The remake, subtitled Twinsen's Quest, only reminds us that time has passed, and it has. The gameplay isn't exactly a pain, but it's a bit of a clumsy adventure. But it retains the charm of the original.

Survival horror adventure in a new guise that takes you back to the genre's beginnings. It still has a lot to offer, but overall it has received only minor changes and improvements.

Monster Jam Showdown isn't the best racing game of the year, but it doesn't set out to be. It's supposed to be an honest arcade game with an accessible career for everyone, and the developers at Milestone have succeeded.

Survival horror based on a popular film franchise will force you to be quiet even behind your computer or console. And it manages to maintain the right atmosphere.

Thinking one step ahead and considering every move is the name of the game in Shogun Showdown. The challenging gameplay is frustrating at first, but will eventually draw you in.

On the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the brand, Blizzard has prepared a remaster of the Warcraft strategies. The first two games are nicer, even with a partial improvement in gameplay, but they have reserves. The third game got rid of the bugs.

A trip to the bowels of hell was insane a decade ago and has lost none of its charm. However, it is a game for nostalgic players and will not appeal much to younger players.

After a long time, Metro Awakening is finally another reason to take the VR headset out of the shelf, dust it off and play something. It's a game you'll enjoy thanks to its very good atmosphere and decent story, but it has a rather rambling narrative that's hard to follow at times.

The Xcom turn-based strategy genre is growing with an addition from Slovakia that will impress with its content and gameplay.

I think Goat Simulator Remastered isn’t worth it. While the remaster competently adds multiplayer, DLC, and slightly improves textures and lighting, the game remains the same—buggy, clunky, and less fun than it aims to be. There are plenty of other games offering absurd fun with much better controls.

Stalker 2 brings the series into the modern era with stunning visuals while staying true to its hardcore FPS roots. The game retains what made the series unique, with difficult action, expansive environments and a rich story. However, minor issues such as weaker animations, AI and minor bugs detract from the experience.

In this turn-based strategy game, you can dive into a rotting world of zombies and pull four survivors out of the mess. If you don't give up early. In the game, some elements are only superficial, and the bright parts tend to get in the way. But the content of the missions is excellent.

A catchy extraction shooter from a post-apocalyptic environment successfully deceives with its appearance. Behind the cute pixel art is a decent game challenge and a ruthless world.

As an android traversing a huge megastructure, you try to climb and find the mystery of its innards, which is a big challenge in itself. And it's fun.

Discover the story behind the creation of one of the most iconic games of all time in a unique interactive documentary with video and text, accompanied by 14 playable versions of Tetris. Sadly, the Game Boy version, arguably the most important, is missing.

Lego Horizon Adventures struggles to capture the interest of both child and adult players. The game world and story, originally designed for an older audience, remain too complex for young minds yet too shallow for adults. Although it aims to be accessible for all ages, even for those unfamiliar with Horizon, it ultimately feels unfocused and underwhelming. The quality doesn’t measure up to past Lego titles, making it clear that it’s the work of a different studio.

Capcom's nostalgic package of classic comic book arcade games delivers exactly what you expect. Unfortunately, it doesn't really add anything extra.

Created by young Czech authors, this retro-styled game features action that parodies the totalitarian past and is generally fun to play.

Edge of Sanity can especially initially appeal to fans of survival games with an admixture of horror. But gradually it falls into a stereotype. The result is not bad at all, it's just a shame that the game can't maintain the momentum it has in the first hours until the end.

Overall, the Horizon: Zero Dawn Remaster is the kind of bonus that didn't really need to be there. Visually, the title has been brought into the present day, but not everything has been improved. It's a shame, perhaps, that gameplay elements or expanded content aren't also improved to give original players more incentive to upgrade.

Digital Eclipse have set the bar pretty high with their previous collections, and here they have lowered it a little. However, they have still given us a great game in perhaps its best form yet.

An artfully crafted project that has a head, a heel and even a background that makes you turn your back. But otherwise it's an empty vessel that doesn't tell stories where it could.

The ravages of time are already showing on Sonic Generations, and while visually it's a very good improvement, some of the content changes are unnecessary and the gameplay hasn't aged well. Shadows Generations, by comparison, at least offers something fresh, albeit shorter. But it does manage to entertain, and you can enjoy those few hours with the game. Overall, this remaster isn't bad at all, but it also shows that Sonic has a problem these days and doesn't quite know how to deal with it.

