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]

In the end, it doesn't bring that much revolutionary change, on the contrary, it often suffers from a desperately slow pace, dumb AI and surprising repetitiveness during classic building. [Issue#317]

Beloved world, action-packed gameplay, easy to get into, enjoyable to master. [Issue#245]

A complex, yet accessible and entertaining historical strategy that successfully resists the ongoing trends of the genre. [Issue#290]

Feudal Alloy is a great game, but at the same time a weaker hybrid between Metroid and Castlevania. Just its rare visuals and fairy-steampunk world deserve your attention. [Issue#293]

Entertaining cooperative multiplayer is why you should try this unconventional shooter. Technical issues and obsolete visuals prevent a higher rating. [Jan 2012]

Mix of wonderful graphics and great ideas ... and a couple of nagging bits, that hinder gameplay. If you have nothing to play on your Wii U, Paper Mario is here ready to serve you. [Issue #268]

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]

Thankfully, the Pro Evo becomes a competitive series again this season. If you do not care of licenses or crappy referees then you can expect a great football game. [Issue#257]

There is just one thing Demigod is good at – online hero battles on the edge of RPG and RTS. But its good enough that you forget there is nothing more. We beg for a campaign next time. [May 2009]

If you can sustain a lot of cockroach-kissing scenes you'll be rewarded by another solid episode – this time with many important story-related revelations. [Aug 2010]

Great party game offers six mini-games to test your skills with PS Move control stick. Lasting fun guaranteed both in solo and in multiplayer modes of play. Lack of online play is inexcusable though. [Issue#197]

Excellent successor of Euro Truck Simulator holds to proven concept and adds a few nice features but currently it suffers from an acute shortage of content. [Issue # 261]

Catchy multiplayer action with tactical elements is free to play but suffers from a few launch-related problems. Once those are solved Super MNC will be a straight hit. [Sept 2012]

Extremely patient gamers with a soft spot for 19th Century strategies are welcome here to enjoy the Golden Age. No other human being should try this title – by no means. [Issue#195]

To call this piece "a game" and rate it as an ordinary game is not fair. You can find many flaws in the game's mechanics but if you just follow the story your experience will be unforgettable. [Apr 2012]

The first two bites of unusual episodic adventure game taste quite fair, but instead of tasting saturation it just irritates the stomach. [Issue#201]

Thankfully, though, each system is relatively easy to understand and the gameplay itself is fun, just as the simple dungeons are fun to navigate. However, if you're looking for a game of this genre and want a challenge, you're better off with Harvestell. [Issue#330]

Appealing, entertaining and original game will catch and hold you thanks to its specific kind of humor. [Issue#220]

The trip to the time of Alfred the Great is rather disappointing, though the game does not do anything horribly wrong. It's good, but the theme could have been grasped much better. [Issue#286]

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]

Different studio doesn't live up to the first two games and while the result is competent, it doesn't dazzle anymore. [Issue#246]

A solid expansion which moves the game in a direction that won´t be for everyone. If you enjoyed fighting and overcoming obstacles by itself in the original Prey, then you will also enjoy the challenge offered by repeatedly passing through the lunar base. [Issue#288]

Still very good, but in some ways weaker than the previous game. Still, fans shouldn’t miss it, just because it is the conclusion of the trilogy. [Issue#289]

Instead of the standard entertainment, we received unnecessarily over-combined horror game with atmosphere incomparable to the original one. [Issue#275]

Attractive football manager shows every aspect of club management and scores with licensed leagues a real player faces. [Dec 2010]

Almost a perfect tool to practice foreign language lacks the core playability – the creative solutions are not supported unfortunately. [Jan 2013]

For the second time the unfulfilled potential of an unconventional material. The very idea is grasped greatly, but that's all and the game itself is very sad story – again. [Issue #269]

Black Mirror has reached its end of the story and beside a pile of virtual corpses it has left behind satisfied players. Even though it is not one-hundred-percent satisfactory. [Issue#203]

A pile of news that does not change the basics but extends the game in a way you can easily find your hockey. It's not worth the cup, but it´s worth the presidential trophy. [Issue#278]

Brisk pace, easy control, good gameplay, lots of ideas and game modes. This is the new Mario Tennis Aces which is a wise purchase for your Switch. [Issue#288]

Down-the-line but polished to the detail action RPG offers an open world, a great combat system with companions and great visuals. Do not miss this piece! [May 2012]

Attempt to turn back time to Sands of Time succeeded only partially: Forgotten Sands is technically great but we've seen this story a long time ago in a much better game. [July 2010]

Fast paced shooter offers four different modes with nonstop frenetic action. Great playability and user-friendly controls make it addictive; pity there is not a multiplayer option. [Feb 2010]

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]

