An example of how unsympathetic and otherwise hilarious a game can be. For not a lot of money you get the plain base and the rest you have to buy – and play it in multiplayer only. [March 2012]

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]

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

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]

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]

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

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]

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]

Potentially a great and complex strategy game is absolutely wasted by technical issues – instability, user-unfriendliness and the worst AI we remember so far. [Issue#196]

It is not finished! The state this game was release in cannot be called anything other than beta. [July 2012]

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.

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.

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]

Crackdown doesn't look great, brings no fresh ideas and overall feels like an unnecessary product. Watching a TV fortune-teller is a better waste of time then Crackdown 2. [Aug 2010]

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]

Except of visuals Armikrog has a problem with literally everything. The story is shallow, controls are unintuitive and puzzles are both silly and repetitive. [Issue#257]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

A failed showcase of stolen ideas that forgets to show any sign of its own spirit. [Issue#238]

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.

The third standalone add-on can be described by a single word – amateurism. Originally it was planned as a mod and it should of stayed as a mod permanently. [Dec 2009]

Russian-made real-time strategies are at the top in visual presentation. Unfortunately, it means they are nice to watch but a pain to play - confusing and chaotic with lame controls. [Sept 2009]

“Slovakian Machinarium” is an exemplary case of what makes the authors of Machinarium great – their creative flair and their subtle humor – and what Gomo lacks. [Issue#238]

Is there a single person at SEGA or at the Creative Assembly who thinks they made a really good game? A game someone would want to buy? It’s about time to consider some sacking in both companies. [Apr 2009]
