Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is fantastic. Since I reviewed the game less than six months after its release, most of the issues had been ironed out, and aside from a few minor technical glitches that really got on my nerves, I didn’t encounter any problems. Amazing combat, great visuals, perfect audio, balanced hero stats, and solid character progression. Everyone is bound to enjoy this, even if it doesn’t get a perfect score, since there are a few flaws to be found in the game.

ABRISS – Build to Destroy isn’t strictly a simulator in the true sense of the word. I’d actually compare it most closely to Fireworks Mania. In this case, it’s one big visual nightmare for architects, who must tremble in horror as their creations plummet into the unknown. Nevertheless, the game is exactly what its description promises: a build-and-destroy game that forces you to use your brain to complete the destruction of your target.

Little Witch Nobeta is a wonderful, simple witchcraft game starring a little witch. The game lacks absolutely nothing, except for more stable keyboard controls. The visuals look fantastic, as do the soundtrack and voice acting—the only thing that bothers me about the audio is the little witch’s constant whining. Still, there’s one thing I’d like from Little Witch Nobeta: for there to be even more of it.

Scars Above is a high-quality survival sci-fi horror game that will completely draw you in. Its intuitive controls, perfect sound design, classic story, and very likable main character will appeal to just about anyone. Unfortunately, I can’t shake the feeling that the one thing that really drags the game down is the lack of a minimap. We’ll see if the developers add one in a future patch, but it doesn’t look likely at the moment.

Blood Bowl 3 is a turn-based sports strategy game that blows my mind. I love the visuals, character upgrades, cutscenes, and how great the AI is. Sometimes a player dies on the field, but that’s just American football in the Warhammer universe. What I still don’t get is pouring money into a game that will end up like Resident Evil Re:Verse—which I doubt anyone plays—but at least that one has stable servers.

The Settlers – New Allies is one huge disappointment. The remake of the old Settlers series has turned out terribly, and I may have been unnecessarily harsh in my review, but I don’t think there’s any other way to put it. The game handles very well, runs smoothly, and is packed with high-quality audiovisuals, but it’s just so, so lacking. Especially when it comes to the difficulty, which I think would be easy even for a preschooler. Not to mention that if the game is already falling apart, why is that tricky real-money store even working? If you’re looking for a strategy game that will make you sweat, analyze the situation, and think about your next move, you definitely won’t find it in this game.

RWBY: Arrowfell is a solid game. It’s a good game with a story that, while somewhat formulaic, is still engaging, and it offers a great adventure. The main characters are entertaining in their diversity, and each one manages to win over fans individually. Unfortunately, the game is severely let down by minor issues that, when they pile up, turn into problems not everyone wants to deal with—and which may deter potential players. For fans of 2D animated games, it’s an entertaining enough experience to keep you busy for a few hours, though it won’t exactly blow you away.

In my opinion, Distant Worlds 2 is an unfulfilled ambition. The game is great, well-designed, and offers nearly unlimited possibilities. However, if your preparation goes wrong, it will haunt you until the very end. Furthermore, the glaring lack of need for the player to control anything—except for the most minute management tasks—and the overwhelming complexity of the game’s building tables are terribly detrimental. Players unfamiliar with this genre will struggle, as they’ll never get the chance to even attempt to unlock the game’s full potential. At a price of just under forty-two euros, it’s also a hell of a lot of money for very little bang for your buck.

No More Heroes III is a mixed bag. It offers dynamic combat, great humor that isn’t afraid to poke fun at other pop culture franchises, and a perfect soundtrack. Unfortunately, the terribly botched PC port, overly complicated controls, and lackluster graphics do the game a huge disservice. Fans of the series will also get bored by the repetitiveness, which, fortunately, can always be spiced up with some entertaining side activities.

You’re playing at a real job—that’s how I’d sum it up. It’s not bad, certainly not. If you want to become a seasoned, wealthy shareholder one day, The Invisible Hand probably won’t help you achieve that as a game. The self-regulating market is perfect (though stock market activity is greatly simplified), as is the everyday hustle and bustle going on around you. Hundreds of millions rolling into your account—sure, why not. If you’re lucky, you can even make a billion in a single day, and that’s enough money to last ten lifetimes. But as a simulator, the game is missing something: all that life outside the office.

