Supposedly, Bombshell started its life as a Duke Nukem game, yet studio never managed to acquire the license. We're not sure how that game would have turned out, but it probably wouldn't be such an unfinished, bland and painfully unfunny mess as this game.- PLAY! Zine

With the news that WWE games will take a new route regarding the development of their games, we were all skeptical about the future result. Sadly, with the game out now, it is much worse.- PLAY! Zine

Short and boring, with a story that is, to put it simply - bad historical fiction.- PLAY! Zine

It may have a few interesting mechanics up its sleeve, but Babylon’s Fall manages to be one of the least interesting titles we have played as of late. And if you add astoundingly bad visual presentation on top of bland gameplay, you get a mixture that is hard to believe came from such a renowned developer and publisher. Not many will enjoy this one.- PLAY! Zine

Swimmy camera combined with lock on shooting is a recipe for disaster for a game in which you quickly lose all interest. The territory you need to investigate is large, but without a corresponding map, this experience is much less enjoyable.- PLAY! Zine

Serving as an homage to the good old Metal Gear Solid, Spy Drops offers a great retro experience. Unfortunately it suffers from a lot of issues ranging from repetitiveness, poor camera, to very unintuitive controls.- PLAY! Zine

The game has a really interesting world, lore, and story, that could easily get you into playing it. But the gameplay aspects, from a fixed camera, broken combat and save system, a bundle of bugs and boring monsters, drag the game into the ground.- 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

Too many bugs and overall lack of optimization prevents Flashback 2 from being at least a decent new entry and sequel to such a legendary series. Give the game a chance only if you are a die hard fan and you have the patience to suffer through its multiple issues.- PLAY! Zine

It may be free and as some of its aspects are concerned, fairly fun to play. But on the other hand, eFootball 2022 is plagued with horrible bugs and glitches, graphical monstrosities and outdated physics. As a whole, it is something you may enjoy in a short run. But in this state, if the game is not improved, Konami may change the price from “free” to “paying us back” – it still won't save the poor franchise.- PLAY! Zine

As if Gollum hasn't had his fair share of suffering, Daedalic Entertainment has decided that we have to share some more with him. Unfortunately, a potentially intriguing angle of storytelling and an ever-interesting world this time falls short in every sense imaginable - crashes that occur more often than you can count, unpolished gameplay, inconsistent voice acting and storytelling... Sadly, there are a few things more precious than your time - the time you could spend elsewhere, not playing a game that has lost its direction and, unfortunately, turned out plain bad.- PLAY! Zine

This is a 3D puzzle game in which you have to play vignettes in order to reach the puzzles. Creating team dabbled with every type of game genre they could have, and created this Frankengame.- PLAY! Zine

The real horror is where this franchise is heading. Alone in the Dark Illumination is an abomination of a video game that you should avoid.- 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

Using the full potential of VR technology, Esper 2 immerses you into its fantasy worlds, offering plethora of intriguing and varied puzzles set in 3D space. If only it lasted longer, it would be our favorite VR game so far.- PLAY! Zine

Entering its third season, Killer Instinct has finally reached PC audience in its best incarnation to date. A fighting game that will please different player profiles, KI is a spectacular game that runs butter-smooth, with great netcode and one of the best tutorials we've ever seen in genre.- PLAY! Zine

Another great set of tables by Zen Studios, a trio of pinballs that's an obvious recommendation to fans of Alien saga. This pack offers dozens of hours of hectic fun even to players who have less interest in the source material, considering these are among the most challenging pinballs the studio has produced to date.- PLAY!

Interesting concept, fun gameplay with huge variety, simple and clear rules are what makes Boss Monster a great game for when you're looking for a head to head card-based experience. Minor bugs and DLC annoyances do bring its score, and enjoyment, down by a notch.- PLAY! Zine

Even with seven-year-old graphics, Shadow Complex looks and runs great, with fluid animations and sprawling levels that any metroidvania game dreams of. This is an essential game for every metroidvania fan.- PLAY! Zine

An investment in nearly endless amounts of fun, Drawful 2 is a definitive party game for up to 8 players that's so easy to grasp, so everyone can play. Its low price is a perfect reason not to miss this little gem.- PLAY! Zine

BetaDwarf not only managed to create an addictive base game, but they hit it out of the park with a DLC that properly expands the experience. Settsa might get a nerf at one point, but it's tremendously fun to play.- PLAY! Zine

By all accounts an average game, Lost Sea doesn't excel neither in its gameplay department, nor visual presentation. It is an entry game for beginners to the action RPG genre, but even they could find a much better experiences elsewhere.- PLAY! Zine

Run, jump, squash your foes, grab some coins then repeat. A formula so simple, but it still works like a charm. For the entry price, Goblin and Coins is one cute distraction.- PLAY! Zine

Hockey is returning to your local PC and is Super Bloody good. Fast paced, atmospheric, a tad violent, and completely retro, Super Blood Hockey will provide you with tons of fun, even if you are not a fan of the sport.- PLAY! Zine
