PayDay 3 is a great game, but it is not 'part 3'. Instead, we got PayDay 2,5 with tons of unnecessary stuff, weird solutions and elements that are lacking. Somewhere, there is a very good game with a cool soundtrack to be found, but that's not enough.

Lies of P is the best soulslike that does not have the FromSoftware logo on it. The inspirations are evident, but ultimately this game has its own identity. Dark atmosphere, cool storyline, dynamic combat system, pleasant exploration, some challenging bosses - it's more than enough to provide fun.

Assassin's Creed: Mirage has some good features that fans should appreciate, but ultimately even they will become tired with extremely dull gameplay. We should demand more from this series. This kind of pseudo-return to the roots is not enough.

If you *had* to buy the new Forza Motorsport and this was the only one to play, I would recommend waiting until the developers patch it up and provide more content. But since it's available in Game Pass, you should check it out now. It's quite good.

Mortal Kombat 1 is a safe sequel without surprises. Unless someone is surprised by a well-crafted storyline, brutality and lots of single-player content. This is "just" another Mortal Kombat with all the good and the bad.

The Crew Motorfest turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Driving a firebird through night mist or speeding in a F40 while listening to Blondie stays in your head. Because, ultimately, these small moments are all that matters - and there's a lot of joy here.

Bethesda delivered a surprisingly complete game that should appeal to many different people. All these well-known gameplay solutions done in the space made me want more, and I definitely will beat Starfield one more time. And then one more.

Baldur's Gate 3 is one of those cases that makes me think with my heart and not my mind. And my heart tells me to start this adventure again with a new character, re-experience the story, get to know my companions and savor every moment. Again and again.

Immortals of Aveum is a perfect game for a subscription service. It has its flaws, but most of them can be easily eliminated in the future. However, I can't shake the feeling that this game has been left for dead even though it is really cool.

Blasphemous 2 is a really cool metroidvania, a full-fledged 2D soulslike and simply a good game with appealing pixel-art. It pulls you in and is able to keep the experience fresh.

Shadow Gambit’s biggest pros are pirate atmosphere and excellent characters. The gameplay mechanics are typical for this genre, and some skills are from Desperados III or Shadow Tactics. It’s a really great game worth playing.

Gord is an alright game. But that’s it. Nothing more. I had more fun playing this than, say, the new Settlers, but there’s so much unused potential here that a hypothetical sequel could be infinitely more interesting.

I had a fantastic time with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. The gameplay is genuinely addictive, and the storyline is structured in such a way that after each mission I immediately wanted to launch the next one to see what interesting the next stage holds. The "one more mission" syndrome works so strongly that the game gets stronger with each hour spent with it, so I had a serious problem to put the pad down. The fun has been looped in a way that works perfectly, and if you like a non-stop flow of fast-paced action, you should be delighted with the new creation from FromSoftware. There is no shortage of moments from which adrenaline almost buzzes in the veins.

Atlas Fallen is a shallow RPG. I strongly believe that with less work, it could be a much better action-adventure game. If you approach it with this mindset, it might seem like a quite good game.

The game has some amusing moments, is quite engaging and successfully evokes some emotions. At the same time, it can be very clumsy and if less time was spent on breast physics and more on gameplay and interface improvements, the title would be much more compelling.

Pikmin 4 may not be GOTY candidate, is not on everyone's lips and will probably not gather a massive following. However, its simple, carefree pleasure in great quantities is more than enough to make it worth your time.

The first Remnant was surprisingly good, and we expected no less from the sequel. As it turns out, Remnant 2 is even more than that. It's a must-play for people in search of a true challenge.

If you don’t mind a high entry threshold, many references to the 80s' popculture, a simple war story and some really dry humor, Jagged Alliance 3 is for you. And if you loved JA2 – don’t even hesitate.

What we have here is one of the best Alien games – ever. Aliens: Dark Descent not only offers a tremendous atmosphere evocative of James Cameron’s blockbuster, but also a very well-crafted gameplay that exceptionally combines multiple genres.

Trepang2 is a game made according to a recipe that's more than 20 years old. Arguably, however, the FEAR formula is still relevant. The shooting is really, really satisfying, too. A pleasant surprise, for sure.

It’s completely normal that the next installments of a sports series evolve slowly. Fortunately, sometimes there is a revolution – F1 23 is one such example. The game is well thought out, has some excellent changes, and has a terrific steering/traction model that makes it one of the best sports games ever.

F1 Manager 2023 deserves a higher rating, but you can’t look at it without the context of its prequel. And the owners of F1 Manager 2022 were pretty much abandoned by the developer. Still, if you love F1, consider buying this game. It is a quality title!

I still can't escape Final Fantasy XVI's world. I still think about all the events and the ending, and can't play any other game for now. Those are the kinds of feelings that emerge after watching the greatest of movies, reading the best of books and playing the perfect games. Just wow.

The story is mediocre and the game has some technical issues, but Miasma Chronicles is a great tactical RPG. The developers of Mutant Year Zero have proved that they still know their craft.

System Shock is finally back as one of the best cyberpunk games ever. The remake looks exactly like I remembered the original, and in a world dominated by games that tend to hold the player by the hand, it is shockingly refreshing to think for yourself.

A superb game with a faint game-as-a-service scent, packed with gratifying content. Diablo 4 appears to be the top hack'n'slash available. As someone deeply familiar with previous Diablo iterations, Divine Divinity, and a touch of Grim Dawn, this is undoubtedly the finest hack'n'slash for me.

A big story mode, changes made to the combat system and a distinctive visual style make up a game that is breathtaking, and delivers tons of fun. And that’s just the beginning – the true fun of Street Fighter 6 will happen online.

I didn’t enjoy Boltgun that much. However, I’m sure it will appeal to gamers who don’t pay a lot of attention to gameplay balance or difficulty level. And if they are fans of the W40K universe and old-school first-person shooters, they will most likely love it.
