When someone brings an excellent title, and then announces they are planning a sequel you automatically expect, and sometimes you are right, that the next installment won't beat the original. However, Rayman Legends traverses this belief with its unshaken confidence, and it sets forward the whole Rayman series to the new, LEGENDARY, level.

If Witcher 3 were great novel, Heart of Stone is an equally great tale. It takes place in the universe of the original game, but it tells its own story, that fits perfectly into the universe and belongs among the best, what the creators of CD Projekt invented. It is a touching, funny, extensive... And it's also an absolute obligation for everyone, who liked Witcher 3 a bit.

A mysterious detective tale filled with bizarre moments and occasionally overly convoluted storytelling. However, it oozes personality and charisma by the gallons. Remedy crafts their peculiar universe on a solid foundation, resulting in a fantastic and original game. It's just not for everyone.

Xenoblade Chronicles is a stylish example of how to work with a brand across Nintendo consoles. Fans of the genre will be delighted, its detractors certainly will not.

Like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask also passed the test of time and it truly is fascinating that fifteen-year-old game is able to surprise more than many of the AAA productions. Majora's Mask 3D is more accessible than the original. Despite it is a carefully done remake, it often unnecessarily frustrates and most of the time remains in the shadow of Ocarina of Time.

The Walking Dead series offers one of the most intense game story of recent years that is not hardcore on its gamers from the adventure point of view. So relax, seat yourselves and let the zombie-apocalyptic world suck you in.

A dark action-RPG as you know it. Unforgiving and difficult, but rewarding. It boasts with great music and perfect design. Inconveniences such as bad interface or occasional strange targeting system can be overlooked. If you do not have enough after the first two episodes, you'll enjoy Dark Souls III.

Pillars of Eternity is an outstanding game. It can be criticized with number of individual issues, but as a whole it works great, almost perfect. I know that all veterans of isometric RPGs will enjoy this game, and I firmly believe that not only them will do so.

A brilliant single-player roguelike with awesome card battles at its core. Individual runs vary massively, resulting in almost endless replayability. There’s only one complaint - random luck plays too big a role in determining your success or failure. Other than that, this is simply a great, serious RPG.

The world championship title is won on the track and behind the scenes in the F1 2017. Codemasters have created the finest formulas race in history that combine a brilliant driving model with perfect racing management. You will feel like a real sport star.

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.

This game brings a huge amount of consistently brilliant fun and happiness. It’s not a revolution, but it’s damn near perfect at what it does.

Dark Souls is a neat, die-hard and time-consuming game – aside from its predecessor the only one of its kind. This game is not for everyone – that's not a flaw, but a virtue.

A fantastic combination of Pokémon, a building sandbox, and a cozy life simulator that can absorb you for dozens of hours. It can feel slightly overwhelming at times, but ultimately stands as a dream come true for fans of Pokémon and Animal Crossing, and one of the best reasons to own a Nintendo Switch 2.

The first and only expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 easily justifies its existence with its captivating espionage plot. The invitation to return to Night City is simply hard to refuse. It doesn't just offer more of the same; with its attention to detail, story, and the multitude of ways to handle every situation, it can be ranked on par with both expansions for The Witcher 3.

Fez is an imaginative and congenial indie game. However, it had been in development for a very long time, which means the game's effort to "do things differently" is somewhat forced, inferior and even irritating sometimes. Nevertheless, thanks to rewards after successfully solved puzzles, thanks to detailed graphics with well-made mechanics of the game world rotating - you will gladly and constantly return to this title.

This is how a remake should look like. It’s a brilliant blend of atmosphere and action with added bits of story and some tasteful modernization.

Crazy and funny and in many ways a better game than the original. Borderlands 2 hasn't changed its gaming formula, it has just improved the original mechanics and added some new ones to our absolute satisfaction. At first you won't probably tell a difference, but at the end of the day your experience will be much better.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade shows the correct way to conclude a console generation’s journey. But beware - the Intermission episode won’t really satisfy the hunger for the next instalment - on the contrary, your impatience will probably only increase.

A fantastic experience that will take over your life for hours on end. Tactical battles and micromanagement of your units join forces with complex relationships and a good story.

Death Stranding 2 is a confident sequel: Still strange and poetic, but now more accessible, coherent, and featuring significantly more enjoyable gameplay. Kojima’s signature style is omnipresent, yet this time it feels less self-indulgent. Technically excellent, the game also shows meaningful progress in combat and world design. It's not for everyone, but for its target audience, it’s an almost perfect experience.

Technically excellent port that shows the beauty of games we can experience today and makes you wish more studios would make use of the Decima engine.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth lives up to the promised grandeur in its name. It has more cities, more battles, more characters, more options, more of everything. It just sometimes struggles to decide what exactly it wants to hook you with and gets a bit lost in its own nostalgia. In the end, though, it's impossible not to have fun with it.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is like complicated scales with their many weighing pans. It's almost perfectly balanced. Firaxis did a great job by transforming the old graphics and atmosphere as well as by optimizing the original gameplay for the 21st century. XCOM is not a game that wants to compete with the old time classic. No, you don't even need to know it - XCOM expands on it. XCOM is the game that deserves a sequel.

