Modern Warfare Remastered on the PS4 is one of the best remasters in recent memory. It's a game worth having - especially if we played the original only when it came out or (what's even worse) we haven't at all. And when the multiplayer issues are resolved and the game becomes a stand-alone product, it'll be great.

Call of Duty needs freshening up. Infinite Warfare has a surprisingly good single-player campaign and a still really good multiplayer. Unfortunately all of this looks like minimal touch ups on a gameplay core that hasn't changed in a decade. Players seem to think the same - new CoD debuted in a disappointing fashion, plus the console version behaves better than the PC one.

Watch Dogs 2 is a bold sequel with some issues. Not all gameplay modifications are good, there are some bugs and performance on consoles isn't perfect. What's more the main story is pretty far from interesting but fortunately side missions remedy that. Ubisoft's new game can be really entertaining but you can't take it seriously. It works well as a cool and pretty funny product.

The experiment that is episode based first season of Hitman is both a success and a failure. 6 new maps and 6 new missions are mostly great - that's the most important core of the game that works well. What doesn't work is the story. It's not that interesting and there's too little of it. The question is - what is the most important thing to you?

It is really rare to play such an uneven AAA title. Mafia III has some amazing moments that exist next to some really bad ones. The most important thing for this series - the storyline and atmosphere (by the way, totally different than before) - is truly great. But in order to enjoy the game you have to forgive a metric ton of issues, ugly graphics and some repetitiveness.

Battlefield 1, DICE's newest baby, leaves its competitors in the dirt. It's a full-fledged installment in the series, a game on the Bad Company 2 or Battlefield 3 level. A game that offers an eagerly awaited atmosphere of a real historical conflict. BF1 officially ends all this futuristic and plastic warfare nonsense and returns to the roots.

This new Dragon Ball game doesn't introduce anything really new and has some technical issues but overall this mix of different genres can generate lots of fun and still has some potential. It's a pity that Xenoverse 2 looks like game created by a soulless machine - it could be great.

Respawn Entertainment's new game is worthy of recommendation. The single-player campaign is a welcome and well made addition. On the other hand, multiplayer has been altered in a minimal way but that's ok - if it works well don't "fix" it. Simply put, Titanfall 2 is one of the best shooters around. Period.

Right now Farming Simulator 17 is the best game for virtual farming rookies. It's simply a good game with a surprisingly good technical side (for this genre, of course) and a quite diverse gameplay. Unfortunately - veterans of the series won't find anything new. Farming Simulator is in the same place it was 2 years ago. It only works better.

Civilization VI is pretty much the best incarnation of the famous series on release day. It takes things from Civ V and makes them better, plus it introduces many changes and new additions. And it's really pretty. There are some classic issues with a not-so-smart AI on top of the pile, but the "one more turn" syndrome is strong. And that's the best recommendation you can give.

PS4 owners have finally gotten one of the best games of 2015. This version of Rise of the Tomb Raider has been enhanced with add-ons and new game modes and as such is an instant "must have". All the great things about Lara's adventure are still in effect and the only chance to receive a better game of this kind is with the next installment of the series.

Flying Wild Hog's new game has some stuff that could have been done better but the amount of good things is simply overwhelming. Shadow Warrior 2 embodies visceral combat, RPG elements, pretty graphics and humor. This is a worthy entry to the "really cool shooter" category and can boldly stand right next to Doom. Hopefully we'll get Shadow Warrior 3 sooner than later.

Gears of War 4 is simply more of the things that players know and love. The developers may have failed during the creation of a cool single-player campaign and the new heroes are pale shadows of previously used veterans but the multiplayer portion of the game shines. This is its strongest part that deserves every praise.

You don't need to fear for the quality of FIFA 17 on PC - everything looks great. The PC port of the newest game from EA Sports not only isn't inferior to the console versions but some things look and feel even better. That's what I call fair play.

