Disciples: Domination offers a massive new campaign that spans anywhere between 30 and 50 hours depending on your level of difficulty and style of play, plenty of major new features with their own spin on systems and combat, baseline enhancements and QoL features that were patched into Liberation over time. But it still sticks too close to Liberation to be called an entirely new game. If you were looking to experience more of Nevendaar from Avyanna’s PoV or want to spend several evenings in a solid turn-based strategy, you will enjoy the new installment. But if you are waiting for the second coming of Disciples 2, Domination features vastly different vibes and aesthetics.

Duet Night Abyss isn’t a bad game, it’s a cautionary tale about how not to make a game.

Dying Light: The Beast is a ghost of a great franchise, competently executed but lacking the spark that once made it special. The game lacks the pioneering audacity of the original, and lacks the narrative ambition of the sequel. It's a grind that, despite its apparent dynamism, leads nowhere. On top of all this, the game was extremely rough at release, and some of its bugs remain unfixed.

Little Nightmares 3 is a worthy continuation of the series. It will definitely appeal to horror fans, as well as those who didn't particularly like the previous installments, and those who will play it solely for the co-op mode.

Raining City: Millions Recollections is a solid mystery-driven visual novel. It has many interesting side stories, plot twists and details to look for, and interesting side characters which grow on you. However, it struggles to deliver a true impact, mostly using shocking or nearly disgusting content for swift and effortless impact. While the story is interesting enough, it is hard to call it satisfactory for the amount of plot holes and loose ends. This novel can occupy you for several evenings if you like the dark stories and mystery solving. However, there is no great romance or diversity in the plot, as it might appear at first glance.

Despite its flaws, Firebreak is not to be dismissed. It has an interesting and engaging core. Its recognizable style, numerous crazy ideas, and constantly changing mission context could make the project vibrant and unique with serious refinement. But right now, it feels rushed. The balance needs a thorough overhaul, and the missions need tweaking to encourage player retention. For now, it's an interesting failure with enormous potential.

Memoriapolis is an intriguing city-builder that captures the sweep of history with its organic growth. Its dioramic visuals and innovative mechanics offer a fresh take on the genre that bridges city-building and 4X strategy. However, performance issues, a steep learning curve and rough edges temper its brilliance. It can truly shine on a beefy PC, offering a captivating experience with both thrill of ruling and relaxation of cozy city building.

Whether you're a fan of the original or new to the series, Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection invites you to relive a heartfelt journey about love, loss, and the power of the undead. Despite its shortcomings, it captivates with a touching narrative, making it a worthwhile adventure for those willing to embrace its imperfections.

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is certainly an interesting attempt to create an engaging RPG experience, both in gameplay and the rare setting for this genre. Board game enthusiasts can find this game worth playing, yet more casual RPG players might be turned off by its complicated battle and deck building, spiced by the amount of randomness.

Like the first game in the series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is far from perfect, with a host of problems, controversial gameplay choices, a ton of bugs, and an ever-present sense of haste and incompleteness. Even without taking into account the lack of tweaks and polish, it won't be to everyone's taste. But if you like the lingering atmosphere, the gritty, down-to-earth story, and the romance of the stalker's journey, then this is the Stalker you've been waiting for all these years.

While We Wait Here does not shine with advanced technology and is far from perfect. But it is definitely worth a try for fans of intriguing plots and surreal atmospheres. The mechanics of cooking and customer service immerse you in a strange, creepy and surprising story. The fates of the characters are emotional and the moral dilemmas are truly complex. Moreover, While We Wait Here is short (only 2-3 hours) but replayable. It's a great option in the 'story game for the evening' category, especially for a few pounds on Steam.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is first and foremost a game for fans of the franchise. Horror fans can also give it a try and even get some emotions and challenges, but I'm afraid they won't live to see the end credits and will quietly leave to find another place to tickle their nerves.

If you like survival games and are not afraid of grinding, feel free to start Once Human. This is a stylish and expensive game that will keep you busy for a long time.

In its current state, Wuthering Waves is a generic open-world gacha with very few interesting and pleasant moments that shine in world exploration and battle system. If you were looking for a game with a deep, engaging narrative, you might want to give WuWa some more time to cook. However, if you were interested in a title that would hold your interest for a few evenings as you explore the world and throw your cast of characters into dynamic combat and various puzzles, then you will feel right at home.

Alone in the Dark (2024) developers decided to run away and jump into the rich Survival Horror genre, without having any trump cards at the ready. That’s exactly what the authors of the new Alone in the Dark decided to do. The mystical plot of evil in the Louisiana swamps quickly turns into a disjointed kaleidoscope, where characters and any semblance of integrity are lost. The game system turned out to be obscenely poor: four types of weapons, five types of enemies, two types of puzzles! This thing can only be recommended to researchers of the genre, and other players do not even need to know about the existence of Alone in the Dark.

