Great followup to Myst. Wraps up the story that was established in that game pretty well. I feel like it kind of lost that whimsical adventure feeling of Myst though. Still, I think it's good and the puzzles are fun, if sometimes a bit obtuse to decipher.

One of the most unique puzzle games ever made. It has a beautiful artstyle and a satisfying rogue-like style gameplay loop. The music is also incredible and adds and amplifies the unmatched atmosphere of this game. One of the things I like the most about this game is how the more you play, the more you find out. The mystery is deep and gets deeper. Solving the puzzles feels great, both because of the satisfaction of completing the puzzle, and learning more about the story.

Don't get me wrong, this game is fun because it's Civ. The gameplay of Civ is inherently fun to me. But while the game has that going for it, everything else makes it worse. The more cartoonish artstyle makes it feel less serious to me. The UI and apperance of menus are better and more immersive in Civ V in my opinion. I generally feel that there's a feeling of higher quality in Civ V compared to this game.

Very good game. Its unique style combined with fluid movement, fun shooting and a variety of enemies makes it truly special. I like that there are lots of things in Czech all over the environment that you can interact with to see what it means in English, something about that is neat. You should definitely play this game if you like retro shooters.

Very good game. I love the diverse operators with fun and unique abilities. The gameplay's tactical realism is great. Sometimes, the maps feel a bit sparse in their decorations, but not all maps are like that. I think the progression system is ok but needs some more thought into it. The way you unlock operators is you play games to earn Renown points, then spend those points to unlock various operators that are split into different cost groups. Some operators cost 1000 renown while others cost 10,000 and 15,000. I think it's a bit too grindy to unlock operators. I love the different weappons and the customization options for those weapons. Overall, I think Siege is a very good game and is the best of the team based cometitive shooter genre.

Fun little game with a lot of charm. I played this with two frienrs and we had a good time. I enjoyed the combat, enemy types, art style, exploration and soundtrack. I wish there were more interesting spells. Some spells are interesting but a lot of them feel too niche or underpowered. I also wish thay either the movement was faster, or that actions consuned less stamina/the player had more stamina. Moving around can be pretty slow in this game. More bosses would've also been nice. All in all though, wonderful game. Grab it for yourself and friends and have a good time.

One of the most dynamic, immersive and realistic games I've ever played. The real time interaction with other players, the survival mechanics and the guns are all incredibly made. Still active after all these years. When I'm playing this game, there's this sense of dread and fear. I feel on edge, as if I was actually in the situation in the game.

Fantastic game. The uncertainty of the gameplay loop is very engaging. The multiplayer mode is also very fun and works very well. I like how there is no chat or anything, just playing against players. The visual and sound design also add to the game's atmosphere.

Very cozy and chill game. You can fish while chatting to people and the game has satisfying progression by letting you customize yoru character to your heart's content. You can also play instruments, draw, gamble etc. This game is clearly inspired by Animal Crossing and executes that feeling very well. One downside of this game for me is that there aren't too many things to do other than fishing. It can get pretty repetitive.

Absolutely fantastic game. The gameplay is incredibly fun and satisfying. The overall style of the game, the parody that is Super Earth, the power the game gives each player etc. I definitely recommend this game. However, it does have a decent amount of glitches and bugs, some breaking the game you're in.

A fantastic conclusion to the Metal Gear story. I thought every detail of this game was incredibly well thought out and works very well. I loved the parts where you have to sneak through a battlefield. You can see the war unfold, with each side fighting and pushing each other back. Different military vehicles aid the factions. It's incredibly dynamic and I loved it. I also really liked the story. It was sad, awesome and conclusive. The characters were fantastic. The missions were all unique and engaging. I love this game a lot. I'd definitely recommend playing this game after playing all the other Metal Gear games, otherwise, it'll probably be confusing.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This game is pretty fun. There are a lot of interesting mechanics used in solving the puzzles. The story is interesting and well written. I like the visuals, the artstyle is really cool. The game is pretty short but the endings are interesting. The little side puzzles you can do were also interesting and make you think outside the box. As I mentioned before, the mechanics are interesting and varied throughout the game, especially towards the end. Overall, I recommend this game to anyone that enjoys puzzle games.

