Could Gothic Remake be better? Of course. Fortunately, it turned out to be just good enough and I genuinely hope to see a remake of the next installment as well, because the developers at Alkimia Interactive have convinced me that they’re up to the task. By the time you’re listening to this review, I’m probably already playing through it again, this time joining a different camp. So all that’s left for me to do is recommend a visit to the Valley of Mines, more beautiful than ever before.

Playing Thick As Thieves felt more like interacting with an expanded demo or an early access title than a full release. One thing that deserves praise is that the developers communicate the available content in the store page quite clearly. Right now, however, it’s a game that offers very little.

Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred is a solid dose of great fun for many hours, finally delivering what we should have received at the base game’s launch.

The 5PM Studio game didn’t join the ranks of my favorite city-building and management games. That doesn’t mean MEMORIAPOLIS is a bad game, though, as it offers plenty of mechanics that can be appealing. There’s also a strong sense of replayability, and the challenges you must overcome to ensure your civilization survives are interesting. Still, the whole package isn't as polished as we would like it to be.

Peregrino had a decent idea behind itself, and unfortunately that’s where it ends. The game sorely lacks engaging content. The developers combined several average mechanics and stretched them to their limits just to somehow justify releasing the game as a full version. It's a shame and an example of wasted potential.

City Tales - Medieval Era is not only a truly successful debut from the small development team at Irregular Shapes but also one of the best city builders currently available on the market. The game pleasant audiovisual presentation gives it a fantastic, almost idyllic atmosphere, making the hours spent playing pass by completely unnoticed.

My journey with Godbreakers lasted for over a dozen hours, but, I actually finished the game in under ten. I had so much fun, that I kept fighting bosses and unlocking new cosmetic extras even after finishing the campaign. After a while, the lack of enemy variety and the limitations of the combat system started to wear on me, but I’ll happily return once an update drops. It’s an enjoyable and rather small title that could really benefit from more content.

It’s clear that the studio still hasn’t returned to the form it lost somewhere around the release of Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Their latest title feels like a work heavily inspired by the cult classic from 2015 but at the same time produced by the same team that screwed up the sequel. The lack of fresh, successful gameplay ideas is very noticeable here.

Lost Soul Aside doesn’t hold up in any other respect. Every additional hour with it was a dose of boredom and frustration, thanks to the dreadful camera work and the clunky controls of the main character, which lack any sense of physics. It’s just incredibly bland. It doesn’t do anything well enough to actually draw players in.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji is a huge disappointment. The map is practically identical, filled with the same activities we already know, and we run across it guided by a story that uses the very same motives and scenes we encountered in the base game. Is this an expansion aimed at the most die-hard fans of the series? Ubisoft — is that really all you’ve got?

Echoes of the End is a very ambitious but, unfortunately, very unpolished project. The combat and puzzles are decent, but ultimately not good enough to carry the sheer amount of them we get here. The story isn’t exactly gripping. The best part is the scenery, overflowing with Icelandic atmosphere. As a debut project, it’s a solid effort. If we get some technical improvements, Echoes of the End could be a pleasant mid-tier game for a few hours of enjoyable play.

Len’s Island is a highly digestible blend of survival, crafting, and action RPG. It offers considerable freedom, a picturesque world, numerous systems, and, at least for the first few hours, satisfying gameplay both solo and in co-op. Even if it didn’t win my heart I consider it a fairly interesting entry among recent indie sandbox games, proving that even in a flood of similar titles, something unique can be created. Playing solo, you’ll likely get bored quickly, but in a group, this title can provide many hours of engaging fun. After all, everything’s better with friends, even running around barefoot.

Dune: Awakening heavily relies on its well-known universe, offering very average, sometimes outright boring gameplay mechanics. If you’re not a fan of Frank Herbert’s world, you won’t find a captivating story here. Instead, you’ll get hours of traversing a monotonous desert while engaging in equally monotonous resource gathering, with resources constantly respawning in the same spots. Unfortunately, in Funcom’s production, I found nothing that would make me want to spend more time with it, so I cannot recommend it.
