Bus Simulator 21 Review: Realistically Mundane
game review11 September 2021
If you ever wanted to get a taste of what driving a bus was like without quitting your day job, Bus Simulator 21 is how you can get a taste of the action. We guarantee you will appreciate public transportation even more.
Bus Simulator 21 Review: Realistically MundaneCar Mechanic Simulator 2021 Review - Refurbished Classic Instead of Brand New Ride
game review13 August 2021
The game about being a car mechanic is back. It's better, it's bigger, it's prettier, but overall it's a small step in the evolution of the series, rather than a significant revolution.
Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 Review - Refurbished Classic Instead of Brand New RideWar Mongrels Review: Battle Weary Tactics
game review22 October 2021
Plan your moves, don’t get spotted, and complete various missions amid the dangers around you. This World War II game gives you classic RTT gameplay, but comes with some annoying setbacks too.
War Mongrels Review: Battle Weary TacticsHitman 3 Rules! Review of the Ultimate Agent 47 Game
game review22 January 2021
Nearly five years after the first installment of the Hitman reboot was launched, revolutionizing the series and showing a potential new direction for the entire stealth genre, the "World of Assassination" trilogy ends with a satisfying, detailed entry.
Hitman 3 Rules! Review of the Ultimate Agent 47 GameBattle Brothers Switch Review - True Gem for Hundreds of Hours
game review29 March 2021
2021 is a strange year that will take away a lot of big launches. It doesn't hurt me at all, though, because through Battle Brothers on Switch, I don't have time for anything else anyway.
Battle Brothers Switch Review - True Gem for Hundreds of HoursForza Horizon 5 Review - The King Becomes Emperor
game review04 November 2021
The best racing game just became even better, and it doesn’t look like anything is going to claim the crown from Forza Horizon 5 anytime soon. However, “the best” doesn’t mean “perfect.” The competitors still have a chance to seize the throne.
Forza Horizon 5 Review - The King Becomes EmperorCall of Duty Vanguard Review: War Never Changes
game review10 November 2021
What can you expect from a Call of Duty game besides another campaign mode, more multiplayer, and zombies? Hopefully enough to warrant another purchase.
Call of Duty Vanguard Review: War Never ChangesFinal Fantasy XIV Online: Endwalker Review
game review10 December 2021
Endwalker lives up to the expectations set by Shadowbringers and is a worthy closure to the almost 8-year story arc. With that feat, I’m confident that FFXIV is the best MMORPG currently available.
Final Fantasy XIV Online: Endwalker ReviewMechwarrior 5 Can Be a Thrill - If You've Never Played Games
game review01 June 2021
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.
Mechwarrior 5 Can Be a Thrill - If You've Never Played GamesStronghold: Warlords Review - The Sims Go to War!
game review08 March 2021
Stronghold: Warlords allows you to bare-witness the tumultuous history of the Eastern Asian continent, depicting wars of the fearsome Mongol Horde, among others. The game is terribly engrossing, offering diverse missions and even some decisions to make.
Stronghold: Warlords Review - The Sims Go to War!Battlefield 2042 Review: Hazard Zone
game review17 November 2021
A mix of old and new, Battlefield 2042 features more maps, more pomp, and more customization tools. But is more always better?
Battlefield 2042 Review: Hazard ZoneAstria Ascending Review: A Classic JRPG for a New Generation
game review27 September 2021
Astria Ascending, from developer Artisan Studios, is a modern classic, wonderfully modernizing the classic JRPG format with dynamic character progression and engaging turn-based combat.

revisiting04 March 2021
They that no man ever steps in the same river twice. However, we took a risk and launched Anthem again – a game-service whose support and grand development plans have just been finally and completely cancelled.

