Great follow-up. It's another story about the tragic fate of two siblings. It doesn't bring anything groundbreakingly new, but it improves on what worked and surprised in the first volume, and because of that, it still entertains. [Issue#323]

I can't help but tip my hat to the entire Santa Monica team. The deeper you delve into the game, the more you'll be drawn into the stunning story of a father and son against the backdrop of perhaps history's most horrific war. Throw in some casually endearing humour, great and fluid gameplay, and wrap it all up with an amazing audiovisual experience. [Issue#323]

The levels are well designed. Even better, however, are the shootouts themselves, in which you mow down hordes of varying enemies, be they Imperial Guardsmen, Occultists or other orcs who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The whole thing is also accompanied by an excellent soundtrack, and even more amazing voice acting. [Issue#323]

It's getting harder and harder to find revolutionary elements without expanding the NHL itself. But despite these challenges, this year's edition of virtual hockey has something going for it and offers surprisingly great gameplay. [Issue#323]

The game is not bad and serves you a lot. You want a hero? You have four. Want big missions? Usually you have about three going at once. You want side missions? You've got a city full of them. Which doesn't mean it's a great game. Just good and solid. [Issue#323]

The idea and vision of the game is absolutely fabulous. In practice, however, the game is brought down by its execution, which you can see through after a short while and then the game has nothing to surprise you with. [Issue#324]

Has it been a while since the last roguelike game came out and you're already feeling the need to fight off the withdrawal symptoms with another hit? Oakenfold can be a solid challenge even on the easiest difficulty. Too bad they didn't get around to better rendering the game world, which would have definitely been worth it. [Issue#324]

The wide variety of activities will keep you playing for hours, as long as you overcome the initial disorientation of the tabs and panels you need to follow and don't get annoyed by the repetitive funk-tinged music. [Issue#324]

Whichever path you choose, any can lead you to absolute control of Europe, and therefore the endgame. [Issue#324]

The only criticism I can make of the game is that the difficulty is quite high, and if you don't think about your actions, you'll soon be mopping floors instead of driving a space station. [Issue#324]

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]

You can also enjoy the game on your own, as the game searches for mission partners automatically, or you can play against a bot. However, since it is mainly a coop action, it will always be better with friends. [Issue#324]

It's a hell of an entertaining horror ride that should not be ignored by any admirers of slapstick humor. [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]

In the end, the upsides far outweigh the downsides or omissions, and the creators' concentration on improving the modes that earn the most money is logical. As a whole, however, the game works well. [Issue#324]

The fights are very specific, tactical and surprisingly fun and often challenging, even knowing that a fallen hero can be put back on his feet on the spot during a fight and used in the rest of the encounter. [Issue#324]

Let's be honest, there's really no bigger title to compete in the FPS genre at the moment, both in terms of the sometimes mediocre content and this year's very polished graphics. [Issue#324]

The game offers an incredible amount of options, and if you don't enjoy the campaign, you can have a blast in the elaborate battle mode, where you'll command up to hundreds of warriors and work together to destroy enemies, protect villages or conquer castles. [Issue#324]

Not a bad game. It still has its solid core, new Pokémon, and what's worked for years continues to work. The open world is a questionable addition in my opinion. [Issue#324]

Not a bad game. It still has its solid core, new Pokémon, and what's worked for years continues to work. The open world is a questionable addition in my opinion. [Issue#324]

It's just still an overblown, entertainingly inappropriate, B-grade, sexist action ride that doesn't let anything tie it down or control it. [Issue#324]

If you like the late Middle Ages, detective stories, interesting stories, don't mind reading, this is the perfect game for you. [Issue#324]

It's still a mix of platformer and shooter, but some missions are focused on combat, figuring out ways to advance, surviving in a diabolical arena, painting giant statues, sneaking around, finding keys, and even using your weird sidekick to activate and deactivate various mechanisms. [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]

Dragonflight is still de facto at the beginning of its life cycle. Still, one can't help feeling that we desperately needed an adventure like this. With all its pros and cons. [Issue#325]

You'll be easily drawn in by the incredibly addictive gameplay and rules, which may not be revolutionary or surprising, but they are meticulously thought out. The meat here is the fun gameplay in the style of one more try. Lovers of the rogue-like genre or simple but precisely polished short games will not be disappointed. [Issue#325]

The developer cleverly uses an unsettling, nerve-wracking soundtrack that does the most to flush adrenaline into the bloodstream. The Trenches is a short but very substantial horror game, not for everyone, but it has a lot to offer. [Issue#325]

