I think many people will appreciate Celestial Return far more than I did, especially if they're starved for story-driven cyberpunk role-playing games. For my part, however, it mostly feels like a game that has understood what made its role models good, but not quite why they worked. The result is...
No, Zero Parades never reaches the same dizzying heights as Disco Elysium, but perhaps it doesn't need to. When I switched off Zero Parades, it almost felt as though Portofiro continued to exist without me somewhere out there in the darkness, as if the city were simply waiting for the...
So, to sum it all up: Escape Simulator 2 is a well-built, solid, and fun game that suffers from a flawed hint system and a difficulty curve that is far too steep. The focus is clearly on the multiplayer mode, and the game is less suitable if you prefer to...

When psychedelic, twisted faces suddenly appear in my field of vision in a clumsy attempt to scare me, I mostly feel sad. Not scared, just sad. Because it could have been something interesting if Lukasik had dared to work more with the theme, with the grief, with the child's constant...
Apart from that rather significant downside, Rematch is a very good game. It's the game I've wanted for so many years, and I'm overjoyed that it's finally here. It's both fun to watch and fun to play, and I hope Sloclap succeeds in the seemingly impossible task of convincing players...
