Destruction is still cool, and in the end I have to give the creators credit for the fact that the much marketing-washed akedo has its moments. Everything else that made a good Battlefield is completely missing, and that chase for record-breaking size or player count is really a poor substitute for well-designed maps, rich content in the form of game modes, and certainly no substitute for the original class system that the gameplay has always relied on in the first place. [Issue#317]

The content of the missions is extremely repetitive, both in terms of gameplay and use of the same locations (with minor modifications) and even graphical assets. Moreover, the game tries to pretend to be a tactical action game, but in practice one is instead faced with chaotic action, where you lure most of the enemies from the entire level onto you after the first shot. [Issue#317]

The first installment, despite its unremarkable gameplay, at least tried. It brought the story of a man who just wants to exist, but the whole world is against him. Here, from the start, you're a nutcase in a bathrobe who shoots prisoners and cleans sewers. And sometimes he hallucinates. If there's satire, it's on the level of cops eating donuts. [Issue#319]

It's a never-ending story, a game with too many half-baked ideas, where the story and mood of the series just hold the door to correctness and superficiality without a deeper gameplay experience or at least uniqueness. [Issue#320]

One could say the game concept is as vulnerable as your character. The straightforward gameplay can be refreshing under the right circumstances. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the technical execution, which sets the game back a good twenty years. Outdated graphics, technical bugs, and poor character movement all drag the game down below the level of a quality product. [Issue#320]

Rogue Mage is an enjoyable card game that I was happy to spend a few evenings with. However, it lacks the greater depth and addictiveness of classic rogue-like titles for prolonged play. As a result, this version of the cards isn't bad, but it's unfortunately the weakest of all on offer. [Issue#321]

This horror game does evoke feelings of dread, despair, futility and hopelessness, but not quite in the way it wants to. [Issue#322]

A totally unnecessary reboot. Not to say the game isn't fun. It is. Again, it's pure escapism that exists just so you can fool around with a bunch of weapons and vehicles and not have to think about it. The problem is that previous installments have done the same thing - and infinitely better. [Issue#322]

The game lacks quality puzzles like in Machinarium or Creaks, and one is left with "only" amazement at the interestingly rendered and a bit crazy world. [Issue#324]

The story is shallow, the finale unsatisfying, and aside from about four instances, your choices have absolutely no impact on the story. The constantly escalating music runs on a loop and is rather distracting. The last part of the tetralogy is simply stupid. [Issue#324]

Doesn't matter that the effects and magic look great, or that the art stylization is breathtaking at times, when you're standing on a desolate plain and looking into the fog most of the time, because the creators simply couldn't manage a decent visibility. This is how games were made a decade ago. The only thing I wouldn't be afraid to praise the authors for is the action, which has pace, and the magical abilities bestowed on the protagonist by the magic bracelet. [Issue#325]

The re-released collection of this once-flagship Sega title will probably only excite true retro gamers who want to reminisce about the game without having to buy huge arcade machines. This collection, however, doesn't stand much of a chance of reaching a new audience, in my opinion, as it lacks any extra care in porting to current hardware. [Issue#325]

Wandering through the game's cavernous twists and turns has an ending, of course, and there's a bit of good ol' fun in the misery. The question is, however, why choose it when it got somewhat lost along the way and other and more accomplished cave adventures could be recommended instead. [Issue#326]

The game looks like a mobile game for the little ones, where production chains and military units have been kept to a minimum. Most of the options start and end on a chronic shortage of wood, and food isn't even considered an essential ingredient. [Issue#326]

The game also suffers from a myriad of bugs affecting trade, storage, clarity, population management and other little things that you only start to notice over time. [Issue#326]

What the authors lacked to be above average was the courage to stand up with full force for something unexpected. They could have taken inspiration from their colleagues from the French branch of Arkane, who came up with Deathloop. Redfall is an unpleasant reminder that talents and creativity run out with time. [Issue#327]

Crime Boss isn't a completely bad game and has some potential in the heist missions, especially in co-op mode. However, it tries to do an awful lot of things at once and doesn't excel at any of them. [Issue#327]

As far as gameplay is concerned, the game is definitely without any noticeable bugs, it's very enjoyable to play for a few minutes, but after a very short time you get the feeling that "I've seen this before", "I've been here before" or "I've already defeated this enemy". [Issue#328]

The graphics, the animation, the UI, everything here looks like we've gone back a good 17 years. The technical state of the game is also bad, reminiscent of clinical death, making the game almost unplayable. [Issue#328]

