Frostpunk 2 Review: An Example That Risk Pays Off
game review17 September 2024
Frostpunk 2 is both a sequel and a new start for the franchise. Despite my concerns, this marriage turned out great.

game review19 October 2023
Cities Skylines is finally back with its sequel after a whole eight years. Part two brings sweeping, quality-of-life improvements, but has the formula stayed relevant after almost a decade?

The fourth installment of the Pikmin series comes to life in a complete package that features something for everyone. It’s the best Pikmin game yet and one you should definitely check out.

Fans of the Jagged Alliance series had to wait 24 years for the next installment of their favorite game. But does the 3 have a chance to meet all the expectations, or will it turn out to be the final nail in the coffin.

game review27 March 2023
Reclaim a barren wasteland from the grips of toxic ruin in Terra Nil. From the temperate river valley to a volcanic glacier, restoring the natural environment has never been more relaxing.

game review15 February 2023
Pharaoh returns to take the rightful spot on the throne of city builders. The game has some shortcomings, but it is still a great remake. A New Era treats the source material with respect, at the same time making it more accessible.

game review05 August 2022
Hard West 2 is out now and we have a lot of good things to say about it. But is the turn-based combat game ideal?

Our Two Point Campus review is ready! Is the game a worthy successor to Two Point Hospital? Was the delay helpful in delivering the game we hoped for?

game review14 February 2022
Five years. That's how long we waited for Total War: Warhammer 3. Creative Assembly have taken much more time with the development than anyone anticipated. This time was not squandered.

game review17 November 2021
Explore the inside of a mountain and build your own dwarven colony in Hammerting, a game that has a lot of potential but is held back by some rough edges.

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.

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.

game review26 August 2021
King's Bounty 2 is a good game, perhaps average for others. However, if you love fantasy genre, this world will provide you with several hours of entertainment.

game review30 March 2021
Black Powder Red Earth is a game based on an interesting idea, but in the end it's more annoying than fun. Definitely not for everyone.

game review29 March 2021
2021 is a strange year that will take away a lot of big launches. It doesn't hurt me at all, though, because through Battle Brothers on Switch, I don't have time for anything else anyway.

Evil Genius 2: World Domination is a real-time strategy sim that lets you build and manage your own criminal syndicate and evil lair. Its customization features and spy-fi aesthetic make for a great time.

The world has ended, and those who survived are building their settlements. Endzone: A World Apart is an interesting city builder in a post-apocalypse world.

game review08 March 2021
Stronghold: Warlords allows you to bare-witness the tumultuous history of the Eastern Asian continent, depicting wars of the fearsome Mongol Horde, among others. The game is terribly engrossing, offering diverse missions and even some decisions to make.

game review18 February 2021
Nebuchadnezzar is a good game that brings back memories of Impressions Games' productions like Pharaoh or Caesar. And while it's fun to build a city, Nebuchadnezzar suffers from some serious flaws.

game review11 November 2020
There's nothing better than a little boring game that hits Switch. While on a PC or PS4 I wouldn't reach for Jurassic World Evolution, this game is perfect for short sessions.

game review28 October 2020
A skillful combination of absurd, Nintendo-style themes, exploration and mechanics based on raw material management. Pikmin 3 Deluxe does not change the face of the series, but a few changes from the Wii U version encourage you to meet again.

revisiting09 October 2020
There are games that try to make us feel for others, arouse empathy, condemn thoughtless hatred. And there's also Among Us, which says : "I bet five bucks that I'll make you a two-faced pig in two rounds." And believe me, it's right.

Port Royale 4 is here. Will the game let us forget the rather unflattering part three of the series, created by the same studio, Gaming Minds? The answer is simple: "No, but..."

How often does a series of concept artworks becomes a pop culture franchise? Iron Harvest, based on the works of Jakub Rozalski, is the only such case I know, but is it a good game? Well...

The most complex simulator of a medieval ruler returns after more than eight years. It's an absolutely mighty game with two major drawbacks.

game review16 June 2020
Thanks to the Mimimi Games, the genre established by the unforgettable Commandos makes a big return. With their second stealth-RTS, the German studio not only solidified it's reputation as masters of the genre, but also brought Desperados back to life!

The Gears of War series just got a new entry, but this time, we don't pull the trigger – we tell others when to do it and who to shoot at. How do you make a strategy out of a shooter?

XCOM: Chimera Squad came right out of the blue – like a flying saucer crashing on a radio tower; we're not even back on our feet, and the game's already on Steam.