Robots, humans and cyborgs look beautiful and believable. The environments are wonderfully detailed and cartoonish. The sound design is of course brilliant, as it is one of the cornerstones of the whole concept. In addition to original music, the game features famous band names such as Nine Inch Nails, The Black Keys and The Prodigy. [Issue#325]

As far as difficulty is concerned, everything here feels quite balanced. It rarely happens that the death of a player is "unfair". All in all, Dread Templar plays well, but aside from throwing katanas, it doesn't show off anything too new. [Issue#325]

With a top-down perspective and simple graphics, Sole Survivor Games' tycoon is reminiscent of good old Zelda, but with a wide range of strategic options, it's closer to Prison Architect and plays like it. It's a shame that the game quickly exhausts its initially interesting potential and unusual theme. [Issue#325]

A relaxing, well-designed card roguelike. Simple, complex with clever mechanics. Beautiful and sleek in appearance, pleasant to listen to. These are all attributes of Dungeon: Faster & Deadlier. If you're looking for a casual game that doesn't require a commitment, but is also very happy to entertain and joke around, make you think a bit about where to click next, and which of the unenhanced cards to use experience points on, you've found it. [Issue#325]

Dead Space is a beautiful example of what a remake of a game should be. Something classic, something new, but most importantly, a modern doorway into a classic that will be enjoyed by both veterans and new swathes of potential fans. [Issue#325]

Hogwarts Legacy is definitely a beautiful-looking game that doesn't have a groundbreaking story, but does have a beautiful world, a fun combat system, broomstick flying, and of course an incredible amount of side quests and missions. [Issue#325]

Hogwarts Legacy is definitely a beautiful-looking game that doesn't have a groundbreaking story, but does have a beautiful world, a fun combat system, broomstick flying, and of course an incredible amount of side quests and missions. [Issue#325]

The game is ultimately a unique version of a simulator in which everyone will find what they enjoy. It offers a unique combination of complex mechanics and simplicity, bringing the genre to life. [Issue#325]

The aspiration of returning to the series' most successful titles is evident here. Illegal races, over-the-top tuning, a specific but fitting soundtrack, an open world, and police chases. It's not outright bad, but it could be a lot better. I would have liked more variety as well. I'm definitely positive about the elements that gave the game a unique identity. [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]

Although Potion Craft has a great idea behind it and an interesting design at first, repetitive gameplay and often tedious discovery of new potions start to take over very quickly. [Issue#325]

The pace is pleasant and combat is certainly not the only thing that the colourful and at times truly breathtaking environment has to offer. Each of the six usable weapons not only has its own attack and special utilitarian ability, but also awesome voice acting, distorted personality and brilliantly wacky design. [Issue#325]

The game follows the style of its older sibling, and once again you'll be treated to absolutely stunning graphics, a compelling narrative style, tons of historical facts and your old friends. These are backed up by new heroes, and although some take different sides, they let you live their wartime lives through stories. [Issue#326]

There could be more content. For fans of action party games there is nothing to complain about. Considering how universally lovable Kirby is, this game is perfect fun in multiplayer, especially online. [Issue#326]

But for its atmosphere alone, it shouldn't leave fans of the Yakuza series or casual fans of Japanese culture in the dark. It's solid entertainment and a great way to fill a hole in your gaming education, as there's a good chance you missed the original 2014 installment. [Issue#326]

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]

Praise also goes to the implementation of the story in general. Moreover, the engaging storyline can teach non-hunters the principles of ethical and safe hunting or the necessity of maintaining balance in nature. [Issue#326]

The graphical representation of the individual characters must also be highlighted. The game is not perfect, but it is chillingly captivating in places. [Issue#326]

As well as strategists, World War II history buffs will appreciate the models and types of vehicles used in the game. [Issue#326]

The game puts together a solid remake of the original game with a great presentation and essentially quite a lot of new content, including an excellent epilogue that will be enjoyed by a wide range of players from kids to experienced gamers. [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]

Bosses are fast, aggressive, tough. They hit you two times and it's over. But they all have the same mechanics and just different timing. So inexperienced players may feel frustration, while for experienced souls it won't be major problem to get through the game without a scratch. [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]

The new Spellforce shows off flying colonial turrets, tons of interesting quests and tactical battles. All wrapped up in a nice audiovisual package. [Issue#326]

It's a great game that will keep you entertained for a long time, has minimal bugs and its combat system and characters will grab you by the heart. [Issue#326]

The main problem at the moment is that it lags behind its eight-year-old predecessor in every way except graphics. [Issue#326]