The Slovakian solo developer has brought a nice game in which you become a ball that has to overcome obstacles. The inspiration from the classics is obvious, but the author has also added something of his own. The result is pleasant, but expect a high level of difficulty.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure does a lot of things well. When it comes to Max and her emotional and personal journey from trauma to self-discovery, it works. The main character entertains you, tugs at your heartstrings, and you're happy to be on this journey with her. But when it comes to the twists and turns of the story and the internal logic of the plot of the new game, that's where it starts to creak.

This cult western has long been absent from the PC, although its sequel was released a few years ago. Rockstar has finally released it on this platform, but with outdated graphics and a high price tag.

It takes a while, but when The Brothership is in full swing, it is an excellent action RPG after all these years: exploration, arcade elements, tactical strategy and the mix of gameplay is top-notch. We are so glad that the Switch has its entry in the series.

Slitterhead relies on the mechanic of possessing and controlling human bodies, which is not new, but is used to great effect in the game. Once you get past the clunky start and get into it, Slitterhead manages to deliver an impressive experience. Although it would be more spectacular if more things were clearer and better handled.

The continuation of the successful action game in retro style exceeded expectations and brings a great dose of adrenaline.

Sometimes less is more, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed is a great example of this. It would have benefited from being shorter and stripped of the redundant and repetitive content that even crosses the line into annoying. The pacing would be better, the content wouldn't feel so schematic, and the game would be more enjoyable.

Cosmic western with collecting bandits brings an interesting combination of action with strategic progress. At first it is remarkable, but gradually the interest in the game declines. Without a proper story, it becomes too long and monotonous.

Overall, we got a surprisingly good Call of Duty this year, and it's exactly what the series needed after the last very weak Modern Warfare III installment. It offers a very impressive campaign with some unique missions, but also a nice return of the zombies back to the basics of attacking in waves, and the massive multiplayer part has been brought to life nicely by omnimovement.

Those who were looking forward to a bloodier and more classic Resident Evil from an independent studio will either be disappointed or not enjoy the game the way the creators of Pneumata intended.

The latest chapter in the Dragon Age saga successfully combines the best of semi-open-world gameplay with a balanced and engaging combat system. While Dragon Age: The Veilguard falls short of previous installments in areas like side quests, story choices, and dialogue depth, it excels in combat quality, world design, and audiovisual presentation, delivering some of the most epic battles in the series. This game is a roller-coaster experience; at its peak, it entertained and amazed me, yet at times, its lack of depth dampened my enthusiasm.

A spectacle like Black Myth: Wukong happens once per videogame generation. This epic anthropomorphic adventure of the Monkey King is a true labour of love, that presents grand story, wonderfully authentic soundtrack, addictively punchy combat and does the whole videogame process a bit differently. It is full of surprises, excruciatingly hard bosses and it just simply looks amazing. Few downsides and tiny imperfections can’t really ruin this almost perfect experience, that makes you want to stay for just one more try.

The new DLC is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the original game. It brings new ways to have fun on unpaved surfaces in powerful contemporary and historic machines. The game has certainly improved technically in the year since its release. The strong audio, good driving feel and FFB (when playing on a steering wheel) are definitely worth mentioning. Unfortunately, the visuals are getting weaker and the very poorly designed menus slow things down unnecessarily and detract from the overall experience.

Overall, The Lake House is a nice expansion, it doesn't offer much of a story of its own, but it's rich with connections and hints of where Control 2 will go. Ultimately, getting players ready for Control 2 is also the goal of the expansion. Don't expect much else from it.

This game proves that platform jumping doesn't have to look like it's from gaming prehistory, and it's not the prerogative of game heroes, hedgehogs, and bearded plumbers. The struggle for survival in the shadow of angry titans is impressive.

Nikoderiko does things you already know from other games. Only it does them in a worse way. You want a game like that? Play Crash. Play Donkey Kong Country. Play the new Astro Bot, even though it's a different kind of platform game. All of these games are much better and won't frustrate you with stupid bugs or even glitches. If anything stands out here, it's the graphics and the local co-op.

You can spend tens of hours in cold space, but you have to be in the mood and have the time. The game is currently brought to its knees by shallowness and game elements that are not perfected.

