The game is not inherently a bad project, and the fun it provides is not (paradoxically) rubbish. However, to overcome the mediocrity limit, the game needs more variability in objects, as repeating the same procedures and desperately assembling boxes leads the fun curve to a steep downward slope.

FZ: Formation Z successfully modernizes a forgotten classic while staying true to its original spirit. Its fun transformation mechanics, satisfying action, and replayability shine, though outdated design choices like the lack of saving and limited progression variety make it feel stuck between nostalgia and modern expectations.

Bubsy 4D is a charming but rough-around-the-edges platformer that offers accessible gameplay, enjoyable exploration, and plenty of collectibles. While technical issues, weak level aesthetics, and dated design hold it back, it remains a pleasant adventure for younger players and nostalgic Bubsy fans.

The Gothic hero is back in decent form. It boasts modern graphics and offers a compelling story and precise character development. However, the progression is slow and demanding, which can be frustrating in the first few hours.

World of Tanks: Heat successfully transforms tank combat into a fast-paced hero shooter with solid gameplay, strong maps, and impressive visuals. However, shallow worldbuilding, heavy grinding, limited content, and balance issues prevent it from becoming a long-term multiplayer obsession.

Mixtape is not a strong game in the traditional sense, as its interactivity is limited and most of its short chapters require very little effort from the player. However, it works much better as a nostalgic cinematic experience about growing up, friendship, music and the bittersweet feeling of leaving youth behind. Its 90s atmosphere, emotional tone and carefully chosen soundtrack carry the whole journey, even when the gameplay itself remains very simple.

If Hades is your favorite game, you should also give its blood- and ink-splattered competitor a try. Realm of Ink offers great combat, a rich selection of professions, and interesting skill-switching mechanics.

The game will also surprise you with its extensive possibilities for crafting, exploring and building your mobile base.

Cleaning is not a popular activity, but it works well on computer screens. But certainly not in this game.

The ship voyage is connected to a deeply personal story that will touch you and definitely won't leave you cold. It's a shame, though, that the game uses outdated mechanics and graphics.

Directive 8020 is one of the better parts of The Dark Pictures Anthology, but don't expect it to be a major departure from the series or anything else. It has an interesting setting, an impressive atmosphere, good characters, and a functional story foundation, which creates the basis for a quality interactive adventure game, but at the same time it suffers from perhaps too forced and repetitive gameplay elements.

A military veteran, ex-cop and now a P.I. – Jack Pepper seemingly lived through it all and yet his biggest catch is on the horizon.

Do you have what it takes to put all the evidence on the board?

After an incredible ten years of development and six years in Early Access, the space survival simulator has reached its full release. Is it still attractive? Yes! Is it perfectly tuned and flawless? Unfortunately, no.

007 First Light is a strong new beginning for James Bond in games, combining a deep origin story, varied missions, stealth, action, excellent hand-to-hand combat, precise shooting, impressive visuals and classic Bond atmosphere. A few slower sections and the lack of a body-hiding mechanic are minor issues in an otherwise excellent spy adventure.

Invincible VS delivers a brutal, fast-paced 3v3 fighting system with strong mechanics and a stylish presentation faithful to the series. However, its very short story mode, uneven character balance, and weak onboarding for newcomers hold it back. A solid foundation that feels like it still needs more time to fully evolve.

From agile fighters to huge cruisers, you can try them all in the new Slovak space game. It didn't turn out exactly the best. Neither pilots nor commanders will have it easy.

Nintendo is merging two best-selling series into compelling building title appealing to Animal Crossing builders and Pokémon trainers alike. The concept is refreshing and sense of progression keeps players busy discovering all the secrets of the world and its current inhabitants.

Sneaking and core gameplay mechanics work well, though the current progression systems still feel somewhat limited and could benefit from further expansion over time.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book may look like another spin-off title, but it features new forms of gameplay. The unfolding levels and gameplay discovery are well worth it and it will please platformer fans as well as players open to experimenting within the genre. It boosts a ton of ideas and is far from just an easy kids' game this time.

