House of the Dying Sun is very intense, but also bit short space action. It will please with adrenaline warfare in great pace, but the game content offered is far from enough.

It’s really difficult to even grade this game. Should it be called “Overwatch 2” at all? And how is it going to grow? Right now, it brings next to nothing to veterans but still remains a very good team shooter.

You won’t find a better game about archaeology, and you’ll be hard-pressed to unearth two protagonists with more chemistry. The story is excellent, save maybe the very end. The rivers are waiting for you, as is the ancient language!

After three years of waiting, we’re getting a promising but unpolished farming game with a host of aging systems in dire need of updating. Even so, virtual farmers will happily spend hundreds of hours here.

The best tennis series has returned after 13 years and once again proved that it still has it. TopSpin 2K25 is the best tennis simulation you can play today, despite taking a few little steps back.

Brutal sport with appropriate tactical flavor offers a very good basic gameplay as well as a campaign which make the start of the game simple even to newcomers. The joy of the game, however, is somehow spoiled by the match slow pace and unbalanced races.

Heading Out is one of the most bizarre genre mixes ever encountered. The racing element is fun, the comic-style narrative engaging, the graphic design simply fantastic, the road trip aspects immersive, the radio broadcasts natural and bold, the pervasive threat suitably unsettling, and the desire to figure out what’s going on is immense. It's a strange game, but it works, it's enjoyable, and it's refreshing to see someone unafraid to experiment. This time, the gamble paid off.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a different kind. It's incredibly absorbing in its pace, it amazes with a manically detailed medieval era features and a totally true atmosphere, a series of skillfully built quests and, and when you get used to it, a fantastic combat system. There is a one-too-much cliché in the story arc, but the main problem lies in the technical issues. The game is, however, such a remarkable, huge, different and fresh experience that the occasional bug can be simply ignored.

More suitable for women than for men. Rather for social networks fans than for those serious about sweat and sore muscles. If you are able to see through all the "buts" and "whys", you won't be disappointed, but delighted neither.

Shadowrun Returns is a neat return. Maybe you'll miss a sophisticated combat system or long narrative story, but the game makes it up to you with its crime story and its great atmosphere. If you are positive for isometric RPGs, it would be a pity to miss this one.

This is certainly not a bad game, but it’s missing a spark, something to make you want to skip work and play a few more turns. Furthermore, the combat system is boring and everything relies on chance too much for my liking. This expedition has lost itself.

The fourth Far Cry put on an animal skin and tried a prehistoric act. However, virtually nothing has changed under the surface –good news for the fans but bad news for those who hoped for significant changes. Luckily the core mechanics of the original still work well.

A very good brand-expansion that relies heavily on its combat. However, it ignores the main virtues of the brand itself such as: atmosphere, suspense, fear and a classic horror story. It's working, it's entertaining, true, but one can't help thinking the game has been rushed out.

Days Gone primarily offers a great, atmospheric story. Its design has flaws, but should you overlook them, you are going to enjoy a detailed world and fun action gameplay. And that is, in the end, worth it.

Stylish and addictive runner game. Super Mario Run is not completely error-free, but those few imperfections are washed away with geyser of perfect ideas, pure joy of movement, and especially the top level design.

Rise of the Ronin may not win any beauty contests, and Team Ninja could use a crash course in UI design, but this Japanese adventure is a fantastically fun action ride with plenty of swords, severed heads, and political intrigue. And as a bonus - cuddling with kittens!

Persona 5 Tactica is a bit deceiving addition to the series and rather an experiment. It's easy to get the impression that Persona loses some of its charm due to the shift to a turn-based strategy, but the series is more taking a step sideways and introspecting. Despite criticisms of the narrative and its pacing, it is more than just an entertaining venture.

Dordogne is a warm, colorful game, able to send you back to your childhood years. It tells of two contrasting worlds, looking for similarities between them. The ending of the story doesn’t connect quite in the way it should, but the experience as a whole is deeply emotional and truly worth your time.

Fairy-tale-ish New York for adults is magical once again, and it continues to be that excellent noir detective fiction sparking your interest. However, the content itself is weaker this time, and the long waiting was not helping it.

