Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a well-crafted DLC where everything runs smoothly. While there aren’t many new features, they’re entertainingly blended with what we know from the base game, so the action flows beautifully. Combat and exploration haven’t lost any of their appeal, and the adventure with Seyka is equally engaging. As players, you’ll get another expansion of this beautiful world where you’ll definitely never get bored—and that’s an offer you can’t refuse.

As a 2D underwater horror game, SILT stands out for its stylization, which is great, but there’s nothing deeper behind it. The soundtrack doesn’t help the atmosphere; it’s rather lackluster. Controlling the fish and navigating the environment are nice elements that carry the game throughout. Thanks to its short three-hour runtime, the game stays fresh until the end, which you’ll undoubtedly forget very soon and never think of again—yet you won’t regret playing it.

Hogwarts Legacy presents itself as an RPG set in the Harry Potter universe. In reality, however, it’s just a generic open-world game with nothing original to offer, and without its connection to this famous franchise, no one would have given it a second glance a week after release. At times, this adventure can be entertaining, especially in the first half. But the lifeless world, the bland protagonist, and the boring quests will eventually wear you down. It could have turned out much worse, but we’ll still have to wait a while for a well-made RPG from the Wizarding World. Hogwarts Legacy squanders most of its potential and, in the end, offers only a very uninteresting facade.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a remake of a 2.5D platformer that’s over a decade old; despite some nice additions, you can tell it’s showing its age. It doesn’t particularly excel in any one aspect, but at the same time, it manages to stay at least slightly above average in every one. It’s an experience better suited for co-op play and younger players, who will likely be much more enthusiastic about the game. Technically, it could be polished a bit more, but it’s by no means a disaster. Recommended with caution, as there are higher-quality titles in the same genre.

Pentiment is a delightful RPG adventure with stunning visuals, though it occasionally suffers from being a bit too chatty and sometimes struggles to strike the right balance in how much control to give the player. At its core, however, it is a rather exceptional title that will undoubtedly appeal to many players, provided they don’t mind doing a bit of reading while playing and aren’t put off by a bit of “meticulous” work. The game features plenty of interesting characters who will guide you nicely through the story, and the clever time mechanics keep the tension high from start to finish.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a well-crafted game that strives to take everything from its predecessor a step further. It succeeds in telling a compelling story, features beautiful environments, and has an immersive atmosphere. However, the gameplay suffers in places and is incredibly clunky. Design flaws and occasional forced padding don’t help the game either. Still, the positives outweigh the negatives, and fans of the first game won’t be disappointed. Just don’t expect a top-tier AAA title, because this rat adventure unfortunately doesn’t belong in that league.

Following the success of Dishonored, the developers at Arkane slightly updated their proven formula and incorporated it into an original take on roguelike gameplay. In terms of gameplay, you won’t find anything entirely new here—just the same incredibly fun combat/stealth system. Blackreef is a joy to explore, and the desire to uncover everything will carry you to the end without the slightest difficulty. The developers could perhaps have been a bit bolder and overhauled the gameplay more, and they could have toned down the linearity as well. But why complain when Deathloop works so well?

Inscryption is a mysterious card game that surprises you in every possible way. Its dark story transforms the game several times as the player tries to unravel the mysteries surrounding it. While the gameplay isn’t exactly groundbreaking, it never gets boring for a single moment. The entertaining gameplay, original story, and setting, combined with a dense atmosphere, create an experience that stands out from the vast majority of games on the market.

Spiritfarer is a game with a unique concept in which you become a ferryman for souls in the form of cute animals on their final journey, helping them come to terms with their past and find inner peace. Saying a final goodbye to these endearing characters gives the game a deeper dimension and offers a perspective on death that players don’t usually encounter. Add to that a highly engaging gameplay loop in the form of a management simulator, all presented in fairy-tale-like 2D graphics. The result is an amazing experience with just a few minor flaws. Anyone looking for a deeper gaming experience should give Spiritfarer a chance. It’s definitely worth it.

At its core, Wytchwood is a well-crafted game whose world is both beautiful and terrifying. The entire game is visually stunning and, at least on PC, technically flawless. The gameplay is incredibly engaging, especially in the first few hours. Something interesting awaits around every corner, whether it’s a character, a location, or a quest. Unfortunately, in its second half, the game devolves into a tedious repetition of mundane tasks and offers players nothing new beyond the story, which, however, fails to compensate for the tedious gameplay. The result is a title that is certainly worth checking out, but you’ll need to consider how many times you’re willing to repeat the same activity over and over for the sake of a bit of story.

Unpacking is a delightful little game that is, at its core, quite simple, yet also very compelling and engaging. Its simple but effective gameplay, combined with appealing visuals, makes for a game that’s a joy to spend an evening or two playing. The developers thought of every detail and managed to transform a boring activity on paper into an entertaining experience that can tug at your heartstrings and perhaps even make you think a little. It has its minor flaws and isn’t a game for everyone. However, it definitely shouldn’t be overlooked, as it’s a creation that’s as unique as it is well-crafted.