The first hours are spent in laboratory corridors, but eventually the game opens up wide and actually mirrors another game with the numbers 451 in its DNA, which is the closest to it - the modern Prey. It's also the one that best shows what the game does masterfully, and where it stumbles on its ambitions. [Issue#326]

The game relies mainly on its dark and oppressive atmosphere, which it does well. Unfortunately, the biggest hurdles are technical oversights and a somewhat empty and anticlimactic ending to your entire journey. [Issue#326]

Up close, the combat is somewhat lacklustre and the tense musical accompaniment doesn't save it. So the horror rather comes from surviving such situations and being able to fully immerse yourself in the game. [Issue#327]

Overall it holds together very well, and even though I played the whole game in two days with minimal sleep, I didn't even think about taking a break for a while. [Issue#327]

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]

Visually, the game doesn't offend, but it doesn't impress either. On the other hand, it manages to elegantly justify it with game mechanics. Nevertheless, Stranded has a huge potential to find its players in those attracted by the genre of survival simulators and management-building games. [Issue#327]

The graphics are as nice as you can get with Minecraft. The animals are cute, the scenery plays with all the colours and the whole thing is supported by the unobtrusive music. Overall, then, it's a very simplistic strategy game where building bases and managing an army is fun, but it loses its breath very quickly, to its own detriment. [Issue#327]

If you get over the initial shock, it's not a bad game. Two characters working together, improving abilities, the ability to sneak around, spatial puzzles and problem solving to get further, and above all, gorgeous graphics. [Issue#327]

Many will argue that there aren't enough enemy types, or that the weapon upgrades that underpin it all seem as if they came out of a decades-old game. And they'd be right. This is a game that follows a simple template. But it does so in a confessed way, and in the end the authors didn't promise anything beyond mindless and fun zombie slaughter. [Issue#327]

You are not bound by fantasy stereotypes or archetypes, and can thus create often very bizarre combinations of races and their elements. It's a brilliantly done system, and one on which the authors will be able to build all their major or minor DLC for a few more years if sales are good. In an age of games as services, one couldn't ask for more from a solid strategy game. [Issue#327]

The gameplay is extremely varied thanks to the objectives in each battle, the solutions to the battles are always numerous and resemble more of a tactical puzzle. Even if you dislike the anime stylization of the story, the characters, or the general sauce around them, both games are excellent tactical strategies in the style of Battle Isle, and indeed the original Wars series from which Advance Wars sprang. [Issue#327]

Combat isn't the only fun thing the game has to offer. If you're in the mood for collecting and battling strange creatures, give the game a chance, it will serve you pleasant entertainment with beautiful visuals. [Issue#327]

Do you like fast action games? Go for it. Do you like Final Fantasy? Go for it, but be patient. Do you enjoy JRPG-style co-op action? Don't hesitate. It has its flaws, but within the FF family of spin-offs, it's one of the best games across platforms. [Issue#327]

The Survivor artists have captured the aesthetic of Episodes I-VI so compellingly that the distant planets will engulf you like a sarlacc. At the same time, the writers reflect the reality of the Star Wars animated and live-action series, reaching back to the ancient era of the High Republic. Everything blends into one in Survivor. It represents the best that Star Wars gaming can currently give. [Issue#327]

The combat system is not the clearest. The player loses valuable lives quite easily just by touching an enemy. This leaves you with conflicting thoughts, and even the graphic design and adorable animations don't completely save the day. [Issue#327]

The battles then take place in real time, and in addition to the Mega Buster, you also have a variety of chips at your disposal, which here represent cards with weapons and actions. It's the tactical combining of chips on the battlefield that is the biggest, but probably the only, attraction of the famous brand's return. [Issue#327]

Right from the start, the game uncompromisingly tries to show the reality of trench warfare. The theme of World War I games is often the feelings of hardships of ordinary soldiers, and it's fitting that even in a game where you have the role of commander-in-chief, this is not forgotten. Chances are, then, that you won't just forget the game either. [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]

In spite of a few weak spots, the remake of Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is a must for every fan of mystery and horror. No need to know the original game, but I strongly recommend playing the oft-mentioned Chapter One first to appreciate the reasons behind Sherlock's behavior. [Issue#327]

The mini-games are repetitive. Each screen takes an awfully long time to load. The voice acting is not original for the most part, and kids can tell. The price is brutally exorbitant considering the content, but what a parent wouldn't do for their child and for comfort. [Issue#327]

