Lego Horizon Adventures struggles to capture the interest of both child and adult players. The game world and story, originally designed for an older audience, remain too complex for young minds yet too shallow for adults. Although it aims to be accessible for all ages, even for those unfamiliar with Horizon, it ultimately feels unfocused and underwhelming. The quality doesn't measure up to past Lego titles, making it clear that it's the work of a different studio.

The latest chapter in the Dragon Age saga successfully combines the best of semi-open-world gameplay with a balanced and engaging combat system. While Dragon Age: The Veilguard falls short of previous installments in areas like side quests, story choices, and dialogue depth, it excels in combat quality, world design, and audiovisual presentation, delivering some of the most epic battles in the series. This game is a roller-coaster experience; at its peak, it entertained and amazed me, yet at times, its lack of depth dampened my enthusiasm.

With the arrival of Vessel of Hatred, Diablo IV seems to be a different and even better game than Diablo IV was after its release. While the story content feels underwhelming and short, the expansion shines in its gameplay improvements.The introduction of the new Spiritborn class, offering versatile and customizable playstyles, along with the Mercenaries, Kurast Undercity and Dark Citadel enhance the game significantly.

While Quidditch Champions successfully captures the magical atmosphere of the wizarding world, it falls short in several areas and feels somewhat incomplete. Hardcore Harry Potter fans who have long dreamed of mastering the broomstick sport may find joy in it, but the gameplay may not captivate all players or keep them engaged for long.

With only a small team of developers, Super Sly Fox has managed to create a modern filmmaking tycoon game that gives you all the tools to build your own successful film studio. However, the game lacks the depth to keep you glued to the director's chair for dozens of hours. Blockbuster Inc. is a beautiful ode to both the magical world of filmmaking and management games. But after a while, the game becomes very repetitive, lacks any real challenge, and fails to motivate players to continue creating new films.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is a game created by fans for fans. The team, consisting of modders and enthusiasts, aimed to bring Lara's original adventures into the modern world. However, the gameplay of these '90s gems has not aged well, and our impressions of them have been largely influenced by nostalgia. While the modern controls and graphical upgrades suggest that this is a contemporary game for a modern audience, it's more likely that the games will be primarily enjoyed by those nostalgic for the original titles.

While remastering a game 3,5 years after its release is hard to justify, The Last of Us Part II Remastered still offers one of the best videogame experiences that now comes with the perks that PlayStation 5 has to offer. Even though most of the changes are cosmetic and graphics-wise barely make a difference, the roguelike No Return Mode brings a new challenge that may be worth the price, especially as an upgrade for players who own the original game.

Burning Shores once again explores the theme of loneliness of a protagonist who must bear the fate of the entire world on her shoulders. However, the short gameplay of the DLC offers limited space for addressing the character's relationship issues. For fans of the series, Burning Shores offers a good excuse to return to the world filled with robotic monsters with a few new challenges. Nevertheless, the DLC fails to deliver a meaningful story and deeper character development that would make Burning Shores a must-play expansion for the players.

Terra Nil completely turned the concept of city bulider strategy on its head. Instead of building cities in it, you restore the ecosystem and you can relax incredibly.

The Chant not only fills a current hole in the horror action-adventure genre, but also manages to bring an original take on the genre thanks to the story and themes it opens up. The authors do not want to confirm or refute the effects of esotericism, but point out that in certain cases it is a double-edged sword.

While Hogwarts Legacy doesn't bring anyting new to the the open-world action RPG genre, it manages to captivate players with its incredibly detailed world and fun activites. The game feels more like a theme park ride and offers an incredibly magical experience rather than a deep story. The game is full of references and even reimaginations of scenes from the Harry Potter films. Those magical moments of flying on a hippogriff, seeing the sun set behind Hogwarts and snow falling from the ceiling in the Great Hall will be etched in your memory.

The Devil in Me could have been a decent detective story with unexpected twists. It could have been a dissection of the mind of a perverted killer or a social commentary on the obsession with serial killers. Supermassive Games could have played mind games with players in the tradition of The Dark Pictures anthology. And yet, they chose to create a bland mixture of horror tropes in an otherwise intriguing setting and with a pretty good atmosphere.

GWENT: Rogue Mage is an expansion suited for players who need new challenges, like to test their patience and improvise strategies. But because of a rather repetitive gameplay and disappointing story, it's a game that casual fans of Gwent can easily skip.

Stray delivers much more than just a cat simulator. With its touching story and a message about humanity, the game teaches us to never lose hope even in the darkest time and enjoy every moment just like any cat would.

While the game's narrative aspect is truly engaging, it's difficult to appreciate all the dialogue options and plot twists with so many flaws that plague Vampire: The Masquerade ' Swansong. With grotesque facial animations, clumsy exploration options, lots of bugs and a lacking introduction to the World of Darkness, Swansong is a game for die-hard fans who are tired of waiting for Bloodlines 2.

Polyarc has managed to once again captivate us with their story about a tiny mouse with the courage of a lion. With new gameplay mechanics and wonderful environments, the game will make you sit up from your chair. Not only to appreciate all the details, but because of the limitations of PS VR hardware that make tracking movement very tricky.

Catie in MeowmeowLand takes players on a surreal journey full of humor and absurd characters, set in a grotesque Kitty-Wonderland that would make Lewis Caroll raise his eyebrows. A true gem for cat-lovers and kids alike.

Horizon: Forbidden West builds on the solid foundations of Zero Dawn and does not only expand them, but stabilizes them by fixing a number of unnecessary shortcomings of the first game. Fixing some annoying mechanics, reworking combat, exploring and side quests are some of the positive changes that will be appreciated especially by players who have found the open world of Zero Dawn boring.

With new Chaos mechanics, Fatesworn not only delivers a final chapter to the story of the Fateless One, but shows that the game still has much to offer. The DLC however lacks the epic adventures of the original game.

With a huge amount of bugs and lack of strategic elements, CountryBalls Heroes not only makes political satire, but it also turned out to be a mere parody of Heroes of Might & Magic.
