The Anniversary Collection, which includes all the games from the classic period of the series where you can experience different versions, is a package that respects its history. Hands down the best way to experience Wonder Boy.

Horizon Forbidden West is another dose of goodness for those who can't get enough of it, but unfortunately it's too short.

While far from Krafton's AAA gaming ambitions, [Redacted] shows a lot of potential for the company to release a high-end product.

Epic Mickey is a remake that fixes the problems of the original games. If you like platformer games or Disney characters, you'll definitely enjoy it. If you like both, this will be a great treatment.

Aren't you tired of playing the same kind of metroidvanias? Then let me invite you to the colourful, psychedelic world of Ultros. Don't forget to take your hoe and shovel with you.

Next gen graphics and presentation is now among us, next gen game design on the other hand, will be running late.

It's impossible for someone who likes Papers Please not to enjoy Contraband Police. Similar mechanics, similar story, similar depth... but all in 3D! There's also open-world driving, side missions, hidden treasures and gunfights. One of the nice surprises of the year.

Don't mind me complaining about its monotony, a game with a similar sense of action and exploration comes along once in a blue moon. Fans of sci-fi set in space should not miss it.

Door Kickers 2 is a game that has successfully left the early access period behind and has managed to make its followers happy with its full version. I recommend those who love the tactical strategy genre to give it a chance.

War Sails opens a new chapter in our journey with Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. With its nautical focus, the update transforms the game and enhances its potential for future development. Not only does it offer a refreshing experience for returning players, but it also has the potential to attract new players to the Mount & Blade series.

While Team Ninja's first open-world game felt dated and same as other open-world games in some ways, incredibly successful gameplay, which the team has now mastered, and the fun-to-follow script and characters made me overlook these shortcomings.

EA Sports FC 24 has again taken advantage of being the only football game on the market. However, it's important not to overlook the areas where the game thinks about the player. Who knows, maybe one day, if we are a good boy, EA might even come up with a player-friendly soccer game.

Although the difficulty curve varies greatly, Darwin's Paradox has become one of the platform games I've enjoyed the most in recent years. Since there's no new MGS game on the horizon, I'd suggest giving this "Tactical Octopus Action" a chance.

A nice surprise with enjoyable battles, a well-presented story and good graphics.

The most innovative Nioh game to date, but if you’re already burned out on the formula from the first two games, it still might not hook you.

It's a good game that everyone who doesn't hate Jumspcare and loves psychological horror should give it a chance.

Rough Justice: '84 is a beautiful game with a nostalgic feel of '80s crime TV series, and with its variety of mini-games and intriguing storyline, putting your fate in the hands of dice never gets boring.

It seems that the producers decided to take a different path instead of making a sequel to Ash of Gods: Redemption. As a result, a nice hybrid of card game and turn-based strategy emerged.

With its atmosphere, the story it tells (and the one it leaves untold but makes you feel), its characters, puzzles, and many other details, this game carries the very DNA of the Little Nightmares series. Had the developers dared to step a bit further beyond safe waters, it could have been a much better game. Still, it gives us plenty of reasons to look to the future of the series with confidence.

System Shock is back after 30 years with a faithful remake. And thanks to its new graphics and modernized mechanics, it looks better than ever and plays more enjoyable than ever. It would have been great if they overhauled the combat system and brought it closer to today's standards.

Broken Sword fans can pick up this new version of the game with their eyes closed. For adventurers looking for an introduction to the series, there's no better place to start.

You'll laugh your eyes out, guaranteed. Ultra Deluxe has new endings, new content but keeps the same sense of humour and everything that made original game a hit.

Blood on Crystal provides a fitting finale to Atomic Heart while also laying a foundation that gives us hope for the future of the series.

One of the best examples of the real-time tactical stealth genre is now available on Xbox.

It's a highly enjoyable game, the kind of game you should have on hand. It never hurts to exercise your brain between long game sessions.

Black Myth Wukong offers fluid combat mechanics and an impressive atmosphere set in an epic mythological world. Despite some gameplay limitations, it manages to be one of the most engaging action games of the year.

The reimagined version offers a brand-new experience by providing a fresh, more modern perspective on the classic DQ7 rather than trying to replace it, and it positions itself among the series’ successful entries. I just wish the overly easy difficulty had been tuned a bit higher and the missing content had been included as well.

Loco Motive is one of the best options if you want to play a funny, sweet, old-school point and click adventure game full of charming characters.

If you like both rhythm and action games, you'll deeply love Hi-Fi Rush. If the content had been a bit fuller and the focus had been on the action where the game really shines, it would be a strong contestant for game of the year awards.

If you're a fan of classic shounen Digimon vibes, sixth-generation JRPGs, or monster-collecting games, then Time Stranger is definitely a game you shouldn't miss.

Although Milestone insistently claims that they 'rebuilt the game from the ground up,' this is still a Milestone Supercross game, aside from a few changes. This time, they've focused a bit too much on 'simulation' - whether you like that or not is up to you.

