Highrise City is an immersive city-building strategy game with a steep learning curve, featuring city construction, resource management, and a strong emphasis on economics. It’s not just a simple city builder, but a complex city-building and management game that focuses on the logical requirements for city operations and subsequent development. The icing on the cake is the ability to drive around the city you’ve built in a white pickup truck, putting you right in the thick of the action. However, the game is let down by relatively poor optimization and a user interface that’s confusing at first. Fans of the genre will definitely find it engaging and entertaining. I’d recommend that newcomers arm themselves with patience or opt for an easier title.

Xenonauts 2 is an enjoyable strategy game that offers fast-paced turn-based combat. The need to build a base, track UFO sightings on the global map, and shoot down flying saucers in a minigame format is quite engaging. The missions, in which you command your troops, are constantly evolving and force you to think on your feet and adjust your tactics with every turn. The game is mainly let down by minor bugs and crashes in certain situations. At the same time, it presents a challenge that will appeal to fans of the genre.

TThe game combines the great satisfaction of making progress with the frustration of repeated deaths.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is a fantastic expansion to the original game, adding a gripping espionage storyline. Along with Phantom Liberty, the game introduces many new features that should have been there long ago, such as action-packed car chases where you can shoot from the driver’s seat or from weapons mounted directly on the vehicles. However, it’s clear that this is an expansion of the original game, so you should expect the occasional bug. It’s definitely a great invitation to return to Night City and finally enjoy what was promised years ago.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is a well-crafted PVE cooperative FPS that elegantly combines shooter elements with tower defense mechanics. Building a base and defending specific objectives adds a certain thrill to the game, even though the concept is still quite repetitive and somewhat lacking at this early access stage. The game definitely has great potential to captivate players and will surely delight fans of this universe, despite certain imperfections.

Gunsmith Simulator is a very enjoyable simulator that takes you into the world of firearms. The weapon designs, their implementation, and the graphics are truly impressive. Thanks to this game, many players get the chance to look inside their favorite gaming companions. The ability to test weapons at various types of shooting ranges greatly refreshes the gameplay, despite a few minor flaws.

Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism is a very well-crafted turn-based strategy game that builds on the classic principles of solid strategy games, including a tile-based map layout. At the same time, however, it introduces excellent strategic elements that clearly set it apart from other games in its category. You’ll get the most out of the experience on the harder difficulty settings, where you’ll have no choice but to put your brain to work and unleash your army’s full potential. Even Stalin would have appreciated this.

SlavicPunk: Oldtimer is a fairly average isometric shooter based on the works of Michał Gołkowski, specifically his SybirPunk novels. The game’s story and setting offer a pleasant cyberpunk atmosphere, shaped by the graphics, sound design, and gameplay. Unfortunately, there’s no option to upgrade your character, complete side quests, or interact more with the environment. The game is also dragged down by various bugs that can really ruin the experience. However, if you’re a fan of the genre, you might still enjoy the title, even though you’ll feel like its potential has been wasted.

Empires of the Undergrowth is an original and ambitious RTS project that offers a glimpse into the brutal animal kingdom. The game requires careful planning and logical thinking. You must protect the queen and ensure the expansion of your colony. The models of animals and various insects are well-done, and combined with sound effects and music, they create a great atmosphere. However, as an RTS, it lacks the tactical elements you might expect from classic strategy games.

Jagged Alliance 3 is undoubtedly one of the best titles in the turn-based tactical RPG genre. This game has just about everything that great old-school games offered—a long, non-linear campaign, excellent tactical elements, the ability to choose your own playstyle, the option to aim where you want during combat, a huge variety of distinct characters with their own personalities, and high replay value. The game’s graphics are perfect, and the atmosphere is enhanced by excellent sound design and a great soundtrack. What knocks the game off its imaginary throne is poor optimization, occasionally unbalanced difficulty, and a slightly clunky user interface. Even so, it’s a great title that fans of the genre—and especially players of the original Jagged Alliance—will appreciate.

Exoprimal is definitely a great third-person PvP/PvE game that skillfully blends the concept of dinosaurs with the modern world. The game offers a wide variety of character classes and different types of dinosaurs, all presented with beautiful graphics and solid optimization. The icing on the cake is the excellent soundtrack and pleasant sound design. Unfortunately, the game lacks variety. In other words, it will grab your attention and keep you entertained, but the fun fades away very quickly. Killing dinosaurs in PvE is entertaining, but the PvP aspect feels unbalanced, compounded by the absence of the diverse game modes found in other PvP titles—features that would certainly enhance the experience. Even so, it’s a solid game, and if you find a group of teammates, you’ll have a great time.

