The Long Journey Home regurgitates ideas from Out There and FTL. If you mastered those two games and desperately want more of the same, here's your fix.

Poorly written story and drab gameplay ruin the fun of playing this colorful, kind-hearted game.

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

Just like Re;Birth 1, Sisters Generation is a solid port of a budget JRPG that lacks in variety.

Blacksad is painfully derivative, but it’s not so bad as it seems at first impression. It’s a pity that this intriguing, smart, mature story with colorful characters in an unusual world will never get the attention they deserve because of numerous bugs and horrendous controls.

Turok Remastered for PS5 and Xbox Series is undoubtedly the best version of this artifact from 1997. Still, Nightdive Studios could have worked more carefully on the graphics, for example.

Another episode comes and goes, but the stale formula remains the same. It is ‘survivors of a global catastrophe fight amongst themselves’ multiplied by ‘get your hands off the mouse, we’ll play the game for you’.

The concept of Stealth Bastard is ripe for a mind-bending puzzle adventure. Alas, instead of teasing our brains, Curve Studios made a tedious exercise for training finger strength.

All in all, it’s a joke of a game, and it’s not even funny.

Maybe they should have made this story into a radio play rather than a video game?..

Mediocre graphics is a big letdown of Fairy Tail (a common flaw of many Japanese video games based on anime/manga), but it plays much better than you might assume by looking at screenshots and watching trailers.

For game that wants you to spend hundreds of hours playing it, Freedom Wars is depressingly shallow.

Freaking Meatbags excels at cynical jokes and dark humor, but no matter how amusing the dialogues are, they’re not enough to compensate for the excruciatingly dull gameplay.

As an abstract total conversion of Total War, Troy is a passable game, but it does very little to convey the atmosphere of Iliad (or that movie with Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom, for that matter).

Journey of a Roach has a couple of fresh ideas in its sleeve, but the visuals are too amateurish, and the puzzles are dull.

A lot of people were upset to find out that Shadow of War has loot boxes, and they are kind of annoying. Unfortunately, loot boxes is the least of its problems.

Weak story with forgettable characters is punctuated with cookie-cutter multiplayer modes. Vanguard is a sum of its mediocre parts.

Abyss Odyssey is akin to a raid from World of Warcraft that you have to repeat over and over again. Though there is not much incentive to do that.

FF15 looks like a huge patchwork quilt made out of dozens shoddily sewn little pieces. Sometimes you can't help but marvel at the incredible attention to detail, some ideas (like photos, for example) are a stroke of genius, but then it comes to the crux of the matter… and the hair stands up on the back of your neck.

A by the numbers turn-based tactics game, Stirring Abyss neither fills you with joy nor makes you resent it. Still, you could do much worse than spend a few evenings on the deep sea floor, especially if you’ve already had your fill of other, more impressive offerings in this genre.

Bad writing and repeating gameplay bring the overall experience down. You will be collecting shards and activating pillars from beginning to end. With a more polished concept, Unbound could have been so much better.

This remake will hardly attain a cult status – ever.

An original, but, unfortunately, repetitive and clumsy game. Even if you’re a huge fan of trains, think twice before getting this one.

Fans of WH40K board games will probably enjoy this video game. Fans of computer strategy games should probably buy Valkyria Chronicles 4 instead.

It’s an adventure equivalent of tasteless chewing gum. It works OK as filler, but you will not even remember this game a year later.

Dungeons 4 has two sides. The dungeon part of the game is good, but far from ideal, and the overworld gameplay is primitive.

If you liked the description or screenshots from Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior, better buy the original game - Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. And if you already have it, then simply move along.

Style is prevalent over substance in We. The Revolution. This dark morality tale is rife with plot holes and incongruous twists, and its epic scale only serves to pile on more shortfalls and ill-fitting gameplay mechanics.
