The Dakar Desert Rally has much potential and won't let you down with its graphics or progression system. However, its driving model is below average, and the title fails to handle the arcade style properly it partly attempts. With flaws in the most critical aspect of a racing game, it isn't easy to recommend.

Kao the Kangaroo will appeal to children and efficiently guide them through its diverse world with simple combat and puzzles. For a more mature audience, however, the mechanics will be overly primitive, and a closer look at the graphics won't please them either.

5 / 10 - GRID Legends
Apr 5, 2022

Grid Legends is a mediocre title that offers little to nothing of interest. You'll be treated to a predictable story, a weak driving model, and outdated visuals. While it's still a decent racing game, it doesn't stand a chance against its competition.

Far: Changing Tides is an interesting simplistic game with a great atmosphere. You will spend most of the time on your travels admiring the beautiful graphics and solving puzzles. However, the developers have gone a little further than they should with their artistic ambitions, and even if you're a fan of similar relaxing games, you may get bored at times.

Techland's Dying Light 2 builds on the previous installment and introduces fresh, fun gameplay and a cleverly designed open world that you'll be happy to spend dozens of hours in, despite the weaker story. This is an excellent, refreshing game that creatively blends RPG elements, a fun combat system, and fluid movement. You shouldn't play Dying Light 2 for the story's sake, but you'll enjoy it if you want something other than just another generic shooter.

7 / 10 - Halo Infinite
Dec 6, 2021

With Halo Infinite, 343 Industries is looking to innovate on an established franchise. Yet despite the new additions, such as the semi-open world, the core game design still feels a bit dated and it seems that the developers didn't know how to actually handle the new features. The graphics are better, but have plenty of problems. Even though Master Chief is more agile, you still have to play passively. The world is unimaginative and the quests feel monotonous. Fortunately though, what Halo did right before, it does right now, and the varied enemies, along with the huge arsenal of weapons, will definitely keep existing fans entertained. For everyone else, however, this title is more of an above-average game that tries to push its boundaries but still fails to break away from slightly outdated gameplay mechanics.

Lost Words: Beyond the Page offers a great story alongside some creative gameplay and fun ideas. It's a shame these ideas aren't further developed and puzzles are just too simple.

6 / 10 - Rogue Company
Feb 14, 2021

Rogue Company tries to be a new type of competitive shooter. Unfortunately, its concept is doomed to fail from the start. On the other hand, if you won't take the game too seriously you will have some fun with its interesting characters and nice graphics.

9 / 10 - The Pathless
Dec 12, 2020

The Pathless is a short yet fun-packed title with an atmosphere that you don't see very often. A variety of environments, music, puzzles, and untraditional movement system work together to make this a unique game that brings something new to the gaming industry.

With Immortals Fenyx Rising Ubisoft had created something that even with its flaws offers more than most AAA games. If it wasn't for sometimes simpler game design, this could have been one of the best games from this studio.

Star Wars: Squadrons has great flight mechanics, graphics, and highly detailed cockpits that will make you feel immersed in its epic battles. Unfortunately, it falls short in form of only 6 maps and boring consmetics. Perhaps developers should have focused on adding more multiplayer content and fixing unfair matchmaking instead of making an average campaign.

9 / 10 - DiRT 5
Nov 12, 2020

Dirt 5 brings new and innovative elements to the series while keeping true to its roots. With enough tracks, dynamic weather, and comunity made maps, Dirt 5 is one of the best racing arcade games you can play at the moment.

6 / 10 - Rocket Arena
Sep 27, 2020

Rocket Arena is a fun and innovative game with a big monetization problem. Due to the lack of players, the game is burdened by a long times of matchmaking system and the absence of competitive modes. In addition, it does not contain a large number of maps and you will even find a paid battle pass in it.

7 / 10 - Hyper Scape
Aug 23, 2020

Hyper Scape is a decent game that brings something new to the table. Unfortunately, it is flawed with lazy game design, bugs and below-average optimization. On the other hand, the game is still fun and therefore probably something that you should try out.

This remake of good old yet still flawed Spongebob game is a big disappointment. Not only it doesn't improve on any of the issues from the original game but it also adds new ones such as bugs and boring multiplayer. The title suffers from an obsolete game design that developers failed to address. On the other hand, the graphics are nice and the characters are just as enjoyable as they were in the original.

8 / 10 - MotoGP 20
Jun 7, 2020

MotoGP 20 is a great racing game with solid physics and nice selection of game modes. Unfortunately its carrier mode feels bland and sounds of the motorcycles are questionable. On the other hand, most of the game's flaws are small and can be easily overlooked if you are a fan of this type of racing.

May 18, 2020

Lightmatter surprises with a great story, visuals, and world-building. Unfortunately, it doesn't introduce enough new mechanics for puzzles to be interesting for the entirety of the game.

8 / 10 - Gears Tactics
May 6, 2020

Gears Tactics is a great fast-paced strategy game with cleverly designed systems to keep the player engaged. It won't go without its flaws such as mandatory side missions and some UI imperfections. It successfully innovates by the absence of the grid system which gives the player more freedom and makes for a better experience. Overall Gears Tactics is definitely a game worth playing.

4 / 10 - Pathologic 2
Mar 25, 2020

Pathologic 2 is an interesting game that's flawed by poor use of its mechanics and boring gameplay loop. The story would be definitely worth exploring if it weren't for the terrible optimization and constant loading screens.
