    Inmost is a very sad and psychologically moving story about loss, personal experiences and pain, which gives players a hope for purification and redemption, showing a bright and love-filled ending. And hope is what we miss so much in a life filled with stress and nervous tension, especially this year.

    Tell Me Why is more of a PR product that suffers from typical problems of Dontnod Entertainment' games, where's the key story bits is exaggerated and backed up by nothing interesting, while the game tries to resonate with players by cheap controversy. The first episode is powerful, but then game descends into a pit of monotony and despondency. And this is sad.

    Double Kick Heroes is a very bright and unusual project with well-developed characters, strong plot and excellent soundtrack, which suffers from minor flaws and sometimes from very high difficulty.

    Circus Electrique is an unusual piece that is aimed at short play-sessions. The setting is unique, but the overall game balance can feel a bit uneven.

    Project CARS 3 leaves mixed impressions. It can please fans with a nice process of driving, but it's difficult to recommend it to beginners because of the monotonicity factor in the career mode. Slightly Mad Studios still have a lot of work ahead to solve technical flaws and provide further support to the game, if they still want to win new players' attention.

    If you have been looking for a game in the style of Celeste for a long time, then you've finally found it, only in a slightly deformed and crumpled form.

    Mario Golf: Super Rush is not some life-changing experience, but just like Mario Kart or Mario Party you can expect a fun party game for the whole family.

    Paradise Killer is a very intriguing detective story with an interesting and deep world and well-developed characters, which suffers from a number of shortcomings.

    Mortal Shell is another Dark Souls clone with nice graphics, interesting ideas and good combat mechanics. On the other hand, there's a problems with hitboxes, enemies are too slow, and it lacks epic bosses and spectacular battles. However, among other Dark Souls clones this game looks really unusual and worthy.

    The Last Faith is full of rough edges. But Kumi Souls managed to create a very exciting game that motivates you to explore every corner of this mysterious world.

    A Total War Saga: Troy is not a bad game, but some of the developers' decisions were quite controversial. However, it will always find its loyal fans thanks to unique setting. And it's possible that later it will be expanded and upgraded.

    Ad Infinitum can easily give you a sense of discomfort and suspense, even if you're far removed from the genre as a whole.

    Namco Museum Archives - Volume 2 offers the opportunity to dive into the immortal classics with friends and maybe even find something new for yourself.

    Transient is quite a pretty game that manages to mix and match cyberpunk vibes from Observer with some quirky Lovecraftian stuff. But the lack of a coherent storyline, interesting puzzles, and a better motivation for main protagonist to dive deep into past events is sadly hard to ignore. Plus all those references to some old retro classics seems rather out of place here.

    Rainbow Six Extraction can offer you a solid gameplay foundation, and many hours of fun tactical action. But beware that you won't get this experience solo - you'll need a group of friends. Another matter is the question of Extraction continued support, because the starting pack of 12 maps can get old really fast.

    The name "Museum archives” perfectly embodies the essence of the Namco Museum Archives - Volume 1 collection. Not all games have retained their fascination, but this is a great way to look at the game history through the early works of Namco.

    Goodbye Volcano High is a cute looking game about modern western teenagers with some fun characters and memorable indie music.

    Star Wars Episode I: Racer is still a very exciting game, but the remaster is quite lazy. If you are ready to put up with the outdated visuals, then the race can give you a few hours of fun. Especially if you like Star Wars.

    AI LIMIT is an unusual mashup of familiar solutions that is unlikely to be a big hit, but well worth a look.

    When you don't have any other games left to play you can play Cloudpunk. With great style, the developers were not able to tell an interesting story. On the other hand, we have a great option for those who want to play something against the background of show or podcast. Which is basically not bad.

    The Dark Pictures: Little Hope is something akin to a good rollercoaster ride you can spend an evening or a two with. Sadly, there is not a lot of replayability, due to only one ending, albeit a quite unexpected one.

    Song of Horror - Episode 5: The Horror and the Song is a good ending to the story, which as a whole game looks great. But I expected something more from this episode than all the same annoying mechanics with QTE in the closet, same monsters and traps, and an ending in the style of horror movies from the '90s. However, against the background of other indie developments in this genre, the creation from Protocol Games looks like a small masterpiece.

    Age of Wonders 4 is a safe sequel that aims to offer as much new content as possible, while at the same time expands the replayability and role-playing potential.

    The Blind Prophet is a very stylish and dark game with a overextended story and controversial decisions, which you will definitely like if you love dark fantasy and classic adventure genre.

    It's hard to actually review Bright Memory, as it's not a game you can easily recommend, even for its relatively small price. But what we can definitely rate is a passion the developer has put into this project, while trying to give a new life to a slowly withering genre. We can only wish luck to the FYQD studio with their next game, which we will judge accordingly.

    Sniper Elite 5 is yet another conveyor belt product. The whole concept of a sniper sandbox-game still very fun, but after how great the fourth game was, this one feels like a step back.

    It feels like Star Renegades just can't decide what it wants to be. If the game was more like a traditional turn-based JRPG, it would be fine, but as of now way too many gameplay mechanics feels out of place. Roguelike elements are here too, some of them are pretty questionable, but can still win you over. But despite all of that, Star Renegades is a game with a great visual style and an engaging combat system, which is more than enough to hold your attetion, at least for a couple of runs.

    Lost in Darklight is a chinese FMV adventure with an interesting story and charismatic characters. Sadly, english adaptation is not good enough - some parts just left untranslated.

    Appeal Studios is far from having everything worked out perfectly. However, Outcast - A New Beginning turned out to be quite an original game, which is able to captivate with its old-fashioned story about a hitman who explores a beautiful mysterious world, albeit made in Ubisoft style.
