Zachtronics Studios are saying goodbye with eight fantastic games packed into one. And it’s amazing. The individual games, the stories that surround them, the nostalgic feeling - this is as good a send-off as they get. Thank you for everything!

Uncharted 4 is like a book that you literally swallow page by page, but at the same time you are sad to see the diminishing count of unread pages. You don´t want it to end, you know what is coming but nothing can be done. Nathan Drake's adventure ends, but it's probably the best final chapter you could wish for.

Excellent adventure with a fast-paced fighting system and sophisticated RPG elements could be compared to the “Souls-series” games thanks to its difficulty setting and some mechanics. However, it is so imaginative and visually successful, that it’s definitely not a rip-off. On the contrary it has the potential to create its own group of fans who will be discovering the secrets of the game for several more months.

A great adaptation of one of the best card games of all time. It’s fast, it’s accessible, it isn’t any less complex than the original. Are you bored of Hearthstone? Try Arena.

Rayman Jungle Run serves the fans or the ones with iPads, iPhones, Androids passing by. Well worked-out control system along with groovy audiovisuals render homage to the game and hardware. If it's possible, do not hesitate. Whoopee!

One hell of a bloody nostalgia path, that surprisingly greatly seals this whole series. At the same time it seals one crucial brand of the modern video game generation, and from a perspective of those previous parts it is a really cocksure sealing, without a doubt. The game's got a great tempo with great ideas and a great vibe. GoW 3 will reward all of you living in the series for a couple of years, knowing almost everything from Sera's history, as well as it will reward those of you knowing practically nothing about the previous games. Delta, it was a great honour.

A great continuation of the venerated series. It has good combat, interesting characters, finely crafted dialogues and movie-like sequences that breathe life into the story.

An incredibly addictive platformer with adorable graphics and a fantastic musical score. Its gameplay captivates newcomers and challenges experienced players alike, and if you aim to collect everything, you're in for a decent challenge.

Horizon may be slowly getting older, but it hasn’t lost any of its exquisite qualities. This is still a brilliant action adventure in an original open world filled with well-crafted stories. And, thanks to the PC port, it looks (and moves) better than ever before.

The excellent stealth game is equal in everything with its legendary genre predecessors. Must have for all Commandos-series fans.

A fantastic pocket-sized turn-based strategy game that you can play almost endlessly thanks to its rich content. Wargroove 2 captivates with its beautiful design, new mechanics, and an excellent roguelite Conquest mode. While I might opt for more complex strategies on PC, it's definitely among the gems on Switch.

Excellent logic-based platformer that can entertain both young and old. Precise design goes hand in hand with a likable presentation and refined gameplay that caters to modern trends while not forgetting the old ways. Once again, Nintendo hits the bullseye.

Blizzard has created an excellent team shooter that smashes the bad habits of the other multiplayer games;game which keeps you at involved thanks to a pure gameplay and fun.

Death Stranding is, on PC just as much as on console, a unique, charming experience filled with strange poetry.

The game's campaign is quite simple to no avail, and some features should be refreshed. However, underneath its puerile skin there are hidden the best executed Pokémons with their traditionally catchy gameplay, pleasing both young and mature gamers. There's no reason for fans of the series to be hesitant, and the rest of you should know the meaning of our number nine - one of the best RPGs of the year.

Split Fiction is the current pinnacle of couch co-op—and will likely remain so until Hazelight releases their next game. It's innovative, action-packed, challenging, and visually stunning. All these strengths more than make up for a somewhat unremarkable story and occasional overly frantic pacing.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is an excellent puzzle platform game that managed to revive the legacy of its predecessor. It's fun from the old school, that is not troubled to work with mechanics and level design that are almost twenty years old. And that you explore during one hour twenty times or you blast to pieces? That is yours and Abe's destiny.

An excellent 3D platformer for all ages, especially those with some PlayStation experience. The levels overflow with playful details, and its precise controls take full advantage of the DualSense controller. While it occasionally repeats certain elements a bit too much, the rich content packed with references to gaming classics makes it arguably the best 3D platformer on the PS5.

Ori and the Blind Forest embodies the best of what platformers have learned in recent years. There was a connection between art, technology, great level design and nearly perfect entertainment in the game.

A short journey to an unknown world, stunning in its audiovisual design. It tells a story full of emotion about a girl searching for a lost sister and about her animal companion, together alone in a world full of robots and danger. There are some missteps regarding the tempo of the game, but otherwise there’s nothing to criticize.

If you love the series and princess Peach is still on your desktop, even after you have met your lovely girlfriend, you know what to do. But if you do not know the series at all, now it is time to fix that mistake and hop in the game. Super Mario 3D Land will make it possible for you as well as make it a really nice experience.

