With its striking stop-motion-like visuals, rich folklore-inspired world, and atmospheric soundtrack, South of Midnight offers a unique and memorable journey. A slightly repetitive yet distinctive Southern Gothic action-adventure, it delivers a simple, satisfying, and a hauntingly beautiful exploration experience.

Putting together the best elements from old classics and newer titles, this is probably one of the best RE's available.

Dry Drowning is not a perfect game but successfully presents itself as a typical, but intriguing cyberpunk noir visual novel that will provide you with at least some fun time, despite its cliché tropes and translation issues.

Hack and stab your way around as your mercenary heart finds fit. This is a nice action RPG fitting for Nintendo Switch. It has neatly polished animation and is just fun to play.

Whether you're looking for several hours of mystery and drama or just a magnificent world to explore, do yourself a favor and spare a few hours of your time to experience Firewatch.

Trials Rising is the latest game in the series, and possibly most fun of them all. The excitement I felt as a kid when I played Kickstart 2 on C64 is there, the fun of previous games in the series is there, great additions in form of customization, level building and welcoming community are there. All in all, Trials Rising is a great game!

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a stellar remaster that goes far beyond just visual enhancements, delivering a wealth of gameplay refinements and quality-of-life improvements. It’s an essential experience for longtime fans and a surprisingly welcoming entry point for newcomers to the series.

Control is one weird, surreal and astonishing experience. While it is lacklustre in some areas of gameplay and possesses some performance issues, it is a prime example in environmental storytelling and clever subtle narrative that encounters some thought-provoking themes.

Sweet, but short as cup of an espresso. In the time where it seems that adventures are a dead genre, it's good to see anything that resembles on them. And that's about it. Find the chips bag murderer and don't fall in love with hippo. Madness, but a good one.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a delightful remake of a Yakuza spin-off that genuinely does the original justice, expanding on the combat and making it even more fun. It offers an exciting murder mystery story and crazy side activities that may be a bit more serious this time (just a tad, though).

3D puzzle game in which you move three instruments trying to form a band. Somewhere along with the storyline you also become a space and movement strategizing guru. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all puzzle loving gamers.

An ode to joy. Unravel is a relaxing game that strikes a chord with many of its players. It is a calm, joyous adventure with not so complex puzzles nor gameplay, yet adorable little voyage you'll gladly take.

Blades of Fire tortured me physically, but that is my problem. I could not get in grip with the controls, I had trouble with the outline colors, and I could not get my muscle memory to get used to the control scheme. However, if we take all these personal issues away, Blades of Fire is a sleeper hit that will find its audience, even though it was not me.

BetaDwarf not only managed to create an addictive base game, but they hit it out of the park with a DLC that properly expands the experience. Settsa might get a nerf at one point, but it's tremendously fun to play.

Blasphemous is a visceral, morbid, gory metroidvania that has beautiful artwork, design and is coupled with challenging but fair gameplay and platforming. However, the world that enthralled me needed more lore to keep me overwhelmed

Little Big Workshop is a cute little tycoon game that presents more complexity than it initially shows. With its original design and some nice refined crafting systems, it will show you a couple of hours of fun, even with its minor flaws that can spike out to surface from time to time.

The game that will make you genuinely uneasy, Layers of Fear uses more subtle scare tactics to induce paranoia into the player, building a heavy atmosphere during its rather short runtime.

Automachef is a really fine and simple automatics system puzzler game. Even with its abundance of options and menus, which can be its good and bad thing. It is still a fine game with its price tag and offers hours of problem-solving missions.

Hide and Seek acts as a prequel to Hello Neighbor, game that got quite popular amongst streamers because of its horror elements, which are absent this time. You play a game of hide and seek between brother and sister, and main goal is to collect objects required for further progression and not get caught. It's a fun game but nothing really new.

With a massive selection of DC Super Heroes and Super Villains, Injustice 2 allows you to equip every iconic character with unique and powerful gear earned throughout the game. Experience an unprecedented level of control over how your favorite characters look, how they fight, and how they develop across a huge variety of game modes.

Mario Kart World dazzles with stunning visuals, an interconnected track system, and endless multiplayer fun, making it a strong launch title for the Switch 2. However, its cautious design, lack of deep customization and simplified gameplay hold it back from true greatness. The new content feels safe rather than bold and longtime fans may miss some of the series' more ambitious mechanics. Still, it's an undeniably fun racer that shines brightest with friends on the couch.

