Station to Station is a relaxing, laid-back game that’s accessible and playable by absolutely everyone. If you don’t want to complete challenges, you don’t have to—you can play it without challenges or in-game currency. I have to say, the game features absolutely stunning voxel graphics that will make you pause for a moment and take a closer look at what’s happening around your little train.

Fort Solis offers players an intriguing story that builds tension perfectly right from the start, but before you know it, it’s all over. The game won’t take you more than four hours to complete, and that’s only because of the incredibly slow walking speed. However, all the actors and voice actors deliver incredible performances. I’d especially like to highlight the performance of one of the lead actors, Roger Clark, who plays Dr. Wyatt. The game’s optimization is still lacking, which is quite a shame. I definitely recommend playing this game, but wait until it goes on sale.

Alone in the Dark is the pioneer of the survival horror genre and, for many gamers who grew up in the ’90s, it’s a real treat for the soul. Any fan of the Resident Evil or Silent Hill series shouldn’t miss this first installment. If you’re an older gamer, I’m sure you’ll enjoy reminiscing—just like I do—about how this game terrified you not with the number of enemies or frantic action, but rather with its intense atmosphere. In this game, you actually had to think your way through to avoid getting stuck. For today’s players, it’s more of a relic of its time. If you’ve beaten the game, it’s clear that you’re among the genre’s veterans or connoisseurs.

Impaler is a totally addictive retro shooter that subtly pushes you to be the best and constantly try new tactics. I have to admit, it’s a lot of fun to watch the monsters slowly slide down the spikes after being impaled or fly through the air after a barrel explodes (unless, of course, they’ve been blown to bits). The game has a super simple concept that’s just plain fun. Plus, it’s a lot of fun for just a few bucks—you can get the game for less than three euros, and it’s definitely worth it. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

If you’ve ever played Return of Obra Dinn, like I have, you’re sure to enjoy this game as well. You’ll put your detective skills to the test as you search for even the tiniest clues and uncover various connections between characters. It’s just plain fun to put your brain to work. The developers at Color Grey Games have done a really good job. The Case of the Golden Idol is an interesting and entertaining game with a surprising story, which I definitely recommend to fans of the detective genre.

Personally, I appreciate that Above Snakes isn’t extremely difficult, which gives me the chance to enjoy the game at my own pace—whether it’s building, crafting, or progressing through the story. The game is fast-paced and has a nice visual style. Sometimes you have to search a bit longer for resources, but it’s still a lot of fun. I really enjoyed customizing the map to my liking and creating large lakes or dense forests. The story is interesting, though perhaps a bit drawn out toward the end.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an interesting game, visually very well done. It’s definitely quite brutal when it comes to killing the survivors. I like that the game allows players to communicate with each other. The problem for me personally, however, is its high price and the imbalance between the family (which clearly has the upper hand) and the victims. I definitely appreciate the concept, the execution, and the inspiration drawn from the movie that the developers tried to bring to the game. However, I’m not sure if that will be enough to keep the game from slowly dying out in a few months, just like Friday the 13th: The Game.

The game Liberté has a good concept and premise. Unfortunately, after playing for a few hours, it becomes repetitive and feels like it’s on a loop. I felt a bit like I was in the movie Groundhog Day. The game feels unfinished to me and is full of technical issues. I hope the developers at Superstatic will release a patch to fix these issues and add some extra maps. For me personally, the game is quite a disappointment.

If I had to sum up this unconventional installment, I’d have to say I’m thrilled. The game is entertaining, whether it’s the conversations between characters or the tactical battles. I’m not a Persona expert—I’m personally more familiar with the Disgaea series—so tactical battles weren’t entirely new to me. I can say that even complete beginners can handle it without any problems on the lower difficulty settings. The game isn’t very long; it’ll take you around thirty hours to finish. Plus, the music is the icing on the cake. The only things I’d criticize about this title are the limited variety of enemies (the fact that they just change their outfits doesn’t count as variety) and the price of the game. It definitely could be a euro or so cheaper.

