- Our rating: 10/10
The sequel to The Last Of Us is sure to be one of the most controversial games of recent years. Whatever you think about it, however, there is no denying that it is one of the contenders for the title of the Game of the year. Naughty Dog is a bit like Rockstar, except it specializes in a different genre. It always delivers a product at the highest level even if TLOU2 doesn't rock the boat in terms of gameplay mechanics. The strength of The Last Of Us: Part II lies elsewhere.
The second installment of the series wins thanks to the narrative, the engaging plot, and the plethora of emotions we feel about the main characters. It takes a little getting used to the older and slightly more violent Ellie, but we quickly re-enter this bleak yet engaging post-apocalyptic world. A world that looks so convincing and detailed that it's hard to believe that the creators managed to get such graphics on a regular PS4. No matter what, this is a game that you can't walk past. It's a production that you literally have to "go through" and make your own opinion of it.
This is the level of craftsmanship we've come to expect from Naughty Dog, and which they proudly deliver. You see the score and you know that Ellie and Joel are coming back in a great, in many ways outstanding, sequel. For many of you, it may be perfect. What's also adding spice is that this is a sequel, and these are usually tricky.

Desperados III
- Release date: 16 June 2020
- Platforms: PC Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
- Our rating: 9/10
Red Dead Redemption II was a great western, but – as it turns out – Rockstar isn't the only one who can make successful productions about cowboys. German-based studio Mimimi Games has done well with another game in the Desperados series, the third installment of which is a prequel to previous events. The gameplay remained unchanged, so we're still dealing with a real-time strategy similar to the famous Commandos series or Shadow Tactics (Mimimi's previous production).
Desperados III, however, is not solely focused on tactical thinking. Despite the lack of cut-scenes, the creators managed to smuggle in a lot of the atmosphere and stories, mainly thanks to the well-sketched characters. These, in turn, were presented so well thanks to the well-written dialogues and good voice actors. Combined with beautiful locations and immersive gameplay, this creates a very interesting mix not only for westerns fans.
Desperados 3 may not be a very original game, but it's completely fine because it perfectly assembles the available building blocks, with each elements working in tune with all the rest. Now, we wish for the equally successful return of the Commandos series.
