Tides of Numenera would have made sense as a quiet, indie, choose-your-own-adventure/RPG hybrid set in a strange and fascinating world. A small, indie game for a niche audience. Usurping Torment’s sacred mantle to present a barely competent CRPG with heavy interactive novel trappings that fails to elicit any sort of emotional connection with the player or give any meaningful context to his agency or interactions with the game’s world, will not be taken lightly, or forgotten any time soon, by its backers, this writer included.

Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is a desperately moderate "western" JRPG that hardly will satisfy a devotee of the genre, and I would not suggest it to someone who is not familiar with the genre, unless its serious problems with the battle system are fixed.

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.

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.

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

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.

Police Crime Action is a game where we try to balance the duty of a police officer and his personal life. What could be an interesting idea ends up to being a buggy game with decade-old graphics.

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.

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.

Sadly the final score has to be lower than originally expected, at least until the developers can fix the issues. Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition is essentially the great PC version we've been waiting for all these years, it is priced quite reasonably and, under normal conditions, I would recommend the game wholeheartedly to fans of the series and newcomers alike, but not until all the bugs have been squashed. Until then, keep your money in your pockets.

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.

Pixel Puzzles 2: Birds resembles a DLC more than a new game. No negative aspects from previous Pixel Puzzles were resolved, while there were no further additions in the form of a mini-game like Undeadz.

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.

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.

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.

UnderDread falls victim of its humble origins as well as the negative price/duration ratio. Unfortunately the competition in the PC platform is relentless, with hordes of indie titles inundating digital stores on a weekly basis.

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.

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.

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is an outlandish, absurd, sci-fi hodgepodge that is inexplicably endearing and has its own identity. It would be an enjoyable game if not for the dismal performance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Walking miles and miles in a virtual wood is surely not the best way to spend your afternoons. What could have been an excellent simulator ended in becoming a repetitive and mindless buttonfest, without any accuracy in mushroom hunting.

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.

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.

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.
