Even though a glimmer of an intriguing concept lies at its design core and I don't doubt that the lads at Epiphany Games have the finest of intentions, this is neither The Secret World, nor Hotline Miami. The stealth and combat are simply atrocious when attempted with PC controls, and a host of bugs will often break the more interesting parts of the game. The excellent soundtrack and the sheer manic glee with which the developers tried to include every conspiracy theory ever pondered in two and a half hours of gameplay is admirable but Majestic Nights has a long way to go before it can even be considered for cult stardom.

I really wanted to like the game and play it again and again, but once I tried all the characters and finished it, I had no desire to start anew. Maybe, if you have good company and try the co-op mode, you might find it interesting for a while, but nothing more.

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.

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.

Even though Remothered: Broken Porcelain is an improved sequel, it is vitiated by a plethora of bugs and technical issues. At least it is somewhat comforting that the developers have been applying updates regularly, so the game may one day reach the refined state it should have been in the first place.

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.

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.

Crimson Room: Decade is a Room Escape Game which will provide you with a lot of memories. Unfortunately, its short duration, the mediocre visuals and its story may prove limiting factors to its success.

I really wanted to love Blacksad. The noir story is quite compelling, being in the spirit of comic books. Alas, not so compelling as to overlook the severe technical issues which fester the title. This is a game that would have been better if it had been delayed a little further. Wait for much needed patches before trying it out.

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

Better late than DEAD is a survival adventure, taking place in an original and initially interesting tropical backdrop. However, technical issues, limited content and an almost lifeless virtual world mar the overall impression soon enough.

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

We had all the good mood to have fun with Project Root. Unfortunately, the game is unfair and it tries to be challenging in all the wrong ways. At least, there are some good efforts in terms of graphics and sound, but the gameplay generally can lead you easily to frustration. If the developers tweak the difficulty level through patches, Project Root may have better luck.

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.

A truly inspired and horrific depiction of Hell, attempting to prop up a mechanically nonexistent survival/horror early prototype for a game. Even the toughest of pentacle carving black metal fans will have a hard time pretending that they actually enjoyed and ‘got’ Agony.

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.

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.

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.

A tremendous wasted opportunity to associate Neil Gaiman's name with a video game truly worth of his reputation, Wayward Manor is a game without an audience. Gaiman fans will be put off by the lack of a script or any sort of engaging storyline and puzzle/casual/mobile fans have a lot more, far more polished options offered at a fraction of the price.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately I did not find anything interesting in this first chapter of AR-K, bearing in mind that the whole sphere thing is kept for the next parts of the game. It has very serious flaws, with the biggest ones being its irritating and illogical puzzles and the tremendously brief length.

Super Seducer can only be seen as a relic of a thankfully bygone era and may only crack a smile with its cult vibe. The whole PUA idea has already been criticized and no-one is expected to take it seriously. Other than that it's a sort of visual novel with linear progression that glorifies the quantification of flirting and the conditioning of people to Pavlovian techniques.

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.

It is sad to see such a great chance go to waste. What could otherwise have been a crowning achievement in the zombie survival genre, is basically a re-hash of the same ol' we already got two years ago with a few updated bits here and there. If you're an owner of the original SoD and its DLC's, there's no justifiable reason to get this version. If you aren't, however, do yourself a favour and get it. Yesterday.

Do not be fooled by the beautiful, comic book style, approach of the presentation. Liberated is a very frustrating game that in the three hours it last, it will make you bored, even annoyed with both the gameplay mechanisms and the handling of its concept.

A clever idea that has you managing a pro gamer or a pro gaming team. Unfortunately, everything in the game is completely random so any notion of strategy quickly disappears and the game becomes monotonous and repetitive.
