Another soulslike, in which it is difficult for great ideas to open up due to a mediocre plot, not the best combat system and boring rewards for exploring the world.

A fun action adventure game with a cool combat system and cute characters. Just do not quit the game immediately because of episodes with TVs. After the first chapter they get better and the combat system becomes much deeper, therefore there appears a desire to collect characters and upgrade them.

A nice 3D platformer - nothing outstanding or even original, but the evening you spend with it will not be the worst. It's a shame that the fixed camera spoils the impression.

A very pretty walking simulator with disappointingly shallow gameplay and no attempts to innovate.

A competent shooter in which not all ideas seem to be successfully implemented. But the foundation turned out to be very decent, and it is interesting see how the game will be supported in the future.

A fun turn-based tactics game about superheroes. It's not as beautiful as Midnight Suns, and its characters aren't as likable. But tons of puzzle-like levels where you are supposed to effectively use your team's strengths are very engaging.

A wonderful adventure inspired by 3D Super Mario games. It's full of secrets which are well hidden and are meant to be discovered without any help. And it looks gorgeous too.

A disappointing follow up where everything is the same as it was in Hellblade I or worse. Except for visuals, they look truly marvelous. If only everything else received the same treatment.

A fantastic metroidvania that will be remembered for a very long time due to its originality and the amount of mystery it contains.

Most of all, Stellar Blade surprises with the fact that it is the debut console project for the Shift Up studio. It looks and plays as if it was done by professionals with many years of experience. If they pay more attention to the plot and characters in the next projects, there will be nothing to complain about at all.

A fun and pretty puzzle game. Not among the best ones in this genre, but still well worth of your time.

A wonderful claymation adventure with an exciting plot that's not supposed to be played if you are in a hurry. It's slow and a bit lengthy, but every minute spent in it is worth it in the end.

Not the most original platformer, but still a fun and beautiful one.

Boring, repetitive and unfunny. We'd rather see no new South Park games than failures like this one.

A successful attempt by Team Ninja to make a game in an open world. Even though there is little innovation here, it is not boring to follow the story (and influence it) and fight in fierce battles for dozens of hours.

One of the best tactical games of recent years, the uniqueness of which is able to make even those who usually do not pay attention to this genre fall in love with the game.

As difficult as the previous game but more accessible, Expedition feels like a happy medium for the series. The developers didn't make the game significantly easier, but at the same time failures here don't feel as devastating as they did in SnowRunner.

A wonderful roguelike card game which twists poker rules in unexpected ways. It would seem that after Slay the Spire this genre won't be able to surprise in any way, but cool ideas from independent developers continue to appear.

Apart from a plot full of illogical moments, Infinite Wealth is easily the best game in the series – no other Yakuza has offered so much stuff to do. It's very interesting to see in what direction the series will move next and how much its scale will grow.

Prince of Persia is back, and it looks very fresh. One of the best Ubisoft titles in years and a fantastic metroidvania.
