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.

A nice comic trip across the USA. It has a good idea, atmosphere, processing, and even the basis of the gameplay is not bad, it's just a shame that the gameplay is gradually the same and there are not enough new options to keep the game interesting.

Jumping with an adorable demon brings solid gameplay in atypical visuals. There is a plenty of content, but combat mechanics are boring and level design can be a bit confusing.

Tempestfall is a good action game in virtual reality from the Warhammer universe. Only fans of Age of Sigmar may have some issues with Tempestfall compared to the tabletop original.

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…

Prison Simulator offers a wide variety of activities you cannot normally engage in real life. It may seem like a stereotypical game, but supervisor simulation with daily activities of prisoners naturally comes with some routine.

Do you like being scared in a dark environment with hunters behind you? Then come, but try not to scream, as any vocal expression could be fatal to you.

If you want pure action with spectacular shootouts, then Trepang2 is here for you. Although don't expect too much. You get adrenaline and intense action with decent numbers of enemies and poor story.

It's not a bad game, but it's still somewhat disappointing. If everything worked as it should, it would be a solid World War II RTS. However, the difficulty fluctuates, which is frustrating. The units' artificial intelligence is poor, and although the assortment corresponds to the chosen period, the parameters are not optimal and the overall balance is poor.

Cave Digger 2 is not a bad game, but despite its procedural environment generation, it eventually falls into monotony. Online partners in cooperation can help you with that, but even that is not enough in the end. It remains an experience that you will enjoy once, but you won't come back to it.

Marathon is an interesting project from Bungie that has some merit, but so far it doesn’t feel like it’s living up to its full potential. It’s held back by limited content, a cluttered layout, poor navigation, and repetitive gameplay. That said, the game has a solid foundation in its shooting mechanics, movement, and the need for tactical decision-making during extractions.

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 are a fan of the Tron universe, you don't have to worry at all, the game can draw you in and brings an interesting story. But it also works the other way around. The world of Tron can appeal to fans of visual novels or detective games, even if they haven't had the chance to experience Tron so far. It's that unique mix where things just clicked. But there are also some shortcomings.

Way of the Hunter: Wild America on mobile offers a solid, though trimmed-down, hunting experience. While the core of the game remains enjoyable, the touchscreen controls limit its authenticity and depth. The game serves more as a teaser that hints at a better, more immersive experience on other platforms with proper controllers.

If you like the original game, this add-on will not disappoint you either. Gameplay hasn't changed, but who wouldn't want to fight alongside Kyle Reese?

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.

NHL 26 pushes authenticity forward with ICE-Q 2.0 and NHL EDGE data, offering more realistic player differentiation and broadcast-style presentation. While core modes like Be A Pro and HUT see meaningful refinements, the series still feels evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

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.

For fans of building, architecture and planning add-ons, this is a good choice. It offers a career mode, but also a free mode for those who want to create something creative without any major restrictions. The game is purely focused on building homes, although without any deeper complex management.

Edge of Eternity is solid attempt of being love letter to bygone era of JRPG. The well-established world and combat system could take you dozens of hours and soundtrack will please you every time. But poor pacing, weak character models and uneven difficulty could lower your enthusiasm here.

Celebrate Easter and Christ's resurrection in style with this game, which will allow you to become Jesus himself for a moment, whether you believe or not.

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.

Breakout still has a lot to offer thanks to its catchy gameplay. The new neon visual adds a fresh touch to the game, but sometimes you get lost in all the effects and explosions on the screen, and the controls could also be more responsive.

Driving the new edition of F1 is still a great experience, but it didn't come with significantly new and better content, so don't expect too much.

Another in the series of simulators, this time taking us to a restaurant that really smells of kebab. The game offers quite a bit of relaxation.

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem is another action-packed old-school shooter with tons of enemies and interesting weaponry. Although the gameplay is good, minor bugs and design mistakes can spoil your impression.

Asteroids: Recharged is a nice little addition to Recharged series of Atari arcade classics that will bring back all those memories of playing the original at the arcades or at home with your own Atari console.

You are Germany's last hope in WW2 because only you and the secret projects you create in the underground bunker can prevent the empire from being defeated. But it is a hell of a difficult task. Challenging management awaits you and you also have to deal with game errors.

