Most interesting addition to The Sims 4 so far, introducing a lot of fresh concepts to the established formula.

Hard West surprises with creative gameplay systems, neatly written group of characters and interesting, well-realized ideas - but not without some strange choices.

MuHa Games' debut game turns out to be a little too ambitious. Thea: The Awakening is certainly an original and robust proposition, but without enough polish. First few hours are very engaging, but exploration quickly runs out of surprises, quests become repetitive, and the cards - simply tiresome.

The Flame in the Flood offers a lot of interesting ideas, but not all of them are properly developed - it seems as if the game was released too early. With more items, enemies and locations, it could compete with Don't Starve, but all we get is few hours of beautiful and interesting gameplay that ultimately leaves you wanting more.

Evil West combines brilliantly designed, satisfying combat inspired by mechanics from the new God of War games with deep and engaging - but also humorous - story about America.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon makes a pretty rough first impression. It feels low-budget, is undeniably janky, and frankly not very pleasant to look at. The choppy framerate alone might turn off a lot of players within the first few minutes. But if you're a fan of The Elder Scrolls or Souls-like games, and you've been craving a deep, immersive RPG that blends the best elements of both, you'd be making a mistake to ignore this one.

The new expansion proves to be better than The Dark Below, but still it seems that it could've been even better.

Boredom, simplicity and lack of challenges in later stages of campaign force us to run around without much purpose, consider the meaning of life, analyze yesterday's events or just plan tomorrow's dinner. That's how you know it's time to turn off Dead Rising 4.

Layers of Fear is a great horror. Could've been even better, but it's still a fresh genre for Bloober Team, making it easy to forgive some controversial solutions that don't affect the gameplay in a hugely negative way. Fans of terror should and suspense should not miss this dark adventure.

Successful remake: another entry in popular jRPG series, full of innovative ideas, fresh concepts, with extensive story and only a few drawbacks.

The good news is that the developers of Sniper Elite have finally tried something new - Atomfall is intriguing with its setting and its form of narrative direction. The bad news is that in many other aspects the game is average at best. Perhaps the full potential of these ideas will be realized in a possible sequel.

Temple of Osiris is in fact a replica of a previous gameplay model. The lack of any unique features provides fun for one, easily forgettable evening.

Don't let the graphics and cheerful mood fool you - Renowned Explorers is an unforgiving and demanding strategy game, with deep systems and combat. It's not necessarily a bad approach, but it seems that it needed a bit more work - particularly regarding the lack of tutorials and uneven difficulty level.

The Invincible passes the basic test - it's a worthy adaptation of Lem's novel it's based upon. At the same time, however, it's nothing more than that. Add to this the fact that there's not much to do here and you simply get an interactive experience set on a pretty planet. An experience that neither surprises nor comments on Lem's ideas in its own way.

It's fun to visit the mountains in Steep from time to time and enjoy a pleasant ride down the slope or one of the more exciting challenges. It's important not to Overstay the game's welcome, since Steep can quickly become rather boring and monotonous.

Adventures of Cormack and the different point of view of an old conflict are the only positives of Assassin's Creed Rogue. Everything else is already well-known.

Robust and addictive strategy game, connecting Mad Max universe with FTL: Faster Than Light mechanics. Hours can pass by without you realising.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a solid open-world action game that may appeal to more than just fans of James Cameron's movies. While many elements are similar to the Far Cry series, Ubisoft's title has enough of its own personality to call it more than just a spin-off of the well-known shooter series.

State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition is still an interesting title. It's a shame that the new edition didn't eliminate some cumbersome issues.

Guild of Dungeoneering is light and simple, which is the greatest advantage and disadvantage at the same time. Approachable gameplay allows us to jump into underworld right from the start, without fear of making a mistake. With time, however, the game becomes rather monotonous.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is not as surprising the second time around, and sometimes disappoints - when counting the elements imported straight from the first game. Cooperation with friends could be fun, but single-player soon wanes. A sequel should offer more.

Regicide is more interesting than good. The second game mode is a nice idea for people not really interested in chess, but various shortcomings in AI and graphics make it hard to really appreciate the game.

Tormentum: Dark Sorrow is not very challenging, but it has undeniable artistic flair, an intriguing story and subtle charm.

There's few bigger additions in Rise of Iron and the latest expansion certainly won't make you feel like you're playing a brand new game, but gathering fresh loot and discovering secrets can still be engaging.

While visually Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened has moved closer to current standards, in terms of gameplay it still offers less than any other installment of the series.

Unfortunately, F1 24 feels more like an update - and not a very big one at that. As was with the 2022 release, we are dealing with a ‘transitional’ instalment: more of a testing ground for new ideas and mechanics, while the developers focus more on the next year's bigger game.

New Layers of Fear tries to fix the shortcomings of previous two games, but at the core it's still the same game, suffering from similar problems. Polish horror has its appeal, but it's a must-have only for the most ardent fans and those impatiently waiting for the remake of Silent Hill 2 from Bloober Team.

The continuous development of Cities: Skylines is very promising, confirmed now not only by mods made by the players, but also thanks to another official expansion. Snowfall turns out to be much better than After Dark and offers a wide range of new capabilities, all well-thought-out and satisfying.
