Trails in the Sky: First Chapter is a worthy remake of a niche JRPG. Fans of the genre shouldn’t miss it.

There aren't any major graphical improvements that would justify the $30 price tag. But Outlaws is a fantastic shooter, and I highly recommend giving it a try in any form.

If you're really craving a new global RTS and you're a big fan of the Victoria series, you can give Europa Universalis V a try right now. But it's better to wait: it won't reach its full potential for at least a few years.

In 25 years, System Shock 2 has hardly aged, and thanks to Nightdive's efforts, it has become much more convenient to play on modern systems.

Stellar Blade is not as stylish and intriguing as Nier: Automata, but the result is still impressive — especially when compared to Shift Up's previous projects.

Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition is a worthy remaster that expands on the classic castle-building strategy game. However, most of the new features are designed for experienced players.

Simon the Sorcerer Origins is a nostalgic adventure set in a vibrant fantasy world filled with jokes. Visually, the game ranges from “acceptable” to “excellent”.

Broken Arrow is a strong debut from Steel Balalaika Studio and one of the most compelling real-time tactics in recent years, equally engaging in single-player and online modes.

Syberia - Remastered is more like a remake. Despite this, the developers managed to preserve the style and atmosphere of the original.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is better than the first installment in terms of gameplay and narrative. But unfortunately, developers have created primarily a linear game. The open world and all related things are rather attached as an extra.

Old Skies by Wadjet Eye Games is an inventive, very varied, and wildly entertaining classic adventure.

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars has some downsides, but they pale against the interesting story and unusual gameplay.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Souls-inspired, turn-based combat system can ruin your mood. If you can handle it, you'll discover a rich, surreal world with an interesting story full of emotion.

MechWarrior 5: Clans feels more arcade than MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. For example, the AI of opponents is primitive. But more or less serious games about giant walking robots are rare these days, so I played MW 5: Clans in one breath.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is sometimes clumsy, just like Indiana Jones himself. But once you start this game, it's impossible to stop playing.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered has enough small improvements and nice bonuses for fans. It's the best way to experience the Soul Reaver sub-series.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is a bit like Alan Wake 2 – also a very ambitious horror game with a lot of flaws. However, I give credit to Bloober Team: I think Bloober Team did their job better than Remedy Entertainment.

In Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, the developers went a little overboard with bold ideas. And yet the story of Miquella is smoothly integrated into the monumental epic of Elden Ring.

Still Wakes the Deep is a great horror game with an intriguing story, good acting, and intense chase sequences. I recommend it to all fans of the horror genre.

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is one of the most exciting detective adventure games. And the new remaster titled Reforged is a great gift for series fans and newcomers alike.

This is a solid remaster of a classic of the action-adventure genre. Even today Tomb Raider 1, 2 & 3 are fun to play.

Persona 3 Reload is a fourth version of Persona 3. No version of the game can be called ultimate, but Reload deserves that title more than any other.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the first game in the series in a long time that I enjoyed. It expands the classic JRPG and FF VII Remake. And there is no doubt that Square Enix saved all the most interesting and exciting things for the final part of the trilogy.

The Thaumaturge is a supernatural detective with good dialogs, strong characters, and a fun battle system.

Millennia is the most serious competitor of the Civilization series since 1991.

Tekken 8 is a solid fighting. It has a lot of game modes, and it is fun to play even for a newcomer.

Colony Ship is a true spiritual successor to The Age of Decadence.

This game is a strong anti-war statement.