Frivolous, farty, and gloriously chaotic but not the best episode of South Park. Snow Day is a mix of ideas all balled up into an action brawler. if you and your friends love South Park then some genuinely inspired moments make this worth taking the time to play.

Zoria: Age of Shattering is a product of love and passion from Tiny Trinket Games. The game features a deep narrative, complex tactical combat, base building, and so much more. However, the lack of QoL-features brings it down: the highs are exhilarating, but the lows can feel a bit too draining.

The gameplay of Gangs of Sherwood unfortunately resembles a constant cycle of a fight for a minute, explore the location, fight for a minute and a half, and so forth. Then players move on to the next one, and then the level is complete. Luckily, the level art is simply stunning which removes some of the monotonous pain. With the possibilities of selecting your own gameplay for the characters, and because there is enough variability in the game, it is a tolerable, if somewhat lackluster game at the moment especially in terms of combat and its attractiveness. Still, however, Gangs of Sherwood is definitely worth your attention or to keep an eye on over time, especially have someone to play with.

If you have a few hours to spend, Land of the Vikings will give you an opportunity to enjoy creating a settlement and seeing it grow, all the while adding little touches that make it yours. However, the game doesn't prioritize its own unique features, instead upholding the age-old formula of the genre.

Atomic Heart: Annihilation Instinct features fun action-driven gameplay on the level of the main game and some seriously clumsy plot points. It remains to be seen how well the DLC can serve as the launch point for further additions.

Have you ever come across a game where you weren't completely sure what you just saw? Was there a scene that made you think, or was there a game that blew you away? Sometimes there are games that after you have played them, your attitude towards video games changes. Lifeless Moon does not shine with any beauty, mind-blowing interaction, or story, but it will awaken the desire to explore and overcome all obstacles in its path. And then try to figure out what happened.

A solid management sim and a cute idea that manages to tick all the boxes. Let's School can sometimes feel simply functional and yet manages to stand out from the competition with momentary flashes of brilliance. A solid B pupil with the potential to go further with the right after school tutelage.

It is rare to find simulators that can really attract attention with their idea, usually developers make the same type of projects that do not please with either a lot of variety or what they are, but this time we were very pleased. The developers of Deadliest Catch: The Game made interesting content, a lot of interesting mechanics, which in the end were able to interest and attract. But what happens in the game certainly cannot surprise you or interest you to sit and play this game for 5 hours a day. This is not a bad pastime, especially if you are interested in this topic and want to have fun. But the graphic and technical side of the game is its weakest side.

The strength of Return to Grace lies in the writing and the incredible voice acting. The cast is made up of well-known industry talents, the cast effectively brings out each personality with great depth. Without such strong actors, A Return to Grace could have easily vanished into a sea of cautionary tales about artificial intelligence. The authors classify "Return to Grace" as science fiction in the style of the 1960s. Closer to fantasy in a sci-fi setting, with a good dose of gentle humor, with bright character and even superbly voiced characters, with simple gameplay. The most pleasant thing is to spend the evening without straining.

Homebody is a good mix of survival horror and challenging puzzles set against a backdrop of psychological themes. While the time loop mechanic can lead to repetitive moments, the engaging storytelling and puzzles make up for any shortcomings. The game's retro graphics combined with well-executed sound design create an atmosphere. This is a good "retro-horror", which is interesting to play not only for fans of retro, but also for all lovers of horror or puzzles.

Interesting, open-ended conversations (a game, after all), discussions of the ins and outs of life, and spacewalks in familiar ships are a fantasy that really takes you right into the Star Trek universe. Although the game has some major technical issues at the moment, the game is definitely a real Star Trek game that is fun to play. If you want to immerse yourself in a brand new Star Trek storyline from the developers of Narrative Adventures, this is the game for you.

The game experience of God of War: Ragnarök is very uneven. The title features battles where main bosses serve as damage sponges, the plot that whiplashes between soul-searching and brutality, the world that is empty in some corners and over-saturated with puzzles in others. At the same time, it is a huge, well-crafted title with good overall story and character development. The complete absence of bugs and the game’s technical performance is more than impressive.

Assessing the prospects of Honkai: Star Rail is quite difficult because it will be possible to compare only with the studio's previous games, or the most popular Genshin. Obviously, it will attract a sizable audience at launch due to miHoYo's general popularity and balanced style, the question is whether there will be enough content in the game to keep that audience, given the superficial combat system.
