Beautifully stylized visuals, solid writing that actually makes you care about your band of misfit survivors and genuine choice & consequence gameplay that rewards multiple playthroughs and experimentation, make Dyscourse a thoroughly enjoyable adventure.

A nice action/RPG in a cyberpunk background, with a beautiful and unique personality, but with a plot that falls short.

A competent, well-made stealth game that can offer quite a few fun gameplay hours. Unfortunately, the transition from the RPG stylings of Of Orcs And Men to stealth caused the game to lose some of its special atmosphere and charm, mainly due to the lack of banter and dialogue between the two unlikely protagonists of the previous game. Still, if you're looking for a quality stealth game Styx: Master of Shadows is well worth the money.

Hotshot Racing feels like a product made with passion, which at the same time manages to entertain the player and to create pleasant memories from a more "innocent" era that has passed irrevocably. The limited content and the not so interesting alternative modes deduct some points from the final rating, something that can be corrected in the future with the appropriate support from the developers.

In a period lagging from enough quality adventure games, Mutropolis is pleasant surprise. This is an enjoyable adventure and a first- class debut for Pirita Studio.

Even though the areas feel somewhat detached from one another and the story doesn't advance as much as we'd like, Episode 3 is on par with the previous parts and leaves us craving for more.

Mistakes on established systems and minor oversights significantly reduce the experience of a decent effort.

Old-school Bard's Tale is back but, ironically enough, it could have used a bit more time in the oven. Still, the combination of intricate puzzles, exploration and satisfying turn-based combat will certainly appeal to fans of the genre.

Shadow Warrior 3 isn't the next "big" FPS we might have been expecting, but it's a quality work from a team that knows how to deliver a good shooter to its audience. Fans of the genre shouldn't miss it, and for those looking for a strong action-packed "dose", the game is a worthwhile proposition.

Rebels represents an absolute high water mark for video game writing and episodic gaming in particular. It expands in every possible way upon Reborn, maintaining unparalleled storytelling, presentation and voice-acting, whilst introducing very well crafted puzzles, an epic sense of scale and technical improvements across the board. If Chapters continues in this vein, it is destined for greatness.

The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians offers an innovative hybrid battle system and dozens of hours of exploration in well designed and dark dungeons. A must-buy old school RPG.

If you are thirsty for an interesting Metroidvania game, Song of the Deep is a good choice, which will keep you busy for at least seven to eight hours. It does not fit to the "elite" category, but it is a fair proposal, undoubtedly worth the asking price.

The presentation remains solid throughout and will appeal to newcomers to the franchise but long time fans will find themselves in all-too familiar ground. Telltale needs to turn auto pilot off and focus on advancing the genre it helped re-invent if they wish to remain a relevant studio going forward.

Battlefield: Hardline would have fared better if it didn't have to "lift" the heavy title of the Battlefield series. If you are looking for a fun pick-up-and-play multiplayer shooter, look no further. Hardline is a satisfying, over-the-top multiplayer experience. If, on the other hand, you are in for a Battlefield game, look back on previous Battlefield releases. Hardline is not Battlefield.

The apparent willingness from the development team to invest emotion and drama in the game's plot, combined with various, interesting, characters give us a nice start for an interactive storytelling game whose biggest drawback is the complete lack of voice overs. At this point, the choices we make do not lead to serious differentiation of events, but that's something many games of this relatively new category suffer from.

State of Decay, besides its flaws, is among the few good efforts of conveying a zombie apocalypse to the PC.With its interesting character progression and base building mechanics, along with the generous content of the DLC's, it is a good bang for the buck for the people who are fond of slaughtering decaying humanoids.

Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town is a great adventure, worth playing for the fans of the genre, even though they will likely need just a few hours to reach to the end credits. We just hope that Willy's adventures will continue.

A decent, fun and with some solid ideas beat' em up game, which could be better if some gameplay balancing issues were avoided.

Trek to Yomi is a game you should try at some point, no matter what kind of game you prefer. It may not impress with its combat system and linear gameplay structure, but both its flawless cinematics and unparalleled atmosphere are enough to make it memorable.

