A gorgeous, utterly immersive and hugely satisfying conclusion to one of the greatest video game narratives of all time.

Attila offers a new "horde" mechanic and re-introduces obsolete game-play elements like the family trees progression back into the Total War series. In general, it should be considered a much better version of Rome 2 in every aspect, in a more interesting historical setting. Should you find yourself in a dilemma between Rome II: Emperor Edition and Attila, I would definitely suggest the latter.

Highly accessible to newcomers whilst providing a solid challenge for pinball wizards and perfectly channeling the essence and spirit of the Walking Dead game, this table is the ideal starting point for the amazing world of Pinball FX2. Miss at your own peril.

Regardless the pitfalls, Tales of Berseria is a high quality JRPG, featuring a great cast of characters and an interesting story, which guarantee plenty hours of fun to the fans of the genre.

Despite certain shortcomings regarding both its single-player and multiplayer content, Star Wars: Squadrons is a glorious, nostalgic throwback to a game genre that has been sorely missing from our lives for more than 20 years.

Stasis is an intricately crafted adventure game that plays skillfully on the borders of horror and science fiction. Rational puzzles and elaborate world building will accompany you, while you plunge more and more intro decadence and decay. The Brotherhood should be proud of their achievement, given the fact that renowned adventure game creators with plenty of resources at their disposal have failed to deliver on their initial promise. Stasis delivers in spades and whets our appetite for the studio's future works.

Trepang2 could have been a gem in the FPS genre, as it has an enviable combat mechanic, but the rest of the structure is mediocre. However, the foundations it lays are solid, so a potential sequel is capable of being a milestone for the genre, as was the case with its inspirator.

Late Shift delivers on its premise. A true interactive movie where player decisions have an impact and meaningfully alter the narrative. The story will not impress genre buffs but it stands head and shoulders above Telltales’ efforts in the field and points to a very viable future for this beloved cult genre.

The last DLC offers a resource management and manufacturing line system that other games offer as a standalone feature. The new mechanics blend nicely with the existing trouble of organizing an efficient city traffic grid, offering welcome challenge. Along with other minor features all in all Industries is a pleasant addition albeit somewhat pricey.

Even though the similarities between Vermintide and the L4D series are literally everywhere, Fatshark managed to pull out an astonishing feat by delivering a heavily entertaining title. The grim atmosphere of the Warhammer universe is properly delivered and the gameplay is accessible and familiar to most. The downsides are the lack of dedicated servers and the somewhat imbalanced loot roll system. We are eager to see what are the future plans for Fatshark's new born child.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising may not be aiming towards something specific, but it is still a very entertaining title with tons of activities to spend your time with. Its components will surely satisfy the majority of players, but not the most demanding who look for a more focused experience.

Now that all episodes have been completed, we can say that Bear with Me is a decent point 'n' click adventure worth taking a look at, even though it will not change your life or push your brain cells to its limits.

After Dark is a good expansion to a solid game. It does not alter the experience of the core game, but definitely adds to it in various and interesting ways. It is well worth your time and you will spend countless hours in your new 24/7 cities.

With well designed and unique graphics, a majestic soundtrack and plenty of historical and mythological references, Jotun takes its rightful place in the halls of Valhalla.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a game full of character. Even though it deals with one of humanity's bloodiest chapters it is not an extremely violent game. It delivers its purpose which is to educate about the Great War, and it does not fail to deliver the necessary feel to the proper ending.

Some early technical and content shortcomings aside, the nostalgic single-player campaign and typically exciting Call of Duty multiplayer make sure that Modern Warfare II conveys the same and more intense emotions as its "Not Balanced for Lean" progenitor back in 2009.

Distilling some of the magic of the 90s, Alaloth provides an unassuming trip down the memory lane.

A collection that is primarily based on the player's nostalgic mood, offering twelve classic games and a decent online mode. It is a nice recap for newcomers too, although it will not, perhaps, keep them occupied for too long.

A Hat in Time is a 3d platformer that offers unadulterated enjoyment, marred only by some slight technical issues, such as camera hiccups and occasional clipping. After the credits have rolled you' ll be craving for more, so some additional content in the form of extra chapters and power ups would be welcomed. On the whole, a great game and a worthy contender for the throne of the genre, on PCs at least.

