Truberbrook is a fine example of interesting design, craftsmanship, and dedication of the developer. But as an adventure game, it does not do anything overly to new and exciting. The story is fine, characters are interesting and the puzzles can be relaxingly easy or frustratingly unintuitive.

Hellpoint is a dark sci-fi souls-like game that introduces some new features and ideas in an attempt to differentiate itself from a common dark souls clone. Plenty of glitches and bugs make it feel rushed and make it look like it’s still in beta. Overall, Hellpoint has lots of promise, and could have been an amazing game if Cradle Games spent more time in development.

If you look past the simplicity of combat and poor animations, there is a pretty high chance you'll get hooked on Minoria. Clash with deadly opponents turns into a dance with the Devil, as you outsmart and outplay armies of monsters with nothing but your reflexes. There's plenty to get disappointed on here, but if you dig deeper, there's a lot to like as well.

The DX port does a lot of quality of life improvements and brings the whole Dust trilogy to a new light with increased resolution and more colourful graphics. If you have not before played the Atelier series this is a perfect game to start and show what it's all about.

If you have only 30 minutes for gaming, but still want to feel that wonderful sense of exhaustion and eye strain, this is the right game for you. Jokes aside, Sayonara Wild Hearts is dynamic, short, stylish, flashy and definitely not for everyone. It is an experience, more than an actual game, hence surely not for everyone. But if you want to test your ocular gaming stamina, do give it a try.

The formula wears off quickly but the fans of the movie will have their Mad Max fix.

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections fails to properly unite previous entries into a single, glorious package. Instead, it offers a mediocre retelling of the Naruto storyline and an agonizing list of missing content from the previous games. And yet, if you just want a Naruto game with the biggest roster of characters ever to play with your buddies, this is a great title. Still gorgeous and fun, but in no way the best way to celebrate the renowned series.

The New York vampire story continues. Less choice in characters but a more solid experience with a single vampire clan. It would be interesting to see if this continues further.

UFL is a welcome addition to the football gaming world, especially as it introduces some much-needed competition to the EA FC-dominated market. While it’s not yet on the same level as its competitors, it offers some great gameplay ideas and even outshines FC in several areas. I hope that it will evolve into a more simulation-focused experience in the future.

The game lacks information and suffers from repetitiveness. It might be better down the line or if a sequel comes out. For now it's an interesting idea still worth picking up.

Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten is the first fully-fledged Utawarerumono JRPG title. It follows the standard ‘’JRPG recipe’’ but still has a decent cast of lovable characters, and you can truly feel the developers' passion. If you are a fan of the original series, don’t miss out on this one.

The word ''update'' perfectly describes not only this edition of the game but probably the last five titles in a row. Then again, PES remains to be a good, license lacking simulation. The price is fair but the wait is real, as we are already looking forward to the new installment that will shake things up a bit, after a long wait.

An amazing sequel to a great game, Dishonored 2 would be absolutely phenomenal if it weren't for its plethora of terrible technical problems. Framerate drops, freezes and such are marring this brilliant game so much, the overall experience is hurt.

Simply put, CRYMACHINA is the definition of a niche JRPG title that will either win you over with its writing and characters, or infuriate you with its combat sequences. Aside from that, this is another visual novel in disguise.

As a cooperative horde shooter with friends it’s a great and fun time. If you are a fan and want to enjoy it with friends it’s a good buy. But if you are looking for the horror element of Aliens there is not much and most of it is rather repetitive and gets tedious.

Strayed Lights is a wonderful game similar to an arthouse film in its presentation. It is an interesting addition to the rhythm genre with its color-matching parry system, which makes the game unique. You can complete the whole game without attacking even once!

What was supposed to be a celebration of the 30 years this series has existed, turned into a bug infested glitch fest. Luckily, all of this is fixable if the team puts some effort into future updates. And it surely would be worth it, as the core game still holds as one of the most fun and imaginative 3D Sonic titles of all time.

Super Bomberman R 2 is a decent game that might appeal to some fans or casual players, but it brings almost nothing new to the table. Overall i would say R 2 is a massive downgrade, especially considering the previous game was free to play.

An unusual cocktail of ideas and style that won't suit everyone, Nights of Azure will more than please fans of the genre, yet it's far from achieving greatness due to its gameplay that's more often than not too easy to be enjoyable.

WarioWare: Get It Together offers a twist to the renowned wacky series of fast and tricky mini games. This time around, you will be controlling many of the well known characters the series has spawned over the years, with each and every single one of them being unique when it comes to the way you control them. Some aspects of the game seem redundant and misplaced, but the meat of the game still is as enjoyable and funny as the series has always been.