A remaster that doesn't add much to the Syberia legend, despite its visual upgrade. It may be impressively beautiful at times, but due to its sloppy implementation and the dubious quality of the changes made to appeal to a younger audience, as a whole it fails to reach the level of the title we played in 2002.

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes may not have the deepest gameplay mechanics or thrilling combat, but its meticulous artistry and foreboding sense of dread will keep you engaged throughout its campaign.

An idea that does not overstay its welcome, enhanced by a great narrative and truly remarkable art direction. Be on the lookout for future publications by Cavalier Games and Tequila Works.

Aragami is one of the best stealth games we've seen lately, which will satisfy fans of the genre. However just be prepared to spend some quite hard times with some more "action" moments.

The combined elements of Act of War and C&C:Generals make for true old-school multiplayer mayhem, albeit with a lackluster single player campaign and a few issues here and there. Furthermore, the fact that Eugen Systems is genuinely and actively listening to the community feedback, leads us to expect great things. Long live the old-school RTS renaissance.

The Sinking City's unique blend of Detective gameplay and Cthulhu Mythos elements will intrigue fans of H.P. Lovecraft's works, even if certain shortcomings ultimately prevent it from truly standing out as the best Cthulhu game ever made.

Winters' Expansion offers a few more hours of entertainment to Resident Evil Village fans. Shadows of Rose is a good addition to the main story and The Mercenaries mini-game has its best iteration in years. Unfortunately, a mediocre implementation of the 3rd person mode and the steep price of admission, detract from its overall value.

A heartfelt, if not groundbreaking tribute to the King’s Quest games of yore, The Order Of The Thorne successfully honors its inspirations but has yet to prove if it can firmly stand on its own as a solid adventure game proposition of our times.

A charming premise and tongue-in-cheek exploitation writing, stumble on frustrating bugs and repetitive gameplay mechanics. There is value here for the dedicated 80’s exploitation cop film buffs but the kinks will have to be ironed out to make this game worth recommending to a broader public.

Sniper Elite III is clearly the best game in the series. Rebellion managed to correct some of the previous games' glaring mistakes and improve on its already compelling game mechanics. The only thing keeping it from achieving a higher score is a lack of focus in the story department and a couple of relatively minor flaws. Otherwise, highly recommended to both fans of the series and newcomers alike.

The strongest episode in a mini-series that feels much like Fear The Walking Dead. It will tide over hardcore fans but ultimately, despite its top notch production values, it fails to create the palpable tension and soul-clenching misery that is the franchise’s hallmark.

Assassin's Creed: Unity is maybe one of the best games of the series, but the unacceptable (for an AAA game) technical issues and the low performance even on high-end systems make it difficult to suggest someone buy at full price.

I would recommend Harold only to those people who love trial and error games, have nerves of steel and are fond of testing them. They are probably the ones who will find the game fun and interesting.

Layers of Fear 2 narrates an unnerving and dramatic story about the struggle of the actor to attain the perfect character on a path strewn with abhorrently masked imperfections. It may not be the scariest game ever made, but it's certainly one of the most introspective.

I Am Setsuna is a likeable JRPG, which can be compared to the tribute acts. They can seamlessly play the classic compositions of the band they love, but they are never as good as the originals.

Dead Rising 3 is a remarkable game, capable of bringing a lot of fun to fans of open-world games and zombies. Unfortunately the modest technical area and the poor performance even on high-end computers, may be a let off to a lot of gamers who would like to try it.

Arkham Knight is the latest, most improved and seemingly last installment in the Arkham series. The whole, justified controversy over its failed launch on PC doesn't do this excellent game justice. We would urge any gamer to refrain from purchasing this game (retail), as there are massive performance issues, which are currently being worked on. For the time being, although the story and gameplay mechanics are splendid, we are forced to cap our rating up to 30. Just like the game's framerate.

Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan is a rough-gem: although a little unpolished, it leaves a rare sense of a unique game, while it reflects to the player all the passion of its creators for it.

Unexpectedly difficult and demanding, Darksiders III will test your patience and challenge your skills, but it will reward you if you spend the time it deserves.