Stalker is back with a tempting story, handful of improvements and new places to explore. Players of Shadow of Chernobyl will feel right at home (many areas “recycled” from first game), newcomers can learn the story who lead to Zone cataclysm. Unfortunately, some faults remained from the previous installment like handling inventory and AI scripting. [Sept 2008]

The excellent simulator of caretaker/snitch allows you – in funny and most importantly in repayable way – to try how was to live in the absolute totalitarian society. [Issue #270]

More than a Syndicate, Satellite Reign reminds a budget version of cyberpunk Commandos. Overall incompleteness and considerable uncertainty over what the game wants to be, prevent gamers from enjoying it more. [Issue#256]

A huge game that, despite of the quality of the fight and the delight of the Orb, offers paradoxically very small. It's not a failure, but we were expecting more. [Issue#279]

What it misses on content it gets on the gameplay. Great platformer for those who enjoy being absorbed by fairy-tale world. [Issue#267]

An excellent mix of a rogue-like genre and FPS – although it doesn't bring anything new, it works great. It has perfect controls and thanks to various enemies, randomly generated (almost) anything and RPG elements game feel fresh with every new start. [Issue#252]

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]

Finally! DS got the arcade racing game with actual feel of speed. Extras like simple editing tools and hilarious multiplay make the game way above average. [Issue#173]

Newbies will be lost, veterans not satisfied. It’s firing on all cylinders but the rounds don’t last. Nice showcase of the new engine, though. [Issue#241]

If the price was halved and the humour less forced, then the game would be worth it. This is just a rehash, albeit a good one.

Yes, they took God of War and put it in the cauldron with Prince of Persia but they made it with their own hellish and dark style. Classic literature rocks! [Feb 2010]

Silence will catch you at first, but then it left you disappointed because the puzzles are too easy and the story is unable to keep the pace. [Issue #270]

Great improvement to the previous chapter but the first episode is still unbeaten. Great new playable character (only one again – sic!), lots of fun from the beginning to the end. [July 2009]

Not much of an adventure game but boy, what fun! [Issue #239]

Standard online races built on proven-by-the-years core of the Gran Turismo series. However, it suffers from an acute lack of content. In addition, if you play solo you have to avoid Sport. [Issue#280]

Multiplayer shooter designed primarily for Star Wars fans. Simpler than its genre competitors it is, but it’s open to players of all kinds - at the same time it is not for everyone because of that “anyone can play” approach. [Issue #259]

Nice working game world with great character development and balanced game mechanics make Two Worlds II remarkable. Pity its interface and controls along with dumb enemies lower its final score. [Issue#199]

Console conversion succeeded but it just came a little later than it should have. Still, Fable is a great game for anyone who wants to enjoy some easy action RPG. [June 2011]

How to describe the new add-on to the endless Sims 2 series in one sentence? Rental housing at its best. You will love the beautiful architecture and you will be surprised at how much fun, magic can bring into the normal lives of the ordinary sims. [Sept 2008]

Total surprise, excels in game mechanics and recalls the golden ages of arcade classics. Enjoy its cute heroes and explosions of colors while you can – The Maw isn’t the longest game unfortunately. [May 2009]

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]

A simple pixelart game with a story that could be envied by many big RPGs. [Issue#302]

Successful gameplay can replace the boring and soulless game only to a certain extend. Rather than about successful game, we can talk about a brilliant idea that will either grow into beauty with another game or with other developers.

The visuals are mediocre, the characters are strangely stiff in their faces, the animals appear plastic. Still, the game fulfills many expectations and offers the question - who will judge you when your conscience is silent? [Issue#318]

Perfect presentation and great playability are no surprise in new FIFA Manager. Pity there’s not much improvement since last years version and players/teams database still sucks. [Issue#186]

Except for a few badly designed minigames, where you don't really know what to do, everything is precise. The details then get lost in so many design and visual differences in the minigames. The bottom line is that you'll have a great time with your kids and your friends. [Issue#332]

The Medium is a psychological thriller with various simple puzzles, a whiff of horror and music like from Silent Hill. As a result, you will play the game mainly because of the storytelling and for its atmosphere. [Issue#310]

The battles themselves are very dynamic and their speed is more reminiscent of Bloodborne than iron-clad Souls. Combine that with how royally good the game looks, and I can't say I didn't enjoy the entire forty hours it took me to finish the first playthrough. [Issue#331]

One's feelings about the game start with "oh my God, what did I buy", move on to "hey, it's not all bad - let's destroy one more tree", only to realize in the end that you're actually doing the same thing over and over again and that you could spend your time in a more entertaining way. [Issue#318]

Swift and fluent action illuminates the origins of this saga of popular shape-shifting mechanoids. Long campaign and balanced multiplayer make Transformers worth trying. [Aug 2010]

Take the graphics and easy controls of WarCraft III throw in the addictive and working system from any trading card game and you will get an excellent piece of playability and fun – you’ll get BattleForge. [Mar 2009]

