Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon may not boast the most detailed graphics or the smoothest character animations, but it makes up for it with epic landscapes and masterful lighting. While it adheres to standard RPG conventions, it modernizes many of them in mechanically smart and—most importantly—fun ways. There's a deep skill tree, satisfying gear progression, and a wealth of playstyle options. Yet, the real standout is the storytelling: dark, gripping, and full of meaningful choices and unexpected twists. If there’s one thing that can be said for certain, it’s that Fall of Avalon is a superbly written adventure set in a hauntingly captivating world.

Fantastic action RPG with sophisticated systems, addictive gameplay, and an interesting setting. While Last Epoch somewhat suffers from issues stemming from its lower budget, it remains one of the best ARPGs you can currently play.

Precise remaster of PS Vita key title is a must for all fans of Gravity Rush regardless the final score. Others will probably notice the flaws due to the handheld origin of the title.

Elizabeth is a match for Booker's first episode, she even outdoes him with several intense scenes. Besides, if you belong to those that saw the shooting as a nuisance, you'll agree with this one's freer tempo along with an option to get around the shooting.

The Origami King sometimes drags on a bit, but at the same time it’s absolutely beautiful and inventive, perfect for experienced players and newbies alike.

Attila has much in common with his predecessor - both regarding their pros and cons. At the same time he is able to cause completely new feelings of bloodlust, melancholy and historical fascination. But above all Atilla is a very entertaining game with a good core and great extras so you are able to forgive its few issues.

A brilliant battle royale that in many ways copies its competitors but also brings great ideas of its own and doesn’t let you catch your breath for a second. Its connection with the regular Modern Warfare multiplayer mode is just the icing on the cake.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a beautiful time machine that will strike a chord with anyone who once spent hundreds of hours wandering the lands of Cyrodiil. With its refreshed visuals and a few smart tweaks, it reminds us why Oblivion was so special in the first place. But beneath the shiny surface still lurks a clunky, bug-ridden old-school RPG that might push newcomers away rather than draw them in. It’s a great nostalgic journey — just with too many stumbles to count as a triumphant return.

Similar setting and mechanics, but this is no Yakuza. Judgment is a brilliant sequel to the Japanese mob epic and brings many cool new features. You shouldn’t miss this - if only because of the main storyline and charismatic hero Yagami.

Highly addictive and entertaining races, as always, get over to Xbox One in this fifth installment, which is a bit leaner than the fourth one, but its beautiful car models along with its innovating controls are making up for it abundantly. It's only a shame by reason of its financing politics.

Compared to the last year installment the Skylanders Imaginators is a cautious step toward the inevitable change. But the game itself rather stagnates due to the repetition of the same tricks.

The new Hitman delivers what he promised. He's a worthy opponent to Corvo from Dishonored. There is no other stealth action game with such a fantastic presentation and a cinematographic approach. The gameplay is almost as good as in the previous instalments; however, it's a pity the story is weak, the ending is rushed, and the AI is not compelling.

B. J. Blazkowicz is back, and not even the previous victory of the Nazis can stop him. Wolfenstein: The New Order is showing there is not a problem you can solve with plenty of ammo and energy needed for futuristic guns. At the same time, the game is offering a story humiliating most of the genre fellow-travellers. Go for it, a mountain of Nazi corpses, and a lot of fun is waiting for you.

Pretty colours, smell of spice, they couldn’t dull my senses enough to not notice all of Venba’s imperfections. The characters aren’t very nice, the conversations tend to say nothing of substance, the story never reaches the required depths. But it’s short enough for it to be a cute visit of Indian culture and cuisine.

A solid expansion that will test even the hardest Doomguys around. It’s almost the same as the basic game, with one exception: It’s even harder. And, regretfully, the music isn’t as amazing as before.

An amazing story, great fighting sequences, clever puzzles and a brilliant Star Wars atmosphere. You just have to suffer through some technical problems and a surprisingly boring opening.

A wonderful simulator of a mercenary band, with so much content it’s going to last you for a long time. The story of your party is told through many small vignettes rather than a coherent story, but you can shape your marauders however you want. The turn-based combat is fun, so are the complex RPG systems. Dozens of hours of fun are guaranteed here.

Great mix of genres, which will test your skills more than any other game. Retro visuals suits the game perfectly; user interface and controls are almost flawless. It will die few times at start but once you become familiar with it you won´t quit until you open at least one more room.

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.

The core of the Frictional Games horror recipe has not changed; just a few ingredients disappeared from the concept and were replaced by other - equally good. Soma is still scary and exhausting, but at the same time it constrains to deeper reflection. Maybe because of this it won't please everybody, especially fans of the previous games from FG; on the other hand, it opens the gate to new players who are already tired of banal titles, but are still attracted to fear.

A highly competent return to the era when action games were fast, precise, and demanding without constantly reminding how hard they were. More importantly, it recalls a time when such games were still plentiful. Ninja Gaiden 4 is an excellent title for fans of the genre, though a few shortcomings may keep others at bay.

Beat 'em up game with sophisticated fight system and highly detailed arenas. It has its flaws and lack certain depth, but as a appetizer before Tekken 3DS it works very well.

A very complex village builder in which your villagers live their own lives. They can unfortunately be quite stupid and the game refuses to clearly communicate what’s happening, hamstrung by its own cluttered user interface. This is fun - but only for the patient among you.

Stasis knows exactly what it wants to be - a loving tribute to the classic point-and-click adventures – but despite to its impressive atmosphere the game offers more to genre veterans than to newcomers.

A very pleasant surprise. It’s simple, it could even be called primitive, but it’s also perfectly crafted, a journey through blood, screams and explosions. Legends of the industry could learn a thing or two from these four Canadians.

Quotation forthcoming.

A fantastic retro survival horror that, despite occasionally annoying inventory management, stands out as unique. Conscript boasts an atmosphere as thick as mustard gas, is brutal and grim, and brilliantly depicts the horrors of World War I. Alongside this, it is also an excellent game that should not be missed by fans of darker titles.

Difficult, but fair Rayman-like platformer could perhaps look nicer, but who cares, when it excels with unparalleled gameplay?