Having as its focal point a topic that will never cease to preoccupy humanity, boasting ideal scaling of the plot and being equipped with one of the best characters' roster that a representative of adventure games can present, it makes us already expect the first announcement regarding the beginning of its sequel's production.

Even though it would have certainly benefited from being a bit more open-ended as far as its main plot is concerned, Coteries of New York is still a remarkably fun visual novel based on the 5th Edition Vampire Rulebook, that should serve as an adequate appetizer ahead of the "main course" set to arrive in 2020.

An honest, heart-on-its-sleeve tribute to the Quest for Glory games of yore. It does not reinvent the wheel, nor does it aspire to. A pleasantly nostalgic return to gaming's most romantic era.

At first glance, ATOM might play out like the "Russian Fallout" it appears to be gameplay-wise, but its many layers contain so much more than just a tribute. Fans of old-school RPGs (as well as Soviet nostalgists) will certainly enjoy every single hour (and Ruble) they spend on it.

Sengoku period aficionados will cherish the game, dedicating several hours trying to control Edo. Simple fans of strategy will also like it, but its limited scope might keep them engaged for a shorter period. In any case, Nobunaga's Ambition - Sphere of Influence is a remarkable effort, worthy of its pedigree.

Tech Support: Error Unknown features a mix of Papers Please! gameplay mechanics and Orwell gameplay and mechanics. It does not innovate but it manages to convey the angst of working as IT support, especially for an evil mega-corp.

Decent story and a well-crafted plot, but plagued by many bugs and glitches, with some polish, Beyond A Steel Sky could be a much superior experience.

Verdun is a game for all those WWI aficionados out there, or for fans of historic FPS that for whatever reason are not covered by Red Orchestra 2. For the rest, there are better options available.

More than the sum of its parts. Dark. A favorite forgotten bedtime story from Hell. Beautiful in the intricacy of it's world. The single greatest indie adventure game surprise of 2015.

Interesting and really promising start. What "Slap Village" is now required to do during its two remaining chapters, is to evolve from a very nice to a great adventure game in whole.

Blackwood Crossing was created with a lot of passion and love, both for storytelling and for creating a magical 3D world. It falls short on providing meaningful player participation, depriving a video game of a most vital aspect, gameplay.

Halo Wars 2 is a decent title for newcomers to the RTS genre, who will be the ones that will mostly enjoy the game, especially in the innovative and fast-paced Blitz mode.

In a bold move, Team Meat has stirred the successful recipe of Super Meat Boy and has delivered a runner-type game in its sequel; SMBF. The procedural level generation algorithm seems to work wonders and the new art-style is modernizes the game. Very interesting ideas in the gameplay mechanics, and increased difficulty promise to keep you engaged for as long as you want to hone your skills. It never ends.

The lack of any real upgrades to its visuals or gameplay unfortunately make Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning the same soup, just reheated. At least the overall experience is still the same as in the original release back in 2012.

Road Redemption's flaws seem irrelevant next to the raw amusement it offers. From its rogue-like campaign to its online or split-screen multiplayer, it is an incredibly successful spiritual successor to Road Rash and a worthy remastering of that carefree 90s Arcade gameplay.

Despite its problems with teammate AI, unfair difficulty spikes and the lack of online co-op, Mother Russia Bleeds is a worthy representative of the "retro" beat' em ups. The fast and addictive gameplay, the robust sense of blows and the deep combat system will delight the fans of the genre.

If you love 60’s rock and roll culture, Wailing Heights’ wicked funny script will have you in stitches despite some obvious rough budget edges in production. There’s a fierce soul kicking in this one and the gorgeous artwork and inspired, wacky soundtrack more than make up for its mechanical shortcomings.

An interesting premise with some really good ideas in an exceptionally deep and well-designed world, which ultimately feels lacking both as an adventure/RPG and as a “Disco Clone”.

A brilliantly climactic finale that also sees Telltale taking a bold step forward in terms of gameplay by offering a substantially different playing experience dependent on player choice. If this is a foreshadowing of things to come, Telltale is bound to remain firmly upon the interactive movie throne.

