    When I look back at this game, I know it won't win any GOTY awards but in my eyes, it's the most fun I've had in video gaming this year. The characters are great, the single-player campaign is great and the music and stages selection is amazing. A must have for Switch owners.

    Simply put, you are looking at the first next-gen game to come in 2020. Microsoft Flight Simulator is probably the most ambitious, grand and awe-inspiring game of the year - sometimes to it's own detriment.

    This is exactly how a video game should be made: Fun, exciting combat coupled with a good story and a great soundtrack to create one of the best games of the year.

    This PC port caps off what was undoubtedly a monumental year for PlayStation and Sony. This just the last of excellent ports that brought the PC gaming community into the PlayStation family and the quality and care Nixxes has put into those ports is displayed here as well.

    In a generation where we get remakes one after the other, it's hard to think of a remake that really reinvented itself to the point where it felt almost completely new. No longer do we need to look at Resident Evil 4 as a nostalgic memory, it is here, freshly new and almost any complaint I have on it is just a nitpick. One of the best remakes Capcom - and anyone else for that matter - ever did.

    The port has some bugs it needs ironing out prior to its release, but other than that, we're looking at a solid, well put up port for an amazing game that PC owners that didn't have a PlayStation console yet, should definitely try.

    For 15 years I have been waiting for this game, and to see it out and also be as good as I hoped it would be is simply incredible. The gameplay is sublime, the map design is great, the bosses are fun and the E.M.M.I are threatening. All these come together to create what possible is: The Nintendo Switch's 2021 game of the year.

    LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is the game that will reunite you with all of your favorite heroes, Each one with its own set of skills and abilities, each one with a part in the main storyline. Some technical bugs may occur, but it won't take away from this MARVELous experience.

    Hivebusters shows that even a 3-hour long experience can be a fun and fulfilling one, if done right. The Coalition just showed us that the Gears franchise is in very good hands.

    Stellar Blade seems to get the wrong reputation and marketing on the internet nowadays, what we have here is a marvel of current gen graphics and feature usage on the PS5 with gameplay and world that would appeal to Nier and Souls fans alike.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a game that delivers everything that it promised and so much more. Amazing gameplay, excellent game design, fantastic graphics and absolutely mind blowing soundtrack by Tee Lopes mark this game as another great success by DotEmu, and one of the best games of 2022.

    Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is an excellent 2D platform game that utilizes tight controls, amazing level design and great visuals to deliver an impressive experience to the player and a faithful port of the WiiU classic that you can play anywhere.

    This game was special and colorful 20 years ago and it is so now - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a renewed candy that will easily draw you into a unique and exciting adventure that includes a very good plot, great graphics and soundtrack and a fun and rewarding battle system. Honestly, it's a little distressing to remember the fact that Nintendo is asking for a full price tag for this game, even though it's a remaster of an existing and quite old game (it's even more strange when the Metroid remake is priced at only $40), but with the amount of investment and nice additions that came to this version, the pill feels easier to swallow.

    Sony's ports are back with a port that officially brings the entire The Last of Us series to PC, and it's hard to say it's not an exciting . The PC version of The Last of Us Part II is as much a celebration for fans of the brand as it is for those of us who are going to try this masterpiece for the first time, and it's therefore very difficult not to recommend it to anyone who wants to experience its journey.

    Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is another banger of a PC Port, with minimal bugs, great features and good performance. PC gamers just found their El Dorado (wrong game in the series, I know, but I stand by it!)

    Go play one of the most addicting Roguelite games in the last couple of years, and don't you dare say that the gaming industry lacks creativity and fun ideas. Much like in the beginning of 2023, the indie scene is outdoing itself.

    Crimson Desert is one of the most rewarding open-world games I’ve played in years, but it absolutely makes you work for that payoff. Its opening hours are rough, the story never fully comes together, and the UI, inventory management, and control scheme can be frustratingly clunky. Still, once the world opens up, the game becomes something special. Exploration feels meaningful, not like filler, and the best rewards often come from curiosity, detours, and preparation rather than simply following the main quest. Combat is flashy, deep, and incredibly satisfying against groups of enemies, even if some boss fights lean too hard into frustration. This is basically Pearl Abyss making a single-player Black Desert: mechanically rich, often messy, and far more interested in systems, movement, and discovery than in telling a compelling story. If you value exploration over narrative and can push through a bumpy start, Crimson Desert is an easy recommendation.

