Baldur's Gate 3 is an outstanding and complete RPG. All of its elements work brilliantly and mesh together to create something unique. Calling this game a continuation of the series may be a bit controversial, but it doesn't change the fact that this game is as close to a masterpiece as it gets. 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.

It's no secret The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was made because Nintendo had a lot of additional content and mechanics they didn't manage to fit in the previous game. What we get in the sequel is a direct continuation of the story on a familiar map, but the new skills and interactions save us from the feeling that "we're playing the same thing.

Despite being a bit disappointed with the new Astro Bot, I still think every PlayStation 5 owner should play it. It's one of the few titles that takes full advantage of the console's potential, showing us what PS5 games could be today if developers were more willing to use the tools developed by Sony engineers.

Another large portion of the same thing isn't necessarily a bad thing, if all the most important elements are made with respect for the base material and that's exactly the case with the first and only Elden Ring expansion.

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.

The original Resident Evil 4 brought a number of revolutionary gameplay changes, and many fans still regard it as the best installment in the series. Returning to such a cult game was never going to be easy. Fortunately, Capcom did very well, creating its best remake yet.

Inside is short but immensely interesting, telling its story almost like a silent movie, without words. Playday has once again managed to create something unique, a game that stays with us for hours after finishing the story.

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.

Square Enix has given us one of the best games in recent years and a worthy reinterpretation of a cult classic. 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.

Nintendo icon is back in glorious style. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is one of the best games in the series and certainly the prettiest 2D Mario ever. Developers surprise with innovation, lovely levels and beautiful childlike imagination.

A dark and engaging adventure, with an excellent combat system, an ideal dose of innovation and fascinating exploration.

The Witcher 3 is a masterpiece, and in many respects simply the best and most exciting game in recent years. It captivates players with artistic vision, a huge world and an epic story. The developers were not looking for cheap applause - game design is uncompromising, consistent, thoughtful and nuanced.

Atlus proves once again that it is a master of its niche, and that the developers still have inexhaustible reserves of creativity. The new IP is not afraid to draw from it, and elements known from other games of the Japanese studio have been skillfully chosen and polished almost to perfection.

When it comes to expansion packs, Blood and Wine is truly a masterpiece: huge scale, beautiful vistas, interesting stories and multitude of activities beyond the main quest. A wonderful goodbye for one of the best games in a long, long time.

Overwatch in a nutshell? Satisfaction, competition, excitement and heaps of fun, thanks to extremely refined gameplay. One of the best online shooters available, with plenty of varied characters to choose from and master.

Playground Games reminds us once again that a car can be nothing more than a huge, expensive toy. Breaking the law in the Australian outback and building a great festival is a lot of fun - the newest Forza Horizon is the best one yet.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a wild ride of destruction that’s hard to resist. It’s absolutely packed with content and turns our gaming habits upside down - and it’s devilishly addictive. I keep telling myself I’ll grab just one more banana and then take a break. But it never stops at just one!

Split Fiction is one of the best narrative co-op games available. Hazelight once again proved that they are the masters of the genre by eliminating virtually all the shortcomings of their previous game, It Takes Two. At the same time, the developers have managed not to lose their distinctive style, delivering a title that is fun, at times challenging and above all, bursting with creativity.

Spider-Man 2 takes a while to get into gear and certainly isn't perfect, but Insomniac once again delivers solid results. Side activities are better thought out, traversing New York City is even more fun and delightful to look at and combat still works well. All of it dipped in a truly cinematic sauce, with the "premium" feel of a Sony's first-party game. The sequel is clearly a better game than the first one, which is, after all, the whole point.

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.

Street Fighter 6 surpasses its predecessor in almost every respect, with breath of fresh air in a 35-year-old franchise. It's a colorful feast for the eyes and great fun for every fan of 2D brawlers - whether you're looking for a quick match or plan to spend thousands of hours perfecting your skills.

First expansion for Witcher 3 is an intriguing story and a great occasion to return to Northern Kingdoms. Hearts of Stone keeps your attention from beginning to the very end, including side quests.

Many think that Majora's Mask is the best iteration in The Legend of Zelda franchise. These opinions are certainly not a coincidence, although constant chase after vanishing seconds, repeating the same steps multiple times and one weaker dungeon could be a distraction. The Original Majora's Mask was already excellent, but the new version is simply better.

