Kapital Sparks of Revolution suffers from a few technical difficulties such as some bugs and mechanism ambiguities. However, it offers a wealth of options marrying aspects of Anno and Tropico series and newer titles like Frostpunk. The 2D late 90's aesthetic is superb and fits the character of the game. All in all, a decent indie game, we await more titles with even greater scope from Lapovich team.

Despite the fact that it gives a feeling of its content being rushed, TIAOVH3 offers six completely new and different classes to enjoy. This combined with the overall series' signature humour, Easter eggs and steampunk atmosphere, provide a solid action-RPG experience for every fan of the genre. Definitely worth giving a look.

An honest and relatively successful effort at replicating the Dark Souls formula in a sci-fi setting.

Different look but familiar and beloved gameplay with some successful innovations. Any issues are relatively minor and do not significantly detract from the enjoyment.

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League is not a bad game. It is an uneven game, which falls victim to today's market conditions. A lot of talented contributors worked here, and it shows in the result.

Rauniot honestly tries to deliver a grim tale of post-apocalyptic horror, but only partially succeeds, with a series of missteps preventing it from really standing out.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India is a decent effort, perhaps the closest thing to Prince of Persia we can have today, but it certainly would have better luck if it maintained a high level of quality throughout its (short) duration.

A honest and well crafted foray into the terrors and shadows of Norse folklore. Antagonist’s debut may not dazzle with it’s execution but, much like the first album of a promising band, places them firmly on the gaming map.

Brutal, irreverent, funny and banking on some rock solid Castle Crashers/Binding of Isaac mechanics that will simply have you playing "one more level" long into the night.

Empire of Sin is a love-letter to the old-school design of Bullfrog games. Part management sim, part RPG, part XCOM (with gangsters), it achieves its goal to bring different elements together into a cohesive and enjoyable unit. Its shortcomings and few bugs did not affect how much fun we had testing this game.

Unrelenting, old school rogue-like with a beautiful presentation and an alluring B-movie script that keeps you coming back time and again, until you finally manage to escape the cursed skyscraper of Skyhill Hotel. Highly addictive and deeply atmospheric, this one is thoroughly recommended even to non-fans of the genre.

A true labor of love, Quest for Infamy celebrates the legend of Sierra On-Line of yore, even as it probably terrifies and mystifies anyone born after 1994 or so. A huge game, chock full of content, it will make you work for every inch of ground you get and always manage to leave a smile on your face.

Pure, unadulterated, manic fun that speaks to every sane person's desire to really just be a humongous black devil goat, merrily wreaking havoc unto the unsuspecting world of mortals. GOATY 2014.

Daymare: 1998 is an unapologetic love letter to horror games of the 90's and especially the Resident Evil series. It may be janky and tough at times, which is likely to put off newcomers, but it will have a certain appeal to the fans of the genre.

Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager is a generally addictive management game with an original theme and a few tense moments during the mission execution phase of the game. Unfortunately some glaring issues like the cumbersome game menus and the poor presentation mean that the game is more suited for those who are really big fans of the subject matter.

The Sundew is what we call "wasted potential". Without being in any way bad and providing a remarkable artistic approach, it promises much more than it ultimately delivers, and its good ideas get lost in the general mediocrity that pervades it.

High production values, excellent fun and the closest you will get to an interactive version of “Smokey and the Bandit” in this video game generation. A very pleasant surprise for Mafia fans, and the Herbalism side quest alone is worth the price of admission.

Extraordinarily dark writing and an impeccable sense of time and place coupled with the greatest licensed video game soundtrack to date, make Mafia III a creative triumph. Its mechanical shortcomings will only apply to gamers concerned with Twitch heroics more than living through one of the most interesting time periods of recent history. A very solid recommendation.

An interesting spin on the Darkest Dungeon formula that is very much worth a playthrough but currently lacks the necessary depth to ensure replayability.

A rather underwhelming sequel to Troika's legendary RPG, which is somewhat redeemed if treated as a simple VtM action-adventure with an interesting detective story at its core.

Dex is a game that definitely deserves to see and experience. It is not the game of the year or the best indie RPG we've ever played, but it's a well-built effort that will excite fans of 2D action games, sprinkled with reasonable quantities of RPG mechanisms and a satisfactory story to support it.

