A must not only for every lover of the genre, but of detective fiction in general. The dense atmosphere and inexplicable mysteries are even more pervasive in the new version, and so even replaying this adventure game is a clear choice. [Issue#317]

You progress through the main story through dungeons that need to be unlocked with a certain number of earned wands. This number gradually increases. But if you enjoy running around a wonderfully designed world with goofy humor and funny characters, you'll probably forgive the game some repetitiveness. [Issue#317]

If the open-world concept had been better utilized and if the writers had added more interesting characters to the story, Infinite could have easily been one of the best Halo games ever. The shootouts are highly entertaining and the open world brings new tactical possibilities. The multiplayer is just as good, being slightly faster than before. [Issue#317]

The unassuming act hides a few hours of pleasant, soothing fun, where you don't have to stress with difficult enemies or overly complex puzzles. [Issue#317]

The overall impression of the game is also helped by the music background. Headphones are a must and take the experience up a few notches. We must not forget the graphics, which with their spare, gloomy reality, illustrate the almost ceremonial atmosphere of the individual chapters. [Issue#317]

Despite its difficulty, or perhaps because of it, it pushes all the right buttons for an epic cooperative experience. So if you've got a bunch of friends up for regular trips to the underground, the atmosphere will instantly and definitively absorb you. [Issue#317]

The creators from Modern Storyteller, have done what others can't - they have managed to turn a successful modification into a standalone game that is receiving acclaim on all sides. Excellent production values (especially for an indie game) meet with well-crafted and original game design to create a truly unique experience. [Issue#317]

Definitely not a bad game. It handles its mechanics perfectly, and as long as it doesn't try to talk at you, you'll enjoy it. It's the first step on the road to new games with Pokémon on the cover, and the good sales could be the main reason to continue similar work and experimentation. [Issue#317]

God of War is more or less a game for everyone who is not afraid of action gameplay and appreciates good narrative and production quality. It's also great to watch, so it can be recommended to extended family members over the series. [Issue#317]

The game is fun to play, the combat is fun, the plot is fine, the twists are unpredictable, it’s functionally consistent (it can be used as a gallery of good practice examples when teaching game design), and it beats like a well-stitched heart made of several mammals inserted into a robot with a human head and an endless sense of humor. You'll laugh, you'll cry, this game will change your life, Bernard said, and I agree. [Issue#317]

Horizon has enchanted me again. After a slow start, a graphically beautiful, sophisticated sequel comes, polished in every aspect, and underscored by a great soundtrack on top of that. The sequel was simply a success. Everything that worked before works even slightly better now. [Issue#317]

The PC version already has the improved textures from the PS5 version, but sometimes you'll just notice crappy textures, environments or NPCs that haven’t fully loaded yet, and of course image tearing in some not-so-frequent moments. The PC version is good, but personally I'd reach for the PS5 version which just runs smoother. [Issue#317]

The action moves at a pleasantly fast pace. The furious jumble of pixels is one of the highlights of the whole game, especially with the help of the imaginative design. Content-wise, the game is virtually impossible to fault. Moreover, most of the campaign parameters are randomly generated, including the spells. Thus, no new game is exactly the same, thanks to the variety of game scenarios. [Issue#318]

The excellent story campaign, which is an audiovisual feast, can now be played on a higher difficulty level. This is challenging enough for even experienced players, but never frustrating. For those interested in getting into the raid early, it's also a welcome way to avoid a lengthy grind in the pursuit of a desired level. [Issue#318]

It's nice to switch off and enjoy the joy of movement, spoiled by a few poorly placed checkpoints. It's nice to slaughter hordes of demons in generic arenas with a small arsenal of weapons. It's nice to occasionally save a world that you yourself have thrown into terrible trouble. We all have a little Lo Wang in us. [Issue#318]

Gran Turismo 7 has a lot of good and plenty of great. The use of DualSense and the particularly well-tuned loading is exemplary, and there's a huge amount of work behind the game, with a lot of detail that's almost hard to believe at times. [Issue#318]

This is a great logic game that can stump even experienced puzzle solvers. Surprisingly, the game also has a story, which you will gradually uncover by collecting shiny dice relics. [Issue#318]

Elden Ring is simply a game that the player naturally adapts to their own style of play. Challenging at times, vicious at others, but mostly incredibly fun. The enjoyable pace makes the hours of play pass by like water, and each path opens up a few more, only to come together again after a fair amount of exploration before the next big reveal. [Issue#318]

