When I played the first Hades, I cursed the gods that Supergiant Games don’t make sequels because there were still things to flesh out. Gods answered and proved me right. And while the writing and story aren’t as strong as the last time (for obvious spoiler reasons), gameplay-wise it’s a straight upgrade with more ways to tailor your runs and style. So yeah, good job Supergiant, but now really is time to move on.

Honestly, it's impressive how bad this "remaster" is. I mean, Crysis has always been a benchmark title but while the OG tested your hardware, this version tests your patience more than anything. After you apply all the necessary mods and change all the parameters, you can finally play... sorry pray - that it doesn’t randomly crash whenever you shoot an enemy, AI doesn’t get bugged or the particle effect doesn’t show as a 2D sprite. And the best joke? Even maxed out it looks AND runs worse than the original game. What the hell?

PC gamers ill like poor performance and stupid microtransactions, Capcom!

Transport Tycoon is possibly the best game ever made and OpenTTD makes it even better thanks to a dedicated global community. Now excuse me, I'm off to spend a few more thousand hours in it.

I don't think I can say something that hasn't been said already, so I'll drop this on the "just buy it already" pile. Personal GOTY 2020 and the best rogue-lite you can get.

Extremely underrated game that received lot of (justified) hate mostly because of greedy Square Enix’s marketing plans. Nowadays you can a) get it fairly cheap with all the DLCs (just ignore the obvious pay to win ones that would only ruin your experience) and b) play it without most of the horrible bugs that plagued it on release. In short: Better gameplay and atmosphere than Human Revolution, damn shame about the fact we might never get to see the sequel. Still, Mankind Divided gave me about 30 hours of unique fun so it’s definitely worth it.

Common misconceptions debunked:

1. The Prague hub sucks!
As a Czech myself, I have to agree that the devs could have tried harder and pay for some translators instead of using Google Translate. Funnily enough, ambient Czech dialogues are fine but signs/names suck real hard. What happened? BUT Even though there are undeniable errors, Prague hub is one of the most immersive game cities I’ve ever seen. Mind you, it’s not Prague but it’s a damn good Central Europe city that FEELS like it’s inhabited/daily used. Oh and all of the verticality, details and side quests. Truly wonderful.

2. Game is too short/cut!
When I read about Mankind Divided, I expected it to end after 10 hours but when I actually played it, it went on and on and on and it was still good! Sure, the ending is open because they were planning another game. Is it bad though? Not really and I even liked the final boss/final quest which wasn’t just about choosing one of four buttons but actually changed depending on how you approached the situation.

3. Game crashes/loads slowly!
I understand that this used to be a big problem. Nowadays I had Mankind Divided installed on SSD so my loadings were fine and encountered only two crashes + one major graphics bug that made me reset the game. Of course, could be better but it’s nothing that should stop you from buying it.

4. DLCs suck!
Hell naw! A Criminal Past and System Rift are well-crafted missions you shouldn't miss. Ignore the equipment packs and in-game store.

So yeah, 9/10 from me and I hope that we’ll get to see more of Adam Jensen. Get your stuff together, Squenix!

Nejhezčí. Nejzajímavější. Nejpropracovanější. Zkrátka nejlepší metroidvanie posledních let.

Zemřel kvůli téhle hře Half-Life? Kdo ví. Ale když překonáte počáteční skepsi vůči spojení „Valve + kartičky“, najdete v Artifactu hodně dobrou (a především zábavnou) hru se solidními strategickými základy.
PS: Ačkoli je monetizace hry mírně pochybná, za nejzábavnější herní mod se už nic dalšího neplatí.

Matička Rus krvácí, a pokud ve vás, milí soudruzi, spojení „brutalita“ a „beat ‘em up“ vyvolává alespoň částečné nadšení, chcete být při tom.

Sedmá epizoda Hvězdných válek v herním podání = mišmaš nápadů, kdy na jedné straně stojí úcta ke kořenům série a snaha o jejich napodobení a na straně druhé v současnosti populární vlastnosti, které mají sérii přiblížit nově příchozím. Stejně jako Force Awakens je i nový Doom překvapivě zábavný (alespoň více než prequely, tedy třetí díl), ale člověk musí občas zavřít obě oči a jak čert kříži se vyhýbat otravným fatalitám, o nichž sice tvůrci skálopevně tvrdili, že tempo hry nenaruší, nicméně jak se dalo čekat, opak je pravdou.

FYI: Pořád stokrát lepší než Eternal (Last Jedi)
