Princess Peach: Showtime! is a fun-packed title for the youngest of gamers and for those that want to join the ride. Colourful and refreshing, full of exciting mechanics, yet at times simply yearning for upgraded Nintendo hardware to perform better on. If you know what to expect, you will surely have a great time. Just try not to let a few imperfections ruin the experience.

As someone who has never played Persona 3, I tried to make myself a believer but never managed to do so. The Persona system is great fun, the theme is not for my taste, and the school segments are beyond boring, at least for me, and I am probably in the minority. Apart from the price, this game will scratch that Persona itch and let you relive your childhood with gorgeous graphics and quality-of-life improvements, but it did not make me fall in love with the series.

Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is a fantastic PC port. The optimization is great, and it works well on a variety of PC configurations. With multiple graphical enhancements and AI upscaling, this game plays best on PC. DualSense is also fully integrated and will use all the features the PS5 has to offer, just a bit better. Oh, yeah, and the game is amazing as well!

When it comes to games, you’ll rarely find yourself saying: ‘’Let your expectations run wild, for they will surely be met with excellence’’. Rebirth feels more like a spectacular conclusion than a midway point of a trilogy. Bursting with content, rare are the moments where you won’t feel the utmost joy. It is easily one of the best Final Fantasy games ever conceived and one of the greatest titles this genre has to offer. A true masterpiece that makes us excited for what the series will have to offer next.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a controversial game, and it is truly not for everyone. On the other hand, it is so revolutionary compared to its predecessor, especially in this day and age, that it would be an easy GOTY contender if CAPCOM just showed a bit more leniency and knowledge of its audience. Unnecessary microtransactions and despicable optimization followed by few weird design choices hinders this release, that below all of the fuzz and stupidity hides a masterfully crafted world, with a fine narrative and remarkable combat that is unique and interesting with every step of its long journey.

Alone in the Dark remakes the original in all the elementary ways that were perfected a long time ago. It recreates the mechanics and the atmosphere of the first games with genuine precision yet fails to improve on the formula in any meaningful manner. It’s an experience you will probably enjoy getting bored with.

Sovereign Syndicate offers a refreshing departure from traditional fantasy RPGs, blending Greek mythology creatures with Victorian-era steampunk London. Thanks to its superb writing, expect an intriguing and intricate story with a lot of colourful characters and unexpected twists.

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.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League desperately tries to lure you in with its funny “quirkiness” and looter shooter gameplay, but fails miserably by completely ruining the narrative of almost all DC characters, making them obsolete, weak and poorly written. You can see some sparks of RockSteady’s talent here, but ultimately, the whole experience is very generic, repetitive and extremely disappointing.

Pacific Drive is a truly atmospheric experience that gives off that ‘’mystical adventure into the unknown’’ vibe. The family wagon which you drive becomes immediately iconic, and even with its roguelite structure, it provides a truly immersive experience that will keep you on your toes as you explore the Olympic Exclusion Zone and its mysterious landscapes.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong clearly reflects how good ideas and design age. They don’t. A graphical redesign but same at its core, this game may require a niche audience. However, when it finds it, it simply shines the brightest.

The best thing about Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is the fact it’s one of the very few video games based on the renowned anime franchise. The rest of it is mediocre, dull, stiff and repetitive. A few solid moments in the pile of sad and poor content makes this a hard game to recommend, but an easy one not to.

Helldivers 2 is an amazing co-op shooter that deserves all the hype it’s getting. The shift from top-down to third person was an amazing choice which shifted the gameplay but kept the original feel of killing bugs and spreading liberty and democracy. However, the servers are still struggling to keep up with the high amount of people drinking liber-tea and trying to experience, in my opinion, a GOTY candidate.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden boasts an amazing story with incredible voice acting. The setting, the narrative and the overall feel of the game is terrific and on par with high-budget games. However, the game has a faulty combat system, which is janky, crude, and lacks fluidity. Having said that, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is definitely one of those games I replay at least once a year.

Another Code: Recollection is a charming collection of two titles, remade with enough love to make them as enjoyable as they once were. A set of new mechanics, beautifully remade graphics, and a selection of wonderful characters make Another Code: Recollection one of the better titles of this kind you’ll be able to play in 2024.

