Monster Train 2 isn't very beginner-friendly and doesn't lead you by the hand - you have to figure out a lot on your own. So your first few runs might not be the most exciting - when you're reading through every card, you'll waste a lot of time. But once you get a better grasp of everything, find interesting synergies, unlock bonus cards and start increasing the difficulty, it's hard to put down.

One of the best indie games of the year with tons of great features, from its unusual plot twists to its addictive gameplay.

RoadCraft successfully reimagines the MudRunner formula, for the most part. Instead of just transporting cargo, we now focus on restoring devastated locations, watching their transformation in real time. While some old frustrating mechanics have been replaced with new ones tied to convoys, there's hope that these can be relatively quickly addressed with patches.

A touching and eerie story about how a ray of light in the dark can truly change everything if used correctly.

A decent cop simulator that slightly lacks variety. Despite its flaws, you'll sometimes want to return to it to catch criminals and decide their fates.

A brilliant debut from the Sandfall Interactive, which leaves unforgettable impression and sets a new standard for jRPGs - even though the game itself wasn't made in Japan.

If the first episode deserves an 8/10 for its intriguing plot and quite interesting gameplay, the second episode did not meet all the expectations and deserves more like a 6/10. All in all, the game gets a 7/10. It's decent enough, but not comparable to the original Life is Strange.

A roguelike puzzle game that not only has the power to keep you hooked for days, but will create the whole subgenre and inspire indie developers for years to come.

As fantastic as the game looks, as outdated is the gameplay. But for the sake of the story one would agree to tolerate monotonous battles and simplistic combat system.

A great balance between staying true to the roots of the series and implementing new ideas. We've been waiting for Assassin's Creed in Japan for a long time, and the wait was worth it.

The best Two Point game, which managed to strike a perfect balance between day-to-day management and creative self-expression.

Long-time fans of the series will probably continue to resist the emergence of a full-fledged plot, and in some ways they will be right - if the narrative is not going anywhere, it would be better to make it more interesting next time. But there is complete order with the spectacle here - both in the scripted videos, and at their end, when you are left alone with a huge monster, and after the victory you create new armor from its scales.

A unique and fun spin-off that allows us to visit the beloved city from Infinite Wealth and feel like a real pirate – such an opportunity is very rare in modern video games.

It's hard to say for sure that the old Don't Nod from the Life is Strange days is back, but Lost Records seems like a good start to a heartwarming and memorable adventure. The first episode is dragged out and doesn't reveal the most important things, but there's a chance that the second will answer a lot of questions.

Keep Driving skillfully blends various genres without feeling either bloated or lacking. The game turned out to be one of February's most intriguing releases, especially considering we only knew about its launch a short while ago.

A carbon copy of Sniper Elite 5 - it's hard to shake the feeling that two and a half years later you're replaying a game you never intended to return to. I would really like to see a serious evolution of the series - even the once beloved features like X-Ray no longer grab you because at this point they're kinda boring.

A worthy remaster of a good JRPG. It didn't significantly update the game, but that wasn't really necessary – the story, characters, and deep battle system still make it one of the best in the series.

A great action game, the idea of which has been on the surface for a long time, but it has only just now seen the light of day. Marvel fans will be happy, and fans of the genre can try something new and fun, especially if they are tired of Overwatch.

A fun platformer with timeless gameplay. It will be fun for those who enjoy fast-paced games where you only stop occasionally to find secrets.
