A single-player campaign of Battlefront 2, however bad it is, is not a party pooper by itself. But when you add luck-based demoralizing character upgrades, paltry rewards, not-so-subtle hints at a “pay to win” system, and a bunch of annoying bugs, you will have to muster all your love of Star Wars just to endure this game.

Veterans of the genre and fans of the original board game will probably enjoy this adaptation. Everyone else will deem it too uncomely and dull.

A beautiful nightmare, cozy and purple like A-minor. It's definitely the best Kafka-based game of this spring.

Telltale’s Game of Thrones is a bad-looking, dumb, predictable drama. It has some powerful moments, but compared to the show and the books, this is nothing more than a farce.

Rise & Shine's cute look lulls you into thinking that this is going to be an awesome game. Hand-drawn backgrounds and characters look great, the animation is smooth, and the attention to detail is everywhere. But the controls are insufferable: it's difficult to target your enemies while playing on gamepad, and good luck dashing and jumping with a keyboard.

In contrast to the original Elex, this awkward sequel is a typical Piranha Bytes game. And no, it’s not a compliment.

Chronology is just asking to compare it to Braid, even though it is a mediocre game.

It’s not fire, but just a spark. It’s funny and clever at times, but this collection of absurdist sketches is just as close to a good adventure game as a cave painting of an antelope — to an actual animal.

If the developers catered less to fans of dumb teen-oriented anime and tried to make their game more PC-friendly, I would have given it a better score. Because the combat system here is excellent.

The world of Ancestors is an intricate system with its own rules generating exciting events and stories. That is why it’s so fun to explore.

Pagan Online seems to have gone through development hell — whatever its original concept was, the game has been rewritten, cut into pieces and then reassembled in a different form. Its short f2p-style runs are fun at first, but then boredom gradually sets in, because it’s just rinse and repeat.

Corruption 2029 is a shameless clone of Mutant Year Zero minus everything that was good in the original game.

The best way to describe Pressure is “bland”. Aside from three entertaining boss encounters, it is monotonous and charmless.

While the story campaign is woefully short and there are very few gameplay modes, the controls and locations are quite pleasant.

The worst thing about this SimCity that it is much more interesting to read about its woes rather than build cities in it.

In 2013, Deconstructeam entered a Ludum Dare competition with a bare bones concept of a game. Now, a year later, this game has a price tag, but it’s bare just as it was back then.

Hell Yeah would've worked much better if it were a comic book or an animated movie. It is eye-catching and crazy just to the right degree, but, alas, so primitive as a game.

In an attempt to please all kinds of strategy players by adding city building, trading and wars, Grand Ages: Medieval miserably fails on all accounts.

Story is the worst nightmare in Kholat. I expected supernatural stuff, maybe dark sci-fi, or some evil KGB agenda… But the writers took all these three plot ideas, then added parallel worlds, secret objects and cruel science experiments. This is the most absurd and eclectic mishmash of themes I have ever seen in a horror game that tries to look serious.

This awful strategy game is not worthy of even a single playthrough neither on PC, nor on tablets.

Awful game design meets nonsensical story. Oh, and rivers of blood.

Strafe is not even close to the real first-person shooters of the 90s. If it were released in 1996, it would've died a quick death at the hands of its more polished rivals.

It's a game for Batman fans who really don't care about the form. Or for fans of Telltale's products who aren't picky about the content.

If you want to look at Earth from its orbit, the interactive museum of Adrift will take you on an atmospheric, beautiful tour "with no strings attached". If you expect a deep, thought-provoking, or simply engaging game about space — try your luck somewhere else.

Neocore should have billed this one as an expansion, as it looks very short and weak compared to the two previous offerings. It seems as if the developers were in a hurry to wrap things up.

A happy marriage of deep space horror and Souls-like ruthlessness, Hellpoint is a nice game, but there’s still some room to grow.

King’s Bounty 2 feels slapdash. It selectively ignores advances made by fellow role-playing and strategy games over the last 20 years. The role-playing part is underdeveloped while potentially stellar turn-based combat is playing the second fiddle. And the finale of this 35-hour journey is so abrupt that I had to ask the publisher if this is an actual ending.

A mediocre melodrama, awkwardly written into a shoddy walking simulator, its few bright ideas are poorly fleshed out and ultimately destroyed with a rubbish ending.