The "Final Cut" version brings the gameplay mechanisms from The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III to the whole adventure. With great respect to the gamers who already have all three games of the trilogy, there is no doubt that it is one of the best action/RPG games of recent years.

Assassin's Creed: Shadows does not reinvent the wheel, nor is it the landmark game that will redefine gaming. Nevertheless, it's a worthy and well-crafted Assassin's Creed title that will certainly satisfy fans of the series, probably win over some who had left it some years ago, but will hardly convince its detractors to bother with it.

A strong sequel and a quality addition to the open world action genre.

In Ion Fury there are no fancy cutscenes and QTEs, health regeneration or skill trees, just good, old, balls-to-the-wall action. If you have enjoyed games such as Duke Nukem 3D, Blood or Shadow Warrior, then you'll have a blast with this game too.

The Following is the definition of a true expansion with rich content and more gameplay from the core game Dying Light. The buggy is also an important addition with great fun-factor.

Blazing Chrome is a great game for its kind, as it could easily be declared as a sequel of Contra, without anyone being misunderstood. If you want to test your skills on a hard-boiled old school run 'n' gun game, you will not find anything better than this one.

A beautifully morbid adventure game that imposes its own mechanics of time management on the player's reality, causing either introspection or frustration. Ironically launched in a period where time is plenty and fruitful introspection is sorely needed.

The folks at Supermassive Games offer us a delightful choose your own adventure experience, with an 80's horror VHS backdrop. I would recommend The Quarry to both fans of interactive storytelling and people who are not well versed in survival horror games or are easily stressed by them.

The Division provides a solid experience, with its solid, yet not revolutionary, gameplay mechanics. What makes the game special is the depiction of a modern, post-apocalyptic New York, which provides a satisfactory exploration experience. Overall, a job well done by Ubi.

Sadly the final score has to be lower than originally expected, at least until the developers can fix the issues. Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition is essentially the great PC version we've been waiting for all these years, it is priced quite reasonably and, under normal conditions, I would recommend the game wholeheartedly to fans of the series and newcomers alike, but not until all the bugs have been squashed. Until then, keep your money in your pockets.

Even though it’s the first attempt of Blyts in adventure games, with limited budget available, this game gave me around 4.5 hours of fun that I would gladly repeat. At the same time it makes me wonder what else this indie Argentinian company can offer us in the future.

A solid, heavily atmospheric adventure game that evokes the true gothic horror of Howard Philip Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. If you can get past the 4-bit uber-retro graphics presentation, you're in for a gripping ride to the dark side that you will not be forgetting any time soon.

The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk is a worthy sequel to the first game and it offers just what you would expect from a point 'n' click adventure: a wonderful fantasy world, a beautiful story to tell, funny dialogues and a lot of smart (and sometimes crazy) puzzles.

In addition to concluding the White March storyline in a suitably epic fashion, Part 2 also marks the ending of the first leg of the beautiful journey we undertook back in September 2012 when the Pillars of Eternity Kickstarter campaign was launched. Here’s to hoping that the journey continues soon with Pillars of Eternity 2.

Imaginative, home to a perfect 80's AOR slow-walk montage as well as the silliest tribute to Scarface's epic final scene to ever surface in a video-game, it's very hard not to fall in love with Tales from the Borderlands as it reaches its inevitable climax.

Savage, uncompromising road poetry. Every word spoken, every line of text written, every character portrayed, all painfully real. Kerouac would have been proud.

By far the largest, most rife with opportunities map Io Interactive has presented in Hitman's current incarnation. Impressive, living crowds and high difficulty aiming at franchise veterans make this the strongest episode yet and a terrific indicator of things to come.

Even after a three year delay, Outland is still a great and fun game.

Fury Unleashed is all about decimating your enemies as fast as possible to keep that kill counter going while avoiding getting hurt in the process. Despite some balance issues, it's an enjoyable roguelike run 'n gun game, but unfortunately it'll be over before you know it.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is another remarkable Team Ninja production, which in my opinion, shouldn't be seen as a "sequel to NiOh", but as a different "fruit". Familiar, but different, just as Sekiro was different from Dark Souls. With that correlation in mind, the game is highly recommended to fans of the genre. For the rest, there's also the demo.

