Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a solid remaster of an excellent tactical RPG. While the game was previously exclusive to the PSP in Europe, anyone can now enjoy it on modern platforms.

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.

Romeo is a Dead Man is a bloody action game full of absurd situations.

The main drawback of Ninja Gaiden 4 is its repetitive level design. It’s a real shame, because the game can be vibrant and stylish, and you could watch the ninja’s dance of death forever.

The Outer Worlds 2 has little in common with Obsidian’s best RPGs. It’s not exactly a bad game, but you certainly won’t miss it if you skip it.

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.

Limited Run Games generally releases the laziest new editions of classic games compared to Aspyr or Nightdive, but this time it’s even worse than usual.

Angry Birds Star Wars is a solid game based on a tired concept.

I enjoy playing Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition much more than modern Obsidian games like Avowed. That's because Neverwinter Nights 2 offers exciting stories, interesting companions, and a rich role-playing system.

The main mistake of RuneQuest: Warlords is that it missed the chance to fix the flaws of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The game didn't surprise me, although overall it turned out to be decent. For fans of RuneQuest, it's a real treat.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 doesn't look like the product of development hell at all. Despite the tight deadlines, The Chinese Room has created a decent game. Unfortunately, under such circumstances, it was simply impossible to replicate the scale of the first VTMB.

Gears of War: Reloaded looks good. The remaster is definitely worth playing through once — out of curiosity. It's just a shame that various bugs can spoil the fun.

Turok Remastered for PS5 and Xbox Series is undoubtedly the best version of this artifact from 1997. Still, Nightdive Studios could have worked more carefully on the graphics, for example.

Venus Vacation PRISM - DEAD OR ALIVE Xtreme is the most meaningless project in the history of Dead or Alive. The script is boring, the soundtrack is boring, and the world is dead: the resort gives the impression of a ghost island.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is certainly not quite the “resurrection” we would have liked to see. It's a trial balloon for Bethesda. But it still turned out pretty well.

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.

Commandos: Origins does not have an exciting storyline, does not offer any interesting situations, and does not haunt the imagination with unprecedented tactical possibilities. The game simply wasn't ready for release — you can see this at every turn.

Elden Ring Nightreign is an interesting attempt to build a “session-based” game in the Elden Ring universe. But some things just don't work together.

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.

Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition is intended only for fans and newcomers. The former will buy it anyway, while the latter would be better off starting with this version. Others are unlikely to find anything interesting in the new edition.

The remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is neat, but it's impossible to hide the age of the game from the PS2 era.

Mafia: The Old Country fails to engage in any way. Even if you love knives. This is a 10-15 hour linear action with a predictable storyline that is incredibly boring.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a beautiful and sometimes thrilling movie and an outdated game. It is a boring retelling of the original that has nothing to offer the player, except for modern graphics and modern controls.

Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile is even more disappointing than Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express. The only thing worth praising is the stylish cover on Steam.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is an example of an excellent remaster. It's a shame that such a serious overhaul was given to a game that is far from the best.

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.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black looks good, but doesn't give the impression of the definitive version at all.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered was unlucky: the compilation includes the worst games of the original series. And it seems that Aspyr Media, as Core Design once did, didn't have enough time to finish the unfinished games.

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.

The Thing: Remastered, like the original, tries as hard as it can to be like a good game. Do not believe it.

The fifteen-year ordeal of Asylum's developers didn't end with a happy ending: while most of the game is praiseworthy, the final part is highly disappointing.

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.

Assassin's Creed Shadows can entertain you, even despite the silly plot. But you won't lose anything without this game.

This game is a curious artifact of a bygone era. It's not terrible, but the story behind its development is far more interesting than the 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.

According to the developers, they were inspired by XCOM and Silent Storm when creating Forgotten but Unbroken. But in fact there is little in common between the new and old games: Forgotten but Unbroken looks like typical modern indie tactics like Classified: France '44.

Shadows of the Damned is back from oblivion and looks surprisingly fresh. Unfortunately, the remaster turned out to be too ascetic.

Gothic fans will probably feel right at home. Just2D could have truly made a game of its own, but unfortunately the studio chose to resurrect ghosts of the past.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is an old game for fans, slightly improved on the occasion of its release on modern platforms. But even fans will need a certain amount of patience and understanding to make it through to the finale.

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a good re-release of a game with an extremely weak script. It can be given a chance for the sake of a good role-playing system, but if you want to find something better it won't be hard to find.

