Though Stellar Blade draws some ideas from FromSoftware's games, it's immediately clear that Shift Up is following its own path. It's action-packed science-fiction served with a philosophical and... sexy sauce. A sauce that makes it taste like a dish you've never eaten before.

Hogwarts Legacy is a very good game with a few weaker features that do not match the rest. However, the game is made with great care and, as a result, guarantees a fantastic adventure in the well-known world of magic. I would even let someone cast Obliviate on me, just to forget this game and be able to experience it again.

Toxikk is a great arena shooter, but lacking one element that would make it unique - especially in terms of available weapons. Enthusiasts of classic shooters, especially Unreal Tournament, should check it out nevertheless - there's even a very handy free version.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a huge game, providing hours of addictive and diverse fun. The mix of Japanese absurdity and crime soap opera works well, while the phenomenal combat system will just make you not want to stop playing, despite a certain amount of grind and repetitiveness.

Minor technical problems and a slow start to a story do not change the fact that The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is worth recommending - a solid and beautiful adventure game.

Despite the rather limited content at launch, it's been a long time since I had as much fun in co-op as I did in Helldivers 2. The transition from a top-down perspective to a classic TPP couldn't have gone better. That's how you do bold action game sequels.

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!

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.

Despite the technical shortcomings, Crate Entertainment managed to develop a worthy spiritual successor for the Titan Quest series. Grim Dawn is extremely rich in content, providing hundreds of hours of hack'n'slash fun.

Star Wars Battlefront is a spectacular multiplayer shooter and a dream come true for many movie fans. The modest amount of content is the game's biggest flaw: maps are beautiful, but two hours is enough to visit them all and the situation is identical with any other aspect of the game.

Terrifying night in the snowy mountains is a surprisingly exciting adventure. The interactive video structure works great, grabs your attention and keeps your eyes peeled to the screen, even if horror is not your favourite genre.

Klei Entertainment once again delivers an interesting, original game. Invisible, Inc. is a challenging and engaging strategy in cyberpunk world full of spies and big corporations.

Company of Heroes 3 is in many ways an exemplary sequel. Relic Entertainment improved many aspects of the series, most notably in the tactical pause mechanic, but there's also an excellent and innovative Italian campaign.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a game that was developed in just six months, but it absolutely does not feel like it. The title, which was intended to make players' wait for the release of the next full instalment in the series more pleasant, is a surprisingly sizable product, although definitely aimed at fans who are familiar with the previous instalments.

Halo 5 lacks something fresh and surprising, a breath of new life. The campaign is interrupted in the wrong moment and the lack of split-screen is disappointing, but these cons are balanced out by addictive and satisfying multiplayer. The game is not without certain defects, but it's still worth recommending.

Rainbow Siege Six fluctuates a bit more towards action and spectacular battles, but without completely abandoning the need for a strategic approach. It surely won't disappoint the fans of tactical shooters.

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.

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.

Despite the lackluster ending, Firewatch is certainly a worthwhile production. Well-thought-out and executed graphical style, amazing vistas and fascinating dialogues are definitely something to see and experience for yourself.

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.

Addictive, spectacular and enjoyable shooter with a decent dose of humor.

Civilization 7 is trying to reinvent the wheel, and it's not quite succeeding in doing so. The gameplay has been greatly simplified, and while some of these changes add momentum to the game, others strip it of the depth to which fans of the series - or strategy genre in general - have become accustomed. I had plenty of fun, but I expected something more from the new Civilization. Something that would draw me in not for a few dozen, but a few hundred hours. And that something was missing.

There's an interesting atmosphere of anxiety in Kholat, effectively keeping us in front of the screens - that's biggest advantage of the game. On the other hand, developers quickly ran out of ideas that would make the exploration easier and more interesting. Still, Imgn.pro's debut is largely successful.

Metal Gear Solid is back after more than eight years. Konami decided to start safely and prepared a collection of older but iconic installments. The Master Collection package is loaded with additional content and is certainly a treat for Kojima fanatics, but at the same time it's hard to shake the feeling it's all a bit of an afterthought.

Biggest selling points of Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo? A lot of interesting cars and good tracks. While the game gameplay leaves something to be desired, it's still a solid alternative to other games in recently revived rally genre.

Tengami is a visually beautiful, intimate story based on Japanese culture, distinguished by original gameplay.

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

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