Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has always been a game with great ambitions. To bring back a good old series in modern way isn’t for everyone and yet Insomniac Games did everything right. The story of Ratchet and Clank is worthy of every single animated movie. It will take you on an engaging expedition to save the world through magnificent cut-scenes with professional voice-over. But unlike animated movies this adventure is there to be experienced. Gameplay follows the standards of action adventure and platform games and in many ways, it goes even beyond. The layout of action, slow story moments and logic is breathtaking and every single time you spend with Ratchet, Clank and Rivet will be the time you enjoy. Battles are still a little bit more chaotic and you have to take some time to get along with the aiming, but in the final judgment Rift Apart offers you an experience, which won’t leave you steady till the final battle no matter what. Planets are just wonderful as is the graphic and technological processing managed by console PlayStation 5. The next part isn’t trying to change anything in its core or to be something entirely new or different. It just wants to do the honor to the famous and beloved couple of heroes. And it does that damn well. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is one of the best games in its genre. That is something that can’t be changed by any smaller mistake. If you want an action adventure with platform attributes, you don’t have to search any further. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the world you are looking for. And a game with hardly any competitor of the same nature.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is not trying to be big, it does not try to pack its story into the parameters of a 100-hour game, but for that it managed to almost perfectly capture the meaning of the story adventure and add something to the top. A Plague Tale: Innocence could not leave us anything than a beautiful 9/10 with a story worth telling. It's a guaranteed adventure, which can surprise you with the fact that getting on one direct gameplay path is definitely not harmful when it is made with an emotion.

There is a really easy way to describe Control: absolute craziness. But craziness, from which you'll be enjoying every minute. Although Control doesn't bring anything preciously new, with its fascinating gameplay, comfort fighting and moving system flavoured with perfectly made abilities and really remarkable gunplay, it managed to get far behind any classical shootgame. In combination with well-written story Control creates recipe on a great and original experience and chaos that you will love and won't forget long after the game is over.

It Takes Two is an entirely different game from A Way Out. Not because of its genre, but because of the story and the way it approaches gameplay. It Takes Two is designed to be enjoyed by gamers and those who have never tried gaming ever before.

A Plague Tale: Requiem doesn't bring revolution or change but merely grinds what the first installment brought in 2019. While this may seem like a minus, Requiem handles all the leading aspects of an action-adventure game, dispatching brilliantly. The story unravels the further journey of siblings Amicia and Hugo, introduce entirely new characters, and subverts your stereotypical idea of how the story could continue, creating some great twists. The gameplay may be somewhat basic, and you won't find anything else in the game besides stealth, action, and exploration, but thanks to the excellent pacing, you won't even mind eliminating enemies silently or aloud; you'll enjoy solving puzzles and exploring locations both beautiful and hideous. Requiem also continues to use rats creatively, though with them come some ills that will sometimes cause frustration, and don't expect too many graphical options on the console. There are very few, and the game languishes in places with its 30 frames per second. The visuals and styling are breathtaking, though. A Plague Tale: Requiem thus proves that linear games can still be fun in 2022 and that you don't need a revolution to create a unique experience.

Persona 3 Reload is the remake that every game deserves. The title doesn't try to alter the game design frantically but instead carefully tweaks the audiovisual side of the game and slightly enriches its already unique gameplay. It offers an incredibly fun gameplay loop that even in the middle of the game comes up with new gameplay mechanics, and above all a great story and characters that you'll enjoy almost every dialogue with. While the game fails to eliminate all the oversteps of the original 2006 game, it mixes up as unique a recipe as you'll ever taste in the gaming world.

Split Fiction is one of the best co-op games in the industry. While its story isn't original, it uses it well and features an outstanding, dynamic duo of protagonists - Mio and Zoe. The gameplay is just as dynamic, blending genres and worlds with inventive cooperative mechanics. After A Way Out and It Takes Two, it's hard to find a better co-op experience, whether you're playing with a veteran or a complete beginner.

Running through sunny Washington from one mission to another and the content of which is almost no different from the first installment. That's not something every player would devour. On the other hand: the game full of action, rewards and content for dozens of hours is the right recipe for a good time. And The Division 2 has managed to show that its concept, which does not change in any way, can be improved and also that developers are able to prevent most mistakes made in the first game. Still you will be stranded on the crossroad to decide whether the second part of this endless fight is the right choice for you.

Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One is just the ideal detective game. The story has a meaning and even though the story feels a little bit extravagant due to its original way of narration you can’t simply leave the story untold. Characters including Sherlock and Jon are well-written and even though some character acts strangely or you just don’t like them, there is always some reason behind the behavior. The open-world is the game’s general pride, but it mostly feels empty despite having something to offer. On the other hand, the absence of map and navigation gives a gentle touch to its detective gameplay. Luckily, everything bad is suppressed by everything great the game has to offer. Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One is an example of how detective titles should be done.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is one of those expansions you want to play. The expansion tells a great story, an epilogue to the second installment. You'll grow to like the characters very quickly, but in the case of Seika, you'll notice that the relationship she builds with Aloy is very rushed, resulting in vague dialogues.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened combines a faithful remake of the 2007 game and a sequel that builds on the previous entry, Chapter One. The picturesque island is swapped for a horror setting inspired by the underworld, the occult, and, most importantly, H.P. Lovecraft, where a seemingly simple case is set and gradually unravels through the gameplay experience.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 delivers what we loved about the first installment. The story offers a spectacular narrative of familiar faces coming together to create the best video game story about a spider hero. We can't overlook the small effort to innovate and experiment with gameplay mechanics. Insomniac Games plays it safe and tries to please fans of all kinds. As a result, the game contains parts that will undoubtedly frustrate you, but that doesn't mean it will ruin the sequel's epic experience.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 restores hope in the franchise. Game studios Treyarch and Raven Software continue what the 2020 title Cold War started. With a story campaign that offers an absolutely brilliant level composition, while enriching it with excellent shooting dynamics and a new motion omnimovement system. The latter translates beautifully to the multiplayer, which of course could have done with some work on the new game modes, as well as the Zombies mode, which is repairing its reputation. This is simply good Call of Duty.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the fresh breath of originality and creativity that the video game industry needs. The title excels particularly in its narrative, which takes the stage for a new and complex world set in motion by a stunning audiovisual aspect. The combat system, which, due to the necessity of dodging and covering enemy wounds, will definitely annoy the player more than once, but will entertain him even more. While it's evident that this is an indie title, what one small studio can do is almost admirable. Despite all the criticisms, this was one of the best and most original games I've played.

Concrete Genie seems like an ordinary child game. And it is an ordinary child game. But deep inside you can find a story, which will touch your heart and mechanisms so original, you won't believe and action parts, that despite its really easy difficulty you will like. Still, Concrete Genie is not a game for everyone. If you don't mind recreating dark walls of Denska with your unique paintings over and over again, you'll fall for Concree Genie in any age. If you're looking in this indie game for its action potential, monotonous gameplay is simply something, you won't love in any way.

Studio Supermassive Games knows, how to make great story games. Unfortunately, what they once managed to do in Until Dawn, in Man of Medan fails upon its short game lenght, which does harm mainly to the main characters and dialogues. Otherwise beautiful variety of choice, dark horrifying atmosphere and the feeling of never-ending uncertainty hides behind technical issues, which constantly disturb impressive continuity of the story. Man of Medan thrives in bringing something new as perfectly-done multiplayer into the world of story-telling adventure games, but fails in ways, in which others excel.

LEGO DC Super-Villains finally did something, what most LEGO games couldn't - it brought us something new. Puzzles, minigames were always part of LEGO games but never in this particular way. In combination with so many playable anti-characters and their well-done skills, we finally get something, which at least seems like something we haven't tried before. On the other hand controls and the old-known mechanics, which you can find in almost every LEGO game, isn't something that's going to vanish from this super-villain world.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War managed to balance two sides of the weights: if you play Call of Duty because of the campaing, you'll be undoubtedly satisfied. Singleplayer brings inovations, that transform classical „run and gun“ missions to think-through spy operations, that looks on Call of Duty beautifully. It doesn't depend if you look on choices, decryption or investigative puzzles or plesant stealth. Cold War breaks the unfortunate old concept used by older parts. On the other hand multiplayer and zombie mode go in the other direction. Instead of changes and inovations we get gunplay, which is still fun, but not that fun. All the inovations that were brought with Modern Warfare don't work in cold war anymore. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War can be great part to the series. But in the same way it can be average. All stands on what you prefer better.
