7.5 / 10.0 - Song of Iron
Sep 27, 2021

Song of Iron is a very successful one-man effort that delivers an impressive action-platformer with a combination of exploration, combat and obstacle overcoming. The game has a great atmosphere and a very hilarious soundtrack which, if you're a fan and liked the soundtrack of the Vikings series for example, you'll be thrilled to hear. Unfortunately the game is quite short and the combat could use a bit more depth or variety. If you like platformers with obstacle climbing and are tempted to wander through the very well crafted Nordic world, then you will not go wrong with this game.

8.5 / 10.0 - HighFleet
Sep 25, 2021

HighFleet is really a very successful game that combines several gameplay elements together and greatly revitalizes the shoot 'em up genre with new elements. In terms of sophistication and the combination of several gameplay elements, this is a brilliant title that definitely impresses. However, there are flaws, especially within the chaos that immediately falls upon the player in the first few hours before they become more familiar with everything. However, if you give this game a chance and spend a few hours getting to grips with the game's principles, controls and mechanisms, it becomes a definite time guzzler.

8.5 / 10.0 - Layers of Fear
Sep 22, 2021

Layers of Fear is a very good horror adventure game with an original story, a great atmosphere and a compulsion that will pull you further and further. However, the game is quite short and can be run through in nearly an hour and a half of gameplay. If you put in a little effort and focus on exploring the various documents that lead more towards explaining the story and your character, you'll get to two hours of pure game time. It should be added, however, that this is only one playthrough. The game offers three different final endings, and therefore different renditions of the final image. So if you want to see all the available endings, then the game will keep you entertained for seven hours of your time.

8.5 / 10.0 - Crysis Remastered
Sep 17, 2021

Crysis Remastered is hard to rate because it is a great game in a new graphical coat. Thus, it is a quality FPS that offers a first-class gaming experience, an interesting story and a lot of gaming fun. The game is mainly brought down by the fps drop and optimization in some situations, the lack of the Warhead datadisc and the weaker AI in places. However, if you want to reminisce about a title that broke gaming and technical benchmarks, or if you want to play an honest FPS and are playing Crysis for the first time, you'll get a great serving of fun in a beautiful graphical coat.

Strategic Mind: The Pacific is a hilarious turn-based strategy game that relies on historically accurate aspects and units, which is definitely one of the game's biggest draws. However, it certainly won't be for everyone and may be rather frustrating for the casual gamer. However, if you like turn-based strategies where you have to really think and take care of your army and units, this is a very good game.

8.5 / 10.0 - Jupiter Hell
Sep 8, 2021

Jupiter Hell is a great Doom-style roguelike game that offers action and fun. It is clearly one of the best roguelike titles in its genre, both in terms of gameplay and sophistication. The game is a must-have for strategy fans and curious Doom fans alike. The unique pacing brings something new, fresh and definitely action-packed to the turn-based genre. Someone just really put a lot of thought into this game.

Arcanium: Rise of Akhan is a very enjoyable card title that brilliantly combines board game elements with the roguelike genre. There is a really strong sense of inspiration from great movie and game titles, which is definitely a good thing. The game has nice appealing graphics and the individual cards are very hilarious. However, the gameplay is tying in certain aspects and definitely deserves more freedom. Other than that, however, this is a good card game that, if you are a fan of the genre, will certainly entertain you. Arcanium definitely has a lot of potential and a lot of promise, so we can only hope that the developers will make the most of it.

6.5 / 10.0 - Vampyr
Aug 31, 2021

Vampyr is a pretty good detective adventure game with a very good story, gloomy atmosphere and difficult moral decisions. It is an original idea, but the developers could have gotten more out of it. Maybe next time they won't focus on the spasmodic inclusion of LGBT people, which some proud representatives of this community have objected to in the Steam discussions, and will also focus on the gameplay mechanics.

8 / 10.0 - Mad Tower Tycoon
Aug 28, 2021

Mad Tower Tycoon is definitely a nice twist on the Tycoon building genre, offering a glimpse into the construction and operation of a large high-rise building. The title also combines elements of elegance well with the real needs of people, building maintenance, as well as funny and crazy situations. Unfortunately, the game has a rather complex user interface, so you need to carefully go through the tutorial. However, if you give it a chance and you like tycoon simulators, the game will reward you with hours of your time.

