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.

Evolve is a game with an interesting, original concept and good execution that suffers from lack of diversity. The game has enormous potential and playing with a team of good friends should provide tons of fun - the battles are really intense. It is a real shame that Evolve doesn't really "evolve" into something great - this feast tastes good but consists of only one dish that after some time gets bland.

Paradoxically, where South of Midnight decides to use original ideas and boldly jumps into the deep end, it swims with grace and charm, while where it is afraid to abandon the lifeline of genre cliché, it simply stays afloat. If we were to distill the outstanding things from this item, we would get an excellent concept album with an accompanying animated film. It's a pity, because if the game designers had dared to go a bit crazy, it could have been a really great game, but it is simply good; a really interesting, refreshing interlude for two or three evenings, after which you will probably be left with another item on your playlist and a little more knowledge about a corner of the States that we don't usually see. And an awakened, but still unsatisfied appetite for folklore from other parts of the world.

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.

New PES is a significant step forward in terms of gameplay and defensive actions, but it has some minor flaws and unnecessary solutions that allow to easily gain field on the opponent's side. It's a pity, that the developers decided to introduce simplifications in offensive actions - dozens of goals and faulty opponent defensive aren't the things we want to see.

Grey Goo is one of the most interesting recent RTS games and right now there aren't many games in this genre to choose from. Real time strategy fans will be pleased but it's definitely not a perfect game. Grey Goo wants to be StarCraft (the atmosphere, 3 races, good storyline) and the new C&C (slow gameplay and minimal micromanagement) at the same time. As such it suffers a bit but you need to appreciate the good intentions.

Toukiden 2 is a cool game in the vein of Monster Hunter or Soul Sacrifice. What's important is that this game offers more than just hunting - an open world with side quests. Fighting and exploration coexist well, and the end result is a game worthy of your attention. But it could have been prettier.

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.

Hard West 2? More like 1.5 or perhaps an expansion with a new campaign and some improvements. It’s not a typical sequel or even a sequel at all. But maybe, if it works, there’s no point making changes?

Sims Medieval is different from the previous installment and won't satisfy all fans. What we've got is a fairly complicated and surprisingly demanding game, which sometimes bores you with its peculiar gameplay mechanic but more often simply entertains thanks to its easygoing attitude and a wide variety of possibilities.

TERA is a well done classic MMORPG with great attention to detail. It takes what is best from the genre and adds just enough original things to keep it fresh and interesting. And most of all - TERA is very pleasing to the eyes.

Duels of the Planewalkers 2013 is a game for everyone. It offers various game modes for a solo player and some interesting options for online gameplay – for a small amount of money you get a high quality, complete product. New user will get to know the virtual world of magic cards thanks to a very well made tutorial, and hardcore gamers will find lots of fun in some of the more demanding modes and, of course, multiplayer.

I believe the developers from Crimson Herring are very ambitions and their universe has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, they were almost lying when describing their game as an RPG with an open world that is free to explore and lets the player make important decisions.

FIFA Street proves that some solutions and ideas never get old - fast street football, great competitiveness and fighting to the last second work perfectly. A variety of different game modes make sure that everyone should find something interesting and the opportunity to create unique trick combinations and actions ignites imagination.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a puzzle-arcade game with some shooting elements and as such is a job well done. It satisfies but does not enchant. It seems that the game would be better if the developers focused more either on the puzzle side or on the shooting side. The game's strongest moments are its looks and boss fights but you need to remember that a trip to this interesting world won't last longer than one afternoon.

Bravely Default 2 is one of those games that quickly fade to oblivion. There's absolutely nothing remarkable about it. On the other hand, you do get a great character development system, solid, tactical combat mechanics, and some challenging bossfights. The end-result is a game that plays it very safe, designed for players looking for garden-variety jRPG.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue isn't impressive in terms of content when compared to others sets but it's a good example of a 3DS game ported to a big console. It will please the fans; everyone else should steer clear - casual gamers won't understand the phenomenon of this Disney/Final Fantasy hybrid.

Destiny has an interesting, original idea for an online shooter that is wrapped in some excellent production value but stands on really weak legs. Bungie's game has a potential to be adored by many, but it depends on their tolerance for repetitiveness. In time, all of this will probably be extended and built upon, but right now this is just a dream. I quite like Destiny, but I won't be spending many more hours with this game.

Mario Tennis Fever is a decent tennis game with its biggest problems being a lack of innovation, simplified gameplay, and a very weak story mode. If you're a fan of the series and don't care about online play, stick with Tennis Aces. Newcomers may appreciate it for its more robust single-player content and still quite enjoyable core mechanics.

Playing EA Sports FC 25 provided lots of fun. The new things are cool, the online matches go on without problems, and crossplay guarantees rivalry between people with different platforms. But I can't look past all the technical issues - if not for them, the final grade would be higher.

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.

Resonance is an interesting story almost to the very end. A game that challenges fans of the genre by introducing some new things into the gameplay. It's a modest, pixelated clickfest that will take gamers on a long journey and give them lots of fun. Resonance reminds us that a game is first and foremost a story, a way to deliver something, a form of expression – much like a book, a comic or a movie.

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a very good product for every fan on the world's most popular bricks. It is obvious that the developers want to introduce some changes to the series. Even though they didn't play out so well this time, you can still spend some quality time with Traveller's Tales' newest game.

Crysis 3 shows that Crytek follows the path from Crysis 2, but tries to incorporate things from the original game. This nod to the gamers deserves some respect, because the developer could have taken the easy route and prepare a completely linear campaign. Still - the mix of open and closed gameplay isn't as good, as one might expect. Even with this grand arsenal of resources the game turned out to be less satisfying than its predecessors. It's not a step forward - it's more of a job well done by talented people, that perhaps were pressured by the market or deadlines.

Imperator Rome is a great example of an entertaining historical game developed by Paradox studios. I was able to manipulate the fates of great empires and easily engage in wars, coups or intrigues. It's a difficult game to review because you want to play it all the time.

Master X Master introduces a cool variety into the genre ruled by League of Legends and Dota 2. MXM adds parts of other types of games and the result is a "2 in 1" kind of situation. But all in all, none of the pieces are as good as what the best in the business have to offer.

Total War: Rome II is an extremely well made game: the campaign is long and complex, tactical battles are really absorbing (and naval battles are really difficult: a small mistake can cost you several ships). Changes made in the game make it easier to keep track of everything that's happening, rewarding fast decision-making and - all in all - generating tons of fun for less-experienced generals as well. Creative Assembly have created something that will be tough to top.

I was really afraid that playing World of Goo 2 will immediately make my mind think "this is not the same game". But it did not happen. What's more I became hooked almost immediately. I can't remember when I had so much pure joy when playing a game without being explicitly told what to do. An almost perfect sequel.
