    Helldivers 2 is an exciting adventure for a group of friends who have long dreamed of immersing themselves in cooperative action and spending time together. Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony worked together to surprise the community, create a very high-quality game and open a portal to an incredibly fun universe.

    Despite being in early access, Enshrouded shows incredible promise, and while it would be easy to write off the game as a Valheim clone, it's actually much more than that. The game has a noticeable difficulty spike, but it disappears as soon as someone joins you. The world of Embervale is simply breathtaking and perfectly combines hyperrealism and whimsical fantasy. Even the most dangerous parts of the game are pleasing to the eye, and the game itself is simply incredible. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

    Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's game world is interesting, and the combo-based combat feels like a mad cross between DMC and the Ori series. The game is absolutely worth the time to explore its huge map, and will provide us with interesting characters, in a reboot of the game series and a great introduction to 2024.

    Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is an amazing game that masterfully creates a world that is as fun to look at as it is to navigate quickly. Ubisoft Massive has painstakingly brought the Pandoras to life, ensuring that both casual and avid movie fans will appreciate the sights. And while the game is sometimes able to hold its own against the films, its success is partially negated by the all-too-familiar Ubisoft formula peeking out from under its beautiful exterior and a less-than-interesting or innovative story.

    Remnant II: The Awakened King offers a significant amount of new content and improvements to the base game, and new areas, items and NPCs provide players with a fresh and exciting experience, but unfortunately does not fix existing problems. The increased trait cap and new archetype add reasonable depth to character development and offer new playstyles to explore that can be enjoyed for dozens of hours, but doesn't have a huge story aspect to it. What about monsters? They added a few elites and that’s quite enough. But they added just... one of the usual monsters. If you play for the world and bosses then this addition you will like it, but if for the sake of the plot then you may be a little disappointed.

    As a reviewer, I cannot handwave this experience away even if Owlcat Games is a studio well-known for their strong post-launch support, yet rating the game on what I’ve actually played through would also be unfair to its final build. This is why this review comes out unscored with an update to follow once I had enough time and a chance to test some of the pricklier parts of the game that were problematic in the early version to compare the performance. Once done, this section will be dedicated the overall technical state of the game and the final thoughts.

    The game surprises with simple graphics, which are even drawn in a cartoon style, which is very pleasing to the eye. The music that we can listen to in the background, either during the title screen of the game or during the gameplay itself, is also very good.

    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.

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - The Lord of Nothing is an interesting addition to the game. While the story is focused on a separate cast of characters from one of the previous DLCs, the main game also gets a number of additional Archetypes and feats as well as an incredible boss fight that will test your builds and gear to the limit.

    It's still the same For The King, which only pretended to have changed, but lied, and therefore will continue to humiliate players - cruelly breaking them off, leading them through endless dungeons with a bunch of rooms without a single store, playing on emotions, taking away hope and generating unique situations in each playthrough. This is why we, masochists, love her.

    Achilles: Legends Untold is an absolutely good game. It has a very interesting idea, and ideas nowadays are valued even more than the quality of the product itself, the game has a good leveling system, and battles can (albeit rarely) be a real pleasure (yes, I'm talking about cutting through a crowd of skeletons). But it needs a lot of polishing, and I'm not talking in technical terms, but in gameplay terms

    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.

    To sum it up, Lords of the Fallen turned out to be an excellent entry into the soulslike genre, cleverly combining trusty mechanics from other projects while maintaining its own identity. The game offers a unique challenge due to its complexity but at the same time doesn’t forget about the newcomers, giving them ample time to adapt.

    Separate Ways is a large, high-quality and solid expansion, into which a lot of effort was invested, and where there was a place for its own secrets, costumes, accessories and bonuses. Separate Ways is almost an exemplary example of how add-ons should be done.

    Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty will not bring anything super expected, or something that will make everyone pull out their hair. This game has already taken a very worthy place, and it is very deserved and justified, just even if you look at its path. And this is true. I liked this expansion and I recommend everyone to explore this universe, there are so many interesting and new places and characters in it that it would be wrong to say something bad. The developers did not abandon their project, which became almost the most discussed topic of 2020, but they got together and did what few could. They created a universe that millions loved.

    Overall, Starfield is fine. It's a Frankenstein's monster of other sci-fi games and references, and it doesn't do any of those things better than existing products. The battle? Cyberpunk 2077 is smoother. Mining and geological exploration? This is all No Man's Sky. Controlling the ship? FTL still reigns. RPG story? Can't compare to Outer Worlds. But even after all this, the game is good and will keep players engaged for a long, long while.

    As a fan of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the 2003 remake, and a former DBD player, I feared for the future of this game. However, my fears were quickly dispelled because Texas Chainsaw Massacre doesn't just use the horror franchise as an aesthetic, but also builds its core mechanics around the essence of the movie. Cinematography, music and tone have been carefully studied to recreate the creepy world that Tobe Hooper created nearly 50 years ago. What's more, the gameplay and character development kept me coming back match after match, giving me that "one more" feel that I sorely miss in other asymmetrical horror games. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre transforms the iconic franchise into a terrifying adventure that will haunt players for a long time to come. This game, in my opinion, is better not to be compared with brothers in the genre like DBD, these games are too different, and no one forces you to choose one thing. At the moment, the game has enough content to explore, and what happens next depends only on the developers. I liked the game and I will definitely recommend it to anyone who likes games of this kind, even a little.

