The overall lack of direction, combined with the shallow and poor design of the actual encounters and gameplay flow, makes it seem like a lackluster title in the tower defense genre, and the cluttered and wonky interface, together with the overall low visual quality, makes Commando Jack an unsatisfying experience.- Softpedia

Beyond Space is not geared toward hardcore dogfigthing simulator fans, but rather toward a more casual audience that would like to try out the genre...Unfortunately, it lacks any depth due to the absence of a storyline and context for your actions, and the general game flow is questionable at best, and lacking in many areas.- Softpedia

Fading Hearts is certainly a good visual novel game, managing to innovate in the genre by adding some big choices and by allowing characters to be more than just 2D people. The fact that they lie and most of them have fleshed out backgrounds makes you care about them even more.- Softpedia

Detective Grimoire is a well-paced adventure title that features a lot of talking, some good puzzles, a lot of weaker ones, quirky characters and locations, and a murder mystery that will be solved by most gamers before the protagonist has a clear clue about it.- Softpedia

Emperor Edition really shows how much the title from The Creative Assembly has evolved since it was originally delivered and the way the entire experience has been updated based on the needs of the community and the cool ideas of the development team.- Softpedia

Tiestru could have been an interesting take on the tower defense genre, but unfortunately it's not. Each and every aspect, from basic design to execution and asset models points to not enough time and resources being invested into making the game.- Softpedia

Art of War for Europa Universalis IV feels essential in a way that no other expansion launched so far for the grand strategy title has felt, mostly because of the significant way it improves the map and thereby introduces more choices and variety to the entire experience.- Softpedia

Venom is not the best table they have introduced to Zen Pinball this year, but it remains close to the way the character is presented in the comics and allows players to relive the most interesting moments associated with him.- Softpedia

Way of Life is a good piece of content for those who love another side of Crusader Kings II: the weird and sometimes entirely ahistorical results that can create strange, engaging stories.- Softpedia

Geometry Dash is a really good and extremely challenging game. While it can get a bit frustrating sometimes, you can always complete the stages using the practice mode and then jump into the many different user-generated levels.- Softpedia

Club Manager 2015 could do with a little bit more polish, but as it stands now, the game is a classic take on the genre it is part of, with some clear limitations and plenty of options for gamers to experience nostalgia while playing it.- Softpedia

Great Big War Game could have been a much better turn-based strategy experience with a little more investment, but as it stands, only core Advance Wars fans who have run out of other things to play should get it.- Softpedia

An overall disappointing experience that could have become at least decent, given enough time to mature and refine its gameplay systems. Instead, Mechs & Mercs: Black Talon seems like a rushed and incomplete product, the way it is right now.- Softpedia

Combat Monsters does have some good ideas and mixes genres well, but the move from mobiles to the PC should have brought some updates and changes that have not been implemented, and the experience is poorer because of that.- Softpedia

Human Extinction Simulator is a good game from a gameplay standpoint, with great scenarios, carefully crafted units and a lot of replayability. Its biggest problem is that it is a little too difficult for its own good and there are moments when it seems entirely impossible to win certain fights.- Softpedia

A wider variety of enemies, mechanics, weapons and upgrades would have made it much more appealing, but it's not too bad as it is, either.- Softpedia

I'm left wondering why this game was even made and who decided that offering it to the public would be a good idea...It feels like an unfinished student's project, and I don't even want to know how the imprecise controls work on a tiny mobile device's screen, especially when you really have to get lucky at times, in order to get through some of the tiny, passable gaps, barely squeezing your ship between two environmental hazards.- Softpedia

Fans of Europa Universalis IV should get El Dorado as soon as possible in order to experience a more complete set of game mechanics and to use the Nation Designer.- Softpedia

If you don’t mind the lack of direction or storyline, Reassembly can provide many hours of great fun, with rewarding gameplay, a solid atmosphere and great soundtrack. It feels polished, the ship builder is really clean and easy to use, and it scratches that itch that makes you want to build and optimize in an unending cycle.- Softpedia

It’s unsatisfying and there is simply not enough to do. On the upside, it’s easy to pick up and can even be enjoyed by kids.- Softpedia

It does have numerous tiny flaws, the biggest of which being its casual, loose design, but the fact that it's one of the only Star Trek tourist trap simulators out there more than makes up for any minor shortcomings.- Softpedia

While wargaming veterans might find it too simplistic and a little rough around the edges, it's a perfect introductory title for those intimidated by games on the scale of Europa Universalis.- Softpedia

A rich turn-based strategy experience that allows for deep customization, intense battles, and lots of replayability. Bear in mind that the learning curve is steep and the visual presentation is a bit underwhelming, by today's standards. Even so, fans can find lots of things to love in this indie title.- Softpedia

Interplanetary is a game with some great ideas and it does manage to create a central problem that will be very hard for gamers to solve perfectly.- Softpedia

A great expansion for an already solid grand strategy title, and it feels like the first one to feel essential since Wealth of Nations.- Softpedia

Devouring Stars may seem simple enough at first, but things get pretty complex as you progress through its randomized campaign and you'll certainly have your strategy skills tested. Fortunately, the great visual design and the impressive soundtrack make spending your time in the indie title a worthy investment.- Softpedia

The base Crusader Kings II launch is a great way for players to check out the core features and see whether they suit their interests, and The Horse Lords is probably in the top three when it comes to expansion quality.- Softpedia

Hides a very challenging shoot'em up experience under its vibrant visuals and, provided you're willing to brave its perma-death and procedural mechanics, you're in for a compelling experience, especially if you have friends to play with or against.- Softpedia

Adventure Lib takes some great jabs at adventure titles, gameplay tropes, and manages to deliver a short but hilarious experience. Sure, your mileage may vary depending on your sense of humor or passion for repetition, but at least you'll have fun with this quirky indie experience.- Softpedia

WonderCat Adventures is a clever side-scrolling platformer that uses its simple controls in a great way. Level design is quite good for the most part of the 55 stages, but as mentioned above, during the latter parts of the game, it does force players to engage in a lot of trial-and-error. Even so, you're in for a pretty sweet experience controlling the alien feline.- Softpedia
