    Elden Ring Nightreign
    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.

    Final Fantasy XIII-2
    A system-enhanced sequel of by many the controversial thirteenth installment is like a sad song. Its form wins clearly over its content that has been "improved" to the utter dullness. Buy only in the case you don't care about a story nor about a fine-tuned combat system that would offer you an appropriate challenge.

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide
    Rising Tide "Civ" add-on offers the great maritime scenery and new gaming opportunities. Look forward to the new power challenges, more realistic political relations and also a lot of new units and buildings. Drastically modified diplomacy might not be to everyone's taste though.

    Wanderstop
    Wanderstop captivates with its masterfully written dialogues, which, beneath their absurdity, reveal common struggles that everyone can relate to. The excellent storytelling is complemented by a relaxing soundtrack and stunning visuals. When indie scene stars come together, something truly special is born.

    RAGE
    id Software maybe wished to create their own chef d'œuvre, but they missed it. However, apart from the wasted potential, they created a game they don't need to be ashamed of; nor do the gamers that are willing to play it.

    Resident Evil 3
    The remake of Resident Evil 3 isn’t a very good survival horror - it actually works much better as a story-driven zombie shooter. The strong female protagonist is maybe too strong, at least as far as the bland bad guy is concerned.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment delivers a stylish, action-packed spectacle that proves even a Zelda spin-off can offer a full-fledged experience. Koei Tecmo successfully combines massive battles, a surprisingly strong narrative, and well-crafted gameplay systems into a game that rewards every button press with a rush of dopamine. While some repetition inevitably sets in and the base difficulty could be higher, it remains an entertaining and technically polished title that will satisfy both Zelda fans and lovers of pure, unfiltered action.

    Alienation

    Trine 2: Goblin Menace
    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.

    The Light Brigade
    The Light Brigade is a brilliant shooter that should pique the interest of every VR enthusiast. It’s pretty long, complex, adequately priced, it boasts a great physics system and weapon mechanics. It’s not exactly beautiful, however, and its prolonged loading times can be annoying.

    Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel
    Jotunnslayer is, first and foremost, perhaps the most visually striking Vampire Survivors clone, set against an appealing Nordic backdrop. Unfortunately, the game as a whole lacks the polish it deserves. Individual abilities are so powerful that they rarely demand strategic thought. Still, the title guides players through worlds that differ mechanically and feature engaging boss encounters. Once these worlds are completed, however, the experience loses momentum, as the endless mode barely functions.

    Expeditions: A MudRunner Game
    Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is and isn't a new game. Under the hood beats the heart of the good old SnowRunner, but it is more accessible, offering a different experience not only due to a distinct theme but also because of smoother gameplay without the deep water challenges. However, the excessive recycling of old materials, the untapped potential of certain elements, and a host of issues affecting the experience cannot be ignored. It could have turned out better, but it's certainly not a disaster. Fans of simulations, large tires, constant search for the best route, and overcoming challenges will find enjoyment here.

    Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
    The return of a classic builds its foundations not only on nostalgia, but works fine also on the ground.

    Anger Foot
    Anger Foot can be unnecessarily frustrating at times, occasionally too vulgar or awkward, yet it remains incredibly fun and adrenaline-packed in most moments. The game excels with its high-octane action, an excellent soundtrack, and cleverly designed levels that make revisiting them to complete challenges and unlock new shoes a joy. However, it's essential to pace yourself, or the game might wear you down before you kick the final boss out of their lair.

    Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition
    Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition, with its improved audiovisual presentation and a handful of new content, successfully reminds us why this action-adventure became a cult classic.

    Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
    A pseudo-medieval multiplayer action game that's definitely above-average. However, it's pretty middle-of-the-road, it's something between an instant mild entertainment and a challenge for hardcore gamers.

    King's Quest Chapter 3: Once Upon a Climb
    Graham is back in full strength and brings us two to three hours of superb adventure fun. Witty moments appear along with moments that chime many inner strings. The result is a fantastic episode.

    Sunless Sea - Zubmariner
    An add-on for an excellent game, which will again nail you to the chair with its “Jules Verne-like” mood, phenomenal work with language and narrative. On the other hand, fighting is not so convincing.

    EVERYTHING
    Everything is an impressive, extensive and all-embracing ... interactive application at the first place. The game occupies the second place. Let yourself drift on the waves of science and philosophy and try to create an unparalleled world. However, it is not entirely guaranteed that you will enjoy it.

