Three strikes and you’re out? Not with Milestone and WRC suffers from it. Unless competition rises somewhere else, any new installment in this series will be merely a change in the number. [Issue#237]

An okay way to kill time, with inevitable changes looming on the horizon, just as it was with World of Tanks. It’s dubious though that the retail version struggled to get off the ground, while War Thunder, still in beta, soars. [Issue#237]

A paper ride not to be missed and one of the few titles that bring videogames to a whole new artistic level. Plus a compelling reason to buy the PS Vita. [Issue#237]

Not a revolution, but that was not the ambition – shooting Nazis was and it still delivers a relatively solid amount of fun, spiced up with the visualization of bullets, ripping zombies apart. [Issue#237]

Brilliantly written vignettes set in the Smugglers universe are sadly not supported by an adequately designed gameplay, which sinks the game into dullness. [Issue#237]

New approach to the figures allowed the game to open up and bring larger and more complex areas to the game. The selling point remains with the new figures themselves, though – and won’t let you sleep until you’ve got as many of them as your budget allows. [Issue#237]

Compared to this year’s edition, the first Rocksmith was only a soundcheck. This version has all the quirks and bugs sorted out and brings a perfectly balanced tool for anyone who’s too shy to take guitar or bass lessons. [Issue#237]

These guys are still hot. Their newest adventure offers fast paced gameplay, amazing weapons and heaps of laughs. Unfortunately, it’s all over too soon… [Issue#237]

If you tend to see the glass as half full, instead of half empty, you will see Rivals as a success. Gameplay innovations make up for the lack of technical fidelity present in the old gen versions. [Issue#237]

As usual, expect pure gameplay with a lot of amazing ideas, both old and new, thrown in the mix. Currently the best game available for the system. [Issue#237]

An average retro platformer with stylish visuals. Knack glances off the surface of next-gen potential and tries to lure in the casual gamers. Quite a lazy approach. [Issue#237]

Overhauling core mechanisms almost killed the new Killzone. If it weren’t for the multiplayer, the only thing left would be an average shooter with no discernible style or content. [Issue#237]

Solid action RPG with some survival aspects that might help you make it through a boring day – but not any longer. [Issue#237]

Pulp adventure filled to the brim with ‘B’ movie qualities. It’ll enrage you from time to time, but mostly, it’ll provide a standard dosage of fun. [Issue#237]

If you’re a fan of the Battle Isle series, you’ll love this solid, turn-based, story-infused strategy game. They’re still hard to come by. [Issue#237]

A true return to the series’ roots and a homage to the first game. Shows a lot of promise that we can only hope will be fulfilled in the second part. [Issue#237]

Short but generous trip into the underwater city of Rapture with all the perks we know from Infinite. This DLC benefits from an attractive setting and slower paced action. [Issue#237]

Simple, yet poetic game of shadows and light, which would benefit from a little more polish, so it wouldn’t grate on its players’ nerves. [Issue#237]

A tremendous start to the new series, which is propelled not only by Teltalle's evolutionary gameplay, but mostly through the attractive setting and an entertaining screenplay. [Issue#236]

Basically a variation on the concept of a Russian doll, with some of the layers containing unexpected satirical diversions. Although if you had the chance to play the original mod, this overhaul has less new ideas than one would hope for. [Issue#236]

Pokémons once again stay true to their roots while bringing updated graphics, alongside with a few smaller evolutionary changes. They remain highly playable and this time, they're even more accessible to new players. [Issue#236]

Pokémons once again stay true to their roots while bringing updated graphics, alongside with a few smaller evolutionary changes. They remain highly playable and this time, they're even more accessible to new players. [Issue#236]

It's possible to make a tower defense game differently but "differently" doesn't necessarily mean "better". This HD version is a proof, despite the qualities of the original game. [Issue#236]

Quotation forthcoming.