Burning Shores is definitely worth a visit. The story builds nicely, the side quests have nice depth, and Aloy and Seyka may end up forming something more than just a friendship. The question is whether a little more content could have been added. After all, it's all stuff we've seen before. [Issue#327]

As a result, it is impossible to get rid of the impression that the game is somewhere between an expansion and DLC, which brings all sorts of small changes that made it unnecessary to develop another installment. [Issue#328]

Nice graphics do a lot, but unfortunately they don't save everything, especially when you need to save gameplay in such a major way as is the case here. Precision and smooth controls are absolutely key in this type of game, and that's where the developers screwed up. [Issue#328]

Planet of Lana brings a magically crafted world with an immersive story. Granted, if you're not skilled at platform jumping, you'll find some passages worse than the puzzles, but don't let that discourage you. [Issue#328]

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]

It's quality carnage and definitely worth a play. As a bloody excursion into the 40's Warhammer universe, it is undoubtedly worth a visit, among other things for its atmosphere and soundtrack. [Issue#328]

A great advantage is that if you find any part of the game too hard or easy, you can adjust the difficulty of any part of the game. [Issue#328]

The game scores points thanks to its more modern controls, a load of content led by a new adventure mode, and fans will have a hard time finding flaws. [Issue#328]

The ghost that is chasing you is actually quite skilled and learns with time. On the other hand, it loses the horror element a bit, because it scares you twice at most and then it doesn't have any aces up its sleeve. [Issue#328]

Each battle is played a little differently, which makes the battles brisk and fun, the story that connects them engages you, and I personally spent several enjoyable evenings with the game. [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]

The good thing is that, thanks to the limited possibilities, the creators couldn't go crazy and swing for hundreds of game miles. Instead, they created what could be called Elden Ring in a travel pack. [Issue#328]

Approximately five hours of action-packed humour and style make it almost impossible to turn the game off with a clear conscience. The high-quality level design is accompanied only by a minimalistic soundtrack highlighting the horror elements, and the enemies bring the player to their knees not only with their satirical concept, but also with their corresponding difficulty. [Issue#328]

Beautiful visuals, interesting characters, well-written dialogue and a stylish soundtrack conjured up an excellent gaming experience with a very pleasant atmosphere. [Issue#328]

The developers didn't invent the already invented - they figured out how to bring a cult classic out of cryosleep and offer it to a world that may have forgotten how brilliant it was. [Issue#328]

The visuals are probably what excited me the most. The way the game looks and the atmosphere makes me feel like I'm playing the old Diablo again. On steroids and on a quadruple screen TV, but the feeling is still there. [Issue#328]

Sandy beaches are followed by jungles, wetlands, bunkers, shacks and city streets, different environments and different materials mean differences in gameplay. The weather changes too, you aim differently during the day than at night, and so on. But the dialogue feels so heavy-handed in its exposition and so superficial in the game's non-linear construction that one hardly wants to engage with it any longer than necessary. [Issue#329]

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]

The game surprises not only with beautiful visuals, but also the gameplay itself is very enjoyable. The rest-seeking player will appreciate the game especially in moments when he wants to take a breather, close himself off from the world and just let himself be carried away by the visuals accompanied by a gentle musical background. [Issue#329]

The successful port brought a game to PC that simply isn't available on Steam or the Epic Game Store. Seriously, you just can't get a game like this on PC. Accessible, entertaining in every aspect, funny, cleverly written and acted, audiovisually awesome. This is a AAA production with everything you expect from it. [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]

Final Fantasy XVI is an excellent game in every way. If you're a fan of the series for the stories and characters, you won't go wrong here, and if you've avoided the series for, say, turn-based combat, the sixteenth installment offers the perfect opportunity to get started with this legend of the gaming industry. [Issue#329]

With pixels so big they could be cut, and an authentic retro feel, Ludicrous Edition is aiming for nostalgia. This is punctuated by the fluidity of the gameplay, added by tweaked controls including mouse support, but nothing more. [Issue#329]

But the big problem on consoles are the controls, and across platforms, the bugs that straddle the line between minor glitches and collapsing game mechanics. Graphically, then, it's not exactly a glamorous experience either. Dark Descent should be approached with caution, and it's entirely possible that the game won't suit you for a myriad of reasons. [Issue#329]

It's a thrilling ride. You go for one short game and wake up after five hours, only to return to playing immediately because you've figured out how to beat your opponent. The graphics may be simple, but they make up for it with the colour and thoughtfulness of the environments, and one genuinely enjoys exploring every nook and cranny. This is really worth it. [Issue#329]