Pathologic 2 is a weird and unique experience, besmeared by some optimization and balance issues. Its narrative, story, and atmosphere are suffocating under the weight of its mechanics and I'm pretty sure that heavy reliance on meta-gaming to avoid hitting a roadblock wasn't something its creators intended.

If you are keen of testing your patience and push the boundaries of your reflexes, Shadow Blade: Reload is a great choice. However, if chasing high-scores is not your thing, then the game has a few things to offer.

The Sims 4 is a weird encounter, it feels upgraded but at the same time it feels chopped down in favor of future DLCs. No doubt the loyal fans will enjoy the new member in the Sim family but some more hardcore players will feel that they are moving a step back and not a step back to prepare for a leap.

A fun and absolutely gorgeous co-op FPS with a rather lackluster story and single-player mode. Nevertheless, a solid choice for anyone looking for some quality co-op action.

A worthy sequel to Deliver Us The Moon and a genuinely atmospheric experience. Some technical problems are not enough to tarnish the very positive overall impression.

Whilst the expected Telltale polish is ever-present in this short episode, Michonne’s indestructability coupled with the fact that we don’t really get to care about any of the new characters appearing, make this offering something aimed strictly at the Walking Dead’s hardcore fan base.

A delightfully tongue in cheek death cult simulator, whose excellent aesthetics stumble over a very high randomness factor. Each new game relies more on blind luck than strategy in its early stages, painfully taking you out of the “Our Fish Lord Cometh” fantasy and reminding you of the underlying mechanical structure. Still, quite a refreshing “shot” in between more demanding games.

Essentially a board game with deeper game mechanics and an enjoyable plot, Here Be Dragons is sure to pose a serious challenge to those who will make the mistake of underestimating its difficulty.

Microsoft delivered a solid remake of a classic old title. Nostalgic for the old ones and a great history lesson for the newer, this is exactly what gamers need while waiting for Age of Empires IV. Legends never die...

The difference between a seminal and successful game and a game that ended up in no man's land between genres, is player attraction and retention. By marrying MOBA with FPS, Battleborn attempts to tap on both audiences yet it runs the danger to prove itself too much of a shooter for the MOBA diehards and too much of a MOBA for the FPS crowd.

Abyss Odyssey is a pretty interesting adventure, worth trying if you like "mild" roguelike games with focus on the fighting element, but it needed a little tweaking to its gameplay mechanisms in order to qualify as a pure diamond.

99Vidas undoubtedly is a worthwhile suggestion for fans of the genre, that are willing to fully endorse the loveable retro character of the game.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap brings a breath of fresh air that has been absent from the series in recent years. With better optimization and more content in the form of new Warmages, traps, maps and modes it could easily become one of the best entries in the series.

Rainbow Six Extraction really is what its description says it is. A stealth shooter spin-off of Siege. Although it's played comfortably solo or with random players online however the experience takes off when the party is planned, and team tactics can be unfolded in really many alternative ways. It may suffer in the variety aspect, both in enemies and mission design, but given the different approaches depending on the operator and the random distribution of objectives it's sure to keep even the least relevant to the genre glued for several hours.

Ghost Recon Wildlands does not really innovate. However, it offers enjoyable tactical stealth gameplay set in an impressive, vast world, and provides a fun, memorable and rewarding experience in both co-op and solo playthroughs. Main missions are well-designed and offer great variety and challenge, and although the story is rather predictable, it has great presentation and ample amounts of information to support it. It is, in its core, a true Tom Clancy title and worthy successor to the Ghost Recon series.

Magicka 2 is essentially how the original game should have been. While Pieces Interactive's work is commendable, there isn't any truly new or innovative content compared to the original Magicka. Players who have played the first game, should wait for the inevitable DLC content, if they are looking for something new."

The arrival of Maiden of Black Water makes for a major addition to the PC horror games catalogue. The use of the camera in dealing with tortured spirits and the blend of fiction and folklore from Japan is delightful. The slow pace of the plot and repetition of areas, however, make Maiden of Black Water less scary and memorable than we would have liked.

Desync despite being hard, has its fair share of enjoyment and good moments. If you are a seasoned fps player, honed skills and all, and you are willing to overlook some frustrating implementation of mechanics, it's worth giving it a try.

