Taxi Life becomes another addition to the long line of unpolished simulators. Barcelona may be a lovely city entire of sun, but a strange driving model, monotonous conversations with passengers, and repetitive tasks ruin the overall experience. A little more effort could have made the final game much better. Right now, though, it is an experience meant only for actual city driving enthusiasts.

Expeditions left a good impression. It sticks to the successful MudRunner or SnowRunner style of terrain simulations. There could be more variety of content, but we got exactly what we expected.

EA Sports FC 24 is the next FIFA, with all its pluses and minuses.

Better games in the platforming genre will entertain you much more. But this one is designed primarily for children; from this perspective, it is the ideal choice for beginners and younger players. Plus, the support for up to four players on one screen directly encourages fun family nights.

Gran Turismo 7 makes slight additions to the vastly improved Gran Turismo Sport. But the new installment blows its older brother out of the water in terms of content. Those who liked the fifth and sixth installments will be at home in the seventh. Aside from a few shortcomings, it's a great racing experience that even newcomers will enjoy thanks to the assists, while the matadors will buzz with joy. The cars behave exactly as you'd expect in situations.

Farming Simulator 22 has taken a few steps forward and a few steps back. The amount of content can't make up for the lack of dynamic terrain and poor AI. But the production chains are a nice and sophisticated novelty. Those who like farming and these simulators will still enjoy the game. Moreover, the handy community will gradually create interesting modifications, including more elaborate maps.

Definitive Edition? Such a term is unfit for the GTA trilogy. GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas remasters are half-baked, full of mistakes, bugs, and plenty of ugly things, such as weird faces and animations. We really can't believe this is the Rockstar now, but here we are.

Bus Simulator 21 wasted its potential at the very beginning of its existence. During the first few weeks, the game was unplayable. Eventually, though, the situation got better. Various weather and day/night cycle were done nicely. The graphics have made a major step-up and there's enough content to explore. Next time, however, it would be better for the developers to focus on the game's key principles. Less is more. At least in this case.

6 / 10 - Ride 4
Dec 6, 2020

Ride 4 is very complex motorbike racing game with lot of content and dynamic weather and day/time system. But riding system is bit odd, AI is very limited and game is also in some moments too difficult.

8 / 10 - F1 2020
Oct 25, 2020

It becomes more and more obvious that we're at the end of a generation. Thus, games are starting to suffer. However, Codemasters handled these problems pretty well and brought some nice updates to The Queen of Motorsports official videogame. My Team mode breathes a new life into the F1.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is a dream come true for any fan of this skateboarding legend. The developers have done a tremendous job by building the well-known levels from scratch, adding the shine and polish of the modern era. By doing so, they've created one of the best remakes ever made.

Can you think of anything related to action racers? Then there's a high possibility of it being wrong in the game. It's hard to look for positives on Fast and Furious - you'll spend most of the playtime being bored and telling yourself that even most of the last gen games didn't look as bad as this one. Unfortunately, this is another title in the line of stillborn licensed games.

If you loved the first two Project Cars installments, you'll ve dissapointed. On the contrary, if you're looking for something new in the Forza Motorsport/ Gran Turismo style and you liked GRID and maybe crave a long career with lots of content, you've found your game. Project Cars 3 isn't a bad title. It just lost its identity, aiming to please larger number of players. However, it still offers a great number of content and a decent racing experience, even though it's a bit more arcade-ish.

Asseto Corsa Competizione is very well made racing simulator, which will please all the fans. On the other hand, casual players could be easily bored with lack of game content and bad optimalization on consoles. If you love endurance races, driving in the nigt and if you are able to appreciate dynamic wether systems and great feeling from driving the GT3 cars, Asseto Corsa Competizione is just for you.

7 / 10 - Maneater
Jun 6, 2020

Maneater isn't a game for everybody. Fans of Jaws and similar movies will enjoy an interesting and original adventure set in the ocean world and brutal, bloody fights with other predators and shark hunters. The game suffers from stereotypical quests and worse technical side.

7 / 10 - SnowRunner
May 18, 2020

SnowRunner is a perfect off-road simulation. It is a complex game with tons of content and great challenge. You can spend dozens of hours playing it. There've been some improvements since MudRunner. The technical part, however, lowers the final verdict by two points with lots of mistakes that have negative impact on the gameplay and with worse graphics. That's why our recommendation stopped at 7/10. Otherwise, it would be a 9/10, because in its genre, SnowRunner is unrivalled.

This is how motorbike games should be done. First instalment of TT Isle of Man had good foundations, but number two significantly improved on these. The developers worked on a proper feeling from speed and created pretty solid racing that tolerates little and doesn't excuse any mistakes. If you like challenges, this is a game for you. Just expect worse graphics. And there could also be more content available.

5 / 10 - Overpass
Apr 13, 2020

Overpass is a mediocre off-road simulator that we appreciate for its originality, physics and difficulty. However, we notice the flaws and mistakes indicating the developer's fine job was, in fact, only half-done. What a shame.

6 / 10 - AO Tennis 2
Mar 28, 2020

A burnt child dreads the fire, as they say. The developers of AO Tennis risked and it paid off. AO Tennis 2 isn't a bad game and the bet on community content seems like the right one for a less expensive game. When you get over the initial feelings and the controls get under your skin, you'll get to enjoy AO Tennis 2.
