Screamer is chaotic in the best way, and it works. Arcade racing, cyberpunk cel-shaded visuals, anime flair, a wild story, and explosive car combat all collide to create one of the boldest reboots in years. If you want pure speed, nonstop action, and something that breaks the mold, Screamer delivers.

The Last Case of John Morley offers an engaging narrative and enjoyable puzzles. While technical graphics suffer from various bugs that could disrupt gameplay, crime fiction fans seeking a mystery should try this title.

Black Ops 7 delivers a rollercoaster ride of the franchise’s recent highs and lows. Without the campaign, it could almost be considered a strong addition to the series. But judging the story mode on its own paints a very different picture. Even with its weakest campaign to date, the game still offers enjoyable multiplayer and an excellent Zombies experience, leaving the overall product balanced right on the borderline. Activision’s willingness to listen to fans and adjust various aspects shows the team is moving in the right direction, if only the narrative hadn’t turned out so poorly.

Considering the limited amount of content available at launch, it’s hard to justify a $40 price tag for Painkiller. That said, its core gameplay remains fun and engaging, and with future content, it has the potential to become a solid co-op action experience.

Dreams of Another offers a touching and thought-provoking narrative that invites players to reflect inwardly, exploring themes of identity, loss, and purpose. Yet despite its emotional depth and strong storytelling, its shortcomings as a game, particularly in core gameplay design and engagement, ultimately hold it back from reaching true greatness.

Hell is Us thrives on exploration, offering a world that feels mysterious, untamed, and rewarding to uncover. By stripping away waypoints and traditional maps, the game encourages players to navigate by instinct and curiosity, making every discovery feel personal and earned. Its atmosphere pulls you in from the very first moments, and the sense of isolation amplifies the thrill of finding your own path. Unfortunately, the combat lacks the same depth and polish, leaving exploration as the true centerpiece of the experience, an aspect that will deeply resonate with discovery-driven players, even if it may not captivate everyone.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, Echoes of the End offers breathtaking visuals that often make you pause just to admire the scenery, but unfortunately, that’s where the experience peaks. Beyond its stunning world, the game quickly unravels with stiff animations, a shallow story, and clunky, broken gameplay, serving as a reminder that great visuals alone can’t carry a video game.

Bandai Namco’s bold attempt to reimagine the core concepts of the beloved Pac-Man franchise as a modern Metroidvania shows promise but ultimately falls short of its full potential. Shadow Labyrinth delivers a dark, mysterious story and fast-paced combat, but brings little new to the table, leaning too heavily on the Pac-Man name to make an impact.

FBC: Firebreak is fast-paced, action-packed, and undeniably fun, but also unfinished. Remedy’s first foray into online multiplayer shows real promise, with a significant investment of resources evident in its core design. However, in its current state, FBC falls short of delivering a complete multiplayer experience, lacking the depth and polish expected from a fully realized title. Still, the foundation is strong, and with the right support, it has the potential to evolve into a standout online FPS, and possibly the start of an exciting new franchise.

Despite the developers’ effort to introduce fresh ideas and a unique twist on the driving genre, Deliver at All Costs ultimately falters in execution. What could have been a creative and engaging experience instead feels scattered and unfocused, resulting in a shallow game that struggles to find its identity.

Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered brings together three games from different eras, each with varying levels of quality at the time of their original release. If you're new to these classics, the collection offers a solid experience. However, for those who have already played them, there isn’t much new to discover.

Eternal Strands offers glimpses of promise with its stunning boss fights and intriguing gameplay mechanics. However, its repetitive structure and lack of depth make for a shallow experience. The game also falls short in storytelling and character development, leaving little to keep players engaged and making it difficult to recommend.

As a modern-day gamer, Soul Reaver Remastered might not be significant for you. But for an old-school 40-year-old gamer, it brings back memories of a golden era of gaming and legendary titles. While the remaster sparks nostalgia, it falls short of addressing the gameplay mechanics—especially in the sequel—leaving the experience somewhat dated. For those who cherished the original, the remaster is a bittersweet reminder of a time when storytelling and atmosphere were king, even if it struggles to fully modernize itself for a new generation.

Squirrel with a Gun starts with an innovative idea but loses traction as things go on and eventually becomes repetitive. Still, it definitely has the potential for future investment to iron out all the issues and build around its most solid innovations.