Right from the start of a new game, you get the feeling that something is not right here. The animations are clunky, the voice acting sounds like a high school attempt at a rap song. The unreadable map is then made worse by the crew's constant comments that interrupt your gameplay. Spirit of Liberty is a difficult piece to digest. [Issue#329]

Ultimately, I can't think of a reason why anyone should play it. It's a desperately unimaginative, repetitive collection of minigames with nothing to offer. [Issue#329]

Visually, the game is not out of line with today's standards, and if we don't count bugs and the consequences of poor optimization, there is nothing to complain about with the graphics. The game as a whole suffers mainly from underdevelopment and risk aversion. It offers classic fantasy entertainment, but it doesn't dazzle with anything. [Issue#329]

The actual track building, which should be the meat of the game, is clunky and annoying. Park Beyond has the potential to be a very decent game at the very least, thanks to some great ideas, with a ton of additional content coming in the Season Pass. In its current state, however, it can only be recommended to true amusement park or self-torture enthusiasts. [Issue#329]

The state in which the game was released cannot be described as anything other than problematic. The game is very difficult to play without Discord friends, and it is rarely a pleasant and fun experience. [Issue#330]

From the Definitive Edition of the iconic GTA titles emerged a technically unfinished remaster, which remained halfway. The content is and will always remain timeless, but the way to get to it and to enjoy it is simply not good.

The new episode of the Far Cry series really tries a lot to find new ways how to enjoy the game, and at the same time it relies on the unattainable depth that the charismatic Giancarlo Esposito was supposed to give to the game. Instead, players again receive a disparate mishmash that is increasingly moving away from both the original Far Cry idea and the Just Cause sandbox.

Inaccurate movements, persistent mistakes or unclear hitboxes make longer playing of the game a really challenging or frustrating experience, but without a significantly satisfying reward.

A pleasant peek for fans of univers, who want more "forties". The remaining players of turn-based strategies lets look elsewhere. There is a lot to choose from.

12 minutes is a point’n’click thriller playing with a time loop theme with a great premise and introductory setting, but with a lack of interactivity and an unfortunate story. After the enthusiasm from the beginning of the game, when you will enjoy the offered possibilities of the game sandbox, frustration and disappointment will come. Even dabing with brilliant actors is not helping the game. It seems to be recorded in a hurry and without the possibility for the actors to get used to the character.

King's Bounty II fails in all the essential aspects, that the game wants to offer players as a representative of the turn-based strategy / RPG genre. Every good element is deservedly punished and the final product simply doesn´t work well.

Squeezing almost twenty sports into one package so that everyone is lively and functional, turned out to be too difficult for the creators. Unfortunately, the game is a lifeless, unbalanced, and the price is exorbitant.

Tasomachi: Behind the Twilight is an attractive game with a very likeable setting. However, as soon as you start playing the game, problems will begin to pile up, which will deprive you of all illusions very quickly.

Even though the idea of a survival space base sim with RPG elements sounded very promising, Base One is filled with bugs and problematic design choices and lacks any spirit or invention beyond what was necessary. In a world where you can play RimWorld or Space Haven, there is literally no reason to invest your money nor time into this game.

Ireland is beautiful to go crazy, but the rest of the DLC is more inclined to kill time generically. Even those druids are boring!

Quinterra is a confusing game, which would like to follow the example set by legends of the genre like Slay the Spire, yet it fails to deliver more complex game mechanics and provide enough fun to actually delve into the game itself.

All around a very mediocre gangster strategy game. Its greatest strengths are its greatest problems crowned with way too much repetition and unbalanced difficulty. [Issue#309]

This is yet another completely useless title from the Stronghold series, which actually does not bring anything interesting and simplifies the old proven principles even more. What lies behind the reasons for the release of such a game is a mystery to me, when, apart from the well-known brand, the game offers practically nothing and everything is incredibly sold out and rushed with a hot needle. [Issue#310]

Dirt 5 is a dead end. Its driving model is unnecessarily simple and career is reprehensibly austere and boring. On the other hand, famous series’ weather is absolutely thrilling, which sets the atmospheric standard for all future racing games. [Issue#310]

Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is yet another proof of a famous licence put to no good. The game lacks it’s atmosphere from TV series and presents only boring logical gameplay with poorly executed controls. [Issue#307]

Falconeer shoutouts get boring way too easy and no matter how well crafted are the basic game mechanics, it simply lacks anything special or fun in the long run. [Issue#308]

Godfall is an astonishing next-gen tech demo. Which is, honestly, the only positive trait of the game. Apart from that, it just delivers 10 hours of repetitive hack and slash gameplay and a tedious story worth a third grader. [Issue#308]

