    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
    Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is a good example of the gap between ambition and execution. Despite an intriguing premise and well-developed main characters, the game ultimately feels too linear and repetitive, with limited player choice and shallow world interaction. Many of the lengthy dialogues have little to no impact on the story, side quests are dull and formulaic, and the world itself feels empty and lifeless. In the end, Bloodlines 2 comes across more as a walking simulator with light RPG elements than a worthy successor to the cult classic.

    Little Nightmares III
    Despite Supermassive Games’ efforts, Little Nightmares III turned out to be a corporate business product, devoid of the very features that made the series beloved by millions of players around the world.

    Silent Hill f
    As a purely interactive experience, Silent Hill f is as uneven as it gets, honestly. But more than that - it's still a very interesting piece of art. Strange, multi-layered and mostly unique - in all the places that matter.

    Hell is Us
    Despite the limited bestiary, difficulties in exploring the world, and not the most engaging plot, Hell is Us is impossible to put down.

    Metal Eden
    Metal Eden presents itself as a visually striking yet brief action experience, boasting innovative gameplay mechanics. However, the game falls short in terms of boss encounters and narrative.

    Cronos: The New Dawn
    Just like its main protagonist, Cronos: The New Dawn is so obsessed with capturing and replicating the past, that it's kinda forgets to do something more important - to have a soul of its own.

    Destiny: Rising
    Destiny: Rising has become one of the biggest unexpected surprises of 2025. NetEase has unexpectedly offered a highly competitive alternative to frustrated Destiny 2 fans, albeit presented with a touch of gacha elements. This should be a wake-up call for Sony and Bungie.

    Lost Soul Aside
    Lost Soul Aside leaves a mixed impression. The game offers truly spectacular battles with unique bosses that provide fresh experiences, and the environment is designed in a memorable art style with high-level detail. However, players must endure lengthy levels, a mediocre plot, and subpar voice acting.

    Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
    This new version of the game will definitely be someone's first foray into the entire Metal Gear Solid franchise, which is honestly the biggest and most important thing about the whole Delta release. And chances are that by the end of the credits this person will convert into a new fan that will carry the series legacy into the future. This is good, isn't it?

    Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
    Beneath its rough exterior lies a captivating project, kept alive by its vibrant open world, non-linear progression, and handcrafted gameplay. It’s simply fun to play — unlike the heavily outdated Oblivion, which, aside from visuals, has little left to offer.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia
    The Rogue Prince of Persia turned out to be a rather mediocre roguelike game, which falls short of both Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Dead Cells.

    Donkey Kong Bananza
    Despite the aforementioned shortcomings, Donkey Kong Country: Banana Kingdom literally draws the player in and doesn’t let go for a single second. This is a unique platformer with incredibly addictive gameplay, stunningly diverse levels, and magnificent music.

    Gears of War: Reloaded
    Despite a number of flaws, Gears of War remains an excellent game with polished gameplay. The same can be said about the Ultimate Edition. As for Gears of War: Reloaded, this re-release is worth recommending to new players on PlayStation 5.

    Dead Take
    Yes, Death Take has an interesting plot and an excellent cast. However, as a game, it is absolutely mediocre, and what’s more, it can be completed in just two hours.

    Sword of the Sea
    Sword of the Sea offers a meditative adventure with excellent sword-jumping mechanics. However, due to its short duration, the game may become tiresome because of its repetitiveness.

    Mafia: The Old Country
    Mafia: The Old Country isn’t just another game about the mafia—it’s a full-fledged journey into a cultural layer of history and cinema, filled with references to The Godfather and similar classics that seamlessly blend into the story and atmosphere. The game isn’t perfect, but it’s stylish, focused, and cinematic. If you’ve been missing that very kind of 12–14 hour “film-like” experience, enjoy such narratives, and don’t mind a few technical rough edges, this one is worth picking up—titles like this are a rarity nowadays.

    Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
    NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound offers a compact campaign, where visual diversity and intense dynamics are hidden behind apparent simplicity. The game itself is perceived as an almost flawless prologue to NINJA GAIDEN 4.

    Wheel World
    I was expecting Wheel World to be a relaxing adventure lasting about five hours. However, in reality, it turned into a frustrating 10-hour race with awkward controls, monotonous progression, and a broken ending.

    WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers
    WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers falls short of being a groundbreaking game, yet it exudes a unique and compelling charisma.

    Killing Floor 3
    In an era dominated by generic online shooters, you start craving something fresh and original — like Killing Floor 2 was back in the day. Where’s the joy and fun of mowing down hordes? Where are the endless healing syringes and ammo boxes that helped you survive? They're gone in the third game — now you're on your own, forced to grit your teeth and make do.

    Monument Valley 3
    Monument Valley 3 continues to deliver the classic zen-like gameplay experience characterized by its striking visuals and captivating puzzles, albeit hampered by a limited amount of content and less-than-intuitive control mechanics.

    Luto
    In every other respect, Luto appears and feels like just another game among the multitude of indie horror titles, albeit with aspirations of aesthetic depth.

    One-Eyed Likho
    It is unlikely that One-Eyed Likho will come as a revelation to anyone. Nevertheless, this is an extremely enjoyable and visually unique adventure with an atmosphere of a nightmarish fairy tale.

    Shadow Labyrinth
    Shadow Labyrinth is a mid-tier metroidvania featuring a few interesting concepts, but it quickly fades from memory after completion.

    The Alters
    I have had a difficult relationship with 11 Bit Studios since one of last year’s reviews, during which the developers accused me of political bias. Despite this, The Alters can be considered one of the best games of 2025, offering a unique and memorable gaming experience.

    Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream
    Eriksholm - The Stolen Dream was a bright debut by the new studio. It offered an interesting world with intense gameplay and a captivating plot.

    Elden Ring Nightreign
    Provided you have a couple of friends to play with, Nightreign can easily become the perfect trap — a fun gauntlet of trials where you endlessly chase that ideal winning run right before going to bed. And then you do it again. And again. And again. But if you lack the necessary company, perhaps there are better ways to spend your time — maybe even with the original Elden Ring. After all, that game had plenty of great boss battles too.

    Everdeep Aurora
    Everdeep Aurora is a very lamp–like story in a trendy retro style about friendship, adventure and mutual assistance, completely devoid of violence or adult content.

    Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
    Level-5 has definitely delivered a worthy sequel that surpasses its predecessor in every way. FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time will effortlessly steal your time—and you’ll be happy to let it. Its soothing, time-hopping adventures are the perfect escape, whether you’re winding down after a long day or getting lost in them over the weekend.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
    You can talk about numerous problems and mistakes in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Although the original game has passed the test of time, its re-release epitomizes everything I hate about modern games from Bethesda Game Studios.