Double Fine has made a lot of money out of the absurd concept, and the pot fights can be more fun than you might think. The question remains, however, whether a small multiplayer game can keep enough players. It's a shame the game doesn't include a singleplayer.

The dystopian action returned in a sequel that we expected would learn from the original game's shortcomings. It didn't. But at least main protagonist Nora gets to finish her story.

Forza Horizon 6 is not only the best entry in the series, but one of the greatest arcade racers ever made. It captures the pure joy of driving in a way few games still do, in a genre that feels increasingly rare today. Its recreation of Japan is stunning and authentic, blending a vibrant open world with a deep respect for car culture. Add hundreds of hours of content, strong online play, and outstanding audiovisual presentation, and you get a game that simply feels complete.

Get caught up in the gold rush with this fantastic simulation of life in the American wilderness. As well as digging for gold, you can hunt, rebuild a hotel and enjoy a variety of other activities. The mix of different activities makes the game attractive and will keep you entertained for hours.

A story about a rat in love is probably not going to appeal to the audience. The gameplay is not the best, and the uncomfortable controls make it even worse.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined shows how to update the classical JRPG into the current era. There is undeniable well-working ecosystem at the core but thanks to new enhancements and graphics, it plays better than before. The amount of options will please many fans, even on repeated playthrough.

Saving the world from aggressive invaders requires the recruitment of personalities from different periods of our history. And yet, that's not enough. The ideas and mechanics are quite good, but some of the components and poor technical condition hurt the game.

WoW: Midnight is very solid expansion and confirms the right decision to develop the Worldsoul Saga with right level of cohesion and continuity in the series. The housing system is welcome addition, new Prey system looks promising and nice UI changes will delight the players. But the greatest positive is the return to Azeroth and Silvermoon City rewamp along with Eversong Woods visits.

Bus Bound is a relatively unassuming game that you wouldn't expect much from, but it manages to pleasantly surprise you. The city looks nice and lively, but the gameplay can get monotonous over time. But it's a game that you can return to after a long time and enjoy it just as much as the first time.

Crown of Greed is a good clone of the Majesty series, but it doesn't bring any new ideas and it might be worth waiting a while longer for the remaining bugs to be fixed. It's also a shame that it only contains a campaign, although it's good, but nothing more. You can relax and have fun playing the game, just don't expect too much from it.

Resurgence works better than one might expect, but if you're looking for a full-fledged PC and console experience without the compromises and constant monetization, the mobile version won't quite convince you, but it can still be fun.

We've probably never seen a driving simulator in such a boring form. Your eyes will be blinking while playing, even if you're drinking hectoliters of coffee.

Aphelion delivers a visually striking world and excellent soundtrack, but ultimately fails where it matters most – gameplay. The story never truly gains momentum and the characters feel generic, resulting in an experience that feels style-over-substance. Despite strong audiovisual presentation, the game serves as a reminder that presentation alone is not enough to carry a title.

Housemarque strikes back with another thrilling expedition into the unknown. Saros is masterfully expanding the studio's roguelike gameplay in the compelling world. The fast-bullet action, the sense of discovery and playing cycles stick to your mind. One of the best sci-fi voyages of the decade.

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.

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.

A strong narrative-driven experience that stands out for its meaningful choices and emotional storytelling. Tides of Tomorrow delivers a thoughtful, often impactful journey with clear real-world parallels, making it more ambitious than many similar titles on the market. Despite a few minor flaws, it remains a highly recommended experience for fans of choice-driven adventures.

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.

Project Songbird is proof that even with a smaller budget, you can create a work that will be etched in the player's memory. It is a title for the more demanding player who, instead of hectoliters of blood, seeks depth and atmosphere. An interesting theme, top-notch sound and the persistent feeling that you are not alone make the game one of the more interesting indie horrors of recent times.

The sequel to the highly challenging adrenaline-pumping third-dimensional platformer will bring you dramatic moments and (again) many deaths. The camera angles that aren't always suitable will make things even more difficult.

A memorable and visually striking adventure filled with emotional twists and standout moments. While its unique style and pacing won’t appeal to everyone, fans of story-driven experiences will find plenty to enjoy. A focused, narrative-heavy journey that rewards those willing to embrace its distinct approach.

