This Jagged Alliance is bad, but not to the point that it incites rage. Play, uninstall and forget. It’s not rage, more like… apathy.

If you want to see Anthem’s lush jungle and glistening Javelins, do it right away — this game is losing audience fast, and there’s almost nothing to do after the campaign ends. Or check it out on YouTube to save yourself some nerves and money.

Aside from (mostly useless) experiments with weaponry, The Weaponographist has nothing going for it.

God Mode feels like a free-to-play game that somehow got released without a trace of microtransactions. If you want to kill tons of monsters in co-op, better get Serious Sam 3: BFE.

1954: Alcatraz is the worst game ever produced by Daedalic Entertainment. Thankfully, unlike professional video games reviewers, you can simply ignore this nightmare.

Shelter 2 is pretty much a happening like the first game, but this time around, it is a mature work of art that has a clear idea at its core.

Kyn seems colorful and promising at first, but in reality it’s unbalanced, derivative and downright boring.

Exploration games are usually a relaxing experience, but this one will likely bore you to death.

A great tactics game locked in a shell of a shoddy RPG.

The moment when Space Hulk loses its charm, is two to three missions in, when you suddenly realize that you’ve already seen everything this game has to offer.

There Came an Echo is hardly a full-fledged commercial game. It is more like a cool 3-4-hour proof of concept which shows you that yes, you can make a good strategy game fully controlled by voice.

Another embarrassment in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. I'm now inclined to think that "the Fire Warrior curse" is a real thing.

Some things must not be mixed under any circumstances, like vodka and soda or pickled herrings and milk. This rule holds true for CCGs and tower defense. Get ready to waste hours of your time playing through the same-looking levels, so you can get a slightly more powerful card.

Team Indie tries and fails at creating a coherent world for its borrowed characters. It just asks for comparisons to all these other games, and none of them works in its favor. Brightside Games could not digest so many original titles at once.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a weak remaster of a strange and fun game. Now there's no chance that there will be a sequel.

If you try to skip the introductory vanity cards at launch by pressing any key, the game immediately crashes to Windows. As if it is trying to tell you, “Why are you in such a rush? Hey, cool it down and think. There is no fun for you here”.

Neither Omega Force, nor the series were ready to handle so many changes at once. Dynasty Warriors 9 disappoints wherever you look, from performance issues and dumb stealth to ugly cinematics and boring open world.

Right now, Little Misfortune is at the top of my personal list of bitter disappointments of 2019. I would have overlooked many of its flaws, if it were just a pilot episode in a series. Alas, this is a finished product.

The developers should have prioritized quality over quantity, and dumped the second campaign along with a useless global map. As it stands now, Numantia will disappoint even fans of ancient civilizations.

Armikrog copies and pastes itself several times during the game. 25% of content is original, the rest is just repetitions. You will see identical rooms, chains of actions and even puzzles.

The developers should stick to what they do best – make more desktop wallpapers.

25 mostly similar levels will not keep you entertained for long. Jet Car Stunts lacks thrill, and that is its biggest flaw.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 reminds of a time when ‘based on a movie’ was the quickest way to describe and berate a game in the same sentence.

Boredom, not ghosts, is your worst enemy in Knock-knock.

An attempt to pass a mediocre platformer as a work of art that has a deep meaning.

Oceans of Time is intriguing at first, but quickly overwhelms with a staggering amount of repeating, dull hassle. And that’s all there is to do, unless you want to count how many tired sci-fi tropes were crammed into this game.

Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics has the most primitive levels I have ever seen in a turn-based strategy game, coupled with an equally primitive AI. Combat system has quite a few fine ideas, though, but they're not worth it to suffer through 10 hours of identical gameplay situations.

The more I wandered around the haunted mansion, the more I realized that Perception is a one-feature game, and that feature is poorly implemented.

Space engineers are trending in horror games, but you'd be better off spending your time with Amanda Ripley from Alien: Isolation or Isaac Clarke from the Dead Space series.

Despite quite a few flaws, I enjoyed my time with Icy. It is weak as a game, but it knows how to tell a good story.

Don’t waste your time on Bound by Flame, even if you’re craving for a new fantasy RPG.

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded is a shameless game, but, alas, not in the sense that you’ve been expecting.

It feels as if Meridian: Squad 22 was made only to disappear in the vast sea of mediocre indie games.