This crazy bundle of more than 200 micro-games offers a truly bonkers visual mix and furious tempo. It’s not very good in singleplayer but if you’re looking for something to spice up your house party, this might just be your best bet.

Fans of great and unusual stories (but also games that do not give anything for free) should give Pathologic HD chance - they must just swallow the fact the visuals are obsolete and the gameplay is also quite minimalistic.

A very complex, but also quite accessible turn-based strategy from AGEod Studios that aims to simulate all the complexities of ancient civilizations. Yes, there are minor pratfalls and lapses, but a patient general will succumb to its charms all the same.

An engaging arcade racer with a wealth of colorful and enjoyable content, The Crew Motorfest slots itself among the great and undemanding racing games. With its satisfying driving model and diverse vehicle selection, it provides countless hours of fun.

Cronos: The New Dawn proves that Bloober Team has finally found its stride. The studio has crafted a survival horror with striking aesthetics, original monsters, and clever manipulation of time that nostalgically recalls Dead Space and Silent Hill, while still maintaining its own identity. Atmosphere, visuals, and storytelling drive the experience forward, and though it occasionally stumbles on minor design missteps, it stands as one of the best genre entries in recent years.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is, for better or worse, simply another Borderlands. Is that something you still crave, the simplistic gameplay and the irreverent humour? That’s for you to decide.

A game document that excels in a faithful representation of WWII-protectorate reality. It has a cool atmosphere and sympathetic visuals, yet if you are looking for a sophisticated gameplay, you will be disappointed.

Those spinning arcade tires have begun to smell originally and brazenly, which is pleasant. Surprisingly, Rivals brings many innovations and a lot of fun into the Need for Speed series. Its multiplayer game system called AllDrive is like a whole revolution. Shame there are some notorious bugs in it.

If a traditional 3D arena action merges with a roguelike, it can be hell, or hell of a lot of fun game. Tower of Guns is the latter.

A fine line of a multiplayer shooter appears under a cloud of faults. This game is not afraid of getting out of an arcade stream, and it tortures a player with its realism and team-based gaming approach; it also brings several approaches of online warfare. Yet, the starts are painful, but Stalingrad's atmosphere won't let you leave.

Super Mario Party Jamboree for Switch 2 is a missed opportunity. While the core game remains a fantastic party classic, the new Jamboree TV expansion undermines the experience. Instead of one cohesive package, you're left with two separate apps that don't communicate with each other. If you already own Jamboree, there's little reason to upgrade – and if you don't, you're better off grabbing the cheaper original version.

A superb bite-sized experience with an excellent combat system, enchanting graphics, and fantastic flamenco-infused music. En Garde! oozes humor, its fencing duels are action-packed and truly satisfying. Regrettably, it falls short in terms of its relative brevity, simplistic platforming, and uninteresting storyline.

PGA Tour 2K23 takes an already excellent golfing simulator and builds upon it, making it better and more fleshed out by adding things that were sorely needed. We’re still waiting for properly glamourous careers and tournaments but the gameplay itself will spellbind every golf fan.

Serious Sam returns with style. Furious, crazy, brutal, and just as he was from the very beginning. Different point of view and beautiful style fit well and it does not matter whether you are fans of the series or not. Anyone will enjoy this uncontrolled massacre.

When a game's content goes hand in hand with its form, it's always a pleasure. Moreover, when the old times meet the modern-day, and it works great somehow, we may call it a miracle. Such is Mercenary Kings a shooter.

Building your own Dino Park may be more fun than last time and the game is beautiful, with a certain cinematic quality to it, but there are just too many missteps, both connected to game design and technical in nature. Unless you absolutely adore dinosaurs, just play Planet Zoo.

An action hack and slash game in the known world both the experienced gamers and newcomers will fall in love with. Hyrule Warriors is offering great gameplay along with accessible controls, as well as with well-designed ascending game difficulty. Furthermore, they are not afraid to accentuate both exploration and tactical behaviour.

If blood of the true multiplayer gamer runs through your veins and if you know the rocket jumping, then ShootMania Storm is just for you. And if not, do not be afraid, go ahead and defeat those gamers. Your skill is your limit.

