Nioh 3 is not without flaws: It could be more expansive, offer a wider variety of weapons, and feature a more diverse bestiary. Even so, it stands as the most entertaining soulslike since Elden Ring. The ability to switch between samurai and ninja adds new depth to combat, while the option to tailor a fighting style to personal preference works exceptionally well. The thoughtfully designed open world encourages exploration without compromising the game’s tough but fair difficulty. For fans of the series and the genre alike, it represents a clear high point of the trilogy.

Pikmin cannot reach the heights of Mario or Zelda, but this truly original, creative and inventive game still plays the best second fiddle around.

A well-executed sci-fi psychological thriller that explores how a single decision can alter the course of your life. Over time, dialogue becomes the main gameplay focus, though the base management system is also solid. The weakest aspect lies in the planetary traversal, which feels too restricted. Still, it’s a powerful and engaging experience, with branching storylines that make it worth revisiting more than once.

An absolutely fantastic RPG platformer that is old-fashioned in the one thing only - it won't give you anything for free, and it keeps you gaming till your death. This is not for the one-hit wonderers. There are few of this kind of games, of this kind of fun. Rogue Legacy is a fantasy miracle made of pixels.

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.

Echo Point Nova lets you play by your own rules in its open world. It surprises with an excellent sound design, fluid movement, enjoyable gunplay, and how seamlessly all these elements come together without wasting your time. It never loses momentum and entertains like few other shooters, thanks to the combination of seemingly disparate features that create a unique and engaging mix.

Brave New World brings a lot of new content along with new mechanics that do not, however, change or improve its gameplay. All's just chewed up. It's the same thing as with some immobile wrack, out of which you would try to make a movable cool car by just changing its transmission, respraying it with bee stripes, or by connecting a trailer to it. It just won't do. BNW is no BMW, even though it's not entirely its fault.

And you don´t need to be Bear Grylls to enjoy fully this fierce struggle for survival in the shadow of the Himalayas.

The perfect specimen of its genre and its current undisputed king. Confident, expertly designed, beautiful and without weak points - and it implements elements of other genres in order to advance its own.

Antihero is pretending to be a board game, but it has nothing to offer to board game players. It's flat, scared of depth and gives no room for your own ideas in never-changing battles. You can find a lot of better digital board games on the market. But if you are not interested in table games and you are looking for something slightly different, Antihero has it.

At its core, it's still absolutely amazing, now a bit more beautiful and smoother game.

This temporally unique game adds something new with your every death and moves the story forward beautifully. The environments are breathtaking, the music will soothe you. This is the perfect game for those of you who are, above all, curious.
