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.

The game does a good job of creating a dark and mystical atmosphere. The story is good enough to keep you wanting to continue uncovering the secrets of Goldstone Island. However, the game doesn't really make you feel scared or have to fight for survival.

Become a clever octopus and save the marine world from a ruthless corporation. Your unique skills will definitely come in handy in this challenging platformer. On the one hand, the game is very fun, but it can also be frustrating at times.

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.

The game offers an original and thoughtful building simulator, which stands out especially for its emphasis on water management and active environment modification. Despite the absence of a story mode and occasional repetitiveness, it offers a deep and satisfying strategic experience.

A successful sequel to the comic book 2D retro beat 'em up action game will entertain you, but it could have been more extensive.

If you like the Heroes of Might and Magic series, Heroes of Science and Fiction is a great alternative. The similarity is no coincidence, but the authors did not just rely on the proven elements of the popular brand; they added their own ideas to achieve a very nice result.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a solid entry with an interesting expansion. It patches some flaws from the past, but adds some new like different casting choices, animations, slighty different structure and side activities. But it also adds new additions and deepens relations within the series.

Building a settlement in the mountainous environment of the Himalayas is more original and fun than in the last instalment of The Settlers. This unusual title focuses on building a settlement and even without combat it presents a challenging experience when faced with difficult conditions.

Set in World War I, the multiplayer action delivers a believable combat experience with authentic units, advanced destruction and the ability to dig trenches anywhere. Despite its minor shortcomings, it provides players with engaging gunfights and interesting content.

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.

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.

Highly accomplished tactical strategy game with a Viking theme, excelling in its atmosphere, dialogue, and cinematic cutscenes. 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.

The Voyager crew are highly motivated to return to their loved ones on Earth, and you are provided with the necessary tools to help them achieve this. 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.

Have you ever shovelled snow? Would you like to? It's cold outside and you don't want to freeze? Well, here's virtual snowmaking and clearing. However, it's not much fun: there's no sense of progression and better physics would be nice.

You won't hate "I Hate This Place", but you might actually like this survival game set in a spooky wilderness. It could have been more expansive, and certain aspects could have been improved, but it plays well.

Two iconic brands are joining forces. They are both well-known from TV and gaming. They are united in their fight against a common enemy. With the quartet from The Walking Dead, you can enjoy the action and revisit familiar locations.

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.

Android MIO has to clean up a spaceship full of dangerous machines. You'll sweat, but it's not in vain.

When Bravely Default launched, it was a very solid 3DS exclusive RPG with combat system taking a new approach. Its HD version show that this JRPG aged well and the better graphics enhances visual experience, astonishing atmosphere and great tactics. It is a double return – to FF roots and its own start with perfect Brave & Default moves.

The Book of Aaru entertains with a fair and challenging combat system and doesn’t disappoint with its diverse selection of enemies. It offers rogue-lite spiel for dozens of hours.

SpaceVenture finally arrives after more than a decade, but it feels trapped in the past. While it offers old-school adventure charm, absurd humor, and a few nostalgic ideas, outdated design, clumsy UI, short length, and aging jokes hold it back. A curiosity for fans of classic adventures, but a tough sell for modern players.

The Last Ninja is one of the most unique series of the '80s and '90s. It is now being revived in a retro collection. What's it like? It's stylish, but it's a bit too retro for today's gamers, and it could have done with something extra.

If you saw Avatar 3 at the cinema, the new game expansion will let you explore the events and a new tribe from a different perspective. While the expansion offers a solid story, the level design is weaker and the missions are repetitive.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is an interesting spin-off fulfilling dream of some players – what would happen if combat system turned real-time? It is more dynamic approach filled with a lot of options, vast Pokédex, but partially limited to one location only. Lumiose City is interesting half-way through but is missing some richness of different regions. But somehow, Z-A could be attractive for new players thanks to different pace and some fresh ideas.

This psychological horror will not only scare you, but it can also really mess with your mind and raise questions about the (un)safety of artificial intelligence.

Fort Oasis is a decaying nightmare where reality crumbles and waiting only for you. Come and be pleasantly scared and fight for survival.

