The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics Review – Surprisingly good adaptation!
game review10 February 2020
Games based on movies or TV series are usually really bad. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics definitely bucks the trend, and is as successful in that, as the Skeks' invasion of the planet Thra.

Transport Fever 2 Review - Good Sim; Poor Tycoon
game review11 December 2019
Three years seems about enough time to pin-point the shortcomings that stop a good game from being great. Have Urban Games managed to do just that, and is their new Transport Fever 2 a game to match the legendary Transport Tycoon?

Planet Zoo Review – Is This Even a Game?
game review05 November 2019
An excellent, fascinating and satisfying... job. Playing Planet Zoo is like going to work. You try not to get tired, then you get tired, and in the end you're happy with what you accomplished anyway.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall Review – Bartender! Civilization with XCOM please!
game review14 August 2019
The creators of the cult series have moved into the distant future, used their best practices and created a game that we'll be playing for years to come. Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a successful strategy that more than makes up for its shortcomings.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun review – commandos gone samurai
game review06 December 2016
18 years – this much time has passed since the release of the first Commandos. Today, in Shadow Tactics, its spirit returns along with the magic of isometric tactical stealth games – they were difficult, a bit rough around the edges, but also fun to play.

Planet Coaster review – perfect sandbox, imperfect strategy
game review30 November 2016
Planet Coaster is a great come-back of roller coaster tycoons. The game gives the fans everything they expected, and though the economy system could be more demanding, the production as a whole is an outstanding sandbox.
Planet Coaster review – perfect sandbox, imperfect strategy
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI review – one turn short of perfection
game review02 November 2016
Does Civilization VI offer more at launch than Civ V did? Definitely. This doesn’t mean, though, that the developers managed to top Civilization V with all of its expansions – they almost did; except “almost” makes all the difference in this case.

Cossacks 3 review – a sad return to the past
game review21 September 2016
The Cossacks are back, marking their return with the sound of pipes and the roar of cannons. Unfortunately, the third game in the series that is especially popular in Europe comes with the same advantages and disadvantages as it did 16 years ago.

Worms WMD review – Going back to Armageddon
game review24 August 2016
Worms WMD is a perfect mix of the old and the new, especially since this game is closest to bringing back the experience of the best installments in the series while introducing some new stuff at the same time.

Total War: Warhammer review – Old World in new garments
game review31 May 2016
Warhammer + Total War is among the most basic mathematical equations – come to think about it, it’s actually surprising that it took that long for Creative Assembly to finally make this game. Today we know that it was totally worth the wait.

Stellaris Review – Paradox conquers outer space

The long-awaited Stellaris has taken over the universe… and Steam. Devs from Paradox have created an amazing space 4X game. And despite some shortcomings, it’s hard not to get hooked on it.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Review – Age of Sail 40K
game review02 May 2016
The already impressive number of productions set in the Warhammer 40K universe has just been augmented with another interesting title. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada – a digital rendition of a 1999’s board game – is some truly good tactical RTS.

Offworld Trading Company provides a breath of fresh air much needed by the RTS genre. Developed by Soren Johnson’s Mohawk Games, this game lets you conquer Mars using stocks, industrial sabotage, price wars, and book cooking. And it's fun!

Ashes of the Singularity Review – strategy, tactics, and bipolar AI
game review19 April 2016
Ashes of the Singularity certainly delivers on what it promised: colossal engagements with thousands of units. The question is whether it’s enough to call it a truly unique RTS.

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak review – a galaxy’s worth of sand
game review11 February 2016
Real-time strategy games, as a genre, are dying. That’s why every new RTS premiere I see is a reason to celebrate. All the more so if the game belongs to one of my favorite series.

XCOM 2 review – UFO 2: Enemy Well-known
game review05 February 2016
The tactical strategy series that says no to aliens makes a comeback once again. After the success of Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within the bar has been set high for XCOM 2, yet it emerges mostly victorious from its battle with gamer expectations.

Review of Thea: The Awakening – Civilization in a Slavic setting?
game review10 December 2015
Slavic atmosphere and unusual mechanics that are difficult to assign to one genre – these are the most important aspects of Thea: The Awakening. The question is: are these interesting solutions complemented by good gameplay?

Hard West Review – the Polish take on XCOM?
game review03 December 2015
Hard West is not afraid to take up the glove dropped by XCOM and shows that a digital narrative can be something else than an endless festival of action and explosions. Still, this doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

Prison Architect Review – one of the best economic simulation games of recent years
game review29 October 2015
Prison Architect is not friendly to new users, requires patching of numerous errors, and provides a disappointing campaign but its key elements – construction and management – are amazingly executed.

Big Pharma Review – drugs not only from Heisenberg
game review17 September 2015
Developing medications requires more than hard work. To hold your own in the business you need to think, as proven by Big Pharma – a very solid proposition for fans of the recently neglected tycoon genre.

Act of Aggression Review – Act of War did it better
game review08 September 2015
On one hand, Act of Aggression is a rather successful attempt at resurrecting traditional RTS games and continuing the legacy of C&C. On the other, it tries to become the spiritual successor to Act of War, but unfortunately, this is where it falls short.

Satellite Reign Review: Cult Classic Syndicate Now Looks Better Than Ever
game review28 August 2015
The only reasonable explanation for Satellite Reign to be called as it is, are the copyright issues. This tactical cyberpunk game, funded via Kickstarter, is basically a new version of the 1993 game – Syndicate.
