Rage 2 is a victim of a wave of technical issues and painfully average story but still manages to be one of the most fun FPS you can encounter and can provide you with your adrenaline shot for the day if needed.- PLAY! Zine

It is not an often thing, to have an interesting game that could be really great, if not for awful and cumbersome controls. Immortal Legacy is like a VR clone of the Uncharted series, only with a much more humble storyline, graphics and with a tedious control scheme that will ruin the experience entirely, if you are not a patient kind of a gamer.- PLAY!

In front of us we now have first Dakar rally game in 15 years, and since we waited so long for it, we have mixed feelings and thoughts about it. Yes, we are grateful that somebody took it upon themselves to develop a game based on the most famous and grueling rally in the world, and we can see the effort that went into it, and small things that show the uniqueness of the rally, but on the other hand, it`s hard for a smaller company to make a great game for a rally of this scale, and it is really visible.- PLAY!

Except for the expected technical advancements, the sequel did not really develop in any other of its segments. One could even say that it got degraded in certain aspects. The main mechanics of the game stagnated and brought nothing truly fresh to the table. When everything is taken into account, this sequel is a game just slightly above an average experience.- PLAY!

An addicting puzzle with some cute gore elements. But once the game loses its steam, there's not much to come back to.- PLAY! Zine

In essence, it offers a bit more of everything compared to the PS Vita game from last year, but still very little to the overall Monster Hunter formula.- PLAY! Zine

You cannot shake the feeling that this dark turn based action would fit better on a tablet than on a PC.- PLAY! Zine

Great overall story with rich character customization, well known Saints Row humor and beautiful and nostalgic animations from 80s morning cartoons. It’s hard to look at the positives, among all of the technical problems, and very dull and unvaried open-world and repetitive combat mechanics. Agents of Mayhem comes without any kind of online multiplayer mode, and that’s what makes this game undeserving of its 60$ price tag.- PLAY! Zine

A great idea with a somewhat sloppy execution, This is the Police has tremendous amounts of potential that's currently squandered by pressuring the player to go through a linear route instead of having more open gameplay.- PLAY! Zine

A nonlinear Ghosts 'n Goblins styled game is an interesting but surprisingly bad choice for a video game design. Yet even though it's far from perfect, it still manages to hit hard on those few nostalgia points, and give you an enjoyable experience.- PLAY! Zine

Somerville begins with a promise and ends… It ends wherever you end it, for not all players will endure its 6-8 hours-long run. It is a far cry from the previous „Playdead“ experiences, yet it still holds enough charm to be recommended to fans of this unique genre.- PLAY! Zine

This is a punishing and often not a fair title, but it still offers enough to invite all the challenge seekers out there. Not the greatest of the genre, but still quite enjoyable - if you can take all its ruthless punishments.- PLAY! Zine

Lego Movie 2 The Game is a fun game for the younger audience, but if you are a bit older, you will find it slow and repetitive. When you add the fact that it looks exactly like Lego Worlds, with extra characters, the game is not worth the money, and also the time.- PLAY! Zine

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a technical marvel due to its gorgeous open world with an alluring atmosphere that calls for exploration, but is unfortunately hindered by the “sameness” of Ubisoft open-world games from the past decade. It offers some new elements like wilder parkour sequences and more hunting oriented gameplay, but not even remotely enough to be hailed as something new or innovative.- PLAY! Zine

Necromunda: Underhive Wars is a Third person turn-based strategy based on a war- game in the 40k universe. While it is a good representation of the core gameplay of the war-game, Necromunda is lacking in several segments that need fixing.- PLAY! Zine

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is an overall improvement compared to the previous game in the series but is still somewhat of a sidegrade. Some aspects of the game are great but others are still lacking. Overall, Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a step in the right direction for Invader Studios, and I can't wait to see what they decide to do with their next project.- PLAY! Zine

In the year that had so many good FPS games, Call of Duty failed to bring anything of importance to the medium. The tried and tested formula feels rather stale this year and we might've gotten to a point when the series should just take a break until it figures out what it wants to do.- PLAY! Zine

Even if you can get over the constant grind and repetitive nature of the game's dungeons, what will put you off is RNG that easily wipes your whole parties. Instead of a truly challenging game, Darkest Dungeon turned out to be a frustration generator.- PLAY! Zine

Left Alive is a reason to question the reason. A game to question taste and good will among gamers. It is not a superb title, it's clunky, unpolished and can drive you insane, but there is just that one weird part of it that could make it up to you... It's surprisingly cool, for reasons unknown. If you consider yourself a brave man, give it a go. You just may find something worth your while.- PLAY! Zine

Monster Energy Supercross game brings not so globally known sport to gamers. And although true fans of the sport might find this great, the rest will forget this title in the sea of racing video games, as it won’t leave big impact on you. Beside looking good, Monster Energy Supercross offers a bit improved MXGP game, but not improved enough.- PLAY! Zine

Dreamy and melancholic visuals and soundtrack of River od Alice are easy to admire, but unfortunately, game is lacking meaningful story and contextuality. Some puzzles are great, but others can be quite frustrating, which can be a stumbling stone for more casual players.- PLAY! Zine

If Minecraft had a hammer, it'd crush Riverbond to the ground. Nah, it's only a joke, as it is fairly repetitive and easy, yet fun little title you can enjoy with up to 3 more friends, cooperatively. With lots of voxel explosions! Pretty...- PLAY! Zine

Bunker is not a bad game, but we can only recommend it to hardcore fans of point and click adventures. They’ll get their dose of puzzle solving which in itself is enough these days, as we are not living in the golden age of the genre.- PLAY! Zine

Fair game, but just that. Historically inaccurate and pretty hard and unforgiving. It will push back players and really it cannot keep attention for too long.- PLAY! Zine

Gibbous is a great entry-level point-and-click adventure that has many of the base features of old classics as well as a few new tricks. It very much looks and feels (and even has the humour of such games) as Monkey Island and the like, but it does lack the ingenuity of the puzzles from those games.- PLAY! Zine