A unique concept polished to perfection by evolution - without any compromises along the way. Dark Souls 3 is beautiful, with great art direction and equally wonderful music. An outstanding effort by FromSoftware and a phenomenal ending for the series.

High quality, old-school RPG with a lot of fresh ideas, providing hours of fascinating gameplay.

Titanfall 2 is better than the first game in almost every aspect. Campaign connects us with the world, and multiplayer is improved thanks to more varied Titans and maps. Respect for Respawn: for listening to the consumers and providing almost a perfect sequel.

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.

We had to wait almost a decade, but it was worth it. 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. It's not a revolution, but another phenomenal Tekken, one of the best in the series.

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.

Despite some shortcomings, the remake of Dead Space is the best thing a fan of the series could've asked for, but it's also a great experience for a wider group of horror and sci-fi enthusiasts. Isaac's adventures are still exceptional, with excellent atmosphere, story, and enjoyable gameplay - and all of this is even more intense than before.

Fans of Death Stranding will find more of what they know and love in the sequel - only bigger and better. Those who dismissed the series as a ‘delivery simulator’ probably won’t change their minds. But both camps are likely to appreciate the boldness and freedom with which Hideo Kojima continues to blur the line between game and film.

Twelve hours with Leon and Grace were a hellishly satisfying experience, from the very first moments of gameplay to the thrilling finale. Resident Evil Requiem is one of the strongest modern entries in the series - technically polished, full of genuine emotion, and impressively varied in its gameplay ideas. The only major complaint is the game’s length - with such diverse mechanics on display, you can’t help but wish there was more, just to see it fully spread its wings.

One of the best games for PS VR 2. Red Matter 2 expertly combines puzzles and impressive graphics. All of that together with intuitive controls creates a mix you can't ignore.

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. It's a great piece of immersive storytelling but also something so much more. An artistic manifesto? A dialogue between the creator and his creation? Whatever it is, you won't find another game like it.

An ideal combination of smart simplicity in mechanics and an incredible depth of content. Stardew Valley offers a pure, relaxing experience and hours upon hours of fun and gameplay.

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.

Although Lorelei and the Laser Eyes caught my attention a long time ago, I did not expect it to be one of the best, if not the best game I have ever played.

Super Mario Maker is a successful experiment that combines a great level editor with an endless stream of new content from the community. It turns out that the Princess is always in another castle, and the players will have to crawl through few million worlds to find her. Mamma Mia!

The perfect sequel from Firaxis - better, bigger and more impressive, for dozens of hours. Minor troubles with Enemy Unknown's engine never influence the gameplay in negative ways.

In the light of recent sequels, Dishonored 2 is fresh, creative, and simply enjoyable. It's hard to stop experimenting with new weapons and abilities, which makes it's hard to stop playing, even when the campaign is finished.

Ori and the Blind Forest is full of charm and beautiful, with captivating adventure and well-polished gameplay.

Despite some shortcomings, Civilization 6 is just great fun. It's amazing how, after two decades, this series still evolves, provides innovations and moves forward. Many gameplay systems were designed from the scratch, but everything works together very well. Now we just have to wait for patches with improvements to the AI.

Battlefield 1 provides a fresh enough approach to the total war concept, in which this series has thrived for years. It's only a shame that the classic conflict was a bit "modernized" with pervasive machine guns. Nevertheless, it's a great game, with an interesting campaign and extensive multiplayer.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was always a game built on solid foundations, but that doesn't mean a remake wasn't needed. While this new edition doesn't fix all the problems, it is undoubtedly the best option for catching up with the iconic RPG and getting to know its unique crew of characters.

Diverse content, great locations and a number of well-thought-out changes make Legion one of the best opportunities to go back to World of Warcraft. The road to "max level" is a pure pleasure and new endgame activities don't disappoint.

Owlboy is a charming game, with amazing graphics, interesting story and great heroes. It's also quite long, providing more than 10 hours of gameplay. D-pad's title definitely shines, as one of the best projects in saturated world of indie games in recent years.

Nioh offers long hours of satisfying gameplay - in very specific form, interesting mostly for fans of the Souls series. Great combat system and constant challenge keeps us engaged, and the adventure is well worth the time, despite lackluster story and lore.

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. A beautiful world, a ton of out-of-the-box ideas and a great story have come together to create an outstanding, though not perfect, work of art. Above all, however, it is a game tailored for fans who know what they want and what they have been waiting for for years.

