In the Souls-like genre, Lies of P definitely stands out. It skilfully captures the unique essence of the Dark Souls series and expands on it with features such as the weapon modification system. However, the level design and boss fights play it fairly simple, and the lies that should have been a core element don't shine as brightly as expected.

Immortals of Aveum has a unique magic-shooter gameplay, and many skills to go along with it that help the player fight a gorgeous and fluid battle. But other than that it's pretty mediocre in terms of both plot and level design.

Blasphemous 2 has an excellent world shaping, combat system and level design that come together to create this impressive and unique experience. It does take the lessons learnt from the previous game and delivers an excellent result.

Starfield is a masterpiece that unites the creativity and experience that Bethesda has built up over the years. Even after hundreds of hours of play, there is still fresh content waiting to be discovered. Just as TESV and Fallout 4 still have players making modules and discussing details, I believe that ten years from now, there will still be a large number of players who will be travelling in the universe created by Starfield.

The reboot of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a triumph. FromSoftware's vast experience shines through in the game, smoothly blending their past successes from Souls-like titles into Armored Core VI. It also stays true to the essence of mech games, maintaining the strong traditions of the series such as the highly customisable mech assembly. It retains the core fun that defines the franchise.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood offers the chance to explore mysticism, tarot reading and philosophical ideas, taking you on a seven to eight hour journey of self-reflection. However, if you are looking for a compelling plot, engaging characters and a relaxing experience, this may not be the best option. The game deals with heavy themes and the story lacks significant interest.

Playing Shadow Gambit feels like peeling an onion - as I progress from the outer layers to the core, taking down enemies in the city, and each achievement is small, often mixed with discomfort and bitterness.

It's difficult to imagine just how much effort and passion Larian Studios put into Baldur's Gate 3 to create such a groundbreaking masterpiece. As the first sequel in two decades, it successfully continues the legendary story of Baldur's Gate. With exceptional freedom and intricate combat mechanics, it opens up the possibility for more people to enjoy the unique appeal of DND. It overshadows all the games I've played this year and gives us a CRPG experience like no other.

Remnant 2 continues to explore the blend of Souls-like gameplay, shooting, and cooperative elements, and has achieved fairly good results. Each playthrough offers a fresh experience, thanks to well-designed maps that keep exploration engaging. The feeling of accomplishment when defeating bosses is a rewarding highlight.

The gameplay, story and design in Exoprimal will make you feel fresh and excited when you first play it. However, the existing gameplay makes it challenging for players to sustain that freshness for an extended period of time.

Dave the Diver is a game with a distinctive style that demonstrates the potential of the medium with its comprehensive and varied gameplay. While the late-game mechanics may feel repetitive in the full version, the enjoyable fishing experience for the first ten hours makes it worth the price of admission.

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code falls short and ends up being mediocre. This game neglects the elements that made Danganronpa successful, such as well-written characters, engaging storytelling, and unexpected plot twists.

Park Beyond is a disappointing amusement park simulation game. A large number of bugs and complicated controls ruin the gameplay experience.

In terms of creativity, story and integration of narrative and gameplay, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is truly unique. Even after more than a decade, there's still no game that can be considered a replacement.

Final Fantasy XVI creates an unforgettable experience and continues the legacy of Final Fantasy.

In Alien: Dark Descent, unfair mechanics, overly difficult challenges and numerous bugs have ruined what could have been a decent game.

Dordogne is a beautiful and artistic game that takes me on a journey through the picturesque countryside of France with its unique art style. However, it leaves me with some regrets due to its mishandling of storytelling.

As a loot-focused game as a service, Diablo IV currently delivers a satisfying level of quality, offering numerous hours of enjoyable character build. However, I have concerns regarding the game's long-term support and future updates.

Street Fighter 6 simplifies its gameplay systems without losing depth. It allows players to perform moves with just one button, providing a sense of freedom. It also features a replayable single-player mode that will attract casual gamers new to fighting games.

If Lord of the Rings: Gollum were a short story or a low-budget film, it might be worth a look for Lord of the Rings fans. As a game, however, with over a dozen hours of gameplay, it is obviously a physically painful torment.

Whether you're a seasoned gamer who enjoys fast-paced shooting games like Doom, or a newcomer drawn to the Warhammer 40K IP, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is sure to deliver an exhilarating shoot 'em up experience.

Lego 2K Racing is a family-friendly racing game that appeals to people of all ages. Whether you are new to Lego content or a fan of racing games, you can enjoy the thrill of exploration and racing in this game.

I wouldn't say The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the kingdom is a perfect game, but it's definitely a game that puts fun first from start to finish. It does have some imperfections, but they don't detract from its outstanding multi-dimensional gameplay and innovative design concepts that set the industry standard.

City of Beats cleverly combines elements of roguelike games, twin-stick shooting, and music gameplay. This is a great attempt to mix traditional gameplay elements to create a unique and enjoyable experience that reminds me of the recent game Hi-Fi Rush.

Redfall is a letdown. Arkane Studios' signature immersive simulation and level design are nowhere to be found in the game. Instead, their typical poor shooting experience, lack of polish, and rough performance issues are present in the game, which is a little too rebellious.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an enjoyable adventure game, but it has some flaws in the combat system. The gameplay and system design are based on mature industry standards, with platforming, exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving all present and tightly interconnected. However, the game's performance issues result in a significant gap between what players expect and what they experience during the game.

Desktop Dungeons: Rewind has many classic designs that still look fresh today. In fact, this 3D remastered version hardly improves on the original, the graphics losing the delicate flavour of the original 2D art. If you were to ask a veteran player who has spent hundreds of hours playing Desktop Dungeons, the answer would undoubtedly be "not as good as the original". But if you were to ask whether Rewind is fun, I think it's still worth playing.

The design concept of Beyond the Long Night is excellent and full of new ideas, but the difficulty is a little too hard. This may have discouraged players before they had a chance to immerse themselves in the game. If you are a player who likes the challenge of high difficulty bullet hell games and can tolerate repetitive looping levels, then you may enjoy this game.