Gloomy Eyes is a visually striking and atmospheric game featuring two cooperating characters and clever puzzles. Its story of outsiders finding their place in the world is charming and emotionally engaging, enhanced by Tim Burton–inspired design and music. However, technical issues and frequent bugs disrupt the experience, especially given the game's short length.

Finally, there's the option to sail the seas. Just watch out for pirates! The new naval story is fun, but short, but it adds variety to the original campaign. The naval battles are great. It's a shame, though, that they can't be inserted into a previously played campaign - you have to start a new one.

Nightdive Studios brings us another remaster of a classic. There's definitely no blood involved. Blood is still a great retro FPS, but the Refreshed Supply remaster is useless if you own any of the previous versions of the game.

The game has the ambition to combine a range of cars, different categories, licensed tracks, career, multiplayer, equipment and sounds into one package, but at least for now everything is unfinished and needs to be finalized.

Rennsport shows signs of a solid sim core, but its launch state holds it back — bugs, weak AI, and very little content for a full-price release. Crossplay and Hypercars are appealing, but not enough to offset the rough overall package.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers the kind of return the series deserved. Retro Studios stays true to the original formula while adding fresh ideas, stronger storytelling, and a smarter world design. It’s not a revolution and some technical limits show through, but in all essentials it excels — it’s tense, clever, atmospheric, and consistently fun. A confident proof that Metroid Prime still has plenty to say.

The game from the Czech Mirakar Studio brings some pretty cool entertainment in magical worlds full of rituals. And for a symbolic price.

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.

After two years, Football Manager 26 doesn’t quite justify the wait. Tech upgrades help, but the clunky new interface and technical issues hold it back. The core remains deep and addictive, yet the overall experience feels rougher—even if I still ended up investing plenty of hours.

One of the most interesting games of this year is free. You will enjoy it mainly in solo mode supplemented with online components. It will open up the rich world of Chinese martial arts for you.

Kirby Air Riders is surprisingly catchy racing title with different modes, vast gameplay and nice selection of tracks & riders. Several main modes are bringing lot of quality content a different way of playing. But the fun is always here, content amount is very solid and Kirby with his crew are welcome especially in the multiplayer selection.

Once Upon a Katamari keeps the series’ trademark charm and eccentric humor intact. Some old flaws remain — the clunky camera, minor grind, and brief loading pauses — but they’re easy to forgive. It’s quirky, joyful, and still one of the few games that can make you smile just by playing.

Long before Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption and Call of Juarez, we were immersed in the Wild West thanks to the video game Outlaws. It's now available in a solid remastered version. Unfortunately, the creators didn't fix the bugs that were present in the original game.

The Martians are attacking, it's your turn to save Earth. The aggressive aliens will challenge your tactical strategy, but they will win your sympathy.

Fast-pace combat, great tactic elements, vast maps and interesting ways to discover the past of the world are taking all players beyond. There is some repetition as usual in the Musou genre, but overall package is satisfying and worth a play. For newbies maybe even more as for the series’ veterans.

Kate Walker has undergone a rejuvenation treatment and returns to the beginning of her journey. She is as charming as ever, and the story is still engaging and entertaining.

Black Ops 7 takes the series into 2035 with high-tech gear, drones and fast, explosive combat. Its biggest swing is a co-op focused campaign built around hallucination-driven missions that constantly twist environments and tone. Zombies returns to classic round-based action with multiple modes, while multiplayer keeps the sharp, fast Black Ops feel, now boosted by futuristic abilities and expanded movement. It’s a bolder, less traditional entry that leans heavily into co-op and high-energy action rather than classic grounded storytelling.

Bloodlines 2 fails to capture the charm of the original. Gameplay is tedious and unengaging, and the attempt to revive the franchise feels unfinished. It survives, but leaves a lingering sense of what could have been.

The cult adventure series Simon the Sorcerer is back! But is there anything to get excited about? Not really. This bland, unsalted adventure game won't even make a dog bark in a few months.

The new racing game is visually pleasing and conceptually interesting, but with untuned gameplay. The idea of & 8203;& 8203;combining an arcade look with more serious simulation elements is nice, but the result feels unfinished.

The most realistic malfunctions and random events in the series bring the railway world to life. Railway fans will definitely not be disappointed. There are only occasional FPS drops and minor glitches.