You're in charge of taking care of your ship, so you drive it, cool it, repair it and figure out how to progress together. As a reward, it will take you through a beautiful environment to somewhere far over the horizon where you might find a new home. As well as the perfectly crafted splash of waves, the sound of the wind and the creaking of the remnants of civilization, there's some amazing music to accompany your journey through the silent world. [Issue#318]

The visuals are mediocre, the characters are strangely stiff in their faces, the animals appear plastic. Still, the game fulfills many expectations and offers the question - who will judge you when your conscience is silent? [Issue#318]

Although the Immortal Empires format, which will combine all three games into one large map, was not yet available at the time of review, the world itself is large even in the individual parts. Its treatment and variety of climatic zones and chaotic crevasses deserve high praise, and the freedom of creative license has been used to the fullest by the authors at Creative Assembly in this regard as well. [Issue#318]

A great title that manages to tell a gripping political thriller while entertaining you with great tactical battles that are simple at the core but offer a wide range of possibilities. A great, slow, relaxing game to keep your brain occupied. [Issue#319]

Why is it a great game? If you grit your teeth, Weird West offers fantastic gameplay and a very original take on the story. Don't be afraid of it. Don't be afraid to go west and grow with the strange land. [Issue#319]

The graphics stick to the boundaries set by its predecessor and only improve and smooth out. Although everything takes place in a dark fantasy world drowning in fog, the depiction of the world in watercolors makes the game almost beautiful. [Issue#319]

The game obviously tries not to keep you needlessly long in a single level and is, as is traditional in the series, fairly accessible to players of all ages and abilities, so that it only asks for a challenge at specific moments. It's a shame that those great imaginative worlds and cool puzzles aren't used more. [Issue#319]

The game builds on a familiar foundation but isn't afraid to experiment, an aspect that the slightly stagnant Pokémon franchise should adopt and dig into its core mechanics. Coromon simply bets on variation, and the bet pays off. [Issue#319]

Before the fox finds a way to return home from the planet Caramel, you'll enjoy a relaxing adventure game with magical visuals and a violence-free story. It's just a shame that the game is disrupted by a stereotype at the end. [Issue#319]

The tactical part works great, and when you're not fighting, there's something to do on the ship as well. Warp drive repair, shield upgrades, barracks expansion. The bombarded planets look nice, the models could have been given a bit more space. But once you put the helmet on in the barracks, the epic feeling is back. [Issue#319]

A certain repetitiveness in the battle system is broken by the other phase of the game, in which you upgrade your castle and your knights. The game has gone through a lot of delays, but the final product is definitely worth the attention of players of turn-based strategy games and dark fantasy alike. [Issue#319]

The game has a very fast pace, so demotivation due to frequent repetition of levels does not occur. This is also due to the attractive visuals and perfect musical background, which gives Revita the hallmark of a fun futuristic chill game. [Issue#319]

Beautiful 120 fps, razor-sharp edges and an epic soundtrack create an atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife. And when a playthrough is finally successful, you can't help but pat yourself on the back and keep playing. [Issue#319]

Additional variability in gameplay, however, is provided by a decent number of ship types, which was the biggest shortcoming of the preliminary version. Now the game contains around ten ship classes. In addition, the internal layout of each individual ship within a class is different. So you don't have to worry about running into the exact same vessel twice in dozens of hours of play. [Issue#320]

As far as graphics go, it has a very nice color palette and is mostly old school pixel graphics. The effects and lighting are very nice, but at times they can be cluttered in the heat of battle, causing you to miss hard-won loot. In the end, though, Loot River is a very addictive title that is a joy to fall into time and time again. [Issue#320]

The developers have done a good job of balancing a nice visual appearance with the low power requirements of iron. There is also good use of the fact that no one knows what the universe looks like. The colours, textures and spaceships look believable and the moving parts look like they are supposed to move. Not forgetting the soundtrack, which has just the right vibe for intergalactic battles and enhances the atmosphere of stellar infinity. [Issue#320]

The game brings a rather careful evolution and is not that different from the fourth installment. Everything has been taken a step further, including the graphics, controls and even the haptic response of the controller. Which, on the one hand, is fine, because it's still a hell of a fun and polished simulator of a WWII saboteur and sniper. [Issue#320]

