One Piece is an anime/manga franchise that deserves a game that would blow everyone's mind. That's why when you get a mediocre title, it hurts so bad. Enjoyable storyline, graphics and open world, simply were not enough to turn this disappointment into an experience worth a recommendation. But if you are not a demanding player, there are a few things you could still like here.

Amazing idea that's ultimately ruined by execution, Clandestine manages to create more frustration than fun.

X4: Timelines is probably the weakest expansion of X4 to date. While offering an excellent experience for new players trying to learn the ropes of the complex space sim, providing separate campaigns with interesting isolated missions, it doesn’t have much content to justify its price for returning players and veterans alike.

Another year, another F1, this time with almost no major changes, microtransactions, dysfunctional VR support and ridiculously bad supercars modes and additions. Yeah, the first EA-published Codemasters game had some of their notoriously bad practices inside of it, and even though it is no surprise, it is a sad day, since last year's edition was one of the best F1 experiences ever made.

Far Cry 5 is nothing better nor worse than other Far Cry games after the third one. It's basically the same game with new characters that are desperately trying to look like Vaas or Brody.

Real Farm is just another farm simulator with some interesting field monitoring mechanics, but it doesn’t differ much from the core formula and other games in the genre.

Even though it has some interesting ideas, you’ll be mostly a passive observer on this one time only ride.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered could have easily been a massive hit if the developers had just added more quality-of-life options and tweaked some issues that plagued the original. If you’re an old fan, I would definitely recommend it, as it’s the best way to experience the original Tomb Raider trilogy.

Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles didn’t need a remaster, but it did deserve preservation. Unfortunately, aside from slightly enhanced graphics, little has changed or improved. The controls feel jankier than ever, and the same frustrations from years ago remain intact. That said, it might still shine as a co-op drinking game, taking a shot every time you're knocked down by a blaster shot. Or maybe not, someone could get poisoned.

The original The Last of Us will always be my favourite PlayStation game. The narrative is amazing, the relationship between Joel and Ellie is wholesome and it all culminates into a satisfying story that will bring tears to your eyes. However, I do not recommend the remake. Even though there are extensive graphical enhancements, 60FPS support, DualSense support and a variety of accessibility options, none of this justifies the admission price. And, above all, there was really no need for this remake, the original is perfect as it is and available on PS Plus. Skip it and wait for a fat discount if you are keen to try it.

Building Have Feelings Too! is a game where charming looks, good presentation and the humoristic story is in a constant fight with average gameplay that doesn’t allow it to become something great.

Days Gone PC port is a good and much better day 1 experience than Horizon Zero Dawn was. However, HZD has one leg up on Days Gone – it is fun. This cookie-cutter zombie game offers little innovation or fun experiences except in set pieces and a couple of quests. You will be fighting the same zombies and burning nests throughout the game, but hey, it looks and works really nice on PC.

While having an interesting premise, Hood: Outlaws & Legends offers an extremely mediocre and repetitive experience that leaves a lot to be desired.

Mechanicaly identical to Space Marine, Eternal Crusade feels like it should've stayed in the early access stage for a while. It will take a lot of fixing and a hefty price drop until we could recommend this side of the grimdark 40K universe.

In case you want to "get your hands dirty" and working on virtual farms is your kind of fun, it is clear that this game is the right choice for you. However if you are a newcomer to the series, the game will overwhelm you with the amount of details and hard to understand terminology.

For the fans of the Kill la Kill anime, this would be a great and fun game to have and play with friends. Its button mashy system and crazy action are well presented. But lack of playable characters and high price tag drag it down for now.

Windward is way too simplistic and repetitive. If Tasharen Entertainment expanded economic system, spiced up the combat and made more interesting quests, things would have been a lot different.

Empyreal delivers a chaotic fusion of diverse gameplay mechanics and features. It's a bold cocktail—one that you'll either savor for its intensity or recoil from due to its sharp bite and fiery finish. While it may not be for everyone, it's definitely worth grabbing on sale or trying out if you're up for a challenge.