As far as I’m concerned, Dark Envoy is a very well-made game. It offers countless ways to make decisions and steer the story in different directions. There’s a pretty nice selection of characters and classes. This lets you build a party that perfectly matches your preferences and needs. Add to that the beautiful graphics for both the environments and the characters. Throw in a bit of humor between the siblings, and you’ve got at least twenty hours of entertainment—which isn’t bad at all. Even so, there’s definitely room for improvement, and I firmly believe that the developers at Event Horizon will do something about it.

To me, Noel the Mortal Fate is more of an interactive anime focused on storytelling than a game per se. The whole thing feels like a classic anime. It features the power of friendship, comically awkward conversations between Noel and Caron (she constantly calls him a “bird” because of his raven-like head), enemies who eventually become our allies, and so on. As an anime lover, I definitely enjoyed it. Each season brings new information, characters, a major battle, and an unexpected twist. If you’re also a big fan of anime games, definitely don’t hesitate—go all in on this game.

If you enjoyed the first game, you should definitely play the second one as well. If you haven’t played this game yet, try the first one first and then decide whether to buy Forgive Me Father 2. If you’re a fan of Lovecraft and shooters like *Doom*, you’ll have a blast here—at least for a few hours. The game is colorful, entertaining, dark, and horror-filled. So let’s dive back into the world of madness together and see what the developers have in store for us in the future. It’s sure to be worth it.

To me, Unholy is definitely not a horror game. Although the setting looks great, neither the story nor the atmosphere managed to draw me into the plot. The main character is kind of bland, and on top of that, there’s the glitchy environment, cutscenes, stealth mechanics, poor optimization, and more. The game could have great potential if it were polished to the same degree as its environment.

I definitely think that kids and Paw Patrol fans will be incredibly excited. The beautifully designed locations and characters, the freedom to move around the world, and the large number of tasks will definitely keep them entertained for several long hours. Older kids, however, might start to get a little bored after a while. I personally liked the game, but the voice acting and camera work really got on my nerves at times. It would be great if the developers added Czech subtitles.

I have to admit that the game was a bit of a challenge for me at first, until I figured out how the mechanics and cards worked overall. Since I love the Lovecraftian universe and books in general, I ended up really enjoying Book of Hours. Figuring out new recipes and discovering new books kept me engrossed for hours at a time. If you liked Cultist Simulator, you definitely shouldn’t overlook this title either.

The story of Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical itself, as well as its characters, are superbly written. You can immediately form a connection with them—whether positive or negative—which, of course, changes as the game progresses based on the information you uncover. Although the game may seem quite fantastical, it tackles serious life themes such as death and survival, as well as the anxiety, depression, and fears of some of the characters. Everyone will find a song here that they’ll never be able to get out of their head. The voice acting is amazing and breathes life into the characters. Add in some romance and multiple possible endings, and you’ve got entertainment for a few days. I definitely recommend giving this game a try—it’s not just some run-of-the-mill visual novel.

I have to say, Ad Infinitum really surprised me. A horror game set in the trenches of World War I is something incredibly intriguing. It reminded me of an old classic called NecroVision. What scared me the most in the game were my own footsteps and the wind howling through the trenches. Sometimes I’d hum along to the record player to help me push through Paul’s nightmares. A few of the great jump scares nearly gave me a heart attack. I definitely recommend this original game to you.

Red Line by Rolling Cat Studio definitely offers a unique blend of horror, puzzle-solving, and storytelling. If you prefer atmospheric experiences and story-driven gameplay, this game is perfect for you, so don’t hesitate to give it a try. Personally, I was really drawn to this psychological horror game with its immersive narrative and beautiful pixel art, which is why I’m more than happy to recommend it to others.

Pets Hotel definitely has potential, but for me personally, it feels slower-paced than other simulation games. Add to that a lengthy tutorial and repetitive challenges, and after a few hours, you’ll surely start to get bored, just like I did. Unfortunately, not even the cute animal animations can save the game. It would definitely benefit from a story mode, because otherwise it will only keep you entertained for a weekend or two.

Lunacy: Saint Rhodes is an enjoyable short horror game with a chilling story about one unfortunate family. The game offers two different endings, so you have the chance to find all the diary entries and photos of the Rhodes family members. I definitely recommend this game for its graphics and sound design, its story, and some truly terrifying jump scares. If you enjoy horror games, puzzles, and mysterious stories, you definitely shouldn’t miss this title.