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.

Chessarama is a fine chess experience, enriching the world's most famous board game with new challenges and mini-games that offer a fresh perspective on what can be done with chess pieces. Sadly, however, the developers have resigned themselves to trying to deliver something more and something deeper.

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.

The hero of the manga and anime tries to win the favor of players in the platform action. He has charisma and various abilities, but it is not always easy with him.

Beautifully different action game. It's not perfect and there are some things that could be improved, but you will find original elements and interesting moments that are worth it. It's a shame that the various distractions make the game less enjoyable and can be frustrating. However, if you want an unusual combat and action experience, you will definitely get it here.

DNF Duel is a fun fighting game suitable even for players who are not fans of the genre or do not have much experience with it. But you won't enjoy the story very much and the online gameplay is quite austere. In addition, the Switch version does not support rollback netcode.

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.

Tempest 4000 brings back all those awesome memories from arcades. Its presentation, visuals and soundtrack are still great. But the game is too similar to TxK and it is a bit pricey.

Legendary director John Carpenter lent his name to this zombie-filled co-op action game, which is acceptable but doesn't quite measure up to the quality of the master's films.

The sequel to the cute platformer on two limbs will torment you again, but it also brings satisfaction when you manage to overcome the pitfalls. You will have more fun with a patient teammate.

The revamped Stronghold Crusader comes with expanded content, but also the awkward intelligence of military units, which are also poorly balanced.

Relive the glory days of classic FPS games with this Slovak arena shooter featuring comic-style graphics, metal music and dynamic gameplay. Although jamming enemies can be frustrating, it's a great experience for just 5 euros.

Dakar Desert Rally still feels like an Early Access game, and while there is huge potential and the driving will win you over, there is very little content and important options and features are missing.

Misc. A Tiny Tale is a charming, short 3D platformer clearly inspired by Chibi-Robo—to the point where it often feels like a fan-made tribute or low-budget clone. That said, it’s a wholesome experience with a good heart, cheerful atmosphere, and likable robotic characters. Unfortunately, the game never truly excels—its platforming feels imprecise, combat is dull, and the visuals reflect its limited budget. It’s cute, but hard to shake the feeling you’re playing a "Chibi-Robo from Wish."

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.

Chess in an unconventional presentation brings fun and interesting possibilities, but it is repetitive over time and has only simple graphics.

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.

Basically a good, traditional management strategy, with decent community development, but it starts to become stereotyped quite quickly and you can miss some more excitement and gradation. Basically, the threat is negligible, a little skill is enough and everything works without any major problems.

A nostalgic Marvel collection that mixes genuine classics with titles that haven’t aged nearly as well. Modern features like save states, rewind, and online co-op for X-Men make the package more accessible, and some games still hold up surprisingly well. However, the overall quality is inconsistent, with several entries feeling outdated or repetitive even by the standards of their time. A solid retro bundle for fans, but not all of these games stand the test of time.

Fans of classic survival horror will find this modern take on the genre partially satisfying. However, the content is largely unoriginal, and the uncomfortable camerawork is off-putting.

Nicely processed mix of golf, puzzle and unconventional story. The options with tricks and traps are nicely resolved, but the levels are too similar and some are unnecessarily hard.

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 Dark Quest series was first released in 2015 and is now in its fourth installment. The dungeon crawler, which is based on the rules of a board game, hides more than it seems. Underneath its modest exterior, it hides tactical depth, but, unfortunately, also some bugs that make the gameplay unpleasant.

With only a small team of developers, Super Sly Fox has managed to create a modern filmmaking tycoon game that gives you all the tools to build your own successful film studio. However, the game lacks the depth to keep you glued to the director's chair for dozens of hours. Blockbuster Inc. is a beautiful ode to both the magical world of filmmaking and management games. But after a while, the game becomes very repetitive, lacks any real challenge, and fails to motivate players to continue creating new films.

Endless Ocean Luminous is an enjoyable diving adventure in which you get to know many species of marine animals and the reason for their protection. However, the game quickly becomes stereotypical, and the story is incomprehensibly locked behind a series of generic and tediously repetitive quests outside of the story mode.

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.

