Funny racing game featuring the most popular tracks from all older sequels and versions. Don’t waste your time with reality – shoot the enemy with the turtle shell! [Issue#275]

The new Warhammer is a classic strategy in core, but simplified to MOBA elements. It combines the gameplay of the first Dawn of War with the latter, and it certainly works nice. [Issue#275]

Solid and funny RPG with great turn based combat, and above all, great freedom in choices. And you can plunder monasteries too!
 [Issue#275]

Likeable and (sometimes) funny 3D platformer in an open world does not even try to keep up with time. The acknowledged spiritual successor of the first Banjo-Kazooie is precised up to the last detail to give the same gameplay as its 1998 ”original”. [Issue#274]

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]

A bizarre trip between Twin Peaks, X-Files and the collective sub-consciousness of the whole adventure genre. The initial storyline can discourage someone, but persistent players will be rewarded by a truly unique experience. [Issue#274]

The inexorable focus on realism won't suit people looking for fast entertainment. But if you dive into Day of Infamy, it will be very difficult for you to get out of there. Except for a few issues, this is the second world war in full fame. [Issue#274]

Simulation of a simple patrolman matures as wine while playing. After the initial embarrassment, you are fully immersed into the problems of one neighborhood and a framed cop. [Issue#274]

Faster, Baby! Add-on shows what the third Mafia was good at, but it is pitifully short. Less than hour-long main chapter plus there are a few missions for Sinclair Parish residents, and then it's over. [Issue#274]

FromSoftware definitely couldn't say a better goodbye to the series than they did in The Ringed City. This spin-off brought not only some of the best bosses in the whole series, but also impressive locations and distinctive characters that deepen the mysterious world. [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]

Great RPG depends mainly on the conversations and colorful bizarre world into which it takes you …while it is not focused on combat and other traditional elements. [Issue#273]

Styx is trying to cope with AAA games, yet it fails in almost all respects. With the modest cost, the game was much more interesting. [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]

Beautifully created adventure game will catch you not only for its visuals, but mainly by the way it observes the problems of young adults. [Issue#273]

Repetitive tasks, uninteresting world and surprisingly unsettled quality of the story mean that neither an enhanced fight nor driving model won't make a new Mass Effect above the average game. [Issue#273]

Zelda gets you in with a series of clever puzzles, interactivity and richness of the gaming world, catchy combat and great design. One of the best games of all time. [Issue#273]

Mood, pathos, emotion, humor ... and helluva fights. This is a combination that makes Yakuza zero the one of the most entertaining game in the whole series. For lovers of Japan Y0 is a must-have. [Issue#272]

“Metroidvania” for younger players attracts especially with its visual style, but has nothing else to offer to veteran players. [Issue#272]

In comparison to its predecessors the fourth game is more precise and also easier. AI forgives much and if it not for cooperative mode, the game would feel more like a larger expansion than a full-fledged part. [Issue#272]

The seventh installment returns the series to its roots and developers finally find the land on which the franchise can firmly stand. Fans of horrors and previous games will certainly be satisfied! [Issue#272]

Remarkable platformer with original gameplay, elaborated puzzles and rough poetics. The visual aspect of the game is delightful, but the game time is short and there are troubles with user-unfriendly controls. [Issue#272]

Hellishly challenging and entertaining tribute to the From Software games. The authors didn´t copy the originals – on the contrary they weren´t afraid of many drastic changes. So, the overall experience was pushed in a big way in a different direction. [Issue#272]

Rather than a game, it is a spilled drawer with Kingdom Hearts label. One Nintendo remake, one movie and one good, but short game. We were expecting more. [Issue#272]

Horizon Zero Dawn is a perfect proof, that if you give developers creative freedom and time, it will get you a sweet reward. For fans of action adventures and wonderful worlds Horizon is the obvious choice. [Issue#272]

Solid RTS with perfect controls and some interesting multiplayer modes. The positive impression is unfortunately ruined by an uninteresting story campaign and micro-transactions. Good choice only for RTS novice, experienced strategists would be bored. [Issue#272]

An excellent hybrid between a tactical fencing action and a fighting game, which wins thanks to a complex fighting system and balanced characters. [Issue#272]

Dungeon Souls is a typical example of a game that wastes all surprises right from the beginning, and in long-term, besides a stable foundation, has nothing to offer. [Issue#272]

Circles is an interactive kaleidoscope for bright minds. No enemies, or blood or revenge, but with successful puzzles and lots of cogs. [Issue#272]

Entertaining and beautiful platformer for 3DS handheld is designed especially for those who loved the animated adventures of a blue-eyed cat in their childhood. [Issue #271]

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]

Very good and well-designed non-standard platformer that relies on its name and your patience more than it would be appropriate. [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]

At first sight gorgeous and sophisticated platformer game, then you realize half of the game is made by unfair and frustrating gameplay. Although it lasts only three hours, you will get angry like it was a much longer title. [Issue #271]

