Quotation forthcoming.

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.

MultiVersus is a decent game that can certainly appeal to some. At the same time, it doesn't offer enough to hold the average gamer's attention for more than a few evenings. It's a game for “big” consoles and PCs, but it uses mechanisms associated with mobile games and requires a lot of grind - or real money.

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.

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.

I wish Hellblade 2 was entirely as bold as the second half of the game, but even in the beginning of Senua's new quest you can't deny the beauty hidden in darkness and misery. In many ways it is an impressive game, but it lacked some emotion and fresh gameplay ideas.

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.

Not a pretty game, but with very good gameplay - that's TopSpin 2K25 in a nutshell. The king of tennis is back, but not much changed - considering the huge break the series has served us (pun intended). But maybe that's exactly what the fans needed.

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.

Looking at the Slow Bros.' game, it's hard not to associate it with The Neverhood, but these are just appearances. A bland protagonist, almost complete lack of gameplay, and - on top of that - a huge amount of bugs make Harold Halibut a fish that's very hard to digest.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is an ideal offering for those looking for a pleasant and accessible introduction to video games. There are no great challenges, no intriguing story or complicated mechanics, but several hours of simple fun in a charming setting. This might not be enough for experienced players, however.

In recent years Team Ninja focused on soulslikes, a somewhat niche genre among big-budget games. Rise of the Ronin builds on this previous output, but at the same time opens up to the mass consumer, thanks in part to its open-world structure and lower difficulty level. Although the developers didn't succeed in everything, this attempt can be counted as successful.

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.

What has been added or upgraded in the new Alone in the Dark is not only a match for the ideas from 1992, but actually something better, creating a deeper, richer and more interesting game. Some of the changes, however, are so far-reaching that it's not really a remake, but a completely new game.

Outcast is coming back after 25 years in quite a successful manner, although fans of the original could have hoped for more. Appeal Studios' new title is an enjoyable action-adventure game with an open world full of colors and clever weapon modification mechanics. However, it offers less in terms of visuals and density of side content.

WWE 2K24's developers have risen to the challenge and delivered a game that may not be reinventing the wheel, but is a polished evolution of last year's installment. It's pure fun, and pummeling opponents with chairs and locking them in coffins under the ring gave me so much joy I felt like a ten-year-old.

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.

What The Thaumaturge is, is as puzzling as its title. It's ostensibly an RPG, but with barebones RPG systems. It offers a large and rich world, but with nothing to do in it. It's supposed to last for twenty hours, but reveals all its cards after only two. Warsaw looks fantastic, with impressive atmosphere and detail - but it's the capital of boredom.

Inkulinati will be a very good choice for people looking for light and casual gameplay mixed with a little bit of thinking. It's an original, fun and approachable strategy game, with a fair amount of untapped potential that may yet be realised in the future. A must-play for fans of medieval art and butt jokes.

Skull and Bones was in development hell for many years, and unfortunately this effort was mostly in vain. Instead of - as Ubisoft calls it - a 'AAAA' game all we got is a simple MMO, created in a very archaic fashion.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong is an enjoyable remake of an acclaimed puzzle platformer hybrid from the Game Boy era. All features of the original are included, but the formula is mixed with some fresh elements and completely new levels. The addition of two gameplay modes was a good decision, as this makes the game suitable for gamers of all ages.

Tomb Raider Remastered trilogy works well as an interactive, renovated monument in a video game museum. It's a collection made for gaming veterans longing for those gone days when the sky was bluer and games were created out of pure passion rather than a desire for profit. Younger gamers uninterested in the history of the genre are unlikely to find anything for themselves here except a lesson in humility, through which they'll begin to appreciate the convenience of modern games.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden combines the best of old-school action RPGs with a touch of novelty. The game's strongest points are its brilliantly portrayed characters and moving stories, which reminded me of my best moments spent in The Witcher 3.

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.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is not the game Arkhamverse fans have been waiting for. Certainly not in its current, stripped-down form. It has all the typical problems of the live-service model: it's painfully simplistic, repetitive and lacking even one outstanding element that would attract players for a long time. Amid the tedious missions and loot dump, however, it's possible to find a few qualities that will make the time in front of the screen pass a little more pleasantly.

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.

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.

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.
