Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV is the perfect choice for the fans of this epic historical event, but it's not a perfect choice for the fans of turn based strategies. Gameplay flaws are here and there, and some mechanics are not deep enough, making it not a very strong contender in the genre. However, console players can still enjoy it given the fact that there are not many options available on the consoles in this genre.

Conan Unconquered is a unique title in the strategy genre, but either due to limited budget or lack of time, the developers failed to reach the full potential of their ideas. Conan has the potential to become one of the best strategies in the market, and maybe developers can reach that potential through future updates, but at its current state, Conan Unconquered might not be the best option for the fans of the genre.

If not for some serious technical issues, Elex would have become one of the best Role Playing titles of this year. Yet its dark and compelling story along with huge world full of different stuff to do will surely make it worthy of some of your hours.

Pathologic 2 returns with its engaging and mysterious story, and makes progress in translation and menu design as well, but in technical terms the same old issues are obvious. Maybe these issues will be addressed in the future episodes, but since then, get ready to come across some weird ones, while enjoying its wonderful storytelling style.

198X is a good mixture of clones of older games, and the fact that it focuses on a teenager's life and how identity crisis can affect that life really pays off in the end, as this whole concept makes it a unique experience. The developers though seem to lack experience to put the final touches in the right place, and that's the only reason 198X is not as good as other top indie titles of 2019.

Project Warlock tries to revive the memory of classic shooters, and does a great job at that, but half-way along the way, it gets repetitive and ultimately fails to be a superb shooter.

The remastered version of Darksiders for Nintendo Switch is a journey to the end of the world, and at the same time a journey back to what we already experienced in the series, and expected that some of them would improve. The gameplay is exactly the same as before, with all the pros and cons, and even the visuals are not worthy of a remastered title. All in all, the remastered version of Darksiders is nothing more than a simple port for the Switch platform.

Tropico 6 might not be the revolution that the series need, but dealing with different political streams, problems and challenges that the residents of your city face, and building a beautiful city, are more than enough to entertain you for hours.

Greedfall, the latest release from Spiders, reminds you of some of the best classic RPGs, but it fails when it comes to mixing all those classic gameplay mechanics with new and modern ones. Some very good RPG elements and great story telling are there to enjoy from, but some annoying issues including technical problems, weak combat system and the game's protagonist character design are also there to ruin your joy. In the end, Greedfall can be considered a good RPG, especially for the old school fans, but it is certainly not for everybody.

Swords & Soldiers 2 aims to entertain, and achieves that by utilizing very simple gameplay mechanics and rather short levels. It focuses too much on story telling though, which affects the gameplay experience a little bit. In the end, Swords & Soldiers 2 is a simple and fun strategy title, and nothing more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Legacy of the First Blade is pretty short, lacks content and ends just when it starts to get exciting, and unless you are a die-hard fan of the series, I suggest you to wait until the release of the next DLC to see if it's worth the shot.

The Surge takes the Dark Souls series formula and throws it into a sci-fi setting. And while it suffers from poor narration, a huge and interesting world combined with a fresh and innovative combat system prove to be more than enough to consider it a success. If you are up for a Souls-like challenge in a sci-fi world, The Surge is a great choice.

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.

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.

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.

Journey to the Savage Planet takes around 10 to 12 hours to complete, and you'll come across some neat gameplay ideas along the way, although nothing is that special.

Aegis Defenders tries to provide a great experience with its pixel art visuals and tower defense mechanisms, and although some parts of gameplay are not polished enough, solid tower defense experience alone will worth your time.

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.

Styx: Shards of Darkness could have been a big hit in the stealth genre if not for its few AI, control and level-design flaws. Still, the whole package is so fun, unique and charming that stealth fans will definitely enjoy it.

Even with open world gameplay which is a nice addition to the series, Dynasty Warriors 9 is still far from what it wants to be. Positive changes are there, but they are not enough to convince new players. However, fans of the series will have a great time playing it.

Tannenberg is a good FPS in general that has things to say in World War 1's not so busy market, and it can even satisfy fans of realistic shooters too. However, some technical and design issues prevent the game from reaching its full potential.

At the moment, God Eater 3 is the best option for the fans of the genre, and while some control and graphical issues are here and there, the gameplay is solid and the multiplayer section is very entertaining.

Project CARS 3 is good, but not good enough to compete with the likes of GRiD or Forza Horizon. The path chosen by Slightly Mad studios for the third version of the game is full bumps that divert the whole series from being pioneers of the semi-simulation genre to an average racing game.

No matter how hard Typoman tries, it’ll always be remembered as a Limbo clone. Puzzles are fun at first and visuals and audio design are good enough, but that doesn’t change the fact that Typoman has nothing new to offer.

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.

Despite a good story, eye-catching art design and solid combat, Omensight has suffered from very poor controls, and there are minor issues which can affect the gameplay. All in all, Omensight is a good game, and it might be worth a shot.

Conan Exiles is dated and full of bugs, but it's also very fun due to a good story and huge amount of contents, and if you can overlook its many technical issues, you might end up having a great time playing it.

After so many years of development, Final Fantasy XV is not what I expected it to be. The universe is immense and beautiful and the characters are just fine. But the story is short and disappointing and the gameplay suffers from lack of depth. FFXV is a good game, but it can never bring the former glories back to the series.

Although Fallen Tree Games is a small studio who mostly focused on mobile games until now, they managed to develop a great title using ideas and mechanisms that used to entertain us a lot, and if not for a few shortcomings here and there (probably because of budget limits) it could have done even better.

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.

By putting players in the role of a snake, Snake Pass delivers a warm, charming and colorful adventure. The gameplay is unique and the controls are very original though a little difficult to get used to. Snake pass might be short and challenging through the end, but it’s an experience that you won’t forget any time soon.