It may not be flawless, but it is still amazing just how good this trilogy stands despite the test of time. A compilation of Sigma and Razor's Edge games, you could call this a definitive collection of sorts when it comes to the 3D Ninja Gaiden titles. And even though the Switch version sacrifices resolution in order to achieve a perfect frame rate, it is such a joy to be able to take these games on the go.

If you have younger family members, Shopenkraft’s Magic Goods is a fantastic choice as an introduction to the world of VR. But even if you’re not in that age group — let’s be honest, we all enjoy escaping reality every now and then into a magical world. And what better place to do that than in the role of a shopkeeper in an enchanted store full of potions, secret ingredients, and extraordinary customers?

Just what the adrenaline junkies wanted for so many years, Redout is an audio-visual bomb that manages to deliver impressive sense of speed, brilliant track design and a thumping soundtrack.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is a high-octane love letter to 80s action-horror. By blending the chaotic scale of the Swarm Engine with satisfying arcade gunplay and heavy-duty vehicular combat, Saber Interactive has crafted a co-op experience that prioritizes pure, unadulterated fun. While it leans heavily on genre tropes, its infectious energy, neon-drenched aesthetic, and pulse-pounding synth soundtrack make it an essential play for fans of cooperative shooters.

The best thing about this game is its beauty, from the first to the last second of it you simply get to enjoy watching art deco stained glass puzzles with their vibrant colors. It is a gaming equivalent to a day under a blanket with a hot chocolate cup in your hands sifting through book pages on a rainy day.

F1 2019 is another great instalment to the ongoing Codemasters’ franchise of F1 games. Although it presents a bulk of quality of life updates, short story mode, and F2 license, it still isn’t much of a big upgrade from last year.

Dead Space remake improves the original in terms of visuals and audio vastly, yet gameplay remains mostly the same. It may not have aged that great, but for fans that just want a major graphical overhaul and some new content, this is a dream come true.

If you are up for some cute, simple and potentially cooperative action RPG experience starring a cat and a dog, well this game will be right up your alley. Not too long or complex, yet truly can satiate your hunger for the cute... And some hunger for the action and RPGs. Give it a try! If nothing, it will make you giggle.

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.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Remaster brings the PS2 classic to modern platforms with sharper visuals, smoother controls, and quality-of-life tweaks. It stays true to the original’s samurai-demon slashing roots while adding widescreen support, instant weapon switching, and brutal new difficulty modes. A faithful restoration with just enough polish. Unless you were itching for something a bit more…

Chronicles of the Wolf is a treat for fans of classic 2D Castlevania games, offering a richly detailed world and a strong sense of old-school atmosphere. While its exploration and presentation shine, the game keeps the challenge level relatively low and brings few innovations compared to modern metroidvanias. A nostalgic experience best suited for longtime genre devotees rather than players seeking fast-paced or experimental design.

While the game is called Overwatch 2, this all seems more like a transition to a full new game. The biggest changes are dropping the 6v6 gameplay in favour of a much more exciting 5v5 format. Three new heroes are also available, along with a new game mode, but for a final and real verdict, everyone should wait for the upcoming PvE segment.

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.

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.

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.

KIBORG is an ode to old beat-em-ups but in a roguelike setting. Even though the arenas are a bit bland, especially at the start of the game, the implant mechanic is fun enough to keep you invested just to see what you can build next. If you can forgive the overall blandness and the horrid voice acting, there is fun to be had with KIBORG. And it runs surprisingly well on a Steam Deck.

Nightreign is an asset flip done right. It may lack new content in comparison to its predecessor, but it compensates with fast paced gameplay and a very fun multiplayer experience that many fans will return to.

Little Nighmares III keeps the eerie charm of its predecessors, adding co-op play and great visuals, but limited multiplayer options and mild innovation hold it back from true greatness.

NBA 2K26 delivers the most polished basketball simulation yet, with smoother player movement, an improved shooting meter, and a stronger MyCareer narrative. However, persistent pay-to-win mechanics, heavy reliance on microtransactions, and occasional bugs hold it back. For die-hard fans, especially those invested in premium editions like Leave No Doubt, it’s still a must-play, but casual players may find the experience less rewarding without spending extra.

