The AI does not make mistakes – ever. Each race is only two laps long, so if you fell down, landed badly or simply pressed a wrong button – there goes your chance of winning a medal. At first, you think that you can get ahead by buying upgrades and new vehicles… But here’s where Riptide’s free-to-play past rears its ugly head: money prizes are minuscule, prices are exorbitant, and you can’t sell the scooters that you don’t need.

An open world game devoid of meaningful content will be forever remembered only as a tool for making astonishingly beautiful screenshots.

Warlock 2 is a better game than its predecessor, Warlock: Master of the Arcane, but after several playthroughs you will succumb to the familiar boredom.

Banished, as it stands now, looks like a game from Steam Early Access rather than a finished product.

The Wolf Among Us is still more enjoyable than the 2nd season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead, but, all in all, the taste is already gone, and there are two more installments to play through.

Luftrausers is one of those arcade games that feel very nice, but there is not much to do.

1954: Alcatraz is the worst game ever produced by Daedalic Entertainment. Thankfully, unlike professional video games reviewers, you can simply ignore this nightmare.

Binding of Isaac with the ability to roll wrapped in the visual style of Don’t Starve – that’s Our Darker Purpose in a nutshell.

Just like any other decent 4X game, Age of Wonders 3 truly shines when you play on random maps, rather than scenarios. They are much more fun to explore, and the whole diplomacy mechanic suddenly makes sense.

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.

With this expansion and major updates, Blizzard finally did what it should have done two years ago – make Diablo 3 a fun game to play.

A fun, original take on the FPS genre that puts randomization to a very good use.

Unresponsive controls is not the worst annoyance here. Cheating AI is the real problem.

Infested Planet is Crimsonland of the RTS genre, where you shoot aliens by thousands just because it’s fun or you want to take the top spot in the leaderboards. If you prefer your RTS in the more traditional sense, this game is definitely not your cup of tea.

Monopoly with monsters – what can be better than that? Well, turns out, pretty much everything else.

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’.

In this final installment, you’ll spend 3-4 hours watching the writers retconning the history of Columbia and Rapture, but none of these revelations are exciting.

Konami should really give a raise to the genius who came up with the idea of selling what is basically a demo version for $29.99. You see, there is only one mission in Ground Zeroes. I was gawking around and taking screenshots, and I still managed to beat it in less than 90 minutes. You can do it in 30 even if you don’t skip the lengthy cinematics.

Spectacular, loud, bare-bones – that’s Titanfall for you. Respawn wanted it to become popular so bad that they went overboard and cut off too much meat.

Playing FX Eleven has only one good side effect – it makes you really crave Football Manager.

Braveland is a cute little thing for those who have never played turn-based strategy games before.

Even if you still remember the ending of the original SpellForce 2, think twice before buying this expansion.

Apart from the abrupt epilogue and somewhat daft AI, Shadowrun: Dragonfall is a great expansion to the original game.

Jazzpunk is an equivalent of an avant-garde show – it doesn’t have a story or even a point to it. It’s nothing more than a collection of rejected ideas.

A fun, addictive TD strategy game. The story campaign could have been a tad more challenging, but, thankfully, there is a plethora of additional gameplay modes.

It’s a pity that Naughty Dog cut this episode from the original game. Yes, it breaks the pace, but the story is worth it.

Basically, it’s the second full-length movie based on South Park, now fully interactive. Even bigger, longer and uncut.

An overly ambitious, tedious, shockingly short game.
