Car 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.

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.

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.

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.
Anthem - EA's Worst Game Two Years LaterFar 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.

game review04 August 2021
Tomas Sala’s The Falconeer finally comes to all consoles with the Warrior Edition, which includes new stories and locations to experience in an already engaging open world game. Read our Nintendo Switch review.

game review30 March 2021
Black Powder Red Earth is a game based on an interesting idea, but in the end it's more annoying than fun. Definitely not for everyone.

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.

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…
MotoGP 21 Review - Dark Souls of RacingFinal Fantasy 7 Remake PC Review: Ignorance is Not a Bliss
game review23 December 2021
Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PC does a wonderful job of resurrecting the classic, 1997 video game, bringing back the original feel and nostalgia. However, the port is flawed by complete disregard to the peculiarities of the PC platform.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake PC Review: Ignorance is Not a BlissStronghold: 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.

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?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 review18 October 2021
NHL 22 promises some added upgrades thanks to a new engine and next-gen horsepower. With a lot of the same features returning from last year’s installment, you need to ask yourself if the upgrade is truly worth it.

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.
Endzone A World Apart Review - It’s the End of the World and I Feel FineEncased 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?Chopping Trees is an Adventure, or Why isn't Valheim Boring?
revisiting05 March 2021
I don't think I need to convince anyone that Valheim is a sensation. Millions of copies sold, great ratings, and lots of coveragpraising different aspects of the game from graphics to refreshing the survival genre. But I wanted to talk about trees.

game review20 July 2021
Sometimes you become such best friends with a monster that they go from your bestie to your monstie. And no, this isn’t Pokemon, but you will be hatching lots of eggs and battling alongside your favorite monsters. Read our review of Wings of Ruin.

game review26 May 2021
If you have ever done one of those trust exercises where you are blindfolded and need to listen to your partner, you’ll fit right in with this puzzler. Trust each other, talk it out, and you’ll have a great time saving the world.

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 ZoneFinal 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.

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 FanserviceHoa Review: Like a Simple, Short-Lived Flower
game review23 August 2021
Like a short-lived flower, Hoa is filled with wonder. Its levels and puzzles may be too simple for some, but the wonder it creates through art and sound could be what convinces you to play it.
Hoa Review: Like a Simple, Short-Lived FlowerUnbound Worlds Apart Review: Platforming Not For the Impatient
game review04 August 2021
Unbound has familiar touchstones of other modern side-scrolling platformers: Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Limbo, Inside, Cuphead, take your pick. It’s almost a formula by now. Throw a nice color pallet, a mystical world, and boom you’ve got a game.

game review02 September 2021
Song of Iron is the result of one solo developer’s hard work and determination to turn his ideas into a video game. This is Joe Winter’s first solo project and it is truly a labor of love.

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.

Do you happen to be a Xbox Game Pass subscriber? If not I suggest you to quickly become one. A cyberpunk adventure like no other awaits you and three of your friends in The Ascent. Just make sure they all know how to shoot.

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 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 ExceptionalDeathloop 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.