Failed attempt at making a game in the vein of Dear Esther. Makes no sense whatsoever and its atmosphere dissolves in a second, being immediately replaced by terrible frustration. [Issue#236]

A lovely adventure for the whole family that would benefit from more finely tuned gameplay and twice the current length. Kids will love it, though - and their parents might as well. [Issue#236]

The original idea wasn't bad but its execution produced a game that tries so hard to be weird that it hurts its enjoyability. [Issue#236]

Daedalic saved their best for the last episode. Goodbye Deponia towers over the previous installments. It's clever, funny and complex. [Issue#236]

Political simulations are not everybody's cup of tea, but this one goes down smoothly. It'll show you how hard it is to please citizens so they don't run you out of office. [Issue#236]

Twin Peaks gone gaming is an unique experience marred only by obsolete technology. If you're drawn towards unconventional games, don't miss this weirdness made in Japan. [Issue#236]

Nothing to see here in terms of innovation: the campaign is dull, the multiplayer fun. But this time, the air of sameness is a little bit too much. [Issue#236]

In spite of technical shortcomings, Battlefield 4 is a solid continuation of the series and its core content - the multiplayer game - will last you for a long time. [Issue#236]

More of an expansion than a brand new game. Newcomers will enjoy a city filled with missions to complete and enemies to pacify. Veterans expected more. [Issue#236]

Without a doubt the best game in the series in a while. It could very well do without assassins and the story has a few hiccups, but a true pirate won't mind! [Issue#236]

Full of ideas, humor and difficulty, The Wonderful 101 will keep you glued to the screen, which can be both good & bad. But a little bit of challenge from a difficult game never killed anyone, right? [Issue#234]

A puzzle platformer that won't frustrate nor bore you. The puzzles complete a solid story, which is unique even for an indie game. [Issue#234]

The new Space Hulk is a by the numbers interpretation of the original board game. Fifteen mission, nothing more, nothing less. Far from the glory of Vengeance of the Blood Angels. [Issue#234]

As an emotional tool for parents educating their children, it works. As a game, it's painfully short yet boring after a while. [Issue#234]

The series stays put and to add insult to injury, this installment is half-baked. Looks beautiful, plays like a chore. [Issue#234]

Outlast is as intensive as riding a rollercoaster through a haunted house. It grips you by your neck and drags you through horrors, that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It won't last long, though, and works only the first time. [Issue#234]

If you've played any of the recent "seasons", no. 14 is just another small step towards making the game better. But if you're new to the game, you'll be head over heels for it. [Issue#234]

Nothing new but finally an action-packed shooter in exceptional fidelity for the PlayStation Vita. [Issue#234]

Stylish and most of the time entertaining as well, this carnage from the mind of a well known weirdo designer Suda 51 doesn't bring anything new to the table, except for its bizarre aesthetics that may or may not suit you. [Issue#234]

This Zelda-like adventure, where anything goes, is a love/hate affair. But love is surely the better option. [Issue#234]

GTA V fulfills the idea of a gaming sandbox, where you can entertain yourself in many different ways - and also experience a superbly written story of three gangsters, if you want. [Issue#234]

In the context of macho gaming, this ghost mansion is hiding something much scarier: a simple, elegantly told story that suffers only from its steep price. [Issue#234]

Finely tuned football simulation that lacks only our national league. A perfect farewell to the current hardware generation. [Issue#234]

The ultimate strategic simulator of an early modern history state with wide options for both success and failure. Do you want to unite Britain under Scotland, thwart the Spanish Reconquista or maintain the Inca empire? Suit yourself. [Issue#234]

A conversion that is almost too good to be true. Diablo III is moving past its previous mistakes and removes the game-breaking auction house that made PC players suffer through its charts. [Issue#234]

Modernized, polished and friendlier, selling its strong points while remaining basically the same. The lack of a radical difference is not really a problem. [Issue#234]

A perfect clash of Dear Esther and Amnesia, focused on straining your nerves while easing - perhaps a tad too much - on the interaction and gameplay. [Issue#234]

