    Despite its ambitions, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn turned out to be an unnecessary and thoroughly secondary game. All interesting ideas were not properly realized, while the ending of the story is disappointing.

    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.

    Atlas Fallen is a great example of a game with an interesting premise and a weak execution. Fun sand-sliding and some plot points are probably the only things that would hold your attention up until the end credits.

    In Sound Mind is an atmospheric adventure with a decent plot and cool puzzles, that suffers from low budget and some minuscule gameplay issues.

    Ion Fury for Xbox One X is an example of worthy endeavors implemented through the bottom. The modern player is likely to be repelled by its specific appearance and problems with variety, and its current technical condition with impassable bugs and performance issues makes it possible to recommend only the PC version to old-school connoisseurs and fans of pixel experiences.

    Harold Halibut could steal our hearts, but instead she shamelessly steals precious free time.

    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.

    It's quite hard to recommend Decarnation, because the game itself is rather bleak, depressing and melancholy-inducing. But then again - that's the whole point.

    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".

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning retains all the major flaws of an original game, but if you want to dive into the interesting world of Amalur, buy this remaster.

    On the one hand Watch Dogs: Legion is a revolutionary game with ambitious open world and thousands upon thousands of characters, probably created by some kind of neural network. The gameplay is fine, and if you love original Watch Dogs, you will feel right at home with this new title. But on the other hand Legion clearly lacks a strong narrative lead.

    If only the developers took more time to tune in balance and camera, and made characters more distinguishable, than we could have a true indie gem. But even now the game is quite good.

    Atomic Hearts is an interesting case of ambitious scientific experiment. Even if not everything went smoothly, the results are still fun, exciting, and a bit uneven. What matters here — is a brave attempt at something rather bold. And who knows what tomorrow will bring, as practice makes perfect.

    Raji: An Ancient Epic can offer you some scenic locations, plenty of platforming, and a rather boring combat system. The main selling point here is not Raji herself, but the godlike beings, telling the tales of the Indian mythology, heavily intertwined with with the game's overall storyline.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake could offer you a couple of fun evenings, but don't expect something extraordinary. There is almost no incentive to replay levels other than unlocking new costumes and you can get more than enough of those during your regular playthrough.

    We got an adventure with some interesting episodes, bad combat mechanics and annoying monsters that are superfluous for immersion in the narrative. Puzzles and atmosphere can grab your attention, but for this you have to be a big fan of the mystical things.

    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.

    Eternal Strands is a pretty and yet a very shallow game, that is better be left ignored, unless you absolutely don't have anything else to play.

    If you really want to try out Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles, just wait for the next sale. At this state the feels more like a prototype. CyberConnect2 can certainly do better.

    Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One is a big story-driven game with familiar characters, captivating cases to solve, and a big open island to explore. All the fantastical stuff aside, the team at Frogwares treats Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work with utmost respect, and for that we are grateful.

    The overall design choices and visual presentation of Cris Tales are one of its stronest suits. The game looks like an animated film, and paired with lots of calm and relaxing tunes, you get a very cozy atmosphere that feels nice to get back to every single time.

    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.

    A tiny boring plot, four new monsters for the series, and optimization of some game mechanics are clearly not enough for fans of the franchise, nor for ordinary players. The overall impression of the Expansion Pass, of course, can be formed only after the release of the final part - The Crown of Tundra. Now we can only say with complete confidence that The Isle of Armor is not worth the money.

    Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! is best suited for younger players and casual audience. Everyone else will probably find the game extremely boring.

    Sonic Frontiers can't offer any outstanding visuals, but some of the levels give a strong nostalgic vibes, while open world segments are filled with some great boss fights and nice puzzles. Frontiers is definitely better than anything Sonic Team has done in the past 10 years time, so it is a step in the right direction at the very least.