One of the best war strategies I have ever played is a great compromise between fidelity to reality and pure entertainment. Besides the monotony of the environment and the small flaws in the user interface, you can’t complain to anything.

This is how a sequel should be done. There are a few blemishes, but Henry's new adventure is bigger, better, and more refined in every way. No hesitation needed.

After all, a funny and original multiplayer shooter that kept the good from its predecessor, improved some not-so-good mechanics and served a great menu. However, creators made some minor mistakes and several half-way decisions, but as a whole it is a noticeably better product.

This interactive musical might seem to be just another visual novel, but that’s simply not true. It will amaze you not only through its brilliantly written characters with whom you’ll share both laugher and tears, but also through great voice acting and singing thanks to its stellar cast. The main draw is its system of interactive songs with many different variations including various genres and moods.

The sweeping changes in Civilization VII are nothing but beneficial. This legendary turn-based strategy remains as addictive and engaging as ever, packed with fresh ideas—most notably the ability to change civilizations mid-game. Expect dozens, if not hundreds, of hours of deep strategic enjoyment. The only downside? Some key mechanics seem destined to arrive later via expansions.

A brilliant fantasy turn-based strategy which borrows the best parts from those who came before. You’re going to manage cities in the vein of Civilization, fight battles reminiscent of Heroes of Might and Magic, but mainly you’re going to lead your people and shape them through magical evolution, resulting in a myriad combinations and playstyles. This is what a fun, addictive strategy game looks like.

State of Decay is offering you to have first-hand experience of dealing with the zombie-infested Earth. The intense experience is being built-up by plenty of selves-affecting possibilities resulting in one of the best sandbox games of the recent years.

The perfect retro game, especially for Czech players who’ll instantly recognize many environments and even enemies. The gameplay is fun and, together with an original art style, will surely delight all of you who periodically return to classic 90s shooters.

A precisely well-made stealth platformer game throwing you into an open-ended world that forces you to think. With its approach, the game proves it's possible to implement many new and well-functioning elements into this classic genre.

Dave the Diver is a surprisingly excellent game. Its beautiful pixel art is joined by plenty of activities, not very deep, but fun all the same. The weird underwater world is charming and invites discovery. The characters are interesting, with memorable quests. The tempo is a bit unequal sometimes, but the game offers plenty of content nonetheless.

Ghost of Tsushima isn’t very original gameplay-wise and its open world feels a bit tired, but the sheer quality of content, the stylish action, the fantastic sound design and the beautiful environment make this a must-play.

WARNING: If you try this game, you will never stop.

"The best MMORPG game of today" is a phrase no reviewer wants to overuse in view of the fact that they do not know how the game is in a year. At the moment, however, I must say this: Guild Wars 2 is the most attractive online title on the scene.

The best Batman video game? Certainly. The best comics video game? Very likely. The best video game of the year 2011? Who knows… The sure thing is that Arkham City is a paradise for all of you in love with dark worlds thick with interesting characters, events and great gameplay. Bravo!

A game of two halves. One of them is an amazingly detailed and well-told sci-fi story, the other a fun, strategic RPG. And as a whole it works perfectly.

Orwell is both minimalistic and generous piece. Try out the role of an official in a state that degenerated into ‘spy-o-cracy‘. You'll see how easy it is to control a society dependent on the Internet. The idea and gameplay are perfect.

Against the Storm is one of the biggest surprises of the year. Not only did the developers successfully merge the genres of city-building strategy, roguelite, and survival into a cohesive whole, but they also created an incredibly addictive strategy game that is just complex and challenging enough, highly variable, and deep. Even after dozens of hours, it remains fresh, engaging, and impossible to put down.

This game is a diamond hidden under unappealing skin. Once you peel it off, you’ll find literally dozens of overlapping, complex RPG systems, unbelievable freedom in what to do and, well, enough fun for days and weeks.

A superbly written interactive novel that turns the classic damsel in distress narrative on its head. Slay the Princess raises more questions than answers but keeps you hooked until the very end.

Despite a relatively large number of bugs and occasional outdated visuals, Rogue Trader remains a fantastic and massive RPG that is a clear must-play for all fans of the 41st millennium. It shouldn't be missed by enthusiasts of grim narratives and intricate turn-based combat either. Rogue Trader is filled with epic moments, decisions that shape the fate of entire star systems, and brutal rawness that makes delving into the world of Warhammer and the God-Emperor worthwhile.

Oh, the joy of exploring this beautiful world. Oh, the clever combat, the great voice acting, the compelling story. This is one of the best RPGs of the year. And it’s almost beyond comprehension that you can get it for free.

Call of the Sea is proof that “Lovecraft” doesn’t have to mean “darkness and tentacles”. This is a positive, sometimes even cheerful adventure and it’s only the undertones which are ominous, and that works surprisingly well. Also, the puzzles are great, as are the graphics and the quietly moving story.

