I would definitely recommend DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS to fans of the series, because they’ll appreciate the game much more than someone who doesn’t know what Dragon Ball is all about. However, the developers also took into account that their game doesn’t have to be just for fans of the universe. Thanks to this, DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a new, fun cooperative game, as this project doesn’t require any prior knowledge of the series. If you have seven friends who love Dragon Ball and can jump in with you, you’re all set. Unfortunately, the lack of crossplay and communication between players does reduce the game’s appeal. It doesn’t help that you can’t kick toxic players out. At the same time, some people might not like that this game relies on a gacha system.

Indoorlands is undoubtedly a unique take on the tycoon genre; you can build your own indoor amusement park and manage it effectively. With its user-friendly interface and gameplay, it’s a game suitable even for beginners to the genre. As with other tycoon games, however, you should expect a certain level of simplicity here, which will likely only entertain you until you’ve tried all the attractions. Although a few bugs cropped up during gameplay, it’s still a game that’s definitely entertaining and serves as a great starting point if you want to move on to more complex tycoon games.

Overall, the game world is well-developed, offering a wide variety of melee and ranged weapons, plenty of crafting materials, and loot. This is truly a solid, old-school RPG with a wealth of side quests and an engaging main story featuring two different endings. Also worth mentioning is the diverse range of enemies, each with their own specific attacks and movements. Despite certain shortcomings in the AI and some technical rough edges, Seven: Enhanced Edition is a well-made stealth title that is definitely worth checking out.

Expeditions: Rome builds on the reputation of a great series, but raises the bar even higher. The game’s story is set in the historical setting of ancient Rome, and it makes excellent use of this to its advantage. At the same time, you can influence the course of history based on your actions and conversations. It’s a very well-executed combination of RPG and tactical strategy, with beautiful graphics. I encountered a few occasional graphical glitches while playing, but they weren’t significant enough to affect the overall enjoyment of the game. It’s clear that the developers really put a lot of effort into this game.

Intravenous is a precise, tactical stealth shooter with an isometric perspective that clearly pays homage to the early Splinter Cell games. If you enjoy solid stealth gameplay and working with lighting, but also want a bit of a challenge, this game is definitely for you.

Stories Untold is a fascinating return to the good old days of text-based adventure games. It’s an intriguing experiment that starts off strong and draws you into a mysterious world full of puzzles, but ends with a rude awakening. The puzzles and the atmosphere as you solve them will literally consume you, which is also the game’s main draw. On the other hand, the conclusion in the fourth episode—in the form of a walking simulator—was a huge disappointment for me, especially since it was the final episode. Unfortunately, the story is rather bland, and at a certain point, you’re really only playing because you enjoy solving the puzzles, even though you can already guess how the story will end.

Lost Judgment is a fantastic sequel to the first game, once again putting you in the shoes of the suave private detective Takayuki Yagami. Compared to the previous game, the story offers a far more sophisticated plot and storyline that will make you feel like you’re in the middle of a first-class Japanese thriller. Thanks to refined gameplay and even better combat mechanics, along with the addition of side stories, the game clearly stands out from the Yakuza series even more than the first installment.

Unfortunately, Blood Rage: Digital Edition doesn’t quite live up to the quality of its board game counterpart. The game’s core mechanics work well, and at its core, it does offer some of what the board game version provides. However, the graphics are quite lackluster at certain stages and moments, and the user interface can be a bit of a struggle. The original version is undoubtedly one of the best board games on the market, but the digital adaptation is riddled with bugs and, above all, poor design choices. You’ll only truly enjoy the game if you have a great deal of patience or are a die-hard gamer who wants to play against the AI.

Ancestors Legacy is an enjoyable game set during the Golden Age of the Vikings. It’s an RTS that borrows mechanics from Company of Heroes and tries to use them to its advantage, which it manages to do quite well. However, aside from certain elements and the game’s setting, it lacks true originality, and in some respects, you’ll feel like something is missing. This is especially true since, in some sections, you’re playing more of a story-driven stealth strategy game and are largely limited by assigned units for most of the time. It’s definitely not a game that isn’t worth trying, though, and fans of this genre will surely enjoy it.

Judgment is a very well-done port that didn’t disappoint and is truly impressive. While playing, I didn’t encounter any optimization issues, crashes, or anything like that. Visually, the game is truly appealing and full of detail. The only thing I could criticize regarding the port and controls is an occasional issue with the controls when playing with a keyboard and mouse. However, this doesn’t happen frequently—only in certain situations—and all you need to do is move slightly to realign the camera and character as needed. Yagami’s story, the game’s execution, pacing, and concept are definitely worth overlooking this minor flaw. In return, you’ll get fantastic entertainment from the world of Yakuza, which will pull you into its clutches and won’t let go.