The developers split DreadOut into two parts, and the first half is frustratingly short. It will take you 2-3 hours tops, and that’s only because the game sometimes forgets to tell you when an interactive object is nearby, forcing you to run in circles looking for it.

Wherever you go in Warhammer Quest, you will find nothing but repetitive dungeons and battles. The original board game was fun because you played it with live people, and it simply doesn’t work as a pure single-player experience.

It’s not a fully developed tower defense game, but a sketch, almost devoid of tactical possibilities and balance.

Walking around Philadelphia, you may stumble upon a place where some madman was conducting sadistic experiments of people, or an old man's house packed to the rafters with traps, and you realize that the developers of Homefront: The Revolution do have talent. Unfortunately, instead of an original game, they produced a ho-hum FPS that tries to please everyone but falls flat in execution.

Fan support and unlimited creative freedom gave birth to a monster. If Moebius were a debut by some unknown studio, I would have simply sniffed at it in disdain. But the knowledge that this wretched thing was produced by a lauded veteran of the industry fills my heart with primordial horror.

A dumb addition to a dumb TV show.

Disharmony is the next step in the development of Endless Space. It is not big even if you count new research options, heroes and buildings, but still, you’ll get a lot of nice stuff for your 10 bucks.

Even if you still remember the ending of the original SpellForce 2, think twice before buying this expansion.

Using The Phantom Pain’s engine, its models, animations and other assets, Metal Gear Survive looks like a shoddy fan modification.

Inspired by the great adventures and platformers of the last decade, The Great Perhaps doesn’t have even an ounce of their charm and magic.

For every bright spot there is a dozen of poor design choices, and don’t get me started on bugs — InSomnia needs a separate review just for them.

The only thing worthy of praise in Riot is the idea itself, but, as every sober-minded revolutionary knows, you won’t get far with just an idea.

I think no one would have shed a tear if Microsoft quietly canceled this pointless game instead of seeing to completion.

Breached feels like a demo version rather than a full-fledged game.

No matter which side wins, Parsis or Forsaken, people who bought E.T. Armies will lose.

The creators of Hybrid Wars claim that they were inspired by classic isometric twin-stick shooters from the 90s. I wonder what games they were inspired by, because Hybrid Wars is nothing like the good old games from that decade.

Son of Nor is an unpleasant nostalgic romp which brings memories of shoddy games made at the turn of the century. Level and gameplay design, camera movements, graphics… There is not much to see or to do here.

Moral dilemmas do not mesh well with low-brow humor, while the game’s Souls-like approach is hampered by poorly implemented combat. The Last Oricru might entertain you… but will not excite.

Tidy, but styleless visuals are the final insult. This game looks just as bland as it plays. It is neither good or bad, it just exists. It is hard to believe that this was made by the people who brought us Tropico 3 and 4.

It’s not a sequel – just 5 new maps for the original NZA.

Utterly devoid of any semblance of charm, Detective Hayseed is nowhere near the level of classic adventure games.

Foreclosed is short, yet it still manages to outstay its welcome long before you run into one of the two abrupt endings and leave the game without an ounce of satisfaction.

For a horror game, Phantaruk is not scary at all. The persistent monster can kill you in seconds, but it's more annoying than frightening. The same goes for the timer - thanks to the game's linear structure, you always know the next life-saving syringe is just around the corner. Zombified test subjects are so badly animated that you can't help but laugh while trying to avoid them.

It will take you around 6 hours to beat Shadwen, but I suggest you avoid it altogether. This game is not worth your time.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is an old game for fans, slightly improved on the occasion of its release on modern platforms. But even fans will need a certain amount of patience and understanding to make it through to the finale.

I wonder what horrors await me in Dead Effect 3, and I mean it not in a good way because this game fails as first-person shooter.

A tedious tomb raiding adventure starring an Indiana Jones parody.

You know that a cooperative game is stillborn when you spend several minutes looking for random players to team up with even on a launch week. Probably because it’s one of the worst D&D games in ages.

A pale imitation of a once awesome game.

Avoid Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 at all costs – it will destroy your mental balance with a single shot.

Just like its zombies, Escape Dead Island is dull and predictable, but it does have a few moments of clarity. Overall, it’s just awful, both as part of the franchise and a stand-alone game.

All-too similar playable factions is just one of letdowns of Worlds of Magic. Building and expanding a fantasy empire feels like a chore.

Lords of Football comes to live in the rare moments when your front man scores a goal at the last second thanks to your timely instructions. The rest of it is sheer boredom without licensed teams and any depth at all.