    Astronaut: The Best is delightfully odd and defies expectations. Medling strategic management with occult imagery makes it initially interesting. Strapping it to a game of chance and painting the whole thing under some zany presentation seems to work. It won’t challenge you in the same way a true game of skill will, but it’s endearing in a weird sort of way. Certainly, it’s not Kerbals, that’s for sure.

    Recent cRPG releases have revitalized the genre and proven that a great single-player game can gather a huge passionate playerbase, no microtransactions or live service elements needed. If you enjoy narrative-driven RPGs that feature deep roleplaying systems and a cast of great characters, you owe it to yourself to give Baldur’s Gate 3 a chance. I have not felt such a rush of emotions since Dragon Age: Origins.

    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.

    The first Oxenfree was hardly a masterpiece, and the continuation in Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals is even further. The plot is interesting and intriguing, especially if you understand all the references to the first part and can connect the events of both games in the series in your head. But an annoying companion and not the most exciting gameplay spoil the impression, overshadowing the amazing acting and great atmosphere. Perhaps it's time for the Night School Studio team to move on and come up with something new - the developers either can't or don't want to implement fresh ideas in this series, and even Oxenfree fans probably won't want to get all the same in the third part.

The game seamlessly combines various elements, from fishing and selling sushi to battling sea creatures, making it an enjoyable and unique experience.

The game's flexibility allows players to choose their preferred game play style, whether it's diving for fish or managing the sushi shop, ensuring a personalized experience for all players. Events and unpredictable moments add excitement and challenge to the game, making each dive feel different and special. Despite occasional repetitiveness, the game surprises with unexpected challenges and moments of kindness.

    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 developers, playing with the fantasy of the most incredible worlds and stories, aroused a desire to evaluate at least a couple more sequels that I hope will be bigger, with more branching storylines, and additional gameplay features.

    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.

    Previous Amnesia games have repeatedly fallen behind the horror that haunted the castle in the original game, but Amnesia: The Bunker is already showing potential in this regard. Bunker still feels like an exciting and increasingly important step forward for the Amnesia series. Players will love the change in the scale of the gameplay and the bigger storytelling and the new ways to interact with the world our hero is in. Having weapons and all the explosions you will bring back can change the atmosphere a lot but I will say they are not endless, and what will happen when you are left alone with the monster?

    All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed playing Blooming Business: Casino, and would suggest it to any of my friends looking for a cozy, casual time. It has its fair share of bugs, but I think makes up for it with fantastic theming, colorful characters, and overall fun gameplay. If I could suggest one improvement for this game, it would be to add an eyedropper tool similar to The Sims that lets you quickly copy and paste furniture as it can get a little tedious at times to go back and forth between decor when you’re making multiple changes.

    If you are a fan of card-crawling, story-rich, easy to play casual games, then this game has probably already been on your radar. While this game is pretty fun to play, it may not be to everyone’s taste. These types of rogue-like games can be particular niches that, if you like them, you love them, but if you don’t, they can start to feel incredibly similar and redundant. So, if you are looking for more games that introduce card battling mechanics, this could definitely be a game for you. I thoroughly enjoyed what the game offered. Was it very similar to Slay the Spire? Yes. Does it bring its own new mechanics of game play to the table as well? Of course. So, I recommend you download the free mobile version and give it a try. This would be something quick and easy to play on any lunch break, or under your desk at a boring office meeting. By playing this game on mobile first, it gives you the opportunity to try the game before you purchase it on Steam. Whether it is for mobile or pc, this game deserves a spot in any true rogue-like lovers’ library.

    Blacktail is one of the most unexpected, original and atmospheric games not only of December, but of the entire outgoing year. Of course, the authors still lack experience and skill, but they approached the concept of an adventure about the young Baba Yaga with soul and scope.

    An inventive folow up to the original Hello Neighbour. This creepy puzzler has tons of potential and makes vast improvements upon our first trip to Raven Brooks, Jsut maybe hold of on your trip until some of the creaky floorboards have been fixed.

    Harmony's Odyssey is a wonderful, whimsical adventure game ripe with a handful of puzzle types. With well over 100 puzzles, plus mini-games and an arcade mode, there's plenty to do for the price tag. If jigsaw and "find the differences" puzzle-type games aren't your thing then unfortunately Harmony's Odyssey won't turn you around and make you a fan. It's aimed at a specific type of gamer and what it does, it does well!

    Choo-Choo Charles is a fun, and original concept stretched so thinly that it caught our attention. We deserve to be underwhelmed by it, and its creator still deserves credit for a great little game.

