    Despite expectations, Avowed is not able to compete with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Baldur's Gate 3. It is a very average work in terms of the quality of execution.

    Biped is a short and simple game with interesting mechanics based on stick manipulation. It is great to play with children and will allow you to have fun for a few bright hours, which is not bad, given the democratic price tag.

    Pikmin 1+2 is a great opportunity to delve into the franchise' origins, especially if you have already played Pikmin 3 or Pikmin 4, also available on Switch. GameCube classics are still fun, but this re-releases are just basic HD ports.

    Deck of Ashes: Complete Edition offers beautiful art design and some fascinating card battles with bosses. Animations during combat are pretty simple, and world exploration is a bit monotonous.

    Atomfall turned out to be a conservative attempt by Rebellion to release an unusual game for the studio. The result was very interesting, although the game is not without a number of serious drawbacks.

    Atomic Heart: Enchantment Under the Sea It doesn't want to reinvent the bike or try to emulate Bioshock even more. Instead, Mundfish pushes its own line, offering exactly what the main game is loved for.

    Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a great robot editor that allows all mech enthusiasts to create the fighting machine of their dreams, but a very down-to-earth game with short linear missions, boring environments and weak standard enemies.

    Miasma Chronicles is a step up from the poor Corruption 2029. The game can offer you an interesting setting and characters with some cool tactical systems, but at the same time there is straight up broken gameplay elements and lots of bugs, at least on the console versions.

    Millennia is a budget 4X-strategy, the creators of which tried to improve the work of competitors. The result was not ideal, but the game still has that "addictive trait" that makes you want to keep experimenting.

    Ever Forward is a very beautiful and captivating game with a warm and touching story about the relationship between mother and daughter. Sadly, it's too short, and not without problems.

    Still Wakes the Deep seems dragged out and occasionally devoid of meaning, but it's still very much science fiction, clearly inspired by John Carpenter's classic films.

    Wasteland 3 is in no way a bad or a mediocre game. You can clearly see the passion that went into it's development. You will spend hours upon hours with dozens of well thought out non-linear quests, while interacting with easy to use and well made role-playing systems, all of which gives you true old-school gaming experience. But at the same time Wasteland 3 just can't offer anything we haven't seen before, and myriad of countless technical hiccups is definitely not something we expected to see.

    Soulstice is a small, but fun and engaging project with some minor but noticeable shortcomings in later stages.

    Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition includes all the previously available DLC content, so in essence it's the most complete and full version of the original game, and as that - it's the most obvious choice to pick up for a first run or a spontaneous replay.

    Styx: Blades of Greed is yet another budget title from the French developers at Cyanide Studio. Their games traditionally suffer from rough gameplay polish, a bunch of bugs, awkward animations, and odd design choices — yet they still carry a certain charm and that so‑called "soul".

    Earth Defense Force 6 is a big and loud culmination of everything that the series had to offer up until now. If the game feels a bit pricey, then just wait for the sale. And if you have an itch to kill some bugs right about now, then just buy one of the previous games, they are pretty good as well.

    You just have to make peace with some of the game's quirks. And beyond that, Star Wars Outlaws is a good enough game in an established setting that will probably hold your attention up until the end credits.

    Amnesia: The Bunker is a step down from Amnesia: Rebirth. New release from Frictional Games is visually boring, lacks atmosphere and can get on your nerves with constantly teleporting stalker enemy.

    Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is remastered version of a cult classic that brings you everything you would expect, including some old and questionable design choices like the save system and slow doors opening animation. But at the same time Mask of the Lunar Eclipse can feel like a true gift for every hardcore horror fan out there.

    Chronos: Before the Ashes is a pretty good adventure title, that comes with a rather simple combat system, some cool locations, and an intriguing plot, which focuses on mystery and puzzle solving. Some of the levels may feel repetitive, but if you want to take a break from big budget games and spend some quite and comfy times with something of a smaller scale on the holiday season, then Chronos is a pretty good choice for that.

    Blue Reflection: Second Light is a pretty comfy game about friendship, that tells its story through the lens of well written female characters. You can also count on a fun battle system with many different tactics and party members.

    The Occultist is a rich adventure with a mystical story that has its own unique identity.

    Unfortunately, the game is quite toothless in terms of difficulty, with a slow pace of narration and sometimes monotonous gameplay. But at the same time, it has a charmingly fun atmosphere. This is a naive but creative tale, where you are the main creator of mini-stories.

    The Artful Escape is a wonderful four-hour musical performance with some epic guitar solos and an incredible visuals.

    It is worth to give Iron Harvest a chance, at the very least for a great story campaign, unconventional setting and a childlike wonder of seeing mecha-teapots fight themselves to the death.

    FIFA 21 marks another update to the formula without major innovations. But it's still a fun game.

    A classic standalone add-on with some new features. The developers did not call it a sequel, but they tried to expand on the unique idea of the original.

    The lack of autosave feature, primitive bosses and orthodox platforming feels like a something from the past. But at the same time, there's nothing wrong with the idea of bringing back old, but visually updated classic. Hardcore fans definitely can appreciate a game like this.

    Deep atmosphere, rare setting and cool puzzles are tied up with lackluster music, boring monster encounters, and a plot, that's a little way too obscure. There is a lot to like about DARQ, but be ready for many shortcomings.
