    Silent Hill 2 was shaping up to be a disappointment and somehow turned to be one of the best remakes I've ever played, this game is definitely here for fans of the original but most of all for new players to experience the iconic story of James Sunderland in search of his late wife.

    The world of Stray is truly immersive. It feels as if every little details has its purpose, and every part of the game has gone through a thoughtful process in order to provide the best experience for the players. Needless to say it is overloaded with cuteness even if you're not a cat person, and it surely makes your heart expand with its story and character relationships - even if they're silent. As far as indie games go, Stray is one of the best in its genre.

    Monster Hunter Wilds is probably the biggest game in the series so far, the world is bigger and always populated with monsters and the hunting system is refreshing and fun to learn, while being a good entry point to the series for new gamers.

    Not only did the Nintendo Switch finally get the Monster Hunter game it deserved - it might just got one of the best ones in the entire series. Great additions to the formula in a compact package. An outstanding work by the people at Capcom.

    I really don’t have a lot of bad things to say about Celeste by Matt Makes Games. The game tackles difficult topics with amazing grace that we usually don’t see in this media. The game itself is extremely challenging, fun and filled with a great sense of accomplishment.

    The best way to describe the new Battlefield 6 is to say: wow. The weapons feel great, the maps look great, the sound draws you in, and despite a forgettable campaign, the multiplayer modes, both classic and new, and the player-created game modes in Portal, are what really matter. If you're still on the fence about the new game in the series, let me say: now is your time to run and play. See you on the battlefield.

    Life is Strange: True Colors is, without a doubt, the best in the series in my opinion. After some disappointment with Deck Nine's previous work, True Colors has managed to win over my heart and for the first time in a long while, care for a narrative driven game like this one.

    Wanderstop joins the Hall of Fame of games like Spiritfarer, Disco Elysium, Unpacking, and many more as one of the best content games we've received in recent years, and the experience you'll get throughout it borders on a must-have for those of you looking for a slightly different and emotionally deep experience from your PC games.

    The Medium is an ambitious game, for a studio like Bloober Team, this would probably have been too big of a challenge to take on a few years ago. The studio took a different approach to their horror games and focused on the narrative and interesting mechanics to make for an amazing game.

    This game is full of quality, style, and screams "fun" at almost any given moment, and even though it's not exactly groundbreaking in terms of the systems it's built from, the execution of each of the elements that make up this great game is simply unusually impressive in its quality, making this game a hot recommendation for fans of the genre, and not only.

    The Outer Worlds is the Bethesda RPG you always wanted, but it's not made by Bethesda. This is one of the finest RPG experiences that let you take complete control of your storyline, and it's one hell of a ride.

    Please don't be fooled by the appearance and trailers for this game: It may have the appearance of a children's book, but its contents are more akin to Tolkien's The Silmarillion.

    Kirby did it again: Nintendo and HAL Labs gave us one of the best games in the Kirby franchise, with amazing visuals, great soundtrack and most importantly: incredible and fun gameplay. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is simply a must have for Switch owners.

    Black Myth: Wukong is a fine action game that takes a lot of notes from the Souls games but giving it it's own twist in the mix. the only thing that drags the fun down is the optimization issues this game faces on release but I hope Game Science keeps on working on the game, and may we see another game in this style in the future.

    Wrath of the Druids delivers a good reason to get back to Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It's story is much more focused than what we got in the base game, its activities offer plenty of satisfying loot and the new types of enemies are a breath of fresh air (or hallucinogenic fog). This is an expansion that does everything better, and while we're, once again, doing whatever some king wants us to do, i had fun with it.ֲ

    Games like Alan Wake 2 deserve to be celebrated. This game is doing a lot right, with stunning visuals, great story, amazing sound design and smart gameplay and puzzle loop. It's so heartwarming to see one of my favorite games growing up getting the sequel it deserves.

    This new collaboration between Ubisoft and Nintendo doesn't just strive to be a better game than its predecessor: It expands and builds on it's foundations amazingly to create on of the best games on the Nintendo Switch.

    Remember when games used to be all about fun? No weird and unnecessary story mode, no silly and over the top voice acting and dialog - just plain fun. Well, this is what Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 tried to accomplish. And wouldn't you know it - it succeeded marvelously.

    If you're a 2D platforming fan, loved Wario Land and the old Sonic games - this isn't a question of "if" you should play Pizza Tower - Its a question of "when".

    For those of you who have not experienced the game and are looking for the best way to play, there is no doubt that Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered is your answer. Even if the last time you played was 7 years ago on the PS4 version, I would tell you that this is an upgrade that is worth your time and money. This is a facelift that does a favor to the original game and improves its visibility in every way, just don't expect changes in gameplay or additional content.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the best Marvel games ever released. It has a deep original story that becomes personal with every choice you make , a combat system that may start slow but holds some of the best moments of teamwork and explosive action, and amazing graphics and soundtrack. If you’re a Marvel fan, this is a game you’ll enjoy.

    Rhythm Doctor is a rhythm game the industry should celebrate—bold, emotional, and uniquely tied to its medium. It challenges players to feel the beat, merging gameplay and storytelling in a way no other format could. With its clever one-button mechanic, a powerful level editor that fuels a creative community, fun two-player mode, and collaborations with top rhythm games, it delivers one of the most engaging and rewarding rhythm experiences in years.

    After three years of development, which were converted to 20 hours of playtime, The Evil Within 2 has totally unlocked its predecessor's potential. The wonderful story, the blood-freezing atmosphere, the big variety of horrific monsters and the great progress systems make The Evil Within 2 one of the best survival-horror games of the last few years. Indeed, the game is not bug-free, but those technical issues rarely happen and don't hurt the overall experience. If you like the genre (and particularly the previous title), The Evil Within 2 will be one of your best nightmares yet.

    2023 didn't really need a game that good. It was already a banger of a year for video games. But here we are, with Dave the Diver being one of the most fun, fulfilling, wholesome, and sometime downright beautiful games that came out this year.

    If two years is the time I had to wait to get a game with this much quality in it, so be it. TEKKEN 7 is one of the best games in the series, with an epic roster full of familiar and new characters, the best graphics in the franchise history and a dedicated and a pretty fun story mode. I'm a little disappointed by the lack of special modes such as the “Scenario Campaign” from the last game but that doesn't make the core gameplay less fun or engaging in any way. The PC port is superb and if you're a Fighting game or TEKKEN enthusiast, you should buy this game.

    Konami has pulled off a great collection here, filled with great GBA games (and a bonus one from the SNES), awesome new features and great presentation. I have very few gripes with this collection - it's a must-have for Castlevania and Metroidvania enthusiasts.

    A great new version of a great game. The graphical aspect of this remaster takes a backseat to some excellent additions to the gameplay, and nice bonuses for fans of the original PS4 classic.

    Street Fighter 6 has managed to single handedly change the series from being one of the most complex in the genre to having one of the most welcoming, fun and enjoyable fighting games ever made.

    While not the perfect JRPG, Octopath Traveler has too many merits and good qualities that it's impossible for me to not recommend it.

    This collection is the best and, in my opinion, only way you should experience Uncharted 4 and Uncharted The Lost Legacy. The enhancements are more than solid, and the jump from 30 to 60 (and even 120) FPS finally give it the edge it so desperately deserved.

    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]
