    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
    This is a game we can confidently recommend to all RPG fans — and without a doubt, it's one of the strongest contenders for Game of the Year. But beyond that, it's important to recognize the significance of this project and what its success means for the modern gaming industry as a whole. This is the kind of healthy, grounded approach to game development that we desperately need right now. It’s not just about mechanics or genre — it’s about the philosophy behind the work: a small team of former big-studio developers delivering a high-quality modern title with beautiful visuals, thoughtful direction, and, just as importantly, a reasonable budget. Guillaume Broche and his team are not the first to take this path, but we need more projects like this — and if that happens, it’s a win for everyone.

    Commandos: Origins
    For reasons unknown to us, Commandos: Origins turned out to be a very archaic game that feels drawn out, terribly linear and incredibly tedious. Don't forget about a bunch of bugs.

    Chains of Freedom
    The sins of Chains of Freedom are on a completely different plane: its ending is not a reward, but a long-awaited release from the monotony of life. And the further you progress, the more tedious and lengthy the endless battles become.

    Captain Blood
    Captain Blood is obsolete in every way and now looks like an HD remaster.

    Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree
    Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree turned out to be an ambitious attempt to create a grandiose game. But everything is spoiled by repetitive bosses and dull gameplay.

    Venus Vacation PRISM - DEAD OR ALIVE Xtreme -
    Venus Vacation PRISM - DEAD OR ALIVE Xtreme turned out to be an advanced dating simulator with cute girls. It will appeal to all lovers of slow games and lovers of sexy photos.

    The First Berserker: Khazan
    The First Berserker: Khazan is an interesting representative of the Soulslike genre, offering its own original ideas and a very strong plot. The game is able to break a person even on an easy difficulty level.

    Steel Seed
    Despite Steel Seed being steeped in familiar tropes and clichés, the developers paid close attention to the visuals and crafted gameplay that strikes a solid balance between stealth action and hack-and-slash mechanics.
    • 79 Metascore

    Assassin's Creed Shadows
    Assassin's Creed: Shadows is another experiment by Ubisoft Quebec. In some aspects, it was a success, but sometimes strange decisions by the developers spoil the experience, and the plot ends right at the most exciting moment.

    Blue Prince
    Blue Prince is quite an interesting game that brings innovations to a stagnant genre, but at the same time suffers from a whole set of shortcomings.

    South of Midnight
    South of Midnight is ready to offer atmospheric and dark fairy tales of the South, enhancing the effect due to excellent visuals and excellent musical accompaniment. However, Compulsion Games once again failed to support their ideas with interesting gameplay.

    Atomfall
    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.

    Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land
    Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is a soft reboot of the popular series with a focus on exploration and puzzles in a much darker world.

    I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
    The main advantage of the console version of I have no mouth, and I must scream is the ability to pass the classic game on the gamepad quite comfortably.

    KARMA: The Dark World
    Karma: The Dark World is a compilation of popular movies and games, which in its desire to copy got too carried away, losing its own identity.

    Monster Hunter Wilds
    It feels way too premature to even try to assess Monster Hunter: Wilds as a full package. The game will evolve, the game will be much bigger, and probably much better than it is right now. But even as it stands, Wilds is a delightfully fun. There's nothing better than the feeling of a successful hunt with your palico companion, and Wilds can give you plenty of that.

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

    Split Fiction
    Although Split Fiction works on the It Takes Two formula, it makes up for it with an absolutely insane pace of on-screen madness.

    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
    An addendum to Infinite Wealth, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii feels like a vacation after a vacation, a small and silly adventure, a fun time with your crazy friends and not a care in the world. But only up until the ending, where Like a Dragon makes a sharp turn, and remind you of how much of a heart this franchise really has.

    Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered
    To sum up, it's worth noting that out of the entire collection, only Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation can truly be considered a great game. It's worth playing not only for nostalgic fans of the series, but also for genre enthusiasts who might have missed it for some reason. The other two games are more of a historical curiosity and will mostly appeal to those who have fond memories of them from their childhood or adolescence.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
    Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is the perfect case of when any high score doesn't really clear the picture. Is a 9 simply too high of a praise? One may say so. While another would say that even a 10 just don't do this game enough justice.

    Sid Meier's Civilization VII
    The release of Sid Meier's Civilization VII in its raw state has further tarnished Firaxis' reputation. And we recommend players to pick up the full edition of Civilization VI, which will give hundreds of hours of fun right now.

    PROJECT TACHYON
    PROJECT TACHYON is an example of a colorful blend of several genres, and the roguelike elements make the gameplay a little more interesting than a linear game.

    Avowed
    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.

    Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1
    With Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, struggling studio Don't Nod returns to its roots, offering loyal audiences everything they loved about Life is Strange. The slow-paced story may put off some action fans, but it builds to a powerful and shocking conclusion.

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins looks like a good work on mistakes after the failed ninth installment.