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.

The Old Hunters provides a dozen or so hours of engaging gameplay and an extra dose of grim atmosphere. Exploration of the mysterious world is still a huge pleasure.

Saros is a fantastic roguelite shooter, although it doesn’t make quite the same impact as Returnal - mainly because of the many similarities between the two. It lacks that same sense of freshness, and its narrative layer isn’t nearly as captivating. Still, the combat, boss fights, and exploration of intriguing locations deliver an incredibly enjoyable experience that’s downright addictive. It’s definitely a game worth checking out.

Final Fantasy XVI is something very different from what fans know, and yet by some miracle Square Enix managed to maintain the series' identity. A successful step in a new direction.

The third Batman game from Rocksteady is an excellent title, undoubtedly the best in studio's history. It impresses not only with beautiful graphics and a dark city, but also due to a great selection of characters and brilliant storyline.

Forza Motorsport 6 raises the bar for racing simulators. Well designed Xbox One controller is ideal for this kind of game, and racing stays interesting even after many hours on track - Forza 6 is a new racing king on consoles.

A relatively simple gameplay concept in The Witness was translated into one of the best puzzle games in years, with gorgeous graphics. Hundreds of panels to solve can sound a little monotonous, but there's no time for boredom.

Konami polished almost every aspect of Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, eliminating most of the disadvantages of previous titles. This anniversary edition is undoubtedly the best one in PES history, and perhaps the best virtual football in general.

NBA 2K16 is a solid and satisfying game. Once you get used to the controls and master the basics, gameplay will provide hours of great fun in variety of modes, even if the career is not that impressive. Unfortunately, the servers are also not always up to the task.

World of Warcraft is once again compelling thanks to Warlords of Draenor. Introduced changes and innovations makes it a great expansion.

The Nathan Drake Collection is worth playing, even if we've already finished the games on PlayStation 3. It's a perfect remaster that enhances not only resolution, but also every other aspect of the games - with benefits for the players.

Diablo 4 is certainly a tasty proposition for fans of the series, but their appetite may not be fully satisfied. Repetitive nature of side activities and their small rewards steer us towards the storyline, which initially also leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, the foundations for further development are solid, the combat is satisfying and the size of the world offers plenty to do.

Total War: Warhammer is a successful entry in the storied franchise, its biggest advantage being the opportunity to guide perfectly recreated units from the tabletop original. This diversity encourages to try and finish all the campaigns, even though the differences between armies should have been emphasized a little bit stronger.

The best entry in the Monster Hunter series. Hunting is highly addictive and the satisfaction after beating the next beast is simply priceless.

Silent Hill 2 Remake turns out to be a surprisingly conservative and safe game that neither revolutionizes the original nor desecrates it. The changes it brings are primarily due to the benefits of modern technology. The modifications and innovations that Bloober Team has indulged in are a bit timid, but they would not be possible without a thorough understanding of the original and what made it a legend. And that is no easy task.

Despite minor shortcomings, Her Story is a game worth playing.

The idea of bringing the iconic Mario Kart into an open-world setting sounded great on paper, but it ended up being a bit too ambitious for the developers, who didn’t fully tap into its potential. Thankfully, it’s still the same classic Nintendo racing fun we know and love, with the refined gameplay perfected in previous installments continuing to deliver tons of enjoyment. On top of that, we get new driving tricks, beautiful tracks, the always-excellent music, and an impressive visual presentation.

Despite the absence of several features from the FES and Portable editions, Persona 3 Reload is a complete and phenomenal game that not only manages to draw you in and entertain you for over 90 hours, but also carries a surprising amount of warmth. 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.

Ghost of Yotei is a worthy successor to Ghost of Tsushima, building on its predecessor’s formula while improving on many aspects. It’s also a rare example of an open-world game that manages to stay engaging even after dozens of hours.

An excellent remaster: this real-time strategy gem is now available with beautiful, breathtaking graphics.

It’s devilishly addictive, dazzling with its visuals and cohesive retro-futuristic world. It rewards knowledge of enemies and items, as well as careful decision-making. It delivers unforgettable solo gameplay and tons of excitement in co-op. ARC Raiders is one of my most pleasant surprises of 2025.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an RPG tailored for fans of the first game. They will get everything that delighted them 12 years ago, but in greater quantity and with a more careful execution. However, Capcom got lost somewhere in the process and forgot that there are also a lot of people who expected more than just a better first game. It is undoubtedly a bold title that tries to combine features of an RPG, hack'n'slash and a "road game" in an original way, but it didn't master any of these elements.

