The Mageseeker has consciously drawn its line. It didn't go overboard, but it made an enjoyable game within the known and familiar boundaries of the hack and slash genre. Not to mention the fact that it answers existing questions instead of further complicating the story of League of Legends.

It is not an easy task for a puzzle game to offer a lot of puzzles that stays true to its theme and make most of them enjoyable and rational. A Little to the Left achieves this.

If you are looking for a fast and enjoyable mobile card game to blow off some steam, look no further.

Even though I had zero expectations and was ready to be disappointed, I can easily say that High On Life turned out to be a very satisfying game, If you want to play an FPS which is dipped in some meta humor sauce and gameplay inspired by Metroid Prime and similar games High On Life is exactly what you are looking for. Of course if it's humor suits you, otherwise you may lower the score by a point or two.

Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! is one of the games that those who love detective games should check out. Those who like the first game will definitely like this one. Those who have not played the first game can also step into the World of Wilderness universe with this game. It seems like we will see more games set in Wilderness.

We don't have Bloodborne on PC, but we do have Hunt the Night, its Zelda-infused, pixelated version. Even in its current form where there are some difficulty spikes it's a game that will please those who love difficulty and challenge.

F1 Manager 24 may have some big problems but it still has a solid foundation. That's why it still can provide some very enjoyable moments.

LIMBO and INSIDE creator Jeppe Carlsen has done it again. With its unique world, successful puzzles and visuals reminiscent of Giger's style, COCOON manages to be one of the best indies of this year. The puzzles could have been a bit more challenging, though.

Solo developer René Rother not only brought an innovative approach to sniper games, but also put it in a fun form. Don't forget to look right, then left when bending your bullet.

If you’ve missed Simon as much as I have, you can nicely satisfy that longing with Simon the Sorcerer: Origins. It may not be a masterpiece or a genre-defining game, but it’s clear that it was made by a team deeply passionate about the series.

Aside from reactivating multiplayer and adding controller support, it’s a package Aspyr has released with minimal effort. But since its core is so good, if you enjoy party-based D&D RPGs, it still manages to be worth playing. A significant part of its score comes from that strong core anyway.

Blades of Fire is far from a masterpiece; it has graphical and technical weaknesses, with occasional noticeable shortcomings. However, thanks to smart gameplay decisions, masterfully crafted mechanics, and creative details, it manages to make you overlook most of these flaws. If only the development team had a bigger budget, these well-designed mechanics could have been backed by the same level of technical polish. Still, Blades of Fire succeeds in thoroughly pleasing fans of the genre—even surprising them at times. Despite its imperfections, it absolutely deserves to be played and given a chance.

Under normal circumstances, it would be a game I would recommend to any basketball fan with my eyes closed, but now it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth with its monetization model that pushes the limits of tolerance. Still, it's clearly the best basketball game to play right now.

If you like Machinarium-like adventure games, you have no chance to dislike Boxville. This is a short adventure game that endears itself with its puzzle balance and cute characters.

With Dawntrail, we take the first steps of the next decade in the story, but we have to honestly admit that it is a bit of a weak start. We will see what kind of story web they will weave over this.

Little Horror Studios has managed to bring a new perspective to such saturated genre. Although replayability is poor for now, I believe it will be solved in the future.

With four new planets to explore, coorful visuals and occasionally aggressive humor, Revenge of the Savage Planet is just as fun as the first one. But the monotonous combat mechanics and enemies that attack you almost non-stop can get tiresome after a while.

Stars in the Trash is a very sweet play that warms your heart, moves you in some scenes and puts a smile on your face in others. I wish it were longer.

It has a structure that takes you back to the classic XCOM days, and they've tried to offer an experience as close to its source of inspiration as possible. However, Xenonauts 2 is a game that hasn't fully realized its potential due to some fundamental issues that are still unresolved. Nevertheless, it's worth noting that it's one of the games that fans of the genre should check out.

If you're looking for a game that follows in the footsteps of Disco Elysium, Sovereign Syndicate is a good choice. With its steampunk London, colourful characters and intriguing story, it is a good book, I mean, game.

It squandered its chance to potentially be the best Formula game of recent years due to poor AI quality. However, with its driving dynamics, period-specific details, and immersive atmosphere, it still delivers a solid experience that will satisfy fans of the genre.

In terms of story and atmosphere, it's a fitting finale that continued the legacy of the “Dark Pictures Anthology” series, but technical difficulties and the ongoing awkwardness of the gameplay are annoying.