The cult classic that hasn't aged a day is incredibly fun to play even after all these years. Too bad that the developers didn't use this chance to polish the AI routine or give some units a redesign, making it hard to recommend the Redux edition to owners of the original game.

Forgotlings is a strong prequel to the already excellent and charming Forgotton Anne. While it occasionally stumbles due to a few technical issues, these do little to overshadow its core strengths. Once those problems are addressed, it stands as a fine and ambitious fairy-tale adventure that places its story, visuals, and music at the forefront rather than relying on complex or demanding gameplay systems.

The Escapists 2 made me escape away from my Switch for a while. It simply made me feel bad and confused! But if you like complex micromanagement and doing time... well dig right in, inmate. This game truly is great for people who simply - don't like it simple.

Bravium is a hero defense RPG with strong emphasis on resource management and grinding, but surprisingly without microtransactions. Although the game is distributed via Steam, UI is made for mobile devices and lacks flexibility on PC. Best element of this game is that anyone can play it while doing something else and have fun.

If you’re a fan of classic old-school point-and-click adventures, and especially if you enjoy Lovecraftian lore, stories, and settings, this is a game you should absolutely pick up this year. It isn’t perfect and lacks many of the quality-of-life features modern games tend to offer, but it more than makes up for it with atmosphere and charm, delivering a memorable and delightfully spooky ride.

Resident Evil Zero's remaster doesn't manage to surpass the series' previous remaster work, mostly missing the opportunity to fix some of the glaring issues the original edition of the game had.

The second chapter of the Chronicles series will provide you with several hours of fun, albeit with slightly repetitive gameplay. A bit more polished than the China chapter, but still nowhere near the old Assassin's Creed glory.

A game chock-full of content that provides numerous hours of fun, surpassing the previous game in almost every way. Still, there is a long way until we get a proper, epic Dragon Ball game.

Uninspired story and incredibly simple gameplay keeps this years Assassin’s Creed from being what it could have been.

The battle between quality and performance that the Switch port of this game brings is one of the fiercest encounters I’ve seen in gaming in years. The disgraceful technical difficulties luckily fail to extinguish the greatness of the game itself but do bring the experience to its knees at times. The Switch version is worth your time, but I would recommend any other platform nonetheless. You will get a vastly better experience.

This is a solid sequel but it tries to mess with the original recipe a bit too much. If you didn’t play the first one or were expecting to blast through waves of beat em up opponents, you will be confused and a bit disappointed. Check it out on a sale or if you really enjoyed the first game in the series.

3rd Eye offers quite simple gameplay with interesting story and art style with some really serious psychological theme.

Conglomerate 451 is an atmospherically impressive cyberpunk dungeon crawler that doesn’t take many risks. Although it is playing safe, it provides the player with a great atmosphere, deep gameplay and some of the best cyberpunk environments to date, despite its repetitiveness and balancing issues.

A fun, albeit short, bundle of games that is a great introduction to gaming in VR. Worlds still leaves a bit of a bitter taste as a rather expensive game instead of being bundled with Playstation VR.

Ripout had amazing potential in its early access period as I’ve mentioned in my previous review. However, the 1.0 release label is just that, a label. The release feels more like a patch than fully realising the developer’s vision, which is pretty disappointing. The pet gun is still awesome, and there are more toys to play with, including a bunch of QOL improvements. However, it still feels like a patch rather than a full release. It still needs to ‘’cook’’.

First time for a Dynasty Warriors game to head into an Open World environment and it stumbles doing that. It sure is a new way to experience an old franchise with many new options and rework of the combat system. But the game tries to put in all of the open world tropes and systems all at once without previous experience on them by the development team, which leads to many bugs, glitches and bad optimization.

One's Justice 2 improves the original. Yet the core of the game - the fighting, can grow stale pretty fast. The game looks amazing, especially during certain fights, combos and special attacks, but the joy won't last long unless you have a similarly excited friend to share a couple of hundreds of local matches with. That is the one scenario, this game will not fail at.

Mysterious trilogy is a great intro to the Atelier world because not only does it get rid of the time limit but also gives you a more personal story and interesting characters to meet. The DX version that’s been ported also comes with a plethora of additional content that is worth exploring and getting the whole pack together.

