CROSSBOW: Bloodnight is a concentrated dose of action. It doesn’t pretend to be a grand epic; it doesn’t offer an expansive campaign or sophisticated RPG systems. Instead, it delivers intense, fast-paced, and stylish combat that relies on reflexes, pace, and a willingness to try again—provided you have the patience to deal with enemies constantly spawning at your position.

5 / 10.0 - HumanitZ
Mar 26, 2026

HumanitZ offers a well-executed blend of survival mechanics and base-building with RPG elements and an open world set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse. It’s a game that’s primarily about atmosphere and survival. On the other hand, there are significant technical shortcomings, and while playing, you’ll find yourself grappling with the game’s technical glitches more than with its survival mechanics or zombies. At times, the gameplay becomes repetitive, and the story feels underdeveloped—it could have enriched the world with more powerful emotional moments. If the developers manage to polish the game, it will be one of the most solid titles in its genre. For now, it’s really up to each player to decide whether they’re willing to tolerate the large number of bugs.

8.5 / 10.0 - Nioh 3

Nioh 3 is a confident continuation of the series that preserves its identity while expanding upon it.

However, if you embrace its rules, you’ll find a complex action RPG with deep systems, intense combat, and an atmosphere that blends history with dark mythology.

7 / 10.0 - Lost Eidolons
Feb 17, 2026

At its heart and soul, Lost Eidolons is a solid turn-based strategy game with rich RPG elements and a well-written story that draws you into a world where chance and tactical ingenuity intertwine. It’s not without its flaws—occasional sluggishness, lengthy dialogues, or a somewhat limited branching decision system may bother some players—but its strengths far outweigh these weaknesses.

8 / 10.0 - Bloodshed
Feb 3, 2026

Bloodshed is a game that knows exactly what it wants to be. It doesn’t try to impress with an epic story or technical finesse, but focuses on pure, uncompromising fun. The combination of an FPS with roguelike elements works well, and thanks to its distinctive pace, it offers an experience that stands out sufficiently from most of the competition. On the other hand, it’s not a game for everyone. If you don’t like repetition, randomness, or a fast pace, you’ll likely get bored with the game quickly. But if you’re looking for an intense action roguelike that will push you to try new builds and constantly improve, Bloodshed can keep you hooked for hours on end.

8 / 10.0 - A.I.L.A
Jan 6, 2026

A.I.L.A. is an ambitious psychological horror game with a clear vision and a powerful theme. It can unsettle you, make you think, and—at its best—offer a truly unsettling yet compelling experience. However, the slower pace and the need for patience with its gradual progression may not be for everyone. It’s an unconventional horror film that appeals more to the mind than to reflexes.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is one of those remakes that prove that when you have a strong foundation, you don’t need to try to rewrite history. All you need to do is sensitively restore it, enhance it with modern technology, smooth out the rough edges, and give it a new shine. And that’s exactly what Delta does. It’s an excellent choice for longtime fans. It’s a great choice for new players who want to understand the series’ roots. It’s a technically ambitious project with a few flaws, but overall it comes across as a respectable, polished work created with respect for the original.

Anno 117: Pax Romana marks a bold step for the series into a period that is iconic for strategy games. Fortunately, however, it doesn’t try to copy other titles and remains true to its unique identity.

For fans of the genre and the series, this game will undoubtedly become a time-sink.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a solid, challenging survival horror game that doesn't try to please everyone. It requires patience, critical thinking, and a willingness to immerse yourself in a world that is dark, confusing, and fascinating all at once. It's not a game that holds your hand; rather, it lets you get lost and fight for survival.

8 / 10.0 - Vaporum
Nov 3, 2025

Vaporum is a game that doesn’t try to be anything it’s not, and that’s precisely what makes it so charming. It offers an authentic, old-school experience, but with modern tweaks that make the genre accessible to newer players as well. If you love mysteries, logic, tactics, and industrial aesthetics, you’ll feel right at home in the Arx Vaporum tower.

Battlefield 6 is a game that sets the series on a new path.

Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance: Uprising is definitely a step in the right direction, adding exactly what fans have been asking for: a broader, nonlinear campaign where every move counts and where the resistance finally feels like a real army fighting to survive. At the same time, however, it shows that the developers have so far only opened the door to greater possibilities without actually filling them with content. Conquest mode is fun and engaging, but after a while it starts to suffer from monotony and a lack of depth. However, if you enjoyed the original Defiance and are looking for a reason to return to it, Uprising will definitely give you one. It’s a solid expansion that takes the game further and showcases its potential.

Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition proves that even a title originally designed for virtual reality can work as a full-fledged game for a broad audience. The atmosphere of Alien is still very much alive here—dark corridors, nerve-wracking sounds, and the constant feeling that death is lurking around the corner. With a bit of exaggeration, it’s a successful blend of Alien: Isolation and Aliens: Colonial Marines that manages to entertain, and if you’re a fan of the series and haven’t had the chance to play the VR version, the Evolved Edition is the clear choice.

6.5 / 10.0 - Borderlands 4
Oct 9, 2025

Borderlands 4 is a game that builds on the solid foundation of its past while also striving to move into the future. It features a massive arsenal of weapons, dynamic combat, charismatic characters, and an open world that won’t let you catch your breath. If you’re a fan of the series, there’s no question about it. If you’re new to the series, get ready for a serious dose of chaos, humor, and shooting that will keep you entertained for dozens of hours. Yes, the game has its flaws, the biggest of which is its technical issues—specifically, crashes—which is exactly what drags the game down so badly. Once the technical issues are ironed out and everything is fixed, this title will undoubtedly become a major time sink.

7.5 / 10.0 - Phoenix Point
Oct 7, 2025

Phoenix Point is a game that aims to appeal primarily to fans of deeper tactical games. It doesn’t pander, makes no compromises, and refuses to hold players’ hands. The reward, however, is an extremely satisfying sense of accomplishment from a well-executed mission, from thoughtful team development, and from geopolitical decisions that change the face of the world. If you can overlook the game’s minor flaws—occasional UI glitches and sometimes unbalanced enemy difficulty—you’ll find a gem for those who love challenges, tactics, and a compelling atmosphere.
