsistent. The veterans should be aware, however, that the game offers proper challenge only on higher difficulty levels, which are locked at the beginning.

The gunfights are just OK, though. On the plus side, there's a system of crouching behind cover, like in a standard cover shooter, and a choice of several weapons that we can carry. But with the camera showing the action from above, even further away than in Midnight Fight Express, they're neither spectacular nor particularly engaging, and come down to pointing the cursor at the target. Fortunately, gunfights happen much less often than car chases, and it's in this area that The Precinct shines the most.

WRC 3 is a big step forward when compared to previous games. Milestone uses the WRC license very well - every new game looks considerably better. Better graphics is on par with better driving experience. The game is overall much better but some fans can be put off by a DiRT-y career mode. Still - it is the best rally game out there right now.

I can safely recommend NBA 2K23 to every sports games fan, even though the microtransactions are extremely aggressive. The gameplay is too good, and I hope future updates won’t break it.

The War Within is not a revolution, but a carefully planned evolution leading the game in a new direction. It's impossible to predict wether World of Wacraft will reclaim its MMO throne. The game now is very good but only time will tell if Blizzard is capable of keeping it this way.

WarioWare: Get It Together! will give you tons of fun in short bursts. What's more, it looks great during 4-player sessions. If you have only a minute or two to turn a boring party into a cool one - the new WarioWare is your best bet.

Can Batman: Arkham Origins be considered a failure? Definitely not, but it certainly is a game without a spark of genius. The developers have used previously constructed assets and prepared a well-crafted ending to the trilogy. It's not as good as Asylum or City, but fans shouldn't be disappointed. Origins is still a very good Batman game - not original, but extremely effective.

I was irritated by many things while playing Farming Simulator 25. Still, this is the best game in the series this far and a great foundation for future updates from the community – as long as the developers keep hearing what fans have to say.

Despite numerous technical issues, Valhalla is still a very good game. It's the best one among the RPG-oriented Assassin's Creed titles and one of the best games in the series. Ubisoft listened to the fans' complaints about Odyssey and created a game that successfully pleases the entire fanbase.

Complicated, complex and sometimes very difficult and at the same time original and satisfying. Big Pharma is an interesting game for people who like puzzle and strategy games. Building your own company and creating medicine can be really engrossing. It's not without flaws but fans of the genre should be very happy with it.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is a very good RPG with great gameplay and a superbly constructed world. But it's important to remember that it's a fairy tale - then the convention adopted won't be so glaring. Maybe I myself subconsciously fell into the trap of constantly referring to Persona? Because of this, it's a little difficult for me to talk about a groundbreaking work of art, but only about a truly unconventional game. Check it out for yourself.

Mafia: The Old Country is not trying to be a GTA clone, but instead sets a smaller scale and focuses fully on what is most important to the series. An atmospheric, dark and tight story set in a memorable location, together with solid gameplay mechanics and fluid performance, is exactly what the series needed to get back on track.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is one of the most original games of the year. It deals with a difficult theme and skillfully shows heavy emotions by picturing a war from an unusual perspective. A great story and superb audio-video aspect create an almost perfect game, although some simplifications and issues distort this image. Still, I will think about Valiant Hearts for a long time.

Invisible Inc. is based on strategy and long-term planning. Surviving the next turn is all that matters - the player's actions are rewarded with great satisfaction. The game suffers from a small variety of levels and mission types but it still shows that Klei Entertainment is at the top of their game among independent developers.

Homeworld 3 continues the gameplay that fans of the series know very well. At the same time, newcomers will easily find their way through the meanders of creating their own fleet - ready to crush all enemies that stand in its way. For strategy fans Homeworld 3 seems to be a must-have title, especially since the developers clearly want to support mods.

There are some games out there, which can only be appreciated when experienced first-hand - and Control is one of these. It has this magical ingredient that makes me want to play it again, even after beating the story. A superb, uncanny atmosphere, a twisted world, and some truly breathtaking set-pieces make this game worth every minute of your time.

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is a surprisingly good strategy game that does justice to the series and to the genre. I didn't seem that this desert version of a famous space RTS will be worth your time but as it turns out, Blackbird Studios delivered a worthy game that is beautiful and extremely playable.

