4 / 10.0 - Truck Driver
Jan 9, 2022

Unfortunately, Truck Driver isn’t a good game, and the only way to change that is to completely overhaul it. In my opinion, however, that won’t happen—partly because the developers are already working on a map expansion, which I assume will be a paid download. If you’re looking for at least a somewhat decent truck simulator on console, go with On The Road: Truck Simulator instead, which I personally consider the lesser of two evils. Essentially, neither of them is any good. As for PC gamers, there’s no need to even consider buying it.

7 / 10.0 - Chorus
Dec 28, 2021

The action-packed space shooter Chorus is a high-quality, entertaining, and enjoyable game that left me with an overall positive impression. Were it not for a few minor shortcomings, such as the untapped potential of the open world or the repetitive side activities, Chorus could have ranked among the best games the gaming world has brought us this year. Even so, the game will appeal to all fans of action games, especially space shooters. On behalf of our editorial team, I’m giving the game seven out of ten points.

My final rating might surprise you, but personally, I have to say that despite the shortcomings I mentioned, I had fun playing it. Of course, if you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality bus simulator, Astragon’s Bus Simulator series will give you a much better sense of what it’s like to be a driver. However, if you just want to put your feet up and are looking for a casual, relaxing game, Bus Driver Simulator can keep you entertained for a while. Personally, though, I recommend waiting for a sale, as the price of €24.99 is simply too high given the quality of the game, and for the same or a similar price, the competition is several tiers above this title.

9.5 / 10.0 - Forza Horizon 5
Dec 16, 2021

Playground Games has managed to create an incredible masterpiece that left me shaking my head in a good way. Forza Horizon 5 has surpassed itself in every way, as well as other similar racing games. The game offers players absolute freedom and an unforgettable experience. Without a second thought, I’m giving it nine and a half out of ten.

TT Isle of Man 2 is undoubtedly better than its predecessor in every way. The developers at KT Racing have significantly refined the driving model and improved the career mode in many respects. However, the series still has a few shortcomings that slightly detract from the overall experience. Despite this, it’s a great game that should be a staple in any racing simulator enthusiast’s library.

The first installment of TT Isle of Man from KT Racing is more of a technical demo that lays a solid foundation for a potentially successful series in the future. We’ll see how the next installment improves in terms of quality, but the first game reviewed here falls into the “above-average” category due to its mediocre graphics and a driving model that sometimes behaves oddly. However, I certainly wouldn’t write off this series just yet; I’d wait and see how the next installment improves in quality.

Crysis Remastered Trilogy was undoubtedly a success, and it shows that remasters of older games don't always have to be a flop. The developers managed to squeeze about as much as they could out of CryEngine in this regard, and Saber Interactive deserves a hat tip for their work. It's just a shame about the bugs in the first game.

5 / 10.0 - Overpass
Nov 7, 2021

Creating an off-road racing simulator to differentiate yourself from the competition is undoubtedly a great idea. However, it also needs to be well crafted, which is definitely not the case with Overpass. Despite the fact that the title offers decent physics where you have to plan your every run, there are many aspects that bring Overpass down to a worse average. These are mainly the outdated graphics, uninteresting career and only two types of races without any sauce around. For the very die-hard fans of off-road racing, we can probably recommend the title with a nod of both eyes and ears even with the aforementioned shortcomings, but for the rest of us, we say hands off.

8 / 10.0 - Riders Republic
Nov 5, 2021

Riders Republic brings a unique experience that offers a large portion of all kinds of adrenaline activities. If you're looking for an open-ended title where you can go crazy and let loose, or if you've played the previous STEEP, Riders Republic is exactly the game you're looking for, and it definitely pushes the boundaries of its predecessor by a considerable length. We'll see what interest players show over time, but already Ubisoft's new sports title is well on its way to success.

6 / 10.0 - Grid
Oct 29, 2021

GRID (2019) unfortunately didn't live up to what was expected of it as a reboot of the franchise. A great racing franchise, the new installment kills off a mostly boring and lengthy career with minimal content, where the truncation of the racing modes is a rather significant step backwards. Even the revolutionary Nemesis system and the great driving model can't make up for the shortcomings that the GRID series reboot has brought.