Halo is magical. It's so good that it's quite hard to believe it came out in the year it did. The presentation of the game is unparalelled in this format, I'd say it's even better than Half-Life in its worldbuilding. The way you progress through Halo feels like you're free, but also feels like you're always moving in the correct direction. Exploring, learning about the universe and the action are all extremely engaging. The weapons in this game are all very fun to use. They have incredible sound design. The feeling of using the weapons is very satisfying. The way the levels are designed make every engagement engaging and I always found myself on the edge of my seat. Strategic movement, well placed shots and the right choice of weapons are essential to succeed, at least on Heroic which is the difficulty I find to be the most fun. The plot of the game is also incredibly written and presented, unraveling in a very satisfying way and concluding in a bombastic sequence. I know this game was designed for a controller but it also feels incredible to play with mouse & keyboard too, proving that it was designed well overall, not just for controllers. In conclusion, this game is one of the best, not only in the FPS genre but of all time.

I don't like this game. It feels more like a generic sci-fi FPS with Halo elements rather than Halo itself. The level design leaves a lot to be desired. Levels feel too open and clearly deviates from the previous games, making the game feel not like Halo but like a generic shooter. The new weapons don't add enough variety to spice things up, even though I enjoyed using some of them like the SAW and the Promethean weapons. The plot feels very contrived and unnecessary, with the writing making it even worse. They remove a lot of cool mystery from the lore, making it much less interesting and fascinating. The dialogue in this game **** because of how it's written, with the Chief and Cortana talking way too much for the sake of it, not because it adds to the game but because the developers thought it would be cool for them to talk more. This ends up feeling contrived and unnecessary, like the rest of the game. Overall, I really don't like how the game is written overall. I actually don't mind the artstyle change all that much, except for a few things such as Cortana and some of the Covenant designs. It's not all bad, however. A few of the missions were enjoyable. I also liked the shooting in the game. I like the lighting, I think it can look very pretty at times in terms of fidelity. I also like the armor ability system, I think that had a lot of potential that was somewhat underused but still fun. I did think there's some good stuff but overall, I don't think Halo 4 is a good game for a variety of reasons, mainly because I feel like the game lost it's Halo identity. I don't think it would've been a problem if it was it's own game and not a continuation of Halo 3.

This game is underrated. I really like how Batman isn't an established hero in Gotham yet. A lot of your enemies don't even think you're real in the beginning of the game. I like how the story is very personal. Assassins are hired to kill Batman with a huge bounty. The pacing wasn't all that great in my opinion. It just feels like you encounter the assassins at arbitrary points and defeat them. I liked how they handled most of the villains though. I love Black Mask as a villain, even with all the twists. The audio logs you can get by collecting Enigma's datapacks are very good worldbuilding too. The combat is as good as always, though it does sometimes feel a little clunkier but maybe that's just me. I like the inclusion of the new gadgets, always love seeing some new variety. The electro-gloves could've been implemented better in my opinion. The acting is good, even though Kevin Conroy wasn't Batman. I think this game is underrated and I like it. Definitely try it out.

Mankind Divided takes the groundwork laid by Human Revolution and expands upon it masterfully. The augmentations, the levels, the characters, the story... Everything is just incredible in this game. Every part of this game feels like it pushes the player to approach each level their own way. I also love the new settings. I'm so happy with Prague being the main setting. It's one of the best settings in games in my opinion. The story is also interesting but I thought the main antagonist was underdeveloped. I didn't think the climax of the game was as underwhelming as others, though. It does set up the next game which never came out and it looks like it isn't going to come out in the foreseeable future either. The underdevelopment of the main antagonist is the only thing that disappointed me. I loved every other part of this game and I couldn't recommend it enough.