With very dense storytelling and ambiguous ending, The Old City: Leviathan is a very intriguing, non-conventional (walking-simulator) title that will leave you wondering what you experienced during your play. Its philosophical inquiries will keep on nagging, pressing for one more playthrough in the hopes of getting a clearer meaning.

Clever profound, narrative elements which target a mature audience are hindered by gameplay elements which are intended for rather inexperienced players. The lack of gameplay identity or - better- the confusing amalgam of its elements really spoil the happiness.

Betrayer in no way is a bad game, but also it is not what one would expect from developers with such experience. If you are interested in a remarkable horror/adventure/FPS with heavy exploration and mystery, then it is worth your attention, otherwise check somewhere else.

This is a cute, very easy and extremely short adventure game, which doesn’t avoid some pitfalls that inevitably weaken the overall sense it leaves us.

Hellbound is a decent old school FPS, which seems to do most things right, but it suffers from a serious lack of variety and really short duration.

The visual and driving improvements, compared to F1 2014, are more than obvious, but the game still lacks some crucial aspects, such as safety car, smart penalty system and more aggressive and intelligent behaviour for drivers controlled by CPU. Also, all the content and the ideas that Codemasters already has in its hands from previous installments (Career mode, Practice objectives, Classic mode, Diamond races, Champions mode and previous circuits, such as Hockenheim, Valencia, Nurburgring, India, Korea, Instanbul) must make their return in F1 2016.

A great fantasy story with wonderful dialogues and well-crafted heroes is ruined by the most important aspect of a video game... gameplay.

Crytek offers us the most visually beautiful game in recent months but the improvements that could be done are numerous and concern mainly the gameplay, the campaign duration and some serious bugs.

The Perils of Man confirms that well chosen and original ideas, as well as stories concerning timeless questions of humanity often result in very interesting adventure games, even if they don't have a high production budget.

An unsatisfactory repetition of last year's game, F1 2014 cannot justify its release. The minor gameplay improvements are inadequate, compared to the various deficiencies, such as graphics and sound stagnation, lack of ERS system, absence of a special gaming mode like Champions or Classic mode of 2012 and 2013 respectively, problematic A.I and erratic penalty system.

Sword Coast Legends aimed very high and missed its mark by a long shot. While it might be a fun action-RPG set in Faerûn, it pales in comparison to any recent top-notch, kickstartered RPG releases. Hopefully, we'll see some improvements in the near future, but overall the game feels like a hastily done, half-finished experience.

Eventually the motto "Hunt Bigger Game" for Magic 2015 should be changed to "Hunt for Money". Stay away from this game.

Although We Are the Dwarves had an amazing potential with a great concept and interesting mechanics, its technical oversights and gimmicky difficulty force the game to miss its mark.

Extremely easy puzzles and full of "un-politically correct" jokes in the first short chapter of a point 'n' click adventure, which maybe later ends up as a decent game.

Despite the successful attempt at reimaging a classic, Commandos 2: HD has been delivered with a considerable number of bugs and performance issues. We also find the decision to remove all references to Nazism and Nationalist symbols an insult to the game's heritage and the WWII victims' memory. Quite honestly what does the game justice is its timeless gameplay.

Decay: The Mare is a pure horror game. Even if it does not quite succeed as an adventure game, its great atmosphere and music is more than enough reason to give it a chance.

A decent attempt at providing a compelling Darkest Dungeon-like game that stumbles due to the lack of combat depth and some balancing issues. The game is worth a try as soon as the developers have had a chance to tweak their formula.

Even though Ary and the Secret of Seasons may not be the best action nor the best adventure game out there, it is unique in the way you decide how to change the environment around you.

The feeling Subject 13 finally leaves is that it meets the expectations of its 647 backers, as well as those of anybody else who has previously played one of Cuisset's games. It may not be the adventure game that will charm the majority of casual gamers, nor the one that mainstream reviewers will appreciate, but it's dedicated to true fans of the genre, due to the smart and difficult enough puzzles it includes. It won't disappoint them.

While some of Godfall's systems are polished and well-designed (e.g. combat) the title fails to bring everything together. The result, although visually spectacular, is quite underwhelming, imposed by the demanding grinding which feels like a chore rather than motivation. A missed chance.

Aaru's Awakening is a fiendishly hard game that harkens back to an era where side scrolling games were made for patient and persistent gamers. Fans of the genre will appreciate the nostalgia trip but it's possible that some of them will be put off from its high difficulty and unforgiving gameplay. If you think you' re up to the challenge, then you should check it out, especially at a discount.