    Pilgrims
    Pilgrims are a most pleasant hike through a world full of Czech fairy-tales and humor that you’d struggle to find anywhere else. They’re very short, but you’re going to have fun the whole way. And you’ll leave your computer smiling.

    Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
    Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a decent game, but it doesn't stand out in any particular way, and may fall victim to the curse of titles from the beginning of the year. The potential of the theme could have been better explored, and once again, the action in Don't Nod's own fashion seems unnecessary and rushed.

    The Wonderful 101
    A truly hardcore, and original arcade fighting game that forgives not a slightest mistake, and it doesn't even bother with any tutorial. Still, the game's incredibly entertaining, and it will amaze you by a number of the game weapons' tactics and combinations, and its interesting control system. A pity the game's camera view doesn't work the way you would like to, but you'll manage.

    Mario Golf: World Tour
    It's gamesome, it's lightsome, and it's enjoyable even for those ignorant of golf. Mario Golf: World Tour won't surprise you at all but its gameplay is very lovely, it has a power to make you smile, and it will engage you for ages. On condition that Nintendo is going to debug its multiplayer servers.

    NHL 16
    After the last year slight disappointment you can enjoy a real hockey experience. NHL 16 doesn’t miss an excellent playability, good presentation, all popular modes with minor improvements and mascots.

    A Way Out
    A Way Out is not difficult in its gaming principles, but in communicating and collaborating with other people. The ways of cooperation are very different and keep you astonished and in tension, as does the story. In short, if you are looking for a great cooperative game, you have to start here.

    Dragon's Dogma
    A fair RPG that combines Japanese and European tradition, and that offers a full experience for tens or even hundreds of hours of gameplay. As Dark Souls it gives you nothing for free, as Skyrim it offers a great living world with its own rules. The game adds adrenaline fights along with its unique sidekick system, aiming this way for the best role-playing game title of the year.

    Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream
    Eriksholm trades freedom for thoughtful storytelling, where each scene unfolds like a puzzle. What I enjoyed most was simply immersing myself in the beautiful early-20th-century Scandinavian setting, carried forward by the music, dialogue, and gameplay itself, proving that even bite-sized games with just a few mechanics can be pretty good when they do exactly what they’re supposed to.

    El Paso, Elsewhere
    El Paso, Elsewhere will be a nostalgic journey for many, reminiscent of a time when action games were refreshingly straightforward. Its unique noir-supernatural setting and action sequences filled with slow-motion and flying bullets are engaging. The story keeps you glued to the screen, but the game struggles with a lack of variety. Just a pity that the artificial intelligence leaves much to be desired in the intelligence department.

    Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
    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.

    Hand of Fate
    An interesting blend of card and action games, which is definitely worth attention. To be a top game it needs to get rid of a slow start, improve the card visuals and remove a few small problems during fights.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
    Modern Warfare 3 does not crown one dramatic story with pride. A campaign is more or less a relict of an old engine and design flaws mainly that are successfully selling as a trademark. Its ranking is saved once again by its multiplayer that brings just a single style of gameplay. However, it does its job and entertains those gamers, who are fine with it.

    Avernum 2: Crystal Souls
    Avernum 2: Crystal Souls is an adventure which pays tribute to the old classics by its enormous content. Small budget and a lack of resources are unfortunately clearly visible. Old-school gamers who remember the Exile II will enjoy this one anyway.

    The King's Dilemma: Chronicles
    I hoped to experience the feeling of ruling a fantasy kingdom. Instead, I got a confused, arbitrary simulator of moving pips on a scale. It’s well written, granted, and it certainly looks pretty, but its core mechanics just aren’t well thought out and implemented.

    RoadCraft
    RoadCraft is the most accessible entry in the SnowRunner family, shifting the focus more toward gameplay than simulation. While it strips away some of the entertaining, yet realistic systems from its predecessors, it more than makes up for it with its own innovations. Unfortunately, the simulation lacks consistency, and the game's poor technical performance can easily rob you of hours of driving fun.

    Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
    A pleasant surprise for every gamer with any platform that wishes to try out entertaining arcade gameplay in Mario Kart fashion. There's nothing to criticize, just the framerate drops in multiplayer. Although this is an arcade classic, it is excellently worked out. All thumbs up.

    Inkulinati
    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.
