Tharsis is a game for those who love tabletop gaming and a challenging experience. At its heart Tharsis is as unforgiving as it is entertaining, but it offers very little variety in terms of the overall game. There's one ship and a limited selection of crew members to unlock, and players...

SOMA is a survival horror game that is undoubtedly one of the best of the genre, and its setting and plot are shining examples of how to engage an audience. Frictional Games has done a great job in sustaining their horror game reputation through narrative alone, by way of a...
Undead Labs has created a stellar title, and fans of both the zombie genre and role-playing games will find State of Decay's unique gameplay systems quite enjoyable, though the game will throw players into the kettle without much explanation. Strangely, that steep learning curve is what makes the game so...
The game is very much a 'what you see is what you get' package, and gamers who like the idea of sentient bread are likely to enjoy killing a few hours completing the main storyline. I Am Bread packs a surprising amount of entertainment into a title that's available for $14, and those...
In short, Cities: Skylines achieves everything we wanted in SimCity with ease. Coming in with the affordable price of $29.99, this is one game we fully recommend to any gamer looking to enjoy a city building game that not only allows them to generate gigantic metropolises, but design each element...
All-in-all, The Sims 4 is a well-polished game that does everything right - its only problem is a lack of content to keep gamers interested. Those accustomed to series know that the first game of a new sequel is always left feeling light in terms of content, and The Sims...

In a campaign so unexpectedly short, the fact that repetitive gameplay becomes such a huge hurdle really says it all. Fans...
At its core, Enemy Within is a fantastic reminder of what an expansion pack is supposed to be. Calling something like this just a downloadable content package would seem like an injustice, as Enemy Within changes the core fundamentals of an already entertaining game and literally improves on all aspects...
Despite those flaws, Europa Universalis IV provides such a deep, challenging and unpredictable experience that it will leave hardcore strategy fans sailing back for more. This isn't a game for the feint of heart - the game stretches through almost 400 years of history, but at times it feels like...
Relic Entertainment supported the original Company of Heroes for several years after its release, creating plenty of content for fans, and the sequel is looking to emulate that experience for the foreseeable future. Company of Heroes 2 deftly manages to provide both slow- and fast-paced levels of real-time strategy in...
In short, SimCity is a title with great potential that has been sullied by limited features and one of the worst video-game launches in recent memory. The questionable exclusion of an offline mode led to an explosion of problems, including fundamental game-changers like smaller city sizes and players being unable...
Konami has done a good job refining some key areas in Pro Evolution Soccer - the tactical AI, in-depth controls and trick system provide some rigorous entertainment. However, it's getting hard to conceal the wrinkles in aging singleplayer and multiplayer modes, and the lack of graphical improvements and animations is...
