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.

Mandragora successfully blends metroidvania and soulslike elements, offering meaningful character progression and excellent dialogue filled with bizarre characters. It’s wrapped in a striking dark fantasy aesthetic and backed by a strong soundtrack. However, the experience stumbles in frustrating platforming sections where a single mistake can mean death, especially during repeated treks to boss fights. The main story also never rises above a basic and predictable premise. It’s not a masterpiece, but still a very solid soulslike that will keep you entertained for many evenings, even if it occasionally drives you mad.

At its core, this is a fairly enjoyable metroidvania with solid level design and attractive environments — but it's brought to its knees by an unnecessarily overcomplicated gameplay system, bland combat, and technical shortcomings. The style of humor here also won’t be to everyone’s taste.

Days Gone Remastered is the perfect opportunity to revisit a title that was unfairly overlooked at launch. With improved optimization, smooth performance, and subtle tweaks, the game comes closer to fulfilling its original ambition — to deliver a powerful experience in an open, post-apocalyptic world. While it doesn't always hit the mark, it remains a very solid game. Even if you've already ridden through Oregon once, the remaster brings enough improvements to justify a second trip.

Doom: The Dark Ages delivers fantastic action and an excellent arsenal, but all attempts at story, a more open structure, and superficially modern filler feel more like a forced detour that actively prevents the game from becoming the pinnacle of the series.

An expansion that fully understands things work differently on the steppe than they do in settled societies. Crusader Kings 3 transforms almost beyond recognition when you're playing as chief of nomadic tribes. You can finally experience the rise of Genghis Khan in a way that's both historically authentic and a lot more fun. If every DLC were like this, the beloved feudal strategy game would be a much wilder ride.

Forever Skies takes you on a breathtaking journey above a ravaged Earth and down to its toxic surface. Its stunning visuals, paired with an excellent soundtrack, make for a captivating experience. Building your airborne base is both engaging and visually satisfying — and flying it is a real treat. Unfortunately, the story falls a bit flat, and the gameplay loop starts to feel repetitive too soon. The game could really benefit from more inventive mechanics and a greater variety of enemies. Still, it's an enjoyable title that just doesn’t quite live up to the full potential it clearly had.

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.

Forza Horizon 5 is a content-packed racing game with a refined driving model — the kind of experience that has been sorely lacking on PlayStation 5 in the long run. Its long-awaited arrival is therefore more than welcome. That said, be prepared: the sheer volume of content can feel overwhelming at first, the strong focus on multiplayer might not be to everyone’s taste, and the way the game throws cars at you feels like a slot machine in overdrive. But that’s also something you can take advantage of — enjoying a fleet of spectacular machines without grinding for in-game credits for dozens of hours. Immediate and ultimately high-quality fun is guaranteed.

A unique strategy that pleasantly breaks the conventional tower defense genre, where instead of pre-built structures, you create a wall against the fog with your own creativity. The surprisingly well-executed campaign keeps up the pace until the very end. It's a pity, however, that the same attention given to the wall-building mechanics wasn't extended to the construction of other buildings or the variety of units. Exploring the map is also fun, as you must build platforms, stairs, and bridges to reach harder-to-access areas.

Wanderstop captivates with its masterfully written dialogues, which, beneath their absurdity, reveal common struggles that everyone can relate to. The excellent storytelling is complemented by a relaxing soundtrack and stunning visuals. When indie scene stars come together, something truly special is born.

Pax Augusta is an ambitious solo project that lets you build historically accurate cities, offering a creative and educational experience. It has great ideas and can be quite relaxing. Unfortunately, it struggles with some basic user-friendliness issues and is currently plagued by too many technical flaws to be fully playable, where you might easily find yourself stuck in an endless loading loop or encountering other bugs that ruin your progress.

A throwback to the kind of real-time strategy games rarely made anymore, Tempest Rising nails the basics with explosive flair. While the story feels a bit formulaic and the limited choice of just two factions can grow repetitive, the core gameplay hits as hard as a heavy tank shell. Add in a striking visual style and a killer soundtrack, and you’ve got a must-play for any strategy fan who’s been craving the glory days of classic RTS.

Solid, honest, and fun – but ultimately too straightforward for its own good, Commandos: Origins neither disgraces the series nor breathes new life into it. It sticks rigidly to the genre’s old-school roots without really trying to modernize or innovate. That nostalgic conservatism isn’t exactly a flaw, but it does mean the game fails to leave a lasting impression. You’ll have a good time sneaking through WWII battlefields, but chances are, you’ll forget the mission as soon as it’s over.

A well-crafted soulslike that doesn’t reinvent the genre, but excels where it counts. The combat is sharp, visceral, and deeply satisfying, offering a solid challenge without feeling unfair. Boss fights are a definite highlight, with memorable design and mechanics. Unfortunately, the overall experience is held back by a weak story, uninspired level design, and rather monotonous environments. Still, for fans of the genre, it’s a gritty and rewarding adventure that hits most of the right notes.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a breathtaking debut that masterfully weaves a multi-layered narrative, striking visual style, exceptional soundtrack, and one of the most enjoyable combat systems in recent years. It dares to explore weighty themes without unnecessary handholding, and thanks to perfectly written characters and constantly evolving gameplay, it holds your attention from start to finish. A phenomenal piece that proves artistic ambition doesn't have to come at the cost of great gameplay.

A playful, clever, and incredibly compelling wizard school management sim, Mind Over Magic lets you lovingly watch over your students as they go about their daily activities while the game’s mechanics unfold. The only slight blemish is the somewhat repetitive combat. The real danger? It’s highly addictive—you might find yourself glued to the screen for hours on end.

Microtopia lets you observe a tiny colony of robotic ants through a microscope and turn them into a self-sustaining society—whether built on chaos or geometric precision. The real challenge lies in logistics, as you must design an efficient system that integrates the ever-dying workers into an endless cycle of evolution and labor. This twist on the automation genre succeeds because the smaller scale brings a much greater sense of responsibility for your hundreds of ants.

A well-designed, realistic, and enjoyable golf simulation, unfortunately held back by a dull career mode, a strange RPG system, and aggressive microtransactions.
