Resident Evil Requiem continues the series' winning streak, once again bringing fans everything that is best about it – and this time in a way that satisfies both action and horror enthusiasts. Although the numerous references to previous installments mean that Requiem cannot be recommended to completely new players, I wasn't bored for a moment. This is not a requiem for the Resident Evil series – but a tribute to its thirty-year legacy.

Many hours spent with XCOM: Enemy Unknown turned out to be breathtaking. The atmosphere is unforgiving, but the immensely satisfying gameplay convinced me, that Firaxis Games are true masters of their craft. This is an XCOM game that should bring new fans to an almost dead genre. This game is a truly engrossing strategy and one of the contenders for the game of the year title.

Mass Effect 3 surprised me in a very positive way. BioWare has delivered an excellent product that won't allow us to forget about Normandy's crew for years to come. The trilogy's conclusion should satisfy everyone and the grand finale itself is simply perfect - you will all be awestruck.

What kind of game is Battlefield 3? Well made, extremely impressive, pretty and rich in content. But still it has some flaws and suprising peculiarities.

Persona 3 Reload is distinguished from the series by its darker tone, bolder twists and stronger main storyline. The revamped and slightly simpler gameplay makes this installment of the series an ideal entry point for new players and a tribute to veterans of the original, who can finally experience an (almost) definitive edition of this game on modern platforms.

It Takes Two is a terrific game, albeit one that's hard to recommend without a certain mindset. 3D platformer enthusiasts sure won't be disappointed. And if they look for unique ways to cooperate with other players, they've just found an excellent proposition. But the narration is a different beast; a much weaker one. It's definitely a step down compared to A Way Out.

Many people have been expecting L.A. Noire to be Rockstar's answer for Mafia II. They are bound do be disappointed - the games don't have much in common. Team Bondi's game is a detective story, a new generation of adventure games, an original, unusual and extremely absorbing product. I had the best time playing L.A. Noire. I grew to like Cole Phelps and was glad to help him fight evil lurking in dark corners of The City of Angels, especially that each case was interesting and intriguing on its own.

This is pure arthouse and postmodern - a title that proves that there is always room for something new in the gaming medium, even if it is based on well-known pop culture tropes.

Horizon: Zero Dawn marks Guerilla Games' return to form and is a showcase for what PS4 can do. Of course, it's far from perfect but thanks to diverse landscapes, excellent graphics and wildly satisfying combat mechanics Horizon looks really impressive. Just don't let the boring first two hours discourage you.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn't a game that should attract every kind of player, but even though you might have avoided the first part for whatever reason, you definitely should give the sequel a chance. It is a much more spectacular, bigger in every way mega-game that stands out from its peers.

I love Joel and Ellie's story, but it was so intensive that I didn't need to go through it again. However, I envy those who will get to know this game now for the very first time. The Last of Us: Part I is a terrific "remaster of a remaster" that guarantees an even better and more immersive experience.

War of the Chosen is a massive expansion that adds lots of new things. Most of the focus on the most important thing in any turn-based tactical strategy game - gameplay mechanics. The game has lots of solutions introduced in previous expansions but the key was to make the game even more enjoyable. It worked - XCOM 2 with War of the Chosen is one of the best tactical strategies.

If you're a fan of the series, you've probably already placed a pre-order, and if not, you should know that Monster Hunter: Wilds is definitely worth playing. However, I think that if you're just starting out with Monster Hunter, World will be a great introduction, and by the time you finish it, Capcom will probably have sorted out most of Wilds' technical issues, and maybe even dropped the price a bit from the launch version.

Brotherhood is a must have for all Assassin's Creed fans. It doesn't blow your mind the way Assassin's Creed II did, but it certainly doesn't leave an impression of wasted money. If forthcoming sequels keep the same level of quality, they can be released every six months. I don't mind.

NieR: Automata is a weird RPG with outdated graphics and some repetitiveness. But it doesn't matter - Platinum games has created an excellent, fresh and crazy game. It has an original storyline with tons of brutal and moving scenes, and features a constantly shifting gameplay and wonderful soundtrack. It has all the features of a timeless classic.

