Football Manager 2023 works great. It’s a powerful second life, second job or simply your biggest passion simulation tool. If you are familiar with the previous installment, you’ll enjoy new things, and if you want to try the series out for the first time, the 2023 edition is a great place to start and learn.

As an avid fan of stealth games, I wanted Serial Cleaners to be much more than simply a prettier and more diverse version of the first game with a cool storyline.

Metal: Hellsinger is definitely worth your time. Because of the music, the carnage, and the very unusual gameplay with tons of potential (even though it is a short game).

I can safely recommend NBA 2K23 to every sports games fan, even though the microtransactions are extremely aggressive. The gameplay is too good, and I hope future updates won’t break it.

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope takes advantage of all the good stuff that always worked great, and expands it with a hefty amount of stuff new and improved. If you haven't played the first game, just start with the sequel. It's much better.

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is a game that can swallow you whole and make you forget about everything else - including its own flaws. That's the beauty of this series - the gameplay, and particularly the large-scale, real-time combat, makes us shrug off ugly face models, underdeveloped diplomacy, or dumb AI.

Victoria 3 deserves high praise as a very good title. Building and changing a society becomes really engaging. The only worrying part is the plans to expand the game through small, but potentially expensive DLCs.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a video game equivalent of Marvel Cinematic Universe. There's a lot of fun, gunplay feels great, and all of that sounds and looks excellent (it definitely is one of the prettiest games out there). But we still wouldn't nominate MW2 a game of the year.

Grandeur and epicness have caused a little bit of harm to Ragnarok - the 2018 God of War is by all means a better game. Not all new things work in the sequel. Still, I believe that this is a game worth checking out, and if you liked the first one - you simply HAVE to.

Bayonetta 3 is a good game and the best genre representative since Devil May Cry 5. The developers really strove to breathe some fresh air into the series. At the same time, however, it's disappointing as a sequel, as it plays it too safe.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a triumph of AA games. The developers have proved that talent and creativity can make up for the lack of a big budget needed to create a beautiful, engrossing and memorable game.

I believe The Last Oricru is worth your time because it offers a truly interesting way of shaping its story. But first, the developers have to eliminate tons of bugs and fix the game's performance. Only then it will be a good RPG.

You can't deny Gotham Knights is a spectacle, provides high octane action, and an interesting storyline. It doesn't work great all the way through, but not every game has to be a complex, mindblowing experience. Sometimes accessibility is where all the fun is.

FIFA 23 shows that EA still knows how to make a good football game that should please the fans. It may not be a perfect goodbye to the series - gameplay has its issues and the game's strong "TikTok vibe" can worry a bit, but there's no denying that it definitely is a good game.

All these great visuals, puzzles, and dialogues create a really great video game that doesn't have to be ashamed of its roots. Return to Monkey Island is more than simply a nostalgia act. It has its individuality.

War Mongrels is a great game with a raw vision of World War II. Fans of Commandos series should be satisfied, history buffs will find some interesting facts, and all gamers will get an original story about redemption and a really solid gameplay.

Temtem is enjoyable, pretty, and has cool combat, but it’s hardly amazing. It’s not unique, nor is it a real MMO.

Soul Hackers 2 turned out quite pleasant a game, yet I'm also fully aware it's one that will be completely forgotten once other, similar games appear.

Thymesia is for people who cut their teeth on the soulslike genre, have a dozen free hours, and really want to see what it’s all about.

The new version of Destroy All Humans 2 is painfully mediocre that nevertheless manager to keep me entertained for a while.

F1 Manager 2022 seems to not have left Early Access entirely. There’s still much to improve, but you have to remember that this is the very first edition of the game – and as such, it lays solid foundations for the future.

Splatoon 3 is simply a very good game that can be, however, considered a bit too derivative. But if I were to rate this game without the context of the prequels, the impression would be quite excellent.

Steelrising presents no challenge for veterans of the soulslike genre, even complete beginners should do just fine. The game itself, apart from pretty graphics and a cool idea, doesn't offer much - world building is so-so and the story promised in the promotional materials is absent.

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.

Saints Row got rebooted in a way that should appeal to anyone, meaning it's very safe. And as such, it doesn't interest me in any way. It is a perfect example of a mediocre title - play & forget.

Cult of the Lamb is a very solid, pleasant rougelite game with unforgiving gameplay and some brutal sequences that will leave an impression only once. And it has a fair base price. But it’s NOT for kids.

South of the Circle tempts gamers with pretty, stylized graphics, a promise of a movie-like experience, and an emotional storyline. And it delivers.

Two Point Campus forgives a lot and offers pure fun. This game sucks you in fast and makes it easy to forget about the world around you.
