We Happy Few - are emotions necessary to be happy?
⭐⭐⭐

I'm one of those players who usually avoid survival games, which is perhaps why I took so long to get to We Happy Few. Eventually my gamer instinct whispered in my ear: "You have to play this someday! Apparently it's very similar to Bioshock - not only in terms of its graphic style …". So […]

5 things you will learn from video games

Can violent games, which give us points for completing demoralizing tasks, be a great educational adventure? Will Angry Birds contribute to an increase in IQ of the population? Maybe yes, maybe no. But I can, without hesitation, say that games have always been a very good source of positive experience and useful knowledge. Hand-eye coordination […]

The Art of Exploration. Play like you travel, travel like you play.

There was once a time in my life when I just wanted to finish games without respite and a shadow of reflection. Fortunately after some time my approach to games (and other media as such) began to change significantly. I started to respect  them and desired to take a closer look at each of them. […]

How to connect DualShock 4 controller to a PC

I had a pleasure to hold a lot of controllers, but DualShock 4 is without a doubt my favorite. Not only because of the shape and the arrangement of buttons, but also because of pure practicality. Firstly - it's compatible with PlayStation 3, so when I want to play a game on the older generation, […]

Uncomfortable first impressions from Paris

It's been seven years since the launch of the revolutionary, but monotonous first Assassin's Creed. Today, we have new generation of consoles and a game you can't stop looking at with so greatly varied contents that pour out of the screen. It's a pity that it's choking all the time because of very poor optimization […]

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - review

For the last 10 years during the holiday season there was always a new Call of Duty. Not all editions of this series were particularly outstanding, but certainly it is one of the few series that keep their place on top. After the release of Advanced Warfare nothing will change in that matter because we […]

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - first impressions

For the first time in several years Call of Duty has no competition in the pre-Christmas period, thus there is nothing to stop it from breaking further records in sales. In addition there is finally a breath of freshness in the series, with the most fun parts untouched. Right now, I'm after four hours of […]

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was a great unknown until the release day. And here it turns out that we have received a decent chunk of sandbox game which introduces a new level of gameplay depth  - and does it well. The main character is Talion - a guard serving on the Black Gate. The orcs […]

#GamerGate - scandal going down the wrong way

#GamerGate is trying to tell us that some reviews are not always written in accordance with journalistic ethics. But wait, it's not the end of the story. We also learn that "the only true gamers are heterosexual men who like to look at sexy women and scenes full of bloody violence". I always thought that […]

Destiny - review

Destiny is a strange game. Nearly the whole solar system at your fingertips, and players will just keep shooting into a cave. For hours. Literally. After mixing so many genres into one, the game has no hangover at all. But all that glitters is not gold. Destiny storyline is full of symbols and understatements. The […]

Watch_Dogs - review

The first footage from Watch_Dogs revealed at E3 in 2012 was not only a great surprise, but, in a sense, visualized hopes on what will the so called next-gen games offer and look like. It is true that the six months release delay could arouse doubts, but ultimately it was worth the wait.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - review

Assassin's Creed (IV): Black Flag is the first installment of the main series with a different modern main character. The only thing left after Desmond Miles are his memories. Abstergo Entertainment along with Ubisoft creates games and movies based on the data drawn from the ancestral memories stored in the genes.