Rez Infinite is an artistic pearl in which the audiovisual effects outshine the core gaming entertainment. But players who know what to expect will not be disappointed.

A great game meets expectations and excels in a multiplayer. However, it isn't a perfect title of its genre as the game's campaign misses several touch ups. Battlefield 3 will definitely hold up among present shooters and with its multiplayer it's going to stick its players to their screens for a very long, long time.

A sci-fi adventure in which you’re trying to find an alien substance on seemingly abandoned planets. The graphics are amazing, as is the soundtrack and the atmosphere. The puzzles feel akin to escape room games, varied and interactive. And there’s even some shooting!

This is an unbelievably powerful engine, yet quite simple to grasp and create games, movies and music. Anyone can create anything. That you can do so with a gamepad in hand is nothing short of incredible.

An amazing helping of skating fun for the nostalgic players among you. This is a remake that perfectly encapsulates the qualities and atmosphere of the original games.

Excellently made action adventure with RPG elements in a large open world is only a foundation. The creators of Killzone piled up lots of good ideas, innovations and systems that together move the genre bar higher.

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.

Ghost of Tsushima may not be an ode to pure design originality, but it's so incredibly stylish and plays so well that I couldn't put it down (again). An excellent port of a great game. There's nothing to debate.

Sophisticated and complex sandbox with the massive content. You will like its calm mood and pure gameplay. For a long time, there was not such funny and fulfilling game offering a perfect relaxing experience.

If you haven’t yet played Devil May Cry 5 and you have a new console at home, don’t waste a second and go buy this brilliant action game. If you’re a veteran, just buy the Vergil DLC and be done with it.

The remake brings huge changes in terms of graphics, the gameplay has remained the same in many ways.

Severed starts out as a very interesting modern version of classical dungeon crawlers. With increasing time, however, the game loses the pace and starts to be somewhat tedious.

A wild ride where you take on imaginative, towering beasts. Monster Hunter Wilds once again polishes its gameplay ever closer to perfection. While the story may feel like an afterthought, the epic battles against fierce monsters are absolutely breathtaking and unmatched.

A clever mix of survival and RPG with an immersive world that’s more than just a tribute to Half-Life. Driven forward with a story full of sharp satire, action, and horror, while overflowing with ideas, surprises, and new inventions. Whether you’re battling alien scum with a launcher of razor-sharp discs or just racing down hallways on office chairs with a silly grin, you’re in for a great ride.

The combat system is fantastic and innovative, hellishly difficult, but its humiliation and battle are incredibly fulfilling. Sekiro looks great, moves great, and the design environment and levels are phenomenal.

A concert of pure joy, a game full of fantastic fun which will keep you entertained until you manage to become the best version of yourself. The story and the characters might not be everybody’s cup of tea - but there are angelic cats!

Cocoon is a confidently crafted and impressively detailed puzzle game. It isn't afraid to let you explore and figure things out, rewarding your efforts with unparalleled satisfaction. The fantastic visual design and beautiful soundtrack complement the experience. While you might not be left gaping at plot twists during the credits, you'll undoubtedly sit back with a profoundly content feeling, knowing you've cleverly solved it all. That's precisely what I expect from a puzzle-centric game.

Mario Kart 8 is offering a great deal of racing on well-designed tracks, and the game is sure-footed especially in its multiplayer. Don't expect anything revolutionary, expect "just" great fun.

Super Mario Maker is mainly the editor mostly for creative souls. But even players without any design ambition find here a lot of fun and original concepts brought by others.

One of the best sandbox games since the Minecraft. It is certainly not without mistakes, but frankly there is no other similarly entertaining simulation on the market.

Mewgenics is a tactical RPG that only appears cute on the surface, hiding beneath its layer of meows an unprecedentedly deep, brutally addictive, and creatively unrestrained system that rewards experimentation, tolerates failure, and joyfully breaks its own rules. It offers an almost endless number of combinations, constant surprises, and the sense of playing something that refuses to repeat itself or pander. It can easily consume hundreds of hours without ever feeling exhausted or self-indulgent, while confidently pushing the entire genre forward. If a modern gold standard for tactical roguelite RPGs exists, its name is Mewgenics.

Excellent action jumble of genres and play styles, which does not look that good, but all its cons are masked by its great story and unconventional narrative. Automata definitely isn’t for everyone. But if you are not afraid of the Japanese weirdness and instead of sweet tearjerkers you’d want a proper depression with philosophical questions, you won’t regret buying this game.

One of the best modern action adventures has finally arrived to PS4. Except a few small issues this version is a success, moreover, you will get all DLC along with the game; you can play in co-op and you will experience and extraordinary trip to Lara's home –  even with the support of VR. Set high difficulty, turn off auxiliary indicators and enjoy the Tomb Raider with everything that goes with it.

It Takes Two is full of ideas and it’s, unquestionably, the best cooperative game for two players out there. The environments and puzzles change frequently enough to keep things fresh, the only slight disappointment being a rather weak story.