This sequel delivers a new adventure with Van and his crew, along with a mix of fresh and familiar faces. However, the narrative takes a noticeable dip. If you don’t follow the Trails series and have only played the first Daybreak title, you might find yourself struggling to fully enjoy Trails through Daybreak II.

Biomutant is an open-world RPG with a lot of interesting ideas that have already been done. This ambitious game was an interesting concept a few years ago, but bigger studios got there faster. The phenomenal character designer and the lush and beautiful world, and an interesting character concept do not help this game stand out. However, I have had a lot of fun playing it even though the combat had its issues.

With this new trilogy, the entire Tomb Raider saga is now fully playable in one complete collection. However, the janky camera and clunky controls still take away from the experience a bit.

You can't remake the charm of Banjo-Kazooie while disguising it as another game. Yooka-Laylee is a package of nostalgia that aged badly. There is a lot to love here but at the same time, there is a lot to be outraged about. Nonetheless, it is a recommendation you should tread carefully on.

Four years have passed since the last GT game in the franchise, and although this game stayed true to its roots and remains a true driving simulation, choices like reducing number of available vehicles, missing any kind of single player campaign (other than driving schools) and a lack of weather effect control in this day and age may have set this game to a bad start against its main competitors.

A rough restart to a beloved franchise plagued by bugs and glitches. An inexperienced team of fans working on new saga led to poor storytelling and writing. On the other hand, flawless gameplay and shooting mechanics advance the franchise further and we are confident that the sequels will only get better.

Developer’s inexperience hinders the game enough for it to not be an instant recommendation, especially to newcomers. But, for experienced MMO players, Black Desert Online offers months or even years of content. Considering that's how long it takes to just see everything that's on offer.

Need for Speed: Heat is the first good step for the franchise in years. Devoid of micro transactions, providing some Underground-like neon vibes with it’s best customization system, it can provide more than a dozen of hours of fun, despite it’s dead like world design and irrelevant and boring story.

Layers of Fear 2 is one of the best horror games on the Switch platform. While the amazing atmosphere, built by binaural audio and great graphics deliver a strong and immersive experience, gameplay and story could be much better. Yet all of the qualities this title builds, still shine strong, enough for any horror fan to truly enjoy an around 8 hours long ride.

Pokemon Sword is a very safe and standard Pokemon game the likes we have seen over the many years. Its quality of life changes are many and greatly improve the feel of the game. But with Dexit, lazy asset transferring from previous games, and many missed opportunities to improve it still falls flat of being the dream Pokemon game we always wanted to play.

Miitopia is a real utopia for all the Mii lovers out there. If you love to be in control though, there’s not much to love or control here. The game is a random set of events between characters you choose and create yourself. If you lack the number of characters you’d love to see interact, this is probably not a game for you. Otherwise, no matter how repetitive, there is a high chance you will fall for its undeniable charm.

Some games serve only to be fun. On the other hand, some games are experiences that aren't suited for everyone, art houses that are as disturbing as they are intriguing. The Town of Light is one of them.

We would not usually note this, but to pay the asking price for this game and not be absolutely in love with the Pokémon franchise is close to insane. There is plenty to love here if you are a fan of slow-paced, relaxing and pretty puzzle games, but if only that is the case - do wait for a discount. In any other case, better invest that money in a real camera.

Full freedom and innovative level design, but sloppy controls and sometimes stupid enemy AI will ruin your experience from time to time.

Even though it's short for the asking price, Final Station tells a compelling story in an intriguing world. 

Stranded Sails draws inspiration from many titles, but does not upgrade the borrowed formula in any way. Instead, it simplifies the experience, making it accessible and simple, yet rather bland if you are more than just a casual player. On the other hand, if you plan to grab this for a kid - it's a pretty great choice. You can watch him play, and get enough of fun just by the great and warm visuals, that really do stand out.

If Kirby series could lay an egg, and you made an omelette with it, it would be Whipseey - a short breakfast that could use at least a bit more salt. It is an extremely tiny platformer with a few cheap deaths hidden around a corner, but still en enjoyable retro gaming hour for any fan of the old school.

The Stretchers may stretch that smile over your face, with its funny ragdoll physics and clumsy multiplayer moments. It may be short and lacks replay value, but for the while it lasts, it is sure to bring a bit of hilarious sunshine to that rainy day, we all get to live sometimes.

A Fold Apart is a simple but short puzzle game with an interesting mechanic that explores relationships and difficulties of modern non-verbal communication.

The Invisible Hand offers insight into the world of stock trading, with some interesting turns. You can gain an unfair advantage by browsing the dark web and manipulating it, but freedom of choice exists as an idea, rather than a feature.