Exploring Warsaw at the onset of the 20th century and its many political and social topics is a fantastic experience. Expect intriguing characters, mature themes, enjoyable exploration and plenty of narrative role-play options. On the negative side, the combat quickly becomes repetitive, and some gameplay mechanics feel undercooked.

WWE 2K24 is probably the most complete and refined edition to date, especially under 2K. It presents really fun and in-depth MyGM and Universe modes, and while its MyRise and Showcase modes could bring more to the table, its fun gameplay and focus on actual singleplayer fun starts slowly redeeming the franchise after some serious pitfalls in the past. Well, unless you are a PC player…

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is a high-quality and well-polished remake which brings the old classic to modern standards. The game offers a good story, intriguing characters and diverse locations to explore, but don't expect challenging puzzles and gameplay.

An updated version of last year’s edition does not offer enough content to justify its full price. But as ever, if you want to play the newest edition, you have but one choice. Sure, it’s better, more realistic and updated with new events and data, but the fans of basketball deserve more than an annual recycle and sadly, this is just that and a bit more.

While the release of this and the anniversary collection at the same time (where this one makes for a lesser package) is an absolute mystery, the Wonder Boy Collection is a great pack of gaming history. Not only can you witness the way the series was shaped throughout the years, but its games remain fun to play even today.

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.

Even though unpolished, there’s a lot to enjoy in Outlaws. Sure, the game is plagued by some outstanding bugs and glitches, but when it works properly, it offers an interesting experience that does not heavily rely on the Jedi and the Force. It’s trying to do something new, fresh, and daring, and that is something worth praising it for.

Children of the Sun is a fun sniper shooting puzzler that offers very engaging gameplay, but just as it uses its mechanics to its fullest potential, it ends before you even realize it. It is very light on its story but flourishes with such a great dark atmosphere and flavour that it makes you wish it explored its world more and offered additional levels or alternate game modes.

Not a bad successor to the previous title, Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium delivers yet another batch of renowned classic arcade games. It delivers perfect emulation and a number of modern-day improvements. Maybe a couple of fighting games could have been left out in favour of something different, but there is no doubt anyone can find at least a few games up their alley in this collection.

Days Gone Remaster brings visual upgrades, improved performance, and new gameplay modes to an already atmospheric open-world survival experience. While the story lacks emotional depth and mission variety remains an issue, technical polish and fresh challenges like Horde Assault Mode breathe new life into the game.

Nintendo Switch Sports reignites that old fun factor of the original Wii sports games. While some are not that great, some are amazing, and some will be added in the future for free; starting 6 disciplines will surely give you and your friends a great time around the TV. Just don’t forget to strap on your JoyCons.

Really simple yet crazy game with all sorts of funny and amusing mechanics. But its physics can stand in the way of good fun, and cause you to rage. Pewdiepie collaborated in making of this game so expect plenty of memes, and the best part is that community is making amazing new levels to play daily

REANIMAL feels like a natural extension to the Little Nightmares franchise. It boasts stunning visuals, strong atmosphere and several genuinely memorable moments. However, uneven pacing, a dull first chapter, clunky controls, technical issues and poor PS5 performance hold it back from true greatness. It's a good horror adventure overall, but one that's more likely to be remembered for its frustrations than its brilliance.

CoD: Modern Warfare presents some of the best, although short, singleplayer experience franchise had to offer in a long time. On the other (multiplayer) hand, it has some of the funniest and satisfying gunplay, all riddled with bad map design and some unrefined new game modes.

Though a really neat game, Super Mario Odyssey is an utterly underwhelming adventure for every long-term Super Mario fan in existence. Unless Cappy brainwashed you. In that case, you are a satisfied zombie customer now. No, seriously, only a zombie would find a healthy challenge in this pleasant but disappointingly easy Super Mario Walk-in-the-park. Sorry - Odyssey.

Full of intrigue, action and excitement, The Devil's Daughter is an immensely fun game. But, this isn’t really a puzzle game, even if you're playing as the most famous detective in the world. There might not be huge challenges to overcome, but it's still a very satisfying journey for every Sherlock Holmes fan.

Great visual design and detailed progression system, but gameplay can quickly become repetitive and tedious.

A creative mix of metroidvania and roguelite elements, Never Grave offers solid combat and a fun possession mechanic. Repetitive progression and forced resets hurt the pacing, but the game remains an enjoyable and interesting experiment.