Good atmosphere and some nice design, but really poor gameplay and predictable story.

By all accounts an average game, Lost Sea doesn't excel neither in its gameplay department, nor visual presentation. It is an entry game for beginners to the action RPG genre, but even they could find a much better experiences elsewhere.

For the first independent project from a small studio, Aragami is more than good and a welcome return to the stealth genre. If only it wasn't marred by plethora of bugs and unresponsive controls.

The fast, energetic and explosive combat is still here, combos, bursts, accelerations are there. But the story falls flat to include new players to the world, the camera and lock on systems are all over the place and the whole game feels to easy or to chaotic at times. If you have enjoyed the previous games in the series, like anime styled action games or have a liking to more fast paced and less intricate combat system this might be a good ride for a time or until something better comes around.

The Midnight Walk is a visually striking adventure with a unique stop-motion aesthetic and excellent sound design, yet it struggles to fully deliver on its narrative ambitions. It brims with creative potential, but ultimately feels like a missed opportunity—whimsical, yet clumsily told and mechanically shallow. Its short length works in its favor, as a longer runtime would likely highlight its repetitiveness and tonal inconsistency. Still, for the right player at the right moment, it may offer a rare and emotionally resonant experience.

A generic ARPG that offers little fun and greatly under uses the Warhammer license.

A very strange mix of 90s hip-hop and alternate past anime style, Orangeblood delivers a short story filled with bad dialogues and uninventive UI. Yet a couple of very interesting battle mechanics and characters that despite all - will eventually get you to like them.

The remake of one of the most iconic games of all time finally got its PC version. Unfortunately, it is plagued with bugs and glitches, and the optimization is extremely poor. If you are not in a rush, wait for a more substantial update that will hopefully solve most of these problems. In the meantime, give it a try on the PlayStation 5 if you have the chance.

Despite the massive marketing push and promises of a “revolution,” EA FC 26 ends up feeling all too familiar — a shiny coat of paint over the same arcade-style gameplay. The new “Authentic” mode offers a touch of realism, but online matches are still a chaotic mess. EA’s continued obsession with microtransactions and the clumsy integration of women’s players into FUT only reinforce the impression that, once again, style has triumphed over substance.

Sea of Solitude tries to tackle more dark and sensitive problems of family relations and depression but fails ultimately to deliver by generalising its story thematic. It still manages to deliver the message it wants to, but completely underestimating player’s intelligence and degrading him into childish storytelling it tries to tell.

Even though it looks cute and offers fun gameplay, My Night Job fails to offer any longevity and the player will drop it right after the first hour or two.

Imperator: Rome is another showmanship of Paradox’s greed that is manifested through their DLC politics. In its core, it is a good game with some intuitive ideas that are resolved through a very interesting time period, but it falls short in almost all fields where its mechanics are clearly left unfinished for some DLCs to fulfil them.

The game is for SAO fans primarily, and everyone else not even secondary but way in the back. There is a huge amount of story and dialogue and some times, not enough clunky combat as it is.

FM26 delivers meaningful tactical upgrades and smoother on-pitch action, but sacrifices too many beloved features in the transition to a new engine, leaving the game feeling promising yet noticeably incomplete.

A really great idea for a horror game, but it simply fails to deliver. Boring gameplay, bad voice acting and a lot more.

If you are into rockets shooting rockets at other rockets, while chaotically flying through an open space avoiding obstacles, look no further. It is a short fun but fun no less. Oh and it has some really nice music! For the price it's asking, it offers a fair deal.

Shallow and empty with nothing to keep you interested.

Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story offers a great concept of running a hero school, but delivers it in much more humble fashion than it may seem. A simple combat and repetitive gameplay, won't hook you for days. But for what charm it has, Valthirian Arc is something you should at least try out for a little while.

The game might offer some fun moments, but as a whole, it can’t even try to compete with similar titles, such as Portal.

With its galore of tropes and cliche characters, new Star Ocean can barely satisfy even the biggest fans of the franchise.