If the game is good or not depends on your perspective and on what you were expecting from it. I was expecting an interactive storytelling game with some few simple puzzles and this is exactly what I got.

A genuine, modern, descendant of old-times’ rail shooters, Blue Estate successfully combines beautifully designed levels with humor, self-sarcasm and light nudity. At the same time it offers countless hours of engagement to those gamers who enjoy progressing in a game’s leaderboards.

Shuffling the gameplay deck as we've come to know it in the previous two South Park games creates some interesting Roguelite prospects. The fairly poor variety of available content and short story duration, however, make Snow Day! at this stage the poorest member of the "New Kid" trilogy.

This is a game that needs to be approached with the right mindset in order to be fully and properly understood. Murdered is an interactive movie with a story straight out of the best 90's b-reel supernatural horror flicks that dominated the video store of an era long bygone. The challenge level is extremely low but the mood and nighttime atmosphere the game evokes are hard to deny. Destined for Steam Sale must-buy status, Murdered is a game that will engage you and take you back to a simpler time, even as it celebrates its b-movie heritage and paper-thin actual gameplay.

VoidExpanse manages to be both satisfying and disappointing at the same time. At its core the game is a competent sci-fi action-RPG with some interesting elements and a solid 3D engine to boot, but it is lacking in compelling content in order to keep the player engaged for longer than a single playthrough. It's not a bad purchase if you've already played the heavy hitters in the genre but its gameplay gets repetitive and 'grindy' relatively fast.

The Last of Us Part I is a unique quality game, worth trying on your PC. If the technical issues that have been reported are resolved, then this is a must-have.

If you feel the need for some mindless shooting when taking a break from more thought-demanding games, Dead Effect will fit you. Otherwise stay away from it, or it will drive you crazy.

A successor mostly in name and less in essence that suffers from limited scope. It tries to attract veterans and newcomers alike, ultimately failing to provide challenge and depth to the former and something innovative and on par with the competition to the latter.

As cold as the waters around Alcatraz are, according to the game, such was my personal chill after completing 1954: Alcatraz. While I was waiting for another hit from the German studio, what I finally faced was the weakest and most problematic adventure game they have given us so far. Unfortunately one adventure game that we had many hopes for, turns out to be a disappointment.

A typical action adventure game with an interesting crafting system. Although it doesn't have big designing mistakes, the game fails to be interesting enough and something we would remember for a long time.

Skull and Bones is visually beautiful, and the frantic pace of its ship-to-ship battles can potentially provide intense PVP and PVE thrills. However, as a result of its turbulent, decade-long development cycle and the game's resulting "identity crisis", its high points end up getting lost in a sea of mediocrity.

It desperately tries to reproduce some of its predecessor's elements that led to success, but fails miserably. There's a very specific and suitable word that captures it: Disappointment.

Kyn is a disappointing title. I don't recommend anyone to spend their money and buy a game with a bad and unfair battle system, problematic path finding, shallow scenario, uninspired characters and minimal character customization. Get the soundtrack instead.

A fun but technically unstable Zombies mode and some nostalgic additions to Multiplayer probably don't make up for the worst Campaign we've seen so far in a CoD game, nor do they fully redeem the game's integrity, a game which would have been better off released at half price as an expansion for MWII.

Despite its issues, Black Legend can offer an enjoyable 20-hour playthrough to fans of the Tactical RPG genre. A lot of work is needed, however, if it is to achieve anything greater than that.

Gorgeous visuals, an evocative soundtrack and a dreamy, magical realist vibe are hindered by poorly designed puzzles that hinge more on mad trial and error rather than actual observation. A unique experience that falls short of greatness.

Ubisoft failed to deliver a fresh Ghost Recon title and they were focused on how to import the open world of Wildlands into a virtual store. During the making process, they forgot that Ghost Recon series were always about realistic tactical shooting and not about exploring and looting like a maniac.

The promising implementation of Warhammer 40k's universe collapses under countless technical issues. In its current state, Space Hulk: Deathwing can be suggested only to die-hard fans of the franchise, who are willing to tolerate an unfinished product.

The fact that it successfully revives the 2000's style of games, along with their problems, doesn't mean it deserves any kind of a pass. Wanted: Dead is aimed at a strictly specific audience and no one else. It doesn't even have impressive graphics to grab the attention of the rest of us, and the voice over is mediocre and irritatingly repetitive. The fact that, price-wise at least, it's being marketed as an AAA title can only be described as another joke by its creators.