A typical annual release with some additions and improvements but nothing that drastically changes the experience.

Although Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak doesn’t reinvent the wheel, there is no denying that it is a superb example of how modern Real Time Strategy games should look, feel and play. Accessible, intense and hauntingly beautiful at times, it manages to present a gripping tale of agony and desperation through one of the best single player campaigns the genre has ever witnessed.

It might not be the most innovative DLC as far as core gameplay elements are concerned, but the new types of hard challenges and dilemmas it offers, as well as its extremely interesting additions to the game's lore, make the Last Autumn a more than worthy addition to the Frostpunk universe.

Among the endless ocean of multiplayer twitch shooter games, it was about time we got a slow-paced, tactical FPS where team-work is everything. Well optimized, well balanced and the fact that future maps and operators aren't locked behind a pay-wall but will be accessible to all, make for great value. Here's hoping that Ubisoft will be fast enough to deploy a proper fix for its main aspect though, the netcode, before frustration kicks in.

Despite its flaws (technical or otherwise), Warlords of New York and its accompanying free Update add high-quality content that takes place in a familiar, fan-favorite location, together with a huge number of wider changes and additions to the game's core gameplay that promise to increase the quality of life for all prospective Division Agents.

Blizzard plays it safe, incorporating few innovations while trying to salvage the lore situation of Warcraft due to its constant escalation. Despite all this, BfA remains an entertaining expansion with a lot to offer in endgame for a casual player.

Druidstone draws inspiration from a variety of genres (even tabletop boardgames) and combines all those elements elegantly. Its whimsical writing and beautiful (Trine-sque) art should not fool you. This is a game which will put your tactical planning skills to the test and demand forward thinking in the development of your characters. Another spectacular result from the makers of the Legend of Grimrock series.

Rock 'n' Roll Will Never Die is an adventure worth trying at some point in your life, especially if you are a rock culture lover. It may not impress with the ingenuity of its puzzles, but its satire of rock music's cliches and misconceptions is so successful that I doubt there will be anyone in the future who does it better.

Impressive remake, not completely true to the original and with some anachronistic gameplay mechanisms, but it remains the best Mafia game of the series.

Incredible visuals and an epic,timeless soundtrack frame a rock solid Metroidvania styled adventure, that feels like the 2015 dream-child of the legendary Gods and Hippodrome games of yore. The controls may be a bit loose but this is one adventure that you simply cannot afford to miss.

Heading towards its finale, this unique game has all the potential of becoming one of the modern games which will be mentioned in the years to come, as the classic and most important representatives of the point 'n' click genre. If nothing goes terribly wrong with the third and final part, it certainly will achieve that.

An uncommon mold of RPG and turn-based strategy, BATTLETECH demands time, planning ahead and good micromanagement. The vast choices of mech customization and its strategic elements will reward you with a lot of satisfaction. Invest and become immersed in its cosmos.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a very remarkable member of the Borderlands family, in terms of pure fun the best moment of the series since Borderlands 2. Though smaller in scope than the main games, it's still satisfying, and it will speak directly to the hearts of those who love tabletop RPG gaming.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a visual novella that masterfully manages to creep up on you, shatter the 4th wall with a sledgehammer and land it on your unsuspecting face.

Indivisible may not have the most profound story ever or the most intricate RPG mechanics, but it's simply a blast to play from start to finish.

Stellaris is currently rushed and rough around the edges, but has the makings of a great 4X epic.

Episode 3 highlights the collaboration between characters in a better way than its predecessors. Taking under consideration the terrifying atmosphere, it can be easily named as the best episode in the series so far.

A suitably powerful finale that solidifies Telltale's mastery of the genre. It remains to be seen whether or not they can diversify their gameplay enough in order to make a third season of the Walking Dead a viable and vital addition to gaming, instead of a Las Vegas type one-trick pony. If anyone can pull it off, it's Telltale.

Scarlet Nexus has paid a lot of attention to the action part and succeeds very well in delivering an intense, fun, and enjoyable game. If there was a more substantial story, more imagination in the latter stages of the game and more RPG elements, our impressions would be better. However, the hours we spent with it were not wasted at all and it is a worthwhile addition for fans of Japanese action games to their collection.