Monotone missions and uninventive enemies, combined with bad AI, makes this game more of a chore than enjoyment.

Boring and rushed experience, probably just to promote the new movie.

Since standard WWE 2K21 is not coming out, we got Battleground, a more arcade-y approach to the WWE universe. Sadly Battlegrounds has basically the same problems as previous iterations. Microtransactions, bugs, dull gameplay throw shadow on a good try to refresh the franchise.

AO Tennis 2 is a blatant rehash of AO International Tennis, posing as a false new game. It improves bits of gameplay and career by a really small margin, but still prevails in its weird and unrealistic gameplay that is neither arcadey nor simulation-based. It never tries to rise above it and just presents basic and lazy short-term tennis experience.

The Collider 2 is a fun little game that can provide a couple of hours of entertainment, especially if you're a fan of endless runners and high speed, although there are myriad of problems with the execution and the VR implementation could've been better. [VR Tested]

Is there a sin more sinful than taking away the charms of a great game? Implementing an awesome PvP multiplayer into this one would most definitely raise the verdict a notch. But this way... It's only a bleak experience.

It’s such a shame that underneath this amazing art style we have an average game on all the other key elements.

“They told me I would get a steak and I got a tuna sandwich. No matter how much I love eating tuna sandwich I want my damned steak.”

Sometimes, Mafia 3 is a glimpse of what could've been an amazing, immersive game. At other times it’s a buggy, unoptimized mess that should've stayed at the drawing board for at least two more years.

Megaton Rainfall is an interesting concept and good idea on a paper, but in reality things are not so great. Mediocre gameplay and solid graphics with story that is rather nonexistent are not worth your time.

Seemingly an innocent, cutesy and easygoing game, Woven offers lots of stuff to do, for the younger part of the gaming audience. Yet an eerie feeling may surprise a few of you veteran gamers out there. As the clunky animations and clumsy looking characters, seem almost intentional. Almost as if to promise a surprise in form of an animatronic Freddy, that seeks to catch you off guard.

If we take away blood and violence, we’ll be left with an empty shell with rewind mechanics. After first hour it becomes extremely boring and repetitive. Do not play this if you are fan of the movie.

Phoenix Point should be the spiritual successor to the XCOM games, but it only presents itself with some big staggering issues on top of its innovative and fun gameplay ideas. In the current state, it is so poorly balanced and riddled with bugs, its hard to recommend it, while only hope remains that the developers will fix some of these problems in future patches.

A rhythm game with great visuals but too little to back them up. Dodgeball is just a theme here, and the action is simple. Well, at least music and visuals are nice for a single walkthrough and a few local multiplayer matches. Just don't expect too much.

Aside from generic zombie survival theme, Deadline is a watered-down spin-off of its much better predecessor, riddled with bugs and framerate issues that should've been ironed-out during Early Access stage.

You may see a Minecraft themed racing game, but all I see is the lowest replay value racing game I've ever played. For the length of its fun, the joy is real. But as soon as you lose tracks to discover (and friends to play with), there is next to nothing to look for in this game.

Buried beneath a pile of technical issues, memory leaks, and broken textures, there’s a good Borderlands game struggling to shine through. However, at this point in time, I cannot in good conscience recommend this game. This is a shame since the game is a fun looter shooter at its core, with a pedigree that started this genre but did not innovate enough. Tiny Tina’s spinoff had more ideas and progressed the genre further than the official sequel to the franchise.

Too many bugs and overall lack of optimization prevents Flashback 2 from being at least a decent new entry and sequel to such a legendary series. Give the game a chance only if you are a die hard fan and you have the patience to suffer through its multiple issues.

What could potentially be one of the best kart games out there is sadly plagued by a heavy microtransaction system. We say "could“ because even if there were no microtransactions, many other elements would need a lot more polish. This is especially obvious when it comes to a not so great track design and clunky driving. Yet if you are a huge fan of the series and don’t mind spending some additional money on the game you’ve already paid for, give this one a go. There are still things to love in this package.