Putting nostalgia aside, this might be the greatest sequel the Tekken franchise has ever received. Quite aggressive and visually attractive, everyone can find something to enjoy in this latest instalment. Add the simplified controls for the newcomers, and it is almost guaranteed everyone will have a good time with this game if they ever decide to give it a go.

At this point, Stargate fans are aching for a video game in this universe of almost any kind. This time, we got a tactical stealth game with many interesting mechanics and ideas, but that is unfortunately very janky, unpolished and a bit uninspired at times. Great for SG-1 fans, though.

Meet the Prince of Metroidvania. The recipe for this genre is so well perfected that a studio like Ubisoft can't possibly make something bad out of it. All jokes aside, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is extremely fun and visually flawless, with its beautiful environments, action-packed battles and challenging platforming puzzles. All in all, a perfect example of an amazing Metroidvania title.

Infinite Wealth is RGG Studio’s magnum opus. With a vast environment to explore and a few whole games embedded into its core, it’s definitely the best title in the series. It’s fun, silly and beautiful while still being an emotional send-off to Kiryu and his unforgettable adventure.

Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader was, besides Baldur’s Gate 3, my most anticipated game of 2023. Owlcat did an amazing job on Wrath of the Righteous and I expected that they would nail the Rogue Trader fantasy. Unfortunately, a lot of changes, bugs and a severe lack of voice acting completely ejects me from the immersion that is necessary for any 40k game. The deep progression system, while very confusing and not beginner-friendly, makes for a unique playthrough each time, but the very slow and boring combat hinders the pacing of a somewhat great CRPG.

Warcraft Rumble is a superbly designed action RTS game which offers deep tactical experience, a massive single-player campaign with 75 unique missions and boss battles, PvP, and other content to enjoy for months. Unfortunately, it's also plagued by predatory monetization tactics that exploit human weakness in order to make you spend an absurd amount of money.

How many spin-offs are we going to get before Persona 6? Jokes aside, Persona 5 Tactica is a great addition to the series, mostly focusing on tactical gameplay, as its name suggests. The only downside is the lack of some core Persona mechanics and features that have been a staple for the series for years.

Versus Rising makes up for everything the previous game was lacking, making this a highly refined experience. It is great for beginners, and even better for those who want to perfect their play styles. This is one of the most balanced and best looking fighting games of the current generation.

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.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered is not a remaster at all. At best it has some new features that should have been free. No Return roguelike game mode is lackluster and there is no point in playing it. TLOU combat was complementing the story, and it did so very well – unlike No Return which is basically hide and seek with extra steps. For a layman, the graphic improvements are unnoticeable, especially if you haven’t played it in a while, and there are a bunch of new bugs that were previously absent (falling through the ground, missing limbs on character models, etc). The lost chapters are neat to get some dev insight, but are almost unplayable, as they are mostly alpha. This should have been a free DLC for the fans and not a quick money grab. Naughty Dog, take a note from Santa Monica Studios.

WarioWare: Move It! manages to be one of the most entertaining entries of the franchise yet, especially if you plan on playing it with friends. And yet, once you check out and master all of the mini-games, you will hardly ever return to play it again.

Last Recollection refines the well established formula with a more fluid, flashy and fun combat system and finally gives us a conclusion to a long running arc, but the lack of visual improvements is so jarring it just can’t be overlooked.

Super Mario RPG is almost an ideal remake. It polishes a few flaws of the original but manages to preserve the core experience. It screams with all the retro colors, which makes it unbelievably refreshing for the modern age of gaming.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a true delight for the fans of the series, skillfully recreating one of the best titles the franchise had to offer. But if you weren’t a fan of the original game, there's a high chance you won't particularly enjoy this one either. The game features intriguing characters and their relationships, beautiful graphics and a diverse world. Yet, the story lacks depth, and the somewhat clunky combat system is likely to divide the audience into those who love it and those who wouldn’t even want to touch it.

This might be the best interpretation and adaptation of the RoboCop IP, as well as the greatest RoboCop game to date. Even though the gameplay can feel janky at times, Rogue City still offers a unique experience that you shouldn’t miss, especially if you’re a fan of the franchise.

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.