System Shock of 2023 pulls no punches and remains every bit old-school as it was back in the day, albeit some quality of life improvements. With gameplay that has aged like fine wine and an imposing villain in the face of SHODAN, this iteration of System Shock is the optimal way to experience the father of immersive sims in the present day.

An entertaining roguelite and an interesting new direction for the venerable series. Recommended, despite the buggy launch.

A stunningly beautiful game that is significantly enhanced in content and replayability by the Encounters DLC. If you enjoy trekking through Everspace’s varied space environments in search of loot and adventure then the Encounters DLC is a must-buy.

Lost in Random is a gothic tale with charming world-building and mature writing. The battle system unfortunately does not allow the whole project to claim a place in the undisputed must plays of the year.

Project Warlock is a tastefully designed throwback to an era of classic shooters and teenage escapism, and as one would expect, shooting things in this game is so damn gratifying.

The best Star Wars game of recent years is unfortunately plagued by serious technical problems that dampen the enjoyment.

A dark, unforgiving descent into one family’s darkest secrets, brilliantly stylized and exquisitely paced and acted. Hauer is in top form as the cynical, tired, end-of-the-road Detective Lazarski and Observer lives to subvert any possible genre expectations you might approach it with.

Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit is an adventure that pushes all the right buttons for fans of the genre. It features a beautiful story, well-written dialogues, enough interesting Lithuanian history and the necessary mystery to keep the player's curiosity high until the credits roll. Even with its slightly disappointing ending, this is a game you ought to add to your collection.

The game is a great adaptation of a very complex book. Dive into medieval ages, follow fascinating characters and make tough choices. Pillars of the Earth has stunning visuals and an amazing soundtrack. Although it's not a very challenging game, you can still have a good time with it.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is for the most part a very enjoyable experience. A pure singleplayer title with a beefy campaign (at least 15-20 hours), smart and quality writing, great presentation and faithfulness to the universe it translates to game form.

The grinding nature of Battle Chasers: Nightwar does not condemn it to oblivion, as all the other parts of it are nearly great and the game becomes often really entertaining. If you know what to expect, then invest without remorse in a remarkable but far from perfect RPG.

It's a new Trine, and there's a lot of it. It offers exactly what old fans of the series have come to expect and has all the makings of introducing new fans to the adventures of Amadeus, Zoya and Pontius.

Sniper Elite 4 is a pretty good game - there is no doubt about it. Having struck a good balance between TPS and stealth, it is perfectly capable of entertaining fans of both genres. However, perhaps the time has come for Rebellion to experiment with other eras besides WW2.

An unapologetically hardcore, deliciously twisted take on the turn based tactical combat genre. Come for the dry humour and intriguing anarchy, stay for the deep and satisfying mechanics.

Human Resource Machine has a nice concept that combines puzzles with assembly programming. The lack of a tutorial or a hint system will incommode non-programmers and this is game's only real problem. The game isn't exactly some kind of educational stuff but it can be an inspiration for further occupation with informatics.

Episode 4 is set in exotic Thailand, offering us two targets, a huge hotel map and of course, plenty of ways to plan the perfect assassination. With what we have on our hands so far, IO Interactive has convinced us that we are to get a true and worthy successor to Blood Money. We are eager to see what they have under their sleeves for the remaining episodes.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is one of Don't Nod's best games and generally a very worthwhile proposition for fans of single-player action/"RPG" games, with an emphasis on plot. It's not foolproof, it doesn't contain any particular innovations, but it's thoughtful in almost every aspect and extremely well-written.

Despite any flaws, in whatever gameplay area they might be found, Rogue Trader was undoubtedly created by people with passion and knowledge of the setting and lore, who sought to create an excellent Warhammer RPG and, for the most part, they succeeded.

Kunai is quite entertaining with its frantic action and acrobatics and while it doesn't do anything blatantly wrong, in terms of fascinating discoveries and memorable set pieces it has little to offer.

Hand of Fate is not easy to recommend to everyone, due to its uniqueness. However the interesting hybrid of genres is quite original and if you take a look at it, maybe you will find a hidden treasure for your game library.

Tormented Souls 2 is more of the same, but that's not a bad thing. Even though the encounter design can become frustrating at times, the game is packed with content, varied puzzles and a haunting atmosphere. It's a good time to be a survival horror fan.

