Far Far West is a visually unique and fast-paced cooperative shooter that doesn’t take itself too seriously and aims primarily to provide uninterrupted fun. The combination of high-quality shooting, entertaining magic, and a structure that doesn’t penalize players for having limited free time creates a highly addictive mix. Sure, solo play isn’t anything to write home about, and the progression could use a slight speed boost, but those are minor flaws. Grab your colts (or magic cacti) and let’s go hunting! On horseback!

Blades of Fire may not be a perfectly polished gem, and at times its stubbornness when it comes to navigation and map-reading can be frustrating. However, if you give the game a chance and dive into its depths, it will reward you with a completely unique and addictive weapon-forging system and a raw, innovative combat system that never gets old. The relationship between the two main characters will tug at your heartstrings, and the joy of wielding a sword you forged yourself—one that wreaks havoc among the enemy ranks—is simply priceless. In my opinion, it’s a very well-made major title.

REPLACED is a triumph of audiovisual design and powerful storytelling that will make you reflect on what constitutes human identity. The experience is slightly marred by an uneven pace caused by tedious side quests, an overcomplicated combat system in the later stages of the game, and a harsh save system. But if you can overlook these design flaws and occasional technical glitches, you’re in for one of the most beautiful indie games of recent years.

Morbid Metal is an exceptional action game that I genuinely had a blast playing. The combat system, which combines adrenaline-fueled speed with dynamic character switching, is so addictive and visually stunning that it simply won’t let you walk away from the screen with a clear conscience. If you love the hack-and-slash genre and don’t mind discovering hidden gems, this game is definitely a must-have for your library. Just please keep in mind that this is Early Access—the game might be even better by the time it’s released!

Hades II is a phenomenon that proves lightning can strike the same spot twice—and the second time with even greater and more devastating spectacle. Although I initially had a bit of trouble getting used to the new, more methodical pace, and the damn collectible grind occasionally annoyed me, the overall experience is so stunning that any negatives quickly fade into the background. The developers have created an unforgettable adventure that honors its roots but isn’t afraid to take risks and add complex layers we never even dreamed of in the first game. Go play—the Underworld is waiting for you!

Flotsam takes the bleak theme of the post-apocalypse and transforms it into a colorful, hopeful, and creative voyage. It offers a unique combination of building strategy and survival, set in a fresh aquatic environment. Although it may suffer from repetitive gameplay and minor technical glitches in the later stages due to the city’s large scale, its relaxing gameplay and the satisfying feeling of cleaning up the ocean more than make up for it. For anyone who has ever dreamed of building their own world on the water and letting themselves drift with the current, this is a must-play.

As it stands, Jump Space is a diamond in the rough. It has an absolutely fantastic foundation, addictive gameplay, and cooperative mechanics that are among the best in the genre. If you have a group of friends who love sci-fi and don’t mind occasionally having to restart a mission due to a glitch, you’ll enjoy dozens of hours of great fun. However, if you’re looking for a perfectly polished product with endless content, you’d be better off waiting a little longer. For me personally, though, even at this stage, it’s one of the most interesting space experiences of the year, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the developers take it.

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is a fascinating trip down memory lane that will delight not only die-hard fans of the series but also all lovers of classic 2D platformers. It’s a game that should have been forgotten, but thanks to the developers’ care, it’s gotten a chance to shine. It offers fun mechanics, great humor, and gorgeous retro graphics. However, you should be aware that it also carries the quirks of its era, particularly in the form of a missing map and occasionally confusing navigation. If you can overlook these flaws, you’re in for about eight hours of pure, unadulterated fun with the most famous half-djinn in the gaming world.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is a perfectly solid shooter that will undoubtedly provide plenty of explosive fun for several weekend evenings. The integration of realistic vehicle physics into a zombie apocalypse is a very refreshing idea, and the legendary soundtrack is sure to delight any fan of 1980s movie classics. However, the game is undermined by an unnecessarily overcomplicated weapon upgrade system, occasional visual chaos, and a slight sense of monotony that inevitably sets in after a few hours. This title simply won’t reach the absolute pinnacle of the genre or revolutionize it, but if you’re looking for some lighthearted, gory action with fantastic B-movie charm, you definitely won’t go wrong with this trip to the infested swamps.

Ultimately, Pioneers of Pagonia is a high-quality return to the classic values of city-building strategy games, offering depth, variety, and—above all—the freedom to play by your own rules. It’s a game that doesn’t punish you for every mistake like harsh survival strategy games do, but instead rewards you for careful planning and optimizing logistics. Whether you’re a veteran of the genre or a newcomer looking for a gateway into the world of complex strategy games, this title will offer you dozens of hours of satisfying fun as you watch your economy flourish. Despite minor flaws, it’s one of the best experiences of its kind in recent years.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake: Destiny and Strategy Expansion Pack is a classic expansion. It introduces new features, scenarios, and improvements that deepen the game and make it better. However, it doesn’t fix the fundamental issues that drag the game down—namely, poor AI, a clunky UI, and repetitiveness. If you’re a fan of the series and enjoyed RTK8, this is a must-have that will give you dozens of extra hours of fun. But if you were expecting the game to transform into a modern strategic gem, you’ll be disappointed. It’s a step forward, but the goal is still a long way off.

