What can I say to wrap things up? Well, it’s different. It’s almost as if the BioShock brand actually did this game a disservice, because the legacy of the original BioShock was so strong that it’s simply impossible not to compare the two. At the same time, I can’t help but feel that the original setting just suited me better. BioShock Infinite, however, is a great game—just not a completely great BioShock.

To wrap things up this time, I can’t help but wonder: if you haven’t played BioShock, what have you been doing? It’s a true milestone and a major event of its time. A game that, back then, wowed players with its visuals, story, pacing—simply everything. This was a time when, for your money—which, I’ll admit, wasn’t cheap—you got a complete product, and it was definitely worth it. Its quality is evidenced not only by the fact that it spawned two sequels, but also by the fact that it was released on all the major platforms of its time. Plus, today you can pick it up on sale for the price of a nice ice pop—and get the remastered version to boot. The Epic Games Store even gave it away for free... BioShock is, quite simply, an atmospheric FPS with an interesting RPG system and a compelling story set in a truly breathtaking environment.

So should I buy it? You bet I should! It doesn’t matter at all if you’re a pimply teenager or, like me, a gamer who’s a bit of a dad. Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is simply a great game, with a great story, a great atmosphere, and on top of that, it’s really beautiful to look at. I dove right in after watching *Unbeatable Superman*, and at times I felt like I was literally playing a movie. All in all, this is the ultimate version of a great game, and it would be a huge shame to miss out on it.

This game is unique, and if—as with most PlayWay titles—you’re open to its quirkiness, it’s definitely capable of keeping you entertained for quite a while. It’s simple and straightforward enough that you won’t be racking your brain over how to chain combos or outsmart a boss when you get back from vacation. Unfortunately, for what is essentially an interesting little game, it carries a rather steep price tag on Steam. If you decide to give it a try because of the theme, keep in mind that Robocop: Rogue City has a similar concept, roughly the same level of investigative depth, significantly better graphics, a legendary license, and costs almost the same. The decision is up to you; this time, I have to side with the Steam reviews—mixed.

So is this train survival game—straight out of the nightmarish world of Jason Bourne or Archer—worth it? I won’t keep you in suspense, but if you’re in the right frame of mind, it’s probably worth a try after all. It’s a unique mix of a true simulator and pure despair. If you ever watch those bizarre videos on YouTube, TikTok, etc.—compilations of life in Russia—and find them entertaining, you’re a prime candidate for the role of train engineer in this picturesque survival game. If the idea of Train Simulator combined with Postal sounds like an utterly enticing combination to you, you’re also a good candidate. Unfortunately, upon sober evaluation, it’s simply a run-of-the-mill game for now.

A game like this isn’t easy to evaluate, because for casual gamers it would be an absurdly difficult, awful, and not very entertaining simulator—one they’d probably spend a couple of hours on after watching The Hunt for Red October or some other submarine-themed spectacle, and that’s about it. But simulators don’t appeal to casual gamers. They have their own fans, who laugh off complaints about the graphics and difficulty. So now more than ever, it depends on which category you fall into. And even though every modern reviewer scoffs at catchphrases like “if you’re a fan, add two points”—which were so popular in the early days of game reviewing—that’s actually the case with games this niche. I truly believe that the average player will give the game a try, but the flaws will bother them. On the other hand, a fan of the genre—who doesn’t really have much to choose from these days—will be satisfied. I experienced this myself with Western games back in the days before Red Dead Redemption. However, at the time of writing this review, the game cost eight euros on Steam, and that’s an amount I’m willing to spend even for a few hours of entertainment—after all, that’s not even the price of a movie ticket these days.

Fishing Adventure is a simple fishing game that would be more suited to the mobile and tablet platform than a game console. It's too empty and plain for the latter, and it's sold at a relatively high price that is completely inadequate. If the price was somewhere around 50 crowns or 2 euros, the game could be seen as a cheap game to take a momentary break from the hiccups in something more serious, but this way I have no choice but to recommend a wink to the competition.

Mad Max is a brisk open-world actioner that takes advantage of the legendary film franchise it references in its latest installment, and while it goes its own way, it connects the two worlds through some of the locations and characters. A must for fans of the films, genre lovers will not be offended. Unfortunately, like other games of this type, it suffers from a certain repetitiveness, plus it has a weaker story. The solid game time (according to HLTB 20-60 hours), nice graphics and a good driving model are pleasing.