    Overall, The Callisto Protocol is a third-person shooter set on the moon of Jupiter with a horror and suspense-based story. Including well-known actors to aid the story was a good choice as it gets you more connected with them. While the PC port originally had some issues with stability, the issue seems to have been mostly corrected at this point and is playing well on my PC. If you are a fan of Dead Space I would give this a try.

    Back 4 Blood: Children of the Worm expansion brought a lot of interesting activities and new chapters, addressed many of the smaller problems but didn’t touch on previously existing controversial aspects of the game. I will continue playing B4B with my friends with great pleasure but I hold out hope for further development of the game as a whole. The developers seem to be on the right track.

    Signalis has been in development for 8 years! And it is clear that all 8 years they put their soul into it. From the plot to the sound effects, everything looks very concise.

    Rogue Legacy 2 is a metroidvania, roguelite platformer that will start off difficult and move you into furthering your family tree just to defeat the final boss. It offers good graphics, good story, and a cool system for building up your characters and character types.

    No Straight Roads is a game with beautiful visual and musical design, filled with side-tickling humor and banter, spectacular battles but with a pretty average gameplay overall. It will take you roughly 5 to 7 hours to beat the game, but you will likely get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

    The Chant lasts only five or six hours. Despite being funny more often than scary, the game does not make you regret the time spent in it. Although The Chant produces very contradictory sensations. None of its elements can be called outstanding, but there is nothing terrible and non-functional in the project either. It turned out to be such an average product, even with all the caveats that this is the debut work of a small studio. It can only be advised to the most ardent fans of the genre in anticipation of the new Silent Hill and Resident Evil.

    At first glance, Floodland isn't the most complex, especially when looking at previous creations from developers of games like Frostpunk. However, it has a distinct and detailed aesthetic that grabs one's attention. Small figurines of people running around gathering resources or sleeping under the stars. it was a pleasure to follow, while the details of the various ruined buildings or rusty towers gave a nice feel to the game's atmosphere and past. If you are a lover of survival sims, Floodland is for you.

    All in a great take on the Soulslike staples we've already seen flood the market. This jaunt through a retro dullscape might feel oddly uninspiring if it wasn't for the streamlined gameplay and acerbic wit wielded by Nostalgaia.

    Contempt has become hostage to its concept. This is an excellent interactive artbook, which has practically no analogs. But as a game, this is still a piece product, not everyone needs a product that not everyone will appreciate.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem impressed with the time I was able to spend with her. It's clear that Asobo is working on fixing the biggest flaws in 2019's A Plague Tale: Innocence. This improved the quality of movement and resource management, expanded Amicia and Hugo's skill sets, and expanded the levels to encourage more creative interaction with your surroundings.

    Overall, I love all the little nuances of Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed It’s the small details that you notice that draw you into the Ghostbusters universe. Seeing Ray and Winston right at the beginning of the game are big on this and it really ties the new group together with the old group. Seeing Ecto-1 is a real nostalgia hit and it makes you wish you could get behind the wheel.

    Disney Dreamlight Valley is an amazing life simulation where iconic characters are all around you and you can almost touch them. Adding these instantly recognizable villagers to your kingdom and befriending them through quests is fun, even if a lot of it comes down to boring errands. Even with a bunch of issues and bugs and no final act in this Early Access state, the game is well worth your time. Just for the sake of being closer to this beautiful world. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

    The Treasure of the Midnight Isles is the most unique out of the three DLCs released up till now. It provides players with an opportunity of exploring more content as the part of the main campaign or setting out on a standalone journey - a perfect way to enjoy some Wrath of the Righteous without having to start a new playthrough or to test out an interesting build. If you enjoy challenging yourself to combat, it might be a perfect fit for you. However, if you prefer story-rich experiences, you might find the DLC lacking.

    Splashteam's clear love for the allure and allure of platforms, which for the most part is paying off. Great atmosphere that does not go beyond its appeal, amazing level design, smooth controls and an overall aesthetic that is both charming and well integrated, Tinykin from the game and easy to recommend to fans for 2D characters in a 3D atmosphere. . Summing up, I recommend the game to all those who like to explore all the nooks and crannies, turn over all the stones, climb into all the dusty cracks and conquer the tops of bookcases. The game is easy, not straining, but has its own zest.

    Seed of Life had a ton of potential and surprised me in so many ways for what just two developers came together to create. The foundation of the story was interesting, and the world was truly stunning to walk through, but it unfortunately just couldn't grab hold of me and fell apart when it came to gameplay. It has been a year since the game was released, and I would be seriously interested in seeing what MadLight developers have been working on in the meantime. I genuinely hope that the negative reviews haven't pushed them away from making games, because, despite Seed of Life's hiccups, they have a tremendous amount of talent. While it wasn't the game for me, you can certainly try out Seed of Life on Steam for yourself, and you might even luck up and catch it on sale.

    Full-fledged hunting and simulation games are not to my liking - in non-hunting games, hunting and fishing are enough. Call of the Wild: The Angler takes time and work. And as mentioned earlier, the game is not for everyone. It’s tailor-made for people who miss fishing and would like to go to the valley of tranquility and go fishing in their free time from the working day.