There is no way Miner Wars 2081 is a modern reincarnation of the Descent series. It is a flawed, incomplete product that somehow was approved in Steam Greenlight.

Mighty No. 9 has its moments, but they're all hidden behind piles of illogical traps, and even the lowest difficulty setting here is hardcore.

It's sloppy and boring wherever you look. Fallout 76 feels like a mishmash of half-baked ideas rather than a proper MMORPG with a decent story and exciting challenges for both lone wolves and groups.

I should also point out unpleasant visuals, crappy voice-over work, horrendous pathfinding and sloppy UI, but it all simply adds injury to the insult, since, first and foremost, JA: Flashback fails as a tactical strategy game.

As much as CI Games wants to re-brand itself as a triple-A development studio that produces only blockbuster games, the final result is all too familiar. Enemy Front looks better, sounds better, but it’s still boring as hell.

Jake Keane 2 is crude and clumsy, as if the developers did not want to make this game at all, but someone forced them to.

A sloppy sequel to a great game marred with decade-old problems.

Monopoly with monsters – what can be better than that? Well, turns out, pretty much everything else.

It seems the developers were hard pressed to release the game before the movie's premiere. This kind of rush never ends well.

Three hours in, and Generation Zero is running on fumes. It will take you 30 hours to get to the end of this story, but what's the point? This game is just as dead as everyone in the alt-dimensional Sweden.

It’s so sad that Daylight became the first commercial product based on Unreal Engine 4. You can’t find worse publicity for Epic’s new tech than this.

An ugly-looking, tedious, monotonous, incredibly empty game. I see no reason to shell out for it, when you can get Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires or Samurai Warriors 4: Empires.

This game is a curious artifact of a bygone era. It's not terrible, but the story behind its development is far more interesting than the gameplay.

For a game billed as “A Space Trading Adventure”, Cosmonautica is too darn easy. It took me just one hour to amass enough fortune to roll in the dough for the rest of the game. And it’s all thanks to a dumb, single-cell economic model.

Tryst shows no originality in both story and gameplay. All that it has to offer was made by Blizzard 14 years ago.

Empty and lifeless - these two words describe everything that there is in Krai Mira.

Everywhere you look, Light is a sloppy, unfinished game. Next time I’ll think twice before voting for games in Steam Greenlight – who knows, maybe that short stylish trailer is actually the entire game!

Ace of Spades has all the components of a decent multiplayer shooter: stylish graphics, gameplay inspired by Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty, destructible environments… But the sum of these parts feels like a bad parody of popular games.

Double Fine overestimated its abilities and failed to produce a proper management strategy game. Remember Spacebase DF-9 every time before buying anything in Steam Early Access. Even a big name is not a guarantee that a game will be actually finished.

A half-baked game with an interesting concept.

There is no need to be creative when killing enemies in Lucius 2 — the game is inhabited by certified idiots.

Despite the lack of decent hockey sims on PC, there's little reason to buy Old Time Hockey right now as it's a bouquet of bad game design decisions and technical problems.

The makers of Solarix wanted to follow in the footsteps of System Shock 2 and Dead Space, but the result is just awful.

Submerged is just not worth two hours of your life.

I wish there were fewer bugs, bigger worlds and smarter puzzles.

A collection of horrendously bad mini-games, hastily glued together by an asinine story.

Inmates probably seemed intriguing as a concept, but it’s just downright bad as a game.

Impire got old even before it came out, and its dated visuals are not the only problem. As someone who played Dwarf Fortress a lot, I can get used to poor quality graphics, but drab gameplay, forced jokes, buggy multiplayer and complete lack of fresh ideas will be the downfall of Impire.

Just like Hotline Miami, LA Cops also requires planning, excellent reflexes and never forgives a mistake. But here, you also have to babysit a stupid AI partner, wage war against an unwieldy camera, trying to rotate it to see an enemy in time, and deal with hordes of dumb, but sturdy, speedy criminals. Scary, right?

This anemic game is not worthy of the amazing TV show it is based on.

Sometimes a Hollywood studio tries to make a blockbuster, but the end result is so dumb and pathetic that you can’t stop chuckling while watching it. Aliens: Colonial Marines is a game equivalent of that kind of failure. So do yourself a favor – wait until it hits $4,99 on Steam (oh, it will!), buy it, gather your friends, and get ready to laugh for four hours straight.

The credits promise that «Bombshell will return». Please don’t.
