Patrick’s Parabox may not be the most original of video games but the way it borrows ideas and blends them together is simply exceptional. Its paradoxical puzzles will mangle your brain, the concept of applied infinity will stun you. Do you like Baba Is You? If so, play this and thank us later.

A slight improvement of the current engine again makes an excellent virtual football game out of FIFA 14, putting at the game's forefront its atmosphere, accessibility, and wide gameplay variability, especially in its multiplayer game.

Jusant is a meditative gem that allows you to savor both the tranquility and the beauty of the surroundings, as well as the adrenaline rush of scaling high cliffs. It captivates with its beauty, mystery, and exploration, instilling an unwavering desire to climb higher until the very last ledge. It's just a shame that the metaphorical summit didn't reach the lofty heights that may have seemed possible through the misty clouds.

Trine 2 is a colourful, an original and in every way better than the very best game. This title is almost without any flaw, apart from the respecialization with no punishment, that everyone of all ages can enjoy it.

The blue hedgehog returns in full force with a hefty stack of aces up its sleeve. A generous selection of tracks, seamless world-to-world transitions mid-race, an energetic soundtrack, and a roster of familiar faces make for a highly enjoyable casual racing experience, while a solid pool of mechanics ensures that the competitive online component more than holds its own. With entertaining on-track boosts and weapons, plus the option to tailor driving style to personal preference, the result ranks among the best arcade racers available today, regardless of prior affinity for Sonic as a franchise.

The final episode of The Wolf Among Us failed to completely fulfill the high expectations, and it looks half-heartedly even though it gets away with it to some extent. It completes otherwise neat first adventure series that rape gracefully all memories of your fabulous childhood.

Alba wants you to find happiness in something larger than yourself. But instead of actually teaching you anything about protecting the environment, it “only” succeeds in being an enjoyable adventure.

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.

Super Mario RPG provides an excellent way to introduce a remarkable classic to a modern audience. Unfortunately, it doesn't go the extra mile and, in its effort to be as 1:1 as possible, occasionally feels a bit dated. However, turn-based battles with rhythmic elements remain entertaining, and the new graphical touches suit the most famous plumber and his companions well.

A surprisingly robust culmination of a phase in the famous football series. Football Manager is gearing up for significant changes next year, but this year it has already delivered an excellent experience that addresses some of the most pressing issues. Coaching your own team on the green pitch is once again fantastic.

Perfect strategy, suitable either for demanding old school turn-based strategy lovers, or for RTS fans spoiled by the user-friendly controls. A bit limited selection of scenarios and not-so-good artillery controlling are the only flaws spoiling the great game.

Oh, the joy of exploring this beautiful world. Oh, the clever combat, the great voice acting, the compelling story. This is one of the best RPGs of the year. And it’s almost beyond comprehension that you can get it for free.

Devil May Cry was quirky, stylish and devilishly fun restart of the series, which of course does not change with its next-generation version. Older models and textures feel a little out of place on the PS4 and Xbox One, but it’s more than compensated for by new modes and especially by stable 60 frames per second. This game is just joy to play! Again and again.

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.

An awesome spiritual successor to old Castlevanias. The story is the weakest point, true, but everything else is splendid, especially the level design and the sheer amount of creative ideas. If you want a great action RPG platformer, you’ve got one right here.

Ghost of Tsushima isn’t very original gameplay-wise and its open world feels a bit tired, but the sheer quality of content, the stylish action, the fantastic sound design and the beautiful environment make this a must-play.

An excellent mod commercially distributed for the Mount & Blade: Warband game is brutal and full of vivid wars of the Napoleonic era. All of you tacticians, strategists, artillerists and even sharpshooters, you must rejoice because it's a great gaming piece that's been obviously made by people, who love it, understand it and who know its players.

Although full of kitsch, this excellent game uses it the way you will assume is one of its virtues. The game looks splendid, its gameplay is even better, and although the game enjoys killing your wrist, none of you should miss it.

Become a detective, who's using obstacles on his way as launching pads to his success. Gunpoint is a dope to the action-stealth genre with its entirely new and unorthodox gameplay. The only thing spoiling the overall experience is that the game is short.

The new Call of Duty has hit the mark. The campaign is longer, with varied missions that often bring more freedom and multiple ways to tackle objectives. Unfortunately, the story stumbles somewhat with unnecessary hallucination sequences and other distracting elements. The multiplayer may not have a ton of new features, but it remains a finely-tuned, time-tested classic, this year enhanced by fresh movement mechanics that feel invigorating. Zombie mode also makes a return, ensuring engaging gameplay for long nights. This entry benefited from an extended development cycle—just don’t expect anything beyond what it is: another Call of Duty.

Anno 2070 is a pleasantly exceptional direction of the series. In spite of the fact that it changes the style drastically, it doesn't redo the well-known mechanics; it tunes them up to perfection. Newcomers might only be discouraged by its higher difficulty, but believe me when I say it's worth it.

This is a huge surprise. A “free game” that’s actually better than many of those you have to pay for - and also the best showcase of the capabilities of the DualSense controller which has the potential to change how we experience video games.

At a glance a cute and charming little platformer that will eventually become with your insight one of the most challenging and deepest contemporary platform games. A great remake that's annoying only because of its occasional troubles with controls and because of its complicated multiplayer game.

An excellent example how to adapt a major series to a mobile platform. Pocket-sized Lara excels with turn-based gameplay, puzzles and visuals. Add a free expansion and you have a game you can recommend even to players not familiar with Tomb Raider series.

Persona Strikers is a very familiar game - and yet manages to keep itself fresh with new stuff. Some will hate it, some will love it, but the main thing works as great as always - the story and the characters within it.

The Nordic mythology mixed with the exploration into the human insanity provides the basis for a dark, stirring mood. The game is based on fear, and anxiety exploration and the stunning main character, respectively the excellent performance of the lead actress. The combat system sometimes cannot keep the pace, but the rest of the game is an unconventional joy that is definitely worth buying.

A brilliant fantasy turn-based strategy which borrows the best parts from those who came before. You’re going to manage cities in the vein of Civilization, fight battles reminiscent of Heroes of Might and Magic, but mainly you’re going to lead your people and shape them through magical evolution, resulting in a myriad combinations and playstyles. This is what a fun, addictive strategy game looks like.