Turn-based superhero games are fun in concept. Capes has almost no shortage of fun. It' just difficulty level of the game rises very sharply and all of a sudden and forces you to do the same things and grind the same places.

If GSC had waited a little longer to release the game, the anomaly would not be so abundant. You may want to wait for a few more patches for much better experience.

A product that still has room for improvement, yet manages to entertain you quite well even at its current level - a solid value-for-money choice.

Scorn makes up for its mechanical deficiencies with its wonderful design. Whether that will be enough for you to enjoy is your judgment call.

The most up-to-date proof that Insomniac's Spider-Man franchise is holding up well. I wish it has a better pricing policy though. When it's on sale you can easily easily add +1 to the final score.

The Thaumaturge is a role-playing game that tries to go out of the ordinary with its intriguing plot, well-written dialogues, original characters and successful voiceovers. Travelling to 1905 Warsaw and experiencing the harsh conditions of that period first-hand adds a unique atmosphere to the game. However, the lack of enemy diversity, the weak detective mechanics, the simplicity of the side quests and some technical problems make it difficult to recommend it to those who are not hardcore fans of the genre.

Highly replayable and addictive, even though it makes you tear your hair out sometimes.

Wild Hearts is a real raw gem. It has all the ingredients to easily turn into a series that can challenge Monster Hunter. The only thing Koei Tecmo needs to do is polish it up a bit more, fill in the gaps and bring more content.

If you played it on the Wii, you might not see much in this version to justify the $60, but if you missed it like I did, this is definitely the best way to experience an original Kirby game.

With it's well-constructed time manipulation mechanics and amazing voiceovers, Eternal Threads is a must have for fans of story-driven game.

The games are good, MGS is good, the package is not bad... If they had a little makeover visually, it could have been perfect...

Switch Sports is a game that everyone in your family can enjoy. Just don't expect much more than that.

Those who remember only the good parts of the old platform games and don't want to face the harsh realities should not miss it.

It's an enjoyable turn-based strategy, but there's nothing striking about it that makes it stand out among other games in the genre.

The King's Dilemma draws attention with its details, makes the player think strategically and offer a fun gameplay. It is a nice example of the genre.

A pleasant touch to art. Thomas Waterzooi has once again managed to achieve an admirable work.

For those who like Portia or slow-moving, production-oriented games, a rich and full game awaits. But if you don't like the genre, you might get bored quickly.

Although it doesn't surpass Sniper Elite 5, it tells another story from the same era. At the moment, there's no better alternative where you can prevent the end of the world by clicking on heads. The online options, where you can join other people's games and hunt them down, are quite satisfying. Sniper Elite Resistance manages to live up to its name, neither falling short nor overdoing it.

On its own, Eiyuden Chronicle is a very successful game, a throwback to the golden age of the genre. However, it is a great risk for both players and itself that it does not offer anything new by swimming in completely guaranteed waters. Especially when you consider that Suikoden I & II HD Remaster is coming out soon.

If you're interested in driving around a small city full of wacky characters and doing absurd missions, and/or if you have fond memories of The Simpsons: Hit & Run, you're guaranteed to enjoy this fun-focused bite-sized game. If you ignore its shortcomings, of course...

Songs of Conquest manages to both satiate your Heroes of Might & Magic hunger and be its own unique game. Although the small number of classes and the restrictions on the number of soldiers are a bit annoying, it is at least as good as its predecessor in creating "let's have another round" addiction.

Even in its current state with plenty of issues, Rematch is the closest thing to a street football simulation. Despite all its flaws, it's been a long time since I've played a game this addictive.

If you're craving dark fantasy and want to lose yourself in an open world, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon isn't a bad game at all. That is if you can accept that it's a rough, raw experience that often feels like something out of a decade ago.

Depending on who you play Party Animals with, it can be a long-running game or a regret you'll forget after two days. Unfortunately this is the fate of all parties. While you're in a corner wondering why you attended, someone else may be having the night of their lives... Animals.

Pharaoh: New Era manages to preserve the essence of the game we loved years ago, but it is also notable for its shortcomings such as mini-map and army management. If the studio manages to address these shortcomings as promised, it can be a much better game. Still, that doesn't change the fact that at its core it's one of the best city-building simulations ever made.

Love Flab, don't upset Flab. Come back as good friends, alright sweetie? Look, they say they give a new Oroboro by the 30th level. Come on, run and get it now.

