A fast and furious and full of fun arcade racing game that's in many regards and without a sweat crushing its competition - DiRT Showdown including.

Dead Space series has evolved and changed as well as its main protagonist. In Dead Space 3 there is no longer that lone and frightened engineer called Issac, armed with just a harmless cutter. This time he clears his way through darkness, frost, mutants along with Unitologists' limbs, with elegance of a world saviour expert. Dead Space 3 offers a different experience than its predecessors, which is not detrimental, on the contrary. Do not let its otherness discourage you.

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.

You can find a flaw or two in here, but that is just a smirch on the game's face that is suprisingly addicting, and whose free-to-play model is effectively helping to get to more audience – from hardcore maniacs up to their mummies.

In its heart it's an easy, pleasantly non-revolutionary, intense and a hell of a lot of fun shooter video game with western spice that is plentiful.

It looks and sounds amazing, the driving is wonderful, but there are so many things still missing - namely enough content, playable multiplayer and technical polish.

Pavilion is a platform game in which, wonder of wonders, you do not control the main character. Absurd basis maybe, but the result is a very pleasant and original game that surpasses all genre boundaries. The charming design and a relaxing atmosphere make it almost a work of art. It just needs more content to be perfect.

A DLC surprise for Battlefield 3. The Iranian environment devastated by an earthquake has created an excellent map pack along with an entertaining new mode and a nicely inventive crossbow. This DLC proves that Battlefield 3 has still things to offer, it is not depleted yet.

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.

Sea of Solitude plays with your emotions. It’s not a brilliant game, but that’s not really the point. This is all about the story, all about the introspection. And those work perfectly.

A brilliant game that’s all about conversations. You get stuck in a time loop which sounds potentially frustrating but actually isn’t because you don’t have to repeat yourself in any way. It’s just a shame that the game’s a bit ugly and the puzzles a bit trivial.

A well-crafted post-apocalyptic strategy that initially feels a bit clunky, but over time reveals its stronger aspects. Once it hits its stride, the odd menus and slow start become forgivable.

Etherborn is a dreamy trip of a body in search of its voice across beautifully crafted levels, supported by a soundtrack that is simply flawless. Plus you must solve some puzzles that toy with gravity. And that’s it - but honestly, this game doesn’t need anything else.

A very solid tactical RPG. Its main problem is that it’s overly reliant on chance and might be a tad too difficult for novice players. But if you enjoy clever turn-based battles, this sci-fi has plenty of those to offer.

Although the old dog didn’t learn many new tricks, at least not in campaign, the old dog is still a determined fighter who can put up a fight. Rock-solid campaign can be compared to the previous episodes without any shame, plus there is a great multiplayer mode - especially Horde 3.0 mode, in which you can spend dozens of hours and still experience something new.

You won’t find a better game about archaeology, and you’ll be hard-pressed to unearth two protagonists with more chemistry. The story is excellent, save maybe the very end. The rivers are waiting for you, as is the ancient language!

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 is a surprisingly well done, fun racing game, full of thrill and fast toy cars. It’s highly addictive, the car designs are adequately crazy and there’s a robust editor to satisfy your creativity.

Great, entertaining hack 'n' slash that could use some trimming and refining of certain design elements. However, its fun combat system and a slew of creatively grotesque enemies outweigh the studio's beginner mistakes.

FIFA 22 looks amazing on next-gen hardware which was to be expected. What was not to be expected is the brilliant gameplay. It still isn’t a full-blown simulation, of course, but it’s way more tactical and fun than before, including the (in)famous Ultimate Team. The only thing that truly suffers is the neglected Career Mode.

A commendable return to form for a legendary brand. Metroid Dread does everything well but never truly excels.

Take on Helicopters will entertain all of you thinking that DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark simulator is too complicated or that Apache Air Assault is too arcade-oriented and militarily specialized. Take on Helicopters stands in the middle bringing half-done campaign and not so many machines, but on the other hand we can't leave out its future evolvement that now lies in the hands of the skilled community.

Blazing Chrome is a great platformer - but a very difficult one. It’s a delight for all fans of Contra or Metal Slug or, more generally, for anyone looking for a wonderfully punishing time.

An action RPG from the zombie-filled island that pleases by its great gameplay and surprises in many ways – like in a fine cooperation mode. The game suffers with some faults, but you can find those faults in de facto every sandbox game out there knowing that those faults have almost none eventual impact for your experience.

A cyberpunk life sim, as rough as it is emotional. Citizen Sleeper is all about the story (which is great), not so much the gameplay elements (which are very simple).

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.

Do you have four friends and are you not afraid to spend a bit of cash? Try GTFO. It’s an exceptionally good horror action game that borrows a lot of the best stuff from other, similar experiences. It may not be perfect but it sure as hell is addictive.

A great action game that innovates the “musou” genre and might be a good point of entry for otherwise disinterested newcomers. And if you liked Fire Emblem: Three Houses, this is definitely something for you.