Scrap Garden is a very charming and relaxing 3D platform game to spend an afternoon or two and its simplistic gameplay and low difficulty make it a decent point of entry for children or beginners to the genre. With its main drawbacks being little duration and lack of sufficient adrenaline inducing set pieces, I would be hard pressed to recommend it for a full price.

Combining many indie games in one sounds great in theory, but the implementation isn't as good as in practice. Although it is a solid platform game, the puzzles and the collaboration between the heroes struggle to maintain the player's interest. At least if someone is inclined to overlook the game's problems, he will have some good moments with it.

Randal's Monday had the potential to be a really great adventure. The plot is interesting enough and tickles the curiosity of the player to see how the story ends, but the game suffers from many exaggerated puzzles and some tiresome dialogues.

It's a real pity that a promising game like Armikrog, which is shining in terms of animation, voice acting and persona, falls so short due to various bugs, sound problems, puzzle repetition and serious design flaws such as lack of hot spots and corresponding indicator. It could be a much better game but obviously it wasn't ready for launch at this time.

Full of the ghosts of “the game that could have been”, The Technomancer’s solid combat mechanics and well thought out character classes cannot mask the absolutely terrible voice acting and presentation of the story. Through it’s 30 plus hour campaign it is fairly impossible that you will care about any of the characters you come across. Extensive backtracking and enemy respawning will test a potential player’s goodwill to it’s limits.

Can't remember another adventure game that features such caustic satire on real life phenomena of the era in which it's being released. It tries to send various messages in all directions and becomes a strong voice against violence and racism events.

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 does not seem to try hard enough in any of its fields, and especially in the most important one: being a fun game. Both its open world and exploration elements, as well as the racing part, seem unfinished and rather dull. Perhaps we should have gotten an expansion to the first game of the series instead of this release.

The “blindness” premise commits narrative suicide by effectively presenting the player with a complete, yet terribly drab view of the game-world. Furthermore, no real sense of danger or urgency is ever created and the game’s narrative falls victim to genre tropes once too many. The very definition of a noble failure, Perception fails to engage the player on an emotional level and crumbles under the weight of its monotony.

There are great, better priced RPGs out there so I do not suggest investing in this title of Spiders. Any good ideas are destroyed due to mediocre implementation, appalling technical issues and countless mistakes, an outcome of haste and sloppiness.

To the question if Monochroma meets the high expectations raised from the Kickstarter campaign, the answer is no. However, despite the game's mediocrity, there are some glimpses of quality and since it's the studio's first attempt, there could be better results in the future.

Hektor is an atmospheric horror-game, that, unfortunately, has a blunt and boring plot, non-existent difficulty and minimal duration.

Onikira: Demon Killer is by no means a bad effort, it has some nice fun moments, but the somehow monotonous gameplay and the unpolished game mechanics make it hard to convince you to buy it at full price.

Despite various shortcomings like lack of polish in combat, some disorientating segments set in three dimensions and a very short duration, it manages to maintain a satisfactory level of quality through its unique world, beautiful, artistic design and pure enjoyment. Woolfe - Red Hood Diaries is a "fair-y" game after all.

Warhammer Quest is a great digital port of a classic tabletop dungeon crawl. Unfortunately the extra content should be open to everyone. Feel safe to invest only for a full package at a solid discount and you will enjoy many epic adventures of old school awesomeness.

Honest, atmospheric and whilst not groundbreaking, ideal company for a rainy afternoon of whiskey and cigarettes.

Homefront: The Revolution "borrows" successfully some proven worthy ideas, it has good implementation in some things, in others not and all of them combined create a perfect ... mediocrity. Just like its predecessor.

Moebius: Empire Rising bears a resemblance to an expensive item, like the ones its protagonist values. While initially it seems extremely valuable, even though it comes in a not so beautiful package, in the end it appears to be of not so high value. It's not fake by any means, it's just that it does not correspond to the promises its fame and figure had created.

The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything may at times be too pleased with its eviscerating critique of Western civilization but this does not change the fact that this short, albeit inspired adventure game packs essential truths of life in its two hours. Ideal drinking companion for malcontents, loners and assorted Enemies of the Majority.

As if trying to be shown up as "dreamy" with a nice story, the admittedly quite well for its kind graphics and an imaginative soundtrack, Red Goddess fails in the most crucial points of a Metroidvania-style game.

