Super Mario Bros. Wonder Review: Old-School Charm, Newfound Magic

game review25 October 2023

Visually striking and a zany, trippy ride, Super Mario. Bros. Wonder is an impressive 2D platformer that feels so familiar and brand-new at the same time.

Lords of the Fallen Review - Troublesome Reboot, Step in the Right Direction

game review17 October 2023

The new Lords of the Fallen is definitely a better game than the almost decade-old original. More demanding and diverse, it offers a more interesting world. Still, it comes with a few problems.

Are two Spider-Men better than one? In a word, yes, but the real hero of this video game is a story that’s nothing short of amazing.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review - Unfortunate Series Low Point

game review04 October 2023

Pretty much all fans of the Assassin's Creed were hyped for Mirage, an installment heralded as full-blown return to the roots. Sadly, Ubisoft didn't manage to break the bad spell, although the game is technically polished, there's not much more to it.

Cyberpunk 2077 Disappointed, but Phantom Liberty Delights. A Touching Farewell by Spy Thriller

game review20 September 2023

I'm not a big fan of Cyberpunk 2077, but Phantom Liberty totally stole my heart. It has a great plot, great emotions, and is really memorable. That said, it's just average in terms of gameplay.

Baldur's Gate 3 Review: BG3 Is Great, But I Hoped for Greater Miracles

game review29 August 2023

Baldur's Gate 3 partially fulfilled my dreams, and partially didn't. It's a great adventure in my beloved genre, but ultimately it doesn't deliver on all of its promises. It's a phenomenon that I've entered with my mind, but not entirely with my soul.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Review. Mechas Die Twice

game review23 August 2023

The TV set melted and the PS4 is a pile of smoking ash after the encounter with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. This game in every respect reminds me of face-melting red-hot metal.

Immortals of Aveum Review: When Magic Fizzles

game review22 August 2023

A new IP, Immortals of Aveum, doesn’t make the best first impression, yet has the potential to be much more – if it focuses on what it does well.

RIDE 5 Review - Less Gran Turismo, More MotoGP Vibes

game review21 August 2023

We used to call the RIDE series “Gran Turismo for motorcycle lovers.” However, it seems Milestone has now a different vision, and brings RIDE 5 closer to MotoGP. It plays great but something important was lost in the process.