You can't look at Sid Meier's Civilization VII without tears. I doubt that large-scale DLCs will fix the situation - this building needs to be demolished together with the foundation.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O.. is a terrible remaster of a great game. There's almost nothing to do in single-player, and the developers didn't bother to polish the multiplayer before the release.

Avowed is a weak RPG focused on monotonous action. It's hard to take it seriously after the excellent Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2.

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.

Clock Tower: Rewind is for fans of old horror games in general and the Clock Tower series in particular. The original was great, but the developers of the Rewind edition made no effort to improve the graphics and sound.

Star Trucker is a heartwarming game. Unfortunately, its brutal rules are stifling, preventing you from enjoying your flights.

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.

Little Big Adventure: Twinsen's Quest is a remake of the 1994 game. Fans curse the new game for its visual style and plot changes, but I managed to get some enjoyment. The colorful world of Twinsun hasn't lost any of its former charm.

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.

Black Myth: Wukong is a mediocre game in a shiny wrapper. Reading descriptions of enemies is much more interesting than fighting them.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a weak remaster of a strange and fun game. Now there's no chance that there will be a sequel.

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.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a smart and nice action game. I would like to spend more time in the game, but it is just not good enough for a second playthrough.

If you don't play all Call of Duty games in a row, but pick the best one every few years, then Black Ops 6 is the first contender for your money and time.

BioWare's worst dialog, trivial puzzles, annoying level design, and tedious combat. My diagnosis: complete apathy.

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.

Playing The Casting of Frank Stone is like watching a mediocre horror movie. You can only have some fun if you're in the right mood.

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.

Star Wars: Outlaws is a game only for hardcore Star Wars fans. For the rest of us, there's not much point in enduring it to the end.

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

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is based on SnowRunner. Your biggest enemy in this game is not dirt, but terrain. Unfortunately, the game has two big problems: the lack of content and strange mission design.

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.

This is a decent remaster. Star Wars: Dark Forces looks better, and it became more comfortable. The game is worth playing for all fans of Star Wars and the FPS genre in general. And it's not so important which version to play, old or new.

Songs of Conquest is sadly just a very carefully crafted clone of HoMM 3.

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

As a strategy fan, I was disappointed. And I can't recommend it even to hardcore fans of the Persona series.

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

This is a good remaster of a not-so-good game.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a hybrid of Vampyr and God of War (2018). Unfortunately, there's nothing special about either the detective part of the game or the combat system. The only thing I enjoyed were the stories of residents of New England.

Another unsuccessful attempt to restart Alone in the Dark. I wouldn't want to see a sequel made in the same vein.

I liked it even less than A Total War Saga: Troy. There is not much variety in battles in the game, and the map looks incomplete. This is a game about the bronze age collapse, and where is Mesopotamia?

It is pointless to spend your time on Cities: Skylines 2 in its current state. Developers should decide what is really important — fixing the game or releasing DLCs.

There is no reason to buy the compilation, except for a lot of extras. Instead, you can only buy games you'd like to play on modern platforms, such as MGS 3.

Galactic Civilizations 4: Supernova looks good and has lots of small details. But unfortunately it quickly runs out of steam.

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

Dungeons 4 has two sides. The dungeon part of the game is good, but far from ideal, and the overworld gameplay is primitive.

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

This game is a strong anti-war statement.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is able to charm with artistic solutions, beautiful mechs, gloomy atmosphere of corporate wars. But there are too many of annoying factors in the game.

Alan Wake 2 is good at times because of a director’s work, but it often fails to deliver as a horror and action-adventure game.

An intrigue in this game died back in 1964 when the novel of the same name was published.

Gobliiins 5 is a strange game from a forgotten era. An experienced adventure lover will hardly regret a few evenings spent on it.

This is a solid and filled with new content remaster of one of the most popular and technologically advanced first-person shooters of the 1990s.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a good game, but it lacks a spark.

There's a lot of flaws in space in Starfield. But that does not prevent me from exploring our galaxy again and again.

You can easily spend ten hours on Trine 5. Then, unfortunately, you'll forget everything about this game except gorgeous graphics and fun co-op.

This adaptation is hardly worthy of the great writer and her memorable character.

We could only dream of a game like RoboCop: Rogue City in the 1990s. Now it is just a good shooter for a few evenings.

Lies of P is a stylish game with clever ideas and original solutions. It lacks words at times, but this is not a big problem for an action/RPG.

Flashback 2 initially had no chance to stand next to its great ancestor — or even come close to it.

Dogtown without a single dog in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty looks more like a Potemkin village than an appropriate scenery for the final act of a protracted tragedy.