AC Chronicles: Russia is the weakest entry of the Chronicles series and surely the most rushed one. Too bad for the nicely done gloomy visuals.

This adventure game has nothing to be jealous of, compared to other games of equal or slightly larger budget. It clearly shows that Zima Software is ready to take a further step in the industry, which may result in a big hit.

Creating a decent point 'n' click adventure is not an easy task. Angelo and Deemon starts with an interesting idea, but it falls flat in almost all aspects of what we call a high-quality adventure game.

Escape Dead Island is a solid c-reel splatter movie, offering simple yet satisfying stealth and combat, along with a plethora of interesting collectibles to discover. Its main narrative and the way it presents itself is by far its greatest strength. Its cardinal sin is that it is being sold as a full price AAA title, when it is very clearly, a budget release, destined for Steam sale cult game stardom. It will entertain you, but the price needs to be right.

While the very foundations of the game may be good, the overall execution is mediocre in all aspects at best. Plagued by netcode and performance issues, it is evident that the title was rushed out the door. The only thing left to do with Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade is to hope that Behaviour Interactive can somehow improve it and make it a much more enjoyable experience than what it is now.

Mighty No. 9 is not a tragedy of a game. It plays mainly as a nostalgia act of an old era, ignoring ostentatiously the more advanced gameplay mechanisms of the modern action/platform games. If you know what to expect, you will not have a bad time. Otherwise, it would be better to stay away.

Its empty and soulless world, completely bland quest design, limited variety of unpolished content that gets repetitive very quickly, plus the typical game-breaking bugs and glitches we've come to expect from a Bethesda title using the same decades-old game engine, mean that Fallout 76 is a game that doesn't even quite manage to appeal to the special "co-op/survival" crowd it wants to appeal to in the first place, let alone old or newer fans of the Fallout franchise.

A tremendous wasted opportunity for a definitive remake of a legendary turn-based game. Its gameplay fundamentals are solid, the presentation is nice and the combat system is fun enough, but numerous technical problems, performance issues, unfinished and sloppy gameplay and interface elements as well as several other issues tarnish a game that may eventually become quite good with further development and support. Until that happens you are better off waiting.

Syberia 3 may have some touching moments and interesting characters, as well as puzzles consistent with the game's lore, but questionable gameplay choices, technical issues and a weak ending that doesn't offer any conclusion, leave a lot to be desired.

If you can tolerate limited gameplay options and wish to experience fast-paced, simple online battles, Bannermen will hold some appeal for you. Otherwise, if you are looking for more complex systems or your next favorite RTS, you should probably spend your time and money elsewhere.

Silver Chains is a mundane haunted house saunter with all the twists and turns you would expect in a premise like this. Even though there is some chilling ambience in there, its short duration, meagre evocative moments and easy puzzles constitute a rather unexceptional experience.

A mediocre start for Unreal Engine 4, on a game with surprise, horror and agony lasting no more than 30 minutes. Apart from that, it is a constant repetition with very few jump scares.

The road to failure is paved with good intentions. The developers love for the literary version of Victorian London and the works of Marion Bradley are evident. Their ability to create a compelling narrative game however, is not. Technical limitations, scenes that are little more than alpha stage concept art, underdeveloped characters that fail to connect with players in any meaningful way and a complete absence of puzzles or emotionally resonant story beats, make Dance of Death very hard to recommend.

Double Dragon IV has only nostalgia value. Beyond that, the game does not really have any reason to exist. Better try a classic game of the series to known emulators out there.

Animal Gods has nice visuals and music but almost no gameplay. Bearing also in mind its short duration it fails to deliver a complete experience.

There are few times where Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z manages to induce positive emotions to the player. Perhaps only in the initial stages, when you do not know what you are going to face, the relatively good cel-shaded graphics or the sometimes nicely done humor. Only for hack 'n' slash fans that check frequently the bargain bin.

After 9 years of drought, there is a Hockey game on PC again! Old Time Hockey is an indie title flavored with brutal ‘70s taste. It provides arcade style gameplay and challenges us through a satisfying story mode. Hardcore fans certainly will enjoy it.

Only with great indulgence, Moto Racer 4 can be described as a mediocre arcade racer. Unfortunately, the game was one of those unpleasant moments of being a reviewer and the only ray of light is Artefact Studios to provide a series of effective balancing patches.