Despite numerous efforts and innovations, FC 25 remains in the shadow of FIFA’s golden era. While promising new features like FC IQ and AI Behavior signal progress, the past few years have been challenging. The path ahead for the EA Sports FC series looks even more difficult as it strives to recapture the glory of its predecessor.

Starfield: Shattered Space takes you to a "shattered space", and I mean it literally. This is probably the most unstable, unpolished DLC that Bethesda has ever released. It doesn't improve the original game's experience by any means but rather drags it further down. If you want to play Starfield, just play Starfield and forget about Shattered Space. You won't miss anything.

Funko Fusion throws everything it can on the wall with the hope that something sticks, but unfortunately for the developers and the audience alike, nothing is left on the wall after the first couple of hours. Funko Fusion is fast-paced, action-packed, and colorful, but it also lacks identity, is shallow, and is not appealing

The latest entry in the Test Drive Unlimited series gets all the basics of the genre right but fails to expand and offer any meaningful type of diversity in its core gameplay. That combined with poor server performance, at least at launch, makes Solar Crown undesirable enough to compete against the Forza series.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions offers a fast-paced gameplay experience with a decent amount of customization, but an overall lack of content and innovation drags it down into a repetitive cycle and eventually prevents it from breaking away from mediocrity.

While we can commend Aspyr's efforts to modernize Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, it's clear that significant issues persist within the core gameplay mechanics. Visually, the game impresses and delivers a strong dose of nostalgia for Star Wars fans. However, when evaluated on its own merits, without the Star Wars branding, the flaws become much more apparent.

Darkest Dungeon II offers a unique and complex experience, with many hours of gameplay and exploration. However, it demands extreme patience, as its steep learning curve may prove challenging for many casual gamers.

Even as a low-budget indie game, Lifeless Moon fails to stand out among the competition. If it weren't for its engaging atmosphere and solid soundtrack, it might have already been forgotten.

Crime Boss: Rockay City is full of small and big issues. Poor sound design, terrible AI, numerous bugs, and a general lack of content to name a few, but once you look past all these problems and into the core gameplay, you can see a truly entertaining first-person shooter that is capable of offering a lot more. This game has potential and needs a lot more attention and time, but in its current state, it's nothing more than a mediocre shooter.

King Arthur: Legion IX tries to implement Knight’s Tale’s successful formula in a more compact format, resulting in a hit and miss Tactical RPG experience that shines in areas such as turn-based combat and art design but comes up short in story, sound design, and voice acting.

Returning to the roots of the series, Contra Operation Galuga offers an entertaining experience for dedicated fans. However, it may lack innovation and fail to introduce fresh elements to captivate a broader audience.

Unlike the first Outcast game back in 1999, A New Beginning lacks characters and has not much to offer in terms of new ideas, mostly copying what we've already seen in standard modern open-world games.

Alone in the Dark is a collective of issues and fails to impress or add anything to the genre. It is hard to revive the beloved series, but the previous attempts and the final package here all signal that Alone in the Dark should remain a nostalgia.

Slave Zero X stuck between two completely different genres, and despite bringing many good qualities to the table such as an engaging atmosphere and solid story and level design, suffers from a lack of identity in its core gameplay that makes the final experience extremely inconsistent.

Despite being stuck in development hell for years, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin more or less achieves what it meant to and poses itself as a history course for the FPS genre by taking the older gamers to the past and bringing the past to the newer gamers.

Outlast Trials tries to mix its traditional gameplay with online elements, and the result is neither revolutionary nor entertaining, making it more of a spin-off to the original series rather than a cornerstone for future releases.

As nostalgic as Tomb Raider I–III Remastered might be for some fans, the fact is that the outdated gameplay mechanisms have no appeal to modern-day gamers, no matter how polished and good-looking the final product is.

After all the drama, all the hype and a lengthy development process, Skull and Bones is here, and it fails miserably. This is not a AAAA title, and even calling it a AAA title is highly debateable. I wouldn't waste my money on it and I recommend that you don't either.

Simply put, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is one of the most disappointing releases in recent years. The game is so fundamentally broken that even the promises of extra content and DLCs are unlikely to save it, leaving the fans to wonder why a studio like Rocksteady with such a strong resume would end up making something this bad.