Considering the atmosphere and the story Distrain is a job well done – instead of ostentatious horror it scares mainly with its realism and spooky normality, wrapped in occasional psychedelia. From time to time I lacked the option to control the game with a mouse and some game mechanics could be more user-friendly. These minor flaws, however, do not change the fact, Distrain is very pleasant experience.

A robotic medieval knight and dungeons full of gold? An irresistible combination. This weird platformer is pleasant to look at and fun to play, even though it’s a bit rusty around the edges.

The failures of Legion lie at its very heart, in the option to play as anybody you want. The only way to recommend this game? Try it out if you wish to virtually visit a beautiful, faithfully recreated London.

Dead Take isn’t a perfect horror game, but it’s a solid interactive drama full of ideas, atmosphere, and – most importantly – great acting. If you’re looking to experience a short, cinematically styled psychological thriller with a touch of experimental flair and escape-room gameplay mechanics, this is definitely the right place to be.

Wulverblade is an absolutely uncompromising fighter game with breathtaking audiovisual and honestly prepared historical assets. Unfortunately, its brutal difficulty is absurdly driven to the extreme by a special movement system. But for true masochists, it's actually a plus.

Fun times for all explorers eager for well-made levels full of secrets. You probably won’t enjoy the action parts too much, but it’s still well worth your time.

In theory, a brilliant card game for a demanding audience. In reality, a concept heavily damaged by bad balancing and a truly terrible monetization system. It may yet prove to be a success in the future - but right now, this is a game for wealthy masochists only.

Quick and dynamic football game with incomplete licenses and (for PC version) ugly visuals with a few technical problems. Even a couple of regrettable changes in gameplay can’t cover that PES 16 offers a unique football experience.

Highly funny and well-crafted content, however, in a small dose and at fairly high price. So what now? The Necromancer is an amazing figure, but it's hard to get rid of the feeling that Blizzard could offer much more.

Midnight Fight Express is a great fighting game, simple, yet varied and inventive. There’s also loads of pop culture references and a crazy story, even if the narrative loses its way a bit near the end.

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 lack of content is only but formidable flaw of otherwise very successful Truck Simulator.

A nostalgic love letter for Tomb Raider veterans, a merciless experience for modern gamers. The remastered trilogy perfectly captures the qualities of the old games, but the gameplay is fully faithful to its time. Newcomers should approach with caution.

Shin Megami Tensei is back on modern hardware and modern players will have their fair share of problems with it. I’d recommend this only to very patient, challenge-hungry JRPG veterans.

Everyone would want a laser slicer that cuts a single column size of the Žižkov Television Tower in half. Grandpa's Leftovers truly puts you a tool like that into your hands. Too bad this original arcade game is terribly short.

EA Sports FC 24 represents yet another safe, conservative continuation of a well-established formula. For those willing to invest time and enthusiasm into Ultimate Team, it promises year-round entertainment. However, it's challenging to make a compelling argument for offline players to not miss it this year. The football gaming scene is still in desperate need of a fierce competitor for EA's franchise.

The campaign might be forgettable, but it’s bailed out by the excellent multiplayer experience. Infinity Ward confirms that it’s simply the best caretaker studio of the Call of Duty franchise. But they must not rest on their laurels because the game needs long-term support.

Another installment, another predictable outcome. Farming Simulator remains an engrossing journey into the world of agriculture, capable of devouring hundreds of hours with its almost zen-like gameplay. However, for every exciting new feature or moment of enjoyment, there’s a lingering thought that it’s time for a more significant overhaul.

A sequel / not a sequel to a fun cooperative shooter has been marked by changes of its studios along with the unwillingness (or straight forbiddance) to move the game onward. This is rather a grey copycat of the previous installment that cannot be matched with, considering the game's content. This game scores particularly due to the cooperation gameplay.

Addition to Prey is decorated with fresh mechanics and an interesting change in the overall pace, but some of the positives of the original have also been sacrificed. In particular, exploration of the environment, atmosphere build-up and the possibility of slow approach. Mooncrash is still worth playing, thanks to the catchy rogue-lite system, meaningful storyline and great music and sound.

In the rush for controversy the developers have forgotten what makes a good horror game. Outlast 2 turned out to be a game that targets the streamers and forgets the real players.

Although the ravages of time are evident on this version, additional adjustments of its gameplay get it on the top of the genre. The camera is irritating and the same we can say about the level design, we can hardly blame remaster for it. Moreover, it does not change anything on the fact; this is a must-have for all fans of the genre.

