A farming game that doesn't take itself seriously and offers a slightly different take on rural life, it's grueling but stylish.

It's a fun game, but I feel like I've played it before. I guess I'm tired of recycling the Recharged concept, where every game is basically the same. I want new ideas, fresh concepts and fun innovations that highlight good gameplay.

How does a bunch of angry-cultured swin…I mean individuals respond to a colorful roster of unbelievably cute, pixelated creatures? Well exactly that is an experiment codenamed Karmazoo, conducted by the developer Pastagames. Their newest game is not only adorable, artsy, and full of fun 2D platforming, but also offers a unique twist for the online cooperation gaming space. This hilarious adventure will offer huge amounts of fun to any online or offline enthusiasts, however, in the end, this concept is totally at its players base’s mercy!

Nintendo is serving double pack of excellent adventure titles from the past. And it is also a great showcase how to remake two solid games to great adventure with updated graphics, new interface, dialogues and even high-quality puzzle and exploration.

Tekken 8 could be the best after the legendary third instalment. The focus on aggressive gameplay will appeal to a part of the audience. I also praise the game's openness to completely new players, who can quickly and easily get into the game thanks to the new system. I have to praise the amount of content, the very well functioning online, the extensive character appearance editor and also the huge gallery where you can unlock art, videos and other things. It's a real treat for fans and a great way to introduce newcomers to a series they'll love.

Nexus is a very good game for VR, showing the rich possibilities and activities that can be used in this sphere. With varied gameplay, nice graphics and a good and sufficiently developed story for several hours - even more than ten upon closer examination.

Cookie Cutter looks incredibly good, offers a huge world full of hidden nooks and crannies, and the gameplay isn't bad either. However, there are some design flaws where the game tries to be something it's not. This leads to unnecessary frustration.

Like a Dragon Gaiden is more than just a part of the series in-between. Shorter, but much more intensive storytelling brings back one of the SEGA icons in exhilarating action adventure filling into the events of Ryu ga Gotoku. Lot of great moments, sidestories and new action style makes you play more and get ready for next main dish with Infinite Wealth.

While remastering a game 3.5 years after its release is hard to justify, The Last of Us Part II Remastered still offers one of the best videogame experiences that now comes with the perks that PlayStation 5 has to offer. Even though most of the changes are cosmetic and graphics-wise barely make a difference, the roguelike No Return Mode brings a new challenge that may be worth the price, especially as an upgrade for players who own the original game.

War Hospital has a good idea and the core system has some logic and depth to it, but the game itself is boring and lifeless. In short, it's wasted potential.

On the one hand, the game mechanics are very shallow, the visuals are ugly and have a cheesy feel. On the other hand, it offers incredibly well-dosed content, fun stealth, refined AI, unique mechanics and many other things for a low price.

It has everything you could want from a game. It will entertain you, it will challenge you, and you will spend a lot of time with it without even a hint of stereotype. The variety of content is truly huge on all fronts, so you won't be bored until the credits roll some 20 hours later. It's a shame that there are a few minor flaws, but they don't detract from the overall experience to the point where you'll be bothered by them.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice is not a bad game, even if it has its flaws. The stealth is handled quite well, the use of World of Darkness setting is decent, and the story isn't bas either. The voice acting is very good, and the music fits the game well. Graphically, it's not the best, but it has style and can get pretty bloody.

It's a sequel that doesn't deviate too much from the comfort zone of its predecessor, but brings at least a few novelties and improvements. It does suffer from the fact that the unit is quite fragmented in terms of content after all the additions, but it all just takes time.

The Foundation universe deserves a better game. The game benefits from what was created in 1951, and the story here is one you will enjoy. So are the choices and the ability to explore this world in much greater detail, thanks to the extensive encyclopaedia. But the gameplay falls short of not only the story, but also the potential of the game itself.

Atari dusted off another of its classics and the result is a bit scary, but at the same time cute and mostly interesting. Both younger and older players will have fun with ghosts.

UbiSoft is pushing energy to new Just Dance with single engine. There is double amount of content in Just Dance+ subscription, but this year’s setlist is a bit underwhelming. After last year’s trifecta of Harry Styles, Taylor Swift or Dua Lipa, there was hunger for more…

Despite the minor flaws, I'm having more fun with The Finals than I have had with any multiplayer game in perhaps the last 5 years. It's dynamic, explosive, exciting, mechanically perfect and technically polished. Gone are the pre-release flaws, and what's left is fun action gameplay for anyone hungry for action and destruction. Playing in small teams motivates a different play style to Call of Duty, Battlefield and others, and offers an experience that is virtually unmatched on the market.