Once again, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio gives us a Gaiden game that’s almost as good as the main series titles. The gameplay is spiced up with a few fun gadgets that turn Kazuma Kiryu into a proper secret agent of the 007 caliber. Even though it’s not a main title, The Man Who Erased His Name still has one of the smallest maps in the series and the game itself is a little too short, but is insanely fun nonetheless.

Ghostrunner 2 adds some new ideas and improves on the old ones, making this already high paced, high adrenaline, one-hit-kill action packed FPS even more challenging and fun. The new bike sections are great and bring something new to the game, but the open world is lackluster and empty. I hope that Ghostrunner 3, if it ever sees the light of day, will be able to improve on the open world aspect but keep the overall feel of the game.

Despite the lack of improvements and changes since the last year’s installment, I won't be too harsh on FM24. Sports Interactive announced some big changes for next year, and if this is the last hoorah for this version of Football Manager, they can be very happy with what they have accomplished so far.

CoD: Modern Warfare III is a glorified DLC that should cost no more than $10. This is a ridiculous attempt at a “game” that has literally no new maps and a campaign that is set in Verdansk, a map from the first Warzone installment that was released four years ago! One of the worst gaming experiences.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a technical marvel due to its gorgeous open world with an alluring atmosphere that calls for exploration, but is unfortunately hindered by the “sameness” of Ubisoft open-world games from the past decade. It offers some new elements like wilder parkour sequences and more hunting oriented gameplay, but not even remotely enough to be hailed as something new or innovative.

The Invincible is a walking simulator with superb voice acting, perfect pacing, gorgeous alien scenery, intriguing space mystery, and an excellent soundtrack. Unfortunately, outdated and frustrating traversal mechanics are making the experience worse, but if you love Atompunk and retrofuturism, you should absolutely give this one a try.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder manages to grasp that piece of magic that somehow always felt reserved for the 3D titles of the franchise. It may not be a perfect experience, but whether you play with friends or enjoy its wonders alone, you will most definitely have a great time. It’s a new standard for what 2D Super Mario games should strive to be.

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.

Sonic Superstars somehow manages to be rough and inconsistent in terms of quality yet remarkably likable – just like the series itself has always been! It surely is a game that could use more polish and care, but even in the state that we found it in, it was a lot of fun. By no means a perfect Sonic experience but surely one of the most entertaining we’ve had in years.

This is a collection of some of the greatest video games in history. On the other hand, it’s based on an old HD collection and yet somehow manages to look and perform even worse than 12 years ago. In terms of what it is, it’s an amazing package. But in terms of care it’s given, it’s absolutely disappointing.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is truly a result of great power used with a great responsibility. It is one of the most enjoyable and fun games I have ever played. Even with its predictable story, it is an audio-visual masterpiece that is full of love and passion for what this superhero represents. A truly great experience.

If you love climbing, reading, mystery and slow-paced games, this one is a pick like no other! If you can’t stand any of these elements, we’d suggest giving this game a try either way. There is just something captivating in Jusant that you can’t easily find on the market these days.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 - Turbocharged is a great continuation of the iconic series that adds a story mode, better way to get cars, and more tweaks and fixes. Despite that, it didn’t really bring anything new or revolutionary to the arcade racing genre, making it somewhat underwhelming. The nostalgia factor is still there though.

Fate/Samurai Remnant brings one of the most unique Warriors style games ever. The characters and their relations require some patience from the player, but everything pays off in amazing emotional moments, fun action and great replay value.

Endless Dungeon is a successor to the great Dungeon of the Endless, but it flops on so many levels. The idea is there, but the gameplay is very repetitive and gets stale very quickly into the game. The rogue-lite elements help, but the sudden difficulty spikes did not encourage me to continue playing. The singleplayer mode offers an abysmal experience, but there is fun to be found in a multiplayer session with your friends.

The most attractive feature of eFootball 2024 is its free price tag. The rest of it is a package that seems to get little to no improvements with each new iteration. It’s a solid football simulation, but I wish Konami would put some more effort into the development.

This year, FIFA brings most of its changes in the shape of a new name for the franchise. In other aspects, it’s mostly the same old game with some additional flavors sprinkled around, unless you are really excited about the new mixed teams.