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is a short prequel set in the beloved Nosgoth universe, offering fans a chance to explore Raziel's origin and revisit familiar characters. While the voice acting and music are excellent, the game suffers from a shallow, fan-fiction-like story and bland gameplay. Retro 2D visuals and occasional animated sequences look nice individually, but the mix feels inconsistent. Fans of the series may appreciate the return to Nosgoth, but for newcomers or those seeking engaging mechanics, the experience is underwhelming.

As a spiritual successor to the original UFO games, it's excellent; as a full-fledged sequel to Xenonauts 1, however, it's rather disappointing. While it still plays well and offers exploration, combat, construction and management, after 10 years of development, we certainly expected more.

Screamer tries to blend anime storytelling with arcade racing, but the result feels disjointed and ultimately boring. While the visual style and split-screen multiplayer are welcome, the repetitive structure, weak driving mechanics, and poorly presented story that’s easy to skip drag the experience down. It’s a unique idea that never truly comes together.

Rainbow Six Mobile is a surprisingly good port overall and shows that a tactical brand can still work on mobile while retaining its core identity. The game offers familiar maps, operators, and a pace that can bring exciting matches. Perhaps it's a bit of a shame about the more aggressive monetization, but if you don't want to, you don't have to pay (but you have to grind).

Life is Strange: Reunion delivers an emotional return to beloved characters, blending a solid detective story with impactful choices and strong atmosphere. While the narrative and music shine, the experience is held back by minimal gameplay, technical issues, and a short runtime. It’s not the grand finale the series might deserve, but it still offers a meaningful and heartfelt conclusion for fans.

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.

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.

That said, the game has a solid foundation in its shooting mechanics, movement, and the need for tactical decision-making during extractions.

Crimson Desert is a demanding, complex RPG that can feel punishing and occasionally unfair, especially without constant progression. Yet it offers a breathtaking open world with unmatched scale and depth. Its reception will vary widely—frustrating for some, but deeply rewarding for those willing to fully invest.

If you want to build and develop your settlement in peace or spice things up with some combat skirmishes, Going Medieval is great. Compared to other games of this type, there are fewer options and the technologies are less interesting, which may be due to the strict medieval setting, which tries to be realistic. However, mods can help with this.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered shows its age in places, with shallow combat, recycled environments, and some technical issues. However, its outstanding story, rich mythology, and charismatic performances from the lead characters still shine. The improved visuals, better camera, and generous bonus materials make this the best way to revisit a classic.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake delivers a tense and atmospheric survival horror experience with rich folklore, immersive sound design, and a compelling story. While the remake updates visuals and expands content, clunky controls, outdated backtracking, and occasional design frustrations prevent it from fully capturing the original’s mastery.

1348: Ex Voto is an interesting game with a great atmosphere, but it has a lot of problems. Its strongest point is the gloomy mood of the medieval world, which draws the player into a plague-ridden environment. However, the title suffers from technical shortcomings, repetitive combat and an empty world.

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.

Earth Must Die is a point & click adventure that embodies the worst sins of the genre – the puzzles consist merely of clicking on everything you can interact with, and the story is both sleep-inducing and frustrating at the same time.

This modern, original turn-based strategy game with RPG elements offers the unusual experience of building an empire of machines. However, mastering the new mechanisms requires patience. There are many activities in the game that could have been better explained. The game is interesting, but also tedious.

The balance between settlement management and combat missions works convincingly well. The experience is held back primarily by technical issues, though these may be resolved over time.

Overall, Lost and Found Co. is a nice relaxing game with detailed and content-rich environments that builds on simple and accessible gameplay. Some of the mechanics could be more in-depth, but as a cozy hidden object title, the game works very well and if you want to relax, it will not disappoint you.

Many players probably don't expect much from a port simulator, but this game proved to be a pleasant surprise. The controls are intuitive and fun, and you won't get bored even after playing for hours. You will also notice your own improvement over time when handling containers and heavy machinery, which will draw you in for more hours of play. The only downside is that the game doesn't include multiplayer or co-op modes.

