    Marcus Phoenix is completely old, his Lancer finally rusted. Something needs to be changed, gentlemen. Let's start with new visual effects, complemented by quality developers of all the details - creation of new weapons, completion of fascinating historical and more compelling multi-player and cooperative modes.

    A good candidate for the title of killer of the evening. For more, unfortunately, Urang Medan did not have enough traction.

    Not the brightest representative of the Wolfenstein family, which, nevertheless, is able to entertain the less-demanding player. We are waiting for a real sequel.

    I would recommend this game only to true Lovecraft’s fans. Follow the story and don’t step aside – otherwise, due to a large number of side quests, you may completely lose the thread of the story. You won’t find interesting gameplay mechanics, gloomy atmosphere or something like that in this game. All I managed to find was a simple detective story with elements of mysticism and a bunch of controversial design solutions. I definitely do not advise you to spend money on The Sinking City.

    We have to admit that the single player in this game has no potential. Not everyone wants to play all day long, exploring the map, like in Fallout – it just gets boring. Rage 2 could become a perfect Battle Royale experience or pretty simple MMO, but as the game, designed for single player walkthrough, it can keep your interest only for a couple of evenings, perhaps forcing you to come back from time to time to explore all corners of this world.

    It's obvious that Anthem didn't have enough development time, but had some great potential. It's a real shame, that everything turned out this way. Even now, the game can bring out positive emotions. Hasty climbers have sudden falls. No matter how ironic this proverb may seem, it's incredibly relevant for Anthem.

    Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition will definitely appeal to fans of the genre.

    The gameplay of the last episode is disappointing, but The Council is still a great game as a whole.

    KURSK can be interesting as a virtual guide to Oscar-II submarines, but as a video game it's just mediocre.

    Fallout 76 meant to change the very concept of the series, but turned out to be a complete disaster. The game is not only boring and empty, but sometimes simply unplayable.

    Overkill's The Walking Dead brings nothing new to the genre. Visually the game looks nice, but its gameplay is too boring and predictable.

    The whole game is just a postcard to commemorate the end of the Great War. It is touching and frustrating at the same time.

    Call of Cthulhu is an interesting game in which many things cause confusion. It has a nice story, but its mechanics are either poorly balanced or unnecessary at all.

    Gwent is a nice card game, but its final version is totally different from what everyone expected.

    We Happy Few looks like it didn't come out of Early Access, but just slipped into beta.
    • 76 Metascore

    The first episode repeats too many situations from previous seasons. As a result, it becomes too predictable.
    • 69 Metascore

    A long cyberpunk adventure that manages to be both unique and unoriginal, intriguing and terribly dull.

    If you enjoy Portal-like puzzles and don't look for an interesting story, The Spectrum Retreat may appeal to you.
    • 71 Metascore

    The third episode is an excellent example of clever story writing, but visiting the same locations over and over again is too boring.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mothergunship deliberately uses cliches, excessive pathos and pop culture jokes. The game does not take itself seriously, and in this case it's a real problem.

    At first you don't understand the game at all, then you start to admire it, but in the end it just becomes too boring.

    Unravel Two offers decent cooperative gameplay, but the the game itself is too repetitive, and the difficulty level is way too low.

    Ancestors Legacy is short on content, but its story missions are diverse, and the skirmish mode can bring you a lot of fun.

    TT Isle of Man may be an interesting game for true fans of motorbikes, but with dead multiplayer and small amount of content it won't live for a long time.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    The story of Far Cry 5 is too underdeveloped. The game still offers a great sandbox experience, but sometimes it feels too random and empty inside.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Sea of Thieves really shines in co-op, but offers too little content for the price.
    • 65 Metascore

    Ash of Gods has many of its elements almost directly copied from The Banner Saga, but it doesn't help the game. The story is badly written, and the game's mechanics are not balanced properly.

    Surviving Mars is an unintuitive game that really needs some kind of tutorial. Still, it perfectly captures the atmosphere of exploring and colonizing the Red Planet.

    Exorder is a nice but too simple game to be released anywhere but on mobile platforms. Playing it on a PC is like trying to run Angry Birds on a 40-inch TV.

    Metal Gear Survive is just a mediocre game, and the absence of Kojima has nothing to do with that.

    Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is a really strange game. Sometimes it becomes addictive, and sometimes you hate it. Just know that if you don't know anything about the game's universe, its story will look to you like a mess.

    The economy model in Railway Empire is so simple that it's practically impossible to ruin it. On the other hand, laying tracks and managing trains is the best part of the game.

    You can try The Red Strings Club if you are a fan of cyberpunk stories, visual novels and retrowave. Just know that the game has a really slow pace and sometimes can be boring.

    Curse of Osiris has some beautiful locations, but it doesn't really expand the game. After finishing the DLC, you will have nothing more to do in Destiny 2.

    If you are looking for a rich cyberpunk fantasy atmosphere, Seven: The Days Long Gone may be the game for you. If you are after good stealth or fighting gameplay, you better skip it.

    LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 utilizes the same mechanics that were used in all previous games of the franchise. If you played some LEGO games before, there is a chance that you will be bored to death.

    Oriental Empires combines the ideas from Civilization, Europa Universalis and Total War, making a very interesting game based on Chinese history. Unfortunately, its balance is not great, but the game definitely has some potential.

    It's good to have such game from Runic as Hob, but it's bad to not have Torchlight 3.

    Sundered is another example of a good concept that was poorly realized. During the first five minutes the game is nice, but after that you have to force yourself to play it.