Although drawing the inspiration from the Banner Saga, Ash of Gods tries to distance itself and create some of its own identity. It has a nice story setup with multiple endings, nice music score, but most of the time, game comes up short in majority of game design decisions. Only for the fans of the genre.

Goblin and Coins II is a great nod to old-school platformers. It adds some fresh elements to the well-established formula, giving the already challenging (and sometimes frustrating) gameplay more depth and making it more enjoyable. If you're a fan of games such as Disney's Aladdin or The Lion King, try this one.

This is a great port of an amazing old game that most fans thought would be forever lost on the PS2. If you love the Star Wars universe, you definitely need to give this game a spin. You just need to bear with the controls a little.

Occasional bugs and rather steep difficulty aside, new rendition of WRC is exactly what fans of offroad rally games should play right away. Just be sure to bring a steering wheel.

As a whole, Broken Age is a must-play for any fan of point-and-click adventures. However it is pretty obvious that the game is forcibly split into two acts and if you have waited for a whole year to see the conclusion of the game’s story, you’re probably going to end up disappointed.

You could call Elderand a safe bet. If you are craving a good quality metroidvania game where you know what to expect, look no further. This is a solid adventure that brings nothing new to the table, but what it does serve, is unmistakably good. Just don’t forget to keep your expectations in check.

Shallow story combined with historic inaccuracies and very buggy multiplayer gave us a game that leaves a bitter taste in stark contrast with big expectations. War Mode is a bright spot and is currently the only thing really worth playing, but there’s still hope that the game might improve over time with patches.

Mato Anomalies is an interesting mix of multiple different JRPG styles and their respective gameplay mechanics, as well as some visual novel elements. Sadly, it falls down to the PS2 era with its lacklustre voice acting and visuals but is still an ambitious and very enjoyable game.

Erica is a weird mixture of inconsistent but mostly quality writing, with astounding visuals and soundtrack. It poses as a truly interesting experience and even though with its flaws it is a step in the right direction for FMV games.

Designed as "Ubisoft: A sandbox game", Primal fails to reach the bar set by its predecessors. The game world is vast and rich with details, but the game never actually motivates you to push the story mode to its conclusion.

Forever Skies offers a captivating and imaginative world that invites exploration and discovery. Its survival mechanics are accessible and forgiving, though the combat lacks excitement. Ultimately, the real joy lies in designing and building the most creative, unconventional airborne base you can imagine.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a safe and simple downgrade of the Doom franchise. As Eternal makes you think about your every choice and move, feeling like a fighter jet, The Dark Ages wants you to feel like a tank, made of Styrofoam. While the parry mechanics are extremely important and play a big role in the game, the gunplay is easily overshadowed. Music is tame, repetitive and is not memorable in the slightest. Mick Gordon is surely missing. With the asking price of 80 euros, I would stay away as far as possible from this game or at least play it on Game Pass.

If you crave vast, mysterious alien landscapes, this game lets you rocket-skate over them on a hoverboard. Camera and controls can feel sluggish, even tedious, but its rich atmosphere still delivers a thrilling off-world adventure.

Shooting is interesting and VR experience is good, but game lacks exploration and more depth, and ultimately is only an arcade corridor shooter, which is a shame, because Aim Controller provides lots of immersion into the gameplay.

We're yet to see whether the whole experience will be on par with the rest of the series. So far, new Hitman offers the familiar style and atmosphere, large levels with numerous routes, but also a plethora of strange glitches and bugs.

Ultimately, your decision to give LEGO Avengers a try will depend whether you grew tired of the formula we've seen in countless LEGO games so far. The humor, action-paced levels and co-op action is there, but it's really the same game we've played already.

A game, a promise, which sometimes turns into a pleasant surprise, while turning into a void at others. Void that, one day, might get filled by promises that the developers made, however it still captivated us to push forward and explore.

As with the recent LEGO games, Force Awakens is a fun distraction for a while, but ultimately doesn't bring much to the overcrowded branch of LEGO games.

The collection of all Bioshock games isn't a bad remaster, but neither is it an outstanding one. For the console crowd it’s a worthy addition to their collection, but for PC players it doesn't offer a big enough improvement.

For a quick introduction into the World of Darkness setting it’s a fine novel to read through and play through. But it has some rather quality of life options that are missing from this type of game and they should not be missing. Give it a chance if it's on some nice sale.