The Way is a really well done, pretty and atmospheric platformer that resembles Flashback or Another World. We get some beautiful pixel art, a truly excellent soundtrack and tons of fun gameplay (exploring a mysterious planet is always fun!). The developers could have spent more time on the controls but all in all the results are pretty good. The Way is a very pleasant surprise.

Obduction is a gift for fans of Myst. Creators of the hit series from the past have created a well written and perfectly executed story that engages the player. Beware - it is a game for patient people that like to wander around in confusion while looking for a solution to another difficult puzzle. Despite some minor technical issues the entire experience was really satisfying.

For the first hour of gameplay The Final Station seems like a very, very good game. In time some issues come to light - mostly associated with dialogue and repetitiveness. Still it is a pretty solid debut of Do My Best Games. There weren't many better indie games this summer.

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.

Farm Expert 2017 shows the specifics of being a true farmer in a really good way - there's much to do. Unfortunately there won't be many people who will do it - this is a great candidate for Gaming Razzies in the "worst technical side" category. Many moons will pass before this game is playable. Frustration instead of fun.

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.

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.

BioShock is an outstanding franchise that hasn't aged despite a change in hardware generations. This collection is a great excuse to revisit Rapture and Columbia (for some players) and an excellent starting point to discover this world for the very first time (for others). Console owners should feel appreciated, PC owners not so much (another case of a port being done poorly).

Virginia is a living proof that "walking simulators" don't have to be boring. This is an exciting and engaging story that is different from a typical videogame. The narration - inspired by Twin Peaks and The X-Files - makes you really want to see the finale (which is great by the way).

Some say that Pro Evolution Soccer shouldn't be forgiven the lack of basic licenses. But in case of PES 2017 you could be tempted to forget about it because the gameplay is superb. Many different plays, competent AI, realistic movement and tons of fun after every successful action create a sense of wonder. There are some issues but overall the new PES is definitely better than the previous one.

The PC version of PES 2017 features most of the positive gameplay changes implemented in the console version but that's the only positive thing I can say about this game. You can't justify paying a full price for a product that hasn't changed technically since 2013. It would be better to have forgotten about PCs altogether. You should be ashamed, Konami.

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.

Blizzard does it again. Legion is one of the best (if not THE best) expansion in the history of World of Warcraft. I'm having as much fun as with The Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King. The game returned to its roots and is offering a sense of true wonder. Even if PvP is a bit broken there's no better time to return to WoW.

Forza Horizon 3 is such a good game that it's difficult to find a racing game that is more interesting, has more content and generates similar amounts of fun. The audiovisual portion of the game is excellent and makes the new NFS pale in comparison (and that applies beyond the graphics). Forza Horizon 3 sets the bar so high that right now it seems impossible to reach it.

The new Cossacs game can be pleasant. It has very pretty graphics, atmospheric music and deals with a rarely visited historical period. But all of that is overshadowed by an abysmally stupid AI (even by low RTS standards). Cossacs 3 turned out to be a refreshed mediocre RTS with the same flaws from 16 years ago. Shame.

The new Master of Orion can glue you to the screen for many hours. It has things executed very well - from designing ships, to diplomacy, to combat. The biggest flaw is this: this new MoO relies too much on old games. It's great to try and revive old magic but novelties from mid-90s are now standard. More unique things would do this game good.

Well known and loved Worms had to wait a while for a game that is as good as old 2D installments of the series. Worms WMD proves that extreme modifications aren't necessary - the key is to give fans what they want: more worms, more destruction and classic physics. That plus some cool little new things turn this Worms game into a real gem.

Deus Ex GO was supposed to be a well made, good looking puzzle game and it turned out to be exactly that. It's a third installment in the GO series aimed at fans of simple mind-games and minimalistic graphics that want to expand their knowledge of the Deus Ex universe. Just like Lara Croft and Hitman - DX GO is simply very good.

Great expectations for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided made it look a bit worse than Human Revolution (even though the new DX is a really good game). The good things: improvements in gameplay mechanics, freedom of choice and great atmosphere are outweighed by a really mediocre storyline that casts a shadow on an overall great achievement.

