Bayonetta 3 once again manages to amaze new and returning players alike with its fast pace and new wild combat options. If you are here for some spectacular action, you have come to the right place.

MIO tries to shake up the Metroidvania formula in a few interesting ways. Some of its design choices may not appeal to everyone at first, but the challenge ultimately pays off. Fans of the genre willing to stick with it will likely find something to enjoy.

Ode is a great musical platformer able to entertain everyone. Simplicity is one of its best elements, because it gives you a heartwarming welcome after a hard day. Everything in this game makes for a perfect sound and by going forward you get a final melody filled with happiness. Besides a lack of levels there are no bad things here.

Pathologic 3 is a bold and cerebral reimagining of an already legendary series, trading raw tension for deeper immersion and narrative complexity. Its time-travel mechanics and richly written protagonist create a uniquely introspective experience, even as technical issues and inconsistent systems occasionally break the flow. Flawed but fascinating, it remains one of the most intellectually ambitious games of its kind.

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is another great remake-sequel, and it is a sign that we need to support THQ Nordic more. Who knows, we might even get a full-on sequel in time!

UNBEATABLE is a clear passion project that proves the rhythm genre can be about much more than just flashy tracks and timed button presses. Its story is engaging, the characters are vibrant and full of energy, and the soundtrack is packed with absolute bangers.

Neo: The World Ends with You is a great sequel that is almost worth all the wait. Primarily because the wait was 14 years long, and not because there is something majorly wrong with the title. Great music, great characters, flashy combat and a fun story, make this a sequel worthy of the beloved original. If only the pace was a bit more upbeat…

An ambitious mix of themes and characters that are equally engaging, bizarre and funny.

Scarlet Nexus is a fun action RPG-lite that has a complex story and a bunch of unnecessary gaming mechanics that somehow work. If you like games like Astral Chain, you will not go wrong with Scarlet Nexus, especially as it’s being set up as a potential future franchise. The combination of telekinesis and action elements are nothing new, but SN does it beautifully by combining it with other different skills and magics. If you like Anime and brainpunk themes, Scarlet Nexus is for you.

Co-op is where Magicka really shines. You’ll forget about the inconsistent camera and unpolished controls, because you’ll be too busy having fun while playing the game.

Twelve Minutes is a welcoming innovation in the video games industry, with a fully fledged all-star cast that does the job masterfully. Sadly it possesses some drawbacks in the form of immense repetitiveness in the later segments, but it shines with its excellently written story and interesting design.

Forgive me Father mashes 2.5D with comic-style graphics and Lovecraft themes to bring you a back-breakingly fast-paced and frantic shooter that rewards precision and good ammo management.

Tribes of Midgard possesses a promising concept and great tincture of rogue-lite elements and survival genre. At the same time, it is a great co-op experience, and frustratingly annoying due to its bad balancing issues and potentially steep difficulty curve for new players to the genre. It still shines in most of its parts with its astonishing visual design and catchy gameplay loop.

There are JRPGs that break boundaries and experiment with crazy ideas. Ys is not that kind of game, but instead just focuses on delivering a great and complete experience with well designed known systems and cool characters. Monstrum Nox continues Adol’s story with brand new crazy adventures.

Studio Deck Nine had the difficult job of fulfilling great expectations and they started in the right direction.

Dying Light 2 is a very interesting and specific experience. It disappoints with its “meh” story and weirdly boring characters, but where its shadow is darkest, there are also areas where it shines the brightest. Its gameplay, most notably parkour, are ridiculously fun, intuitive and open-ended, with great adrenaline segments in the form of the day-night cycle that provide almost completely different gameplay experiences that shall provide you with a lot of hours of fun for sure.

Revita is a dynamic, roguelite, twin-stick, 2D action platformer that redefines the control scheme in a mind-boggling fashion, yet if you get used to it… You will be in for quite a ride.

The atmosphere and the feeling of being lost and hopeless in a harsh environment is where Kholat really delivers its memorable experience.

The Long Dark is a survival game, one of many some will say, but with its interesting story and a touch of mystery, we’ve got a very good game before us.

Sonic Frontiers starts slow and puts you in a state of confusion. But as the game unravels further, it turns out to be an unforgettable and highly entertaining experience. It lacks a lot of polish, but even that does not manage to diminish the skyrocketing fun factor that will surely keep you hooked for hours.

Sounds like escaping the Matrix, but Game Freak finally jumped out of the three decades old formula and gave it a new groove. An open world, a more dynamic catching mechanic and a more involved trainer are just some of the new flavours. Drawbacks this time around come in the shape of empty and pretty lifeless environments as well as lower graphical quality and glitches, but they don’t take away much of the overall enjoyment. Yet they surely remain something that needs more work once this amazing turn in the franchise settles in. The roots have been planted. Now, all it needs is to grow. Pardon me – evolve!

Soul Hackers 2 is a surprising sequel. But another surprising thing is its accessibility and openness to the new players of the whole Shin Megami Tensei franchise. If this is to be your first one, it’s an excellent step to take.

If you are a fan of mystery, intrigue and adventure, you are going to have one hell of a time playing Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. With a beautiful setting, amazing character interactions and great puzzles, this is one of the best ‘’detective simulations’’ out there.

This is an amazing nostalgic collection for any TMNT fan, but also for anyone who wants to experience a bit of gaming ancient history, especially the difficulty.

Great game. Compared to the last year’s installment we can see improvements in all aspects. Graphics are better, penalty system is good now, nothing random will occur. But, this is still way too hard for anyone except the hardcore rally fans.

Konami managed to make the best Yu-gi-oh adaptation to this day that will bring many surprises to both old and new players because this game isn’t the same one we used to play 15-20 years ago. The learning curve is huge and it requires a lot of time to learn all the decks currently available, so be ready for a lot of grinds.

Triangle Strategy is an excellent addition to the genre, but it might be a disappointment for fans who were expecting a FFT or a Tactics Ogre Clone. The story is great, the replayability is high, and the gameplay is almost completely devoid of grind, but it still might be a turn-off for some players because of its steep price.

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!