What we have in our hands is potentially the best Pokemon game in history. If the optimization issues had not undermined the enjoyment of the game, we might be talking about very different things. However, I have great hope that the game will improve in the future. If I had just one wish from Jirachi, it would be for Scarlet & Violet to run smoothly. Don't be in a hurry to purchase, but if performance issues are solved, as a PokeManiac, I would say don't miss this experience.

It's an almost flawless port. Don't ask whether "Can you play a tactical strategy game on a console?", just get it and play.

There's no doubt that Lightfall is not the best expansion, but it's far from being the worst, thankfully. If I had to formulate it, it's the arithmetic average of Beyond Light and The Witch Queen. We're used to Bungie going back and forth like a Mehter Company, which is exactly why I haven't given up hope for The Final Shape.

Mafia: The Old Country has a great story to tell. As it unfolds, it captivates you with the breathtaking beauty of Sicily, never breaking its cinematic flow and staying true to its course. In these days when we long for linear games, it shines like a sun rising over Messina.

Although it does not promise long hours, Pepper Grinder is definitely an alternative worth checking out for those who love platform games. We have a "delicious" package with various sections, cute pixel art design and ambient music.

Nintendo's formula of bringing its past archive to the present day has once again yielded successful results, resulting in a role-playing game that tastes like sweet, sweet strawberry ice cream.

Don't Nod's best work yet. The impressive story, the immersive period atmosphere, the well-written characters and stories, and the smooth and enjoyable action are blended together, and it works very well.

V Rising, now out of early access, is much more addictive than befor, albeit with some minor rough edges.

Tinymice Entertainment is a team that knows how to manage resources well. With Dice & Fold, we can clearly see that they are successful in spreading these capacities to games that look and feel different. This enemy-slaying game, which is played only by rolling dice and opening cards, is very successful in both creating a sense of achievement and entertainment without tiring your mind.

You know how sometimes you really love a dish and say, “Everything is perfectly balanced, the sauce is amazing! Compliments to the chef!” Then the chef gets excited and says, “If you liked the sauce, let me add more,” and pours another ladle of it over an already well-balanced meal... Assassin’s Creed is that kind of game. It would’ve been better without that final ladle - the main course gets a bit drowned in the sauce, but you still want to eat it.

If you like the NBA, if you are fond of basketball games, there are no alternatives, you will definitely play this game. But beyond being the only alternative to play, it also offers good reasons such as the Jordan Challenge and NBA Eras. It definitely deserves a chance.

Children of Silentown tells a very gripping and intriguing story accompanied by eye-catching hand-drawn graphics. The mechanic of solving some puzzles by singing a song have added a nice innovation to the game (reminded me of Loom) and although it has some troubles with a certain puzzle type, I can easily say that it provides a satisfactory progression for players who like this genre.

Even though this remaster/remake version of Ninja Gaiden 2, which bursts into the scene like a firecracker, isn't the ultimate version and still carries its archaic flaws like a badge, it's INCREDIBLY fun to play. This is the kind of pure entertainment I want from games, don't miss it.

Rosewater is a highly original adventure game that lets you write your own story through the choices you make and the actions you take. And if you're a fan of westerns, you won’t even notice how quickly time flies on the road.

Tarsier picks up where it left off. They've once again done a great job with the atmosphere and storytelling. The only drawback is that they've been stingy this time, making the game quite short. It would have been better if they had made the main game a bit longer instead of saving a significant portion of the content for expansions.

Last Epoch is an ARPG that has great ideas on paper but often stumbles when trying to implement them. But if you somehow persist in climbing that first ramp, the rest goes downhill anyway.

Rogue City is not only the best RoboCop game ever made, but also one of the best (titanium-grade) movie adaptations ever made.

Amidst the swirling questions about the difficulties encountered before its release—whether it would be canceled or if it would ever come—13 years later, a new Fantasy Life game has finally arrived, and it was well worth the wait. If you're tired of similar games in the genre, Fantasy Life is a fantastic alternative.

Even though the new content added was far from satisfying, it was quite enjoyable to play Beyond Good & Evil years later on modern systems with better graphics and without any problems. Despite all the time that has passed, it offers you hours of fun with its gameplay and story. Those who will meet Jade and Pey'j for the first time are lucky. Old fans won't find a better excuse to finish the game again.

Even though there are some balance issues, it's still a very strong comeback for Jagged Alliance series.

Sunday Gold manages to combine two different genres beautifully and makes you curious about the details of its world and want to see more. Frankly, I can't wait to embark on new adventures with Frank, Sally and Gavin and get to know this world better.

Playing the original, which still holds up well, with today's graphic standards probably didn't even occur to many of us, but it felt nice to be reunited with the brothers.

Anomaly Agent takes us back to the 16-bit days with its smooth gameplay, eye-catching pixel graphics and catchy music. It also manages to keep you interested with its witty dialogues and little surprises in every episode.

Mortal Kombat 1 has all the depth and technical detail a fighting game should have. Though I'd expect it to be more generous with content and different game modes to keep the player entertained.