War of the Chosen is a massive expansion that adds lots of new things. Most of the focus on the most important thing in any turn-based tactical strategy game - gameplay mechanics. The game has lots of solutions introduced in previous expansions but the key was to make the game even more enjoyable. It worked - XCOM 2 with War of the Chosen is one of the best tactical strategies.

Gunslinger is a well made game that put the series where it belongs (after a moment of weakness in the form of The Cartel) We get great, comic book-like graphics, a well told story and exciting shootings. There are two serious flaws: the dueling system is too complicated and unintuitive, and the damage system can easily become infuriating. But the good takes over the bad (and the game is far from "the ugly") and Gunslinger simply keeps you glued to the screen.

GRID 2 will undoubtedly please many fans of racing games, but it hasn't got the same level of magic its predecessor had. The game has a simple, arcade driving model and really pretty graphics that should appeal to casual gamers, and a really demanding and complex multiplayer mode for hardcore fans. What is more, the engine's optimization is flawless - GRID 2 looks and runs great even on older computers.

Rime doesn't introduce new quality in the business of interactive storytelling but borrows good things from the best. You'll find echoes of The Last Guardian, Ico or Zelda, then you'll appreciate tons of passion, and in the end you will probably become very fond of this game and remember it for a long time.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a game that is built on the solid foundations of the first installment of the rebooted cycle and as such it works great. Unfortunately, because of the few novelties (e.g. heavily modified crafting system), the game is no longer the emotional roller-coaster that it was during our stay on Yamatai island. As a next installment in the series the adventures of Lara Croft work well, but the famous Miss Archaeology won't come away completely unscathed from a duel with Uncharted 4.

I’m as captivated as I am frustrated by Forza Horizon 6. It’s still the best open-world racing game on the market and I intend to spend hundreds of hours playing it – but after a four-year wait and significant competition, I was expecting more innovation. It’s simply more of the same, just on a fresh and beautiful map.

Might & Magic X is a well-designed game that demands some patience. It's definitely not the prettiest and has some irritating technical issues, but all in all is a great return of an old franchise. It generates lots of old-school fun and will generate even more (hundreds of hours of gameplay are possible, the developers only have to deliver on their promise to make modders' lives easier).

A really good game and it would get the highest grade in its category, if it wasn't for some technical issues. What is more, this game isn't for everybody. It's difficult to begin, soon gets even more complicated and overwhelms with the amount of things to take care of. But all of this seemed great for me - I want a sequel that has a much bigger budget!

Bayonetta 3 is a good game and the best genre representative since Devil May Cry 5. The developers really strove to breathe some fresh air into the series. At the same time, however, it's disappointing as a sequel, as it plays it too safe.

Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty is a very well made DLC, but it's not for everyone. Fans of the first game, people who love the constant grind and looking for better loot, will have the most fun. If you want to complete this DLC once (and only for the story) you'll be disappointed. The plot is really cliché and without anything special, and fighting the same opponents between episodes can be a bore. What is more, the notice board has some really dull side quests. All in all - even though guys from Triptych Games missed the goal here and there - this DLC is a must buy for every Borderlands fan.

DmC isn't exactly what fans wanted - many changes could have been avoided, and the combat system seems too simple. The latter is most painful to all the hardcore gamers, that have perfected their fighting skills in previous games. On the other hand DmC is a really good game that keeps you glued to the screen until you see the final cut-scene. The best way is to approach it without prejudice and don't compare it to older installments. DmC isn't a fifth game in the series, it's a spin-off (much like Price of Persia from 2008) and I'd be glad to get a sequel of this particular game (it has more potential in many aspects).

Tales from the Borderlands marks the return to high form after a mediocre (in my opinion) second season of The Walking Dead. The new Telltale Games production has poor gameplay, isn't very pretty, and the decisions often signify nothing. And yet again a great story, excellent characters and superb humor make you believe it's a very good game.

One could say that Nintendo is rehashing golden oldies for the Switch. But you have to admit that Wii U wasn't very popular, and it would be a shame to lose many great games due to the platform's popularity. That's why this new version of Super Mario 3D World, accompanied by a really interesting Bowser's Fury stand-alone title, looks so interesting.

Triumph Software is a skilled bunch of people that have created a really good strategy game. You could have some reservations about the graphics, very minimal portrayal of different castles or not strong enough focus on diplomacy, but none of these issues spoils the fun. Age of Wonders III is a well made, extremely playable game.

