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.

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 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.

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.

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.
