Of course, it has its flaws and shortcomings, and I already tried to address them above. But the massive vision it presents, along with its pure sense of adventure and freedom, is so powerful that it deserves to go down in history as one of the boldest and most spectacular games the industry has seen in recent years. Every player who wants to experience limitless freedom, chaos, and exploration should step into the continent of Pywel and experience this game for themselves.

If you have a group of three friends and want to experience PvP action in a retro-futuristic world, Marathon will likely provide plenty of enjoyable moments. However, if you’re expecting the same level of content richness we know from Halo and Destiny, then I don’t think Marathon is the right game for you.

Reanimal is a remarkably unique production in terms of creativity and horror design. Its outstanding art direction and striking visual vision will undoubtedly stay in my mind for a long time. Unfortunately, those are not the only things that will remain memorable about the game. If you are expecting a title from the former Little Nightmares team where every element works in harmony, the story steadily escalates, and the finale leaves you genuinely surprised, then in my opinion, this is not the game you are looking for.

Nioh 3 is not an entirely new product, but it delivers the cleanest and most refined version of everything its predecessors established. The game feels like a well-crafted culmination of all the experience Team Ninja has gained from Nioh, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Rise of the Ronin, and Ninja Gaiden. Although its open-world design occasionally becomes repetitive and the world itself can feel lifeless, the game manages to cover many of these shortcomings with its satisfying and deep combat mechanics, extensive build variety, and the Style Shift system. Nioh 3 also serves as another reminder of just how masterful Team Ninja is when it comes to creating action games.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 shows that the Call of Duty franchise is becoming increasingly lazy instead of truly innovating. Its use of AI-generated elements and the endgame mode added merely to stretch the campaign are some of the clearest examples of this approach. Relying heavily on the power of the brand name and the massive fanbase it has built over the years, the company chooses to play things extremely safe. A messy story, a bloated experience that barely feels like a proper single-player game, and a multiplayer mode that is enjoyable at best — that is ultimately the clearest summary of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

Dispatch is a fantastic game. With its masterfully written story, colorful cast of characters, and sharp sense of humor, it stands as one of the best interactive games made in recent years. If you’ve been missing this genre, it is absolutely a title you should try without a second thought.

Unless you are a huge fan of football games, I have to say that this is not a game worth its extremely high price tag. Electronic Arts continues to benefit from being the only developer producing a major high-budget football title on the market, but hopefully next year the company will pay closer attention to real players’ feedback and deliver a more polished and advanced experience.

Dying Light: The Beast is essentially a hybrid experience that borrows the mechanics of the second game while embracing the atmosphere of the first. By combining the strongest aspects of both titles, the developers have managed to create a solid overall package. In fact, the one thing almost nobody could criticize about the second game was its parkour mechanics, and those elements remain one of the biggest strengths here as well.

Silent Hill is truly a special franchise. Even though it has lost some of its popularity in recent years, it has always remained one of my favorite game series of all time. The resurgence that began with Silent Hill 2 looks set to continue with Silent Hill f as well. This is a game I would strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys psychological horror. At the same time, it also serves as a fantastic opportunity for players who drifted away from the series to finally return.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a genuinely strong title for players who have been longing for a proper survival horror experience. Its story may not be the element that stands out the most, but the game delivers a highly enjoyable experience through its atmosphere and gameplay design. In particular, it has been a long time since science fiction and horror were blended together with this level of quality and confidence.

FromSoftware steps outside its usual formula for the first time with Elden Ring Nightreign, clearly aiming to experiment with something different. Considering that this is the studio’s first major multiplayer-focused experience and that Hidetaka Miyazaki was not leading the project directly, I would say it is a fairly successful first attempt. That said, there is another important point to consider: the game is priced the same as Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. From that perspective, Nightreign does not even feel like it offers enough content to compete with a typical DLC expansion.

Dune: Awakening takes players on a story-driven journey through the Dune universe unlike anything experienced before. With its stunning atmosphere and intriguing narrative, it is an experience that MMORPG fans should absolutely give a chance to at least once.

Anyone who enjoyed playing Death Stranding will most likely enjoy Death Stranding 2: On the Beach as well. It offers roughly 50 hours of gameplay where you wander across mountains and landscapes, take in breathtaking scenery, and slowly follow the story along the way. Still, I cannot help but wish that Hideo Kojima would move away from some of his more eccentric ideas and return a little closer to his old style. Death Stranding has never really been a mainstream experience, but for players who know exactly what kind of game they are looking for, it remains something that absolutely deserves to be experienced.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 feels unlike almost any story-driven experience we have encountered in recent years. Its narrative is written with such originality and flow that you constantly find yourself unable to step away from the game, driven purely by the desire to discover what happens next.

Warhorse Studios has practically given major game studios a lesson in how an RPG should be made with Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. If you are looking for a grounded medieval European experience without flashy fantasy elements or over-the-top mechanics, this is a game that fully earns its price tag from beginning to end.

It is easily the most fun platforming PlayStation game I have played so far, and at the same time one of the very best games of this generation. What makes it even more impressive is how consistently it maintains that sense of enjoyment without letting the experience lose momentum for even a single moment.

With its story, atmosphere, and characters, Silent Hill 2 was a truly unforgettable experience. The fact that it remains so faithful to the original while losing none of the emotions and psychological weight that made it iconic proves exactly why this remake feels so special.

God of War Ragnarök is a magnificent sequel that successfully follows in the footsteps of the first game, refining and polishing nearly every aspect of the experience to deliver something even more impressive.

Black Myth: Wukong is easily one of the best-looking games of the current generation. It’s clear that the game takes full advantage of everything Unreal Engine 5 has to offer. The world design, armor sets, and character models all look absolutely stunning. While there are occasional issues with the lighting, they do little to diminish the game’s breathtaking visual spectacle.

The emotionally detached protagonist, combined with repetitive mission design throughout the experience, significantly diminished my overall enjoyment of the game. While there are enjoyable elements, particularly the ship mechanics and naval combat, it is disappointing to see a title that spent seven years in development reach players in such an unpolished and careless state.