The Solus Project - an interesting space survival adventure - has a truly magnificent, magical, diverse and very interesting world. It's definitely the biggest asset of this game. The gameplay calls back to some old-school mechanics and does it pretty well. Shame that the storyline and characters are so weak. Still - fans of Interstellar should give it a go.

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter is an uneven game. Making Sherlock younger and having him take part in action scenes was a good idea but the execution is poor at best. Still there are some excellent mini-games, interesting investigation and a truly great deduction board. If only the game handled it's characters better it would be glorious. The end result is ok but the potential is far from being fully realized.

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.

Inside is a truly unique platformer that is a better and more mature brother of famous Limbo (that came from the same studio). Everything you see on the screen is extremely well thought out and the way that one anonymous character in the background conveys tons of emotions with a simple move is astounding. Only the best could have achieved such a thing and I'm sure Inside will be remembered for years.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Has some issues and takes some shortcuts but I had tremendous fun playing the game (ever more than watching the actual movie). The game is really funny, demanding for younger gamers and offers tons of cool stuff to unlock. It's no revolution but the overall feeling is great.

SteamWorld Heist is a steampunk tactical game with attitude and a cool gameplay mechanic. It's a truly great product that has become one of the best indie games of the year. There's a lot to be satisfied about: great graphics, excellent combat and interesting dialogue. Fans of high difficulty levels and tactical, turn-based games and should definitely give it a go.

Song of the Deep is a very pleasant but mostly unoriginal game. It's pretty but not as much as Ori and the Blind Forest, the weapons are cool but not as inventive as in other games of the same studio. Still - this underwater adventure is worth your time but it could use some polishing.

Fallout Shelter on the PC is a lightweight strategy game that takes its time to gain momentum but generates reasonable amounts of fun. On one hand it has some issues, on the other the "just one more click!" syndrome is present and finally the game looks the way it should have from the beginning. Fallout Shelter needs some polishing and isn't perfectly suited for this platform but it definitely deserves your attention.

I'm a hardcore pokemon fan and it pains me to admit that Pokemon GO is an unfinished product that still requires some work. It's hard to fairly grade such a social phenomenon so soon, especially when it can provide real fun. Walking around your own city, meeting other players and pokemon is really cool but right now Pokemon GO is just a good idea that has not reached its full potential.

Bohemian Killing has a very interesting idea for a non-linear gameplay that crumbles under a ton of issues. It would work great as a free browser game and right now I can't recommend buying it. This adventure as an affair for one (not very engaging) session. Everything looks as if it was a demo, a part of something bigger but still unfinished. And it's a pity because you can clearly see the potential.

This is the Police is a living proof that a fairly simple concept of managing a police station can be presented in a very interesting manner, with a well written story and lots of difficult choices to make. Studio Weappy has created one of the most interesting indie games of the year. A game that surprises the player with constantly changing conditions.

The several hours needed to complete Phantaruk were quite pleasant. Sure, there are lots of better indie games (especially in the "scary" genre) but Polyslash has a chance to dazzle gamers with their next game. Their debut is a well done mix of horror and stealth that needs some polishing and a better story.

No Man's Sky is a very interesting experiment and a boring videogame. First hours are really pleasant but the magic disappears pretty quickly and you're left with a repetitive and uninteresting obligation to explore new planets. In time it could be something really good but right now it's flawed both on the technical and gameplay side (and the finale is disappointing to say the least). My expectations were shattered.

Abzu is a truly unique indie game that stands out among the faceless mass of other small games. The developers have shown an incredible attention to detail and have presented the player with a great, very well directed story. It's short and has almost no gameplay mechanics but it's still worth it. There is a secret, a plot and friendship.

An old-school looking strategy game like Crush Your Enemies is a product with chances of making it big on larger mobile devices. It has lots of potential and doesn't scare you with microtransactions. Unfortunately releasing this game on the PC was not a good idea. The controls are clunky, the price too high and the overall feeling - mediocre.

