Crysis 3 is an excellent ending of the series. It follows the previous installments, but because of its lesser experiments and changes it hasn't grown together with them completely. However, when the single-player campaign begins to stumble, there is this entertaining and well-functioning multi-player game with its adequate content of audiovisual orgy.

The third part of the repair sim series moves the limits in the right direction once again. It is nicer, more comprehensive and a bit realistic. Basically, it offers much more than its predecessor and innovates its features in the right places. It´s a pity game has a catastrophic start and overpriced packages with licensed cars again. Must-have for fans, for others the opportunity to get something completely new with a little different approach to cars.

From a small game has grown a full-featured multiplayer action, that scores on almost all fronts. Only the single-player part could be more sophisticated. But the crazy game world and addictive gameplay will make it up for you.

Is the Warhammer 40k world completely alien to you? It doesn’t matter. This is still a great, hectic shooter in which you’ll feel as if you’re dancing when you’re actually killing hordes of enemies. You just have to endure the stiff story opening.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a bold experiment that successfully combines addictive roguelite gameplay with the best of Souls – an excellent combat system and a constant sense of challenge. The game excels in multiplayer, where it delivers strong moments of cooperation, effective party roles and constant action without dead spots. On the other hand, it hits its limits in the single-player game – frustration from lost runs, lack of communication options and some lackluster boss fights prevent it from being a full-fledged experience on the level of the main game. Nightreign is ideal for experienced Elden Ring players who want a good dose of combat and experimentation with builds. However, it will probably discourage newcomers.

The Devil in Me is a really good, surprisingly well thought out horror game. It offers a tense atmosphere in its beautiful, haunted hotel. Next time, it’d be nice to see better actors and actresses and work on the main characters’ mental side, however. Still, it’s a proper horror to be enjoyed alone or with friends.

When we compare Shank 2 to the previous instalment we see developers eased up a bit and at the same time they stepped up a gear. The outcome is it's still a great bloody action that will please both fans of the series as well as the newcomers.

A truly unique game in which you play as a warrior, a strategist, a trader, a mercenary, a husband, a king, a criminal… The medieval world will let you do as you please - mainly to lead huge armies into epic battles.

Typical sick humor, clever satire, and underneath all the great RPG with great combat design – this is the new South Park game. Not very good logic puzzles are the only unsuccessful thing in this great game.

The NHL series really needs some competition. Once again, we get improvements in just one game mode while the others gather dust. This year, however, the amount of joy that has been added feels greater than usual.

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.

The endless waiting was worth it. Although the second episode is much shorter than the first one, the pace and humor are still there and the game is able to entertain you from the beginning to the end. Tales from the Borderlands are pointing for great success... when the entire first row comes out.

This is how you make a retro survival horror game. The graphics are heavily stylized, sure, but the dread is present, as is the unease, a brilliant soundtrack and a story flirting with insanity. The gameplay may be traditional, but it’s also been sensibly and sensitively modernized. If only the inventory wasn’t as restrictive and you weren’t forced to backtrack as much…

This is not the most creative title. However, the amount of gameplay is so insane you will enjoy this ride by Volition mad men for a god damn long time. And maybe, a few months later, you will still remember your walk in a city with a helmet of the Imperial Army.

We Were Here Together is, by far, the best installment of the whole series. It’s finally long enough to last you several evenings, it’s much prettier, better to listen to, and its puzzles - finely tailored for two-player cooperation - will torture your mind. It’s just a shame that the story is so weak it’s barely even there.

This killer holiday in Egypt is definitely no boring. On the contrary, it is a pleasant excursion to the times, when the sphinx had a nose, and mysterious killers did not call themselves assassins. You cannot find a nicer version of an Ancient Egypt in any other game, and up to it it’s entertaining. A modest family story affects the whole empire at the end, and you will forgive a handful of bugs to its charismatic heroes, as well as the fact, that you have played the same pattern so many times, just in another scenery.

The main problem of the 4th episode is the fact that its date of release is delayed so much you are halfway through the game and you do not even know it. Anyway, it is the most thrilling instalment of the second Walking Dead series so far. Give us the final episode!

