The themes discussed in the storyline are often dark, but above all it's a story about friendship and empathy. It's one of those games you have to play.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered is simply the most polished and richest version of one of the best and most influential video games ever. Despite the title, improvements in graphics are rather subtle and it's the gameplay that got a great bonus package. No Return is engaging, Lost Levels are a great gift for fans of the series, and unlocked frames offer more fluid action. It was already a "ten out of ten" game, now only more so.

CD Projekt Red is in excellent form and once again shows how game expansions should be made. Phantom Liberty is in many ways better than the base game. With the core already finished, developers were able to focus on world building, surprising story twists and side quests. Phantom Liberty was a true delight and my only regret is the fact we won't get another expansion. However, it's hard for me to imagine a better farewell for V.

Many think that Majora's Mask is the best iteration in The Legend of Zelda franchise.

The Original Majora's Mask was already excellent, but the new version is simply better.

Remnant 2 is simply the perfect sequel. It improves the elements that already made the first game great and interesting, while not changing what was best in the original. It is clear that the larger budget not only had a positive impact on the visuals and gameplay improvements, but also allowed the developers to unleash their imagination when it comes to world design. It is currently the best soulslike game not focused on melee weapons.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain impresses at every turn. It's a vast and addictive game that manages to surprise even after many hours. Few minor bugs and repeatability are the only drawbacks. The final Metal Gear from Kojima is definitely worth recommending.

An excellent and huge game. The positives are emphasized by detailed world that seems more alive now than ever before.

Tekken 8's combat - the essence of the game - doesn't disappoint and keeps you engaged, while multitude of add-ons and modes won't let you get bored for years to come.

Many things are executed much better than in the first two installments, and we finally feel that we have a real impact on the world and events. It's like taking part in the best session of a tabletop RPG.

Rare Replay is a delight and the perfect formula for collections of older games. The only downside is the lack of control options in some of the games.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is another interesting and modern installment in the adventure series. The campaign, despite slight problems with stereotypes, is extremely engaging and full of interesting scenes - even after the end credits.

It goes without saying that it's an absolute must-play for fans of the series, but Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - combined with the Remake - is also the perfect entry point for new people. It's an adventure filled to the brim with fun and prepared with a punch, but also with great care.

If you would like to enjoy RPG games some more, stay away from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Warhorse studio sets the bar so high that the competition will have a hard time jumping over it.

Mortal Kombat 1 can quickly become number one on the list of the best installments of the series.

Alan Wake 2 pushes the boundaries of the interactive medium, surpassing not only previous games from the Remedy, but any other production of this scale.

Whatever it is, you won't find another game like it.

Spider-Man 2 takes a while to get into gear and certainly isn't perfect, but Insomniac once again delivers solid results.

Horizon Call of the Mountain is not only a showcase of PS VR2 capabilities, but also a great adventure. Open world of this well-known brand has been transferred to virtual reality in a successful and highly imaginative way.

Battlefield 6 is exactly what fans of the series have been asking for over the years. It plays things relatively safe, but perfectly captures the essence of the franchise’s most beloved entries. It’s refreshing to see a major publisher actually respond to player feedback instead of doubling down on bad decisions and pretending that’s what the community wanted. The campaign is a typical ‘play it and forget it’ experience that the game could easily do without, but the multiplayer delivers pure, explosive fun in a pleasantly old-school fashion.

It’s nice to see that Capcom isn’t chasing trends - something you can also say about a few other Japanese studios. Pragmata is a linear action game that’s fun, engaging, and pleasantly old-school in its design. It doesn’t try too hard to be cinematic or overloaded with mechanics, and it’s not a live-service game either. It’s simply a great adventure for a few evenings.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a game that the most famous archaeologist in pop culture simply deserved. Not only the biggest fans of action adventure movies will appreciate how brilliantly the MachineGames studio has managed to create an engaging world full of surprises. Also, Indy performed by Troy Baker is phenomenal and authentic - not for a moment did I feel that the absence of Harrison Ford's voice is a flaw.

As a fan of the series, I am very happy that Doom: The Dark Ages turned out to be a breath of fresh air for the series. It took me 18 hours to complete the game, but I will definitely be back to max out each of the 22 levels. The new combat features, like the shield-related mechanics, are good enough that I'd like to see them in some form in future installments of the series. The final score is brought down by minor glitches and a handful of not very well thought-out elements, like the boring dragon segments. For fans of unusual takes on fantasy or just old-school shooters, however, this is obviously a must have.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a dynamic and challenging soulslike that combines a handful of original ideas with many systems refined within the genre over the past years. While not all of its solutions feel fully successful, this steeped in Asian aesthetics game is impressive and stands as a commendable debut from Chinese studio Leenzee. A must-play for any fan of games inspired by the works of FromSoftware.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best AA games of recent years. It's also a piece of really solidly written and unique story that is simply worth experiencing in person - especially if you have a taste for turn-based combat systems. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Sandfall Interactive will get the opportunity to create another, equally artistically daring game that will make up for the shortcomings of the debut project. The potential of this team is gigantic.

The formula known from Little Nightmares has undergone a subtle evolution, and you can feel that Reanimal is a different brand, sharing only similar DNA. On paper, the changes might sound slightly off-putting, but in practice everything works exactly as it should, and it’s hard to tear yourself away from the screen. It’s a strong title that avoids excessive grotesque elements, bluntness, and violence; instead, Reanimal resonates on a different, much deeper level - somewhat like This War of Mine. It’s an experience worth going through.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the result of a well-thought-out evolution of the series. Every new idea and all the changes - although not revolutionary - turned out to be a jackpot. And although Capcom still struggles with a few familiar flaws, it's simply hard to tear yourself away from this game.

The biggest and most beautiful entry to date, and ridiculously fun to play - that’s Forza Horizon 6 in a nutshell. It’s just a shame the developers didn’t push for more fresh ideas or lean harder into the atmosphere of the Land of the Rising Sun, which leaves the new installment feeling less distinct from its predecessors than it could have been.

The Alters impresses with its sci-fi setting and the story seamlessly woven into it. It's not just another survival game with base-building elements - those mechanics serve a greater purpose: telling the story of Jan Dolski, a man forced to do the impossible in order to survive. While it’s not without a few rough edges and technical shortcomings, The Alters stands as another strong entry in the portfolio of 11 bit studios.