The result is a little adventure game that doesn't offend, that is really tightly hand-animated, and that is just as nicely paced. The plot isn't complicated, but you wouldn't expect it to be. It feels like an animated movie, and even if it has a few flaws, there's something special about it.

An unusual strategy with roguelike elements, excellent processing and addictive gameplay will definitely keep you entertained, and thanks to randomly generated content, it will definitely last a long time.

Do you remember the good old Kingpin? So stay with the memories, don't play its updated version and do not spoil your pleasant nostalgia. It is Awful.

Make Way obviously wants to compete with the MicroMachines series with an innovative form of track building during the race. However, this great idea is overshadowed by poor content and gradual stereotype.

Extremely challenging but imaginative levels with references to many classic games of history are great for hardcore players. However, newbies, casual and regular players will have much more trouble and less fun.

City building simulations are trying to succeed in virtual reality. It works very well there. Little Cities just confirms that.

The green hell of the Amazonian rain forest will draw you even more into its bowels in virtual reality and brings you a much more intense experience.

The original intention to bring Cities: Skylines into virtual reality sounded interesting, but the result is rather embarrassing. Especially when there's a more capable game of this kind in VR.

Yu Suzuki has done something original here. Definitely not for everyone, but it has its charm. Unfortunately, it also has its flaws. It is hard to get into the game when one of the bosses is a clock. The final boss is just a geometric formation. The story is there, but it's as if it's not there at all. The gameplay isn't bad, but even that gets old after a while.

It's one of those games that requires a fair amount of patience and tenacity. With elements of roguelike and Metroidvania, the gameplay is great, but relentless and depressing at times. But for stubborn and persistent players, the game will reward their persistence and dying with great fun.

The massive isometric RPG from the popular universe is primarily very controversial. It offers rich content, but some elements in the game are impractical and unnecessarily complicated. Even so, Rogue Trader deserves the attention of fans of the genre.

The action is fun. That's what you'll enjoy most. You'll love the new dynamic lighting, the cheats add a little something extra, the game runs like clockwork on every platform, and there're even motion controls on the Switch. But multiplayer is lacking, the textures are ugly, and the sound is downright bad.

A remarkable game that turns you into a mad doctor for a few hours, complete with a dose of violence and morbidity. The idea is fine, the look is acceptable too, but the in-game activities are rather few and, more importantly, repetitive to death.

Form clearly outweighed content. The game is good to look at, but unfortunately that's about it. The shallow combat system, slow pace of battles, samey maps and overall flatness of the gameplay mean yet another addition to the family of failed RTS strategies.

The first souls-borne child, who seized to become a From Software successor is returning after nine long winters. This new Lampbearer presents a well-established, and captivating setting, filled with a set of well-known features, that any true soulslike fan will love and hate equally. Duality of the game’s worlds provides unique aesthetics and puzzle-like mechanics; however, its potential is never reached and noticeable imperfections are ever so noticeable. Developers deliberately sabotage players and frustrate genre fans, who’ve simply hoped for more…

Overall, Avatar is a strangely designed game that offers something different than you would expect from an action-adventure game in this world. Not an action adventure, it's more of a survival effort and slow stealth combat. But in no area is it fully fleshed out. But the world itself is handled very nicely.

The game tries to capitalise on a well-known name, but the result is something that lacks any sense of effort, love or experience. The best testament to the game's poor qualities is that nobody plays it anymore.

Surviving in an inhospitable environment is a traditional evergreen, and we plunge into harsh worlds again and again. This time it will be a real-time strategy, but it is uncompromisingly stereotypical and boring.

A fine continuation of a successful series, but you can see that the authors are sticking to this theme longer and slowly running out of ideas. The fun is kept up by a good campaign with elements of humour and you might even try out the co-op. This time it's still enough. But the developers might not consider a fifth installment, even though it's their most successful brand, because the fatigue of the material would probably show significantly.

The outlaws fighting the Sheriff of Nottingham, even in the modern conception, have failed to make a significant impact and are pulling the short end of the rope. Only time will tell if the game will eventually find enough fans.

Persona 5 Tactica fulfills many expectations like strong plot, sharp writing, interesting new characters and satisfying tactical combat with Personas at hand. Very solid entry into the series with more gameplay mechanics as you initially expected.