A massive LEGO game fit for the massive Skywalker saga. However, it is quite annoying to go back and forth in this huge game and do the same things. Someone who is not very related to Star Wars may not deign to play after a few episodes.

By combining tactical gameplay with a deep and sophisticated scenario, Triangle Strategy became both a source of prestige for Square Enix and a great new IP that they will profit from in the future.

The Holy Gosh Darn may not reinvent the wheel, but it proves that all dogs go to heaven, and it does what it sets out to do very well. It stole my heart not only for its clever puzzles, but also for being the wittiest game I've played in a while.

Despite some shortcomings, Darktide is one of the most entertaining and promising co-op games of its kind in recent years.

At last W40K universe has a CRPG game. Even for those who are not W40K fans, this is a great game.

A must have in every metroidvania fan's game library.

I was really happy to see such an art-driven project come out of our country. Why shouldn’t we have our own GRIS in the coming years?

The bar raised with the Heat has reached the next level with Unbound. If the next NFS game manages to surpass Unbound, we can finally have that special NFS experience we expect.

Although there are some innovations like the Rewind mechanic, this is more basically a remake of the original Desktop Dungeons. That means if you played the original a lot, this will more or less feel the same. But if you are a roguelike lover who will meet Desktop Dungeons for the first time, you'll absolutely love it.

MultiVersus is one of the rare online competitive games that is fun even when you're not playing with your friends. That means you should definitely give it a chance even if your friends turn down your "let's play!" offers.

Platypus Reclayed is an unparalleled shoot 'em up with a play-dough aesthetic that appeals to both nostalgic gamers and those new to the genre. It stands out with its simple yet deep gameplay and fast-paced yet enjoyable design. Even if just for ten-minute sessions, it's a gem that deserves a place in every gamer's library. If only it had a good story, though. Modders, it's your turn!

The best way to write a love letter to a game is to remake it years later, staying faithful to its essence.

It's essentially a classic Yakuza game, but the samurai theme added a completely different flavor. Arguably one of the best games in the series.

As Kyle Crane’s story continues, action-packed hours of zombie-bashing await you. What we have here is a tight, well-crafted game.

Treasures, even simple ship battles, slicing through pirates with a sword... It has everything fun about piracy... And on top of that, there's Goro Majima! All it's missing is my Guybrush.

It doesn't rewrite the Mario Party rules, but it refines them. Highly recommended if you have 90 minutes to play with friends and irritate each other.

Moving Out 2 really is one of the funniest party games you can play. It's more or less suitable for all ages and is unlikely to drive you crazy and ruin friendships. It's colorful and has something new in almost every level.

Like a Dragon Gaiden is a game that can make fans of the Yakuza series happy while also attracting new players. A beautiful bridge has been established between the past and future of the series.

CUE is a game that appeals to a wide audience - from complete newcomers to card games to seasoned veterans who’ve been immersed in them for years. On top of its broad appeal, it also features an extensive card pool and a sleek PC interface, making it an all-around standout.

Wildmender is not just an another survival game, it's a highly enjoyable game where we beautify a desert and embark on a personal journey along the way.

WRC has paid off for its long development process. There are more, longer stages, plenty of vehicles and various modes to keep you in the game. Once the technical pain is out of the way, there is no need to go back to Dirt Rally 2.0.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is a blessing for fans of the series. It not only presents the first three games of Lara Croft with all their additional packages, renewed graphics and controls, but also remains extremely faithful to the original. But this 'loyalty' may alienate some of the new generation of players.

The games industry needs more “crazies” like SUDA51. That said, the fact that so many original ideas have gone for years without being paired with truly top-tier gameplay makes it hard to tell whether the fault lies with the producers or with the man himself. The only thing I do know is this: the day he manages to combine this magnificent absurdity and presentation with high-caliber gameplay, his name will be etched in gold in the industry’s Hall of Fame.

Although ending feels a bit rushed, 9 hours I spent adventuring with Milda was pure joy. Crowns and Pawns perfectly manages to combine classic point and click adventure gameplay with modern look.

If you played and loved FF7 Remake, do not miss the opportunity to meet Zack.

One of the most comprehensive and best W40K games ever made, a timeless and brilliant strategy game that truly deserves a better remaster.

Pillars of the Earth is a beautiful game that everyone who loves narrative adventure games should experience. The visuals, the voice acting and the way it adapts this epic story is really good.

Their choice of the Roman Empire as the main theme, along with setting the game in a relatively peaceful historical period, is an apt move. Anno 117 is an enjoyable strategy game that captures the spirit of the Anno series—feeling both familiar and refreshing, while introducing new elements that bring fresh energy to the franchise.

Saying that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a bad game takes courage. However, unfortunately, there are things that the first game did better than the second one (especially in terms of equipment). Yes, that includes the PC port as well.

Berserk Boy manages to blend the spirit of retro platformers with modern yet familiar mechanics. You won't realize how you spent 6-8 hours with its high octane music and action sequences.