The new Painkiller is here, and while you'll enjoy shooting alongside other players, it's not the game that players wanted — it's too far from the original concept.

Arkane Studios brought co-op in the world of vampires, but the game does not reach the quality of the titles Dishonored, Deadhloop, Prey, for which autors became famous.

Blacktail has a solid foundation, and incredible open world, but lack of weapons, spells, and enemies. Therefore, it will soon become stereotyped and less attractive.

A solid game that is suitable for players who are starting with adventures or puzzle games. It features easy puzzles and several smaller adventures in individual houses that ultimately make up a complete game. However, in everything you feel that it could have been done better and without bugs.

It is difficult to judge a game like this. In a year's time, it could be something completely different. The campaign can be rewritten, expanded, modified. The gameplay can change, new characters, enemies, missions and so on can be added. Equally, a year from now, the servers may be down and the game box may just be an unusable artifact on a shelf somewhere. For now, though, it's like this. Good story, good co-op, good action and an absolutely great audio experience. But on top of that, some uninteresting missions, technical problems & outdated graphics.

A content-packed World War II RTS where the authors took a step in the right direction by simplifying it a bit, but without fundamentally compromising its complexity and attention to detail. But a lot of bugs spoil everything, and it will probably take a long time to get everything working as it should.

Angry Birds Journey is another attempt to revive the famous brand. It uses a familiar but simplified formula that is still quite entertaining. However, stamina system and game mechanics adjusted for monetization can be annoying.

Slave Zero X is a game where there is a great dissonance between how it looks and how it plays. It's one of the most stylish games of the year, and it looks great. It sounds very good too. It does a good job of reviving a now-forgotten brand and establishing its own distinct and unique biopunk identity. However, in many ways it feels unfinished and unbalanced. The difficulty is very unbalanced, the controls could be more responsive and the gameplay could be better handled, especially mechanically.

Nintendo Switch Sports keeps the spirit of Wii Sports alive, but there are some compromises in its design that hold back its potential. But still, multiplayer is fun as ever.

The sci-fi action RPG inspired by the Dark Souls series tries to bring players an engaging experience. But the rough hero fails.

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.

Millennia does try to at least partially differentiate itself from the Civilization series, but despite some good ideas and tweaks, it's just another less successful clone. The transition to new periods, which may be different, is especially interesting. However, it is spoiled by poor AI and shortcomings, for example in the diplomacy.

Although the remake went through the HD process and offered the old good gameplay with modern graphics, bonus perks, new characters and a challenge mode, but for that exorbitant price, the player would expect more than just 8 levels and around three hours of gameplay.

This skateboarding simulation will really torture you. Hardcore players will enjoy it, others not so much. Session: Skate Sim is just an unfinished version of a project with good ideas.

This 4v4 title with matches under 5 minutes is a blast for a quick evening couch session. On the other hand, the lack of any meaningful content, variety of modes, players and other makes it harder to come back to. But with reasonably spaced-out updates and seasons filed with content, this might just be a major multiplayer glow up!

A dystopian sci-fi platformer from a fan of nineties games bears a striking resemblance to the iconic Flashback. Maybe that's why you'll enjoy it.

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.

Ubisoft has brought the first, more realistic and dramatic DLC to the story of Nao and Yasuke in Claws of Awaji. You get a new small island with a short side story, a few nice missions and a new weapon. It's just a very basic content offer for the expansion and the whole thing sounds so much poorer in terms of story.

The endless circle of gameplay with other companions has closed, but it has not brought any more. The collection lacks a strong campaign, a good dose of the story or motivation.

Hlína feels like an art film at a festival — strange, unique, and quietly magical. It’s a short but memorable experience that stays with you long after it ends. The minimalist gameplay and brief length are its main drawbacks, and I also faced notable technical issues on PC. Still, the story and atmosphere carry it far. We need more games like this — just a bit more polished.

Crown Wars has a good core concept that combines castle management with combat missions from historical France. However, the gameplay itself is quite incomplete, it seems primitive, and instead of fine-tuning it, the developers unnecessarily focused on violent scenes.

With the arrival of the Czech gangster action on Steam and the new expansion with robots, we hoped that the game would be taken to a higher level. In reality, little has changed and the game still has its original flaws.