Party Animals isn't a bad multiplayer game, but it has some strange and almost unnecessary flaws, and the longevity of the fun you'll have playing it is questionable.

The new game from the steampunk universe with robots is city building spiced up with Dungeon Keeper-style mining. It works well. If you like to tinker with houses and resources, fun is guaranteed.

Czech developers have brought a unique combination of genres that works great. The management train ride combined with military strategic missions, RPG development and survival elements is unique and extremely complex. In addition, the authors have captured well an unseen period and a little-known stage of Czechoslovak history.

The continuation of the car race brings diverse tracks and fun game modes, but it's a shame that it doesn't contain more significant news.

Football Manager 2024 sticks to a formula that works well and doesn't try to change it, but it does add some minor innovations. These are mainly aimed at experienced and hardcore players, but the game still manages to appeal to new players through a series of hints and assistants.

The developers promised that Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! 2 would be a better game than the first, and they succeeded. But it's just a little bit better. While the game is fun and more varied, and still looks and sounds great, it's short and still pretty shallow in the end. What saves it is the fun co-op and the extended combat system. The story isn't bad either, and shows us that the developers would like to continue the series.

n this case, playing Hellboy: Web of Wyrd is a sacrifice for the story, and a sacrifice so great that you wonder if it was worth it. It wasn't. The story is good, but even that only adds to the aftertaste of a game that seems to have everything but the pleasure of playing itself.

The basic concept is simply too simple for today, and even though the developers have made some changes and innovations, it is simply not enough. This is a game about a single mechanic that you repeat over and over again. What keeps you playing is a decent level of challenge, and maybe even co-op, but definitely not variability.

Super Mario RPG is such a nice rarity - it retains the gameplay and quality of an honest-to-goodness RPG from the 90s, and gets a new visual coat and nice controls. Although it will take some getting used to in the first few hours, you'll get the hang of it and then you won't put the game down so easily.

The game fulfills the expectations of a less demanding detective game, and for younger players or perhaps Pokémon lovers, it's a really good spin-off.

If you've never had the pleasure of playing Rise of The Triad before and want to familiarise yourself with it, you're probably better off picking up the 2013 remake. While the remaster retains the spirit of the original, some things haven't aged well, and there are a few things missing.

The interactive treatment of Stanisław Lem's literary work brings exactly what we expected. It also holds up as a game, it's a walking simulator with an excellent story and an impressive atmosphere.

Overall, it can't be said that Modern Warfare III is explicitly bad. However, the issue lies in the fact that it largely consists of recycled content, and everywhere you look, there's an effort to simplify the work. If it were released as DLC or at a lower price, it would be acceptable, but the full price and the attempt to present it as a full-fledged Call of Duty title bring down the rating. The brighter moments of the game include some campaign missions, Makarov, as well as nostalgic maps in multiplayer, but that's about it.

It should have been a clear candidate for racing game of the year. But the reality after the release is a bit sobering. Significant performance issues, not entirely convincing visuals and some game modes that are rather limited and unrefined, plus a clunky menu system. On the other hand, There is an interesting driving model, high-quality sound and excellent track design.

If you like Portal-style games, don't miss the new Talos Principle, which offers hours of puzzle challenges. The game offers a large number of rooms, a quality story, and constantly adding elements that you have to use to solve puzzle. Expect the best game in this genre for this year.

One of the most famous 4X strategies has come with a new sequel and additional improvements. It has its strengths and weaknesses. Although Supernova brought some qualitative changes for the better, some aspects still should be improved.

An enhanced adrenaline ride on the elevators to the stars with a pumping soundtrack. To be honest, there aren't that many improvements and you might be disappointed.

The world here is huge and it will take you tens of hours to discover it all - there is a lot to discover. If you have a group of friends who will go with you and you enjoy a game focused on survival, production and combat and the mysterious world of dwarves, you are in the right place. But if you're looking for an engaging story from Middle Earth, you won't find it here, unfortunately.

If you're a fan of classic horror games and especially the Resident Evil series, you might like this. Even if you die for sure. You Will Die Here Tonight tries to pay homage to classic horror movies, and very successfully.

The game developers wanted to bring something new, but in the end they messed up everything they could. The map is too small and simplistic, the environment monotonous. Truck driving becomes desperately repetitive. The new gameplay elements are pointles.