The effect is actually plain, as under the hood of pretty visuals lies a not so fun to experience gameplay. There are a number of things one can enjoy here, but for the most part it is a journey that will make you treasure your own commute so much more.

A shameful ending to a beloved series.

Battlefield 2042 is technically an unfinished game that just has dozens of problems on both visual and technical levels. It poses some questionable gameplay changes, some good, some bad, but it still presents itself as a dash of fresh air with great modes like Portal and Hazard Zone. Sadly, it has so many problems on mentioned levels, with really disappointing “bloom” during shooting, that it poses itself as a pretty bad experience overall and it is really hard to recommend to anyone until it gets patched or gets additional content in the future.

As a newcomer to the series, I expected a wave-based horror FPS but was disappointed by the lack of horror and a competent FPS – I guess I got the waves, though. The feel of the game is quite off. Weapon feedback is lacklustre, the class system is basic and uninspired, and the performance is abysmal, even on the PS5. I guess Killing Floor has its audience, but it's not for me.

Just as its name says, this game is a great foundation for a really massive and great open world sandbox space adventure, where it's your choice to write your own destiny and play any way you want. But the massive and game breaking bugs simply stop players from delving more into it.

The new songs are pretty nice, but everything else is more of the same. Also, if you really want to gain access to the whole game you have to subscribe to Just Dance Unlimited. Get it on sale.

If global warming is a problem you think we should fight with dolphins set in a postapocalyptic vision of the world, through the eyes of TRON, then look no further! This is a game for you. For the rest of the gaming crowd, I'm pretty sure you won't find much fun here unless you just wanna relax and dive deep until you inevitably fall to sleep.

The only thing that will keep you with this outdated game is nostalgia and love for the comic series.

Tunche looks great on paper, even better in motion, but under your thumbs – it hurts like hell. A game so unfairly hard, tries its best to keep you in for longer, while overstaying its welcome. There is a quality here and it looks like a game made out of passion and love. Yet a few life-saving tweaks would not just save the game from a low score, but also your nerves after playing it for more than 30 minutes.

Darksiders 3 does a lot of stuff wrong. True fans will be grateful that it exists, but this game is a below average action platformer that tries to be something that is not.

A rather rough and rudimentary strategy game.

All the violence and shock value can’t hide the mediocre game behind it.

The more you play Necropolis, the more evident will its flaws become. With too similar rooms, corridors and monsters, it doesn't create a feeling of mystery, but a feeling of running in circles.

Red Solstice 2: Survivors is a game that wants to be an RTS, Twin Stick shooter and XCOM but does all three poorly. The game was clearly designed for 8 player co-op, and it plays best in that way, but the solo, single-player campaign is not worth it. The AI is troubling sometimes and the little control you have over your marines makes this a dull experience.

Jon Shafer's At the Gates is sadly lackluster in comparison of its maker's past titles like Civilization V. It presents some innovation for the genre, but has serious failures in some of the basics of 4X games and poses as a weird package with big need for some quality of life updates.

Looks and plays good, but lacks so much in every other department compared to the standards set by the previous titles in the series.

NBA 2K21 is an utter disappointment with the lack of innovation and some reasonable step up from its predecessor. Driving force behind this year’s current-gen edition is that it possesses a better AI, some less predatorial microtransactions and few new animations. Sadly, that is not even enough to repay its price of 60 euros, and it is a true example of terrible practices that rules sports games.

Marvel’s Avengers is a truly saddening experience which has a huge potential to be or become a truly good game with its interesting character combat and story. In its state, it is riddled with problems like terrible bugs, non-functional multiplayer, microtransactions, and an average and problematic enemy design.

Act of Aggression truly lives up to its name. It commits an act of aggression against its players.

Looking at the gameplay aspect, Mars 2120 is a very well made metroidvania title. Sadly, the lack of balance and the overall feeling of ‘’soullessness’’ drags Mars 2120 down for me.

The combat is the only thing Onikira's done right. Everything else feels flat and boring, even though the game initially shows some promise.