Beautiful, distinct while superficial with some serious shortcomings compared to Planet Coaster. It may glitter but it is not gold…

Kao The Kangaroo is an enjoyable and fun platformer, whose low difficulty level combined with its short duration is a hindrance to its potential to be placed alongside top titles like Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet & Clank. However, its overall quality is high enough to make it undoubtedly a worthy recommendation for platformer fans.

The changes in gameplay are welcome and the super-defenders need a bit more effort to beat, but overall the changes are minimal. We have again the same "last-gen" version of Fox Engine, while the console counterparts enjoy upgraded visuals. With this installment of PES, KONAMI makes a clear statement that it doesn't care about the PC community.

Shenmue III is full of heart, but it's geared towards a very limited audience that doesn't mind playing a 2019 game with outdated and tiresome game mechanisms. Newcomers, however, will find very few things to keep them interested.

Oblitus is a unique game. If you seek an easy and relaxed platform game then you should probably look elsewhere. Those, however, who enjoy video games with exploration and challenges, then Oblitus is certainly a little gem to add to your collection.

The return to Zenozoik will please gamers looking for something different from the ordinary in terms of atmosphere, visuals, and overall vibe. The gameplay, however, has issues that, on occasion, can prove to be frustrating.

Moons of Madness may be the best implementation of traditional puzzle-solving we've seen so far in an interactive narrative experience, in a setting that skillfully merges unearthly horrors with more "tangible" science fiction.

State of Decay 2 is enough of an improvement upon the first game of the series so as to appeal to its core fans, but we'll probably have to wait for future DLC in order to see more innovative additions to its gameplay.

In theory this game should appeal to everybody, causing emotion, but falls short on that. The reason why it fails to stand out is that it gives a sense of haste in completing and offers very fragmentary moments of the life of Will, with superficial and one-sided coverage of events that shaped the character and marked the soul of the deceased protagonist.

The imperative "farming" of levels and the frustratingly sensitive controls deprive Tembo The Badass Elephant from being declared as an instant-classic.

A ten hour journey to our near future, featuring an aesthetically pleasing art style and a very human drama that successfully lands the philosophical questions of being and wonders about the limits of what is human and what existence is. Not a traditional adventure but a well-directed cyberpunk experience.

Miasma Chronicles has interesting ideas and great ambition but it could do with a bit more attention to detail.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is not trying to prove anything and offers generously fun to the fullest. It has beautiful girls, lots of action, quick battles... what else can you ask for?

Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite's primary goal is for the player to have fun with it, allowing him to do many and fancy things with a little bit of effort, but also has the depth for anyone who decides to look under the hood.

Beautifully drawn, with simple yet satisfying puzzling at its core and heart and soul to spare. This moving allegory on the atrocities of war and the power of friendship, will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.

The return of the spin-off franchise is unfortunately not a triumphant one. Impressive technically especially in animation, but with borderline non-existent gameplay and an uneven story, it fails to deliver an overall strong experience.

A true old school platformer with a lot of trial and error and many "cheap" deaths. Gamers who have the patience to deal with this will enjoy the story and some moments of good level designing.

An enchanting fairy tale, which nevertheless "suffers" from its clumsy controls and controversial approach to the action part of the game.

Despite its drawbacks, Shadowgate manages to maintain the aura and evocative atmosphere of the original game. The old-school style of the game is more than obvious and will be appreciated mostly by the fans of the series.

Night Call provides some compelling everyday stories wrapped under a neo-noir narrative game. At the end of the day (no pun intended), it succeeds in showcasing the everyday life heroes (however big or small) of a large city and their concerns.

Bear With Me is a nice and quite promising adventure, but Episode 1 should be at least twice as long in order to justify its existence as a episodic adventure and not a demo. Although the asking price is relative low, the coming episodes must include much more content.

Agents of mayhem is a game that can appeal to gamers fan of shooters and open-world games, but the uninspired design choices and the repetitive gameplay turn it into a moderate-rewarding game, ideal for discount periods.

Significant improvements but also unexpected setbacks describe this year's edition of Football Manager. Wait for a few patches before buying.
