7 / 10 - GTFO
Feb 5, 2022

GTFO is an exciting title. There hasn't been anything quite like it before, but the somewhat unfriendly difficulty and length of the missions may put many people off unnecessarily. Those who can, however, won't go wrong by giving this game a chance.

In many ways, Eternal Threads is an interactive film rather than a game, which doesn't quite tell a conventional game or film story. Rather, it is a glimpse into the lives of six English tenants while you're trying to save their lives. So while the game probably won't win any prestigious awards, it will nevertheless stick in the memory for its almost uncanny ordinariness.

Midnight Suns is a title that cannot be easily described or recommended. It's a peculiar combination of a functional and addictive card-based combat system with something that shows hints of games like Fire Emblem. Building relationships with Marvel heroes is an integral part of this title, and the developers, if nothing else, have to be credited for going for something like this. Plenty of things and aspects could have been less or vastly improved upon, but all around, this game goes its way, and those it's designed for have dozens of hours of fun ahead of them.

The new Lords of the Fallen does many things well and stands with both feet very solidly on the ground. But also against a strong wind at the same time. It stumbles here and there in its parts. For veterans of souls-like titles, though, this is a great experience that shouldn't be missed as the technical issues are gradually resolved.

6 / 10 - Hellpoint
Jan 3, 2021

Hellpoint had the potential to be something more than it is. Every prerequisite for a good Dark Souls clone was there and the basic gameplay or combat system feels good enough. Alas, the game doesn't excel at anything and isn't capable to rise from the shadow of its stronger opponents.

Some will hate this game; others will love it. That's how it goes, and in the case of Rainbow Six Extraction, it's all the more apparent. The potentially fast-approaching stereotype may put many players off, while others will love the accessible gameplay loop. Meanwhile, the game's style forces you to try all the operators' work brilliantly. The whole game works brilliantly. It's a shame that it flaunts the name Rainbow Six, which doesn't suit it given the subject matter, and that it shows some graphical age, mainly due to the seven-year-old Rainbow Six Siege on which it's based.

6 / 10 - Wanderer
Feb 18, 2022

Wanderer is a good game, brought down by the fluctuating quality of a few minor parts. Whether we're talking about the story, the audiovisual design, or the gameplay, fortunately, it still holds above average thanks to its puzzles, time travel concept, and other great ideas.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is ultimately quite enjoyable for a couple of evenings. It's not exactly deep - both in story and gameplay - but it's quite competently enjoyable for longer nights.

Crash Team Rumble is an interesting competitive game about picking "apples" and beating the other team. It has a solid base that, unfortunately, lacks enough sauce. The small number of maps, characters, and one single mode - despite their uniqueness and differences from each other - unfortunately doesn't make up for the fact that this game fails on lack of depth and content.

LEGO Bricktales scores where it matters most, and that's good. It's just a shame that it's a title wrapped around mediocre content that doesn't always work in its favor.

New Tales from the Borderlands could easily have been a hit if there was a more exciting story. Or at least the game devoted more to it than barely two of the five episodes. And it's a real shame because, as it stands, it's just like a pretty funny sitcom, but without a story and with an otherwise pretty strong foundation that just resulted in a pretty unmemorable experience, even though it had a perfect start.

4 / 10 - Redfall
May 6, 2023

Redfall, simply put, is a disappointment. What else can be said? In the end, uninteresting gameplay, untapped potential, boring or first-rate systems... We don't know what went wrong in Arkane Austin. But this really isn't the game we expected from them. Or anyone, for that matter.

The new Settlers have simply failed. There's no more straightforward or more roundabout way to put it. This is not the game the fans deserved. And it's certainly not the game the franchise as a whole deserved on its 30th anniversary.