A short and fast-paced beat-em-up that needs more gameplay mechanics, but is still fun to play.

Mostly a game for the fans, Burning Blood is a spectacle fighter game that won't be able to grab you unless you're familiar with the One Piece universe. For the fans though, the game offers quite a lot - from solid gameplay, to familiar story and lovable cast.

Darwin's Paradox! is somewhat creative, yet still fails to realize the game's full potential. Uneven pacing, shallow gameplay and clunky controls manage to hold it back from greatness. A memorable experience - sure. But one that is plagued with inconsistencies. Almost like a true paradox.

Fairy Tail 2 faithfully adapts the anime's story, offering vibrant visuals and emotional moments that all the fans of the series will enjoy. However, repetitive gameplay, shallow combat, and technical issues hold it back. While it adds some exciting features, the overall experience feels underwhelming for newcomers. It’s a solid pick for fans but far from a must-play.

If you are looking for something new and fresh, Atlas Fallen might just be the game for you. It has an intriguing world design and ways of traversing it, as well as interesting fighting mechanics. Unfortunately, the rest of the world building relies on boring characters and a story that will hardly keep you entertained for a long while, which is a shame since the rest of the game has some real potential.

Two Point Museum is a charming and lighthearted management sim with a fun premise and quirky humor. While it offers an enjoyable experience, its repetitive gameplay and lack of real challenge may limit long-term appeal for some players.

This is a quick, fun and chaotic indie title that has the feel of good old retro games. But its random core gameplay loop makes it rather frustrating at times if you end up drawing the short end of the stick. All in all its a fun bite-size package for summer or just as a quick drop in drop out game.

Skopje ’83 blends comic-book style visuals with FPS roguelite survival, offering plenty of weapons and a wide-open approach to exploration. While its atmosphere and Balkan-inspired world stand out, unclear progression and a myriad of questionable game design choices hold it back.

Regarding tennis games, Top Spin 2K25 is still the king. However, selling it as a completely new title, even though it’s a glorified remaster of the remarkable Top Spin 4, is an absolute travesty. Top Spin 2K25’s gameplay is currently the best in the market, but its outdated graphics, lacklustre choice of players, and pretty simplistic career mode really damage the experience.

If you’re not looking for something new in the field of 3D platformers and you just want to scratch that itch with a genre we don't see often anymore, Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara might be a perfect new release for you. On the other hand, if you want something unique, polished and unforgettable... You might be in the wrong place.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is fundamentally a fun game, despite the fact that the series is becoming very ‘’samey’’, especially if you are a ‘’multiplayer only’’ player. Its espionage-like campaign is certainly fun and ridiculous at times, with some questionable decisions and great level design, but it still doesn’t pose as something remarkably innovative in its final product.

If you are looking for a short yet fun 3D platform game for your PSVR, its humble library just got a bit bigger with one such title. Lucky’s Tale can be easy and it can be hard, but for the entire length of its short campaign, it never fails to stay charming and fun.

If you loved Punch-out!!, chances are you will also like Thunder Ray. It may be super short and a bit unfair most of the time, but its gorgeous visuals and satisfying challenges alone will make up for it.

The Solus Project is a mixed bag. With vast landscape to explore and eerie, tense atmosphere it is an adventure worth taking, if only there were no plot holes and somewhat weird design decisions.

Targeted at hardcore fans of rally and racing games in general, Sebastien Loeb Rally won't attract casual bystanders to add this game to their collection and even fails to offer enough to its target audience.

In this co-op game you will find a great fun adventure with comedy, puzzles, banter and high jinks. But even with all that, the game falters and stumbles to the side with its high price tag, DLC, loot being shared between all players but picked up by only one, the very lack of players in the multiplayer sections, and a rather short campaign.

With the fifth edition of SE, Rebellion makes a few steps forward, as well as a few steps back, due to its great focus on sandbox level design, riddled with problems with arena-like level segments, and bad implementation of Invasion mode with weird design choices when the UI is in question.

Compared to its predecessor, Championship Edition 2 offers more stuff to do, yet it never manages to achieve the pure arcade bliss that entranced the player to spend hours on end.

Aterdux Entertainment decided to make an interesting low fantasy mix of adventure, turn-based strategy combat and RPG elements. Legends of Eisenwald offers many hours of fun, enjoyment and, unfortunately, a myriad of shortcomings all packed together.

Lovely Planet 2: April Skies is a sequel to cute gun ballet with simple gameplay mechanics and cool music. This game has over 100 levels, but sadly they don't offer many challenges.