Studio Teyon have shown that they understand the RoboCop brand and have delivered a game that fits in well with the established world. They've also given us what may be our last chance to enjoy Peter Weller in this iconic role. The action is fun, the shooting is probably the best this year, the upgrading and leveling makes sense, and overall it works well as a game, even if there are a number of hiccups. This game is more than the sum of its parts, though, and for fans it's something they've been waiting for for years.

The downloadable content brings more than just new manufacturing and robot options to the successful survival game. Android Hope will give new meaning to your efforts.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 brings to the PC platform the most influential titles of all time. However, in doing so it not only doesn't try to change anything but also hides behind the excuse that they don't want to disrupt the original vision of the creators. And it is a shame because it would have taken so little to have the ultimate way to play the Metal Gear Solid trilogy on modern platforms.

A pleasant surprise. It's not usual action RPG, it's a nice fusion of two genres that we could briefly describe as Diablo with Souls elements. It works, it's fun, it has style.

Get moving, lots of mini-games awaits you! Some are more micro than mini, anyway there is enough for a solo player and for a party with friends.

Horror adventure full of blood, guts and bugs from a Czech author is suitable for this period, but otherwise it is disappointing.

A really excellent mix of different genres. It does not bring anything fundamentally innovative, but what it does, it does well. It borrows the best elements of roguelike top down actions, tower defense games and MOBA strategies and combines them into an excellent game, which you will enjoy best with live teammates in cooperation.

The new isometric RPG from the creators of Tower of Time looks interesting at first glance, but a closer look reveals its flaws. The most interesting are the fights in real time with the possibility of slowing down. Overall, though, the game feels unfinished.

This is definitely not a game for everyone, it requires skill, attention and luck, and is designed to constantly repeat the same parts of the levels until you pass them. If you enjoy it, it will be interesting for you, if not, you better skip it.

When it comes to Alan Wake 2, there's no need to hold back on the superlatives; every single one of them is well-deserved. But if I had to pinpoint one element that truly captures your attention, it's the extraordinary storyline.

Adrenaline racing in the wilderness shows us its muddy face again. And most racers probably won't like it very much. It is just so horribly boring and uninteresting, that it's hard to say even one single quality to try the game for.

I found F1 Manager 2023 to be slightly worse than last year's edition. In small things, not important stuff, but still. That's the first aspect that pulls the score down. The second one is the fact that after the previous edition we were expecting updates and improvements in every part of the game, but we got basically the same game in terms of content and mechanics.

Co-op action with thieves continues, and while the foundation is good, the game needs time for the authors to expand it sufficiently. Above all, it has only few maps, especially when compared to the previous game.

Skylines II is a good strategy builder that meets today's standards, but could have delivered a little more. You won't find anything in the management that you haven't seen in the previous game or in other city building games. We appreciate the opportunity to build a really huge megalopolis with a complex structure.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a very good 2D platformer, full of little innovations, but it doesn't feel like a major revolution. It plays very similarly to Super Mario Bros. 2, and that's a game that's already 35 years old.

The sense of fun and the joy of discovery will surely please fans not only of the first game, but also of the classic RPG genre with pixel graphics. The difficulty can be off-putting at times, as can the occasional wandering, but if you like retro, you'll forgive the game for its flaws.

In many ways, this game is the fulfillment of fans' fantasies of what it's like to be Spider-Man. We get our hands on a huge open city, expanded to include Brooklyn, Queens and beyond, where we use a wide range of abilities and options to take down a familiar gallery of villains. There are a few problems, though, and it's not pleasant to see them repeated from the first game.

The topic is interesting, the plot is engaging, and we have nothing to complain about the presentation of the senselessness of the conflict as such. But at the same time, Ad Infinitum contains many dead places and boring passages, which, although they stretch the game time lasting around 6-7 hours, but at the same time dilute the atmosphere of the whole experience. It's a shame, but it shouldn't be a reason to dismiss Ad Infinitum forever.

Placing the next Total War game in Egypt was probably not the best decision. The Bronze Age simply tied the creators' hands too much, and you can see it especially during the fights. A small variety of units and battles that lack real juice drag the rating down. On the contrary, dynasty management is fun and last a long time.

The Slovak cardboard hero is not afraid of anything and overcomes the pitfalls in the mazes in a sympathetic way.

The game seems a little ordinary at first, but then it shows a complex, well-designed Viking settlement simulation, culminating in the planning of war expeditions. In the later stage, it will exhaust its possibilities and surprises, and it is a pity that there is no story, but it is definitely an interesting experience for fans of building strategies.

