Mechwarrior 5 Can Be a Thrill - If You've Never Played Games

Mechwarrior series comes back after years with a number suggesting a game that takes advantage of years of development and iterations of previous installments. Unfortunately, the only mildly interesting reaction to this game can be a yawn.

Biomutant Review: A Fuzzy-Wuzzy Fable

Don’t be fooled by its cuddly-looking characters with silly names. Biomutant is a robust and enthralling RPG with a lot to offer and plenty of ways to see it play out.

Of Bird and Cage Review - Where Games and Music Meet

Another walking sim? Not this time! Of Bird and Cage is a unique blend of action-adventure game and metal album, created by people who spent more time in bands (such as Guns N’ Roses) than among developers. It’s a blast to hear. But is it playable at all?

Subnautica: Below Zero: Surviving the Alien Arctic

It is no easy task for a video game to balance calming exploration gameplay with high tension heists and a dash of existential horror, but Subnautica: Below Zero does it well.

Smelter Review - Beyond Platforming Heaven And Hell

It’s as if the SNES classics ActRraiser and Mega Man X got married, had a baby, and called it… well, Smelter, which is an awful name, honestly.

MLB The Show 21 Review - If It Ain’t Broke…

If MLB The Show 21 looks familiar to you, that’s because it’s essentially the same game that comes out every year. Notable additions and some improvements in gameplay, however, make it feel like a good investment.

MotoGP 21 Review - Dark Souls of Racing

Do you want to teach someone humility? Buy them MotoGP 21 as a gift. It’ll serve this educational purpose just fine. Yes, you could choose Dark Souls, but that’d be kinda trite, don’t you think? Trust me, MotoGP can be equally unforgiving and punishing…

Before Your Eyes Review - Keep Blinking and Try Not to Cry

I can't remember the last time a game was so close to making me cry. Perhaps it was What Remains of Edith Finch? Yes, these two games have a lot in common, including creative gameplay. To fully experience Before Your Eyes you should have a webcam…

Monster Hunter Rise Review: An Exciting New Chapter in Monster Hunting

A complex and layered RPG experience sugarcoated with hack-and-slash action? It must be the new Monster Hunter Rise. The latest game in the popular series brings some exciting new features, but of course focuses on hunting terrifying monsters.

Lost Words: Beyond the Page Review - a Platformer Like No Other

What looks like an average platformer is in fact one of the most emotional games of recent years. The story of young Izzy will touch your soul, no matter if you’re 14 or 44. The only thing missing is the game's average delivery of pure platformer.
