Exceptional
This game is pure gold. The gameplay is a mix of classic run and gun titles (Metal Slug is probably the best reference) matched with awesome retro visuals and amazing soundtrack. It is hard as hell, so I am really constantly dying and enjoying it.
I have played dozens of games over the last few years, and I doubt that anything can even compare with Witcher 3. From the visuals to the lore to the gameplay mechanics to the story – this is one the best piece of art humanity ever produced. CDPR are the masters of RPGs and they definitely raised the bar in gamedev that no one could reach up to this day. This game is worth any money it is sold for, trust me, it so good you'll want two copies.

It is a rare example of story-drive FPS, although very linear, it is paced extremely well. The graphics were superb at the time, Redux made it only better. The gameplay is awesome, the atmosphere is heavy, the characters are vivid and live. In the end you have a perfect survival game, much better then stupid zombie-apocalypse things. It was really refreshing to the whole genre when it first came out and it's too bad not many developers were bold enough to make something like Metro again.
This atmospheric first person shooter has a solid storyline based on books. The remastered version has better visuals and various improvements. All in all, this is probably the game that you shouldn't miss the most from the whole Metro series.
Unepic is a blend of a metroidvania, RPG, and childish humor you can find only here. It is great that this is an indie title, major publishers would have made the developer remove all these jokes. As for the gameplay, it is pretty sound. It has a decent weapon choice, lots of potions and items, so grinding is very rewarding. The pixelated visuals are nice for an indie game. I can't find a single point against playing Unepic, if you just hate metroidvania games or RPGs in general, than you probably won't like it (but give it a try at least!).
Sacred 2 is often praised more than it deserves. It is not a bad game by any means, I am just saying it doesn't live up to the hype it got. Just a solid hack-and-slasher with average animations and monotonous combat. And this is bad, because to be honest Sacred 2 only brings a massive, yet very generic, fantasy world and fights, there's not much in the game apart from them. I think that there were no decent games of this type when Sacred 2 came out first, so I can understand the hype it got. But playing it a while afterwards reveals how dull and boring this game is with all grinding, looting, etc. Go play something else.
Graphics: 3/5. Nothing to write home about, but not ugly. Story: 1/5. Pretty no story at all. Gameplay: 4/5. Stealth is great. The ability to stop or rewind time adds to it. So it's a pretty solid stealth game, not a masterpiece, but still a decent thing.
This is a spiritual successor to the Gothic series – nameless hero, tough fights, graphics are okay even today, environmental design is gorgeous. You can spend hours exploring, and the story (yet cliched a bit) is still quite intriguing.
The first three-four hours it is quite fun but it fails to entertain afterwards. The gameplay is very repetitive, so don’t buy it for the full price, wait until it goes down to $15, then you might give it a try.
It's a Dynasty Warriors spin off, and it tries to be a Dynasty Warriors game and falls short. It feels like it was rushed to come out in order to make some quick money and as a result we got the worst game that is related to Dynasty Warriors in any sense.

The game itself was enjoyable, but it still can’t compare with its previous installments. It is like not everything is quite there, and you can’t really tell what is missing. Overall the game was good, I just think that the evolution here went wrong for me in particular, so I’d rather replay other parts of the series.
I can’t get enough of this game, it is very addictive. The only complaint is that it is too easy sometimes, but still great, since there are not a lot of rhythm games out there.
Three amazing games in one pack. It is a great excuse to revisit the old classics or play it for the first time, becuase the original Metroid games started something completely new in gaming back in the days, and Metroid Prime successfully brought the series to the third dimension. The gameplay is the ancient alchemical formula that will get your addicted in no time, so if you have a Wii or Wii U, you are highly recommended to buy this one.
The game feels like Konami wants to find a shortcut to large profits of the franchise, what is more disturbing is that it seems to me this is going to be the last actual game in the series if they will go on like that without. So let’s see. First, there are microtransactions. Secondly, the controls are bad. Konami tried to make a different kind of game using existing controls and scripts, but the thing is you can’t teach the old game to do new tricks, unless you reinvent some basic things. On the whole, MGS is an average wave-based shooter and Konami is really starting to look like EA.

This could be a good game but it got one fatal flaw. The different versions for consoles split up the playerbase for this edition and the “normal” and as a result you can’t play a satisfying multiplayer, because there are no enough players! Now, how dumb is that?
Bomberman is back! Aaand it is perhaps the best thing about this game. It doesn’t feel the same when it was first released. Don’t let the Switch hype fool you, this game is okay but nothing too fancy.
«Can’t stop playing»
I'm a huge fan of the series, so this game appeals to me too. Now Persona 5 is praised, and there’s a reason for it, but I still believe that this installment is the best and most crucial to the series. This is one of the best RPG's I’ve played and one of my all time favs.
Putting these two games and characters together is an ingenious idea, both add to each other and have a remarkable synergy. Also, if you love the music from these games the mash up is in the OST too. All in all, this is a great game.

I don’t get people whining about the story. Yes, it is linear, but was Half-Life non-linear? Did you lots of choices? No. That said, I think the plot is still creative and interesting. As for the other things: the weapons are fun to use, there are some jump-scares, and the enemies are interesting. It’s probably cheap as hell now, so go buy it you like classic FPS.
«Underrated»
It is not a game in the traditional sense. It is a digital adventure with fragmented narration on varied deep topics. I certainly enjoyed Dear Esther and I will play it many times in the future, just to get an understanding of a bigger picture. Since the story is the main part of the game, I have to say that the ending is very intense and you won’t be disappointed and will leave you with food for thought. This is the kind of game that will keep you up at night thinking about actions and effects.