Even without state of the art graphics, Demetrios stands strong with its solid length, charm and humor so rarely seen in modern gaming.

One Piece Odyssey surprisingly captures the charm of the show. The world is great, and the action looks superb. Even though the story is shallow and predictable, with too much backtracking, and the battles are far too easy, this is one of the best One Piece video games ever made. If you like the show, don’t miss out on grabbing this treasure.

The unique and beautiful art style of the previous games in the series is raised to the next level in Lorelai. Unfortunately, games fail to capture the same psychologically dark and disturbing atmosphere of the first 2 games, but it's still a great game!

Papers, Please with a Brexit twist! Fun game with come nice humor and atmospheric music, with cute pixel visuals.

Fade to Silence is a survival horror RPG simulator, which is maybe too real for its own good. Yes, the idea of living a life in harsh environment and leading a group against the monsters and the weather sounds great for a game, but we don`t think many fans of horror or simulation genre will have patience and commitment to play this game as long as it should be played.

As a single-player game, Evil Dead: The Game fails in almost every way possible. But as a multiplayer experience, this is an authentic Evil Dead ride that no fan should ever miss. While it’s a bit rough on the edges with a few glitches that most fans would forgive, it is one of the best titles of the genre so far.

Even with some slight adjustments to the formula, Hard Reset still holds up quite well. Rebalances and small improvements in the Redux version are life-savers, making it one of the most satisfying shooters of 2016.

A worthy successor to the Retro City Rampage, this is a 16-bit pack full of action and explosions that destroy even the fourth wall and jump right into your heart. If you loved GTA and the 16-bit era, you will love this game.

With memorable art style and brilliant narrator, Guild of Dungeoneering is a whimsical card game with RPG elements. A light-hearted adventure that lacks depth, but offers a really fun challenge.

It might take a lot to make a stew, but Overcooked brews one delicious soup that's ideal for those gatherings where you just need a little break and have a hilarious bit of fun.

There is plenty to wish for in this anime mash-up, but thankfully a lot of good things that Jump Force delivers will keep you occupied and prevent the much needed nitpicking. So after all the initial hype diminishes, let us all join and shout - the next "jump" game needs to be much better!

Even with some omissions in game modes and questionable microtransactions policy, new Guitar Hero is simply a blast to play and brandishes an improved plastic guitar.

Even without massively crowded areas, the sheer scale of Sapienza is well worth the entry price for Agent 47's second episodic outing. It is a welcome improvement over the first episode, although still far from greatness we expect from Hitman games.

Beautiful artistic design and great atmosphere are sadly somewhat overshadowed by sloppy mechanics and unbalanced gameplay.

Playing Sniper Elite series is getting more and more interesting with every new instalment of the franchise. Its clever level design in combination with a brutal XRay camera is a winning combination. But a weak story and sometimes sluggish AI are the main reasons why this AAA game does not deserve a top score.

Everdeep Aurora is a gentle, narrative-driven platformer. Explore an underground world through the eyes of Shell, a feline child looking for her mother. Atmospheric pixel art and vague navigation won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. But if it’s yours, this could be a gem you’ll cherish for a long time.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked delivers an accessible, charming and tactically engaging D&D-lite experience, even if its simplified structure and progression flaws keep it from reaching true depth. It’s fun, clever, and welcoming, which is perfect for players who are just starting their D&D journey.

So-called "love letters" can leave a person with a broken heart. While true to the classic, Wonder Boy - The Dragon's Trap does little to improve on the three decades old formula. While old players will love it, new ones might find this piece of old school classic a little bit too stale.

OkunoKA redesigns the Super Meat Boy formula into a colorful and detailed, fast-paced, trial and error experience. Truth be told, it's a bit too detailed, and that makes the game even harder when the graphics get in the way of precise platforming. Still, a challenging game and a recommendation for any hardcore Super Meat Boy fans out there.

The horror in this game is reaching new levels of gore, and audio component is great, but unfortunately game fails at capitalising on some good, but unfinished story parts.

Complex and challenging card game, but with some fundamental flaws and bad monetization system that basically killed the game even before it went out.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 delivers a faithful yet refreshed take on two skateboarding classics, with new maps, QoL upgrades, and a massive dose of nostalgia. While some levels and tracks are missing, and a few clunky moments remain, the smooth gameplay, customisation options, and lack of microtransactions make this a must-play for fans and newcomers alike.