It's a great game if you don't want to play too long against a pretty erratic AI. It's disappointing to not be able to control the goalie as well. The online features are excellent. Plus there's the promise of an expanding range of available Nintendo characters for free. A perfect choice for parties. [Issue#320]

The game's true action peaks are not in the boss parts (where it's more about epicentres of frustration), but in the mass brawls that match the best scenes from films like Raid or Kill Zone. Actually, it's even better, because here you are in the lead role and you take everyone on in a very personal and dynamic and vigorous way. [Issue#320]

The game has great controls. Everything is clearly visible, despite the brutal turmoil all around. A harsh critic might be able to point out the lack of a map, but the question is whether the lack of the ability to get your bearings quickly wasn't an intended part of the dark game. And if the blood, madness and tentacles weren't enough, you can jump into Endless mode and experience it all again, and even more directly! [Issue#320]

I'm bothered by the bland story of the world's destruction, which was vehemently influenced by the online nature and spirit of the game or the inability to change the camera. The game looks and runs very well, and you can also adjust the graphics settings on more powerful devices. I'd leave the disdain for the online elements of Diablo Immortal to the eternally doubting and overlooking, because just as you can recognize a good poem, you can recognize a fundamentally good game. [Issue#320]

Ultimately, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 represents the pinnacle of the series, both gameplay-wise and narratively. The characters are another highlight of the game. They are well-drawn, with only a small amount of formulaicness. [Issue#321]

Each feature in the second installment has a purpose, a meaning, but most importantly it works as a whole. It brings a very playable combination of western and horror and is definitely worth playing even for those who are not too fond of turn-based games. [Issue#321]

The game is an homage to board games, but also to classical literature. The lack of graphical glitz is compensated by quality texts, well-written characters and stories that do not lack surprising twists and themes typical for the cyberpunk genre. [Issue#321]

The large amount of features requires more complex controls, which can be confusing at first. In addition to disgruntled students, other problems such as mischief makers, a hostile witch and nasty weather will plague your university. And especially a lack of funding. [Issue#321]

The game makes a fantastic impression at first and second glance. Despite the unintuitive user interface, Way of the Hunter is a beautifully crafted hunting simulator that can rightfully take its place at the top of its genre. [Issue#321]

The game shows that console ports have really come a long way. Thanks to the improved graphics on PC, it still looks great four years after release. And best of all: it's still just as fun. [Issue#321]

Even the basic balanced alternation between boss slaying expeditions and tending your sheep will provide hours of fun, maybe even dozens of hours. And there are even more things to do in the game, including mini-games like fishing or playing backgammon. [Issue#321]

The faithfully rendered, authentically impoverished setting goes a bit against the more magical technologies that accompany the cat's adventures. Suddenly, the game is left with nothing more than the atmosphere of each area, which fortunately in Stray's case still means a hell of a lot. [Issue#321]

In co-op or challenge mode, a quiet seance during which you could listen to your favorite podcast is transformed into a more dramatic experience, adding another level of complexity to the otherwise fairly repetitive gameplay. [Issue#321]

It tries too hard to be a game and present as many different cheating techniques as possible in the cards. If the cheats were fewer, or presented in a less frequent and more consistent sequence, Card Shark would be a complete original hit, not just a beautiful visual novel with quick time events. [Issue#321]

What sets the game apart from other massacre games like Doom, however, is the fact that weapons and your accuracy aren't the only factors affecting your ability to destroy. That X factor is in fact the music, which serves not only as an atmospheric backdrop but also as a crucial mechanic. [Issue#322]

Admittedly, even though the story is linear, the world in which it takes place feels very alive thanks to the cheerful characters saying various quips, but also thanks to the various texts you find and learn more about Silesia in 1428 as you read them. [Issue#322]

All I can promise you is that if you start looking for Marissa Marcel, you won't be able to get her out of your head, which is actually a pretty big compliment in today's blizzard indistinguishable games. [Issue#322]

If you're in the mood for a delightfully disturbing one-shot with an original walkthrough, with its cute style and horror touch, it's perfect for gloomy autumn evenings. [Issue#322]

The game features excellent voice acting, which will have you shaking your head in bliss at the English village accent. Apart from the voice acting, the other audio components don't disappoint either, with the music and ambient environmental sounds wonderfully adding to the oppressive atmosphere, and more than once you'll be scared stiff. [Issue#322]

