Sons of Valhalla blends Viking themes with various genres, creating a unique and addictive game. The detailed pixel art and Norse mythology-inspired story add charm, though a repetitive horde mode and occasional frame drops slightly mar the game.

Pacific Drive offers a chance to take a beautiful vintage car to the forbidden Zone with a total of radiation and anomalies. Aside from the dangers, there's no avoiding the elaborate micromanagement on this trip, where every part of the car must be inspected, upgraded, and weaponized down to the smallest detail. Yet the driver's role is purely pacifist and collectible. Collecting resources is essential to continue on the road, as is crawling through every wreck. The atmosphere at this point is so thick it could be sliced, helped by the well-balanced audiovisual aspect, which is underlined by the fact that the authors have managed to create an authentic night in which you can't see a step. Charismatic characters, subtle humor, and an intriguing storyline all make this a dangerously addictive ride.

Skull and Bones appears to be a project pursued due to financial support rather than player demand. It borrows elements from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag but omits enjoyable features like swimming. The game reduces the player to controlling a ship in a superficial world, revealing its lackluster content once the initial gloss wears off.

The title, unlike others, shows an entirely different experience of war, which is not often presented to players. Instead of standing behind the visor of a machine gun, you will be standing over an operating bed. It's not entertainment for everyone and delivers a depressing experience more than anything else. This is added to by both the grey colors of the visuals and the music accentuating the sad atmosphere. Unfortunately, the latter is often too bland and sterile, even though it may seem like it belongs with Scalpel. The poorly designed UI and the absence of keys will make you shake your head that such a crucial thing was not detected by the testers earlier. More than having fun, you will suffer from the pathetic technical state and wonder how someone could waste such great potential with not only an uninteresting story.

Ready or Not manages to make the difficult job of the SWAT team as close and realistic as possible, and more so than anyone has ever done before. If you've enjoyed the SWAT game series, don't hesitate to buy it. This worthy spiritual successor will delight not only the eyes but also the ears with its attention to detail. There will be slight flaws, such as the autonomy of your colleagues, but you can avoid these with your friends in cooperation. The accuracy of your enemies is also unbalanced, and the full version suffers from poor optimization. Aside from these birth pangs, this is a top-notch affair that shouldn't be missed, and not just by hardcore shooter enthusiasts.

Bzzzt is an exceptional title, and this is underlined by its impeccably crafted audiovisual design, creativity, imagination, and replayability. The game is made with a love for the craft that is becoming increasingly lacking in most games. This game is a hallmark of excellence.

The Forza Motorsport journey has come a long way, and it returns with slight innovations in the eighth installment. Sadly, however, there aren't that many, and more than a reboot, I wouldn't be shy to label it as an improvement on the seventh installment. While it's the most accessible sim, before it can teach new players more realistic driving, it overwhelms them with powerful assists. However, fans of the series will enjoy the game, especially if they play it with friends.

Gord is a beautiful adventure strategy game and proof that even developers from bigger studios can start a small team and make a great game. If you like Slavic mythology, you will enjoy it to the fullest. There are plenty of visually colorful monsters, but also demons. The story is engaging, although the ending is a little too open-ended. The characters seem to have fallen out of Sapkowski's pen. Sound-wise, but also musically, the title excels. The sung Polish songs are a caress to the soul. However, the lack of Polish dubbing and multiplayer is disappointing. Not to mention that this is one of the few games in which even children can die for the greater good!

Dredge is a unique experience and not only for fishermen. You'll be engulfed by the perfect balance of atmosphere, which is so thick it could be sliced at times. The story's ending isn't hilarious, and you're forced to grind slightly to fully upgrade your boat and abilities. The imaginative minigames and the smooth dispensing of new skills or upgrades will keep you with the game and not let go. It's easy to forget how to use basic abilities. The controls are intuitive, and you will unlikely encounter glitches or errors. If you try the title, you'll most likely never let go and get more out of it than you initially expected.

LEGO 2K Drive is a failed spiritual sequel to LEGO Racers. You'll have fun, provided you're unpretentious and don't mind the repetitiveness and limited number of races you must repeatedly win to play out the story. If you play as a parent with a child, you can have an enjoyable time together. However, the absence of sharing your own creations among other players or racing with them in multiplayer is disappointing. Hardly anyone plays the multiplayer game, and local multiplayer in a split-screen is currently unplayable. The title offers nice graphics in a LEGO world style, imaginative power-ups, and car models but hides most of them behind microtransactions.