Insurgency: Sandstorm is a well-crafted PvP tactical shooter that holds its own against the big titles in the genre. Unlike them, however, it places a strong emphasis on atmosphere and tactical thinking. It’s more of a hardcore multiplayer shooter built on clearly defined gameplay principles, mechanics, modes, and maps. However, this isn’t a game for everyone—if you’re looking for an arena shooter with nonstop shooting, running, and jumping, you won’t find it here. On the contrary, it’s important to think through every move you make, and it’s also wise to carefully plan your gear and the strategy you’ll use to take down your opponents.

Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2 is a highly polished action RPG with roguelike elements. As a sequel to the first game, it does an excellent job of incorporating Lovecraft’s legacy and the Cthulhu Mythos. The game features six playable characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as special abilities, unique gear, weapons, and items. You can change the characters’ gear, which immediately affects their visual style and stats. The game features procedurally generated locations, making every playthrough unique, including enemy placement. This aspect adds to the game’s replayability, thanks in part to the excellent graphics, which combine a hand-drawn and comic book style. Taking down a diverse horde of enemies happens at a brisk pace and will definitely entertain both fans of isometric action shooters and lovers of Lovecraft and a good story.

Rollerdrome offers a completely unique and one-of-a-kind gaming experience that combines rollerblading and tricks with action-packed arena battles. The dynamic yet intuitive gameplay, spiced up with various types of enemies and arenas, along with a fantastic synthwave-style soundtrack, is simply captivating and entertaining. The graphics, set in a futuristic retro 80s world with an animated style, make the game even more original and appealing. The game also presents a certain challenge, as the AI and overall game mechanics definitely won’t give you anything for free, but it’s truly worth it. If I had to name my top 5 games of the year right now, Rollerdrome would definitely be among them.

Regiments is a truly excellent strategy game set during the Cold War. The period-accurate units and their level of detail are downright impressive in certain phases and scenes. You’ll also be surprised by the impressive AI, which is capable of tactical maneuvering—it will retreat when appropriate, and when it senses an opening, it will launch a fierce attack. Unfortunately, there is no multiplayer mode, which would be a natural fit for a game of this type.

Decision: Red Daze is an enjoyable game that fits the mold of titles in this genre. The system for improving character skills through activities and the use of items works very well. However, this eliminates the need for specializations, because no matter which character you start with, you can still improve various skills by using the right weapons. The artificial intelligence is weak and needs improvement across the board, for both friendly NPCs and enemies. The game is carried by its core system, which involves building a base, defending it, and fighting zombies or mutants, though this activity gets repetitive over time and becomes quite formulaic. However, if you enjoy this style of game, you definitely won’t be disappointed.

My Friend Pedro is a fantastic action game that, even three years after its release, still delivers fast-paced action and surprisingly brutal fun. With its mix of action, acrobatics, bullet time, and Pedro’s hilarious one-liners, this game is sure to entertain you and provide a great way to unwind.

Thymesia is an intriguing Souls-like RPG that stands out primarily for its plague weapon system and how it’s used. The game’s visual setting in a gloomy, Gothic medieval kingdom has its own charm, and the experience is all the more immersive because you play as a character dressed as a plague doctor. Combat is dynamic, and each enemy requires a different approach. The game offers a diverse array of plague weapons and a wide selection of talents, skills, and abilities to create your own build. If you enjoy Souls-like games, Thymesia will definitely keep you entertained.

Monster Harvest falls into the category of farming simulators that try to set themselves apart in some way. Here, the difference comes in the form of planimals—mutated creatures that could be likened to hybrids of animals and plants. Although the game features a fairly diverse range of farming items, it is clearly dragged down by a weak combat system, a boring story, and an overall sense of heavy repetition. The changing seasons and weather, which affect what you can grow, are nice, but they get lost in the overall experience because you’ll end up choosing what to grow anyway and focusing solely on that in the end.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is the perfect game set in the Spider-Man universe—it grabs you and won’t let go, just like a spider’s web. Thanks to its emotional storytelling and certain scenes, the story subconsciously draws you deeper and deeper into the game. Dynamic combat filled with various combos and acrobatic elements keeps you eager to thoroughly take down every villain—or at least wrap them up in a web. Thanks to the beautiful graphics and the open world of Manhattan, you can swing elegantly through the city and complete side quests that will also keep you entertained. The excellent gameplay and controls are also a surprise. The title includes all released DLC, which significantly extends the playtime. A major plus is the Czech localization. A thorn in the side for some may be the subpar optimization, which the developers are working on, and several updates have already been released, thanks to which the game now runs smoothly.
