Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 Review - Refurbished Classic Instead of Brand New Ride
game review13 August 2021
The game about being a car mechanic is back. It's better, it's bigger, it's prettier, but overall it's a small step in the evolution of the series, rather than a significant revolution.

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Review - A Weathered Old Ninja
game review11 June 2021
This master collection hopes to make Ninja Gaiden relevant again in 2021. But for a game that really shows its age, is it a series worth revisiting?

Blightbound Review: A Dungeon Crawler by Any Other Name
game review28 July 2021
This game won't change the world, and it's certainly not the best in its genre. It does, however, have the ability to enchant for several long hours. Some elements should be refined though. Read our Blightbound review.

MotoGP 21 Review - Dark Souls of Racing
game review23 April 2021
Do you want to teach someone humility? Buy them MotoGP 21 as a gift. It’ll serve this educational purpose just fine. Yes, you could choose Dark Souls, but that’d be kinda trite, don’t you think? Trust me, MotoGP can be equally unforgiving and punishing…

Blue Reflection Second Light: Weighed Down By Fanservice
game review10 November 2021
Blue Reflection: Second Light combines casual RPG elements and a mysterious story with distracting fanservice that tends to drag the whole experience down.

The sequel to the infamous Agony is coming. This game is hell. And while it has its moments, you wouldn't want to explore that hell.

War Mongrels Review: Battle Weary Tactics
game review22 October 2021
Plan your moves, don’t get spotted, and complete various missions amid the dangers around you. This World War II game gives you classic RTT gameplay, but comes with some annoying setbacks too.

Age of Empires 4 Review - The Return of the RTS King
game review27 October 2021
Age of Empires IV proves there’s still a place for classic RTS games in 2021. Developers have brilliantly adapted the well-known formula to modern realities. Hopefully, this will not be the last part of the series, but a completely new beginning.

Chorus Review: Satisfying Combat Distracts From A Lackluster Protagonist
game review03 December 2021
Chorus misses out on the opportunity to let the player decide who the protagonist is, choosing instead to force a dramatic end-of-the-world scenario on the player that cheapens the ability to explore and take on side-missions. Read our review.

Bright Memory Infinite Review - A Broken Hybrid of Crysis and Shadow Warrior
game review11 November 2021
Swordfighting and shooting cutting-edge guns isn’t a common combination in FPS games. However, an alluring concept and jaw-dropping visuals are still not enough to recommend Bright Memory: Infinite, even to die-hard fans of Crysis and Shadow Warrior.

They that no man ever steps in the same river twice. However, we took a risk and launched Anthem again – a game-service whose support and grand development plans have just been finally and completely cancelled.

Chopping Trees is an Adventure, or Why isn't Valheim Boring?
revisiting05 March 2021
I don't think I need to convince anyone that Valheim is a sensation. Millions of copies sold, great ratings, and lots of coveragpraising different aspects of the game from graphics to refreshing the survival genre. But I wanted to talk about trees.

Song of Iron is the result of one solo developer’s hard work and determination to turn his ideas into a video game. This is Joe Winter’s first solo project and it is truly a labor of love.

Twelve Minutes Review: Time Well Spent
game review24 August 2021
Time loops make for some interesting plots, but how a film or game uses it to move the action along determines how effective it is in the end. But just remember – the clock is ticking.

Chernobylite Review: Welcome to the Exclusion Zone
game review27 July 2021
Chernobylite is perhaps the closest you will ever get to visiting the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and avoid any of the radiation aftereffects. And it also somehow manages to make it fun and intriguing at the same time.

The Witcher Monster Slayer Review: Mild Hunt
game review26 July 2021
The idea of playing as a witcher and roaming the lands for monsters to discover and hunts sound awesome, but not when it’s in the form of a game like this. Save yourself some time and read The Witcher books instead.
