The Way Review – revive your love in pixel art
game review03 June 2016
Drawing inspiration from cult classics such as Another World or Flashback is a commendable thing to do. Still, is this simply a marketing ploy or did the creators actually succeed at bringing back the spirit of these great ‘90s games?

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.

The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine Review – A fairy-tale duchy tinged with blood
game review25 May 2016
With its second expansion the Witcher 3 franchise bids us farewell – at least for a while. The idea to send the witcher on a trip to Toussaint proves to be a great call and an amazing idea for a closure of sorts.

Stellaris Review – Paradox conquers outer space
game review14 May 2016
The long-awaited Stellaris has taken over the universe… and Steam. Devs from Paradox have created an amazing space 4X game. And despite some shortcomings, it’s hard not to get hooked on it.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Review – Age of Sail 40K
game review02 May 2016
The already impressive number of productions set in the Warhammer 40K universe has just been augmented with another interesting title. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada – a digital rendition of a 1999’s board game – is some truly good tactical RTS.

Offworld Trading Company Review – raging capitalism on the Red Planet
game review28 April 2016
Offworld Trading Company provides a breath of fresh air much needed by the RTS genre. Developed by Soren Johnson’s Mohawk Games, this game lets you conquer Mars using stocks, industrial sabotage, price wars, and book cooking. And it's fun!

The Banner Saga 2 Review – the Nordic journey continues
game review22 April 2016
The success of the first Banner Saga – an unusual video game resembling a Nordic tale – has raised hopes of the fans for an equally satisfying sequel. It looks like the newest production from Stoic Games is going to meet those expectations.

Ashes of the Singularity Review – strategy, tactics, and bipolar AI
game review19 April 2016
Ashes of the Singularity certainly delivers on what it promised: colossal engagements with thousands of units. The question is whether it’s enough to call it a truly unique RTS.

game review15 April 2016
After more than a dozen years of waiting, we are given one more relevant chapter in the history of Bhaalspawn and Baldur’s Gate. Relevant, because Siege of Dragonspear turns out to be perfectly worthy of representing the iconic brand.

The Descendant Review – new interactive movie makes a ponderous take-off
game review31 March 2016
In life, you can either make your own rules, or blindly follow the beaten track. Swedish Game Corps studio seems to have taken the latter route, and so far this decision has only backfired.

Tom Clancy’s The Division Review: It’s decent, but where do we go from here?
game review22 March 2016
Tom Clancy's The Division was supposed to be a terrific game aiming to attract a new kind of players to Ubisoft. Ultimately, we got a mix of ideas that don’t always add up, and you can really feel that the game is missing something.

Grim Dawn Review – worthy heir to Titan Quest
game review02 March 2016
The creators of the magnificent Titan Quest certainly didn’t rush their next project, but after years of hard work, we have finally got it. Grim Down is a surprisingly good hack’n’slash, and a solid base for further growth.

Superhot Review - Tron, Matrix and Tarantino-like slaughter
game review26 February 2016
No great graphics, no epic story, and no symphonical music – Polish shooter Superhot has been rousing emotion all over the gaming world for two years. Has the final build managed to meet the expectations?

The Flame in the Flood Review – Unsatisfying survival game from the creators of BioShock
game review24 February 2016
The Flame in the Flood is yet another survival game, similar to hundreds of others out there. Nice audiovisuals and an intuitive crafting system are not enough to completely forget about its repetitivness and lack of variety.

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.

Firewatch review – Alone in the forest
game review08 February 2016
Firewatch seemed to be a unique game since it was first announced, and we wanted to take a look whether the game is anything more than just a "walking simulator" The result? It definitely is.

The tactical strategy series that says no to aliens makes a comeback once again. After the success of Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within the bar has been set high for XCOM 2, yet it emerges mostly victorious from its battle with gamer expectations.
