Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review - Unfortunate Series Low Point
game review04 October 2023
Pretty much all fans of the Assassin's Creed were hyped for Mirage, an installment heralded as full-blown return to the roots. Sadly, Ubisoft didn't manage to break the bad spell, although the game is technically polished, there's not much more to it.

Baldur's Gate 3 Review: BG3 Is Great, But I Hoped for Greater Miracles
game review29 August 2023
Baldur's Gate 3 partially fulfilled my dreams, and partially didn't. It's a great adventure in my beloved genre, but ultimately it doesn't deliver on all of its promises. It's a phenomenon that I've entered with my mind, but not entirely with my soul.

Cyberpunk 2077 Disappointed, but Phantom Liberty Delights. A Touching Farewell by Spy Thriller
game review20 September 2023
I'm not a big fan of Cyberpunk 2077, but Phantom Liberty totally stole my heart. It has a great plot, great emotions, and is really memorable. That said, it's just average in terms of gameplay.

RIDE 5 Review - Less Gran Turismo, More MotoGP Vibes
game review21 August 2023
We used to call the RIDE series “Gran Turismo for motorcycle lovers.” However, it seems Milestone has now a different vision, and brings RIDE 5 closer to MotoGP. It plays great but something important was lost in the process.