Human Revolution is a good game. I enjoyed it thoroughly and was hungry for more after I finished. The game offers a fun immersive sim experience, where building your character in a specific way opens up possibilities for exploration, combat and stealth. I enjoyed investing in augmentations to later be rewarded with opportunities to use them in interesting ways. It's not as freeform as the original Deus Ex but it does feel good to get rewarded for picking an ability of your liking. I think the world is also interesting. The prejudice and fear of augmentations has political and social consequences that are visible in the game. The game does falter at times, however. There should've been more feelable consequences for your actions in the game. The game has an overreliance on cutscenes. Knocking out enemies using melee plays a cutscenes, jumping from a high enough point to trigger the Icarus Landing System triggers a cutscene, punching a wall triggers a cutscene. This can get annoying late into the game but it's not that big of a deal. I might be weird but I did like the choices of the ending. I thought they were believable. Overall, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an awesome game with some flaws that definitely don't hold it back.

I'm a Resident Evil fan, I played and loved the remakes of Resident Evil that Capcom recently released. I'm especially a big fan of Resident Evil 2 Remake. When Resident Evil 4's remake was announced, I was very happy. I had played a little bit of Resident Evil 4 and thought it being remade would be great, but when the remake actually came out, it was too expensive for me to buy so I decided to play the original which I already owned. I played it on my PS4 and really enjoyed it! First of all, Resident Evil 4 differs from the previous entries in that it goes into a more action focused direction. This is a very risky thing to do for long-running game franchises but Resident Evil 4 still manages to be creepy. The horror of Resident Evil 4 comes from it's action oriented gameplay. Enemies take a pretty long time to kill with early weapons and ammo for better weapons are rare. Being in moments when you have to think outside the box to survive a tough encounter is thrilling and scary. The weapons of the game are very fun to use. Throughout the game, you upgrade and get better versions of weapons which provides that satisfying feeling of progress. The enemies are also very well designed. When you start the game, the first enemies you encounter are pretty tough but aren't too hard to deal with, but they can easily overwhelm you with their numbers if you aren't careful. Enemies get harder and harder as the game progresses, with some enemies having special phases you have to deal with. This adds both variety and challenge to the game which makes playing through it a satisfying experience. The story feels like it exists to drive the gameplay along and I'm totally fine with that for this game. I think it works well as a thing you keep in the back of your mind while you play through the game. The settings you move through in the story are very pleasing to look at. I always felt like exploring around to find any valuables or supplies. There are documents you can read to get an idea of what's going on but they're not as engaging as the previous games which featured interesting little stories and expanded upon the lore. The characters are very humorous in my opinion. I love them to bits. I love how silly they are. I enjoyed every character interaction, which isn't common. Overall, Resident Evil 4 is a great game and definitely deserved the remake but the original still holds up to this day, even after the remake's release.

This game is fun. The ability to build Mario levels and worlds using a plethora of tools provided by Nintendo themselves is a great idea, however, there are some disappointing things in this game. The tools provided are good but a lot of things are missing. Anything that's off screen doesn't load properly, leading to level creators having to do workarounds. I wish Nintendo provided better support in that area. Another thing that's weird is the 3D World theme. It just feels unnecessary because it's missing a lot of cool things from 3D World and has some bizarre things such as the car. Now, onto the things I like. I love seeing the older Mario themes in widescreen. It just feels awesome to see Super Mario World in such a format. Another thing I love is the Super Worlds. People can build their own worlds, complete with custom overworld maps. I just think that's neat. Overall, Mario Maker 2 is a good, but flawed game that strives to create a fun creative tool for budding level designers and brand new stages for people that are looking for that next Mario fix.

I always wanted to play Animal Crossing and this was my first one. I instantly fell in love with New Horizons with it's wonderfully calming music, satisfying gameplay loop, lovable NPCs and the detailed decorating options you have. Overall, I love this game and would recommend it if you like slow games.