Tomas Sala, with a handful of helpers, created a somewhat strange game, the exceptionality of which cannot be doubted. But you will only have a limited amount of fun. However, Bulwark can impress you with a difference that you won't find in other strategy games.

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.

The modern incarnation of Wizardry shows the strengths of the forefather of dungeon crawler, but also the ailments it suffered from. It refers in a sympathetic way to the original game (old-school settings, preview of the classic look in the inset window). It is a pleasant reminder and memory, but with less convincing gameplay.

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.

Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach is the newest addition to the fans' favourite indie survival horror series and although it expands its ideas into 3D space marvellously, due to its performance issues it delivers an undercooked pizza experience.

If you overcome rough presentation, low-res cut-scenes and a bit clunky interface, you can expect very solid plot, excellent characters, party banter, interesting world and intense boss fights. Still, this title is not fully fulfilling remaster promise and many fans expected a bit more.

Cris Tales wanted to be a tribute to old school PlayStation JRPGs, but it fails to deliver interesting story and gameplay. It's not bad at all, but it's not very good either.

Hotel Barcelona is an entertaining but uneven experience. Its chaotic, unpolished, and occasionally frustrating nature will appeal to fans of Swery and Suda, though it doesn’t fully deliver on expectations. The gameplay is serviceable but too ordinary, and the visuals feel bland. The story is enjoyable, some concepts work, and there’s replayability, but it’s hard not to feel disappointed it didn’t come together better.

In Sound Mind is an above-average indie project. It is gratifying that the fear presented in the game does not build on cheap jump scares, but systematically builds a thrilling atmosphere.

Forever Skies offers a relaxing survival experience with a unique atmosphere and an intriguing premise. However, its shallow gameplay loop lacks depth and urgency, making it easy to put down after a short session. While the game has charm, it struggles to stand out in a crowded genre full of similar titles.

If you miss old-school arcade racing games, this one is a real blast from the past that will keep those memories alive.

The last Shadow Warrior attempted to return to the simpler gameplay and roots of the series, but the changes towards simplicity were too great.

Haunting looks completely different when you're controlling the ghosts and trying to scare people. Ghost Master is here to show you just that. Unfortunately, the game is less popular with players these days.

A quarter of a century is a long time to develop a sequel to a cult classic and Outcast - A New Beginning certainly shows this in its outdated approach to mechanics, animation, and technical development. The sequel certainly contains a list of non-negligible shortcomings, however, its magical charm that combines a world similar to the Avatar movies and player freedom best known from the Just Cause series overshines many of them! The undying love of the series’ enthusiasts has respawned Cutter Slade for another glide across the stunning world of Adelpha.

This is just a shallow imitation of other co-op games, that wants to take advantage of the absence of similar games in virtual reality.

Not even the picturesque world nor the functional elements can save the game from its boring content. You would need stronger motivation to keep playing this game and after a while it fades quickly.

War Mongrels is not the worst attempt at an offshoot of Commandos. The missions are comprehensive and with diverse content, the audiovisual side is good. But then there are things that are not good enough.

Even after decades of research, handful of deep space probes and a bunch of scientific rovers, humanity is still fascinated with Mars. Immersive experience of Deliver Us Mars satisfies this very fascination by serving its junky gameplay and ridiculous animations on a way too ambitious plate, while a wonderfully grand, Interstellar like music coats the imperfectly glitchy background. This results in a seemingly spectacular story with enormous set pieces, which lacks the necessary polish, mostly due to obvious budget limitations.

Overall, Felvidek offers a very high-quality audiovisual experience, you will also enjoy the story, but the gameplay, unfortunately, suffers from the absence of any depth, plus the game is outrageously short and, does not offer much replayability.

Regarding Ship Graveyard Simulator 2, I can responsibly declare that it is a title that has a simple idea, an average execution, but it somehow entertains people and keeps them by their dungarees.

GWENT: Rogue Mage is an expansion suited for players who need new challenges, like to test their patience and improvise strategies. But because of a rather repetitive gameplay and disappointing story, it’s a game that casual fans of Gwent can easily skip.

Sci-fi horror from SCP unverse delivers a short spooky walk with untapped potential.