Perfect remake of the original Gamecube game that retains its magic and polishes it where time made adjustments necessary. [Nov 2013]

Brutal game that requires you to clench your teeth and dig in. If you do, you'll get a sense of achievement that is very rare nowadays. [Nov 2013]

Tales of Xillia is nothing revolutionary, but if JRPGs are your thing, you'll be more than satisfied, as it has a lot more to offer than one would expect. [Nov 2013]

Old school action with old school heart, reinforced by neat modern features that shows the way a present day shooter should be done. [Nov 2013]

A naval trip to the Renaissance, when hardline capitalism was king. If you enjoy managing caravans in Civilization, this game's for you. If not? Just another German micro-managing spree. [Nov 2013]

This puzzle adventure oozes melancholy and captivates through atmosphere, setting and for a while even its gameplay. Unfortunately, the game quickly runs out of breath and finishes mostly in agony. [Nov 2013]

New engine brought freshness to the series and if it wasn't for shoddy online support and a bunch of nasty bugs, FIFA 14 would be trembling. [Nov 2013]

The card system is undoubtedly original as it is weird. The whole thing is really rather weird! [Nov 2013]

Takes its lessons from the old school classics like Monkey Island but won't take a stand alongside them due to weak production values and a story that sinks over time. [Nov 2013]

Remake of the old classic fails at the basics and its shoddy presentation and lack of anything extra doesn't help as well. [Nov 2013]

Multiplayer strategy that's played by no one? Something's rotten in this Middle-Earth. And it's really not much of a surprise, given the game's poor execution and steep price. [Nov 2013]

What is it like to start with a few thousand dollars and end up in an office full of people producing multi-million gaming hits? This game lets you find out and makes it worth your while. [Nov 2013]

Plenty of changes that mostly scratch the surface, while the new classic mode is just a temporary distraction. More of a warmup before the full round of next-gen racing. [Nov 2013]

Card Hunter looks simple but it conceals a treasure trove of fun stemming from card combinations, RPG features and the multiplayer battlefield. [Nov 2013]

Its grandiose screenplay is beautifully presented and brilliantly acted, but it lacks interesting content, both gameplay and story-wise. [Nov 2013]

A botched attempt at a shooter utilizing modern graphics while harking back to the nineties. Fails at everything it tries. Do yourself a favor and opt for Shadow Warrior. [Nov 2013]

Vietnam usually makes for a fresh theatre of gaming war but in the hands of Games Farm, it turns out to be quite unexceptional. Suitable for killing time but nothing more. [Nov 2013]

Simple yet enjoyable conversion made for tablets, which might be the reason why it tends to stall on PCs. If you manage to get it running, feel free to adjust the score accordingly.

TrackMania is enjoyable and strictly arcade as always. However, its new more complex driving physics knows how to torment you sweetly. As a matter of fact, this expansion pack is full of nifty contradictions. [Issue#232]

An interesting choice if you long for a proper challenge, and you don't mind there's no feast to your eyes. However, if rogue genre says nothing to you, take a different road. [Issue#232]

An unexpected expansion pack for the New Super Mario Bros. U brings new levels, a new hero, more intense gameplay, and higher difficulty level. It's a shame the multiplayer game is a fail. [Issue#232]

For your first and second time, StarDrive brings a refreshing experience resembling Master of Orion. However, as soon as you understand its basic rules, the game is gone like through a Black Hole. [Issue#232]

An audiovisually elaborated remake of the brutal shooter from the late 90's. Duke Nukem's pal is going well, bringing mad and red action. [Issue#232]

An addicting platformer with its hardcore difficulty, which is fair at the end of the day. A absolute must, if you're not afraid of a challenge. [Issue#232]

Pikmin 3 is a greatly balanced, challenging at the right moments, original, adorable, and above all continually entertaining real-time strategy game, making you smile instantly. It's suited for all the gamers of all ages, and for both genders. [Issue#232]

