If Kirby series could lay an egg, and you made an omelette with it, it would be Whipseey - a short breakfast that could use at least a bit more salt. It is an extremely tiny platformer with a few cheap deaths hidden around a corner, but still en enjoyable retro gaming hour for any fan of the old school.- PLAY! Zine

Aside from its pretty graphics and realistic physics, there's not much that Dangerous Golf has to offer. The sheer chaos gets repetitive after a while and with no complexity in the gameplay department, this is a game that gets too dull too fast.- PLAY! Zine

In case you want to "get your hands dirty" and working on virtual farms is your kind of fun, it is clear that this game is the right choice for you. However if you are a newcomer to the series, the game will overwhelm you with the amount of details and hard to understand terminology.- PLAY! Zine

If it didn't say "Assassin's Creed" on the tin, we wouldn't be completely sure what we've played. Nor were Ubisoft sure where were they heading with this series.- PLAY! Zine

The quality and your enjoyment of the game varies greatly during its running time, as Shadwen occasionally offers moments of gameplay brilliance while most of the time it just falls flat. If you do manage to endure it, you do get rewarded, but it is too high of a demand when playing the game feels more like a chore.- PLAY! Zine

Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles didn’t need a remaster, but it did deserve preservation. Unfortunately, aside from slightly enhanced graphics, little has changed or improved. The controls feel jankier than ever, and the same frustrations from years ago remain intact. That said, it might still shine as a co-op drinking game, taking a shot every time you're knocked down by a blaster shot. Or maybe not, someone could get poisoned.- PLAY! Zine

Redfall is a major disappointment from a well-established studio that brought us the hit Dishonored. While I expected an immersive sim that would build on the phenomenal foundations of their previous games, I got a cookie-cutter looter shooter with an empty world, a non-existent story and very little fun. With the steep price attached to this title, I would not recommend it even with a fat discount.- PLAY! Zine

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is a disappointing mess, unworthy of a once great and unique racing franchise. It has great potential to become a fun driving game, but with its nonfunctional online-only campaign, lack of content and cars, and completely outdated visuals, it is really hard to recommend to anyone.- PLAY!

Building Have Feelings Too! is a game where charming looks, good presentation and the humoristic story is in a constant fight with average gameplay that doesn’t allow it to become something great.- PLAY! Zine

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!

South Park: Snow Day! Is a decent attempt at ‘’mixing things up’’, changing genres and stepping into a 3D plane, but it falls somewhat short of reaching that milestone of excellence. With its shallow gameplay and repetitive and poorly balanced combat, Snow Day!’s only saving grace is its 4-player co-op. It’s great for South Park fans, too.- PLAY! Zine

Mechanicaly identical to Space Marine, Eternal Crusade feels like it should've stayed in the early access stage for a while. It will take a lot of fixing and a hefty price drop until we could recommend this side of the grimdark 40K universe.- PLAY! Zine

Realpolitiks by Jujubee is a good concept that went astray at some point and lots of features in game could have been executed better. Constant pop-up windows with choices are annoying and repetitive, warfare is horrible and overall game is too simple and content lacking.- PLAY! Zine

Rogue Corps is an insult to the cult franchise. It downgrades and splatters the mud all over the once very fun and extremely hard run ’n’ gun gameplay, with its repetitive levels, enemies and irritating overheat mechanics.- PLAY! Zine

Fallout 76 represents a big disappointment and the lowest point of the series so far. Riddled with bugs, repetitive and dull gameplay, nonexistent story and outdated graphics, it fails as a both multiplayer and singleplayer experience for fans and newcomers alike.- PLAY! Zine

The new TMNT is a repetitive slog that is nowhere near the greatness of original comic nor cartoons and it's a real shame that Platinum Games let such an unpolished game out of their door.- PLAY! Zine

Shiny could've been a good game that would leave its mark in the platforming genre. It could've stood toe to toe with Meat boy, Mario and even Portal. It could have, but it doesn't.- PLAY! Zine

Plagued with flaws, this game could be at least decent if it only had a grain of charm. Somehow it misses all the elements it needs to have in order to be the game it wants to be, and can only appeal to the hardest of hardcore fantasy lovers out there.- PLAY! Zine

Rockstar dropped the ball on this remaster. The cars and other moving models look like plastic toys and the cities look like polished excrement. The contrast between the environment and the models is horrible and the list of bugs is long and obnoxious. Quality of life changes are the only redeeming part of this remaster that does no favours for fans or newcomers. Skip it until they either fix it or let the moders do their job.- PLAY! Zine

A game that strips the concept of turn-based strategy to its bare bones, without an intriguing story, but with a tedious grind that will turn the player away very soon.- PLAY! Zine

Vane is a storm of impressions. A beautiful and intriguing journey through innovation and mystery, plagued with bad camera angles, glitches and low framerate. Yet, it somehow manages to keep your sense of wonder over most of its flaws, and be an amazing and breathtaking, but sadly, a short title.- PLAY! Zine

Devil’s Hunt is one hunt not worth going on in this game. It is shrouded in a myriad of technical, gameplay, and even voice issues. The story is even half-told and it is expected to be finished in a sequel. Avoid for now.- PLAY! Zine

If we take away blood and violence, we’ll be left with an empty shell with rewind mechanics. After first hour it becomes extremely boring and repetitive. Do not play this if you are fan of the movie.- PLAY! Zine

The best thing about Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is the fact it’s one of the very few video games based on the renowned anime franchise. The rest of it is mediocre, dull, stiff and repetitive. A few solid moments in the pile of sad and poor content makes this a hard game to recommend, but an easy one not to.- PLAY! Zine
