Too often, I found myself quitting out of frustration, forced to replay sections from the last checkpoint because of bugs. These weren't minor annoyances'they significantly impacted the experience. With proper polish, this could have been rated much higher. If the developers eventually patch the game, it's absolutely worth your time. Until then, I suggest adding it to your wishlist and waiting.

7 / 10.0 - FragPunk
May 22, 2025

FragPunk is a fun and promising tactical hero shooter with unique card mechanics that refresh gameplay each round. However, it still suffers from balance issues, confusing virtual currencies, and low server tickrate that impacts the overall experience.

Some elements of the Onimusha 2 remaster still hold up 23 years after its original release, offering moments of engagement and fun. Others, however, haven't aged as gracefully, and time has taken its toll. As a result, this remaster feels more like an intriguing relic of the past'best appreciated by longtime fans looking to revisit the reasons they once fell in love with the series, rather than newcomers.

9.5 / 10.0 - DOOM: The Dark Ages
May 9, 2025

Doom: The Dark Ages does many things differently from its predecessors, but it does them well. A rich story, a great sense of power, and still memorable, brutal gameplay make it not only a great addition to the legendary action franchise, but also one of the best games of the year.

It's a shame there's no real online multiplayer in this version, and the single-player content is repetitive. It plays well, it's fun, but at the moment I see no reason to stick with the game beyond the first few hours.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is one of the most mechanically complex fighters in years, offering a deep combat system you can master over dozens of hours'especially in multiplayer, where the game truly shines. However, the single-player content is repetitive, the story lacks impact, and the game struggles to present its complex mechanics in an intuitive way.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a quality adventure game that, as a follow-up to the cult classic Life is Strange, perhaps suffers a little from over-expectation.

6 / 10.0 - Vendetta Forever
Apr 17, 2025

Vendetta Forever reeks of missed opportunities. Beneath the stylishness and adrenaline-fueled action, it's actually a shallow experience that you'd like to see more of, and something more varied. The 4 or so mission types and relatively schematic gameplay quickly become tiresome.

7 / 10.0 - Golden Lap
Mar 13, 2025

Golden Lap aims to bring sports management to those who have never played such games before. It's an accessible and simple game that captures the F1 era of the 1970s well. Unfortunately, it's too simple, and after a few hours you'll be wishing for something a little more complex.

9 / 10.0 - Split Fiction
Mar 4, 2025

In the end, you won't even know how the 15 hours of Split Fiction have flown by as you immerse yourself in worlds of boundless imagination. Perhaps no game has ever offered so many ideas at once. Yes, not everything works 100%, and occasionally something could use a little more attention, but it's still an experience you'll enjoy and return to again and again.

Star Trek: Legends quickly falls into a routine of repeating the same scheme of things in order to progress. You just want to see what the Nexus really is, but the game's free-to-play roots force you into annoying activities and repetitive grinding. Not even the huge cast of characters from nearly 10 TV shows and several films can save it.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age is a unique game that does many things in its own way. But be warned, that doesn't necessarily mean it does them well, as in some ways it goes against the grain and makes things unnecessarily complicated.

Postal: Brain Damaged rectifies the tarnished reputation of the well-known franchise and delivers a fun old-school action game with some really fast and bloody gameplay, but it's dragged down by some really bad humour and also some underdeveloped aspects within the pacing of the game as a whole, where when it starts serving up good levels, it doesn't fill them with new content. But you'll still have fun.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is sort of the ultimate version of the game, where you can find all the content in one place, even from different versions (and it's based on the Dreamcast version). So there's lots of characters, levels, a gallery of bonus material and other content. But it's not a good experience. It's full of bugs, often major ones, that often make it impossible to progress through the game.

They don't make games like that anymore, and Ninja Gaiden 2 Black shows that this is a game with roots that go back almost 20 years. It's overly bloody, overly provocative, but it suits the game. Just like the dynamic action gameplay that won't let you breathe a sigh of relief. What's more, there's still a decent level of challenge to keep you going and motivated to improve. It's just a shame that, after all this time, the developers haven't tried to tweak a few things.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a great game to play. It always has been and always will be. What's more, you can enjoy it with a friend in local co-op, which adds to the fun. The problem is that this remaster feels too basic. Nintendo has got a little lazy compared to the remasters at the start of the Switch generation, which brought a wagonload of new content.

G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is an example of a game that doesn't make you feel anything - positive or negative, just nothing. I'd go as far as to say it's a useless game. It's not a bad game, it's not a good game, it's just an uninspiring grey mediocrity that you'll forget about five minutes after you finish it, if you force yourself to finish it at all.

The Thing: Remastered brings back to life the unjustly forgotten survival horror game that, while never achieving the cult status of its cinematic predecessor, still offers an interesting gameplay experience with mechanics that still feel fresh and new today. Unfortunately, the game also suffers from some of the original's shortcomings, such as very weak AI and a drop in pacing and atmosphere towards the end.

8.5 / 10.0 - The Holy Gosh Darn
Dec 11, 2024

Fancy something fun, funny, creative, sarcastic and intelligent all at the same time? In The Holy Gosh Darn you'll get it all, in the form of one of the best adventure games of the year, with a brilliantly written script that's very hard to get away from.

It's refreshing to play the Soul Reaver games again after so many years in one big, beautifully enhanced package. So you have a new opportunity to (once again) play a pair of games in a unique and mysterious world with a wonderfully interwoven story and charismatic characters. Whether you're a newcomer or a veteran of the originals, there's something here for everyone.