It’s a tale as old as time, retold story about a naive lie. But this one’s bout a laggy metal boy, who swings a huge sharp sword and not a toy. Who stood up to an army of puppets mad and faced great monsters, what a wonderfully adapted lad. Using Fable Arts and Legion Arms, he collects Ergo to do some charms. Invest thy knowledge to prevent further damage and pay the creators your homage. Seek the secrets and discover what is there to be, of off the brilliant world, created by the somehow not impactful Lies of a naive boy named P!

The Football Cup 2023 fails in everything that video game football should be. And the worst part is that the creators have clearly given up on trying to make it better. Want football on Switch? Wait for FC 24, grab old FIFA editions, or almost anything else.

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans 2 is not a bad game, and will especially appeal to fans of the legendary Italian duo. Compared to the first game, it has been expanded and improved in many ways, but it also has some nasty bugs that detract from the overall experience.

In Mirage, Assassin's Creed embarks on an exhilarating journey back to its origins, immersing players in the enigmatic world of Basim, the Baghdad Sleuth. Mirage presents a blend of stealth-focused gameplay within a more intimate urban landscape, where players unravel intriguing mysteries in a city shrouded in secrets.

More than 500 cars, 20 completely redesigned tracks, each with different variations, an already rich career and addictive multiplayer. And that's just the beginning of the new Forza Motorsport. Turn 10 is truly delivering a next-generation racing game that strips away the bells and whistles to focus on the driving and the experience. You're going to drive a lot, you're going to improve, you're going to unlock new things and you're going to have fun. That's the most important thing.

After Michael Jordan, the main character of the current NBA season is Kobe Bryant. But if you want more changes in game, you will be disappointed. And the fun is still spoiled by microtransactions.

Innovative adventure strategy, especially adventure, which has an interesting approach, atmosphere and folklore. But in practice, the gameplay is quite cumbersome, unbalanced, and after a few hours you will find that it is also sterile and brings only limited fun. What starts out as a promising settlement management quickly turns into a routine with limited construction and lifeless wandering in the forest.

Although Highrise City seems quite complex, it is somehow economical at the same time. As if the creators saved in every direction and were afraid of finer processing, going more in-depth, creating more comfort for players, as well as more beautiful visuals, and the story is downright sloppy.

Actually, there are not many problems in the core itself. But after so many months and for a premium price, you would expect more. You'd expect more variety and longer gameplay. You'd expect more novelty in the gameplay. You'd expect new environments, new puzzles, new enemies, new weapons. But that's not here. All we got was the same stuff we got back in March.

Thanks to great technological enhancements, you'll enjoy the best virtual football experience in years. It's just a shame that it's all built on tweaks. Also, all the new technology is just there to improve what we already know. But we want new modes, new experiences. And that's not here.

Three heroes once again save the fairy tale world in a beautiful rendering. Once again - and once again it's fun. At half the price of the big projects, it's an option you shouldn't overlook if you're serious about puzzle platformers.

Chants of Sennaar also has the advantage that there hasn't really been another game like this one. There may be a few indie deciphering adventure games, but they lack the rich narrative and well-crafted aesthetics of Chants of Sennaar.

The Phantom Liberty expansion is the perfect final piece for the Cyberpunk 2077 game. It introduces a new city district, a gripping spy story with intriguing choices, and a variety of missions. The expansion also features Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves, along with stunning visuals.

Abriss knows how to build, it knows how to tear down, it can entertain. If you are attracted to demolition games with targeted destruction of objects, where you have to speculate while looking for solutions, this is right choice for you.

Crew Motorfest doesn't end badly, it's a good step forward for the series. A smaller area suits the game, as well as improved controls, physics, visuals. Maybe it's a shame that there is still a need for an online connection, or that Ubisoft is needlessly copying Forza Horizon and taking the already conquered island from Test Drive Unlimited.

NetherRealm has really managed to make an exceptionally high quality title that is great story-wise and handles the brand boldly, yet with honour. Mortal Kombat 1 may very well be the best fighting game in this busy year, and it ranks among the best that this well-known franchise has ever delivered.

Mr. Run and Jump is an imaginative and challenging game that will test your skills and patience. It doesn't feel unfair, but you can clearly see that the designers' aim was to make you suffer as much as possible. There are a few small things that creak a little, but it's still a good experience that fans of similar games will enjoy.

This minimalist game is not only fun, but also educational. You will use energy from renewable sources and create ecological projects. Although the game is short, some parts could have been a little more refined, but it fulfills its purpose reliably.