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.

It's hard to imagine a more effective revolution of a storied franchise. Resident Evil 7 makes us want to be scared while we discover the secrets of an old mansion. The visit in the Baker's house is sufficiently short to leave you terrified and patiently await the next Resident Evil.

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.

SteamWorld Heist is one of the biggest surprises of 2015. Pleasant turn-based gameplay is never boring and the humorous aspect is only positive. Most importantly, the fighting system is extremely engaging, even at the very beginning.

A unique atmosphere, unhurried narrative and very challenging gameplay. This game draws you in, engages you and will not let you forget it.

Destiny is back on track thanks to The Taken King. It's a very good expansion that managed to enrich almost every aspect of the game and provide countless hours of gameplay.

The few shortcomings are not enough to make Heroes of the Storm less satisfying. It's a light and pleasant MOBA, at least in comparison with Dota 2 and League of Legends. Definitely worth a try - and it costs us nothing.

Great fun for skateboarding enthusiasts. Requires patience and commitment, but it's deeply rewarding.

Codemasters listened very carefully to the community, developing a great racing game. DiRT Rally does not disappoint and keeps you in front of the screen for hours on end. All we can hope for is new content - more cars and tracks.

Rocket League is the perfect game for short sessions. Gameplay is quick and easy to understand, with nice graphics to boot. Lack of diversity is the game biggest issue - delight quickly turns into boredom.

Fantastic game with a mature storyline and one of the biggest surprises of 2014.

Even though Cities: Skylines is not without flaws, it's still the best game in city-building genre.

"Dragon Quest VIII is one of the best classic jRPGs" - this notion still stands today, in 2017. Fans of the genre certainly can't miss it and there's a chance this fantastic adventure will be interesting even for people who prefer different games.

After many years of living in the shadow of the brave Link, Zelda has finally been given a protagonist role in her own game. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a colorful and charming spin-off that may, however, offer too little to appeal to fans of Breath of the Wild.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is decent fun, but nothing more than that. Respawn lost the charm of the first game, going for "trendy" solutions but executing them in a merely correct way. Instead of betting on a thoughtful development of the formula, Respawn put emphasis on misguided elements that the game didn't need.

Starfield seems to be formed by many great ideas, many of which have not been thought through and refined. Time flies, video games have changed, gamers have changed. Meanwhile, Bethesda stays true to its conservative concept of game development and dusty mechanics, which is disappointing for such an anticipated title. But all of that is only a part of the story, because - nevertheless - Starfield has great moments.

Id Software proved that you can use a classic road to get to present time, without destroying the charm of the original. Doom remains an old-school, dynamic shooter devoid of lengthy cut-scenes and convoluted plot. It's a hell of a ride, just like twenty years ago.

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.

Although the gameplay was based mostly on the concepts of the first installment, there was also plenty of room for successful experiments. Thanks to this, Frostpunk 2 gained its own identity and became something more than just a bigger and more complex Frostpunk 1. Although you may not see it at first glance, these are two vastly different games that I will be returning to regularly.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun manages to resurrect a genre without a good representative for almost a decade. Minor shortcomings of this title can't lessen the satisfaction of every successful mission or a smart move around enemies.

Pro Evolution Soccer is one step closer to perfection. Gameplay in PES 2017 is fantastic and engaging, but many of the elements not directly related to kicking the ball need more attention, especially licenses and interface. Fortunately, Konami is on the right path.

Nioh 3 is not without its clear flaws, which makes it hard to justify a solid nine out of ten. In terms of gameplay, however, it’s a highly polished experience and one that’s immensely engaging for fans of hardcore challenges. It’s been a long time since a video game kept me up so many nights.

Yakuza 0 is a specific game that demands turning a blind eye on some elements, like mediocre graphics, technical shortcomings, long cutscenes and slow story. If we can accept these issues, Yakuza offers a rich world and hours upon hours of gameplay. Seems like the best moment to check out this Japanese fenomen.

Excellent choice for people new to the series, but also a treat for Halo fans who can add this great edition to their collections.

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.
