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.

Cities: Skylines 2 Review - A Revolution, 2.0, or 1.5?

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?

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.

Transport Fever 2 Review - Good Sim; Poor Tycoon

game review11 December 2019

Three years seems about enough time to pin-point the shortcomings that stop a good game from being great. Have Urban Games managed to do just that, and is their new Transport Fever 2 a game to match the legendary Transport Tycoon?

Worms WMD review – Going back to Armageddon

Worms WMD review – Going back to Armageddon

game review24 August 2016

Worms WMD is a perfect mix of the old and the new, especially since this game is closest to bringing back the experience of the best installments in the series while introducing some new stuff at the same time.

Cossacks 3 review – a sad return to the past

Cossacks 3 review – a sad return to the past

game review21 September 2016

The Cossacks are back, marking their return with the sound of pipes and the roar of cannons. Unfortunately, the third game in the series that is especially popular in Europe comes with the same advantages and disadvantages as it did 16 years ago.

Pharaoh New Era Review: Pyramids Built on Nostalgia in Great Return of Timeless Classic

Pharaoh New Era Review: Pyramids Built on Nostalgia in Great Return of Timeless Classic

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.

Battle Brothers Switch Review - True Gem for Hundreds of Hours

Battle Brothers Switch Review - True Gem for Hundreds of Hours

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.

Black Powder Red Earth Review - A Rage Quitter's Paradise

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.

King’s Bounty 2 Review: My Kingdom for a Dialogue Tree

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.

Total War: Warhammer review – Old World in new garments

Total War: Warhammer review – Old World in new garments

game review31 May 2016

Warhammer + Total War is among the most basic mathematical equations – come to think about it, it’s actually surprising that it took that long for Creative Assembly to finally make this game. Today we know that it was totally worth the wait.

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak review – a galaxy’s worth of sand

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak review – a galaxy’s worth of sand

game review11 February 2016

Real-time strategy games, as a genre, are dying. That’s why every new RTS premiere I see is a reason to celebrate. All the more so if the game belongs to one of my favorite series.

Act of Aggression Review – Act of War did it better

Act of Aggression Review – Act of War did it better

game review08 September 2015

On one hand, Act of Aggression is a rather successful attempt at resurrecting traditional RTS games and continuing the legacy of C&C. On the other, it tries to become the spiritual successor to Act of War, but unfortunately, this is where it falls short.

Hard West Review – the Polish take on XCOM?

Hard West Review – the Polish take on XCOM?

game review03 December 2015

Hard West is not afraid to take up the glove dropped by XCOM and shows that a digital narrative can be something else than an endless festival of action and explosions. Still, this doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

Planet Coaster review – perfect sandbox, imperfect strategy

Planet Coaster review – perfect sandbox, imperfect strategy

game review30 November 2016

Planet Coaster is a great come-back of roller coaster tycoons. The game gives the fans everything they expected, and though the economy system could be more demanding, the production as a whole is an outstanding sandbox.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall Review – Bartender! Civilization with XCOM please!

Age of Wonders: Planetfall Review – Bartender! Civilization with XCOM please!

game review14 August 2019

The creators of the cult series have moved into the distant future, used their best practices and created a game that we'll be playing for years to come. Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a successful strategy that more than makes up for its shortcomings.

What Do We Do With the Drunken Gameplay - Port Royale 4 Review

game review25 September 2020

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..."

Pikmin 3 Deluxe Review - Nintendo Can Make Strategies!

Pikmin 3 Deluxe Review - Nintendo Can Make Strategies!

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.

Stronghold: Warlords Review - The Sims Go to War!

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.

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.