Fresh theme, otherwise, it’s a bit of a limping survival game. You can forgive many things, but not everything. Sympathy for the original book is not needed, patience definitely is. [Issue #271]

Interesting economic strategy bending the RTS genre in a proper way. Great ideas lack the elegance in design unfortunately, and authors completely overshot the price. [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]

One of the best free-to-play games for PS4. In some respects, it refers to the popular Dark Souls, but to be perfect it lacks better visuals and interconnection with environment. [Issue #271]

The Dead Rising brand should give itself a short break. The fourth episode had almost slipped into average, saved only by a perfect combination of weapons and creative ways how to deal with zombies. [Issue #271]

Mix of adventure and platformer game excels especially with beautiful environment and clever puzzles. Controls and storytelling style unfortunately failed. [Issue #271]

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]

Rhythmic game cut to an absolute core. Lots of minigames, simple visuals, a dynamic soundtrack and squeezing one or two buttons. And it is stiff as excrement. [Issue #270]

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

Good old puzzle-solving Picross is a stepchild of crosswords, Sudoku and coloring books – but with nicer creations and a couple of interesting new ideas. [Issue #270]

Another add-on to the series of juristic detective stories. Solid game uses the established patterns and adds some nice new features. [Issue #270]

Beautiful and colorful game for small children, which looks like the “Sims Disney” ... but only if those children can speak English well. [Issue #270]

Great RPG that excels with scenario and dark setting of its universe. The way I the game is played will certainly appeal to all core genre fans. [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]

Butcher is definitely not for everyone its technical state is nothing to be proud of. On the other hand, it offers high difficulty and big amount of masochist fun, that you will not find just anywhere. [Issue #270]

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]

Amnesia Collection games would deserve greater attention during PS4 conversion. The first part grew old, the second was never worth much. Both games share the same problem with controls designed for keyboard and mouse. [Issue #270]

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]

Purely graphical upgrade with support of the Gen4 console modes that PC owners of the original game and all expansions get for free. [Issue #269]

The FM17 is kind of an obligatory purchase for fans, and thanks to the changes it offers probably the easiest access to the entire series for newcomers. [Issue #269]

An excellent sequel, whose mistakes are forgiven thanks to the fantastic level design and pure enjoyment of playing. A masterpiece? Not quite. But it is not too far from it. [Issue #269]

Infinity Ward devs are back, and they bring a typical Call of Duty game – not a miracle, but it certainly will satisfy all kinds of players. [Issue #269]

Battlefield is back in shape and more so with fresh theme of the first Great War! After a long time, the campaign is successful and multiplayer is traditionally excellent. So, this year your choice is set! [Issue #269]

Pure Japanese turn-based strategy comes in three versions with different quality. The game would thrill all brave players but can also bore those who will go through it with the seatbelts fastened. [Issue#267]

A return to the old days of 2D jumping and shooting is flawed with a slow AI. But as a nice arcade relaxing game for a bunch of friends it serves well. [Issue#267]

A fun excursion into the times of 19th century’s heroic explorers unfortunately runs out of steam quite soon, and that magical charm of the unknown vanishes. [Issue#267]

To the last detail, a polished game about the end of the world that squeezes a lot of intense feelings from players through the gloomy atmosphere. [Issue#267]

Excellent turn-based strategy, which is more than just an imitation of Banner Saga. Pity that a well-driven story ends so suddenly, but perhaps we will see a continuation. [Issue#267]

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

One is tempted to cut & paste last year's verdict, but while the last year was fixing the mess, this one just polishes the well-frozen ice. [Issue#267]

Okhlos is goofy and funny arcade fun, if you would like to spend a moment of your time. If you don´t expect anything extra, you won't be disappointed. [Issue#267]

The gripping story and a thrilling atmosphere are combined in the adventure game, which is thrown from the top only because of a few illogicalities and its running-too-much. [Issue#267]

Fans of a half-forgotten genre and the Cold War will understand, others may go a step lower, but Mother Russia Bleeds will find its way into everyone’s heart. Because it serves its slaughter honestly. [Issue#267]

There is almost nothing you can complain about regarding the Mankind Divided gameplay. To achieve a greater score new Deus Ex lacks a better story and the possibility to "turn off" Czech language. [Issue#267]

Deus Ex GO doesn´t surprise, but its polished gameplay can thrill nevertheless. Even if you know the mobile Hitman and Lara by heart. [Issue#267]

Natural Japanese RPG with beautiful graphics, interesting strategic possibilities, colony building on the Moon and toy manufacturing. Seriously. [Issue#267]

The first episode of a dark adventure, where childlike elements are mixed with an adult story in a perfect harmony of a noir story. [Issue#267]

Legion is an excellent expansion (after the hated Warlords of Draenor) and is the best thing what could happen to this living game colossus. For former players, Legion is a clear reason to return back to Azeroth. [Issue #268]

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]

Another B-grade survival horror set on the space station. The game has its moments, but mostly it does not surprise you. [Issue #268]