Trials of Mana is a qualitative remake of Seiken Densetsu 3, cleverly adapted to the modern era, but at the same time captive to the original game in elements such as the mediocre narration and the minor story character development.

Even though the story seems to be completely on rails by this point, with player input influencing practically nothing, Telltale still manages to deliver cinema-quality storytelling and entertainment. If a third season of the Walking Dead is to be successful however, major changes have to be made to a formula, that after a triumphant run, begins to show signs of fatigue.

RiME is the essence of the Mediterranean soul, with its joys and its toils. Tequila Works is making a name for high quality art direction and aesthetic value, delivering a short but deeply emotional experience with its latest release.

Call of the Sea is an immersive puzzle / adventure that came almost out of nowhere. Its satisfying puzzles and well-written, sometimes moving, story compose a more than decent game that will shake your brain cells for about six to seven hours.

Far Cry 5 is another "safe" title from Ubisoft, which includes well-crafted shooting mechanisms and a vast map full of activities, however the game's script is dismantled from its free-roam structure. Definitely, you will spend a lot of time by playing everything that the game has to offer, but in the end, the experience is dangerously similar to his predecessors.

Certain elements, like the frequent use of Quick-Time-Events, might alienate the more hardcore PC gamers out there. However, Lone Wolf HD Remastered remains, in its core, a true Lone Wolf adventure that does more than enough credit to Joe Dever's original works.

A tremendous improvement in every aspect compared to its predecessors. If the developers succeed in giving us a fourth episode with equal quality and longer duration, they will manage to achieve what seemed impossible until now: Leave the initial bad impressions behind and reach a very acceptable overall quality for AR-K.

Atlas Mugged retains Telltale's baseline of excellence in writing, but a fairly short duration as well as a more conventional course of action than the riot of Zer0 Sum make for a comparatively tame episode. Fans of the series will be greatly pleased but Telltale seems at times to battle the very expectations its high standards have created.

Nice concept but the sense of horror goes away really quickly. Action is presented in a repetitive way and the resource management doesn't work as well as it could have. Nonetheless the player will still have a few scares.

Even so, with its limitations and "transitional" nature, Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a decent episode, especially for fans of the series, and well worth your time until Infinite Wealth.

A fresh take on a familiar formula, with enough quality and new ideas to make for a great experience. Highly recommended for roguelike and Darkest Dungeon fans.

Having already put about 700 hours into Stellaris so far, the new anomalies, event chains and various storylines added by the Distant Stars story pack managed to fill me with a sense of wonder that I hadn’t really felt again since first playing the game back in May 2016.

Appropriately mysterious, clever, and humorous, Nine Noir Lives is another excellent adventure that deserves attention.

Inkonbini is a carefully and lovingly crafted “painting” of 1990s nostalgia that transcends the store-management genre. Dropping traditional simulation stress for a meditative, visual novel-style experience, it centers on the philosophy of Ichi-go Ichi-e, treating every mundane interaction as an ephemeral treasure. Through mediative shelf-stocking and soul-searching night-shift dialogues, it serves as a “cozy” reminder to remain present in the imperfect now.

Despite the ambitious combo of two different kind of games, Deathtrap does not disappoint. In combination with the affordable price, it is highly recommended to fans of both ARPG and Tower Defense.

Terrific presentation, immersive and convincing dystopian atmosphere and simple yet highly addictive and ever evolving stealth mechanics make Republique an absolute joy to experience and truly, the first real game to emerge from mobile platforms.

Loco Motive is a game that all fans of point 'n' click adventures should play. It's satisfying in length, has sharp writing, memorable characters, an impeccable pixel-art approach and is a worthy challenge for your adventure reflexes.

Tower of Time isn’t going to break any new ground and some aspects of it are relatively streamlined, but overall is an enjoyable Dungeon Crawler. Its story is quite engaging, the environments brim with detail, there are lots of stuff to find and combat is well designed, though a tad repetitive in the long run.

Orcs Must Die! 3 is a highly entertaining blend of action and tower defense. Although the formula hasn't changed substantially from the previous installments in the series, the game promises unadulterated fun, especially in co-op play, and slaying orcs in creative ways is still something we'll never get tired of.