Graven tries to swim against the market stream and offer something new, resembling games like Hexen and Heretic, but that’s pretty much all it does and eventually falls short in almost every other department.

Trying to slide in a DLC as a full- Fledged AAA title deals a massive blow to Modern Warfare 3’s Single and Multi Player experience, making it the one to forget or never even bother playing.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre offers solid co-op gameplay, but the problem is that not enough players appreciate it enough to keep the servers busy, and even though it's very entertaining it may not survive long enough to be worth your money.

Despite being the best game in the RoboCop universe, the fun and excitement are soon shadowed by frustration as broken shooting mechanisms and dull overall gameplay experience bite in.

EA Sports FC 24 lacks identity and innovation and is stuck between a fun arcade football game and a deep simulation, eventually failing to deliver for fans of either style. EA is facing no competition for its Football game at the moment and given the commercial success of the game, the future seems darker than ever.

Payday 3 is more of a work in progress rather than a final product as it suffers from tons of technical issues and lack of content. But it offers fantastic core gameplay mechanisms, and just perfect gunplay also builds a solid foundation that can be supported and improved by consistent updates.

The new version of Rise of the Triad is a good remaster but haven’t necessarily made the original game better in any meaningful way.

Exoprimal may offer engaging and sometimes exciting combat and the core gameplay mechanics are what you’d expect from a shooter, but it falls into a loop of repeating itself way too early and for an online experience, that’s the biggest issue. It has the potential to become much bigger and better than what it is right now, but unless those updates start rolling, I don’t recommend paying the full price just for potential.

Crash Team Rumble could become a hit in the future if and when more players decide to join the servers, but spending at least 30 bucks in its current state may not be a good idea.

Sonic and friends will always have a special place in our hearts for all those great memories, and that’s probably why SEGA is sacrificing quality and using Sonic’s name to generate money.

The latest entry in the Alien series tries a new formula by combining an isometric camera and strategy elements, and even though the gameplay part of the game is entertaining and engaging, the repetitive missions, flat story, and technical issues prevent it from reaching its full potential.

MotoGP 23 is not a game for everybody, and even the fans of arcade or semi-arcade racing will probably have a hard time enjoying it, even though there are improvements compared to last year's release, it still doesn't offer enough even for the simulation fans to jump on it right away.

The Bunker is a great addition to the Amnesia series and shows that Frictional Games is on the right path, and even though it doesn’t offer as much quality as the very first game, it’s still an atmospheric survival horror and is the best in the genre this year.

Lego 2K Drive is sure fun to play, but paying the full price for a game that doesn't exactly follow industry standards when it comes to season pass content and in-game purchases might not be a very good idea.

As much as we love Arkane Studios and their works, Redfall exceptionally disappoints in almost every aspect, and it seems that there is still a long way ahead for Arkane to polish all the issues up to the standards.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened targets a very specific group of gamers and delivers for them. It's definitely not for everybody, and if you are mainstream gamer with no interest in detective and puzzle oriented games, you can probably skip this one.

Mile 0 not only fails to improve on Road 96, but also fails to meet the same standards, and if you are not already in love with Road 96's world, you are better off skipping Mile 0 and spending your time and money elsewhere.

Rally Adventure may shine when it comes to visuals and pure entertainment, but as an expansion pack for the glorious Forza Horizon 5, you’d expect a much more comprehensive package. The substandard design of the roads and the nonexistence of official Rally rules are the main reasons why Rally Adventure is far behind the competition and it seems that Playground’s new policy is dragging the Forza series into a repetitive cycle.

As things stand right now, you should stay away from The Last of US on PC, for your sanity and your PC’s health. Hopefully, a mega patch will fix all the issues but the current version of the game is far inferior compared to even the PS4 version.

Despite all its interesting ideas, Scars Above fails to overcome its flaws and remains a mediocre experience, and with a vague ending, we can hope that the next installment, if any, can address all the shortcomings and fulfill its potential.

What Wanted: Dead lacks the most is identity. It could be fun to some extent but in general, nothing is outstanding about it. Everything from shooting elements, gameplay, narrative, mini-games, and even voice acting falls between bad and mediocre and the final product just not worth 60 dollars.