The Technomancer is a very pleasant surprise. Studio Spiders has learned a lot from their mistakes and is on the way to joining the best RPG developers in the business. The game proves how big the quality leap is in terms of gameplay mechanic, graphics, atmosphere and storyline. If The Technomancer sells well, the developers will be able to put more effort and money into upcoming games (and that will be good for everybody).

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a good game. Nothing less, nothing more. Trying to find innovation and enriching the basic formula from the previous game by introducing an open world did not do much good. The best parts of the game are when we're completing linear, scripted missions. Exploring the city becomes monotonous after a few hours. In other words - it should be a better game but fans of Assassin's Creed will be pleased.

Hearts of Iron IV has some not especially well-done economical solutions but at the same time has such a great combat system, wide scope and a very complex gameplay that it's a perfect game for seasoned strategy fans. All of this is also quite pretty and much more approachable for newbies (without sacrificing anything along the way).

Battleborn is a complete gaming package - it has 25 interesting characters, tons of things to unlock and cool story-driven missions. It is a pity that it tries too much to be a game for everyone - there's something for fans of single-player games, something for fans of cooperation and something suited online competition. Overwatch focuses on one thing and is well polished, Battleborn more or less fails in every aspect and is only OK, nothing more.

Stellaris presents an Elon Musk level of innovation - it's a really engrossing cosmic strategy that kept me entertained for long hours. There are some cracks on the surface (passive AI and a dull middle part of the game) but they don't matter. Stellaris is extremely pleasant and in the future - after some improvements - can become a true revelation.

I've seen lots of indie games better than Shadwen which has been created by an experienced studio. For me - after the premiere of Trine 3 - Frozenbyte wasn't in a good place and right now it seems it has lost its way completely. Shadwen uses some good ideas (like SUPERHOT's time meddling) but the complete package is simply weak and uninspired.

Shadow of the Beast is not a real remake but at the same time it's not a modern, stand-alone title. There are lots of archaic mechanisms in place but all in all I had a very good time. This is a very graceful retelling of the Beast story (mostly for older players), unfortunately without much perspectives for a future sequel.

After more than 70 hours spent with Total War: Warhammer I can confidently say that it is one of the best strategies of the year (and the year isn't over yet). Creative Assembly has used its experience and applied well known solutions but there's a ton of new stuff that freshen up the Total War brand in a very good way.

The second expansion to Witcher 3 - Blood and Wine, is a multi-hour adventure that expertly mixes all the things we know and love with very interesting novelties. The new land is breathtaking, the story and characters are enchanting and the interface finally is almost perfect. Every story needs an ending and this one is one of the most satisfying ever.

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.

Doom has a great solo campaign and a so-so multiplayer mode. Fortunately the single-player portion of the game is the most important and Doom shines spectacularly on this field. It's a pity that there are some technical issues that keep you from fully enjoying the game. One or two big patches will remedy the situation but right now Doom's evident greatness sometimes becomes a bit overshadowed by minor flaws.

I have recently finished all previous episodes of the series and the verdict is in - A Thief's End is the best Uncharted there is. It expertly combines all the things we know and love with some nice, minor improvements and creates the perfect conclusion. It's a game that can be bought without hesitation, it's simply that good.

Quotation forthcoming.

In the rail shooter category IS Defense is quite good. It's repetitive and with poor content but has a cool skill system and offers an honest two hours of fun. You don't have to think, you just have to shoot. But if the game was called anything else no one would look in its general direction. It's all in the marketing, but it's quite sad that a talented studio wastes time on such mediocre projects.

Ashes of the Singularity is a game for veterans, people who love real time strategies and tend to improve their tactics over and over again. It's similar to Supreme Commander and offers a reasonable amount of fun but it won't be as popular. All the positive feedback comes from multiplayer - the single player is flawed and quite boring. All in all the game feels unfinished.

Quotation forthcoming.

Alekhine's Gun could have been a really good game if only it had debuted 10 years ago. It's a stealth game that copies gameplay mechanics from the Hitman series and adds some semi-original ideas but it turns out not to be enough. The complete game is an outdated little monster that lies far from today's standards and is priced like a much, much better game.