I played this game nearly a decade ago on an old laptop using an emulator. Recently, I picked the game up because of nostalgia and also because I really liked the idea of all the options this game gives you. I have to say that I'm not disappointed. First of all, the tutorial. It's very intuitive and actually teaches you everything you need to know. Then, going into the actual studio, making games is very fun. You are given a huge variety of options in every part of game making, whether that be creating the music, the art or the script, everything feels fun and intuitive. The premade games are also great, featuring great art, music and gameplay. All of that creates a package that is a fantastic experience.

I don't really play racing games but decided to play Gran Turismo 7 when I saw it in a clearance aisle for around €7. The racing itself is fun and intuitive and the maps are decent. The Music Rally gamemode is also pretty fun but that's all the good things I can say about this game. The game has a sluggish, annoying and boring progression system with annoying NPCs in the form of a photo and some text to deal with. It just feels soulless in that regard. The car selection is very disappointing. The slowness of unlocking stages inevitably causes you to play the same stage over and over again, just to make a small amount of progress to unlock one more course. The negatives of this game heavily outweigh the positives, therefore, I conclude that this game is pretty mediocre..

One of the best games I've ever played. The developers are clearly in love with Earth's oceans and the species within those oceans. The stylized graphics, the beautiul setting and the atmospheric sound design elevate this game to a whole other level. All of this adds up to the incredible masterpiece that is ABZÛ.

I think this is a great game overall. The platforming is smooth and fun, the level design is engaging and the visuals are also nice. My main issue with this game, however, is the boss fights. The mid-bosses are all the same in each world, which was very disappointing to me. The variety of bosses in NSMB on the DS was sorely missed by me in this one. You also can't play as Luigi right away, you have to beat the game first. What's up with that Nintendo?

I'm a big Resident Evil fan. Ever since I played and replayed Resident Evil 2 Remake three times in a row. I love how incredibly the games are presented, how polished the gameplay is and how good the visual and sound design is. Resident Evil Village is a great game and the DLC for it is pretty fun and satiated my thirst for RE8 content. I think the DLC is fun but flawed in several ways. The gameplay itself is fun but I would've rather they didn't force the third person perspective. I guess they were coding the RE4 Remake and thought that they could just add it to RE8 as well but I don't think being forced to use it in the DLC is a good choice at all. Another thing I thought was lacking is the story. It's just so barebones and uninteresting to me. They could've made it much better but they introduced supernatural elements that just don't fit Resident Evil. I'm disappointed by the story. I didn't like how the locations in the DLC were recycled locations from the main campaign. It feels like they cut corners and didn't bother to make brand new, interesting locations which is a shame. Overall, Shadow of Rose is a fun but very underwhelming expansion for a great game. I expected better.

Dishonored marks the rebirth of the immersive-sim genre of games. There's great freedom and variety in gameplay which allows you to approach any given level in your own way. The great level design along with your arsenal allowing you to play how you want, I'd say the gameplay of Dishonored is it's strong suit. The story is also interesting but I'd say it's lacking. There are some odd moments which I was disappointed by. With that said, the worldbuilding and the lore is incredibly detailed and brings the world of Dishonored to life. Dishonored is a great game and it's worth playing multiple times. I'd highly recommend it.

Limbo is a very unique, abstract game that is very interesting to play. There's some good stuff here, the puzzles were often good and made me think and the graphics have a unique style which I enjoyed very much but the movement, story, some puzzles and sections of the game can all be confusing and annoying. First of all, the movement. You can't use the arrow keys to move and controlling the character sometimes feels clunky. Missing jumps because you didn't get the exact timing right, doing trial and error just to accomplish basic tasks isn't enjoyable. The story of the game is way too vague, it feels like it's trying to tell a story but that's not the focus at all. Normally, abstract storytelling is my kinda thing but it just doesn't work when it's this vague. Some puzzles are also annoying to deal with. Some puzzles mess with your movement and a lot of them require precise jumps which, as I mentioned before, isn't the easiest thing to figure out in this game. In it's core, I think this is a good experience but it definitely has a lot of flaws.