As an open world action RPG, Kakarot doesn’t have much to offer compared to the heavyweights of the genre, but it wouldn’t matter to the fans of Dragon Ball Z as the game is extremely loyal to Dragon Ball roots.

Forspoken is a massive open world game, and that's its biggest problem. It's unnecessarily big and there is not enough content and things to do to make up for this huge world, and even though the combat system, spell mechanisms and parkour gameplay are mostly solid, the final product feels shallow and unsatisfying.

Startup Company is fun, addictive, and full of issues! The console version of the game suffers from numerous bugs and problems such as broken user interface that makes playing with a controller a pain and a weird save system. If you are patient enough to either wait for the bugs to sort out or just get along with them you'll probably have a good time, but otherwise you can either skip it for now or go for the PC version.

The Cosmic Shake has its ups and downs, and is not an experience for just anybody, especially with its hefty 40 dollars price tag. If you are not a die-hard SpongeBob fan, you can probably skip this one or wait for the discount season.

The Callisto Protocol is mediocre at best with nothing to brag about as every aspect of the game like story, ending, boss fights, visuals and pretty much everything else is below the standards of 2022.

Gotham Knights fails to meet the expectations set by the Arkham series, and even though there is huge potential and material to work with, the end products is subpar in almost every aspect.

If you are into video games and also enjoy hunting, Way of the Hunter is a dream come true for you, as it's an extremely realistic hunting simulation that narrows everything down to the smallest of details, but this is not recommended for those who are impatient and have no knowledge about hunting and being a hunter.

Like the story that sets in the 60s, it seems that the developers’ mindset is also stuck back then, as none of the gameplay mechanisms are upgraded to meet today’s standards in this supposedly remade title.

Volition's name has always been tied with destructible environments, and Saints Row's reboot is no different. Unfortunately, that's not the only familiar thing as the level design, combat and gameplay mechanics are all mostly the same as almost 15 years ago.

MX Vs. ATV Legends is subpar in almost every aspect, even when compared to mediocre racing games from previous generation, and unless off-road racing is like air and water to your body, give yourself a favour and stay away from it.

If you are looking for pure entertainment when playing a video game, then Severed Steel does a very good job at giving you that. But if you are looking for something more than just entertainment, you may not be fully satisfied.

Arcade Paradise is a very unique game built for a very unique audience, and the fact that it can't keep a steady gameplay rhythm throughout makes it even more unlikely to please just any body. But for those who grew up when Arcade machines were dominating the entertainment industry, it will be a great experience to run and develop an Arcade store.

Caroline Marshall’s first independent project may not have panned out exactly as planned, but it shows enough potential in its story telling to convince some to give it a try, and if you already own a Game Pass subscription then you are just investing your time, which will probably worth it.

If you truly enjoyed the original Outriders, you'll probably have some more fun with Worldslayer expansion pack, although most of the shortcomings of the original game are still there.

Deliver us the Moon is a visual and auditory masterclass with an atmosphere comparable only to Hollywood movies, and if you can close your eyes on some of its gameplay design problems, you'll have a great adventure on the planet moon.

Kao the Kangaroo might be a solid reboot that walks you down the memory lane for a few hours, but it won't be an experience that stays with you for a long time, just like any other game in this franchise.

There is no denying that Sniper Elite 5 is the best game yet by Rebellion and the most complete entry in the series, but could it take the franchise to the next level and transform it from a mediocre experience to a top of the bar shooter? The answer is probably no.

Eternal Threads redefines story-telling when it comes to time travel concept; and while it's not necessarily a bad game, it doesn't offer enough in terms of gameplay or visuals to be considered a memorable experience.

Cat Café Manager is cozy, relaxing, and full of colours, and if you are looking for a not-so-serious business simulator, this just could be it.

WWE 2K22 manages to polish a lot of issues from the previous game, but it’s still not quite there yet. The good thing though is that it seems they put the first stone right, and the future of the series could be bright.

The King of Fighters XV seems to be extremely loyal to its philosophy by not making much effort to make the experience more appealing to a wider range of fighting players, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but if you are looking for another Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter, you’ll probably be disappointed.

Martha is Dead is far from what I thought It’d be, and even though it begins strong, things start to fall short and end in total disappointment.

Monark brings to the table a lot of fresh ideas, but the bad game design prevents the game from reaching its full potential, leaving you with nothing more than a mediocre experience.