Avowed is a great RPG, it’s as simple as that. This game made me forget about mediocre The Outer Worlds and refueled my trust for Obsidian. Their new game, though smaller in scope and not without some rough edges, is full of all the things that made New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity or Tyranny so good. For fans of a more classic approach to RPG, it's a must-see.

Capcom does it again. Resident Evil 3 may by shorter and more linear than I'd fancy, but the 7 hours needed to complete the story whizzed by and I was more than content. The game is pretty, interesting and has the one and only - Nemesis. Ah, Nemesis.

Fans of overcoming obstacles will be happy. If you liked previous Team Ninja games (and Sekiro), don't think twice. A higher accessibility enabled Rise of the Ronin to be one of this studio's best games. If not the best!

Fallout Shelter is not a big, complex and ambitious game but it works great as a way to kill some time before Fallout 4. It's fun, atmospheric, offers lots of good gameplay and simply put - keeps you glued to your screen. You can't expect much more from a typical mobile game aimed at a mass audience.

Orcs Must Die! 2 is a very good successor to a well made original OMD. Orc extermination gives you a lot of fun, and thanks to an extended arsenal, trap upgrades, new enemies and an excellent co-op mode the gameplay is even better than before. Unfortunately there aren't many levels – the game could benefit from some extra stages. We can bet that the developers will offer new levels in future DLCs.

Banished is a great example of an excellent game created without massive resources. Shining Rock Studios combined well-known solutions with new ideas that generate hours of interesting and very demanding gameplay set in a likeable world. Creating and expanding your own settlement provide tons of fun, and giving food and shelter to your subjects is extremely satisfying. Banished is one of the nicest surprises of the year so far.

A futuristic FPS from Poland? This autumn has more to offer than just Cyberpunk 2077. Ghostrunner is a very intense "one-hit game" - you kill them, or they kill you. The 8 hours I have spent with the game provided tons of fun. I can even say that I became addicted to being in constant movement and playing with death by using a trial and error method.

The Wolf Among Us is yet another good game from Telltale Games. One major flaw is dismissing some characters - that's the reason the first season of The Walking Dead is and will be a better offering. Everything else - from the atmosphere to the storyline - is really good. Apparently Lee and Clementine's adventure wasn't a one-time high quality offer. I can recommend this game with a clear conscience.

I think this is the best musou games have to offer, both in terms of gameplay and presentation. And if you have never tried this type of game, it’s a great moment to do so - Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a truly great game when compared to its predecessors.

You have to appreciate advancements in the visual department and lots of small but pleasant fixes in the career mode. But FIFA 17 doesn't deserve to be called "the best virtual football game". There are too many issues of different kind and this year PES is simply better. FIFA generates fun (as always) but I think the expectations were bigger.

Dispatch is a very interesting spin on the „interactive adventure” formula, and this band of super-misfits probably will steal your hearts as efficiently as the Guardians of the Galaxy or Invincible’s allies did some years earlier. And the best part: the developers have total control and don’t have to listen to any IP owners out there. This game really is a great animated series.

Splatoon 3 is simply a very good game that can be, however, considered a bit too derivative. But if I were to rate this game without the context of the prequels, the impression would be quite excellent.

Valorant is a great mix of well-known online shooter mechanics. The developers haven't created anything unique or special, but they have nailed the most important aspect - Valorant is really, really fun to play. An additional success - almost everyone has now heard about this game thanks to the controversial marketing.

Superhot made quite a leap from the prototype stage to full version and changed for the better in the process. A fair warning though, if you crave a deep storyline and don't like additional challenges or levels the fun will end quickly. But if you love first person shooters and tend to max out every game you own, you might just have found your new favorite FPS. It's original and unique and deserves your attention.

The developers haven't created a new game. Even though Global Offensive has some small innovations, it's mostly an adjustment of a well known game to today's standards. After a few hours I felt some kind of relief, that Valve kept the good old CS intact, but then something hit me. There are no radical changes – only a very obvious lifting, and this series is in trouble. CS:GO is a great game only because the original CS is a great game. If you're not a fan of this kind of gameplay, don't buy Global Offensive – it offers nothing more.