PS4 owners have finally gotten one of the best games of 2015. This version of Rise of the Tomb Raider has been enhanced with add-ons and new game modes and as such is an instant "must have". All the great things about Lara's adventure are still in effect and the only chance to receive a better game of this kind is with the next installment of the series.

Left Behind delivers more emotions that many mass-produced stories about saving the world. Naughty Dog has created a great script and delivered extremely likable and realistic main characters. This DLC offers something more than emotional storytelling - stealth levels are really great as well. Simply put - it's a must have for all fans of The Last of Us.

Far Cry 3 is one of the most interesting games of the year. The single-player mode is a great mix of a big sandbox and an atmospheric story with interesting characters. There are some mistakes here and there, but all in all everyone should be satisfied - sandbox lovers and fans of good storylines alike. What's more, the multiplayer isn't something added just because it needs to be - it's a great, big, rightful mode focused on cooperation (an additional co-op mini-campaign that borrows character progress from the standard multiplayer is a welcome bonus). Far Cry 3 is a package full of pleasant surprises. An insanely good game.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a terrific, extremely beautiful game with solid gameplay and tons of fun. It doesn't add anything new, though - we got a safe sequel to one of the most important PlayStation series, a game perfect for a new wave of gamers.

Torchlight II is a meaty chunk of a great hack'n'slash that appeals to all gamers disappointed with new mechanics introduced in Diablo III. The developers have added some new, interesting ideas and the game's future looks bright. Of course, there are some minor flaws, but they won't prevent you from having lots of fun. I personally think that Diablo III is an overall better production, but the most important thing in any game is to enjoy playing it, and both of them provide that.

XCOM 2 represents a safe school of making sequels. It uses a good, working, well-known gameplay basis on top of which some minor modification were created. And it's not such a bad way to go. More changes will undoubtedly appear in upcoming expansions but right now XCOM 2 is very, very satisfying. If you like tactical strategies, you can't miss it.

Dishonored 2 is a well made but safe sequel. You won't find a revolution here only minor improvements to well known mechanics. Of course there are some new things but most of them will be appreciated only by true veterans of the previous game. Fortunately, Arkane's new game surprised me more than once and all in all left a very good impression. But it could have been so much more.

Every RPG fan who hasn't had the opportunity to play Divinity: Original Sin has to make up for it now - Enhanced Edition is a must buy. The game offers all the good things that years ago appealed to fans of the genre and adds tons of improvements to a great product that originally debuted 16 months ago.

Horizon Forbidden West doesn't try to reinvent the genre, and it's barely an evolution either. The developers have simply mixed all the current ingredients in perfect proportions. What they did in the end was throttling the freedom, gradually revealing the full extent of the experience in Forbidden West. One of the finest adventures we've recently had for sure!

Deathloop was an awe-inspiring experience, and as such, it's a guaranteed candidate to the Game of the Year award. The game brings everything you can wish for - a great story, a world full of secrets begging to be discovered, unique characters, satisfying combat and puzzles, and timeless audiovisuals. Instant classic.

The Witcher 2 on the X360 is a masterpiece. It's easy to prey on the developers that are unable to create a good port of an original game, but that's not the case. I don't have to be patriotic to see the gigantic amount of work the authors have done - I have seen this port in action almost a year ago and I was far from being ecstatic.

I won't be surprised if Metroid Dread gets crowned Game of the Year. If that happens, I'll be happy. Dread is a furiously frustrating, extremely challenging, and superbly satisfying game, and probably the best Metroid ever.

The Stanley Parable doesn't pack a punch as great as Portal did, but my time in the office turned out to be very enjoyable. Galactic Cafe has made one of the best parodies ever, a game that is funny, and makes fun of other games with style. You should definitely try it out, because it's a very original product that doesn't pretend to be your friend. All of this doesn't matter, because it's just a game. But what a game it is!