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless came a long way to deliver one of the most complete experiences you could ever ask of the franchise. Balanced and polished in terms of gameplay, Disgaea 7 could be the best one of them all so far. Just let the Switch version be your last choice if possible.

Phantom Liberty is a true redemption arc, more reflected in its free of charge changes depicted in the vanilla game, while still providing a very nice amount of content and espionage action to do with V in the new Dogtown district. Even though it is not as well written as the original, it has some great moments and stellar performances from its high profile cast, while diving more into the atmosphere that is Cyberpunk.

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.

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.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is an homage, a cover band of the early iterations of the series that tries as hard as it can to be respectful and bring the players back to the core of Assassin’s Creed. However, very basic combat and stealth mechanics, boring and forgettable story and clunky parkour mechanics are holding it back from being a truly great AC title. It does feel like an old Assassin’s Creed game, but it doesn’t play like one.

Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express is a great detective game, and the best part is that you don’t have to read the source material to enjoy it. It has some issues though - the choices in the game don’t really matter in the long run, and the setting is very, very bizarre - if you’re a long time Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot fan, you will probably find it to be pretty jarring.

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 Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails is a prime example that, even when games don’t age with grace in terms of visuals, they can still offer an amazing experience. Great characters and writing, fun combat and platforming and tons of content make this one of the most entertaining games of the genre. If you love action JRPGs, make sure not to miss this one.

Motorfest is a great addition to The Crew franchise with some great changes and additions, providing players with one of the best arcade driving systems to date. However, with its lacklustre usage of a marvellous open world and weird design limitations, it certainly could be better. Despite these flaws, it is still one of the most exciting driving games.

Starfield represents the first big Bethesda entry as an Xbox exclusive (better late than never), and it's a good one. While it is not completely ‘’bug free’’, the developers put a lot of work and passion into it. It might not be the most unique RPG ever, but it still offers an unforgettable experience backed with Bethesda's long history and expertise.

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.

2K24 brings enough upgrades to the table to keep things fresh. The Kobe Challenges and revamped animations make for some excellent highlights of the newest NBA simulation. Still, the absence of EuroLeague and increased microtransactions prevent the game from being one of the better entries in the series.

MK 1 is a definite upgrade in the gameplay department, making fights faster, more explosive and skill-based, bringing back the old special meter with 3 bars and introducing great new mechanics such as Cameo Fighters and aerial combos. It is a culmination of what NetherRealm has learned from the last two MK iterations and poses a great baseline for the future.

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.

Fae Farm simplifies farming to a point where you might not want to come back to the old ways of Animal Crossing and alike. It may be a different cup of tea altogether, but there’s just something satisfying in snappy and dynamic actions with zero wasted time. It may grow repetitive after a while and may not be awfully long, but surely is a refreshing title for the ever-growing genre of farming games.

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is an overall improvement compared to the previous game in the series but is still somewhat of a sidegrade. Some aspects of the game are great but others are still lacking. Overall, Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a step in the right direction for Invader Studios, and I can't wait to see what they decide to do with their next project.

Personally, I wouldn't say I liked Armored Core 6 since I was still high on the Elden Ring rush. As a rare mech game, it does a really good job at making you feel like you’re riding a powerful mech but it has little substance. Armoured Core 6 feels like a boss rush game with detail in mech customization, but the story lacks depth and engagement. Environments, granted very beautiful at times, are vast and vertical but feel like shallow backdrops or cardboard arenas you’d see in Power Rangers mech fights. AC6 will please many AC fans, but I don’t think it’s as strong as the other From Software titles.

Reverie is an amazing culmination of so many stories and characters over multiple games. However, if you’re new to the franchise, it’s a slow, annoying, and lore dumping experience that can get really tedious, and ultimately, not fun at all.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on the PC isn't just a game; it's a breathtaking showcase of technological feats. Whether you're a seasoned fan of the series or a newcomer ready to dive into dimensions unknown, this PC version promises an adventure that transcends platforms and defies expectations. With an optimal blend of technical innovation and creative brilliance, Rift Apart stands as a testament to the harmonious marriage of hardware and imagination. Don't just play the game; step through the rift and embark on an unforgettable journey.

