    Kirby Air Riders pleasantly surprises with its excellent controls and the developers' creative approach to track design. It's impossible to get bored here, and thanks to the many great game modes, everyone should find something for themselves.

    Battlefield 6 listens to the community and successfully returns to what we know from parts three and four. EA DICE has abandoned controversial ideas, giving us the best installment in the series in years. It's a bit conservative, but very playable.

    A tasty but ultimately low-calorie addition to the excellent Kirby and the Forgotten World.

    An engaging interactive film that also offers quite cool gameplay. Everything that is best about it stems from excellent screenwriting: humor, interesting characters, and an epic finale.

    Anno 117: Pax Romana rejects the industrial revolution, replacing it with stable evolution. New mechanics and improved production chains add freshness and character. A harmonious, patience-demanding strategy where less can mean more.

    Remasters should refresh and fix, not add more problems. Unfortunately, Sacred 2 Remaster is a mistake that should never have been released, because... the old edition is simply better. Better, but not necessarily playable these days.

    For over two decades, Syberia has been moving and thought-provoking, and now it can reach new generations, although I am aware that many new players will bounce off it, unable to swallow a certain dose of naivety in this story.

    Pokémon Legends: Z-A is one of the most successful installments in the series in recent years. The new real-time combat system works great, and the game itself is hard to put down. Unfortunately, the graphics are disappointing.

    It's Painkiller in name only, with only a few weapon models and enemies in common with the original. It's playable and doesn't make your eyes bleed, but it's definitely not the reboot I was dreaming of.

    If Bloodlines 2 had changed its title, been shortened by half, and had its combat cut down, I might have looked at it more favorably. Unfortunately, we got a game that was disappointing in every way and simply insulting to the legendary original.

    Obsidian has run out of steam when it comes to storytelling, once again delivering a distinctly flat world within The Outer Worlds universe and prioritizing form over substance. Fortunately, the polished gameplay allows you to enjoy the sequel.

    Keeper combines post-apocalyptic and surreal tropes in a coherent way, far from the phantasmagoria of AI. The story of the lighthouse and its bird companion is something worth discovering, regardless of whether we like adventure games or find this genre unfamiliar.

    Unfortunately, poor optimization, boring plot, stumbles in gameplay balance, and a number of minor bugs negatively affect what is otherwise a very good gaming experience.

    EA Sports wants to please everyone, which is why FC 26 is caught between two game modes representing opposite extremes. It's good that the developers are trying, but unfortunately, the results of their work are rather disappointing at this point.

    Hades 2 is a textbook example of what an ideal sequel should look like. More content, more time to spend in the game without feeling bored, and above all, more fun. Industry giants can learn from the small Supergiant Games how to make games.

    Both parts of Super Mario Galaxy are still phenomenal 3D platformers, worth playing even today. The problem is that the anniversary compilation looks like it was put together in a hurry, and its price is more off-putting than appealing.

    One of the best metroidvanias in history with unnecessarily malicious game design and a lack of accessibility options.

    It's very good, but it could have been even better. The authors managed to reach the quality of Little Nightmares II, but in my opinion, they didn't surpass it. That's still enough of a recommendation to give the third installment a try.

    Sucker Punch has once again created a beautiful samurai story. Its strongest points: graphics, a new arsenal of weapons, the path of revenge against the Yotei Six, and the wonderful Atsu.

    Dying Light: The Beast is a successful return to the roots of the series, although it is occasionally noticeable that it is indeed an expansion pack transformed into a full-fledged game.

    Bloober Team focused primarily on combat, which, due to several frustrating design choices, is more irritating than satisfying. However, the game excels in terms of its world, music and atmosphere — these elements are sensational.

    Reikon Games mixed Doom with Ghostrunner, added a pinch of Titanfall 2 and Metroid Prime, and shook it all up to create a unique and delicious cocktail. Now that's what I call a surprise!

    Hell Is Us is a game difficult to ignore, even though it is far from perfect. It certainly excels as puzzle adventure game and leaves the player with a lot to think about, not shying away from provocative statements about the nature of war.

    It's amazing how Nintendo can constantly reinvent its franchises. Donkey Kong's return is so successful that it could inspire other developers, just as Breath of the Wild once did. Bananza is a must-play for fans of the genre and a great reason to pick up a Switch 2.

    The Fall of Avalon starts promisingly, but the contender for the title of Polish Skyrim exposes itself to an underdeveloped second half of the game. Still, it's worth giving it a chance.

    The developers of F1 25 have clearly learned from the mistakes of the previous instalment. The game is definitely reminiscent of the golden days of the series - offering Formula 1 fans the most complete and polished instalment in years.

    An ideal example of a remaster. The production retains the spirit of the original, adds plenty of content, improves graphics and audio, and the challenging gameplay provides satisfaction for old-timers and newcomers alike.

    John Carpenter and Ron Gilbert can be proud of Dave Lloyd. The Drifter is a successful combination of retro point'n'click and 1980s sci-fi horror - and how paradoxically fresh and modern it all is.

    After having played the THPS 1 + 2 remasters, the new package is no longer surprising, but offers loads of great fun for all fans of the series. There are almost 20 excellent skateparks and challenges that can be tackled for hours.

    Such a simple, visually blank and short game, which is essentially a tech demo dressed up in walking sim robes, should be free. Even the minigames showcasing the console's new capabilities prove insufficiently attractive to explain this cash heist.
