    It's a simple, bright adventure game that you could play with your kids… if not for its problems with story, animation, voice-overs, characters' motivation and questionable creature design.

    A pale imitation of a once awesome game.

    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.

    The graphics in Yooka-Laylee are not bleeding edge, but it is incredibly close to what they call 'artistic perfection', and it brings nothing but joy.

    Whereas Minecraft is simple enough to be understood by a kid, LEGO Worlds drowns you in a plethora of almost useless features. Even something as mundane as building and painting is clumsy and eats a lot of your time.

    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.

    Malicious is an exercise in primitivism that should've stayed on PS3.

    Battle Brothers needs more text to fully bring its world to live, but if you like turn-based battles and open worlds, this game is as good as it gets.

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

    There is enough spectacular action to keep you occupied for a couple of weeks, but Horizon is not the hot new killer app for PS4.

    A drab, low-budget, clumsy product which we have come to expect from Cyanide.

    Resident Evil 7 is chock full of spectacular cinematic scenes, but what's the point of all that if they're hardly scary at all? Worse, some of them make you laugh.

    On the surface, Hollow Knight looks like a simple game that heavily borrows from ages old retro cliches, but this is a beautiful, epic adventure.

    If you're interested in Candle because of its stylish looks, just skip the game itself and enjoy the screenshots.

    This unusual action game set in an offbeat world created by Taro Yoko is a treasure trove of pleasant surprises. It's not often that we meet such a stylish, offbeat, memorable game.

    It could have been a masterpiece if the writers knew when to stop.

    A fun, sad, scary and charming adventure that opens so many doors. It borrows a little too much from Sunless Sea, though, and the train management system is a boring chore.

    For Honor is rife with annoying bugs and design shortcomings. Still, a fighting game with swords is too rare a game to ignore it. If you like memorizing combos and duking it out with other players, give Ubisoft 3-4 months to iron out bugs, fix the balance and lower the price.

    The fourth installment is much closer to the bullseye than previous ones. If only Rebellion hired a decent writer…

    Tales of Berseria is too archaic in its game design and visuals to be a mass-appeal JPRG. Still, if you're looking to play a modern representative of this genre, keep in mind that you can easily find a better-looking game, but you won't have as much fun playing it as this one.

    If you are ready to forgive Halo Wars 2 for its console limitations, you will enjoy crushing your enemies in the Halo universe.

    Nioh has come a long way since its inception. It's not ideal, but very impressive nonetheless. Its brutal, unforgiving combat in a fresh setting more than makes up for flawed narrative.

    Don't expect to see something in the vein of Patrician 4 or Space Rangers in a Middle-Eastern setting. The developers of Caravan cut, simplified and sterilized pretty much everything that made those games fun.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A source of escapist fun for those who enjoys exploring underwater worlds and an intimidating bug-riddled leviathan for everyone else.

    A potato-based space odyssey with an ever-increasing degree of frustration.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    All in all, it's a decent platformer worthy of your 10-20 hours of free time. But, as far as metroidvanias go, there is so much stuff to improve in the potential sequel, for example, a map, a teleport system, a bag of collectable items and lots of well-hidden secrets.

    To some extent, Urban Empire is a game that plays itself. Buildings grow higher and higher, factories crop up on empty plots, citizens open up new shops - all without your input. It could've been a fun zen experience, but everything is artificial and lifeless, and, despite milktoast graphics, the game at times is too sluggish.

    One of the main changes that Imperium brings to the Eador formula is expanded battlefields allowing 12v12 fights as opposed to 8v8 in the original game. In theory, they should offer additional tactical options to players, but all they do is just prolong those leisurely battles even more.

    Yakuza 0 is a compact slice of modern Japan with one difference that in real Tokyo and Osaka they actually have street traffic.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Gravity Rush 2 is a charming collection of interesting ideas and situations, marred by the infantile story, samey gameplay, some unintentionally funny animations of the main character, along with annoying bugs.
