DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO is an enjoyable arena fighter that pays homage to the legendary manga and, by extension, the game series. The dynamic battles, presented in a well-designed visual style, are engaging and, above all, entertaining. Playing with a keyboard, however, is a nightmare, so I recommend using a controller.

TIEBREAK: Official Game of the ATP and WTA is one of those titles that perhaps should have remained in early access for a while longer so that all its flaws could be ironed out. Issues with movement and gameplay, responsiveness, and a career mode that doesn’t allow you to develop your player or improve and boost their attributes—none of this is particularly exciting. On top of that, this is a PC game that doesn’t support a mouse or keyboard at all. I can only wholeheartedly recommend this title to true enthusiasts or players who are willing to wait until the developers get it together, as they’ve promised.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead is a traditional yet well-crafted turn-based dungeon crawler RPG. With its setting, diverse range of monsters and units, and skill system, it’s a well-made game that will keep you entertained. However, after playing for a while, the gameplay can start to feel repetitive—a feeling exacerbated by the fact that once you understand the game, you’ll be able to clear all levels using combinations of 3–5 minions.

Zero Sievert is an excellent game that will draw you in and get your heart racing with excitement and adrenaline. The setting in post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe following a nuclear power plant explosion is put to good use, and the pixel art style gives this top-down RPG shooter a unique flair. It’s truly an impressive title that will keep you hooked. With a wide variety of real-world weapons that you can customize, plus a vast array of resources, materials, and gear, you’re guaranteed never to get bored. Enemies won’t give you anything for free, and every time you survive a hunting trip, it’s an achievement in itself. Zero Sievert definitely has great potential, and if you enjoy this style, love the atmosphere of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, and appreciate the gritty mechanics of Escape from Tarkov in a 2D pixel art style, this game will undoubtedly become a major time sink for you.

Satisfactory is definitely a great game that will entertain any fan of the genre. If you enjoy resource management, building automated factories, and exploring the world, you’ll be absolutely thrilled. The game’s sophistication and the logical interdependence of certain machines on raw materials, energy, and various devices are fantastic. Likewise, the emphasis on efficiency and the need to carefully plan logistics routes is something that can keep you entertained for a very long time.

Nobody Wants to Die is a captivating detective adventure game set in a dystopian New York in the year 2329, where the right to life depends on how much money you have. The game offers a great detective story that presents you with moral dilemmas exploring the questions of immortality and the right to life. Unfortunately, the game holds your hand a bit too much, leaving little room for the kind of in-depth investigation you might expect. Even so, thanks to its story and visuals, it’s a well-crafted game that’s sure to captivate you.

Diplomacy is Not an Option from the development studio Door 407 is undoubtedly a very ambitious project that is poised to become a great game in its category. However, it’s also a game with monotonous—albeit excellent—gameplay that will appeal primarily to fans of the genre and lovers of the combination of tower defense, base builder, and RTS. Defending your base will eventually become a real challenge, and you’ll be running around trying to handle everything at once, but the user-friendly interface does its job well. At this stage, there are still some bugs in the game that need to be fixed, and it’s clear that the developers still have a lot of work ahead of them to bring their creation to perfection.

Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter is a naval simulator featuring a Fletcher-class destroyer, in which your mission is to hunt down enemy submarines and protect Allied vessels. The game largely revolves around monitoring instruments, planning, and strategy, so it’s neither an easy nor an intuitive title. The developers’ pursuit of maximum realism is also one of the game’s weaknesses, but it will appeal to niche players who love planning, simulators, and naval themes.

Terminus: Zombie Survivors is a fun yet fairly challenging roguelike game where you try to survive in a world overrun by zombies. Due to the turn-based gameplay and AP consumption, you must carefully consider every move you make. With a diverse range of playable classes, randomly generated environments, multiple possible endings, and a wide variety of items, the game offers amazing replayability. However, some players may be put off by the difficulty until they’ve learned the game well, understood its mechanics, and are able to enjoy its full potential.