Code Vein 2 isn’t exactly a bad game, but it’s a pointless one and, in many ways, worse than its predecessor—not to mention its outrageously inflated price. The open world hurts it, the technical quality is just above average, and the story fails to convey any emotion due to its cheap presentation. If you loved the first game and need another dose of anime vampires, it might be worth a try on sale. But if you’re expecting an evolution of the genre or a game that can hold its own against modern competition, you’ll be disappointed. It’s a mediocre title that will gather dust before you can say “Resurgence.”

Dynasty Warriors: Origins – Visions of Four Heroes is a prime example of what DLC should be like. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but takes what worked in the original game and gives us more of it—better and with a fresh new look. The alternate histories are entertaining and give prominence to characters who were previously just background figures or targets. New weapons and a strategic mode breathe new life into the gameplay, and the replay value is enormous (the campaigns can easily take over 12 hours to complete). If you enjoyed Origins, this expansion is a must-have. It’s a return to the battlefield that’s worth every minute and every penny.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is a game you’ll love and hate at the same time. It’s a beautiful, content-rich, and emotional farewell to the series that defined a generation. If you’re a fan who needs to stay in the world of Quirks a little longer, you have no choice—you have to play it. The emotions, the voice acting, and the cast of characters make it worth it. But if you’re looking for a well-balanced, technically polished fighting game and don’t have an emotional connection to My Hero Academia, stay away. The frustrating difficulty and technical glitches will ruin the experience for you. For me personally, though, despite all its flaws, it’s close to my heart—and I forgive its sins for that one moment when I could feel like a hero one last time.

Seafarer: The Ship Sim is the very definition of a mixed bag of an Early Access experience. It’s a game with enormous potential and a solid, addictive simulation core—the kind we’ve been waiting for for years. At the same time, however, it’s a technical mess that’s desperately under-optimized, riddled with bugs, and lacking in basic features and content. Fortunately, the developers are active and promise a robust roadmap of future updates, including new ships and cooperative multiplayer. Buying the game right now is therefore a gamble—an investment in the promise of something that could one day be great, but for now is just a beautiful, albeit leaky, wreck. Still, you can sail somewhere with it.

Rooftops & Alleys is an incredibly addictive but challenging game. The core gameplay—complex, skill-based parkour—is immensely satisfying once you overcome the high learning curve and clunky controls. Unfortunately, this excellent movement system is set in an empty world that offers almost no content or motivation for solo players to keep playing. The game is thus saved only by its surprisingly fun multiplayer mode, where chases with friends become the highlight of the experience. If you’re desperately looking for a new extreme sport and have a group of friends, Rooftops & Alleys can offer you a few fun evenings. Solo players, however, should look elsewhere. Above all, be prepared to put in plenty of hours of practice.

Heart of the Machine is a fascinating and immensely ambitious project that aims to revolutionize the 4X genre. It’s more like Crusader Kings with a cyberpunk twist than just another Civilization clone. It offers unprecedented freedom, complex systems, and an original gameplay loop filled with espionage, RPG elements, and management. Unfortunately, in its current form, it’s also a game that’s nearly unplayable for anyone unwilling to invest hours studying the manuals. It’s overwhelmed with details and lacks any meaningful tutorial. It has the potential to become a cult classic, but to do so, it still needs a lot of work to make its brilliant ideas more accessible. And that, unfortunately, is cyberreality. For fans of the genre, however, it’s a must-play.

Whiskerwood is one of the most promising titles in the building-strategy genre. Beneath its cute mouse-themed facade lies a surprisingly deep, complex, and ruthless simulator of colonial economics and logistics. A clever narrative framework centered on the fight against cat oppressors adds humor and strong motivation to the game, while sophisticated systems for production, population management, and vertical construction promise dozens of hours of strategic fun. Although the game is still in early access and needs some fine-tuning in terms of balance and optimization, it’s already clear that a title with enormous potential is taking shape here—and you can tell just by how perfectly playable it is right now, save for a few minor details. If you buy it now, you won’t regret it; if you want to wait, nothing bad will happen, but you’ll be missing out on a whole lot of cuteness.

Muv-Luv Alternative isn’t just a game—it’s an experience. It’s an emotional odyssey that will demand dozens of hours of preparation from you, only to then methodically and brutally tear you to pieces. It’s the crown jewel of a genre that defined modern sci-fi visual novels, and whose influence is still evident today in many other Japanese works. It’s imperfect and technically outdated, but in terms of story and emotion, it’s an absolutely phenomenal piece of work. It’s a story of despair, redemption, and love that transcends the boundaries of space and time. If you’re a fan of visual novels, you owe it to yourself to experience this. Just make sure to have tissues ready—even in 2025.

In my opinion, Farthest Frontier is a game of two faces. On one hand, it’s an incredibly deep and sophisticated economic and farming simulator that will thrill any fan of micromanagement. On the other hand, this brilliance is buried under a disastrous user interface and a boring progression system. It’s a game that rewards patience, but at the same time constantly tests it. If you’re willing to put up with the frustrating interface and take the time to learn the complex systems on your own, you’ll discover one of the most sophisticated survival city-builders on the market, where you’ll do absolutely everything and enjoy every single newborn and every building you construct. Everyone else will just wander around confused in the fog for dozens of hours.