Karate Survivor is a very entertaining game with a very deepening. I just wish there were more levels.

The Gallery is a game that appeals to FMV lovers and can be played at least 4-5 times. However, it should be noted that it won't be the first alternative for those who are newcomers to the genre.

Although it doesn't add much to the first game, it still manages to give the same pleasure.

Currently it's a port with a lot of rough edges, but nothing that can't be fixed.

Although the action is extremely enjoyable, game stumbles in other areas. It's a direct purchase for the fans of the series, but others can wait for discounts.

A relatively successful blend of Dead Cells and Prince of Persia. Its music and acrobatic gameplay in particular promise a few enjoyable hours. However, the somewhat linear structure causes it to become repetitive rather quickly, and after a while, you don’t really see a reason to go for another run. It would benefit from being supported with DLCs.

Unfortunately, it didn't improve as much as expected during the early access period, and even regressed a bit, especially in the scenario mode. As it is, we have a good game, a strategy game that is fun to play. But it must be said that it failed a bit to meet expectations.

Pine Hearts invites you into its world with its sweet, tiny and sympathetic story.

A successful game that adds a different flavor to the Amnesia series. It promises a satisfying few hours for horror thriller fans. It is also a good starting point for those who aren't familiar with the genre.

RTS fans should definitely give Starship Troopers: Terran Command a chance, just don't expect too much.

Yooka-Replaylee has come a long way compared to the original game, and it has become a game that raises hopes for Playtonic Games' next game.

An action game that makes the best of being an orc and entertains without tiring you. Get it at the first discount.

A productive early access period, a developer who listens to the players and knows what it wants to do, and a bunch of good ideas coming together have resulted in a successful outcome.

A great alternative for those who want to experience Voyager’s journey back home firsthand. If you’ve watched the series and found yourself thinking "what if it had gone like this" here’s your chance to try it out. And even if you’re completely new to it, feel free to jump in and play. A solid space adventure awaits you.

Bleak Sword DX is a fun game to play 10 minutes before your online meeting, right before class, or while waiting for a friend to play with. Despite its flaws, you should give Bleak Sword DX a chance.

If you're not tired of seeing Gwent, it offers an enjoyable single player experience. Although its mechanics are not as complex as the original Gwent and Thronebreaker, its more simplified structure works in harmony with the Roguelike genre.

Although it has its problems, it's a game that can be as addictive as CoH 2 once you get used to it. The single-player mode is a bit shaky, but the multiplayer is promising.

It's great to see a dying franchise back on its feet, both with its beloved classic gameplay and new mechanics that feel fresh. One of the best games in the series.

I might not be able to recommend it blindly at its $40 price tag, but with its MENA regional pricing, its structure that feels closer to modern games, the refreshing elements in its combat, and of course its fluid gameplay, there’s really no excuse not to give it a look.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree tries to bring together a multitude of ideas within a single dark action RPG. In some areas, it delivers legendary results, while in others, it falls flat. If you enjoy a challenge and believe that 'as long as it's soulslike, it doesn't matter if it's rough around the edges,' I guarantee you'll spend hours filled with both love and frustration.

Nioh was Team Ninja’s take on the “Souls-like” genre and was pretty good at doing its own thing with it. Wo Long on the other hand is what you might call a “Sekiro-like” but it doesn’t set itself apart well enough from neither Sekiro, nor Nioh.

I can safely say that ground is suitable for playing football in FIFA 23's current state. However if we know EA they'll definitely change the game drastically to reshape FUT and I'm not sure if we'll like all those changes. That being said, FIFA 23 is your best option to satiate your hunger while the World Cup is approaching.

A highly enjoyable and entertaining multiplayer game that I would strongly recommend to fans of turn-based strategy and tabletop RPGs. Unfortunately, it doesn't have enough features for me to recommend it to those who don't already enjoy the genre.

Although City of the Wolves falls short of delivering the impactful finale one might expect from its story, it wins hearts with the quality of its combat engine and the way it embraces its own legacy. If only there weren’t that ridiculous Ronaldo and Ganacci nonsense.

I won't use big words like "Motocross games are back!" or "Extreme sports games are popular again!" but I can assure you MX vs ATV Legends is a step in the right direction despite some problems. It's a shame MX vs ATV Legends' next-gen version doesn't feel like next-gen though.

Despite it’s flaws, and low production value, FOBIA is a decent alternative to Resident Evil.