7 / 10.0 - RiMS Racing
Oct 23, 2021

RiMS Racing is an absolutely unique affair, which will suit especially fans of racing simulators, who are not afraid of new challenges. Realistic physics combining repair and tuning of your machine has succeeded to the first place, and if it weren't for a few unnecessary fouls, I could describe RiMS Racing as a really great game. However, the aforementioned flaws bring the title to its knees, especially the AI and the ever-repetitive circuits. If you happen to be a newcomer to the genre and would like to get RiMS Racing, prepare yourself for long hours of nerves and the fact that the game won't give you anything for free. It makes every success you achieve all the more delicious. For me, seven out of ten.

7.5 / 10.0 - Roboquest
Oct 17, 2021

Indie rogue-lite shooter Roboquest is a real surprise for me in all respects, as I didn't expect this title to make such a pleasant impression on me. So if you are an avid fan of fast-paced shooters and you can get over the fact that you have to finish the game in one go, we can definitely recommend Roboquest on behalf of our editorial team. However, if you are not a patient person and want to relax with the game, you should consider the purchase carefully.

The Tetris Effect: Connected is undoubtedly a great successor to the more than 35-year-old classic, and if you're a Tetris fan or just want to reminisce about your childhood, there's no reason not to get the latest addition to the family. However, you have to swallow the slightly higher price tag than would probably be worthy of a game of this type.

6.5 / 10.0 - Bus Simulator 21
Sep 19, 2021

Bus Simulator 21 is undoubtedly a solid sequel that takes some aspects to a better level. Whether you're a die-hard bus fan and have played the previous installments, or a complete newcomer and don't mind some of the bigger or smaller flaws and bugs, there's no reason not to recommend the new installment. However, if you're not in a hurry to play Bus Simulator 21, you should wait a few weeks until the developers tweak the title at least a little.

Fernbus Simulator is also a decent title that will please especially die-hard fans of bus simulators. The game boasts an extensive map, which even in its basic form offers several dozen hours of gameplay. We must also highlight the presence of a real bus company and the above-average interiors of the buses. The overall impression, on the other hand, is spoiled by the below-average artificial intelligence, optimization and slightly worse controls.

Observer: System Redux from Polish studio Bloober Team is undoubtedly a great psychological horror game from the future. It offers you a good story, nice visuals and a nerve-wracking dark atmosphere, which may not quite reach the more experienced horror gamers. Despite the overall quality, we have to mention a few flaws, which include the same old gameplay, repetitive quests and various overdone effects that may not impress some players. All in all, however, we can definitely recommend Observer: System Redux!

Sep 4, 2021

Lawn Mowing Simulator is an interesting title at first glance, which attracts players primarily by its focus, and after our review we have to say that we were pleasantly surprised in some ways. I can assure you that this is not just another bizarro game, and if some aspects were handled better, Lawn Mowing Simulator could be a good simulator as well. What we must clearly highlight are the licensed machines and their processing, especially in terms of sound, and the presence of some details, such as setting the mower to a certain type of vegetation. However, the same old gameplay and terrible optimization make the title just a mediocre piece that will probably stop being fun for most players after a few hours. We recommend the game only if you have a powerful enough machine and for some reason don't want to play Farming Simulator or some other, better title.

7.5 / 10.0 - Cake Bash
Aug 29, 2021

Cake Bash is another interesting party game, which you will enjoy especially with a bunch of good friends, where you can compare your reflexes against each other and compete in several undemanding disciplines. If you don't want to play any big titles and just want to have fun, this game is exactly what you're looking for.

6.5 / 10.0 - Drone Swarm
Aug 22, 2021

Drone Swarm from Stillalive Studios is a good RTS, in which fast action and above all your nimble reflexes play the main role. Definitely don't expect any strategic planning or much logical thinking. The title boasts an idea that's a little different from most other RTSs, and undoubtedly a great visual component. What disappoints, on the other hand, is the worse optimization and weaker story, which doesn't play such a big role in this type of game.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 4 is undoubtedly an interesting racing title, which, however, in its focus and processing will fit rather die-hard fans of the genre, and thus racing games. The game's well-designed career mode is fun to play, and the constant upgrading and training of your driver works well. We also like the difficult gameplay, which as a player you have to adapt to, and in which any possibility of different driving assistants is eliminated. An equally good aspect is the detailed customisation of the rider, which you can customise to your liking and even use officially licensed clothing to do so. What hurts the game, on the other hand, is the poor AI, mediocre graphics and the unbalanced difficulty of your opponents.