Many will think that Psychonauts was Tim Schafer's last good game and right now he's preoccupied only with remastering his former glory. But if all of the planned remakes will be as good as Day of the Tentacle I'm fine with that. This classic, eternally enjoyable point'n'click adventure game offers tons of satisfaction and even after more than 20 years is still a game to look up to.

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.

Black Desert is a fully fledged epic MMO that can compete with the biggest and the best in the genre and is absolutely the prettiest one of them all. The world is a bit strange and gamers will need time to adjust but reasonable amount of interesting gameplay mechanics should interest experienced players and newbies don't need to be afraid - Black Desert is very easy to get into.

What is Samorost 3? It's more of an exploration game full of child-like wonder than a classic point'n'click adventure. It's a unique audiovisual experience, a pretty little indie gem that has more in common with real art than many modern art installations in various museums.

Dark Souls III is an excellent, superbly designed game that looks and works very well. If the series had begun with this installment, it could have been deemed one of the best videogames in history. But there is a long heritage of From Software's productions and DSIII isn't really unique although its quality is very high. It's probably the best Dark Souls there can be - a must have for fans.

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.

Quantum Break is like a breath of fresh air. Truth be told, the "TV show" mixed with the game isn't that great, but the story itself (really cool) and interesting characters (really well played by real actors) are something else. Plus the shooting - even though not as important - looks quite unique. Remedy's newest game is an excellent product for gamers who have grown tired of sandboxes and multiplayer games.

Ubisoft didn't have a great, epic online game and unfortunately still doesn't. The Division is extremely pretty and generates lots of fun. I will keep playing, but I can't shake the feeling that key aspects of the gameplay showcase the developers' lack of experience. The grade you see should be fair for groups cooperating and playing together. Solo players won't have that much fun.

The new, rebooted Need for Speed looks good on the PC. The game is well prepared on the technical side but I feel as if the super-smooth animation can exist only thanks to sacrificing some sharpness of the things that you see on your screen (and the image quality isn't much better than the one on consoles). If you do not own PS4 or Xbox One, take an interest in this new NFS but switching platforms just for 60 fps isn't worth it.

Assassin's Creed: Identity disappoints at first - the missions are too quick, the steering too clumsy and the campaign too short. Fortunately, after a while the RPG features become interesting and developing the character or completing tasks becomes really enjoyable. Of course, after some time the gameplay becomes repetitive and the entire game hangs somewhere between small, mobile games and big, console products.

Far Cry Primal on the PC looks like a well prepared conversion - stable, pretty and optimized. But these days that's not enough - a game running on a much more powerful hardware should be unique and FCP isn't. It's hard to justify spending money on a superb PC that will run the game in the highest settings when an equally good console version runs great on a cheaper machine. And you need to remember that Primal is just a visual overhaul of Far Cry 4.

Grim Dawn is a game that fulfills promises made by the developers and is one of the best entries in the hack'n'slash genre. The game is to be expanded and updated in the future: if dawn is so exciting, what will happen at dusk? And even if the multiplayer mode needs tweaking and beating the same storyline with different characters can become a bit boring, the game is simply very good and worth your money.

Heavy Rain on the PS4 is pretty much the game we know from PS3 but with better graphics. If you wanted something more, a complete edition of sorts, you'll be disappointed. What is more - the controls weren't improved and the remaster only adds some new issues in that matter. Still, Heavy Rain is one of the best interactive movies and an excellent thriller. If you don't know it, wait no further.

Surprisingly Deponia Doomsday is the most interesting and complex installment in the series. This is a well written sequel with very pretty levels, great soundtrack and some really demanding puzzles. The entire game is very funny as well and looks like a an expertly crafted piece of code. Must-have for point & click fans.

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.