A very good platformer with awesome production values. The central character feels good to control, the story is fine and the game is basically unmatched when it comes to graphics. But the gameplay itself, although competent, could use a lot more variety.

This is an RPG adventure in which you talk your way through murders and conspiracies. You’ll have to deal with the consequences of your actions and decisions you sometimes didn’t even wish to make. The visuals are stunning, as is the unique way Pentiment plays with its fonts. The only drawback is the uneven tempo which makes the final revelation feel a bit flat.

Without the slightest doubt the best action game of the pirate and sailor genre ever. Black Flag is smart enough to keep down the Assassin's Creed mythology, and it puts forward its pirates, and colourful and also deadly Caribbean. Instead of a mere expansion of the traditional formula, a charismatic hero along with his Jackdaw ship creates a great tandem bringing something truly new to the series.

A bonus to the ingenious game is atmospheric, and although it brings nothing original, a return of the likeable heroes along with great gameplay is perfectly fine, even though it lasts for a couple of hours.

Far Cry 3 expands the open world possibilities of the game series. Very well-written characters of a scripted main plot are fine addendum of never-ending action and tactical madness. The moment you begin to feel an adventure on a tropical island, you are going to forgive the authors their inconsistently presented experience.

Charming, infinitely fun and full of content and ideas, such is the new game from Insomniac Games. Another notch in the collection of titles that PlayStation owners simply should not miss.

Not only the multiplayer addition, but also that Torchlight II is for all of you Diablo enthusiasts, this game is a living dream. The Torchlight II authors haven't tried to bring novelties at all costs, but instead they've focused to innovate the mechanics that have stood the test of time. They've made an excellent job.

The Masterpiece, by all meanings. If you want, you get mastered to pieces. It is an undoubted candidate of the game of the year title; you will wish the game never ends.

Enhanced Edition should become the model case for a competition. Except for a few things it levels up almost every game element; it offers the players countless hours of high-quality voice-acting; it’s nicer and controls are flawless on consoles. In addition, now features a local multiplayer. If they get rid of a few past issues, the game would deserve a full [100].

Forbidden West is consistent if not revolutionary, conservative but also precise, self-confident, sweeping, and personal. And oftentimes it simply takes your breath away.

Although Fire Emblem Fates is slightly larger and more complex than its predecessor Fire Emblem Awakening, it fails to ignite a same level of a boundless enthusiasm, because both games are just too similar. All and all it isn´t anything bad. On the contrary, it’s still a top turn-based strategy with a great focus on RPG elements. You hardly find some better games on 3DS.

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.

Arkane serves a successful evolution of their older concepts, which will entertain with variability, delight with stylization and excite with action. Too bad it is too much guidance and inconsistent artificial intelligence.

A classic is born. This World War II strategy game is basically perfect and every turn-based general simply must try its comfortable armchair.

A commendable return to form for a legendary brand. Metroid Dread does everything well but never truly excels.

The brilliant gunplay lifted from Titanfall 2 is just a foundation for many ingenious improvements of the base formula. Apex Legends is huge news not only for the battle royale genre, but also for team shooters as a whole.

A unique title making fun not only from the game production but above all from us, the gamers. And it succeeds in it fabulously. The Stanley Parable is an extremely intelligent, humorous, and fitting game for those, who are hard to please. A game you wanted so madly, without even knowing you really want it.

Monster Hunter Rise brings with it several new features that should become mainstays of the series. At the same time, however, it loses one of its most impressive systems - tracking the monsters. And so the hunt loses much of its magic.

Battlefield 1 disrupts the grueling hegemony of shooters from the modern and futuristic wars. It is not just about new historic era, because the game looks beautiful, and it is also great to play; does not tire you – a fact, we can´t say about other FPS series. Sometimes it is simply necessary to take a step backwards, so you can move forward.

Legacy of the Void improves and innovates every part of the game within its boundaries.

This is the newest great arcade series' installment, and since it makes use of the new Sony handheld's capabilities and controls at full throttle, it belongs among the best PlayStation Vita titles. The game has only one major flaw: short story, through which you will rush in no time.

After the FIFA 12 revolution we get finally this new installment with tuned-up innovations, that were previously semi-finished, and as a result we can play one hell of a football game. The newly release novelties and gaming modes improvement underline my words.

Doom Eternal doesn’t care about any modern-day shooter flourishes and instead puts all its demonic strength towards one goal: old-school heavy-metal thrashing.

A great arcade game with the perfectly right fun to challenge ratio. If you belong to the fans of Trials HD or to the little old Excitebike and you still don't have your own Joe Danger copy, then there's something wrong with you.

Each arena is unique, and the heroes’ distinct base traits require specific strategies. All in all, it's another solid entry in the survivors genre.

The final chapters of the renowned series have never looked better. There are some mistakes, but the opulent movie-like spectacle will pull you in as assuredly now as in the past. It’s just a shame that PC users must take their first steps in the franchise at the very end of the story.

A great addition to a great game. The Director’s Cut brings a lot of new additions, at least on the PS5, and a whole new island offers many hours of new fun.
