Despite its simple enough premise of "Space Archaeology", Ancient Relics adds incredible flavor to the base game and greatly enriches its space exploration aspect.

Pathologic 2 is a weird and unique experience, besmeared by some optimization and balance issues. Its narrative, story, and atmosphere are suffocating under the weight of its mechanics and I'm pretty sure that heavy reliance on meta-gaming to avoid hitting a roadblock wasn't something its creators intended.

Short, but funny and enjoyable, Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! HD is the perfect "shot" of a point-n-click adventure.

Artifex Mundi flex their point-and-click muscles for the first time, delivering simple riddles and a comical tone in a neat package. While aiming to be satirical with its wonderful art (homage to The Curse of Monkey Island/Deponia games), it does not avoid the pitfall of being too preachy. The latter results in one-dimensional characters who are narrative simplistic vessels to the moral of the story.

A decent attempt at providing a compelling Darkest Dungeon-like game that stumbles due to the lack of combat depth and some balancing issues. The game is worth a try as soon as the developers have had a chance to tweak their formula.

Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders is a commendable first effort from Nupixo Games who seem to grasp what a traditional point and click adventure game should be. The puzzles have a sense of purpose and its interesting setting and plot will keep players hooked, although its short duration and easy challenge will, most likely, not satiate seasoned players.

CA took a huge gamble with its latest release and it really paid off. Three Kingdoms offers a very polished campaign with a strong narrative and robust diplomacy and espionage systems. Together with the immersive management of faction characters, the series are steering towards deeper micromanagement and a more challenging and deeply immersive experience. Romance mode might not be everyone's cup of tea but there are also other options for the more historically inclined fans.

Exciting FPS mechanisms are accompanied by an inadequate open-world, a disappointing story and very short duration. RAGE 2 could be much better.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is all about surviving in an odious and decadent medieval Aquitaine, using your wits. The gorgeous art design and taut, realistic writing make for a heart-wrenching juxtaposition to its rat-infested underbelly and a journey that you'll not soon forget.

Strong plot, thoughtful characters, rich content, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is undoubtedly one of the games you should play.

Weedcraft looks and feels like a leftover from smartphones and tablets. It has nothing to offer, even to those who want to spend some time with it out of boredom. The main idea, started as a funny way to get out of the box, regarding video games, but ended as a nightmare.

Mortal Kombat 11 is a worthy successor to the long-time series and one of the best and most complete fighting games in recent years. Sure, the tactics surrounding microtranscations and the extensive grinding that is implicitly required for anyone who wants to unlock everything, reduce the overall value of the game, fortunately without being irreparably affected.

A darkly devotional hymn to the unstoppable force of will and the born survivor's power. Michalski injects every scene in Lorelai with heartbreaking truth. The voice acting and soundtrack are in a class of their own. If you've lived, you'll recognize pieces of yourself in this long, final journey to the edge of the night.

An unabashed love letter to the cult "little" point and click adventures of the 90s, executed with panache. Guaranteed to bring a smile to the lips of veteran adventure gamers but it will be hard pressed to impress the younger generation of players.

Boasting gorgeous aesthetics and displaying a bold level of ambition, Close To The Sun is a highly atmospheric alternative history mystery, set aboard a remarkable location.

Streamlining done right, Anno 1800 is so addictive that it must remind you to take a stroll after some four hours of gameplay. Faithful to the Anno spirit, yet inventive, featuring a class system that offers many creative challenges.

Save Koch boasts quality of writing and depth of event inter-connectivity, that far exceed its humble budget. On the other hand, it drops players in media res with very little explanation of its world, characters or dependencies, heavily relying on a player's willingness to experiment for hours on end. Depending on your particular tastes, this can be either a diamond in the rough or a bitter case of "almost".

Apart from the short duration and the cliffhanger ending, Katana Zero is great game, made by people who truly adore their "child", while it has probably the best pixel art aesthetics we have seen so far.

A solid, confident narrative, truly worthy of the "Nordic Noir" mantle. Whispers of a Machine convincingly puts players in charge of a police investigation in the technological post-apocalypse. The quality of the writing and puzzles are guaranteed to delight genre fans.

The Padre pays homage to genre-defining games like Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil (especially the former) but it reveals a bit too much in the safety of worshipping these games. Putting that aside, it's an enjoyable horror adventure overall. If you've ever wondered what a more "modern" version of the classic 1992 Infogrames title would be like, then the Padre might be right up your alley.

Seven offers a solid experience for someone looking out for an action stealth game, while exploring a world beautifully designed. It may not be enough for someone who expects to discover his next favorite RPG, but either way the whole experience is going to make him love the journey.

The road to failure is paved with good intentions. The developers love for the literary version of Victorian London and the works of Marion Bradley are evident. Their ability to create a compelling narrative game however, is not. Technical limitations, scenes that are little more than alpha stage concept art, underdeveloped characters that fail to connect with players in any meaningful way and a complete absence of puzzles or emotionally resonant story beats, make Dance of Death very hard to recommend.

A profoundly atmospheric and virtuosically written exploration of the embattled male psyche. Uncompromising and fearless in its vision, We. The Revolution immerses and transports in a way that very few games ever achieve. An unforgettable, must-play experience.

Tech Support: Error Unknown features a mix of Papers Please! gameplay mechanics and Orwell gameplay and mechanics. It does not innovate but it manages to convey the angst of working as IT support, especially for an evil mega-corp.

The feeling of an Early access game is diffuse, the lack of content is striking badly and the completely dead online mode is simply decorative. Sure, Legendary Eleven is not bad and it is suitable for some "loose" matches, especially for those who want to remember their teen age, but up to there.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a magical journey and an experience like no other for every fan of Japanese culture and intense video games. Master Miyazaki did it again.

My Time at Portia offers many crafting activities, a vividly colored world that is really pleasant to explore and a main quest line. After a while, crafting requirements might prove to be somewhat of a grinding activity for some people and quests and inhabitants at times feel a bit dry. A pleasant and relaxing experience all in all that could be elevated with a little more invested writing.

Managing to remedy virtually every single flaw one could find in the series' first game, The Division 2 is the greatest possible sequel we could have hoped for, and quite possibly the best "Looter Shooter" game out there at the moment.