Lana and her companion Mui are back. They are an effective team once again and must work together to solve the problems facing a beautiful world under threat from machines and slavers. Although the story is longer this time, it ultimately shows that Lana still has room for improvement.

While it's a long journey, it's an exciting one, filled with tension, strategic decisions and the fight for survival in the uncharted depths of space.

Reigns: The Witcher is a fun and addictive mix of The Witcher’s dark fantasy and the simple, swipe-based Reigns mechanics. It doesn’t stray far from the series formula, so longtime fans will feel right at home. Quick decisions can lead to life, death, or chaos, and while the gameplay can feel repetitive at times, the variety of characters and outcomes keeps it engaging. Perfect for short sessions on mobile, though not particularly innovative.

An experienced veteran joins forces with a young FBI agent in a story that is sure to keep players on the edge of their seats. The two main characters offer two distinctly different types of gameplay. Survival, stealth, exploration and puzzles confront straightforward action.

Cairn is more than just a pleasant surprise. Expectations were low, but the game made a good impression. The way you get absorbed in the relaxing gameplay is incredible.

God of War: Sons of Sparta is a competent 2D metroidvania that expands Kratos’ past with solid combat, familiar voices, and a decent amount of content. However, generic level design, forgettable bosses, heavy backtracking, and a lack of standout moments prevent it from feeling worthy of the franchise’s legacy. Functional, but surprisingly uninspired.

This collection is the best way to experience the original Rayman, offering multiple versions with modern enhancements and a wealth of archival content for longtime fans. However, as a 30th anniversary tribute, it feels underwhelming — lacking additional entries and replacing the original soundtrack with a new one that doesn’t quite capture the same magic.

Old school Marvel beat-em-up with strong cooperative gameplay brings a bunch of heroes and villains to fight with. The campaign is short, the situation is sometimes unclear, but you will still enjoy the battles.

Nioh 3 is a culmination of fast-paced combat system of the series with beautiful and rich Japanese mythology full of different eras and yokai influence. The addition of Ninja combat style pushes Nioh further and open levels are providing players with new options. This is best of Team Ninja and already one of top videogames of 2026.

This is an average sequel to a tactical game, with the combat being the best aspect. Graphically, it has improved slightly compared to the last game, but the story and texts fail to attract much attention. Nevertheless, the game will find an audience eager to continue the story from Liberation.

Reanimal delivers a tense, visually striking survival-horror experience in the vein of Little Nightmares. Its cooperative gameplay, claustrophobic levels, and subtle storytelling keep players on edge, while hidden collectibles extend the 6–8 hour runtime. Though it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it refines the series’ formula with style and atmosphere.

Mario Tennis Fever delivers fast, accessible arcade tennis backed by impressive depth and an abundance of modes. Its strong local and online multiplayer ensures long-term appeal, even if the game rarely surprises and mainly refines familiar ideas. A polished and highly enjoyable iteration rather than a bold reinvention.

In this Slovak physics-based puzzle game, you try to reach the human world as an awakened ancient entity. It's a stylish appetizer, followed by a more extensive game.

Is this collection worth it? The first game is still fun, but the sequel remains a bad game with little reason to revisit. €20 for two basic ports with minimal improvements is too much.

Dispatch delivers one of the strongest superhero stories in recent years, blending sharp writing, memorable characters, and stylish presentation. While the Switch 2 version runs smoothly and looks great, heavy visual censorship, limited interactivity, and a lack of player control over mission outcomes make it a compromised way to experience an otherwise excellent game.

Pathologic 3 is like a roller coaster ride that first tires you out, then disgusts you, but ultimately fills you with pure wonder. It's not a game for everyone. The main protagonist may not be a likable companion, but his fight against death is one of the solid stories you'll remember for a while.

Despite its vast content, the remaster is plagued by old and new bugs, crashes, and poor performance. Visual upgrades are minimal, and the controls remain as clunky as in the 2008 original. Instead of nostalgic joy, this game offers a prime example of a remaster done wrong.

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.