As a Dynasty Warriors 9 spin-off, Empires falls behind the market in terms of both visuals and gameplay standards, and even though many of its gameplay mechanisms show huge potential, the final package fails to impress as it feels rushed and unpolished, leaving its ties to Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel the only upside for the fans to cling to.

Extraction could have made much more sense as an add-on or expansion pack for Siege, not a full fledged standalone release with almost full price and no improvements whatsoever over an already great game.

Like any other game by Hidetaka Suehiro, The Good Life is a unique experience with simple yet engaging gameplay and solid story telling, offering a few hours of pure meditation.

Code Fairy feels like an unfinished product struggling with tons of big and small issues, and fails to fully satisfy even the die hard fans of the Gundam series.

Chorus is full of great ideas that some are executed properly and some are not, and while the visuals look solid, they aren’t exactly “new generation”, and eventually prevent the game from being a hit.

This is the President is not entertaining in its nature, at least for the vast majority of gamers, but those few who are really into this types of games might actually enjoy being in the shoes of the most powerful man on earth.

The 1st chapter of Sherlock Holmes seems broken and lost, and fails to fully satisfy even the hardcore fans of the character.

As a fan of Demon Slayer series you’ll probably have an easier time communicating with the game, but for anybody else there isn’t much entertainment on offer here as long cut scenes and shallow gameplay really hurt the overall experience.

In the end, you’ll hate that you can’t love GTA Trilogy Remastered, at least in its current state, as tons of bugs and performance issues really ruin the fun. That said, if you grew up playing these titles and you can’t wait to get back into the good old days, the game is still playable, although we recommend that you wait for future updates to iron out the issues. As for new generation gamers who are used to modern gameplay and design, there is probably not much to look for here as the core gameplay mechanics of this package are really old.

The Considering that Riders Republic is not a sports simulation and only aims to offer fun and excitement, and even though there are a lot of problems that cannot be looked over and some of them directly affect the gameplay experience, the final package can still be entertaining while you jump on different vehicles and race around the big, crowded and colorful world of the game.

The ABC of horror games is that they tend to be frightening, but Maiden of Black Water is not only true to that, but also fails to stand up to Fatal Frame name and delivers a simple, average experience on every level.

Aragami 2 might be appealing to some stealth fans, but the final package ultimately fails to meet the current standards of the video games industry.

Hot Wheels Unleashed doesn’t have much to offer, and as an arcade racing can only be entertaining for a few hours before fading to the bottom of your game library.

While it's always exciting for the fans to see new version of their beloved games developed with modern standards, unfortunately this is not the case for every game, and when we look back we realize that some games just don't fit the profile. The Sonic series seems to be going down that path and unless the developers inject some really cool and exciting new ideas into the franchise, titles like Sonic Colors Ultimate will be nothing more than a good old memory.

Lake offers a relaxing, slow-paced experience that is not for everybody, but if you need a break from all the fast-paced action packed routine of these days and not looking to spend more than 20 bucks, then Lake can be a good choice for you.

The Medium is a game with great potential and bad execution, as its issues and problems such as limited gameplay, easy puzzles and bad camera work eventually overtake its great story telling and engaging atmosphere.

The Artful Escape feels like a novel written by a musician, and takes the music and electric guitar fans to a beautiful but not so perfect journey.

King's Bounty 2 is a rather complicated turned based strategy game that might not be appealing to every type of player, and even though the combat and strategy elements are deep and engaging, the developer's decision to include a boring and repetitive 3rd person gameplay to the game really hurts the overall experience.

If you are an arcade-style racing fan, Rims Racing is not for you, period. But if you are a motorcycle nut who enjoys racing simulation you will have lots of fun with Rims Racing's super deep career mode and detailed design of its motorcycles. Be warned though that on the technical side there are tons of issues, and either wait for patch updates or expect some major frame rate drops to the point of breaking the gameplay.

Tribes of Midgard feels adventurous and entertaining, and while the Endless mode is nothing special, the Saga section of the game carries the weight on its own and eventually delivers, even though some annoying bugs hurt the overall experience.

Metro Exodus: Complete Edition can cut both ways, and while it's appealing to some of the older fans of the series, it can't keep everybody happy. The extraordinary atmosphere and the great story however may be enough to give it a try.
