7 / 10.0 - Scars Above
Mar 18, 2023

Story-driven sci-fi adventure is a rare guest these days. Despite low-budget limitationб Scars Above is a worthy experience to spend a few evenings with it.

7 / 10.0 - Signalis
Nov 12, 2022

Signalis could be a cult classic if it were released 25 years ago. Now it is just a love letter for PS1 era of horrors. If you were there, you will love it.

7 / 10.0 - Steelrising
Sep 10, 2022

Steelrising feels like any other Spiders' game. It has intriguing setting, memorable cast of characters and fun combat mechanics. But overall lack of variety and poor exploration make experience incomplete.

Slowburner detective about vampires. For those who values story and characters more than game mechanics.

7 / 10.0 - ELEX II
Mar 5, 2022

The usual strengths of Piranha Bytes games are downed by archaic mechanics.

7 / 10.0 - Encased
Sep 26, 2021

Solid RPG with a lot of good ideas, promising first half and quite a few flaws in the second half.

Hired Gun is almost great in its core shooting mechanic and offers nice Warhammer 40K aesthetic, but everything else in this game is mediocre at best.

D&D fans would appreciate Solasta: Crown of the Magister, but things that work great on paper may not be so good in a single player videogame.

7 / 10.0 - Paradise Lost
Apr 11, 2021

Paradise Lost is a slow-paced adventure where you have to watch and listen carefully most of the time instead of actually playing it. Whether that's good or bad depends on what you seek in a game.

Far from perfect, but still solid addition for those who like the formula of Doom Eternal.

Shattered - Tale of the Forgotten King is a mediocre souls-like at best, but what makes it worth your time is its unique world with intriguing mythology.

7 / 10.0 - The Medium
Feb 7, 2021

Intriguing, mystical detective story with interesting idea of simultaneous render of two worlds. But in the end, it just doesn't pay off.

7 / 10.0 - Serious Sam 4
Sep 24, 2020

Technical mess, outdated visuals, awkward 'modern' design decisions… and a lot of fun to play!

7 / 10.0 - Mortal Shell
Aug 29, 2020

Slow-paced action-slasher with satisfying combat and grim atmosphere. And it leaves you wanting for more.

7 / 10.0 - Hellpoint
Aug 15, 2020

If you are a Souls fan, you should definitely try Hellpoint. It is clunky at times, but absolutely fun to explore.

7 / 10.0 - West of Dead
Jul 4, 2020

West of Dead borrows a lot from Dead Cells and blends it with nice twin-stick shooter with covers mechanic. But it really suffers from lack of variety.

Sad story of the tragedy and the truth behind it. Intriguing 'till the last minute.

Blacksad: Under the Skin is both a good videogame adaptation of the original comics and a great detective for those who will meet John Blacksad for the first time.

7 / 10.0 - GreedFall
Sep 14, 2019

So far, GreedFall is the best attempt of Spiders to make a remarkable RPG. But that does not mean the game is great. Sometimes Greedfall is good, but sometimes just average.

7 / 10.0 - Devotion
Mar 3, 2019

Devotion feels like "one step forward, two steps back" in comparison with Detention, previous (and brilliant) work of Red Candle Games.