It's an amazing game that proves just how much can be achieved with a simple but carefully tuned gameplay loop. I rested and thought about how long not to, and if you need to clear your head every now and then, I highly recommend it, especially on Switch where it's freshly released. [Issue#322]

The game is a cinematic experience that could make a rock emotional, offering newcomers and seasoned zombifiers alike the chance to experience that jaw-dropping, heart-pounding feeling. [Issue#322]

You get to enjoy each race in real time, with highlights of the most exciting action and commentary from Will Buxton. And that's what this game is all about - the authentic experience of driving your own stable. That's all you need. [Issue#322]

The game deserves to be called one of the best point-and-click adventure games of recent times. It continues the narrative and completes the old story to general satisfaction. It blends tradition with innovation and isn't afraid to reckon with both its own legacy and the genre as a whole. [Issue#322]

A collection of two excellent games that offer a total of around twenty-five hours of quality entertainment. The script is excellent, the gameplay has its flaws but is not frustrating, and the dated graphics are in many ways offset by the beautifully designed locations, excellent character animation and atmosphere. [Issue#323]

If you're familiar with animated films like A Bug's Life, Antz or Ant Bully, you'll be no stranger to the game's setting. Plus, if you like the aforementioned films and would like to experience first-hand what it's like to survive in a world where a dandelion stalk is the size of a hundred-year-old lime tree, Grounded may be the game for you. [Issue#323]

The game's greatest strength is definitely its brilliant wordless narrative, where you piece together the fate of a dead civilization and the creature you play as in your head. Scorn is an experience that any fan of oppressive atmospheres and rotting flesh should not miss. [Issue#323]

Sparks of Hope is an interesting sequel to the first game, and even though it has its flaws, you'll still have a great time and enjoy the vast majority of the tactical battles. [Issue#323]

Great follow-up. It's another story about the tragic fate of two siblings. It doesn't bring anything groundbreakingly new, but it improves on what worked and surprised in the first volume, and because of that, it still entertains. [Issue#323]

I can't help but tip my hat to the entire Santa Monica team. The deeper you delve into the game, the more you'll be drawn into the stunning story of a father and son against the backdrop of perhaps history's most horrific war. Throw in some casually endearing humour, great and fluid gameplay, and wrap it all up with an amazing audiovisual experience. [Issue#323]

The levels are well designed. Even better, however, are the shootouts themselves, in which you mow down hordes of varying enemies, be they Imperial Guardsmen, Occultists or other orcs who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The whole thing is also accompanied by an excellent soundtrack, and even more amazing voice acting. [Issue#323]

It's getting harder and harder to find revolutionary elements without expanding the NHL itself. But despite these challenges, this year's edition of virtual hockey has something going for it and offers surprisingly great gameplay. [Issue#323]

Has it been a while since the last roguelike game came out and you're already feeling the need to fight off the withdrawal symptoms with another hit? Oakenfold can be a solid challenge even on the easiest difficulty. Too bad they didn't get around to better rendering the game world, which would have definitely been worth it. [Issue#324]

The wide variety of activities will keep you playing for hours, as long as you overcome the initial disorientation of the tabs and panels you need to follow and don't get annoyed by the repetitive funk-tinged music. [Issue#324]

Whichever path you choose, any can lead you to absolute control of Europe, and therefore the endgame. [Issue#324]

The only criticism I can make of the game is that the difficulty is quite high, and if you don't think about your actions, you'll soon be mopping floors instead of driving a space station. [Issue#324]

You can also enjoy the game on your own, as the game searches for mission partners automatically, or you can play against a bot. However, since it is mainly a coop action, it will always be better with friends. [Issue#324]

It's a hell of an entertaining horror ride that should not be ignored by any admirers of slapstick humor. [Issue#324]

In the end, the upsides far outweigh the downsides or omissions, and the creators' concentration on improving the modes that earn the most money is logical. As a whole, however, the game works well. [Issue#324]

The fights are very specific, tactical and surprisingly fun and often challenging, even knowing that a fallen hero can be put back on his feet on the spot during a fight and used in the rest of the encounter. [Issue#324]

Let's be honest, there's really no bigger title to compete in the FPS genre at the moment, both in terms of the sometimes mediocre content and this year's very polished graphics. [Issue#324]

The game offers an incredible amount of options, and if you don't enjoy the campaign, you can have a blast in the elaborate battle mode, where you'll command up to hundreds of warriors and work together to destroy enemies, protect villages or conquer castles. [Issue#324]