I can't say that I didn't enjoy Unknown 9: Awakening. I liked some aspects of it, Haroona is a likeable character and the world manages to intrigue me. But mechanically and technologically, it's a game lost in time. It's as if someone suddenly discovered it in a drawer where it had been lying around since 2007. These days, action-adventure games like this are made better, funnier and more variable.

Fans of Starship Troopers and PvE shootouts should definitely have Extermination in their sights. It offers successful PvE multiplayer, where the piles of dead arachnids that remain there fascinate. However, there could have been more maps and singleplayer is boring and not even Casper Van Dien can save it.

With the arrival of Vessel of Hatred, Diablo IV seems to be a different and even better game than Diablo IV was after its release. While the story content feels underwhelming and short, the expansion shines in its gameplay improvements.The introduction of the new Spiritborn class, offering versatile and customizable play styles, along with the Mercenaries, Kurast Undercity and Dark Citadel enhance the game significantly.

All in all, Super Mario Party Jamboree doesn't really have too many negatives. It's a really fun party collection of mini-games that will appeal to the whole family and a bunch of friends. It offers a great selection of minigames, well-tuned mechanics, dynamic maps and a bunch of side modes as well. The core of the game hasn't really changed, so it kind of feels like an expansion to Super Mario Party.

The low-key project finally got out of the Early Access phase and, as one of the few survivors, made it to a successful conclusion.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is a dream come true for long-time fans who have waited years for a new Budokai Tenkaichi installment. While it doesn't introduce anything groundbreaking, it offers enjoyable gameplay and a massive amount of content that can keep you entertained for dozens of hours. However, the game is not trying to attract new players—it's made strictly for fans and won't have much appeal to others.

Hollowbody is an impressive horror game that reminded me of what I loved and hated about the iconic games of the past. It combines elements of the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series. It is not very extensive, but the story is retold in an interesting way.

From 2K Games, we have a little better basketball here than last time. It brings smoother and more realistic gameplay, but don't expect miracles.

You might have missed this strategy game that pays homage to classic RTS, but if you pay attention, you'll find that it's quite fun to launch destructive missiles in it.

It was supposed to become a star and an iconic game, and it may have convinced someone of that. But certainly not all. Many expected more. The Developers failed to elevate any aspect of this game to anything more than very mediocre.

Overall, Until Dawn remaster is a nice atmospheric slasher horror, well complemented by plenty of choices that can motivate you to play the game again. Although it is a walking simulator genre, it stands out in comparison to most similar titles with its cast and more cinematic style.

NHL 25 plays better than the last few games in the series, but it doesn't bring any real changes, improvements or new features. In the end, it's just an overpriced update.

A scary good remake of a classic horror is chilling. A town immersed in the fog has terrifying surprises for you, which will haunt you. The game looks modern and at the same time retains the essence of the original.

Overall, Shattered Space is a decent expansion that introduces a deep story along with a dark planet featuring larger quests and new enemies. While it's enjoyable, it doesn’t bring anything groundbreaking and feels more like an additional dose of the familiar rather than offering something truly new to the game.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a unique blend of 3D platforming action-adventure for the whole family with Warren Spector's intelligent design that can easily last 15-20 hours. Or even more. It's a very good game, but some aspects of it haven't aged the best.

As a Hacker, you try to solve a problem with a defective AI in a large complex and you will enjoy playing with robotic enemies.

If you want something with the style and quality of the Commandos tactical series, you've just come across the perfect candidate. A dedicated team is just waiting for your instructions.

The base of the PC port is good, there is good performance, although there are more various minor problems in various areas. Basically, if you enjoyed the first game with Kratos and want more from this world, don't miss the second one.

EA Sports FC 25 builds on the great technological innovations of last year's edition and takes them a little further, making football more realistic and tactical. And you have much more and better control over it all. However, the game doesn't offer any major innovations to convince you that this is the edition you need to pick up.

Logistics through train transport has its own romantic charm and Train Valley World takes us back in time. If you like trains, definitely give it a try.

If a goat can run wild in a small town, why can't a squirrel? In the role of a small rodent, you will experience action, jumping and sometimes you have to think. Although the play area is small, it offers a variety of fun activities.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom may not be a game for everyone. Maybe not even a game for every Zelda fan. It does things differently, turns the traditional formula on its head and asks you to do something other than traditional combat. But that's what impressed me about it. It's not trying to do the same thing that worked five years ago. It's building on that, but it's doing something new, something fresh and something interesting that's hard to tear yourself away from.