A brilliant example of the simple fact that augmented reality can be miles better than actual VR. This is a great family game that focuses on your own creativity and willingness to have fun.

Do not trust your first impression - this game is a true gem. Elaborate, huge, unbridled, stylish, fresh, captivatingly different. The only blemish is its poor performance and many bugs.

Cooperative action Killing Floor 2 pleads for attention with richer content, explicitly displayed violence and perfectly optimized technology. It is nearly like the previous installment, but we could expect anything else. The attractiveness of the game increases the creativity of its community.

The established ice hockey series overcomes itself with new NHL18. Players get a great deal of news, such as Skill Stick for defense, 3-on-3 game mode, or the ability to build their own team. Thanks to the extensive training blocks, you can simply absorb all these new features with existing ones. The NHL is therefore an ideal opportunity for new players to enter the series. Not to mention the fact that all fans must have it.

Become a judge during the French Revolution and decide who gets to keep their head. The game will listen to your every decision, but be careful - or you will taste the guillotine yourself.

A solid action RPG with tons of great mechanics. However, the mechanics have been over-combined, the game is very difficult and the controls should have been tuned up.

Great shoot-outs, freedom of choices and a lot of creative work in the hangar make the Galaxy Rebel interesting option for of space activities and simulation lovers.

The wonders of building your own railway are back. Railway Empire 2 is beautiful and addictive, and while a full sequel should perhaps offer more, it’s great fun anyway.

At its core, an enjoyable game that trips over itself with peculiar technical solutions. It looks great, and the sound is perhaps even more impressive, but the experience is hindered by the unenjoyable hero and weapon upgrades and a lack of synergy among them. Despite the flaws, it remains an entertaining title that you can enjoy if you overlook its shortcomings.

Fortunately, after more than a quarter of a century since the fall of the Iron Curtain we can just play totalitarian. Luckily for us, Beholder is top class. As a career snitch, you destroy people's lives, but perhaps you even repent afterwards. The classy strategy with variety of options is nearly flawless, although shame on so many restarts in the campaign!

A ghost ship, an unpredictable script and non-linear gameplay. This interactive horror will show you that fear can be an art.

Although it was hoped by many it’s not Syndicate with modern visuals. It is a great piece with atmosphere, quite good stealth-tactical strategy and lousy shooter. If you are forgiving, you could have some fun.

A refreshing, frantic, difficult but above all incredibly entertaining game. Such is Infested Planet, a 2D shooter with strategic elements. If you take pleasure in aliens bloodbaths, do not hesitate and get it.

Unreal Engine, top-notch technology, goes hand in hand with game's addicting gameplay and its great vibe – something I wouldn't expect from a mobile/tablet game like Gyro13.

"What could I do to save a loved one?" For such a question it is usually late in real life, but the Last Day of June adventure can answer it. The game will amaze you by its unusual theme and emotions so you will forgive its few issues.

Seasons After Fall is a nice fairytale game from the forest, which responds to the season changes. All this is complemented by a catchy soundtrack. Neither puzzles nor gameplay offer a serious challenge, but the game works miraculously even without them.

Arcade escapades of the legendary raccoon master thief Sly Cooper can be recommended to the handheld owners, even though you won't find qualities of the previous installments. Still, it is one of the best easy-to-play games on PlayStation Vita, entertaining die-hard fans as well as the newcomers.

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.

It really is admirable what a Ukrainian studio haunted by war managed to create in such a short span of time. But the compromises do show. It’s fun to solve puzzles based on Sherlock’s deduction, but the story feels disjointed, some scenes make no sense and there are several unfortunate design mistakes to boot.

It doesn't matter if you see Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes as a tech demo or a regular game, it’s still a demonstration of Phantom Pain possibilities. Ground Zeroes is in many ways a great game, but as a whole it is incoherent one. And if it's not your habit to return to a game over and over again, this one may be quite short for you.

Some games are “too old to change”, but sometimes it's just not necessary. Battlezone proves it, it can beat the competition even in its original form with its attractive gameplay and classic look.