Galaxy on Fire 2 Full HD is a well made conversion of a good smartphone game. Although the game has some flaws, it keeps you glued to the screen. A fairly big amount of freedom and a very pleasant gameplay model are the game's biggest assets. You could want it to be a more complex, "bigger" game, but you need to remember, that it's not an AAA title and its simplicity should appeal to many players. If you play for no more than 2-3 hours at once, you should have a very good time – especially if you treat GoF2 as an arcade action game and not a space fighter simulator.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny was a great game on PS2 and nothing has changed more than 2 decades later. The remaster has the same set of good and bad things, with some quality of life changes and bonuses that will appeal mostly to fans of the series.

SpellForce: Conquest of Eo is so magnetic it can be tough to stop playing. After finishing one game, you immediately want to start another – just to use the new knowledge.

Tales from the Borderlands marks the return to high form after a mediocre (in my opinion) second season of The Walking Dead. The new Telltale Games production has poor gameplay, isn't very pretty, and the decisions often signify nothing. And yet again a great story, excellent characters and superb humor make you believe it's a very good game.

You should definitely pay attention to Gran Turismo 6, even though there's a new PlayStation on the market. GT6 may not have some key features present in the previous installment, but right now it's the most versatile, rich and interesting console racing game. There are some minor issues, but all in all, it will keep you entertained for dozens of hours (mainly due to tons of content and a great new driving model). It's a worthy farewell to the PS3.

Atilla is the same for Rome II, as Napoleon was for Empire - a very interesting and playable expansion. But is Total War: Attila interesting for fans of the entire series? Definitely! It's a game aimed at Medieval II enthusiasts. You get diverse factions, a correct strategy map and a great nation management system based on a tech tree and family tree. It's not perfect but it is very good.

Little Nightmares is a little pearl of a game. For a low price we get 4 hours and a really memorable interactive story. Limbo, Inside and Journey just got a new, cool friend. As usual there are some things missing but the heavy atmosphere and tons of emotions make it all worthwhile.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a truly excellent remaster worth of every praise. The game not only brings back memories of what used to entertain PlayStation owners but it also presents a forgotten genre of 3D platformers in a cool way that should interest younger gamers.

Wild Hearts is not flawless and you can see it was made on a budget, but it's a great starting point for a franchise. Most gameplay mechanics are good enough and some are even exceptional.

Rise of the Necromancer is a pricey enterprise but the return of a beloved class can't be treated as a flaw, especially when that return is really well done. The 2.6.0 patch itself deserves praise as well - new locations, Challenge Rifts and an excuse to complete the campaign one more time are clear signs of a reanimation well done.

I like Red Faction: Armageddon as much, as I like Guerilla. Both of them love to destroy everything in sight, even though they are really different games. I think that people who like previous installments of the series will definitely feel at home and should have lots of fun. Lack of an open world is compensated by a well compacted and explosive gameplay. Destruction is really absorbing and a well balanced introduction of novelties keeps the game fresh. It's a pity there is no real multiplayer but it's still a good deal for your money.

Unique, very pretty graphics and a way to choose separate difficulty levels for various parts of the game are very strong features of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. But are they worth a fairly high premiere price?

I had a blast playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown without feeling bored, frustrated or overwhelmed. And the game is far from a breeze. It's a great metroidvania with a smart decision to go back to the series' platforming roots.

Cole MacGrath returns in style and his personal progress reflects itself it the game's quality. InFamous 2 is a sequel that develops knows ideas in a good way. The story is more compelling and expressive and our hero has some new, useful powers. The game takes us to some interesting (but a little imitative) places and guarantees a lot of fun challenges and spectacular battles. All of it would benefit from some basic tweaking – mission differentiation, city landscape upgrades and control improvements. But these faults are nothing when compared to the game's advantages. InFamous 2 is a dream come true for fans of the original and other similar games.

You could say, that the PC version of 2011 Mortal Kombat wins the battle, but it's not a flawless victory. Nevertheless, you should check it out - your keyboard will suffer from a brutal fatality, but the amount of fun is satisfying. It's a great beat'em up for solo players - the game has lots of modes and challenges, but it's also great for parties - up to 4 players can play on one machine. The developers need to control some online issues and minor bugs, and the experience will truly be "komplete".