Grab your mining tools! It's time to go on an unforgettable underground adventure. And it's surprisingly catchy. You will have a great time.

Telltale has really naild the writing here, and they've also played around with the gameplay, which is more varied and variable than in the past. The old flaws are still there, unfortunately, but if you can get past them, you get a really stylish, witty and entertaining adventure game that will easily take you 15 hours to play.

In the end, it's a successful Civilization clone that excels in some ways and falls a little short in others. And the game is also graphically pleasing. It is definitely worth trying.

Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn is both an honest piece of work and a fun game that capitalizes beautifully on the retro charm of classic NES action games, where it was all about skill and the ability to learn things that the game wants to surprise and test you with. Even this remake expands on the original with brand new content. It's just that it's still very little, and there are even a few minor setbacks that detract from the overall experience.

Even after all these years, Broken Sword 1 still feels like a good book that you want to read a chapter of before going to bed, but can't put down. Now, however, it's more beautiful than ever.

A post-apocalyptic world with an eternal winter will once again entrust us with the fight for the survival of the survivors, whose fate will this time be strongly influenced by civil factions. A complex system of voting and negotiation is involved, which makes the game unique, but also challenging and sometimes frustrating.

Dead Rising shows that it still has style after all these years. Especially the hordes of zombies and killing them is timeless and still fits today. Some of the graphical improvements are nice, but other things aren't as polished, and it's a shame that the gameplay hasn't been touched up and some outdated elements tweaked.

Top Spin from 2k is no longer the only representative of its kind, and the calm surface of tennis waters is about to be disturbed by Tiebreak produced by Big Ant Games. Despite some shortcomings, you will enjoy tennis in the game.

Very average game. What resources were supplied to the development, such is the output. We simply knew it, the developers themselves hinted at it. A technically mediocre piece that won't keep you entertained for a long time - especially if you look to the side, where Forza Horizon and the latest The Crew will be grinning at you.

While Quidditch Champions successfully captures the magical atmosphere of the wizarding world, it falls short in several areas and feels somewhat incomplete. Hardcore Harry Potter fans who have long dreamed of mastering the broomstick sport may find joy in it, but the gameplay may not captivate all players or keep them engaged for long.

A thrilling excursion into a world outside our reality has a slightly bitter flavor of boredom setting in too soon.

The gameplay here is basically excellent, it provides many mechanics. Although each chapter has the same structure, the unique set of enemies and bosses, obstacles and gameplay is always refreshed with a unique invention and in the temple levels also with its own tool. You also come across quite a few hidden locations, full of their own challenges, and the occasional puzzle or unique minigame is also a delight.

The cat on the hoverboard is an unusual hero, able to move around the terrain with obstacles and, despite his cute looks and comic book style, is quite tough in battle. Once you're hooked, there's no turning back.

After years, Astro Bot made it to the star of the platforming genre in PlayStation universe bringing full-fledge game with tens of rich levels, funny power-ups, secret passaged and different planets. It is one of a few games you’ll enjoy without stress, pressure and will admire the creativity of Team Asobi.

The game excels at progressing in co-op and the campaign is not to be thrown away either. And you don't have to be raised on Warhammer to enjoy it. However, operations are extremely difficult for a solo player, so be sure to look around for live teammates.

Flint and steel accompanied by some otherworldly magic of rogue gods. This is what defines the death-infested and movement-dependent world of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. A “soulslite” title from the creators of Ashen doesn’t really innovate on the action-adventure RPG genre but presents players with unique and captivating setting, neat combat mechanics, epic soundtrack and quite a lot of beautiful landscapes to explore. Will you dare to challenge the gods?

The brand new Detective Club title brings very compelling plot luring players to discover murders and mystery. On the other hand, gaming options might be limited and linear for some adventurers – if you come for the lengthy dialogues and investigation, you will like the outcome.

It is a quality title under the auspices of Sony. A precise and technically flawless affair that lacks ingredients such as distinctive distinctive content and understanding the market's needs.

It's a big, fun game with an interesting story and a likeable protagonist that brings a new perspective to the Star Wars universe. The story of the Rebels' fight against the Empire takes on new shape through her eyes. And just as she brings a new perspective to the story, she brings a new gameplay to the universe. One based on intelligent and quiet progression through well-designed environments. You can enjoy all of this here, except that the game would have benefited from another 2 months or so of fine-tuning.

