If you hated Age of Decadence mainly because of its graphics, then you can safely skip Dungeon Rats. But if you enjoyed AoD's combat and you still crave for me, this spin-off will sate your appetite.

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.

This is basically the original Legends of Eisenwald with less content and at a lower price. It has only one "sandbox" map (plus the tutorial scenario), a couple of basic fractions, and minuscule amount of new gameplay elements all wrapped in a mildly interesting plot.

Visual Concepts just needs to add some spit and polish to turn this game into the best sports sim of our time.

Infinite Warfare has a lengthy list of things that should be fixed, but that being said, for the first time in many years I enjoyed playing a Call of Duty game.

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.

Despite the weak diplomacy layer and clumsy UI, Civilization 6 as a whole outshines its shortcomings.

Battlefield 1 is an exemplary multiplayer shooter and, looks like, the only decent game about World War I in the entire history of the FPS genre.

A shoddy rehash of a classic RTS whose creators tried their best to put in as little effort as possible.

But the worst innovation is weapon crafting. Right in the middle of a match. "But it's not going to work!", you'll say. You are absolutely right.

A simplified version of The Banner Saga with a couple of cool ideas and boatload of mistakes in game design.

It's a game made of contradictions, and seriously hampered by unnecessary derivative elements and a hole-ridden script.

It's more like a collection of Sherlock-themed mini-games with a AAA-range price tag, rather than a seamless experience.

Song of the Deep's first two hours can lull you into thinking that this is an awesome game: nice relaxing soundtrack, sensitive gameplay rules, a seemingly wide selection of abilities and their combinations. In reality, you'll get annoying encounters, boring boss fights, and repetitive puzzles.

A worthy heir to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It compensates for its narrative shortcomings with immersive atmosphere, top-notch combat system and flawless pace.

Five years ago, Virginia would've enjoyed a warmer welcome. Today, it's just one of the many two-hour long walking simulators.

Obduction is a good-looking, mysterious, boring, annoying, sadistic adventure game that doesn't give a damn if you're having fun or not.

A great excuse to get acquainted with the genre for those who were born after it died, and a great exercise for nostalgic thumbs.

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

Livelock's worst bane is the abundance of heavily armored enemies whose health bars take a lot of time to chew through.

A fun, varied and relaxing skyscraper sim. It can be a little bit formal at times, and there are some glaring deficiencies, but it is a welcome return to this theme nonetheless.

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.

Despite the "Can't stop the progress" tagline, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is pretty much a rehash of the previous game.

An unpretentious niche RTS designed only for those who crave that "old school" multiplayer.

Even the cooperative mode can't smooth out the many bumps of Tempest.

If you a fan of the original Space Rangers, please avoid Space Rangers: Quest like the plague. This little ugly Frankenstein monster tugs at your nostalgia strings non-stop, but the more familiar parts you recognize in its body, the worse you feel.

The biggest letdown of this Master of Orion is a complete lack of meaningful space exploration. There are too few anomalies, pirate bases and monsters in the galaxy, and everything feels empty.

An unfinished prototype of a game featuring lots of messed-up gameplay elements and too many ambitions.