Showgunners brings a breath of fresh air to the world of turn-based tactical RPGs with its action and story set in the world of a twisted reality show. The story has the charm of classic 90s films, and combined with the gameplay, it creates just the right atmosphere. The gameplay combines exploration and action, and combat is where the game truly shines, as it’s very fair—what affects you also affects your enemies. Incorporating the fame and fan base of a reality show into the sponsor mechanics further enhances the gaming experience. For some players, however, the game may feel limiting, as it doesn’t offer as much freedom to create different skill builds as other similar games. It’s a great title if you’re new to the genre or if you’re looking for an action-packed game to really let off some steam.

Bum Simulator offers a wildly crazy glimpse into the world of street life. In addition to a story straight out of a sci-fi movie, you get a small open world, fun side quests, the ability to build a base, beg for money, and engage in fierce battles with members of a rival gang. On top of all that, you have your pigeon shurikens to help you out in tough situations. The combination of visuals and audio, along with the gameplay and various mechanics, gives the game a pleasant, crazy, and entertaining vibe that’s sure to amuse and help you unwind. However, this is not a simulator, as the title suggests, but rather a pleasant, entertaining arcade game designed for relaxation and fun.

Park Beyond is undoubtedly a very enjoyable and user-friendly amusement park simulator. Building the park is intuitive and fun. The attractions are also well-designed, both visually and in terms of sound. Thanks to this, the entire park feels lively, and the game successfully captures the authentic atmosphere of an amusement park. However, it’s more of a title for newcomers to the genre or players looking for a relaxing break rather than sophisticated management-focused building simulators. The game’s biggest drawback is its technical issues, which can really detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

Aliens: Dark Descent is one of the best games in the Alien universe and can easily stand alongside Alien: Isolation. The main draw is undoubtedly the atmosphere, which is simply fantastic and will completely immerse you. The concept of a squad-based tactical RPG, offering great tactical action complemented by unique elements such as a stress level system combined with stealth, will keep you entertained. However, the title is let down mainly by technical issues and minor flaws. If you’re looking for a squad-based tactical RPG with an emphasis on stealth, atmosphere, and real-time combat, this is the game for you.

Total Tank Generals is an enjoyable hex-based turn-based strategy game set during World War II that follows the journey of three of its key military commanders. The game serves more as an introduction to the world of turn-based hex strategy. It can challenge you, it can entertain you, and it can even make you worry about your veteran units and the need to strategize, but it won’t evoke the same deep emotional impact as other titles.

Miasma Chronicles is an enjoyable isometric tactical RPG set in a rather original post-apocalyptic setting. During combat, you have the option to make things easier on yourself by quietly eliminating some of the diverse range of enemies from ambush. When it comes to the main battle against an entire group, it follows the classic turn-based combat formula, which is a well-established standard for this genre and works well. Compared to other titles in the same genre, however, the selection of skills for your characters is somewhat limited. The locations you’ll explore are truly diverse and appealing; each has its own charm and, thanks to the sound design, a distinctive atmosphere. However, interaction with the environment and other characters is somewhat weak, and while the dialogues include choices, they don’t have a significant impact on the story’s progression. If you enjoyed Mutant Year Zero and are a fan of tactical turn-based RPGs, Miasma Chronicles will definitely keep you entertained.

LIVE A LIVE is yet another title making a major comeback. This legendary JRPG will captivate you not only with its gameplay and presentation across several distinct storylines, but also with its visuals and audio. The game’s setting, which spans the time periods in which the various events take place, is superb, and everything is complemented by an amazing soundtrack. Turn-based battles do require a bit of patience and strategic thinking, but once you get into them, you’ll enjoy every battle and the subsequent sense of victory.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a well-crafted open-world RPG inspired by a fantastic board game. The combination of the dark and gritty world of King Arthur with Skyrim-style gameplay is a success and works well. There’s a truly gritty atmosphere in certain situations that will definitely win you over. If you can overlook the game’s minor bugs, weaker graphics, and not-so-smart enemies, it’s a great experience with excellent gameplay that’s definitely worth your time.