Great musical rhythm strategy, which sadly suffers with input lag in the console version. Sometimes only headphones can save the situation. [Issue#301]

Good old-fashioned action horror will please Resident Evil 4 fans especially. Anyone won’t be pleased with his technical errors. [Issue#247]

Above average Diablo-like game with comics visuals succeeded to get over the genre and story clichés and a story to bring a great concept of RPG elements and a rewarding replayability. [Issue#255]

A wild mix of all possible games holds together surprisingly well, still mainly the orthodox fans of the genre will enjoy this piece most. [Issue#250]

Cyberpunk enjoyment full of blood and decadence. An audio-visual feast goes hand in hand with a sophisticated gameplay, which detracts only more or less negligible problems. [Issue#279]

Quite mad and quite funny tower defense action could be more playable if the controls were not so complicated. [Nov 2012]

If you ever wished to kick Kratos jewels or impertinently grin in the face of Raiden there are perfect chances to do so. Well, not perfect, but quite good. [Christmas 2012]

New Hitman suits its fans and provides an open gameplay. Alas, game it is spoiled by formal errors and broken gameplay. The first episode was disappointing ... [Issue#263]

Wild and funny 2D action game, inspired by Hotline Miami, that is peppered with a challenging difficulty along with crazy humor.

A stylized action fighting game that you will easily get tired of, but on the other hand it can also entertain and reward patient players. [Issue#303]

They wanted to excel in everything and ended up excelling in nothing. The series is eating its own tailpipe and needs to be put down - ideally to make room for TOCA. [Issue#244]

The most realistic tennis simulation ever made. With realism also comes hard work with challenging training, difficult gameplay and especially a very lengthy career mode. [Aug 2008]

Brilliant hack'n'slash game picks the core elements of this specific genre and serves them with style. You won't stop until the last enemy is on the floor bleeding. [Issue#195]

Better then its black & white predecessor – this time a wired mannequin solves time related puzzles. Someone should think of an exaggerated difficulty. [Issue#189]

Another great episode comes with surprising "noir" opening and continues with extremely fun and original playability. Not such a breakthrough like Episode 2 but still way above average game. [July 2010]

Visually stunning but shallow in the means of story, the new adventure from Spanish Pendulo studios is not the "next big thing" but rather a step back. [Issue#204]

The quality stands but only whets your appetite and doesn't fill it. This much fragmenting is killing the series.

Lost Words is a game about words and stories created by Rhianna Pratchett. Key to success is based on strong storytelling, compelling characters and easy-going gameplay without any too difficult puzzles and riddles to solve. Get yourself ready to be sad.

The Dark Eye is such a beautiful adventure at first glance …but its guts are rotten. Genre-typical gameplay does not offer any remarkable new ideas and weakens the whole experience. [Issue#220]

Vesper is a minimalist game that doesn´t stand out from the crowd of similar titles. On the other hand, it is not bad at all. It is an honest game with attractive visuals and good gameplay. Nothing more, nothing less.

On the one hand GoT is a standard game from Telltale. On the other hand the game catches a spirit of Game of Thrones surprisingly well with its narrative qualities. [Issue#249]

Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is a decent addition to Age of Empires family. While not surprisingly good, it is still a good game, which unfortunately suffers from its technical state. [Issue#307]

Is this glass half empty or half full? Depending on your taste, Nihilumbra can go either way. [Issue#238]

With Tell Me Why, Dontnod Entertainment has delivered pretty much the same experience for the third time. This comes with all the good things, and all the bad things that come to your mind in association with the Life is Strange series. [Issue#306]

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]

Maybe not flawless, but most exciting game for sure – it looks like a FTL while doing things differently – and with great success. [Issue#283]

Troy is visually captivating, but otherwise struggles in every single aspect so important to Total War series. Somehow, it manages to be overly simplistic and complicated at the same time. The strings just did not attach quite right this time. [Issue#305]

There is a hilarious tactical strategy RPG hiding beneath the pixel cover, which proudly confesses its Power Rangers heritage. It is a pity that it could not keep its pace during the whole time. [Issue#253]

Genuine setting, story and gameplay mechanics make a great mixture. Pour in some more diesel for you hungry machines and there you go - strategic game worth playing not just for hardcore genre fans. [Issue#306]

Beautiful and rich fairy world is full of imaginative tasks and minigames. Excellent sound and visuals are spoiled by camera positioning and a weird checkpoint system but it should not discourage you from this interesting game. [July 2011]

You can compare playing Drakensang with reading of a good old classic book. Old-fashioned RPG acquired new graphics but its heart remains the same. Prepare to enter a lively and believable world filled with a plethora of quests and catching stories. [Mar 2009]

Clever and original sci-fi short, which is unfortunately running out of breath at the least appropriate places. But it will reward you with some particularly amazing moments. [Issue #268]