The return of another iconic RTS was successful, and the blending of the original gameplay with new graphics and mods was done well. It's not perfect, but the game is qualitatively better than many of its contemporaries. The settler priority system is currently unreliable, but it could gradually improve and eventually it will probably be a trend in modern strategies, where a few similar attempts have already appeared.

The German submarine war simulator has been floating around on Steam for years in an Early Access version. It is now complete and ready for crisis situations at sea. It's a complex submarine simulation that is suitable for both amateurs and veterans thanks to the realism settings.

The launch of a new saga isn't an easy start for Yoshi-P or players. But continuing the previous events is calling for a change of pace, new characters or environments – and Danwtrail delivers them all. With two different halves, great dungeons and atmospheric soundtrack, this one is still fantasy joy to play

Fans of minigolf who can enjoy this activity also in digital form will find exactly what they are looking for in the game. And the fact that they tee off in rooms with mostly natural barriers and using household objects makes House of Golf 2 even more attractive and a little exotic.

When you combine timeless and fun gameplay with the love of the community and the development team, you get something really special. Whether you've played the classic Dooms or not, don't hesitate to pick it up.

The authors of USC: Counterforce put so much on their shoulders that they visibly ran out of steam in the final sprint, which is why the game looks the way it does. It's a waste of time pretending to be an Aliens - Xcom when everything, including difficulty settings, campaign handling, base building and unit management, feels rushed and unfinished.

The game offers a quality experience with an elaborate story that plays with time and space and requires the player to think. Although the price of €26.99 is higher than expected for an indie game, the quality and length somehow make up for it. The game has simple and intuitive controls, but unclear instructions can slow down progress. The aesthetics and music stay true to the original game, while maintaining a timeless and appealing design.

The game is definitely worth it for a few hours of pure jumping fun. You can find what it offers almost everywhere, and many competitors do it better, but the Super Onion Boy+ will not leave you cold.

The return of the college football franchise is a pleasant surprise, and the gameplay of EA Sports College Football 25 does not disappoint. However, the content of the game is another matter and the quality is not as clear. It's not that the content is bad, it's just that the developers play it too safe in terms of modes. So even if this is your first time with the series, you'll be very familiar with how these modes work and what to expect from them from the other games.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is basically the same as it was 22 years ago. It's a game with an interesting story and content that manages to entertain, but it becomes stereotypical over time. The result is a quality port of a slightly above average game.

Adding the ability to create a completely custom team and lowering the price are two decisions that save the current edition. Otherwise, it would be little more than a roster update from Frontier. It doesn't help that the game isn't exactly in the best shape. Still, it's a deep and entertaining management game that you'll be happy to sink dozens of hours into, and you won't even know how the time is going to pass.

The primary car racing for mobiles has also found its way to major platforms, but even though the game is free to play, that may not be enough for the racers. Playing solo is rather dull, but in multiplayer you might enjoy it.

Nobody Wants to Die delivers an exceptional cinematic cyberpunk experience with a compelling story, rich themes, and well-developed characters. However, it falls down short due to repetitive, hand-holding gameplay that features some intriguing but underdeveloped ideas.

Do you want to know what it's like to be a rescuer from Chernobyl? This game will partially convey that to you. In the end, the overall experience is not exactly bad, although the gameplay is dull at times and the combination of simulation with espionage and stealth elements is not exactly the best decision.

SMT V: Vengeance is a definitive version of a catchy RPG title. Coming to more platforms, bringing much more content, demons, new characters and even gameplay enhancements, this is the one version to play. Even Switch players can enjoythe new storyline and enjoy features like never before.

The brave 2000s were a completely different period in videogame history. Franchising started to reach enormous heights and unknown players such as Beyond Good and Evil had unfortunately gone unnoticed. However, this inventive title slowly gained a cult following, and now after 20 years, its Anniversary Edition is hand-delivering a truly passionate love letter to all fans! This game was ahead of its time and once again shines thanks to updated visuals, better performance, and wholesome bonus content.

Pro Cycling Manager 2024 is not a good game. But it's not a bad game either. Its biggest problem is that the franchise has been more or less the same for years, going nowhere and not even trying to attract a new audience. So who is this new edition for?