The second part continues in the footsteps of its predecessor and does not bring any major changes. However, it brings a hectic, explosive action accompanied by an excellent, though sometimes too exaggerative story.

Trine is back, basking in the sunlight where it belongs. It’s beautifully stylized and the gameplay is great fun - and not too difficult, apart from some well-placed puzzles. Consider this a thorough recommendation.

Basically, still the same game for twenty years, yet terribly catchy and entertaining – that’s the new Pokémon game. It is however a pity that the authors removed any challenge from story campaign, and that while some minor updates are welcome, other are rather annoying.

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.

Successful detective novel has finally found its way to PC from the handheld zone and any enthusiasts of well-narrated stories shouldn´t definitely miss it.

A great expansion pack worthy of the original game. Surprisingly, the game offers many new properly-dosed ideas, but at the same time it forces to implement new narrative techniques with the useless effort to hold the established boss concept. The actual gameplay (apart the boss thingy) is the pure author's pleasure.

Basically, still the same game for twenty years, yet terribly catchy and entertaining – that’s the new Pokémon game. It is however a pity that the authors removed any challenge from story campaign, and that while some minor updates are welcome, other are rather annoying.

Properly remastered piece, while not so detailed as Windwaker remake, yet it satisfies you and show how great the Twilight Princess is.

If you forgot everything about the big comeback of the first game, you'll get one neat, suprisingly coherent "supercop behind the wheel" piece with plenty of Burnoutish (almost) fun to it.

Gran Turismo 7 keeps to old habits and doesn’t change very much, including graphics. Its automotive love will, however, send you careening back towards your childhood – you won’t stop until you collect every single beautiful car this game has to offer. And race with them, of course, because the driving model is joyous.

Leviathan is the equivalent to the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC for ME2. It has no ambition to transform the game series, it just wants to be joyful Mass Effect 3 gameplay experience. Do not expect any revolution or story revelation, and you will be satisfied.

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.

Another year's volume, another Football Manager, another hundreds of hours of the virtual football game throughout the mouse-clicking. There are no strong novelties this year.

For the others this is a chance to hop into the long-established series of intoxicating football madness with improved Classic mode.

The heart-wrenching tale of two brothers continues to captivate even after so many years. Enhanced by a new graphical presentation and a still-functional, simple, and timeless gameplay, the main attraction remains the story, or more precisely, the style of its narration, masterfully conveyed through the body language of various characters and the breathtaking environment. A beautiful and ageless bite-sized experience, perfect for one or two sittings, now with full-fledged cooperation, although the original innovative control concept has somewhat faded from the game.

You wouldn’t say Final Fantasy XV was ten years in. The game is in many aspects breathtaking and offers details worth waiting for. Everyone finds its thing in this game – at least every slightly JRPG-positive player. Croakers will see hundred-and-one little thing that went wrong, but these marginals are lost in the absurd size and content richness the game offers.

A beautiful, fun, mostly realistic hunting simulator. The shooting is great, making you feel tense, amazed, satisfied from a clean kill, but also angry when you miss. It’s not as polished as it could be but if you like hunting games, you will not be disappointed here.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged takes the very solid core of its predecessor and adds a plethora of smaller changes, making it feel fresh. The updates make racing even more challenging, strategic, and thrilling, with the track editor standing out as one of the best in the genre. It's a shame about the imbalanced difficulty, the element of chance in obtaining new vehicles, and the lack of truly groundbreaking innovations. Nevertheless, it remains a highly entertaining racing arcade, a rarity in the genre.

A very pleasant turn-based strategy set in a strange world, full of tactical possibilities beyond the traditional “rock, paper, scissors” model. What’s more, there are even RPG elements and dialogue choices!

Over a decade old SimCity 4 has finally found its challenger. He is young, nimble and not afraid to go into the ring in cheap shorts without a sponsor sticker. Even where the game stumbles, it is more functional than the recent attempt to restart once sovereign SimCity brand. Someone can say it’s a copycat of SimCity but they did a better job, so what.