Unsurprisingly, to fully appreciate it, The Expanse: A Telltale Series requires you to be a fan of both Telltale Games' narrative-driven format and The Expanse series or books. It faithfully captures the essence that drew to the original, even though gameplay innovations are scarce.

A follow-up to the construction and management simulation game series brings the same gameplay and atmosphere that are flawless like in the previous installments, but on top of that it throws in several interesting novelties and improvements. The game could not avoid tiny flaws, but even with them it is an excellent experience.

Successor to The Whispered World didn’t make it to the developer’s Hall of Fame. The game abandons the principles of a classic adventure game and tries to push on more action playing style like are games from Telltale Games studio – not very successfully to be honest.

This is a solid debut for a small studio, despite quite a few reservations that have emerged during my time with the game. If you like the soulslike genre, by all means, try this one out, but I’d recommend waiting for a discount.

Etherborn is a dreamy trip of a body in search of its voice across beautifully crafted levels, supported by a soundtrack that is simply flawless. Plus you must solve some puzzles that toy with gravity. And that’s it - but honestly, this game doesn’t need anything else.

Star Wars Outlaws masterfully utilizes its license and space western atmosphere, yet the variety of activities quickly falls into the familiar pattern of Ubisoft's open-world games. This repetition overshadows the inventive teamwork between Kay and Nix, as well as the brilliant Sabacc card game.

A classic point-and-click adventure game with an interesting plot and post-apocalyptic mood, which successfully focuses on storytelling, but forgets a little bit the gameplay on the way.

An adventure game from a first-person perspective where a player explores a parody on the 60' that is full of robots, secret agents, and absurdist humour? Great! However, the final outcome is staggering because of its game parody approach.

A walk through the human soul could not be portrayed any better. Mind is an original nice-looking puzzle game, and if you make sense of the meaning of tasks, then the game is quite playable. It would have been perfect, if it was programmed slightly better.

Have you ever wanted to lead your men into an actual medieval battle? Now’s your chance. Field of Glory II: Medieval is a chaotic melee with its own unique, unpredictable dynamism. It’s great, even if medieval warfare is slightly more monotonous than its ancient counterpart.

A not particularly groundbreaking but enjoyable World War II iteration of the old template. Classified may occasionally feel a bit cheap and outdated, but it manages to surprise with solid gameplay, a few good ideas, and a likable albeit somewhat incomplete emphasis on stealth.

Diving into the depths of Under The Waves unveils an immersive underwater world brimming with captivating exploration, atmospheric density, and an emotionally charged narrative. However, the overall execution appears as if the creators were assembling the Titan submarine – a touch rough around the edges. Technical imperfections disrupt the illusion of seamless immersion, and the redundant crafting along with its narrative inconsistency simply break the spell at times. Yet, it undeniably possesses a certain charm underneath.

If you allow it, Grow Home will wrap you around its finger. An unusual platformer from the Ubisoft studio can charm with visuals, entertain and -thanks to its precisely set length- it can’t start boring you. The purity of design and old-school approach makes it an ideal candidate for the one or two night’s company.

A good port of the first Max Payne game is spoiled by the only thing - its controls. Even though the control system is adjustable, it is not as impressive as it should be, and it can be annoying from time to time. That's the reason why the gunfights are not entertaining enough as they used to be. However, there is no reason to turn your back on this port because the rest of the game is exactly the same as we've remembered - stylish, rough, funny, and above all of good quality.

An excellent RPG space shooter with a style of the classics that's going to entertain you till the end of the world. The game offers more than 20 hours of single player gameplay, in which you won't take a break. And then there's the game's multiplayer.

Good turn-based strategy with the instant real-time mode switch is maybe very similar to the previous parts but still brings enough new features so even the fans of the series will enjoy it. Yet the main hallmark of the game is the impersonated gaming experience - in other words, this game will grab your heart, even though (or because) it's about zombies and often about desperate survival efforts.

Do not trust anyone nor yourself! With such philosophy, you will fight in the survival action from the Arctic, where snow and frost are not surprisingly the biggest problem. Distrust plays nicely with human psyche, offers the movie mood in a generated environment. Surprisingly however, you yawn sometimes.

A well-made arcade game with a relatively original action concept that works surprisingly well. Onrush would be better with more content, options and deeper system, but the current version can entertain.