I expected Payday 3 to be an immersive heist sim (having not played the earlier games), but I only experienced a solid shooter with useless bots and connection issues. There is a good game hidden behind the horrid XP challenge system, but I honestly can’t recommend it in its current state.

There is a great game here, fun combat, interesting mechanics, nice characters and story. Too bad it is buried under so many technical issues and bugs. It might be a good buy after a hefty polish.

The idea is there, it's decent, but it boils down to random connecting of clues just to get some further insight. Another thing that slows down the enjoyment is the very bland characters and plots.

Game that could only be recommended to players who are nostalgic for overly difficult strategies. Other than that, Ashes doesn't offer anything new or different from other games in the genre and spectacularly falls flat.

Not a complete disaster, but very close to being one. Syndrome does offer quite a few scary and tense moments, but its sluggish gameplay and bugs make it more of an annoyance to play.

Outriders Worldslayer is an expansion in word only. It provides players with some new options for builds and a few fun loot, but its 3-hour story and overall really small amount of content make it look like an incremental free update that tries to scam its players by paying full price for it.

A mini golf arcade game, you play in your everyday home. Over 130+ levels of improvised mini golf courses and simple controls, make this a fun but entirely basic, arcade experience. At least it has multiplayer, so... Hurray?

Sons of Valhalla had some great ideas, but it’s ultimately a disappointment. It flourishes its mashup of typical 2D ARPG and Kingdom Two Crowns strategy style, but it banalizes its approach to each stage with the same copy-paste mechanics and lackluster boring combat. It seems as if the developers tried to keep the game monotonous in its entirety.

An ambitious project from a small studio that ultimately falls flat due to its frustrating physics engine, Scrap Garden is neither good nor bad, but somewhere in the middle of mediocrity.

The Definitive Edition is an attempt at a quick cash grab while there is still some love for the franchise. The limiting two-player couch co-op, the lower resolution visuals and no new features are not something to fault the Switch console for, but at least you get all of the DLCs.

Summer Catchers is an endless runner that combines beautiful pixel art and an amazing OST. Start your engines and help Chu get to the ocean, but only if you like RNG.

Fuser is a toy that wants to be a video game. The controls are not intuitive, the vision is limited, and the campaign is cringy to the core. I see that this game had its vision, but it fell through somewhere so they gave us a bunch of mixing options, some popular songs and slapped a steep price on it that is not worth the admission. I would much rather buy a real turntable than spend money on Fuser.

If it didn't say "Assassin's Creed" on the tin, we wouldn't be completely sure what we've played. Nor were Ubisoft sure where were they heading with this series.

Bioware jumps into the world of looter-shooters failing to fix some mistakes long present into to genre while making some of their own. Despite fun combat and beautiful graphics, it just fails to live up to the hype with its bad loot system, lackluster story and general bad design of some of the core points of the game.

Designed as a Devil May Cry clone but based on a card game, Anima barely balances on its playability, with constant problems with the camera and more than wonky platforming sections. Terribly dated graphics are just a final nail in this mediocre coffin.

In theory, a concept that should've been brilliant. In theory.

NHL 21 is almost the same game like NHL 20, with few added additional features to few of its modes. Absolute cash-grab for a yearly roster update and another microtransaction filled unsatisfactory experience.

Gerrrms is a cute party game, that will, unfortunately, grow stale pretty fast. But if you do enjoy it more than it could ever be predicted, there's no harm to be found in this simple and colourful, harmless bacteria brawl.

Even though some of you might find enjoyment in the survival element of this title, ridiculously slow loading times, progress, strangling repetition, unintuitive controls and a surprisingly annoying hunger indicator, made this author seek enjoyment elsewhere. No doubt there is quality here, but my hands were just too tired from digging to look for it any deeper.

Gotham Knights is a prime example of mediocrity and lack of direction. With some useful and interesting ideas, it starts promising but is drawn back fast by its repetitive and clunky combat systems that fail to differ much, with a lack of enemy variety, empty-ish world and weak mission design.