Creepy Tale would work quite well for a short visual novel as it looks and sounds fantastic. However, it absolutely fails to deliver any meaningful gameplay and feels too random, short, and void. [Issue#305]

The FPS and RTS hybrid suffers from a stereotype, excessive simplification of most gameplay elements and a chaotically told clichéd story. [Issue#304]

The game does not offend, but also doesn´t inspire. If it had more original content, it would certainly receive a more positive feedback. Therefore, it is only an average game. [Issue#302]

An action adventure game frozen at the turn of the century, which can have its nostalgic charm for the hardened fans of the original two instalments. [Issue#301]

The remaster of the famous game didn´t meet expectations, despite having a few bright spots. This is a very bad remake of a very good game. [Issue#301]

Being in the shoes of guerrillas in the war-torn Warsaw really is an experience. If it hadn't been for unfinished ideas and bad design, it could have been a turn-based strategy pearl. [Issue#300]

The game has an original setting and at first attractive environment. Unfortunately for players, millions of years are truly dragging, and the sluggish gameplay makes the struggle for survival a struggle for your own sanity. [Issue#298]

To copy the Industry Giant like this turned out to be unfortunate. Although the production chains are pleasantly complex in the Rise of Industry, trading is unrealistic and the game won´t offer anything besides the economy. A wasted opportunity! [Issue#295]

Rage 2 works when there is lots of shooting, but struggles heavily with uninteresting activities, repetitive boss fights and with a story that isn't really a story. [Issue#295]

A lot of good ideas and interesting concepts are run down by a poor execution that crushes the dooms the game to a grey average, where it will be probably forgotten for eternity. [Issue#293]

An attempt to make an alternative to Civilization that failed because of not finishing its ideas and old technology. An unstable and buggy game with a lousy artificial intelligence won’t be interesting, even if it is signed by a great designer. [Issue#293]

The development of the third Crackdown got stuck somewhere and it is hard to tell if it’s because of complications with the cloud or just a bad vision. The result, however, is a very average game that entertains only undemanding players or fans of the series. [Issue#293]

Deep under the ground an atmospheric game was born, which was ruined by incomprehensible mistakes. The game frustrates with malicious difficulty, poor controls and during the bird-view you can´t distinguish good from evil. [Issue#293]

Although Anthem has potential, BioWare's first attempt at an online RPG has failed. Currently, the market is full of titles which are more tuned and have better content. [Issue#294]

Technically unfinished RPG full of dubious content choices that kills the fun instead of expanding the legacy of Ultima Underworld. It’s not even a good RPG. [Issue#292]

Another evidence that not everyone is capable of parasitizing on Dark Souls. Boring, poor and uninteresting game that is rescued from the very bottom only by quite successful environmental puzzles and one good bossfight. [Issue#292]

A game full of action and ambition. An open world offering dozens of funny hours for certain kind of players, but ... Just Cause 4 unfortunately fails because of its flatness and terrible technical issues. [Issue#292]

An unfinished game with bifurcated identity and in an almost dysfunctional state. It's hard to build on a bad base, that will never change. Like the war. [Issue#292]

Innovations in State of Decay 2 don´t solve any problems, but rather add some more. The game unnecessarily forces on its multiplayer and feels very impersonal. [Issue#287]

On a paper sympathetic, but tedious in practice. The game is an unamusing attempt to recreate Recettear. The functional foundation would need a more exciting environment and more entertaining action. [Issue#287]

Firstborn perversions and morbid game design get boring quickly and the player is left only with his own pain caused by the bad game. So at least there lives Agony up to its name. [Issue#287]

Onrush takes the most interesting elements of its older brothers but at the same time it tries to be its own game. However, the game can´t decide what it wants to be and the result corresponds with it. [Issue#287]

Red Faction: Guerrilla is a retro game, unfortunately not in the good sense of the word. Except destruction of everything imaginable, the game only has an average story, chaotic action, and old visuals, despite all the care. [Issue#288]

An original adventure, which unfortunately did not succeed in anything but faint hints of what the game could have been like if its ideas were fully explored. [Issue#288]

The game is lacking lightness, is unclear and too forced. The original gameplay is surrounded by shallow innovations that make the game hard to like and undermine the new plot. [Issue#290]

Megaquarium is a shallow strategy game for casual players. While the fish float, the game slowly falls into stereotype. [Issue#291]

An uninteresting horror adventure that appeals with its story and sometimes good atmosphere, but disappoints with mechanics, forced dialogues and unnecessarily high price. [Issue#291]

An interesting premise, which ruins itself by unfinished gaming mechanics and being badly transferred into the game? [Issue#284]