Tormented Souls 2 delivers a tense, retro-inspired survival horror experience that successfully builds on its predecessor. Fast-paced combat, clever boss encounters, and a larger, more varied world elevate the series, while resource scarcity and strategic inventory management keep the tension high. Balance issues, occasional bugs, and a few pacing problems prevent it from being flawless, but fans of classic survival horror and the first game will find plenty to enjoy.

Hidden Agenda is a couch co-op adventure game played with a smartphone. It has some narrative issues, but was still fun to play with friends.

After turbulent end of the last year, EA managed to release a good game in UFC 3 without many scandals. The game itself is better than its predecessor, but it still lacks a way to connect with players new to this sport. New GOAT mode is a great innovation and adds a new twist to the known career mode. Fighting, even though it’s very good, still has problems, which are already annoying the players.

Unravel Two changes the formula in ways it improves the game, but diminishes the strong atmosphere. So it's a win-lose situation. But fear not, it is still a great game -AND you can enjoy it with a friend, in an all new co-op mode. It deserves the third installment, fair and square.

Hitman 2 follows the 2016 game in almost every aspect. It looks and feels pretty similar, which is nothing less than a good thing, concerning the quality of the first game. For now, we should ask for nothing more, but let us hope a new installation brings yet another evolution to the table.

Crashlands defies some of the survival genre laws, and offers a more dynamic gameplay, more inviting world and more space in your inventory. Or should I say - infinite space! Yet, world feels quite linear which lowers the final score. But this still remains a different survival game, that changed the rules and should not be skipped, if you are into the genre.

Still Not Dead is a perfect game if you want to relive the days from the original DOOM era. A really challenging game with brilliant system of curses and blessings, and being chased by Death is a unique experience, if you don’t count real life, of course.

Still has a great atmosphere, but that unique magic from the original is simply not there.

If you are in the mood for some brain puzzles, Unforeseen Incidents can be a good choice for you this month. It builds great atmosphere through the story, characters, and voice acting. Animations are lacking and quality of graphics can wary, but that is something acceptable in this genre. If you are a fan of P&C adventure games, you should not miss this one.

Dissidia FF is a spin-off title with all focus on one aspect, which is fighting. The gameplay is fine, although sometimes chaotic, but the decision to lock story content behind fighting is a mistake. Solid title, nothing more, nothing less.

A game based of an anime based of the sorcery-school concept... Well, if you are into the anime, go for it. If not, I suggest you give up momentarily. Repetitive and bland action make this title a bore and a chore for your average gamer Joe. But is still better than most of the Harry Potter games.

With a sixth game in series from the same creator, one would expect leaps and bounds of improvements during the course of several years. Sadly, we are still waiting for a great wrestling game to hit our gaming systems. WWE 2K19 offers a lot of things, but most of them are just old stuff with minor improvements or returning additions due to fans outcry.

STONE represents a walking simulator with great emphasis on atmosphere and soundtrack, so expect a lot of stoner rock while trying to find your love.

The Swindle on the Switch plays just as good as when it was originally released. It's is a merciless, ruthless, blood boiling experience you cannot find just anywhere. Not for the faint of heart, but a sheer joy for ones capable enough to see through the big heist.

Paratopic is a lo-fi horror game that represents golden PS1 era with its style, graphics and ability to complete it in one sitting.

The original DKC Returns pushed the genre so far that now, 15 years later, it is obvious just how much this game has aged. Some graphical improvements keep the game fresh but it still can’t hide the outdated design, which makes the new price tag even less justified. It is the definitive edition of this cult classic, yet it did not age all that gracefully.

Chrono Cross has been and still remains one of the greatest JRPG titles of all time. As such, remastering it properly would require utmost care and love, making the game shine once more in the modern era of video games. Unfortunately, this remaster is of no such sort as some of the improvements made the game look even worse than the original. But as it still remains what it is at its core, Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers edition is undoubtedly worthy of your time.

Even though The Show 22 provides players with some great gameplay changes and improvements, SDS still offers nothing new to the single-player modes. It still is a great baseball simulation, but the lack of upgrades sadly provides existing players with little reason to transfer to the new iteration, besides this season’s new dynamic content in Diamond Dynasty.
