Well-written text briefings between missions is the only saving grace of this otherwise boring, stuffy game.

A collection of horrendously bad mini-games, hastily glued together by an asinine story.

Compared to their previous creations, Blendo Games shows some promising progress. So far, they've mastered interactive introductions and tutorials. Still waiting for a full-fledged game, though.

A hit and miss adventure that tries to pay homage to Tim Schaffer's undying classics from the 90s. It does feel like old school, and sometimes, it's even funny, but never reaches that level of brilliance.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is really eager to eat your time, and, since this game is chock-full of micromanagement, it can be too overwhelming at times. It can also be a lot of fun when you play online with actual people, so pick it up if you're looking for fresh multiplayer experiences.

If you've never played "metroidvania" type of games, Ghost 1.0 is an excellent entry point.

A roguelike with skin-deep gameplay mechanics that tries to mimic Dark Souls and ultimately fails.

Empty and lifeless - these two words describe everything that there is in Krai Mira.

At first, TurnOn strikes you as a bolt of lightning. Wow, the first Russian indie game released under the ID@Xbox banner, and with nice graphics and sound to boot. After the initial shock wears off, you notice the roughness around the edges, the lack of multiplayer with leaderboards (for musical levels), irregular checkpoint placement, the hero jumping through textures…

Frozen State can be a lot of fun at times. Where else can you plod through a heavy snowstorm in a ruined Siberian town while drinking porto to warm yourself up? Just don't expect too much fun here.

Auroch Digital failed in its attempt to make a simplified version of Armageddon Empires. By removing the most difficult elements, the developers robbed the game of its charm, and new gameplay modes and improved UI can't fill the void.

A mindless, clunky, tedious, boring, and difficult for the sake of difficulty game.

Fans of police procedurals and stylish games will definitely enjoy this original hybrid of management game and a visual noir novel.

Boring puzzles and at times jarring low-budget visuals stir a lot of negative emotions, but all this anger and frustration will be wiped away by the narrative tide of sincere emotions and soothing nostalgia. Ragnar Tornquist creates colorful character, and writes witty dialogue; he knows how to carry on the intrigue, make you laugh and, when the gods of drama demand it, sucker-punch you with full force.

Accompanied by an 80s horror movie soundtrack, death screams and sounds of gunshots, a merciless zombie horde shambles through the darkened streets, ready to win over your hearts.

Ashes of the Singularity, like a time machine, brings us back to the era when every RTS clone wanted to look unique and innovative.

You will probably remember three hours of playing Inside as three best hours of computer entertainment in a very long time.

Shoddy graphics, clunky camera, a stump of a story - this game is rife with shortcomings. But, if you yearn for Commandos-style gameplay, this is probably the best option for you so far.

Breached feels like a demo version rather than a full-fledged game.

Hearts of Iron 4 in one word is "optimization". There is now proper gameplay mechanics instead of duct-taped hacks and artificial restrictions seen in previous installments; the AI, freed from dozens of scripts, now thinks and acts on its own, while the game itself is more accessible and comprehensible, but still offers the same depth.

Batman: The Telltale Series is off to a lacklustre start, and even if you're a die-hard fan of the Caped Crusader, or you simply hope to see a glimmer fresh ideas in Telltale's assembly line products, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

A beautiful, unnecessarily protracted, empty shell of a game.

Neon Chrome has a handful of bizarre shortcomings, which is surprising since this is the game from the makers of Crimsonland. Nevertheless, just like Leap of Fate, it brings new ideas to its stagnating genre.

It seems the developers were hard pressed to release the game before the movie's premiere. This kind of rush never ends well.

Mirror's Edge: Catalyst brings the series back where it started - to broken dreams and still untapped potential.

Blood and Wine should be used as an interactive workshop for other developers to show them how to create awesome game expansions.

Mediocrity in every way. The developers of Kathy Rain should have realized early on that they are unable to create a work of art with interesting supernatural elements and human emotions.

Stellaris feels like two games of completely different quality. One game offers boring linear stand-offs against a tame AI, the other is an excellent multiplayer platform.
