    If you compare it to the previous installments you might feel disappointed. If you compare it to the rest of the gaming industry, then you’ll experience the ingenious excellence. The mixed feelings between an unfinished story and premium gameplay fail to ruin the greatness of what The Phantom Pain really is. But you won’t be able to shake off the regret of great not being even greater.

    A fun homage to older games, Evoland 2 relies too much on nostalgia effect to fully explore it’s fun initial concept.

    Beautiful visuals accompanied by an intriguing story. Everybody’s gone to the Rapture offers a unique experience that you won’t easily find anywhere else.

    Zombi can live without U. Innovative concept is the main strength of this title, now available to a wider audience.

    Rocket League has the most addicting gameplay we experienced in a while now. Playing this game reminded us why we fell in love with gaming in the first place.

    Looks and plays good, but lacks so much in every other department compared to the standards set by the previous titles in the series.

    A great game, and finally on a system that can run it properly.

    This table might not be as hilarious as the movie it was based on, but it offers a good amount of fun for the price.

    Aterdux Entertainment decided to make an interesting low fantasy mix of adventure, turn-based strategy combat and RPG elements. Legends of Eisenwald offers many hours of fun, enjoyment and, unfortunately, a myriad of shortcomings all packed together.

    With memorable art style and brilliant narrator, Guild of Dungeoneering is a whimsical card game with RPG elements. A light-hearted adventure that lacks depth, but offers a really fun challenge.

    Clever as ever, and as much poetic. The game does not bring much in the sense of new content, but extends the successful formula to deliver another puzzle-ish bloodbath. May be pricey, but it's pretty spicy.

    Aside from generic zombie survival theme, Deadline is a watered-down spin-off of its much better predecessor, riddled with bugs and framerate issues that should've been ironed-out during Early Access stage.

    If you like the style and dynamics of Daedalic adventures, you should not miss Anna’s Quest.

    The atmosphere and the feeling of being lost and hopeless in a harsh environment is where Kholat really delivers its memorable experience.

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

    The end of a trilogy the Batman Arkham series deserved. One of the most fun open world environments you’ll find in any game, mixed in with a good storyline and fun, but at times flawed gameplay.

    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.

    All the violence and shock value can’t hide the mediocre game behind it.

    A well balanced and dynamic MOBA game that proves that this genre doesn’t need to follow strict rules. Blizzard has proven their class once again.

    Co-op is where Magicka really shines. You’ll forget about the inconsistent camera and unpolished controls, because you’ll be too busy having fun while playing the game.

    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.

    The game might offer some fun moments, but as a whole, it can’t even try to compete with similar titles, such as Portal.

    Even after seven years, you’ll be hard pressed to find a game that better demonstrates the absolute top of the hack and slash genre.

    An ambitious mix of themes and characters that are equally engaging, bizarre and funny.

    If you liked The New Order, you will definitely enjoy this game. It may not be too long and might not have much content to offer, but as a standalone prequel The Old Blood more than delivers on its promise.

    Windward is way too simplistic and repetitive. If Tasharen Entertainment expanded economic system, spiced up the combat and made more interesting quests, things would have been a lot different.

    Toren could have been a good game. Artistic design sets the right tone, but the outdated graphics, numerous bugs and duration of about two hours have completely ruined what this game could have been.

    Over 100 hours of pure action RPG bliss. The new standard for the genre has been set.