Slightly nostalgic, yet contemporary and very impulsive isometric sci-fi action. Inside ruthless mech, tank or hovercraft you'll be taking down the enemies by hundreds, and have fun doing so. You just need to accept a bit extreme difficulty and weird controls.

Stylish and fascinating puzzle game for mobile platforms. It adopts the concept of an interactive comic from the first game, and adds many great upgrades and fixes what was broken.

Unity of Command hits form once again. Its dynamic combat for North Africa is based on the extremely solid base game and offers a fresh, exotic perspective.

A full-blown Resident Evil title. It proves Nintendo 3DS capabilities with its great atmosphere. Along with its fine visuals and excellent gameplay, no one should miss the opportunity to play this game.

Hybrid strategy Stellaris promises a vibrant and changing universe for your space adventure. Although it doesn´t achieve its magnificent goals, it’s close enough to be a great game for every galactic strategist and explorer.

New, yet old-fashioned, still fun and fresh. Gas Guzzlers Extreme fuels the Super gas, and as a second try to grab the motorist's heart it offers entertainment that is golden. Please, scarp the all mainstream racing games. This one has the potential to win the arcade of the year title.

We'll still have to wait for successors to giants like Medieval II or Rome II, but even so, Pharaoh is the best attempt at a historical Total War since Attila, despite borrowing many systems from Warhammer or Saga-labeled titles. Add an extra point if you have an affinity to ancient Egypt and can be satisfied with two or three completed campaigns. On the other hand, if you expect extensive entertainment for hundreds of hours or units that rival the fantasy branch of the series in diversity, you may soon start to get bored with Pharaoh.

You can’t find a better American football game. Not because there is not another game, but mainly because this one is pretty damn good. It looks great, sounds great, and plays great.

Technically there are not many changes, but the important core has remained: exciting cases, interesting characters, movie narrative, great atmosphere of the 1940s. L.A. Noire is a game like a few others, and despite some mistakes in a game design, the fun is same as it was six years ago.

This bloody sandbox rampage through the crowds of undead belongs to the most entertaining launch titles of the winter. Its no way amazing graphics along with its unimaginative story are saved by its great gameplay along with dozens of crazy weapons along with its entertaining co-operative mode.

At its core Grim Dawn is an excellent fighting game. It's a game that shouldn´t be missed by any Diablo or Titan Quest fan.

Helldivers 2 offers a lot of fun in massacring bug or robot populations, and all it takes are a few well-executed gameplay elements, which become most enjoyable when played with a group of friends.

The dark and very particular expedition into the bizarre world, where every corner hides madness. Gorgeous graphics go hand in hand with a standard adventure gameplay, and that "something extra" inserts into the game moral choices. Too bad that some puzzles have no added value and the movement on the screens is a bit floating. Even so, this is an excellent adventure, that should not be overlooked.

A successful remaster of the puzzle-action adventure that retains its charming touch of light horror. Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, however, doesn't hide its slightly outdated structure and a few period-specific bugs that could use a bit of vacuuming.

Great turn-based strategy game with quirky animals stylized in medieval illuminations. Inkulinati is addictive, illustrations are funny and imaginative, but challenging battles against ink monsters will thoroughly test your logical thinking. Beneath its cute exterior lies a small but complex strategy game.

Path of Exile surprises in many aspects. Speaking of an action Diablo-style RPG, it's considered a chestnut. However, the New Zealand developers pleased us with complexity, ideas, and especially with unique gameplay.

Blasphemous 2 has everything a proper metroidvania should have and plenty more besides. It’s properly difficult, it boasts wondrous exploration, epic bossfights and an imaginative world. So it doesn’t really matter that it’s not very different from the previous instalment.

Natural Selection 2 is an interestingly tactical and multiplayer game for patient and thinking gamers. Currently, however, it suffers from the initial pain, and one of the reasons is a lack of new content. But all will be changed with the updates and with the gamers' creativity along with their mods of their liking. Still, the important thing is the game content right now, not only for its mechanics, but for its atmosphere and its loyal community that are fascinating as well.
