    Mecha Break is ultimately a mixed bag. On one hand, it delivers excellent action gameplay, countless customization options for both your avatar and mechs, and brilliantly designed combat machines. On the other hand, it shoots itself in the foot by splitting core features across three unrelated game modes, offering abysmal navigation outside of battles, and aggressively pushing premium purchases.

    Eriksholm trades freedom for thoughtful storytelling, where each scene unfolds like a puzzle. What I enjoyed most was simply immersing myself in the beautiful early-20th-century Scandinavian setting, carried forward by the music, dialogue, and gameplay itself, proving that even bite-sized games with just a few mechanics can be pretty good when they do exactly what they’re supposed to.

    Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for the Switch 2 is a technically impressive port that delivers the full experience in a portable form without major compromises. Despite a few weaker spots in visuals and battery life, it offers a surprisingly smooth and visually striking ride. Thanks to smart adjustments, it plays excellently even in handheld mode. And at its core, it’s still one of the best RPGs of recent years, now simply available to take with you anywhere.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 isn’t quite the love letter its predecessor was. It struggles to capture the rebellious, nostalgic vibe of the originals, and a lot of content is either missing or implemented in a clunky way. On the flip side, the new maps rank among the best the series has ever seen, and the arcade-style flow of chaining together both insane and impossible tricks remains so entertaining that once you hit your first million-point combo, you might just stop caring about the rest.

    Mafia: The Old Country is a return to the roots, banking on a strong narrative, believable characters, and the breathtaking atmosphere of Sicily. While the core gameplay doesn’t break new ground and the action sequences occasionally lose momentum, its audiovisual execution, cinematic flair, and storytelling focus make it a standout experience. A solid gangster tale you shouldn’t miss.

    Dead Take isn’t a perfect horror game, but it’s a solid interactive drama full of ideas, atmosphere, and – most importantly – great acting. If you’re looking to experience a short, cinematically styled psychological thriller with a touch of experimental flair and escape-room gameplay mechanics, this is definitely the right place to be.

    Donkey Kong Bananza occasionally slips on its own banana peel, but thankfully has enough charm to recover with a smile. This inventive platformer leans into playfulness, destruction, and enjoyable co-op, supported by great physics, vibrant visuals, and a big heart, outshining most of its technical and design stumbles.

    A solid tribute to a classic, Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition mainly shines through improved visuals and audio. The new campaigns and scenarios are a welcome bonus, adding a massive amount of content. It’s a shame, though, that some quality-of-life improvements expected in modern strategy games are missing. Still, if you loved the original Stronghold, this nostalgic return is a well-executed one.

    Peak is a fun climbing arcade game that you can enjoy solo or with friends. Its gameplay loop isn’t meant to frustrate, just entertain – and it succeeds. The climbing itself, with its animations and sound design, is genuinely satisfying. However, the climbing gear could use a bit more attention, and overall, this is more of a casual, one-evening treat than a multiplayer staple you'll keep coming back to for months.

    Dune: Awakening feels like traversing sand dunes: sometimes you’re gliding down with a smile, other times you're grinding your way up a punishing slope. Excellent content pacing meets an increasingly demanding grind. Many of the game’s systems – from sandworms and personal shields to stillsuits, vehicles, and the harsh environment – will delight hardcore Dune fans, but concessions made for the online format chip away at the carefully built immersion. The world can be breathtaking, though its finer details often fall short. The opening hours are bafflingly weak, while what follows becomes dangerously addictive. The latest Dune game is, at its core, a story of contradictions.

    A lovingly polished remaster of one of the greatest games of all time. The combat may still feel clunky, but in a gripping sci-fi world with a storyline that hasn't aged a day, that's easy to forgive. For returning veterans, the enhanced support for multiplayer and modding offers even more reason to dive back in.

    Much like Void Shadows, Lex Imperialis is a well-crafted DLC that adds both narrative depth and new gameplay mechanics. The grimdark space enforcer is a solid addition to the already expansive story of Rogue Trader, and the best part is, you get to play as this uncompromising arbiter of the law yourself.

    Cyber Knights: Flashpoint is a smart game. Despite its abundance of systems, it manages not to overwhelm, gradually revealing the full breadth of its mechanics. To fully enjoy it, you'll need to look past the weaker graphics and the limited variety of enemies and security systems. The story relies heavily on imagination and reading, as many of the things mentioned are never actually shown. Still, it stands out as one of the most accomplished turn-based tactics games out there, with excellent execution of both stealth and combat.

    A well-made action game that could use a bit of trimming and polish here and there, but most of the time delivers solid entertainment. The PC version runs smoothly, so interested parties have no reason to hesitate.

    Death Stranding 2 is a confident sequel: Still strange and poetic, but now more accessible, coherent, and featuring significantly more enjoyable gameplay. Kojima’s signature style is omnipresent, yet this time it feels less self-indulgent. Technically excellent, the game also shows meaningful progress in combat and world design. It's not for everyone, but for its target audience, it’s an almost perfect experience.

    Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is more of a tutorial than a game. Instead of a fun introduction to the new console, it offers presentations, quizzes, and unnecessarily drawn-out content that feels like corporate e-learning. While the technical details are occasionally interesting and a few mini games briefly entertain, the whole experience fails in its most important role – to excite players about the new generation of Nintendo Switch. It should have been free. And it should have been shorter, snappier, and most of all, more fun.

    Mario Kart World is a triumphant return to arcade racing, masterfully blending accessibility with depth, chaos with control, and pure fun with a real challenge. The addition of an open world, new game modes, and stellar technical execution make this not only a worthy successor - but possibly the best Mario Kart ever.

    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.

    Remedy’s first foray into multiplayer action is a shaky step into the unknown. While its bizarre, paranormally-tinged world retains plenty of clever ideas, the action quickly turns bland and repetitive, hampered further by a lack of meaningful content. Fans of Control will enjoy the occasional nods and Easter eggs, but others may try it, have some fleeting fun, and move on just as fast.

    Spirit of the North 2 enchants with its visuals and dreamlike atmosphere, but loses both momentum and charm in its open-world design. The gameplay is repetitive, the puzzles are overly simple, and technical issues can break immersion. Still, fans of meditative experiences may find something to enjoy. Sometimes, though, less truly is more.

    Splitgate 2 is trying to stand on its own, though it’s still a bit unsteady on its feet. It currently lacks game modes, ranked matches, and a broader variety of maps. Even so, it already delivers a fun shooter experience where mowing down opponents at a fast pace and tactically using portals is genuinely satisfying. It’ll take some time for the game to find its full identity, but its core gameplay is already rock-solid.

    F1 25 is a worthy evolution that once again pushes the virtual Formula 1 experience forward. It strikes a fine balance between accessibility for newcomers and depth for veteran fans, offering an authentic sense of racing and team management. The driving model is more advanced, the My Team mode more robust, and the race atmosphere superb. While there are no major weaknesses, the lack of significant technical leaps, only slightly improved visuals, and lingering minor AI and presentation quirks make this a "better" rather than a "revolutionary" entry. Still, it firmly remains one of the best racing games on the market.

    A small, ugly, and straightforward game that lacks depth, a better physics model, varied game modes—and most importantly, players.

    Want crazy driving set in a beautifully stylized version of 1960s America? Crashing through houses that crumble into bricks? Taking on missions that embrace just the right level of madness? Then Deliver At All Costs can offer you a few days of fun. That is, if you can stomach its long-winded and dull story, as well as occasionally unbalanced difficulty. The world may be full of side activities, but most of them end up feeling pointless. A shame, really—because with its focus on destruction and driving, this could've been a truly great game.

    RoadCraft is the most accessible entry in the SnowRunner family, shifting the focus more toward gameplay than simulation. While it strips away some of the entertaining, yet realistic systems from its predecessors, it more than makes up for it with its own innovations. Unfortunately, the simulation lacks consistency, and the game's poor technical performance can easily rob you of hours of driving fun.

    World of Goo 2 takes the best elements of the legendary original and enriches them with a heap of fantastic new ideas. The sheer number of unique puzzles built around the seemingly simple concept of constructing physics-based structures from quirky goo balls is breathtaking, consistently pushing players to think outside the box and discover creative solutions. It's still a refreshingly inventive puzzle game—but at least on PC, it suffers from very problematic controls that can lead to considerable frustration.

    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.

    Elden Ring: Nightreign is a bold experiment that successfully combines addictive roguelite gameplay with the best of Souls – an excellent combat system and a constant sense of challenge. The game excels in multiplayer, where it delivers strong moments of cooperation, effective party roles and constant action without dead spots. On the other hand, it hits its limits in the single-player game – frustration from lost runs, lack of communication options and some lackluster boss fights prevent it from being a full-fledged experience on the level of the main game. Nightreign is ideal for experienced Elden Ring players who want a good dose of combat and experimentation with builds. However, it will probably discourage newcomers.

    A pleasant expansion that fits seamlessly into the world of excellent medieval RPG. The story, with a touch of mysticism, explores themes of mental struggle, art, and the power of friendship. It shines especially in its second half through a personal narrative with emotional undertones and two memorable moments. In terms of gameplay, it suffers somewhat from an overreliance on fetch quests and more traditional objectives, but overall, it offers several more enjoyable hours spent wandering through the Liberec and Central Bohemian regions.

    Blue Prince is a unique blend of genres and inspirations, offering exceptional puzzle gameplay and dozens of hours of investigation and deduction. The game does not provide answers directly, you need to uncover them yourself through observation, logic, and ideally a stack of handwritten notes. Without those, you may get lost unless you have an excellent memory. For patient players, this is one of the best puzzle adventures in decades. Minor flaws are easily outweighed by the satisfaction of discovery. If you dislike getting lost, find note-taking absurd, and expect instant clarity, this is definitely not the game for you.