Just like any other Telltale game, Guardians of the Galaxy is a great adaptation. It suffers from some minor technical and gameplay issues, but strong story, high replay value, and marvelous sound design and music easily overcome those shortcomings.

Even though Blackwood Crossing is very short and full of bugs, it narrates a wonderful story that touches your heart and soul. You cannot find another experience close to this one.

FAIRY TAIL is a good experience as long as you are a fan of the anime series. It offers an interesting combat system and enough challenges to keeps those who are already in love with the anime engaged, but if you approach it as a typical RPG player you'll probably have a hard time finding a connection, as it is less deep and complicated than your average RPG game.

The first expansion pack for Assassin's Creed Valhalla can cut both ways, as good visuals, great music and deep gameplay on one side and repetitive game design, shallow story and weak character design on the other cancel each other out.

Despite it’s wonderful art style, great soundtrack and beautiful story, Memoranda throws a great number of illogical puzzles at you; and that’s what ruins a point and click adventure game.

Rise and Shine is visually solid and the gunplay is brutal. But the fact that it tries to combine many elements of action platformer games into one product actually makes it slow-paced and repetitive.

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.

Repetitive gameplay and high price prevent Onrush from becoming a new benchmark in racing genre, but it can still be fun for die hard fans of arcade racing.

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.

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.

You’ll rarely face a situation where you have an idea that the game wouldn’t let you expand on. Planet Coaster is just the most complete theme-park simulation game available.

Monster Energy Supercross in one of the very few solid Motor Racing games that has been developed in recent years, and I strongly suggest that you give it a try if you are a racing fan. Even with very inconsistent servers and poor audio design and music, the game still offers plenty in terms of gameplay and visuals, and with continued support from developers, it can become a great racing franchise.

Crossing Souls blends the platforming, beat’em up and RPG genres and takes you back to the 80s with its colorful pixel-art graphics and classic gameplay.

Mother Russia bleeds takes you back to the good old 80s and arcade machines. It’s gory, it’s brutal, it’s fun, it’s nostalgic. Don’t miss it.

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.

Despite suffering from several issues and the fact that it is not suitable for many types of gamers, Blood Bowl 2 is heaven on earth for tabletop fanatics. Deep gameplay, strong campaign mode and the ability to build different teams with different lineups really help increase the fun. And don’t forget that all of the downloadable contents are also included in the Legendary Edition.

Just Cause 4 is neither a revolution nor a weak entry in the series, but it is actually the most complete Just Cause title yet. JC4 gathers everything positive from the previous games, adds some other things on top of that, and despite a repetitive gameplay and some story telling issues, still manages to at least satisfy the fans of the series.

Even though Evil Genius 2 has not developed that much in terms of gameplay and story, the visual improvements are so good that can actually lift the game and fully satisfy the hardcore fans of Base Building genre.

Stronghold: Warlords is a good strategy, but not good enough to take series back to its glory as there's nothing really new and exciting about the game's formula.

Invincible VS has the look and the soul of a great fighter, but the mechanics can't keep up. It nails the source material and features a deep, Killer Instinct-inspired combo engine, but the "finished" product feels unfinished. Between a hollow story mode, broken balancing, and a nearly unplayable online suite, it’s clear the game was released prematurely. It’s essentially an Early Access title in disguise; Until the developers fix the bugs and refine the core systems, it remains a diamond in the very rough.

Gundam Versus might not be the best fighting game around, But its varied Mobile Suit abilities will definitely help increase the fun. A great addition to the Gundam universe.

For the lovers of heavy trucks, 4 wheel drives and Jeeps, and for the lovers of rough roads and difficult conditions, Spintires is the real deal. Spintires is a solid driving simulation like no other game before, and while its camera angels and controls might be annoying at first, the top-notch visuals and sharp gameplay eventually help it to become one of the best driving simulations available on the market.

Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden tries to deliver a new experience in the Hidden Object genre, counting on its varied puzzles and solid story and atmosphere. And although some small issues may ruin the fun sometimes, the overall package is really appealing to the fans of the genre.

Fractured Mask takes the story to a new direction by representing Catwoman and focusing more on Batman’s role. The only downside is that the choices from previous episode aren’t really in effect here and one might feel that this will continue in the future episodes too.

The third entry in Orcs Must Die! series is an incomplete sequel that lacks new, innovative content, but nevertheless it's still entertaining and addictive.

If you are not a fan of the genre or you cant get along with its slow tempo, it may be better to just ignore it. But nevertheless, an engaging story mix with a deep atmosphere make Narcosis a very unique title.

Code Vein tries so hard to be more than a Dark Souls clone, and it succeeds when it comes to the story and character design. But gameplay wise, it fails to execute the successful Dark Souls formula and eventually lands somewhere between Soulslike games and Japanese Action RPGs, unable to fully satisfy fans of either genre.

Rock of Ages 3: Make and Break offers a very different experience in terms of world design and atmosphere, and an entertaining -yet nothing too special- gameplay. It's not a game for everybody, but if you happen to have the right group of people gathered around, you'll have a great time with 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.

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.

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.

Although Dead or Alive 6 has nothing new to offer, it's still a very solid and fun fighting game that fully satisfies the hardcore fighting fans.

There is no denying that A Total War Saga: Troy is suffering from numerous problems, as the formula that started with Rome 2 and reached its full potential with Warhammer 2 is starting to show its age, and proves that it is time for major changes in the core mechanisms of the series. All that said, Troy is still an entertaining experience if you are a hardcore strategy fan and can keep you engaged for many, many hours.

The second episode of Guardians of the Galaxy focuses more on character relationships in their pasts and continues to tell a great story. However, some technical glitches along with below par QTE scenes prevent it from becoming a superb title.
