Good writing but the rest is sub-par. In particular, the tiny size of combat arenas makes any attempt of strategizing utterly irrelevant.

8.6 / 10.0 - Unplugged
Oct 21, 2021

Finally, hand tracking has been put to good use! I love air-guitaring with Unplugged, I just wish all the songs were available from the start.

Although driving is super fun, the design of the career mode feels boring and samey after the first hour. Hopefully the multiplayer will be able to lend the game some more longevity.

7.5 / 10.0 - RiMS Racing
Aug 24, 2021

Incredible attention to detail, an impressive physics model and a focus on the bike maintenance make RIMS Racing a strong first entry for a new IP; however, the erratic AI and self-harming design choices reduce the overall enjoyment of the game. Also, day one DLCs are never a good look.

6.7 / 10.0 - Carrier Command 2
Aug 9, 2021

The underlying gameplay is still so brilliant that it is painful to see it brought it down by obtuse and ancient systems that make the overall experience frustrating.

7.7 / 10.0 - Jupiter Hell
Aug 5, 2021

Solid, no-nonsense roguelike with a comparatively rare sci-fi setting. Too bad it doesn't deliver the badass power fantasy that its inspiring material source (Doom) does so well.

8.3 / 10.0 - PULSAR: Lost Colony
Jul 5, 2021

Pulsar: Lost Colony is a bold title, especially for an independent studio that trained it from a Kickstarter project. Leafy Games developers have intelligently decided to embrace the technical limitations of their production, choosing to offer many small moments from science fiction anthology, with solid management of their spaceship through well-defined and specialized crew roles.

Although I am convinced Red Solstice 2: Survivors will find its niche fanbase, I can't really say the hybrid action/strategy gameplay impressed me. The single-player campaign is nice to have but it doesn't stand outM the core experience here is definitely the multiplayer co-op.

8.8 / 10.0 - Chivalry 2
Jun 11, 2021

As demanding as it is satisfying, Chivalry 2 pushes you to to keep an eye on mission objectives while managing its easy-to-learn-difficult-to-master fighting system. Unfortunately there is no single player campaign, but the missions are as varied as the maps are beautiful.

8.1 / 10.0 - Demeo
May 17, 2021

Brilliant simulation of a traditional dungeon crawler board game with a decent variety of enemies. I can't wait for the release of the next dungeon.

One of the best flipper simulations ever finally come to PC VR and it's as good as the original experience. Also, can someone somehow build a fan cave in my house please?

Excellent throwback to memories of our younger selves, Total War: Rome Remastered reminds us how good the basics of this series were and how far it has travelled in the last seventeen years.

7.5 / 10.0 - Empires in Ruins
Apr 2, 2021

Hammer & Ravens developers have been brave and they got several good intuitions, even if the balance problems make the management component less engaging and the graphic style makes the tower defence not too sexy. The main character is a blast though.

8.2 / 10.0 - Doom 3: VR Edition
Mar 29, 2021

DOOM 3 is the ideal choice for virtual reality and its environments have never felt so vivid. The game remains an old school shooter, however the main campaign and the two expansions will give you a great reason to dust off your Aim controller. This adaptation is not perfect, but we should count our blessings.

Whether it's lack of effort, time or budget, Cyanide Studio does not enough to provide a satisfying combat system, nor an interesting story-telling, nor a decent technical presentation.

The duration of the campaign stands at least half a dozen hours, so not bad, but in the face of an experience that I feel I recommend only to the most cheezy fans of Warhammer 40,000, moreover with some remora for the most demanding. Final chiosa for multiplayer: I would have liked to try horde mode in co-op, but at the moment it is not available, you have to wait until January. Will it be the turning point? It would take one of the Sisters' miracles.

7.3 / 10.0 - Myst
Dec 16, 2020

Myst is a title deeply dropped in its time. In the 1990s the concept of tutorials was almost unknown, as was the idea of a video walkthrough: at most you could find some textual guide in the reference magazines, but more often it was necessary to hope that some friends had discovered by the back ways how to solve that particularly difficult puzzle. The market wasn't inundated with the amount of video games now, and we users had a different predisposition to spend days and days trying to progress to trialand error , trying to click on every point of interest until something was unlocked. This long premise seems fundamental to me to frame the type of experience that Myst offers us, since its incipit.

Respawn Entertainment nails everything that makes VR so special and wraps it in a fun shooter with a narrative style that doesn't take itself too seriously and offers simple but solid multiplayer options. Add to the mix a true gem with real historic value like the Gallery, and you can hardly ask for more.

8.4 / 10.0 - Ghostrunner
Oct 26, 2020

Ghostrunner is a pure game: if you came for a parkour adrenaline rush with katana swords, you are in for a treat. The fast pace and good variety of levels and enemies will keep you playing for longer than you expect, and you will barely notice the "meh"-grade graphic.

7.1 / 10.0 - Partisans 1941
Oct 14, 2020

You can see sparks of an excellent game here and there, but the full potential got lost along the way. Still, not so many tactical action games around – beggars can't be choosers!