Crappy graphics, but surprisingly enough it's a hardcore simulator game of the world fastest motorbikes. This title will definitely please those steering handlebars fans. The rest of gaming population will most likely get frightened by the game's requirements. [Issue#232]

A great addition to a family of the Portal games. Instead of Portal Gun you play with an electromagnetic glove, and you break a sweat while working out your progress. [Issue#232]

A crappy system, technologically speaking it's an unfinished, irritating, and every now and then arrogant action RPG, with flaws as merits, demonstrating how to not make a game. [Issue#232]

A technologically excellent and humorous remake of the original Larry game is an enjoyable little game. Especially for those contemporaries of the once famous series, who are now overgrown by moss. [Issue#232]

The developers of Jack Keane 2 wanted to prove at all costs that even adventure games may be "fast & furious". Unfortunately, their game lacks other ingredients preventing to be a high-quality adventure title. [Issue#232]

Do not be sitting on your eggs, and blast out people's smiles of existence in this perfectly elaborated 2D action game. Only with this Humans Must Answer title you'll find out what the universe and chicken have in common. [Issue#232]

Dust is energetic like a tornado. It has its artistic touch to it. This gem is like the best of the video games history, to shine upon the present days. [Issue#232]

Mario along with Luigi mash their competition by far with their new ideas, and they also manage to entertain both the young and the old ones. [Issue#232]

A hero that fits in no pigeon-hole, of the video game that prays to the pigeon-holes. Run up headlong, and maybe you are going to be relatively satisfied. [Issue#232]

Initially a terrible thing that becomes a relatively entertaining stealth action game, if you manage to (literally) bite your way through. Unfortunately, excellent ideas are screwed up by their problematic elaboration. [Issue#232]

A solid tactical action game of the third person perspective that lacks miscellaneous content and sturdy narrative along with its mission design. The beginning and the end are excellent, but the in-between part is lame. [Issue#233]

It doesn't matter if you play the new adventure of Sam Fisher with stealth or action, you are going to have hell of a good time. The game's naïve political thriller story proves it's possible to create the omnifaceted title you are going to enjoy completely your way. [Issue#233]

A very stylish comics strategy game, with not exactly optimized controls nor absorbing gameplay. [Issue#233]

A well-made and entertaining comeback of the old brand-name brings the atmospheric campaign, but mainly its potential longevity thanks to the user-generated content. [Issue#233]

Insanely funny, wittily insane. That's Saints Row IV. However, it could stop stealing everything it sees around it, because it gets to be quite a mess. [Issue#233]

A retro thing by every bit of it. Even though it won't save the game industry, it manages to entertain flat and plain, and it remembers how shooters used to look like many years before. [Issue#233]

Its screenplay that copies Agatha Christie's works with optimized gameplay makes a promising adventure game The Raven, suited not only for fans of the genre. Yet, watch out! We are at the very beginning. [Issue#233]

A clever and stylish co-op shooter that vacuums bank accounts of the game victims, not the gamers. Single player game is basically absent, which is compensated by its dynamic and fairly optimized multiplayer. [Issue#233]

A novel, stylish game taking advantage of its minimal design more than you would believe, and it succeeds in arousing your emotions, which is the thing other game titles could dream of. [Issue#233]

Patience is the best remedy, and Scorpion still enjoys getting people out of their skins. In other words, everything is the same, and even for PCs, Mortal Kombat is still the kick-ass fighting game. [Issue#233]

Jack Del Niro is no Philip Marlowe, not a mite. However, if you're willing to accept compromises, then this classical "noir" Detective Story will know how to warm your heart. [Issue#233]

An attempt to make the adventure game that has gone wrong. Even though, it has nothing mutual with the subject matter, it sponges upon a name of the famous vampire. The extremely short-lived piece that has nothing to offer. [Issue#233]
