ATOM RPG is a classic, old-school isometric RPG with turn-based combat and an emphasis on dialogue. You could compare it to a diary found in the ruins. At first glance, it looks old, tattered, and almost worthless. But as soon as you open it, you’ll realize you’ve gone back to the roots of classic, old-school, gritty post-apocalyptic RPGs—games that may not impress with their audiovisual style, but will win you over with their gameplay.

Front Mission 2: Remake is the latest installment in the cult classic series, offering improvements in both visuals and gameplay. Unfortunately, it’s not without its issues, primarily in the localization—which, given the game’s rich story, can detract from the overall experience. The game’s structure is, unfortunately, quite outdated. Nevertheless, it’s an enjoyable RPG that can hold your interest, but don’t expect miracles—and be sure to think carefully before buying it.

Commandos: Origins is a successful return to the roots of the famous series, which comes back to life with this title. Intuitive controls and the ability to manipulate the camera enhance the game’s playability while opening up new possibilities for interacting with the environment and timing your actions. The game is undoubtedly a solid addition to the series, though it loses some points due to minor bugs, its straightforward nature, and a near-total lack of depth.

Aquatico is a solid building strategy game set in an underwater world. The unique underwater setting offers a refreshing change of pace among the wide range of building strategy games, but the potential of this setting hasn’t been fully realized. In practice, it’s essentially the same concept as if you were building anywhere else. The game offers a very diverse range of infrastructure and an extensive, if chaotic, technology tree. Despite this, it’s a solid building strategy game that will find its audience.

Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator is undoubtedly an interesting third-person simulator that sheds light on the lives of paramedics. The game features realistic scenarios and emphasizes handling them according to actual standard operating procedures. Unfortunately, frequent bugs significantly detract from the experience. At its core, the game is solid in its pursuit of realism and in providing challenges in the form of saving lives, but those bugs simply ruin the experience.

The PC version of Rise of the Ronin is a fantastic open-world experience that transports you to the Bakumatsu period of the Edo era. The world is teeming with authentic historical details, and combined with dynamic combat and intuitive controls, it offers a delightful experience for all fans of the genre and of Japan. Unfortunately, the title is severely let down by technical shortcomings in the form of poor optimization. If (and when) the optimization improves, the game will earn a solid 8/10 rating.

Commandos 3 - HD Remaster seemed to promise a nostalgic return and a revival of the legendary title, which combines the RTS and stealth genres with tactical elements, along with great atmosphere and gameplay, all wrapped up in a fresh new look. Unfortunately, due to technical shortcomings, a terrible camera, and, last but not least, Epic Games’ secret saving of files to the device, I cannot recommend this title.

Pharaoh: A New Era is a faithful remake of the classic 1999 city-building strategy game that brings nostalgia to life while also appealing to new players. Unfortunately, the game does not include the Cleopatra expansion or a minimap, but it does feature attractive graphics and the entertaining gameplay familiar from the original game.

Star Trucker is a solid game for fans of space simulators who enjoy a combination of logistics, trade, and “leisurely” space exploration. The game’s main drawbacks are certain logical paradoxes stemming from its setting and an AI that lacks any sense of self-preservation. If you enjoy space simulators and don’t mind facing repetitive challenges, Star Trucker will definitely offer you a worthwhile experience.

Reus 2 is a very interesting sequel to the original strategy game, which carves its own path. It doesn’t try to compete with big city-building games or realistic civilization simulators. Instead, it offers a unique view of the world’s development from the perspective of divine creators. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, enjoy pondering things more deeply, and are looking for a well-thought-out game with high replay value, then Reus 2 is the clear choice for you.

Avowed is a well-crafted action RPG set in the fantastic Pillars of Eternity universe. The story and side quests are definitely well done, and it’s also worth mentioning the truly extensive UI customization options. The combat is dynamic and thrilling, and the overall movement system is smooth and elegant. In some respects, however, you’ll get the feeling that the game lacks the depth and unexpected twists we’re used to in Pillars of Eternity and similar RPG titles. The variety of enemies is also relatively limited, though they are well-designed. Nevertheless, the game’s audiovisual presentation, gameplay, and lore are what will keep you coming back for more.
