Finishing The Banner Saga 3 gave me a sense of accomplishment. Even though I did not manage to save everyone, the world will live to see another day. Wounds heal, conflicts eventually wear off, life will ultimately prevail, and that's one of the many things The Banner Saga 3 is teaching us.

You can find Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War on GOG and Steam, and if you like TBS games and you're not afraid of a challenge, you should really give it a try.

7 / 10.0 - Gray Dawn
Jul 30, 2018

The only downside to the formula adopted by Interactive Stone is that they have clearly exaggerated with the religious iconography. Apart from that, and a few design issues, Gray Dawn is a short but deep immersion into the human subconscious, an exposition of the endless battle between good and evil.

7 / 10.0 - Vampyr
Jul 29, 2018

Ultimately, Vampyr is definitely a game worth playing, even if just for the moral choices and the fine character building Dontnod managed to achieve. Don't get this one if you're expecting a combat-heavy RPG with your favorite vampire character.

Even if you're playing this after you've seen the movie, it's still bad. It's even worse if you're playing the game without knowing the context. In any case, Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard is a game that needs to be avoided at all cost. It's a waste of time and resources, for you and the studio that made it.

It's not a bad game, by any measure, but it's not good either. And that's the worst place to be in for a game is a market that's dominated by mediocrity.

Despite its shortcomings, Dark Souls Remastered is a welcome release that will hopefully breathe new life into the community and multiplayer activity with both new and old players. It may also be the last "souls game" release for quite some time, given From Software's latest endeavours.

6.5 / 10.0 - The Crew 2
Jul 1, 2018

The only motivation to play the game is to get more loot and improve the existing cars. While it's not all that glamorous, it's undoubtedly a much worthier pursuit than getting followers. Despite all the cool features that are touted, it the end is just a soulless racing game that doesn't excel at anything but also doesn't really fail in any significant way.

All in all, I think that Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr should provide more than a satisfactory experience. Just don't look too much under the hood or try to find the reasons behind some of the developer's decisions. It's a decent exploration of the Warhammer universe, and it's more than capable of gobbling up your hours, if you're not careful.

8 / 10.0 - Omensight
May 30, 2018

Last but not least, I have mixed feelings about the ending. I strongly believe that such a complex game that offers players meaningful choices that could directly influence major elements in the story should have multiple endings.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is hands down one of the best RPGs launched in the last couple of years, but I'm more anxious to learn when we'll get PoE III since the ending of Deadfire is awesome in a painful way.

Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time may be a first decent title in the beloved anime series, but Bandai Namco takes into consideration a second game, the formula must be completely reworked.

7.5 / 10.0 - Destiny 2 - Warmind
May 17, 2018

We can only hope that Bungie will have learned the lessons of the first Destiny and give us the things that we desire, and not just what they planned a long time ago.

As far as the single player content goes, I would say that Monster Hunt is even better than Dungeon Run. Its high replayability and the element of RNG make Monster Hunt the funniest single player experience ever created by the folks behind Hearthstone.

Obviously, Galactic Civilizations III: Intrigue is now without its flaws, but it appears that Stardock managed to considerably reduce the number to just a few. Although almost every aspect of the base game has been improved, I feel that some of the newly added features need a bit of balancing or tweaking.

9.5 / 10.0 - Frostpunk
Apr 23, 2018

I can only hope that players won't be discouraged by the insanely difficult learning curve because I promise you, on the other end is a beautiful game that everyone has to experience.

8.5 / 10.0 - God of War
Apr 12, 2018

Despite these shortcomings, I believe the God of War series is in good hands, and I wouldn't want anyone else touching it but Santa Monica Studio. Here is hoping greater times are coming to Midgard in the not so distant future.

5.5 / 10.0 - World of Warriors
Apr 2, 2018

Even though developers have removed most of the freemium aspects of the mobile version, World of Warriors remains a shallow experience that you'll want to replace as quickly as possible. While there are some positive like the cute art style, there isn't much else that's couldn't be classified as mediocre at best.

9 / 10.0 - Far Cry 5
Mar 29, 2018

Even if we ignore the ridiculous quantity of content, and we focus only on the main storyline, we still get an amazing experience. Far Cry 5 is not the game we actually expected, but it's exactly what we should have wanted in the first place.

In the end, if you fancy going for better loot, fight more powerful enemies, and unlock all kinds of cool items, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 seems like a dream come true. Even with the bugs and the slightly unbalanced system, it's a game that still tricks me somehow into playing just one more map.