A survival horror game that starts off creepy, arouses curiosity, and sends chills down your spine, but loses its momentum halfway through: Cronos. You might come for the thrill, but you'll stay for the story.

Although it has become superficial in terms of strategy, Civilization has turned into a brand-new game waiting to be discovered. You'll spend hours on it and won't regret it.

If you ignore its minor flaws and focus on the world it depicts, the cuteness of the robots and the mind-bending puzzles, you'll easily lose track of time. I'm sure it will get even better with the first patch.

Armored Core VI is action packed and has great pacing yet the polishing is nowhere to be found. It’s basically a PS4 game with the same old mechanics of a PS3 era game. I love the atmosphere and story yet the visuals looks very old and characters are dull as hell. It’s a good comeback but not as grand as we expect from From Software standards.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is an extraordinary visual experience, allowing you to breathe in the atmosphere of a living planet. However, the scarcity and lack of variety in the action makes the pace very slow. Still, if you're a fan of the Far Cry games, you should give it a chance just for the gorgeous landscapes.

The Last Faith is a very challenging soulsvania game that doesn't bring much innovation to the genre, but as you play you'll realize you don't want to put it down.

Coffee Talk Episode 2 is definitely made only for those who have played and liked the first game. The same sincerity, the same sincerity continues; but the fact that everything is too the same can also bother you a little.

Had it been released in 2016, it might not have snatched the Game of the Year award from Overwatch, but despite everything, it manages to shout, 'I’m here, I’m right here!' with the game-making opportunities it offers players and its heart-pounding fights.

Exoprimal is a game that in the first hours makes you think "okay, it's a typical hero shooter" but then turns into a much better game, unfortunately a game that people will forget quickly because of Capcom's strange decisions. I wish it didn't end up like this.

3 Minutes to Midnight is a crazy, sometimes absurd adventure game with a very high production quality. It would have been more enjoyable if it hadn't drowned the whole game with dialogues and kept the pace though.

Although it falters in the storytelling department, it is a short but enjoyable steampunk adventure with its exquisite graphics and successful use of the essentials of the metroidvania genre.

A visual novel rated 17+ that will appeal to fans of the genre and the Famicom Detective Club series, and will be able to capture the general player audience with its story and visuals.

Planet of Lana was a game that promised a lot because of its visuals, but I couldn't get what I wanted in terms of gameplay and story.

Despite a great core loop and a few nice-feeling weapons, Dread Templar gets monotonous in a few hours and then it goes on for another ten. I'm quite sure hardcore fans of boomer shooters will love Dread Templar though.

Cannibal Abduction is a quality game that pays homage to PS1 era survival horror games. Especially fans of the era like me will feel at home.

The Call of Duty franchise seriously needs a break. With Black Ops 7, the series is practically screaming “WE’RE EXHAUSTED, PLEASE SAVE US.” The multiplayer side still manages to be fun thanks to the evolving “omnimovement” system. But this utterly disastrous story mode is simply beyond forgiveness. I highly doubt they’ll do it, but if they gave the series just a one-year break, they could come back in a completely different (and much better) form.

While the changes to the career mode have given F1 24 a "new feel", it still feels "rushed" in general.

Noreya has some unique ideas and questionable design choices. I doubt it'll leave a mark compared to the most successful examples of the genre, but in general, it is a good metroidvania.

It has its annoying flaws, but if you're looking for a peaceful and calm game to breathe when you're overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of gaming and life, give it a shot.

It's not better than the first one, but overall it's a good game. It's suitable for jumping into the series at any point, and I can't let you miss the chance to see and play as Mui!

I wish it hadn't squeezed such interesting ideas and a compelling concept (though clearly inspired by Disco Elysium) into a package that fails to excite much and occasionally feels like a time-waster due to some of its mechanics. While Rue Valley could have been so much more, it seems content with being just average.

Figment 2 is a step forward and a step back at the same time. It improves in some areas and falls behind the previous game in others. Still it manages to give you an enjoyable 5 hours with great visuals, songs and a story that tells you what is important in this life.

CS2 is like a giant patch to CS:GO. Although it's not better than CS:GO at the moment, it has a potential to surpass all of the achievements of its predecessor in the future.

If we were to blend Shadow of the Colossus, Assassin's Creed and Zelda games in one place, I think something like this would come out. The game is not bad, it entertains, but it gets very repetitive and boring over time.
