    Vikings: Wolves of Midgard has everything to cement its mediocrity: lots of annoying "Kill <insert_name_here>" challenges, a badly written story peppered with silly jokes, and cooperative mode that no one seems to play.

    Know by Heart could have been a nice romantic movie in the vein of Perfect Sense, free from its mediocre gameplay. Still, it is somewhat satisfying to play.

    Puzzles lack variety, and each of them is a one-shot challenge. It’s easy to arrive at a solution by simply scanning a level and launching the flock a couple of times. The execution is just a matter of careful timing.

    A potato-based space odyssey with an ever-increasing degree of frustration.

    Despite a myriad technical flaws, Swansong does have a well-crafted world (even though it pummels you with TMI at first), non-linearity, nice vibes and even an air of intrigue.

    The Yawhg is original enough to draw the attention of your guests away from Wii Sports, but if you like to read stories alone, this game is not for you.

    Even the Halo brand can’t save Spartan Strike with its short linear levels, long boring shootouts with dumb enemies and a silly story.

    The fifteen-year ordeal of Asylum's developers didn't end with a happy ending: while most of the game is praiseworthy, the final part is highly disappointing.

    Even though Shades of Darkness is light on surprises, do not miss it if you are a fan of the series and played both Heroes 5 and 6 – the campaign is packed with familiar faces.

    Whatever its original concept was, Albedo fails as both shooter and adventure.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    An original, but, unfortunately, repetitive and clumsy game. Even if you’re a huge fan of trains, think twice before getting this one.

    Stronghold Crusader 2 is hardly the worst representative of its niche sub-genre, but Firefly Studios is too stuck in the past to freshen the aging concept.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Forge is an orphan of a game, with lonely players stalking its empty servers. It is, in fact, not even a game, but just a prototype of one.

    If you’re lucky, you’ll be done with Slender in less than an hour. The game does make you feel uneasy (which every decent horror title must do), but never goes above cheap scares. Don’t waste your money on this and play the original game for free.

    The best way to experience Remember Me is to sit next to someone and watch them play this game.

    Single-player campaigns will probably entertain you with their strategic puzzles for 6-10 hours, but after that… You expect to see feature-rich multiplayer in a digital version of a board game, but, alas, it’s not the case here.

    I imagine the developers wrote the script for this episode just as they went along, because the ending is so shocking and unexpected that it could have been topped only by a giant “F U” plastered across the screen.

    The world of Cradle is huge and beautiful, but oh so ludicrously empty.

    • 65 Critic Score
    Ash of Gods, despite similar visual style, is unlike The Banner Saga. It’s a completely different game, with its own mood, ideas, features… and, unfortunately, level of quality.

    Tedious “search expeditions” accompanied by dull music and sprinkles of boring text — that is all you will ever find in InnerSpace.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    A lackluster detective story which has nothing to hook you with is not what I was expecting from Dontnod Entertainment.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    In Unrest, the player is just a spectator. The characters you play cannot change a thing about the world, and it is incredibly disappointing.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    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.

    Thunder Tier One has one very steep requirement if you want to enjoy it — it’s almost impossible to play it with random strangers. Find a good group, and the game will flourish.

    • 47 Critic Score
    A good original concept turned into a surprisingly boring adventure with a paper-thin plot and simplistic puzzles.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    A completely derivative, mouldy, boring hack job created by a once renowned studio. Looks like the hero of Risen 3 is not the only one who lost his soul.

    Playing The Casting of Frank Stone is like watching a mediocre horror movie. You can only have some fun if you're in the right mood.

    This is a game for hardcore Star Trek fans who are not afraid of grand strategies and don't know how to play Stellaris with mods.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Journey of a Roach has a couple of fresh ideas in its sleeve, but the visuals are too amateurish, and the puzzles are dull.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Introversion Software’s DEFCON is cheaper and way better than this one.