game review06 October 2021
The sequel to the infamous Agony is coming. This game is hell. And while it has its moments, you wouldn't want to explore that hell.
Succubus Review: Dollar Store Doom Or Hellish Delight?Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Review - Exclusively Exceptional
game review08 June 2021
This PS5-exclusive title feels familiar, but continues to shine on a new console offering even more humor, action, and plenty of memorable moments that will leave both fans and newcomers in love, properly launching (and seizing all the power of next-gen.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Review - Exclusively ExceptionalFar Cry 6 Review: Order in Revolution
game review06 October 2021
Taking place on a tropical island during a revolution, Far Cry 6’s plot reads like a page out of a Cuban history book. But its themes, wacky weapons, and fictional characters give it a charm of its own.
Far Cry 6 Review: Order in RevolutionNieR Replicant Ver.1.22474487139... Review - The Ultimate Version
game review22 April 2021
NieR Replicant is an enthralling experience that will keep you hooked with its mysterious plot and climactic boss battles. This is the version of the game you will want to play even if you played it over a decade ago.
NieR Replicant Ver.1.22474487139... Review - The Ultimate VersionGods Will Fall Review - A Gripping, Unique Dungeon Crawler!
game review29 January 2021
This debut original project from British team Clever Beams brings fresh solutions to a tried formula, and definitely comes out on top. Gods Will Fall is a pretty, engrossing, and truly challenging dungeon crawler.
Gods Will Fall Review - A Gripping, Unique Dungeon Crawler!Blue Reflection Second Light: Weighed Down By Fanservice
game review10 November 2021
Blue Reflection: Second Light combines casual RPG elements and a mysterious story with distracting fanservice that tends to drag the whole experience down.
Blue Reflection Second Light: Weighed Down By FanserviceBright Memory Infinite Review - A Broken Hybrid of Crysis and Shadow Warrior
game review11 November 2021
Swordfighting and shooting cutting-edge guns isn’t a common combination in FPS games. However, an alluring concept and jaw-dropping visuals are still not enough to recommend Bright Memory: Infinite, even to die-hard fans of Crysis and Shadow Warrior.
Bright Memory Infinite Review - A Broken Hybrid of Crysis and Shadow WarriorEncased Review: Is the Old School Still in Session?
game review07 September 2021
Encased is a solid game, yet one that struggles with its own nature. Despite being conductive to genuine emotions, the old school's biggest flaw is that it's old. Read more in our review.
Encased Review: Is the Old School Still in Session?Chorus Review: Satisfying Combat Distracts From A Lackluster Protagonist
game review03 December 2021
Chorus misses out on the opportunity to let the player decide who the protagonist is, choosing instead to force a dramatic end-of-the-world scenario on the player that cheapens the ability to explore and take on side-missions. Read our review.

game review28 March 2021
The world has ended, and those who survived are building their settlements. Endzone: A World Apart is an interesting city builder in a post-apocalypse world.

game review26 August 2021
King's Bounty 2 is a good game, perhaps average for others. However, if you love fantasy genre, this world will provide you with several hours of entertainment.

game review15 December 2021
Brace yourself, Spartan. Six years after its last game, the Halo series returns with an open-world game that provides a mix of nostalgic and modern elements that make for a satisfying journey through an old, familiar planet.
Halo Infinite Review. Say 'Hello' to Successful Reboot!Deathloop Review - Is Time on Arkane’s Side?
game review13 September 2021
Deathloop is awash in retro 60’s style but at the cost of real substance. Clunky gunplay and only a handful of special abilities hold what could have been a great game back. The time travel plot had promise but untimely goes unrealized.
Deathloop Review - Is Time on Arkane’s Side?Hammerting Review: Needs Reforging
game review17 November 2021
Explore the inside of a mountain and build your own dwarven colony in Hammerting, a game that has a lot of potential but is held back by some rough edges.
Hammerting Review: Needs ReforgingMonster Hunter Rise Review: An Exciting New Chapter in Monster Hunting
game review09 April 2021
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.

game review24 March 2021
Have you ever wondered where the next BioShock game could take place? Paradise Lost won’t give you an answer to that, but it creates a vision so magnificent that I wish 2K Games used it for another installment of this cherished series…

game review23 April 2021
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…
