A brutal and explosive spectacle that serves as a testament to everything that makes Warhammer great. The action never lets up, the game looks and sounds fantastic, and watching hundreds of Tyranids swarm never gets old. The excellent multiplayer, with fun progression and a rich character editor, is the cherry on top of this epic sci-fi blockbuster.

A beautiful action game that mostly entertains royally but sometimes spoils the experience with unpolished design or overly simplistic mechanics.

An excellent 3D platformer for all ages, especially those with some PlayStation experience. The levels overflow with playful details, and its precise controls take full advantage of the DualSense controller. While it occasionally repeats certain elements a bit too much, the rich content packed with references to gaming classics makes it arguably the best 3D platformer on the PS5.

A solid space strategy that borrows heavily from major 4X turn-based games, Sins of a Solar Empire II makes it clear that its core focus is on action and conquest, with diplomacy and trading taking a backseat. The brilliant idea of simulating real planetary orbits, which dynamically alters the map, adds depth, though it can't entirely hide the unbalanced pacing and lackluster visual style.

Nobody Wants to Die is a beautiful game where an interesting world and well-crafted script clash with gameplay that holds your hand too much and offers virtually no challenge. However, if the story and atmosphere are the main focus, this charmingly short piece might just strike the right chord.

Anger Foot can be unnecessarily frustrating at times, occasionally too vulgar or awkward, yet it remains incredibly fun and adrenaline-packed in most moments. The game excels with its high-octane action, an excellent soundtrack, and cleverly designed levels that make revisiting them to complete challenges and unlock new shoes a joy. However, it's essential to pace yourself, or the game might wear you down before you kick the final boss out of their lair.

A fantastic remake of a great strategy game where the gods themselves settle the score. Age of Mythology: Retold looks amazing, introduces plenty of new features that make the game more enjoyable than ever, and most importantly, proves that some games truly never age.

Star Wars Outlaws masterfully utilizes its license and space western atmosphere, yet the variety of activities quickly falls into the familiar pattern of Ubisoft's open-world games. This repetition overshadows the inventive teamwork between Kay and Nix, as well as the brilliant Sabacc card game.

Combining survival elements with looter shooter and MMORPG mechanics, Once Human takes the best from these genres to create an entertaining and functional mix. While not flawless, it captivates with its bizarre world, monster design, and gunplay. The effectiveness of the seasonal system remains to be seen, but it shows promising potential to become a multiplayer staple.

SteamWorld Heist II is a sequel done right. It retains the best aspects of its predecessor—turn-based combat with precise aiming and trick shots—transports it to an appealing pirate setting, wraps it in a meaningful storyline, and adds simple world exploration with an excellent class-mixing system that could use just a bit more depth. Regardless, it's a fantastic return for a great game, appealing to both fans and newcomers alike.

Dungeons of Hinterberg offers an engaging blend of action-adventure and social RPG elements with a well-balanced mix of combat, puzzles, witty conversations, and relaxation. Its only drawbacks might be the weaker sound design and potentially divisive visual style. However, it’s certainly a journey worth taking, especially with its availability on Game Pass.

At its core, The First Descendant is a solid looter shooter, but that's about it. The limited number of activities, which are quite similar, a botched storyline, awkward dialogues, and excessive grind weigh it down. The characters, while fun to play, are generic. Despite these issues, the game can still be entertaining, and many of the problems mentioned could be resolved quickly. However, the predatory monetization strategy chosen by Nexon won't disappear. Even so, it can be ignored, allowing you to enjoy the game if you can look past all the surrounding clutter and focus on the simple thrill of holding down the trigger.

A beautiful and original game that is an amalgam of several genres, skillfully blending them together. It definitely deserves your attention, regardless of your preferred gaming genre, as it offers something unique, fresh, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition, with its improved audiovisual presentation and a handful of new content, successfully reminds us why this action-adventure became a cult classic. Despite some outdated mechanics that feel a bit rough around the edges, it still retains its charm, relevance, and most importantly, its ability to build anticipation for the much-delayed and deserved sequel even after twenty years.

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.

A city-building strategy game that is dangerously addictive and captures its historical theme through its gameplay mechanics. In Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, you'll transform villages into sprawling concrete metropolises, coordinate complex production chains, and manage massive distribution networks. Most importantly, you'll have a great time doing it, even though the game occasionally throws a wrench in the works with its clunky elements.

A meticulously crafted game that offers no surprises, but that doesn't mean it's boring. The world is beautiful, the combat is adequately adrenaline-pumping, and the story is interesting. It's almost a shame that you'll be done with Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn relatively quickly.

Currently the best form of the subgenre that Shin Megami Tensei represents. It offers thrilling turn-based battles that make you think about every move and reconsider your party lineup in case of failure. Vengeance brings numerous improvements over the original fifth game, is available on platforms beyond the Switch, and is technically superior.

Evocative and creative, Indika is a clear testament to the engaging potential of a short narrative adventure. The game draws strength from interactivity, switches genres, and boldly tackles deep and dark themes. It stands out as one of this year's indie gems—a delightful oddity in the best sense of the word.

Still Wakes the Deep feels more like a film than a game. Its very simple gameplay sometimes obstructs and delays the well-written mysterious story that focuses on human minds. This harrowing horror shines best in moments without interaction, supported by excellent visuals and top-notch voice acting. It would work much better as a different medium.

A successful remaster of the puzzle-action adventure that retains its charming touch of light horror. Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, however, doesn't hide its slightly outdated structure and a few period-specific bugs that could use a bit of vacuuming.

An excellent expansion for an outstanding game. It offers a massive amount of new content, a brilliantly designed game world full of secrets to uncover, and a conclusion to the story that this legend truly deserved.

A top-notch portrayal of Formula 1 racing with a new career overhaul where you can finally race with official drivers. F1 24 is undeniably the best Formula racing game, featuring an authentic driving model and a wide range of settings for driving characteristics and championship modes. However, it would have been nice to see more new features compared to last year's installment.

Heading Out is one of the most bizarre genre mixes ever encountered. The racing element is fun, the comic-style narrative engaging, the graphic design simply fantastic, the road trip aspects immersive, the radio broadcasts natural and bold, the pervasive threat suitably unsettling, and the desire to figure out what’s going on is immense. It's a strange game, but it works, it's enjoyable, and it's refreshing to see someone unafraid to experiment. This time, the gamble paid off.

The main draw of Sand Land is its adventure and well-written characters borrowed from the beloved source material. While their manga-like appearance might not appeal to everyone, the care and love for the original comic are evident in every move they make, complemented by excellent voice acting. However, the unfulfilled potential of the open world and the dull quest content are disappointing, only redeemed by the entertaining combat system featuring customizable vehicles. Despite these drawbacks, Sand Land is worth playing to experience its story.

Fabledom is one of the more accessible city-building strategies that doesn't overwhelm with micromanagement. Instead, it allows full enjoyment of creating a magical kingdom, occasionally spiced up with familiar fairy-tale characters or events. It could benefit from more original ideas and a faster overall pace, but without the pressure of complex battles, it's a fun and engaging experience.

Brilliant, entertaining, and fantastic turn-based strategy game that will test strategic thinking. Songs of Conquest excellently modernizes an old genre, proving it still has life. The pixel art style is mesmerizing, the music captivating, and the abundance of content will keep players engaged for years.

A fun and beautiful remake of a stylish, two-decade-old JRPG with all its strengths and flaws. It could benefit from more significant design changes and additional features, but while it may pose some questions for modern players, nostalgia lovers will feel right at home.