    This bundle is a huge celebration for fans of Mario, both new and old. These are 2 of the best 3D platforming games ever made, and is a huge recommendation for fans of the genre.

    Concrete Genie is visually stunning. the artwork is off the charts and was clearly meant to be the core interest of the game. As the player, you get to express your creativity in so many ways, and the game encourages you to do so. The gameplay itself can feel repetitive at times, and the backstory isn't as profound as i would except from such kind of a game. But even given those downsides, Concrete Genie is still a wonderful creation you should definitely check out.

    An incredible game by Thunder Lotus Games who managed to tackle one of life's greatest tragedies with amazing grace. The beautiful storytelling, combined with the slow paced gameplay simply benefit every part of this wonderful journey.

    Nintendo launched the Switch with an excellent Zelda game, and two and a half years later does it again with another incredible Zelda game. It has its shortcomings (specifically in the performance department) but it still shines as a great remake of the OG mobile Zelda.

    Pragmata is one of the most special games I've got to play in a long time, with one of the most unique gameplay mechanics I've had the pleasure of experiencing, and I'm glad Capcom is in such a good state to allow this type of games to be produced, I only hope it will do well to allow more experiments like this.

    I still can't believe I just played God of War 2018 on my PC. Not only that, it's a great port, with excellent performance, features like DLSS and FidelityFX and compatibility with a wide arrange of controllers. What a time to be a gamer.

    Tunic demands all of your attention to experience its world and mysteries as intended. Fortunately, with excellent world design, fun and diverse gameplay and extraordinary ways to keep you interested in what to come next, it truly deserves that investment and focus.

    After two very diverse works, Obsidian returns to their "bread and butter" with Avowed, an RPG with a taste of the past. Although in some areas the game feels too outdated, especially by today's standards, the studio brings diversity to a combat system that is simply outstanding, and with combination of brilliant writing and a world design that is full of secrets they make Avowed a amazing experience for all fans of the genre that I cannot recommend less.

    Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a great experience both for those who have played and want more and for those playing for the first time. It looks, feels, and sounds great but it's hard not to feel like it could have benefitted from a few more months in the oven to fix the loading times and the bosses that hardly challenges the player

    The best one in the series, one of the best JRPGs on the Nintendo Switch and one of the best games of 2022. The main Xenoblade Chronicles saga ends with a bang, or better yet, a beautiful melody.

    Ghost Of Tsushima is Sony's swan song, the perfect game to wrap up this generation and a line of amazing exclusives that came out for the PS4. It encourages exploration in a unique way, and tells a story about a man who has to stand against everything he was taught, and it's definitely one you wouldn't want to miss.

    This is a great version of a great game, with Iki Island giving players some more insight into Jin Sakai's life as a young samurai and give us amazing vistas to enjoy. All that - and they fixed the Japanese lip sync. Hallelujah.

    The year is 2025 and I get to say we're blessed to play Silksong right now after the long wait, it is very well made, looks amazing, plays well, and even if I didn't lose any rage playing it (yet), it is definitely far more challenging than it's predecessor.

    Morbid Metal is a promising debut with a combat system that earns real respect. Screen Juice has built something genuinely worthwhile here - a fast, expressive, multi-character action game that holds its own alongside its clear inspirations, even if it hasn't matched them yet. The roguelike structure introduces limitations that blunt some of that momentum, the bugs in the current build are disruptive in a system where precision matters most, and the story hasn't yet justified its ambitions. But the foundation is strong, and Ubisoft's decision to back this small German studio looks, at least so far, like one of the smarter calls they've made in a while. The full release could be something worth getting loud about. [Early Access Score = 65]

    RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an ambitious spin-off that brings the charm of RuneScape to the survival genre, set in the dragon-filled, mysterious continent of Ashenfall. In early access, it offers a compelling foundation with familiar skill systems, creative base-building, and innovative magic mechanics, but stumbles with a thin story, optimization issues, and clunky inventory management. [Early Access Score = 75]
