Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One is the best detective game from Frogwares. It blends the open world of The Sinking City and an emotional story of a young genius and adds the beautiful environment of the city of Cordona. My only wish for next time? Get rid of the combat.

The fourth generation of Pokémon brings several truly important upgrades and changes, but it just as often stands still, stuck in the past.

The final score is three points, one for each of the brilliant games hidden underneath this pile of garbage.

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.

t’s broken, it’s stripped of content, it’s just plain boring. The worst Battlefield of the modern era.

Not a game without its faults but what it needs to be doing, it does very well - namely the adrenaline-filled, headless ride down the hill.

The new Forza Horizon is here, but the word "new" must be handled with care. For the most part, the fifth part is the same as the fourth. The content has just swelled in all aspects, the career has deepened its storytelling and fans of multiplayer and shared experiences have even more options to get rid of it. This is the fullest part ever with the potential to entertain you for years to come, and since the four are among the best racing games of all time, its slight evolution can't be any different.

A rich, original-Fallout-inspired RPG with a brilliant story. You can play it in any way you want and it’s the good kind of gaming freedom. But the sound design could have been so much better.

Gas Station Simulator has its flaws and in the end just isn’t deep enough to keep you interested for long. But if you like your simulators, you’ll get your 10 hours of fun out of it.

A truly huge game that adds more and more content without really fundamentally changing anything. It’s not a very good shooter but it will successfully distract you with countless relatively fun activities.

A visual novel of two halves - a bland, awkward, ordinary storyline and boring action sequences. This is as forgettable as they come.

The Siege of Paris means more of the same for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, with the addition of more stealth passages akin to those in older instalments. The content itself is repetitive, however, and overall just not very interesting.

This game is low budget, sure, but that doesn’t hold it back in the slightest. It’s a very good card game, especially attractive for Eastern European players due to the captivating way in which it deals with Slavic mythology.

Psychonauts 2 managed to restore my faith in the genre of 3D platformers. This is a creative volcano spewing ideas left and right - it can make you laugh, it can make you cry, it can make you think. And it will definitely make you have fun.

Great idea woefully executed. The story, gripping at first, soon devolves into frustrating repetition. The characters just aren’t interesting enough and the A-list actors offer what might just be the blandest performances of their careers. Spend your twelve minutes elsewhere.

This legend shows that it’s still standing strong even in the year 2021. A necessary piece of gaming education for every shooter fan.

This next-door neighbour of Sid Meier’s Civilization is mostly very well done and always beautiful. It can, however, also be pretty dull and some design choices don’t work as well as they should - including the vaunted culture morphing.

Neo: The World Ends with You is a traditionally non-traditional JRPG. At first glance, you could mistake it for a brainless button smasher but as you’ll soon find out, there’s a great deal of thinking to be done. A very strange game full of very strange charm.

King’s Bounty 2 offers solid battles of fantasy armies that can too often slide into frustration and inconsistency. Its world is beautiful but completely devoid of life and story. And the controls are simply awful.

A very good action JRPG. Very traditional, very spectacular, well done, a feast for eyes and ears, fun and addictive. It’s not, however, innovative in any way.

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.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 is, more than anything else, a light remaster of the previous instalment. It’s really pretty and its minigames are fun, but if you’re looking for anything significantly new, you’ll be disappointed. If you own CMS2018 with all its DLCs, there’s little reason to switch to the new one.

A modern narrative adventure game with an amazingly lovable heroine and plenty of strong scenes. But it’s also a tad too ambitious in scope. It looks great, sounds great and its story holds together for the most part, so in the end, you should probably play it. Just not on consoles!

Lost Judgment isn’t some cheap knockoff. On the contrary - it really smartly expands on the story of Yagami the ex-lawyer and uses a beautiful Yokohama to its full potential. It’s full of action set-pieces and typical Japanese humour. The only downside? Its mechanics are a bit too familiar.

A beautiful, pleasant adventure game, designed very well, if not very originally. This lack of invention, in addition to a story that’s just not too interesting, keeps Kena from truly shining, but it’s still well worth your time.

Lost in Random feels just like a hand full of wonderful cards – and then some of them don’t work the way you’d expect. The art style is a triumph, as are the characters and the story setting. This would be a proper jewel - if only it wasn’t for the combat system which is, to put it plainly, just too random.

Diablo II: Resurrected brings the legend back in some style, with all the old joys and all the old pains as well. This 20-year-old holy relic is, in some respects, far surpassed by its successors and its systems sometimes grind to a halt, but the magic is still here, as strong as ever.

This action RPG boasts a simple yet quite bearable combat system and beautiful environments. But the level design is nothing short of a tragedy and so are the preposterously long loading screens.