If you are a Danganronpa fan, this is a title to shake up the genre we don’t see much of nowadays. Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is a gloomy and mature, yet wacky anime thriller mystery that promises a lot and delivers exactly as much. Presuming you don’t mind slower pacing and loads of loading screens, we can say with zero doubt - you are in for a treat.

Lifespace Traveler is a game that is hard to praise but easy to recommend. While its most impressive trait is the fact that it was made by a single person, this also stands as its biggest weakness. The lack of polish and size may drive you away from playing it, but you should give it a chance nonetheless. It is a challenging game made with love, which is so very obvious every step of the way.

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.

Influenced by the legendary Dino Crisis franchise, Exoprimal is a surprisingly fun and engaging game. Despite some repetitive missions and an occasionally unstable connection, I can safely say that Exoprimal is one of the most enjoyable titles in 2023.

Even though the magic of the old Disney platformers is somewhat lost, Illusion Island stands as a promise that it can be rekindled. Both experienced and less skilled players can enjoy this game cooperatively, and while it may not bring anything groundbreaking to the table, it’s great to see that the charm is still there. Seems that quality adventures starring Mickey Mouse won’t be just a thing of time past.

Dave the Diver is an absolute must-play if you are in the mood for some sushi and relaxation. It has its tense moments, but with its beautiful surroundings, an absurd amount of activities, and just pure hearted and wholesome nature, you will be sucked into this magical lagoon of heavenly food and fun.

Larian Studios' magnum opus. A pinnacle of RPG design that merges depth, uniqueness and writing of the best cRPGs with production quality and audio-visual presentation of AAA games. It is a new high for the video game industry.

Monstrum Nox builds greatly on the systems of its predecessor, making for a really fun title and a great promise to the tenth instalment. The PlayStation 5 version does not offer enough reasons for you to get it if you have already played the original. Still, its slightly refreshed visuals are surely welcome, especially since the only thing Ys games generally lack is better graphics.

Street Fighter 6 is one of the best fighting games of all time, period. It flourishes with its creative visual design, a pretty good graphics upgrade and a selection of multiplayer and single-player game modes that will see you explore the game with your custom avatar, all while its drive meter and innovative changes to combat redefining the whole experience creatively.

Stasis: Bone Totem is a modern point-and-click masterpiece. With award-worthy voice acting, unique and memorable characters, stunningly macabre yet beautiful locations, a perfect atmosphere, well-designed puzzles, and a captivating story, what more could you look for in an adventure game?

Simply put, Ravenlok is a perfect game for beginners of the genre. Its simplicity in gameplay and story makes it a good starting point. But for any experienced players, it will be just a quick, short and quite forgettable romp.

Miasma Chronicles is a step in the right direction, built on the foundations of the studio's previous game. You may call it a spiritual successor, but what it is, is an immersive, simple, yet enjoyable tactical RPG with an intriguing story and some nice graphics. If you are into strategizing and post-apocalyptic worlds, there's plenty to look forward to here.

F1 23 is the best F1 game, with amazing new physics, better driving and tires, and a great story campaign. The new F1 World mode is a truly addictive and fun multiplayer experience. Even with the career remaining the same, its gameplay resembles something close to the actual F1 experience. I hope microtransactions don’t get added in the future.

Diablo IV does not alter or revolutionize the two-decades-old formula but polishes it instead. While Blizzard admittedly ‘’played it safe’’, we can't deny it's a fantastic product that's easy to recommend. In its current state, it's one of the greatest entries in the series and by far the one with the best story. If microtransactions aren’t introduced later, Diablo IV will remain an amazing title to play for years to come.

Amnesia: The Bunker is a successful experiment for the renowned horror franchise, branching the series into survival horror, room escape, rogue-lite and extraction genres. Impeccable audio design and tense gameplay make for one of the scariest horror games in recent years.

Amnesia: The Bunker is a return to the roots of the original series instalment. Even though it sidestepped a bit from the overall mythos, the story was never as important as the sense of constant dread the game provides. As I’m not a horror fan, I had an awful time with this game, which is maybe the best compliment I can give it. Horror fans, rejoice!

