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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