It's just still an overblown, entertainingly inappropriate, B-grade, sexist action ride that doesn't let anything tie it down or control it. [Issue#324]

If you like the late Middle Ages, detective stories, interesting stories, don't mind reading, this is the perfect game for you. [Issue#324]

It's still a mix of platformer and shooter, but some missions are focused on combat, figuring out ways to advance, surviving in a diabolical arena, painting giant statues, sneaking around, finding keys, and even using your weird sidekick to activate and deactivate various mechanisms. [Issue#324]

Dragonflight is still de facto at the beginning of its life cycle. Still, one can't help feeling that we desperately needed an adventure like this. With all its pros and cons. [Issue#325]

You'll be easily drawn in by the incredibly addictive gameplay and rules, which may not be revolutionary or surprising, but they are meticulously thought out. The meat here is the fun gameplay in the style of one more try. Lovers of the rogue-like genre or simple but precisely polished short games will not be disappointed. [Issue#325]

The developer cleverly uses an unsettling, nerve-wracking soundtrack that does the most to flush adrenaline into the bloodstream. The Trenches is a short but very substantial horror game, not for everyone, but it has a lot to offer. [Issue#325]

Robots, humans and cyborgs look beautiful and believable. The environments are wonderfully detailed and cartoonish. The sound design is of course brilliant, as it is one of the cornerstones of the whole concept. In addition to original music, the game features famous band names such as Nine Inch Nails, The Black Keys and The Prodigy. [Issue#325]

A relaxing, well-designed card roguelike. Simple, complex with clever mechanics. Beautiful and sleek in appearance, pleasant to listen to. These are all attributes of Dungeon: Faster & Deadlier. If you're looking for a casual game that doesn't require a commitment, but is also very happy to entertain and joke around, make you think a bit about where to click next, and which of the unenhanced cards to use experience points on, you've found it. [Issue#325]

Dead Space is a beautiful example of what a remake of a game should be. Something classic, something new, but most importantly, a modern doorway into a classic that will be enjoyed by both veterans and new swathes of potential fans. [Issue#325]

Hogwarts Legacy is definitely a beautiful-looking game that doesn't have a groundbreaking story, but does have a beautiful world, a fun combat system, broomstick flying, and of course an incredible amount of side quests and missions. [Issue#325]

Hogwarts Legacy is definitely a beautiful-looking game that doesn't have a groundbreaking story, but does have a beautiful world, a fun combat system, broomstick flying, and of course an incredible amount of side quests and missions. [Issue#325]

The game is ultimately a unique version of a simulator in which everyone will find what they enjoy. It offers a unique combination of complex mechanics and simplicity, bringing the genre to life. [Issue#325]

The game follows the style of its older sibling, and once again you'll be treated to absolutely stunning graphics, a compelling narrative style, tons of historical facts and your old friends. These are backed up by new heroes, and although some take different sides, they let you live their wartime lives through stories. [Issue#326]

But for its atmosphere alone, it shouldn't leave fans of the Yakuza series or casual fans of Japanese culture in the dark. It's solid entertainment and a great way to fill a hole in your gaming education, as there's a good chance you missed the original 2014 installment. [Issue#326]

Praise also goes to the implementation of the story in general. Moreover, the engaging storyline can teach non-hunters the principles of ethical and safe hunting or the necessity of maintaining balance in nature. [Issue#326]

The graphical representation of the individual characters must also be highlighted. The game is not perfect, but it is chillingly captivating in places. [Issue#326]

As well as strategists, World War II history buffs will appreciate the models and types of vehicles used in the game. [Issue#326]

The game puts together a solid remake of the original game with a great presentation and essentially quite a lot of new content, including an excellent epilogue that will be enjoyed by a wide range of players from kids to experienced gamers. [Issue#326]

The new Spellforce shows off flying colonial turrets, tons of interesting quests and tactical battles. All wrapped up in a nice audiovisual package. [Issue#326]

It's a great game that will keep you entertained for a long time, has minimal bugs and its combat system and characters will grab you by the heart. [Issue#326]

The main problem at the moment is that it lags behind its eight-year-old predecessor in every way except graphics. [Issue#326]

The first hours are spent in laboratory corridors, but eventually the game opens up wide and actually mirrors another game with the numbers 451 in its DNA, which is the closest to it - the modern Prey. It's also the one that best shows what the game does masterfully, and where it stumbles on its ambitions. [Issue#326]