Aliens: Dark Descent adds a hefty amount of ''Alien flavour'' to the well-established XCOM formula, making it a novel, fun, exciting and challenging experience. Even if you aren't an Alien fan, it is worth checking out if you're into team-based strategy games.

If Final Fantasy XV was meant to take the stray path, the 16th instalment made that path reach a worthy goal. Switching the old formula from a turn-based RPG to an all-out action-packed game may sadden some long-time fans. But the simple yet emotion-filled plot makes up for it, despite the sometimes awkward adult themes. Final Fantasy XVI somehow manages to stand on its own as one of the flashiest games ever and be a truly EIKONIK experience in every other aspect. Though wishing for the next one to rely a bit more on some of the traditional strengths of the series surely is a justified desire.

Warhammer 40K Boltgun is a fantastic boomer shooter that combines modern visuals and gameplay with a retro look and feel. The story is lacking, but at the end of the day, nothing matters when you’re ripping and tearing in the Emperor’s name. Boltgun, for all intents and purposes, serves as a bridge between Space Marine and its imminent sequel but can easily hold its own as a fantastic video game.

As if Gollum hasn't had his fair share of suffering, Daedalic Entertainment has decided that we have to share some more with him. Unfortunately, a potentially intriguing angle of storytelling and an ever-interesting world this time falls short in every sense imaginable - crashes that occur more often than you can count, unpolished gameplay, inconsistent voice acting and storytelling... Sadly, there are a few things more precious than your time - the time you could spend elsewhere, not playing a game that has lost its direction and, unfortunately, turned out plain bad.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a macabre metroidvania that is inconsistent at all levels. The gameplay is rough and imprecise, while the voice acting is, depending on the character, a mix of both horrible and amazing. Overall, the game fails to establish a definitive tone or direction. I expected so much more, and I genuinely hope that at least the gameplay aspect of the game will be fixed and improved in the future.

System Shock Remake isn’t for everyone, but it is a true gem if you actually give it a chance. With an updated visual design that is a love letter to the original’s aesthetics and some crucial gameplay changes that improve the overall experience, it is a justful and well-made remake of one of the most influential games of all time.

Redfall is a major disappointment from a well-established studio that brought us the hit Dishonored. While I expected an immersive sim that would build on the phenomenal foundations of their previous games, I got a cookie-cutter looter shooter with an empty world, a non-existent story and very little fun. With the steep price attached to this title, I would not recommend it even with a fat discount.

LEGO 2K Drive manages to capture the essence of kart games, and most importantly, lets your imagination roam free. You can create and alter vehicles indefinitely, then let them race on numerous tracks and finally, enjoy it all with your friends. Has a really charming story too.

Ghostlore is an enjoyable and engaging ARPG that brings a fresh spin on the genre. While it may appear relatively straightforward initially, it offers a refreshing experience by drawing inspiration from Asian mythology. Its skill and glyph systems add a touch of novelty, enabling players to experiment with various builds and making the game’s replay value sky high.

Darkest Dungeon II retained a lot of features that made the original great, implementing some new challenging mechanics as well. The sequel kept that unique ‘’Darkest Dungeon feel’’, yet it gave us a completely new experience.

CONVERGENCE: A League of Legends Story is another great title set in the well-established LoL universe. With some classic Metroidvania elements and innovative additions, CONVERGENCE offers an amazing gameplay experience. Even if you’re not that big of a fan of the genre, the game is worth trying out just for its beautiful art style and top-notch visuals.

Despite a few serious flaws that would be a huge drawback in most other scenarios, Tears of the Kingdom manages to throw so much at you that you can't help but grab the one thing you love the most. Whether you are into experimenting or defying ancient evil with little to no odds, this is a game that overshadows its predecessor so much that we'll hardly ever look back. Yet, hope for the future must come in the shape of something different since the potential of what we have here seems like it has reached the end of the cloud.

If you’re a fan of the Portal series, this game will be a real treat. The levels and puzzles are superbly designed, but the visuals, story and world-building are disappointing.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a great title hindered by the corporate sickness of releasing unpolished games. It is riddled with performance issues, even on consoles and the strongest of PCs. Despite all of these problems, Survivor is still a masterpiece. It is truly one of the best Star Wars games out there, but given its current state, it would be a good idea to wait until the most glaring issues are solved.
