The latest Sims 4 Expansion Pack left a positive but slightly surprised impression. Enchanted by Nature could have benefited from a bit less enchantment and a bit more nature. Sometimes it feels like the central pillar of the pack was supposed to be Fairies, and then everything was built up around them as a way to include non-Fairy Sims and add more content, but it feels somewhat lacking.

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream sets an impressively high bar from the opening moments and consistently maintains it throughout the experience. It perfectly caters to fans of both stealth mechanics and narrative-driven games, delivering exceptional quality in both aspects. The deeply personal story hooks players with its compelling mysteries and shocking twists, while the tense, challenging gameplay keeps you engaged session after session. What makes this adventure truly memorable is its emotional alchemy - endearing characters, subtle humor, and dark motivations blend together to create something special.

Nova Hearts is the kind of game you need to feel like playing or be in the right mood for. When its vibes resonate, it’s hard to put down before unraveling the mysteries hidden in the finale. On the one hand, the game’s lighthearted, self-aware humor and unapologetic silliness make it genuinely fun. On the other, it feels like a fleeting weekend fling—enjoyable but forgettable.

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.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - Lex Imperialis does not lower the bar set by Void Shadows. It seamlessly integrates into the main story, showing unexpected twists and turns, and expanding the Lord Captain’s world. While there were some minor graphic glitches, it is absolutely a reason for another full run, to get the most out of the new experience.

The creators of Sifu have made a game even for those who don't like sports. In mid-April, testing of Rematch began, and at that time, the peak number of online players on Steam exceeded 120,000, and some gamers are already calling the new game the future of virtual football. As soon as the game is released, it has every chance of becoming the new gaming discovery of the year. Despite some minor flaws, REMACH is a game that definitely deserves attention. With these shortcomings addressed, it could become a real hit, winning the hearts of millions of players.

Palia is a casual, comfortable life sim that warmly welcomes players both old and new. The game features a cast of diverse NPCs to befriend or romance and a peaceful, smooth gameplay loop where any of your activities add to your overall progression without being overbearing or stressful. The recent Elderwood expansion introduced more content and activities, but did not add anything strictly brand-new or revolutionary.

Oblivion Remastered is undoubtedly a beautiful visual update of the classic. At the same time, the game hasn't got rid of its old flaws. NPCs still act like they're caught in a time trap, frozen in the time of the original. Bugs and technical issues are still a part of this world, which certainly detracts from the overall impression of the update.

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.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a masterpiece of emotional storytelling, rich in atmosphere in which history and magic intertwine. The game is not afraid to ask hard questions and point out harsh truths, all the while featuring a gripping narrative, believable characters, and an impressive turn-based combat with some novel mechanics.

Tempest Rising brings a great deal of joy both in its mechanics and in the tactical component. However, it feels like the developers were too unsure to step away from the classic gameplay canvas when it comes to innovations.

Maliki: Poison of the Past offers a uniquely charming experience that captures the original spirit of the series. This lighthearted adventure blends ridiculous humor with genuinely serious themes, creating a distinctive atmosphere. While the action elements might not deliver pulse-pounding excitement, the game engages players through numerous other compelling aspects. It will undoubtedly earn its rightful place in genre fans' libraries, offering both newcomers and longtime fans plenty of reasons to fall in love with this universe - whether for the first time or all over again.

KARMA: The Dark World cannot be called a masterpiece: the gameplay is uneven, and the metaphorical plot is interrupted quite suddenly, as if the story is not told to the end. But it is definitely a worthy psychological thriller, which keeps you in suspense until the very end and cleverly plays with emotions, so much so that you get an uncomfortable feeling of being in this monstrous dystopia.

Nikoderiko: Director's Cut offers players a unique experience that combines a gripping narrative, engaging storyline, vibrant graphics, and addictive, intuitive gameplay. Moderate difficulty allows you to enjoy the platformer with children or a partner who has no experience with such games.

For non-fans, those not familiar with the anime series, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is an extremely controversial purchase. For fans of fighting, it is simply okay once you overcome the entry threshold.

Koira is a melody of friendship, composed by two lone souls on their path to the shared future. This game holds a unique feel, offering to experience a story like many others from a new perspective. By embarking on this emotional journey—sharing every high and low with its endearing characters—no one can emerge from this world unaffected. Beneath Koira's charming exterior lies a poignant exploration of sacrifice: how love may demand everything, and how loss can carve the deepest meaning into our lives. It's a story that lingers, much like the echo of a song you can't quite place.

Two Point Studios took the recipe of their previous games and improved upon it. And, while Two Point Museum is not a revolution in games of this genre, it is at the very least a big step forward. The game adds depth to its micromanagement systems without forgetting about the comfort and convenience for players, all the while offering bright, cheerful visuals and impressive gameplay.

Sequel to the beloved action adventure from Odd Bug Studio, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter puts players in the shoes of Arlo, the heir to the Warden of the Wastes, as he seeks to avenge his father and rebuild his home. Prepare to fight fang and claw, go through numerous equipment to see what fits you and helps in the battles with unique bosses, all against the stunning backdrop of dark medieval fantasy.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest entry into the beloved RPG series from Capcom. The game strives to be welcoming to new players while providing veteran Hunters with a challenge, but doesn't always succeed, despite the admirable effort of the developers. It offers a narrative-driven adventure that will have you research, prepare for and carefully hunt monsters, while also building upon and iterating on previous games' systems.

Avowed is first and foremost an RPG, maybe not the one everyone wanted, not the one you'd expect from the legendary Obsidian, but it's a step forward after Outer Worlds (which wasn't bad), albeit a small one. It's a sign that the studio is still alive, even if not quite in the form they wanted. And there is hope that there will be more good games from Obsidian in the future.

Path to Nowhere is a mobile game that blends strategic gameplay with a dark narrative, offering players a unique experience in the world of tactical RPGs and engaging them in stories that are both thrilling and emotionally captivating. If nothing else, it is worth experiencing for its stunning art style and impeccable aesthetics.

Atomic Heart: Enchantment Under the Sea explores what happened after the true ending of the base game and Trapped in Limbo DLC, continuing the story of the Nechaev couple in a great way. While not without its drawbacks, it is an exemplary DLC, which brought additions to the plot, a pleasant combat with new mechanics and weapons, and a little bit of new music.

A Game About Digging A Hole is not just a game about digging, it is a small and exciting adventure that combines elements of strategy, exploration and creativity. It doesn't pretend to be complex or epic, but it can give you a few hours of pleasant fun. If you are looking for something unusual and relaxing, this game is definitely worth your attention.

Into the Emberlands is a cozy little adventure in the beautiful world full of charming creatures. It captures players attention with the visual and a low entry threshold, keeping their interest through generative worlds and varieties of the biomes to explore. However, the lack of deeper challenges or surprises may leave players craving more as they progress and ruin the desire to return to this world once again.

I was immediately captivated by the well-written dialogues between the characters in the game. They allow you to empathize with the heroes, understand their motives and experiences. This creates a sense of closeness and involvement in what is happening. In addition, the game has excellent emotional voice acting in English.

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.

Fearmonium is a very addictive, moderately long metroidvania that will draw you in with an interesting plot and catchy aesthetics, both visual and audio.
