It's far from being the first game of the genre you should try. As it stands, it's just a nice, temporary alternative.

Marathon is a game where a professional company like Bungie made way too many amateur mistakes. I wouldn't be too surprised if it joins the caravan of games that get their servers shut down..

Somerville is a prime example of how great ideas and great creativity can be overwhelmed by technical and design problems. But it still promises a good and different gaming experience.

MK: Legacy Kollection, despite all its flaws, offers a unique opportunity for anyone who wants to take a fast-paced trip through Mortal Kombat's history. And if the online mode gets fixed, it'll be downright irresistible.

Although it is still a very fun and enjoyable online FPS game to play, the fact that the in-game economy is so greedy and focused on exploiting the player, and there isn't anything in game that deserves that "2" in the name lowered the overall score for me. Unfortunately Battle Passes are now a part of these games, but Overwatch 2 has exploited that a lot. At least base game is free.

Metal: Hellsinger, despite having a very original gameplay and very good music, falls short in terms of design and variety and leaves just a metallic taste in the mouth.

Any series that reminds me of the past stirs my emotions, but Reunion had too many flaws for me to give in to those feelings. Such a reunion deserved a much more compelling story.

While we’re used to seeing games in this genre that draw heavy inspiration from (or even outright copy) one another, I appreciated that Crimson Capes has its own identity and offers an original gameplay experience. It has its flaws, but the effort put into it definitely shouldn’t be overlooked.

This long-running series returns to classic roots with this new entry, but I doubt whether this is a correct choice or not.

Stormgate is a strategy game woven from strong multiplayer fabric, shaped by high expectations and unfulfilled promises. Whether it can become the unicorn Tim Morten envisions remains to be seen.

Gamers who grew up playing 8-bit platformers in front of a CRT TV will find what they're looking for.

It has a great atmosphere and visuals that complement it, but due to technical issues and problematic design choices, it fails to reach its full potential. I wish its release had been delayed and given more thought.

If we weren't going through a period where Game of the Year nominations are being throwed at us in bulk, I'd say give it a chance, but I'm sure there are other games you should be playing.

A unique "What if?" story based on Aztec mythology turns into a truly different experience when combined with a horror theme - that is, as long as the game doesn’t crash.

I can recommend Trek to Yomi to those who want to experience a dark story. But even though visuals are eye-candy, I gotta admit gameplay is kind of a letdown.

A game that looks promising but fails to deliver on its promises. You may give it a chance if necessary improvements are made in the future, but I suggest you to wait a bit more if you don't want to be disappointed.

A Soulslike that flows like water, ends too fast, and is erased from the memory as soon as it ends.

That would be unfair to call SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake a bad game. Compared to the previous games, I think it would be more accurate to call it "soulless" rather than "bad". You're not surprised by this though, because every sailor knows that 4/4 string ostinato in D minor means death.

Way of the Hunter isn't successful at integrating the realism it promised into the game. If it solves technical problems with further updates, then we'll have a good hunting game that we can spend hours playing. In it's current state, I can't recommend unless you have a deep passion for hunting. But I gotta admit even with optimization issues and game breaking bugs, it's still comforting to watch stunning sights.

Can we make sports games fun, full and enjoyable to play again instead of superficial games that exploit players, please?

With its monotonous gameplay and dull story, Forgive Me Father makes Cthulhu sad.

The pleasure of managing a football team, which was presented in the previous game, has been preserved exactly as it is, but almost nothing has been added to it. As it stands right now, there isn't much reason to abandon the first game and move on to 2024.

A promising game with various obstacles and clever puzzles that challenge both hand and mind. It could have been more fluid if it offered a slightly more compact progression in terms of the number of chapters. (Hint: Perhaps some of the chapters could have been turned into extra levels unlocked after finishing the game, I'm not sure.)

Even though the development team did their best to enhance the game, it stayed a basic, old-school amusement from four decades ago. Fans of retro games may find some pleasure in it.

Football Manager 26 has a magnificent tactics screen and gives you the ability to bring your dream style of play onto the pitch. However, to achieve that, you first have to survive the chaotic screens the game puts you through, struggling not to drown in its bottomless interface.

Here is a game that falls short of its potential, but still won't make patient gamers unhappy. If its general sloppiness and various bugs don't get on your nerves too much, fans of the genre can give it a chance.

AITD is a game that does a lot of things well, but it is also burdened by its weaknesses. Enjoyable puzzles, a good script, and an immersive atmosphere are all lost in the surprisingly poor combat mechanics, bugs and technical issues that spoil the enjoyment of the game.

If you think storytelling is more important than gameplay then you should definitely give this 4-hours long "comedy series" a chance. Just don't expect too much in terms of gameplay.