This stunningly beautiful journey across a magical world deals with themes of personal loss, betrayal and punishment as you watch a civilization turn into a memory. And it doesn’t even matter that you don’t get to actually play the game all that much.

A hurricane of ideas, both gaming and visual, chained into a small gadget, and maybe a short game, sort of. At least there is not a chance it would start to bore you.

You will hardly find a more elaborate sci-fi 4X turn-based strategy. Functional diplomacy, solid AI and brilliant battles are further supported by a highly modular approach to hero and unit customization.

Beautiful new graphics and many game improvements guarantee that this, the Definitive Edition, is by far the best way to experience the legendary Age of Empires II. Even the new content is awesome. Shame about the intermittent lagging and a small multiplayer player pool.

A tribute to the Fumito Ueda will delight the veterans of the original game same as introduce this classic to the newcomers, who are not tuned on a nostalgic note. An ideal opportunity to improve your video game education and a wonderful experience in the same time. Some clumsy controls and occasionally stubborn camera can’t ruin the great experience.

This monumentally huge game, full of unprecedented detail and atmosphere of the Wild West, simply has no equal. Its PC port isn’t perfect by any means, especially regarding the mouse and keyboard controls and the clunky interface.

Mario Kart World is a triumphant return to arcade racing, masterfully blending accessibility with depth, chaos with control, and pure fun with a real challenge. The addition of an open world, new game modes, and stellar technical execution make this not only a worthy successor - but possibly the best Mario Kart ever.

A soap factory called Vessel is awaiting your engagement into the game with its many ideas. Don't worry that you've never heard of this puzzle platform title, it may still be the best puzzle-solving game of the year.

Excellent add-on to the series is friendly to newcomers. Its world is alive and self-sufficient; therefore hunting is natural and catchy. The gorgeous graphics, along with the sophisticated monsters’ behavior make the great experience even better and you can forgive the absence of a more interesting story.

For a while it's a frantic shooter game, then it's a touching confession, afterwards it is a parable about the ideological turmoil in America. The others would break it into pieces, but quantum physics and its creators that are hell-bent on going far than other big productions hold it firmly together.

Its brilliant gaming concept will keep you entertained for a long time. Its creativity, its user-friendly environment and humor of the title will captivate all true gamers.

The king is not dead, long live the king! He's enjoying the booze, he's eating only his remedies and he's killing as many baddies as he can. Max Payne 3 is one hell of a great shooter with modern day enhancements, still bringing the nostalgia into your eyes.

We haven't played something of this crystalline purity in a very long time.

The years of waiting were worth it, Elden Ring is brilliant. It offers a huge amount of content, a beautiful world and addictive gameplay. But the series does start to feel a little bit stale.

The whole madness around PUBG is well-deserved. This is the best possible praise for this great battle-royale-genre shooter. What a pity there are so many bugs, mad vehicle physics and occasional cheaters, but it bothers you only for a while. When you frantically get into the hectic, slightly frightening struggle for life and death you’ll forget anything else.

Metroid Prime Remastered is evidence that true legends can withstand the test of time. This is fantastic fun, it looks great and just simply exhibits no issues whatsoever. Let us have a sequel!

New FIFA made a huge jump in making progress in its own gameplay – we aren't talking about petty changes and gaming-modes propaganda of the previous titles of the series any more. After years of solid gameplay that has been under a deep lethargy nonetheless, here comes a season of dynamic fights for every bit of a football pitch that's going to entertain you, make you excited or nervous – just like your everyday football.

Sports Interactive probably told each other: If it ain't broke, don't fix it; therefore the main mode has been primarily face-lifted. Thanks to its new look the game is still the football management-simulation video game cream of the crop. Even the series newcomers and novice managers are lured into the football management-simulation experience because of the simplified and sped-up Classic mode.

An exceptionally well-made action roguelite that builds on the foundations of Returnal, but further develops and improves it in almost every way. Saros excels in particular in its ambiguous, engaging story, top-notch bullet hell action, and addictive gameplay with thoughtful progression. Although it is somewhat detracted from by a lower level of innovation, a sometimes repetitive environment, and a few frustrating moments, it is an extraordinary game that brings the action to near perfection.

While this breathtaking journey occasionally loses momentum, it quickly pulls you back in with unforgettable moments.

Embark Studios has created a world that not only dazzles visually but also surprises with the warmth of its community. With a well-thought-out progression system, meaningful expeditions, excellent map design, and impressive sound work, it’s a game that entertains far beyond the usual limits of its genre. Despite minor shortcomings in weapon variety and occasional confusion in the loot system, ARC Raiders stands as proof that an extraction shooter can be welcoming, stylish, and exceptionally fun.
