With Ghost Justice, Centurion Developments’ Róbert Servický and his team are taking turn-based tactical strategy into the world of modern anti-cartel operations. Building on their experience with the genre, the game challenges players to coordinate multiple squads, plan devastating ambushes, and adapt to environments ranging from dense jungles to heavily monitored urban districts. Following its public showing at Gamescom, we spoke with Servický about the game’s contemporary setting, the challenges of making complex tactics accessible, the importance of player feedback, and the features he is most excited for players to experience.

Mortal Kombat II review (BluRay)
After the 2021 reboot spent considerable time establishing its characters and mythology, Mortal Kombat II finally brings the tournament itself to the forefront. Earthrealm’s champions must confront the forces of Outworld and prevent the tyrannical Shao Kahn from conquering their realm. Their ranks are bolstered by Johnny Cage, a fading Hollywood action star who is suddenly expected to become humanity’s next great fighter. Director Simon McQuoid returns for a sequel that understands the appeal of the games considerably better, delivering brutal martial arts encounters, familiar characters, and gruesome finishing moves. The story remains fairly lightweight, however, and the opening takes time to assemble its expanding cast and competing motivations. Once the fighting gains momentum, the film becomes a much more entertaining spectacle. Continue reading “Mortal Kombat II review (BluRay)”
Mouthwashing review (PS5)
Space is a terrifying place when there is nobody coming to save you, but Mouthwashing finds something even more disturbing than the prospect of dying alone among the stars: the possibility that the people trapped alongside you are just as dangerous as the circumstances surrounding them. Developed by Wrong Organ and published by CRITICAL REFLEX, this first-person horror adventure takes place aboard the Tulpar, a space freighter whose journey ends in catastrophe after Captain Curly deliberately steers it toward an asteroid. With the ship badly damaged, its supplies dwindling, and its captain left horribly mutilated, the surviving crew faces an increasingly desperate struggle for survival. However, the real horror lies in the relationships between these characters and the secrets that gradually emerge. Rather than relying on a conventional monster hunting its victims, Mouthwashing explores guilt, responsibility, and the darker aspects of human nature, creating a deeply uncomfortable experience that lingers long after its short campaign comes to an end.

Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded (Fortnite Edition) review
The Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is already an ambitious controller for players who want more control over their gaming setup, and the Fortnite Edition (also available for PS5 and PC setups) adds a distinctive visual identity to the package. Inspired by Drift, the Fortnite character known for his fox mask and colorful appearance, this version combines a black-and-red design with the same modular hardware found in the regular Reloaded model. There is also a code for the Jellie outfit in Fortnite, giving fans of Epic Games’ battle royale an extra incentive to consider this particular edition. Beneath the themed exterior, however, the controller remains a premium gaming peripheral aimed primarily at players who value customization, precision, and competitive features. At €199.99, it also demands a considerable investment, making it worth examining what separates it from a standard Xbox controller and whether its extensive feature set justifies the asking price.

Joe & Mac Retro Collection review (PS5)
Joe & Mac Retro Collection brings three prehistoric platformers from the Super Nintendo era to modern consoles, giving players another opportunity to revisit a period when colorful sprites, straightforward objectives, and demanding arcade-inspired action were enough to carry an entire game. Published by Red Art Games and featuring games originally developed by Data East, the collection includes Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, Congo’s Caper, and Joe & Mac: Lost in the Tropics. Although these adventures share a familiar mix of dinosaurs, cavemen, and rescue missions, they each have their own approach to platforming. The result is a surprisingly varied package that offers plenty of nostalgic appeal, although its commitment to preserving the original experiences also leaves some dated design decisions intact.
