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.

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.

7.5 / 10.0 - Cartel Tycoon
Apr 16, 2021

Cartel Tycoon is for me a nice and original diversification in the Tycoon genre. The developers sensed an appropriate opportunity and took advantage of the so far clear waters in setting the Tycoon genre in a controversial drug environment. The actual placement in the world of the Latin American drug cartels has really worked out well and there is nothing more to do than wait for the final version of the game.

The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav is undoubtedly a classic in the point-and-click adventure game genre. However, it is clear that this is a game that is more than eight years old at its core and has not undergone any major technical changes. The story is slightly predictable at some stages and the overall impression and enjoyment of the gameplay is spoiled by the setting, or rather the animation of the characters and their dubbing. Although I am a proponent of dubbing in games, especially story-based ones, here I would even prefer if there was no dubbing and the conversations were only within the text.

7.5 / 10.0 - Vaporum: Lockdown
Apr 10, 2021

The game is really good and makes a good name for its predecessor. Vaporum: Lockdown offers a good story in a nice graphic design. However, the large number of items and equipment combined with the solution of various puzzles will also impress, which will torment the cerebral threads. At certain stages, however, the piecemeal movement with the controls is a bit chaotic and can end in death with hasty keystrokes.

8 / 10.0 - Breathedge
Apr 7, 2021

Breathedge brings an interesting combination of story-driven adventure and space survival in the style of Subnautica. Add to that a great crazy story and funny moments, and you're really in for a great time. However, the experience is a bit spoiled by the game's fluctuating difficulty and balance, along with the rather repetitive gameplay and some scripted quests.

8.5 / 10.0 - Ghostrunner
Apr 7, 2021

I find Ghostrunner to be a nice and fresh wind in this genre. Setting the game in cyberpunk was really good. The variety of enemies and the different ways to get to the end point really entertains. If you give Ghostrunner a chance, it literally pulls you in and doesn't let go. However, the game is quite short, about 5 hours of pure gameplay, and after a while it can feel heavily repetitive.

Vampire's Fall Origins is a solid RPG that will keep you entertained, however I think the developers will mainly focus on the mobile version and the PC version was more to attract people to the mobile version. That's why I recommend trying the mobile version of the game first, which is free, and then if you enjoy the game, buy Vampire's Fall Origins on Steam. The game has Czech localization.

8.5 / 10.0 - Black Legend
Mar 25, 2021

Black Legend is a very pleasant surprise for me. Combining real historical elements of the 17th century with alchemy and mythical creatures from folklore into a turn-based strategy game, where you can also combine different job classes with lots of weapons and equipment, is really successful.

8.5 / 10.0 - Mr. Prepper
Mar 18, 2021

I have to say that Mr. Prepper is a pleasant and very fresh surprise for me. Even though I played the prologue, I was smilingly engrossed in the game, which has been given many new items and options. Mr. Prepper is a relaxing and relaxing game that will give your brain cells a nice workout, but at the same time give you a break from action shooters or chases. It should be mentioned that there are rumors of more escape options being added in the future. In addition, the developers are very active and communicate with the community on Steam discussions and Discord channel.

In truth, I probably had high expectations, as did most fans of the show. I was expecting maybe more action scenes, bigger maps or more sophistication and variety in mission completion. Unfortunately, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind didn't deliver anything I was looking forward to. So the only positives for me are the enjoyable play with time and being set in the world of Peaky Blinders. Honestly, if you want a quality RTS in a similar style, reach for Desperados 3 instead - you'll definitely get more fun.
