SpongeBob SquarePants The Cosmic Shake is a decent platformer, but no more than that. Occasional brilliant moments of pure acting excellence and acceptable comedy are simply insufficient to distinguish this game from the genre's not-so-strong competition. Make no mistake, this game can be fun, but it lacks that certain something that would make it an easy recommendation to fans of platformers.

Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is a very good racer shooter title that will satisfy all your needs for this sort of mayhem, but if you're searching for perfection, you won't find it here, because this title has some serious shortcomings.

70 / 100 - FragPunk
Mar 12, 2025

FragPunk feels like a decent and polished effort from Bad Guitar Studios with its unique shard card system and Lancers, and it is here to stay. However, considering the current monetisation system, the game's earning potential will remain limited, as the whole mobile game microtransaction system won't really work for players who are accustomed to straightforward stores of Fortnite and Call of Duty.

70 / 100 - Eternal Strands
Jan 27, 2025

Eternal Strands dazzles with breathtaking visuals and thrilling boss fights, but its convoluted story, underwhelming gameplay elements, and wrong design choices hold it back from reaching its full potential.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins can initially be quite enjoyable, especially during large-scale battles which are a true spectacle but it gets a bit dull the longer you play. Combined with a fairly average visual presentation and a soundtrack that feels out of place it's hard to recommend Dynasty Warriors: Origins to a casual gamer looking for the next great game to play.

If Stalker 2 didn't have so many serious performance issues and bugs, it would be my Game of the Year. It has a great story, memorable characters, a unique world to explore, and great visual presentation - pretty much everything to keep you immersed for hours.

If you're a MechWarrior series fan, you won't be disappointed with MechWarrior 5: Clans. This is a game you've been waiting for; made with passion and love and that's truly visible at every corner. For newcomers, there's a lot of fun to be had here too so definitely give it a go if you have an active Game Pass subscription.

Choose the fighter, roam the streets and beat the tar out of everyone who crosses your path—that's pretty much The Karate Kid: Sreet Rumble in a nutshell.

70 / 100 - Creatures of Ava
Aug 5, 2024

High-quality graphics, charming art style, and emotionally touching moments in the story can be a good reason to give Creatures of Ava a chance; at least, who knows, you might even like it. Especially because the game will be available on Game Pass from the launch day, so if you own this subscription, by all means, try it.

If, like me, you're a fan of a compelling single-player campaign and that's the sole reason you're considering playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, it's advisable to save your money for a more rewarding experience.

My Time at Sandrock is a relaxing and fun farming simulator but players will need to invest a decent amount of time to get to the part of the game where it becomes enjoyable. The inventory system is one of the best systems I have seen in a long time and the NPCs are interesting to interact with as every chat brings something new.

RoboCop: Rogue City stands as a sturdy shooter with a decent story and gameplay. With more careful balancing, it had the potential to be significantly better.

70 / 100 - Redfall
May 2, 2023

Despite some obvious flaws, Redfall is still an enjoyable experience even if you don't have a buddy or two to help you out in staking those bloodsuckers in co-op. Arkane once again managed to create an immersive, atmospheric world with their signature environmental storytelling and gameplay. While Redfall definitely isn't the studio's strongest game to date and can feel a bit undercooked I couldn't put it down as I had a blast wandering around the vampire-infested streets and countryside of this cosy American town.

I consider Lost Valley a must-buy if you already have the base game. Steam reviews for it are currently a bit iffy, owing to the aforementioned game-breaking bugs that have been fixed since but you will rarely find this much content being sold for $13 / €13 / £11.

Expeditions: Rome is a game with high points in storytelling and gameplay alike but the latter aspect has some glaring issues that drag it back quite a bit. Without too much eye candy, the game strives to show you the world and help you immerse into it, instead of expecting you to look at it as if you were window shopping.

Tandem: A Tale of Shadows has a lot of unused potential and some parts of the game almost seem unfinished or discarded mid-development but it still manages to deliver an experience well worth your time, should you decide to grab it.

7 / 10 - New World
Oct 8, 2021

New World can be described as a work in progress, one that is of very high quality, with the core game's mechanics being in place and ready to take the brunt of a top-tier title, but there is still not enough meat on the figurative bones.

World Splitter is held back by elements such as storytelling or any form of character for either you or NPCs, which may be a result of budget restraints. That said, World Splitter is a puzzle game and as such, characters and storytelling should never take priority over gameplay and level design, which is something NeoBird obviously understood very well.

7 / 10 - Scarlet Nexus
Jun 23, 2021

With engaging and varied combat, gorgeous visuals and a memorable soundtrack, Scarlet Nexus is definitely worth your time, especially if you call yourself a fan of anime media. On the other hand, repetitive missions, the story which feels like a drag and lack of meaningful progress hurt the overall experience, which could have been much much more. Still, we recommend you give this one a go!
