The wide variety of changes and brand new “apocalyptic” features introduced with the expansion or as part of the free 2.0 update add great strategic depth and new narrative paths, taking Stellaris one step closer towards its destined objective of becoming the ultimate 4X space grand strategy game of our times.

Treyarch gives us a Call of Duty game that is brimming with content and is sure to provide hundreds of hours of entertainment to its buyers. It’s just a shame that the focus on the quantity of content ended up causing a lack of polish in some areas.

Telltale raises the heat with a story that feels both intensely personal and refreshingly little explored in Batman’s mainstream canon. For about an hour and half, the Bat fantasy comes alive.

A solid shooting game that manages to achieve the perfect balance between two different worlds. Above all, it presents the experience of a sniper in a highly entertaining and spectacular way.

Disciples is back with a very interesting and lengthy campaign and addictive turn-based battles. A clear recommendation if you are interested in this genre.

Despite its flaws FIFA 22 manages to find the balance point between simulation and fun. Although the fact some of its modes are far from perfect, it can offer the thrills that football gives to its fans, both online and locally. The much-discussed HyperMotion does its job perfectly and justifies the need for this year's edition, in contrast with previous years. If you consider yourself a football fan, there's no need to hesitate into buying this year's edition.

AAA level writing, voice-acting and storytelling, Chapters was lovingly made for the Dreamers, the rabid fans awaiting for the continuation of Zoe's story ever since '06. In spite of the obvious limitations of the Unity engine, the game, much like it's predecessors, transcends the medium's limitations in order to deliver the next chapter in one of interactive fiction's most poignant sagas. The uninitiated will be completely mystified and off-put, but the original Dreamers, the ones who helped fund Chapters, are in for the ride of their lives.

More than an open love letter to Sins of the Fathers, Lamplight City is a first class detective mystery that succeeds in creating an atmospheric and believable alternate historical setting, whilst allowing us to fail in spectacular style. Highly compelling.

When flesh is the only adequate canvas and blood runs the color of regret, you will discover that the most horrifying monster is the one within. Layers of Fear will make you scream into the empty room time and time again, even though you think you know what is coming. It will make your every hair stand on end and keep you playing, helpless, lost in the throes of deepest nightmare. One of the most intense horror experiences of recent years.

Exploring Atomfall's world and investigating the mystery at its core is a real delight, but it requires several modifications and additions to reach its full potential.

This first chapter serves as a truly special start for an episodic adventure game. It has many positive aspects packed together -unique looks, lovable main characters, awesome voice overs, a price that makes it a must buy- and contains a respectful number of puzzles. If some of them were a bit more challenging, its length would easily be extended. In any case, it's an ideal and very promising debut.

Renowned Explorers combines elements from strategy, resource management and role playing games in a remarkable and smooth way. Even though the difficulty level is above average, the game is still considered as an interesting suggestion for anyone who is looking for a nice adventure.

If Mass Effect: Andromeda had been released a few years ago, it might have been appreciated for what it really is: a fun (if unoriginal) little space opera that offers lots of hours of gameplay. In the post-Witcher 3 era, however, all "Open-World RPG" games have to reach certain standards in order to fully earn our appreciation. In this regard, looking at Andromeda reveals shallow and juvenile writing, unreached potential and funky animations... and all this took 5 years and 40 million dollars to create.

Excellent visuals and a great soundtrack. However, in terms of gameplay it doesn't deliver what it promises while the story, although it starts with all the makings of something at least decent, loses its rhythm completely from the middle onwards.

Despite being a little rough around the edges, Anshar Studios' first RPG attempt in the cyberpunk world of Gamedec manages to hold its own against even AAA ventures in the genre.

The Invincible is a wonderful take on the literary world of Stanisław Lem's Regis III, a hard sci-fi story about the limits of human expansion and the understanding of worlds different than ours. It is clearly a product of love, featuring amazing art direction both in the atompunk aesthetics, the top-notch voice acting and fitting OST. A calming narrative-based experience that manages to do well what Sci-Fi should do, ask those big questions, and make the player wonder about our place in the universe.

It offers an enjoyable trip to the snowing mountains with 4 different extreme sports to explore and challenges along the way. You can push your limits and become king of the mountain or just enjoy the ride through beautiful landscapes and majestic scenery. It’s not only for the fans, everyone could give it a go.

Honest, hardcore, and truer to the original Fallout vision than certain stillborn “GOTY contenders”, Underrail will absolutely delight RPG purists.

Battlefront is a solid FPS game, with amazing visuals, which lacks that something extra that will make it shine. It has a good starting audience in the Star Wars fans, but anyone who has invested considerable hours in Battlefield might not find anything which can hold them here.

A food that is equally delicious whether you reheat it or eat it cold. A title that reminds us that gaming is all about fun.

Stylized, with several doses of tactics and familiar battle system, Sunday Gold is an interesting experiment that could achieve more.

A poor remaster of a particularly good game, the Definitive Edition offers only but a few new things to owners of the original game and a lazy attempt to attract new buyers.

Despite its short duration and rather repetitive core gameplay loop, Beyond Blue is a beautiful, educational and well-made effort that aims to inform and raise awareness about the issues that plague the deep blue world and its inhabitants.

There are not many new things under Planet Alpha's alien sun when it comes to platforming and revolutionary gameplay. However, it manages to provide a pleasantly colored tale of alien exploration and mystery to experience in your living room. Not a classic, yet a decent title with memorable visual aesthetics.

Styx: Shards of Darkness, while a solid stealth game, does not dare travel off the beaten path. Having said that, fans of the genre should definitely check it out.

If you've never played DMC 4 before and its theme draws your attention, the remastered version is an excellent opportunity to get a taste of a demanding game that rewards the player very well as long as he's dealing with it. And then you may cry too.

Surely the WotS is not a blockbuster that will turn the lights on it, as it is mainly addressed to the so-called fans of the genre. Everyone who adores this era and loves films like Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, will surely find a warmth in this title, the rest can try it in a break from their usual preferences and live the "Eastern Western" dream.

It certainly has some elements that can be preserved intact for future versions of the MotoGP franchise, which undoubtedly must pay bigger attention to the realism and simulation factor. Nevertheless, I think Valentino Rossi himself must be quite happy with the overall result of the game.
