Bogdan Robert Mateș's Reviews

When not brewing coffee or debating serious topics with my cat, you'll either find me playing video games or writing about them.
86 / 100 - Mosaic
Dec 5, 2019

Mosaic paints all its scenes with great care and, while it might be a slow burner, it’s as cerebral as it is emotional and tells an enthralling story.

86 / 100 - The Swapper
Nov 25, 2013

Clay, consciousness, space. The Swapper is a homogenous mixture of elements that fit together just well. When you look back at it, it’s hard to find too many things that are objectively broken.

85 / 100 - Metro Exodus
Mar 1, 2019

Walk along to Metro Exodus' slower pace, take your time with what it has to show and tell, and you'll be in for one of the most powerful post-apocalyptic journeys out there.

84 / 100 - Unruly Heroes
Jan 23, 2019

Varied gameplay, fluid animations and beautiful landscapes make Unruly Heroes a platformer that's not to be missed.

The people over at Tindalos Interactive have done their homework providing, through Battlefleet: Gothic Armada, an excellent Warhammer 40k experience and the first proper 40k game we've had in quite a while.

Apr 28, 2018

Frostpunk is an engrossing survival city builder that doesn't shun away from requiring difficult decisions on the player's part.

Aug 26, 2018

Guacamelee! 2 is not only a blast to play through but also one of the most stylish and recognizable Metroidvanias to date.

82 / 100 - Finding Paradise
Dec 17, 2017

t’s this brilliant mixture of wonderful music and touching narrative that made To The Moon a game I can recommend to anyone. It’s why I’ll do the same with Finding Paradise’s admittedly different, yet still powerful tale.

82 / 100 - Rise & Shine
Jan 12, 2017

It is a game that shows awareness of the past, both through mechanics and the inclusion of classic characters in its universe. I only wish there would have been more of Rise & Shine’s adventures before the credits rolled.

82 / 100 - SteamWorld Heist
Jul 22, 2016

SteamWorld Heist is a great follow-up to 2013's SteamWorld Dig. It's a charming title and a great experience that, nevertheless, requires you to think about how you approach every scenario. The manual aiming adds a layer of challenge and complexity to it.

82 / 100 - Furi
Jul 14, 2016

Furi is a delight to play through. Its fast-paced combat and reliance on both good reflexes and getting a feel of every fight’s rhythm, alongside a very genuine sense of satisfaction when you beat a boss make for a very good action game.

Unless you were expecting something entirely different from the series, it’s irrelevant whether you’re a new or an old player. Shadowrun: Hong Kong is definitely worth grabbing and playing through at least once as it lies on the higher spectrum of available cyberpunk RPGs.

81 / 100 - Grim Dawn
Feb 29, 2016

What Grim Dawn does is make us focus on how ARPGs once were. It is not the fast-paced click-fest leaning towards accessibility that Diablo 3 is and neither is it the complex behemoth that Path of Exile has evolved into.

Superhot: Mind Control Delete's focus on improvisation and rogue-lite elements excellently complement its "time moves only when you move" core gameplay loop and distinctive aesthetic, making it a first-person shooter that fans of the genre shouldn't miss.

8 / 10.0 - Deathloop
Sep 20, 2021

Hiding in plain sight using an upgraded Aether slab and surprising and invading Julianna with a swift machete stab she never saw coming.

Crusader Kings 3: Royal Court adds plenty of flavor and introduces new ways to obtain bonuses for your realm while fleshing out how deeply you can interact with it. The feature that gives it its name isn't as grand as it could be, due to repeating events and a 3D space that becomes a bit boring to look at even if you change its architectural style.