Plenty of numbers, indicators and conditions that mostly have no real effect. And also, ideas built on unsteady legs. Please meet a modern Civilization and its DLC. [Issue#283]

The game is embarrassingly simple in its gameplay, but at the same time it’s incredibly difficult due to a poor technical state and a terrible game design. [Issue#282]

The standard hack’n’slash will entertain, but you won´t find a deeper sense in it despite a few tactical elements. One level a day will delight you, try more and you get a stereotype. [Issue#280]

In horror games, the greatest horror should not be that someone forces you to play it. With Inner Chains, it's the only thing you'd be afraid of. [Issue#277]

A quirky, not very interesting trip to World War II excels only with its very solid visuals. It may be enough for newcomers, but veterans of the genre must find a new favorite elsewhere. [Issue#278]

A myriad of worlds, alas all of them offer a dull experience based purely on boring duels, so it soon ends with pure boredom. [Issue#278]

I'm sorry that Syberia got to the end like this, and it's probably my last memory of this game. Unfortunately, this Kate's adventure is not worth playing, even if it was in a discount. [Issue#275]

At first glance refreshing, but at second it’s only a deadly-repetitive fighting game, the basis of which works in some way, but can not offer anything extra. [Issue#274]

An arcade game that can only increase your blood pressure with its unfairness and which you will suspect that it was badly counting the score if you lose. [Issue#274]

FlatOut 4 is an average racing game that lacks the passion for sharp ride beyond the risk. Once the famous demolition series denies itself when you're afraid to crash your car here. [Issue#274]

Unfinished product is grounded not only by its technical errors, but also by the inconsistency and diluted original concept. The honor of the game is saved by the robotic probes and tremendous modularity. [Issue#274]

Bad game engine and almost perfect dialogues + sense of humor dominate this in-every-aspect conflicted game. But it's worth trying. [Issue#273]

Decent strategy, which is not able to simulate the complexity of the modern world and rather depends on hasty nuclear bombing. [Issue#273]

The Dwarves would like to achieve a better rating, but their own companions in the fight undercut this effort. Simple technical state is not always a recipe for a success. [Issue #271]

Unfinished business from the technical point of view, but more importantly a boring adaptation of the board game. Pretty visuals can’t save its tiresome fights. [Issue #271]

Maize is a funny yet imperfect adventure. It doesn’t offer anything better than a story about corn that outsmarted man. An absurd humor won over the gameplay. [Issue #271]

Renoir does have an interesting story and puzzles, however, due to the terrible controls it balances on the very edge of playability. [Issue #270]

Outdated and flat gameplay mechanics, poor controls, technical issues. The Last Guardian couldn’t be saved even by the extreme efforts from Sony to finish the game no matter the time. As you will love Trico for sure, the game itself you will certainly not. [Issue #270]

Above-average idea is brought down by flawed technical state and below-average combination of a few design ideas. The result can catch you with its with visuals, but its flaws could push you into a psychotic outburst. [Issue #269]

An interesting idea and a great atmosphere is killed by a badly chosen gaming form that simply isn’t consistent with the concept of the film. Ultimately, you cannot play it, or watch. [Issue #268]

Calling it a waste is too rude, but I cannot imagine why would someone pay for such a puffy nonsense. Several clever moments cannot save the game, which only tries to look like a piece of art. [Issue #268]

Pointless and bad multiplayer game to put it plain – it is difficult to find any positives. Play rather the old Unreal Tournament, you will enjoy it much more. [Issue#266]

Excellently crafted game, that is, unfortunately, far from its potential. Flat gameplay and short playing time don´t outweigh otherwise above average game environment with a great eye for detail. [Issue#266]

Interesting concept unfortunately runs out of fuel within the first hour or two, and then you are left with a repetitive, often painfully sadistic gameplay. [Issue#266]

The game with hidden potential, however, only for patient players. To the others the game offers an unsatisfying gameplay, uninspired dialogues and forgettable environment, with only occasional better moments. [Issue#265]

A quite average sports game with better and worse moments, its core is based on repetitive and mediocre minigames unfortunately. You can play it, when nothing else is around, otherwise you can skip this game without no regret. [Issue#265]

When I think about it, Planar Conquest should remain mobile only – it’s the platform where it belongs. PC has some better candidates. [Issue#265]

Basically Shadwen is an imaginative game, which is unfortunately spoiled by technical flaws, monotonous environment and total need for fine-tuning of most game elements. [Issue#264]

Too much ambition send Moon Hunters to mere mediocrity. The graphics will probably charm you, but procedurally generated gameplay will not. [Issue#264]