7.5 / 10.0 - Patron
Aug 28, 2021

Patron is a more difficult and modern version of Banished, both in practical and factual terms. The game offers an elaborate social system, an extensive research tree, but also the ability to issue various decrees that can cause your citizens to rebel. For fans of the genre, a clear choice that will keep you entertained, however the lack of any campaign or larger goal may strike some players with a certain emptiness. Perhaps a goal to "build a large monument", such as in the free game in Pharaoh, would have been enough and it would have been immediately a bit more fun. Nevertheless, this is clearly a tasteful game that will find its player and delight them.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a really great and difficult game, it is a challenge for tactical thinking. If you liked the game Commandos, you like real-time strategy, stealth action and you like challenges and Japan, this game is for you. It's no wonder this game is holding high ranks in all the ratings.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a hilarious game set in the alternate world of Wolfenstein. The Nazi Paris of the 80's is really hilarious, you can see the attention to precision and detail. However, the gameplay suffers heavily under the AI and is primarily focused on playing with another live player. Overall, this is an average title that tries to get the most out of the world of Wolfenstein and set it in a modern gameplay setting.

6.5 / 10.0 - Garbage
Aug 15, 2021

Garbage is definitely not garbage to throw away. The overall gameplay is very hilarious, the survival elements, base building and homeless gang exercises are very catchy and addictive, all wrapped up with a humorous touch. The brisk progression through the game within the variety of environments and skills also adds to the beauty here. If you want a hilarious survival of the homeless, on a relaxing note with Czech localization, then the game fulfills its purpose perfectly.

7 / 10.0 - DiRT 5
Aug 11, 2021

Dirt 5 is a very good title that revives the arcade racing genre and combines it with nice graphics, music and effects. Even without DLC, the game offers a fairly long career mode, a variety of real cars, well-designed tracks and a mix of different racing events and styles. So if you are one of those gamers who want to race, so to speak, to relax, enjoy the graphics and fine music, Dirt 5 is a clear choice.

6.5 / 10.0 - Kona
Aug 9, 2021

Kona is a tasteful walking simulator that tries to combine survival elements with detective point and click gameplay. However, as the game takes place virtually over the course of a day and night, you'll find certain elements rather confining at times. In terms of gameplay, however, this is a very enjoyable piece of work with puzzle solving opportunities. However, the last part of the game, which had a real charge and atmosphere, flew by very quickly.

8.5 / 10.0 - Encased
Jul 31, 2021

Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG is a title that is a very entertaining, and most importantly, a fresh addition to the ranks of post-apocalyptic role-playing games. This is a highly polished and sophisticated RPG that gives you the opportunity to really empathise with the character you have created. Throughout the gameplay there is a great deal of freedom and the ability to handle different situations in your own way. The world and the environment then continually reacts to these situations, making you feel all the better for playing. The bet on the inspiration of Picnic by the Roadside and Fallout clearly paid off.

9 / 10.0 - Chernobylite
Jul 28, 2021

I was very pleasantly surprised by Chernobylite, especially since I've been following the game practically since it was announced. The game provides a great alternative view of the Chernobyl disaster. It combines well the elements of non-linear gameplay with the main story, influencing the environment while also incorporating elements of FPS and stealth. Graphically, this is one of the best works I've had the chance to play in a while, not only in terms of the environment graphics, but also in terms of overall design and gameplay. The atmosphere is complemented well by the sound effects, including the dubbing. The trip to Chernobyl's Exclusion Zone paid off for the developers, and the game definitely has a lot to offer.

Industries of Titan is a very successful strategy game set in the world of cyberpunk with very attractive voxel graphics. Thanks to its concept and setting, it clearly becomes a very original choice for lovers of building games, also thanks to the possibility to build various equipment inside buildings. As well as allowing you to equip your own battleships and toy with the idea of colonising Titan. The developers from Brace Yourself Games have done a decent amount of work already and we can only hope that they will get the game to the final stage as soon as possible.

Eximius: Seize the Frontline is a rather hilarious hybrid of FPS/RTS genres that could be a great and very entertaining title. However, the game is reliant on other players, which unfortunately there aren't many of, as virtually no one plays the game. You may find yourself "spinning" around with a bunch of people over and over again.

Apr 17, 2021

The Dark Eye: Memoria is practically based on its predecessor, which it certainly does not disgrace. The game beautifully complements the overall story and elegantly concludes it. It's a shame, however, that the game is accompanied by the same mischief as its predecessor. The characters come across as austere and stiff, with no distinctive feel. This fact is all the more accentuated by the failed dubbing, which unfortunately detracts from the overall enjoyment of the atmosphere and enjoyment of an otherwise good game.
