7 / 10.0 - Abandon Ship
Aug 25, 2025

Abandon Ship is an atmospheric, original, and highly distinctive game that offers an interesting mix of strategy, RPG elements, and roguelike mechanics. The story isn’t the main focus, but the world and atmosphere more than make up for it. The stylized graphics, soundtrack, and tension in every battle combine to create an experience you won’t soon forget. Its pace won’t suit everyone, and the repetitive combat situations can get tiresome after a few hours. But if you’re drawn to a nonlinear adventure with tactical elements, a crew you’ll grow to love, and a world where death isn’t the end but part of the journey, then this ship is ready to set sail just for you.

If you don’t mind the occasional hint of repetitiveness and can overlook the simpler presentation, you’ll be rewarded with an excellent, engaging, and surprisingly deep strategic journey into the world of sea wolves.

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.

7.5 / 10.0 - Commandos: Origins
May 5, 2025

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.