If you have half an hour and someone to play with, you can fire up the game anytime and it’ll always keep you entertained. It’s simple, fun, and funny. Unfortunately, it gets old quickly, and there are very few players online these days, so you have to wait a long time for multiplayer challenges—which is a huge problem. It’s clear that Tricky Towers is built primarily around multiplayer. However, that doesn’t work without players, and not even the cute little wizards stacking blocks can save the game from this glaring shortcoming today. Fortunately, the block-building gameplay will always have its place here, because literally everyone gets it.

Despite its minor flaws, One Piece Odyssey is a fantastic game. While it clearly has a specific target audience, it is precisely this group that will buy it, play it, and adore it. This doesn’t diminish its quality; on the contrary, it enhances it. Non-fans of the series will naturally feel more lost, and many things won’t make sense to them, which might even put them off. The repetitive combat certainly doesn’t help. However, the polished graphics, music, voice acting, and the simplicity of the battles are all appealing, not to mention the great story full of humor, friendship, and awesome one-liners.

Cryofall is a low-key, simple sci-fi survival game that turns you into a castaway à la Tom Hanks, with a fully open world ahead of you where you can do almost anything you set your mind to. While the multiplayer mode lacks players, you’ll still find opponents. Even so, I still maintain that it’s better to set up a local game and spend dozens of hours playing it.

Dealer's Life 2 is a simple pawnshop tycoon game that’s incredibly repetitive, lacks a story, and features completely unnecessary music. On PC, I’d say it’s downright unsuitable, but on mobile, it’s actually a pretty simple and fun game that’ll keep you entertained in your spare time. Otherwise, even with its gameplay and accessibility for all players, it’s pointless. It’s not the kind of game you’ll sit down to and spend dozens of hours enjoying the life of a pawnbroker.

Maybe I was too harsh on Expedition Zero, and the game really doesn’t deserve such a low rating. Unfortunately, it only kept me entertained for the time between breakfast and lunch; I didn’t even feel like eating, and all I could think about was the game’s wasted potential. It’s a shame, because the game offers plenty of survival elements, and the action isn’t entirely bad, even though there isn’t much of it. The gloomy atmosphere is well-established, but it lacks just about everything that could bring the game up to at least an average level.

Moonlighter is a charming pixel art game that offers a very unconventional take on the RPG genre. Sure, it’s great to run through procedurally generated dungeons or sell materials. The game has its ups and downs. Unfortunately, though, you’ll soon get tired of it all, and you’ll be left with nothing but tears in your eyes, because Moonlighter gets old just as quickly as it excites you.

Hammerting is an incredibly wasted opportunity for a high-quality simulator. Everything in the game feels like an unfinished idea. Why don’t the dwarves use their brains? Why do you have to manage every single element? It’s chaos—confusing, glowing, colorful, and hidden deep within a mountain—and it wouldn’t matter if it stayed buried there forever. Except for the music; I already have that on my playlist, because if I’m going to starve to death, I might as well do it in style.

Ankora: Lost Days is a very unique game that needs the right audience to fully appreciate it. It’s not an open-world adventure where you can do whatever you want, and the survival element takes a back seat to crafting, but the game has something that will win everyone over—stunning fairy-tale animation and a fantastic soundtrack. The Ankors are adorable, and the planet literally screams, “Explore me!” It’s just that the constant repetition of the same activities over and over again and wandering between locations really hurt the game.

If Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition weren’t a classic 2D game, I’d be blown away by it. It offers a perfect story, great music, easy controls, and a simple combat system, but its real highlights are its vibrant colors and flawless soundtrack. If you’re looking for about twenty hours of fun, this game is just for you—after all, you’ll fall in love with the heroes in a flash. The game doesn’t try to be anything more than it is and simply maintains the standard for its genre.

The combination of simple, colorful graphics, a captivating soundtrack, and a clear objective—reaching the helicopter—makes the game feel almost unnaturally smooth. Some might say that Project Winter can’t be a bad game, but unfortunately, the occasional hostility among players is something not everyone can get behind. However, if you have a group of friends and want to play with them, this is the perfect game, because you can troll each other and help one another for hours on end.
