Not exactly a flawed gem but definitely an interesting attempt at an atmospheric FPS. Technical problems and sluggish combat don't let it stand out.

Gameplay-wise, Might & Magic Heroes VII is arguably the "best of the series" game its developers set out to create. However, the experience is marred by inexcusably sluggish performance at times (even in high-end systems equipped with SSDs), and also by the rather uninspiring generic fantasy setting of Ashan, that still can't measure up to the majesty that is the "original" setting of the Might and Magic universe.

Despite some rather controversial combat mechanics, Skyshine's Bedlam remains a fun and artistically beautiful roguelike experience, following in the footsteps of games like Faster Than Light.

An atmospheric adventure, bolstered by a moody soundtrack and convincing writing and direction. This one was crafted with love for genre fans.

ELEX is an old-school RPG, with all the pros and cons that come with it. Sometimes it is so crude that it's charmingly unpredictable. Beyond the few technical shortcomings, it is a fully satisfying role-playing game in an era that tends to forget the "role" part.

Even though Inquisition-Martyr does a lot of things right, the surprising technical issues and the combat gameplay, which is more superficial than it actual looks like, do not do it any favors. However, and despite the issues, it remains the best representation of the W40K universe lore in videogames.

Heavily atmospheric, this dark descent into madness and ruin, speaks directly to the heart of Lovecraft devotees. A narrative that embraces the core of true cosmic horror.

Weedcraft looks and feels like a leftover from smartphones and tablets. It has nothing to offer, even to those who want to spend some time with it out of boredom. The main idea, started as a funny way to get out of the box, regarding video games, but ended as a nightmare.

For the players who have invested heavily both time and money on a previous iteration, NBA2K21 has nothing new to offer. The new MyCareer story and the necessary roster updates would not justify a purchase at its full price. Our grade refers to the technical aspects of the game, but we are highly critical on how the series have devolved into a microtransactions Pay2Progress model.

Uncanny Valley may seem expensive at about 10 euros for a title lasting for about 6 to 7 hours, but it's so well designed that it's really worth every cent you spend.

A survivalism and class struggle epic, unfolding amidst the pines of the Russian taiga and the steel rails of the Trans-Siberian railway. A title that manages to explore a bunch of ever-relevant questions while avoiding to get preachy.

The Park offers a solid, genuinely unnerving psychological horror experience, akin to watching a well crafted thriller. Whilst it does not break new ground narratively, it will please genre fans.

Wildly inconsistent writing that comes off not as the delightful, Lynchian madness of Deadly Premonition but as a haphazard collection of "weird" cobbled together just to provoke, coupled with extremely anime-centric sensibilities, make D4's audience an extremely limited and specific one. It may look like a dark, metaphysical mystery game, but it most assuredly is not. It feels like an exercise in extremes, with no clear identity of what game it truly wishes to be.

Removing the VR "gimmick" that made the original Chronos release noteworthy back in 2016, results in an adequately fun Action-RPG that doesn't really stand out when compared to either Gunfire's Remnant: From the Ashes or to other Souls-like games currently available out there.

2024's Alone in the Dark is not on par with the Resident Evil remakes which set the bar really high to be honest and not the triumphant return we've been waiting for the legendary series. Nevertheless, it's a notable addition to it, one that if anything makes its name sound more than just a distant echo again. With a satisfying 9-hour campaign and good replayability with 2 characters with different perspectives on the story (plus some other differences I won't spoil), it's a good offering in the genre.

NBA Playgrounds is a refreshing title that provides a full arcade basketball experience. Many basketball fans will be satisfied with its massive roster and hundreds of dunks and moves, although some gameplay mechanics need re-balancing.

Players who appreciated what Tyranny has to offer will definitely enjoy Bastard's Wound, as the side content it introduces is of the highest quality and true to the standards set by its developers. Those looking for more substantial additions to the game’s main storyline, however, might find themselves a bit let down by it.

Deeply atmospheric artwork and an excellent soundtrack set the premise for a deeply personal horror experience that loses its footing when it comes to hit or miss puzzle design and stealth sections that seem to punish the player, detracting from an otherwise very strong experience.

Some shortcomings and omissions regarding its AI and overall content don't prevent The Precinct from being an excellent throwback to an older gaming era.

Despite its problems, Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire is a charming strategy game that will keep you entertained for several hours. If you like lengthy turn-based battles then you must give it a try, definitely.

Quantum Break delivers a naïve but well-meaning sci-fi yarn aimed at the adolescent crowd, coupled with solid, even if ultimately unimpressive shooting mechanics and action set-pieces. Atrocious PC port aside, Quantum Break, if thoroughly patched and developed post launch, can find it’s niche as a sci-fi guilty pleasure, but it does not live up to Remedy’s lofty heritage.

BlazeRush is one of the most exciting and addictive easy-to-learn/hard-to-master games that you can play, especially if you intend to play it with friends.

A veritable Matryoshka doll of dark delights, executed to perfection. The turn based combat completely engrosses and could have been a game on its own, but Weappy went the extra mile: they delivered one of the darkest, truest video game narratives of the year.

Amazingly presented, visually enchanting, dripping with loving psychedelia, Karma Incarnation 1 effortlessly works it’s way into your heart. Taking a page from Amanita Design’s best work, it creates its own very strong identity and takes you on a journey you are not apt to forget any time soon.

Biomutant, the first game from Experiment 101 studio is an ambitious game which does not succeed at everything it attempts to do, but in general it is a decent and fun choice-driven action/RPG.

The gorgeous soundtrack and clever use of lighting in the environments cannot conceal the fact that the game is written to accommodate only one particular playstyle, whilst offering the illusion that a different path is possible. This results in wild inconsistencies between player agency/actual gameplay and the protagonist's monologues and eventual culmination of events, making us feel like outside observers, instead of active participants. For the right, extremely limited demographic, Sunset could provide plot-related thrills but for the vast majority of players, this will feel like an exercise in style who lost it's way.

Essentially an hour-long QTE, offering up the guilty pleasure of slaughtering everything with reckless abandon as the bad-ass, post apocalyptic force of nature that is Michonne. A far shot from what made the original series unforgettable though.

A solid deck-building roguelike game that doesn't redefine the genre but still offers lots of hours of quality gameplay.