Roots of Pacha offers a refreshing take on the farming simulator genre, thanks to its new ideas and mechanics, entertaining mini-games, and—last but not least—its emphasis on collective life rather than the protagonist’s individual life. One of the game’s key driving forces is the element of discovering new tools.

Sweet Transit is an enjoyable city-building strategy game in which the proper functioning of the railroads is the be-all and end-all. The game stands out for its relaxed and intuitive gameplay combined with railroad and city management. The pace of the game is relatively slow at first, but once it picks up, you’ll find yourself at a stage where you’re simply fulfilling the desires of your city’s residents—both in terms of the attractiveness of the environment and the economic aspects. Ultimately, this is a well-crafted game that will delight fans of city-building games and railroad enthusiasts alike

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a well-crafted JRPG based on the popular Suikoden series. The game offers an engaging story that doesn’t revolve solely around the main character, but branches out to include other characters and their perspectives on the situation. Storytelling and the large cast of characters are among the game’s cornerstones. It’s a solid retro JRPG that’s sure to captivate players, and as such, it’s a worthy successor to Suikoden.

DayZ is an interesting PvP/PvE survival game that, compared to the competition these days, doesn’t offer anything particularly exceptional. The game’s outdated graphics and certain mechanics are clearly evident. However, what definitely keeps it in the spotlight is its active player community and modders. If you’re looking for an online game where you’ll battle other players who might be lurking in any building, big or small, and you enjoy survival games regardless of the visuals, you’ll have fun with DayZ.

Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary is a solid remake of the original game that will entertain all players who love solving puzzles combined with environmental manipulation. The icing on the cake is the new content and improved graphics, which make the game even more enjoyable.

Squad is undoubtedly a standout title in the realm of tactical PvP FPS games, combining enjoyable gameplay with a focus on realism and a modern warfare setting. If you’re looking for a balance between arcade-style and hardcore gameplay, then Squad is the game for you. If you can overlook a few minor technical glitches and enjoy team-based gameplay, it won’t disappoint you.

Myth of Empires is an enjoyable third-person MMORPG with survival elements that takes you back to the era of ancient feudal China. You can choose whether to play on PvP or PvE servers, or even solo. It’s a solid title from the East that features a vast world where there’s always something to do. However, you’ll need to set aside plenty of time for the game, because even with a group of friends, everything takes an incredibly long time here.

The Solus Project is an enjoyable exploration-based walking simulator that aims to compellingly blend story and survival elements. Unfortunately, it falls short in this regard and doesn’t offer what other similar titles in its category do. The story and its narrative do offer some interesting moments, even though they’re scattered throughout what is mostly a monotonous journey from point A to point B. This is clearly a case of wasted potential, and it is definitely not a full-fledged survival horror game.

ELDEN RING: Shadow of the Erdtree is an absolutely fantastic expansion to the already phenomenal ELDEN RING. The DLC fits perfectly into the ELDEN RING universe and brilliantly expands the lore. It also introduces breathtaking new locations, epic battles against new bosses, and a wide variety of new weapons and gear. In terms of content, ELDEN RING: Shadow of the Erdtree clearly surpasses some full-fledged games and is an absolute must-have for every ELDEN RING player.

Kerbal Space Program 2 was supposed to be a worthy successor to the first game, a fantastic space sandbox simulator. However, the title was marred by numerous early development errors that continue to cause problems to this day. Kerbal Space Program 2 definitely has a lot to offer, but because many known bugs remain unresolved even a year after its release into Early Access, and according to the latest information, the future of the development studio (and the development process) is still uncertain, I cannot recommend the game at this stage. I would rather opt for Kerbal Space Program 1 or wait until the full version of the game is released.

Manor Lords is a fantastic building strategy game set in the late 14th century in what is now Bavaria. The game is more of a simulation of everyday life in a medieval fiefdom. The combination of building strategy with war elements reminiscent of Total War works brilliantly and raises the bar yet again. On top of that, everything feels incredibly organic and lively. The Burgage Plots system is brilliantly implemented, and the atmosphere is further enhanced by excellent graphics and sound design. This game has tremendous potential, and if everything goes well, it will undoubtedly become a huge time sink. For me, it’s the biggest surprise of the year.