Far Cry: Primal stands out as a game with an original, really well crafted world but in the end leaves quite a bit to be desired. Using primitive weapons, taming wild animals and observing interactions between all the inhabitants of Oros can be really fun. It's a pity that the game has a very weak storyline and copies gameplay mechanisms from previous installments. As a result, your view of Primal will depend on your feelings towards older Far Cry games.

Splitting White March, the Pillars of Eternity expansion, into two parts was a mistake. The game still shines on the story side but diversity of maps and gameplay balance (experienced characters are too strong) suffers a bit. Still, this expansion quenched my thirst for an adventure but as a big fan of Obsidian's game I'd like to hear about the development of Pillars of Eternity II.

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.

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.

Crashlands won't take over the PC market but it fits perfectly in the mobile world. The game provides lots of fun, has a deep gameplay, interesting combat mechanics and a storyline full of funny moments. It's a solid candidate to the title of "mobile game of the year". Well done!

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.

World of Tanks appears pretty late on the PS4 but does it with style. Playing without paid subscription eventually becomes tiresome but there's a big advantage: you don't need to pay for the PS Plus service. Owners of Sony's console have finally received a free, well made, pretty and engrossing war game.

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.

The Following, a big expansion to Dying Light, is a quite interesting game that will make some fall in love with it, and some will be left with a bad taste in their mouths. The story is more interesting, character development - deeper and driving the buggy is extremely fun. Unfortunately The Following makes parkour almost redundant and changes the unique gameplay model. There are good parts, there are bad parts, but all in all Dying Light looks more like Far Cry than ever before.

Some gamers will consider The Witness to be a masterpiece and another proof that videogames are art. In this case the Witness requires you to possess at least two out of these three character traits: superb intelligence, angelic patience and passion for analyzing various cultural works. Everyone else will probably think that The Witness is pretty, but too hard.

American Truck Simulator marks the beginning of a long adventure on American roads that was worth the wait. The game expands on the gameplay mechanics known from the developer's previous games and adds tons of new things that create a unique trucking experience. Right now it's simply the best game with big trucks.

Rise of the Tomb Raider on the PC looks and plays fantastically. Lots of various graphical options allow for comfortable gameplay even on weaker machines. Nixxes Software deserves some serious praise but let's not forget that real thanks should be aimed at Crystal Dynamics. The PC port wouldn't be so good if not for the excellent Xbox version.

XCOM 2 represents a safe school of making sequels. It uses a good, working, well-known gameplay basis on top of which some minor modification were created. And it's not such a bad way to go. More changes will undoubtedly appear in upcoming expansions but right now XCOM 2 is very, very satisfying. If you like tactical strategies, you can't miss it.

PC gamers have finally received one of the most unusual RPGs in recent history. It's a truly mesmerizing adventure - strange, sometimes hard to understand and even obsolete. But these things cannot really be considered as flaws. They're there for a reason. Dragon's Dogma is a great, original game that feeds of some well known clichés.

Punch Club - an interesting hybrid of a sports manager, an RPG and a strategy game - is a very satisfying game that generates real emotions. It's a product tailored for mobile platforms but the PC version is pretty much the same. Even if it becomes repetitive, it definitely deserves the attention of lovers of small, independent games.

Darkest Dungeon is a very difficult, very interesting and very original game - a sturdy RPG mixed with a dungeon crawl and some aspects of roguelike games. As such it's not a game for everyone. Fans of these genres should have lots of fun - moments of irritation fade away and you simply need to visit this grim world once more. Darkest Dungeon is a very big and demanding product - I envy those players who will be able to max it out.

Assassin's Creed: Chronicles - India is a product that's better than China. The developers are experimenting with their game and as a result Arbaaz's adventures are more interesting that Shao Jun's story. It's not as good as the almost perfect Mark of the Ninja but you can clearly see a step in the right direction. If you liked the previous game you'll be happy with the new Chronicles.

Thea has a very specific, Slavic atmosphere and combines several genres which in the end makes for a really unique strategy game. It's not for everybody and the gameplay is uneven but I hope the developers will explore this area. After some technical and gameplay tweaks Thea could be something big.
