Still There is a small-format adventure game that hides many beauties and secrets. The emotionally powerful story must touch even the insensitive characters, because you won't have the chance to meet such tragic human fates anywhere else. Where the title falls short, on the other hand, is in the more challenging puzzles without enough clues, which in the end only drag the game out. The game is certainly not for impatient gamers looking for fast-paced action.

Lumione is a hardcore challenge, especially for older veterans and patient players who are not afraid to try the same jump over and over again for several tens of minutes. On the other hand, if you're a complete novice in the waters of puzzle platformers, you'd better wait a while and train your skills. The title may not offer anything miraculously revolutionary and unique on the market, but it will attract you with its magical appearance. The feeling you get when you finally give up after a few hours is priceless.

Creepy Tale is a creepy one-shot with a simple plot, friendly visuals, harmonious audio side and also with a few problems that slightly disturb the overall impression. The inspiration of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales is evident in the Slavic setting of the story and only enhances the overall dark atmosphere. If you can manage to arm yourself with more patience, hate jumpscars, but still want to play something horror, this title is perfect for you.

At first glance, Vane is a visually very appealing exploratory adventure game with a clear creative vision, but this is overshadowed by the gameplay. If the same amount of care and work had been put into the gameplay mechanics and gameplay itself as was put into creating the graphical identity, an interesting game with the potential to stand alongside other similarly-themed titles could have been created. Unfortunately, Vane has so many problems that I cannot in good conscience recommend it. Beautiful graphics alone are not enough.

Pinstripe is an interesting adventure game with a poetic story, but some players may find it hard to read due to its overdone style. The short game time and the associated smaller bite-sized content is also disappointing. The title, on the other hand, excels in the field of replayability, enjoyable audiovisual aspects and various options for progressing through the game. The overall point is thought-provoking... if you get it at all.

Haven presents you with one challenge after another in a dreamlike, audiovisually beautiful world where you'll spend dozens of hours unraveling all its hidden corners and contents. The blemish on an otherwise great title is the less well-handled co-op, rather sporadic hitches and feelings of stereotype for a certain variety of players. The romantically-themed story suits the younger generation more, but even a boomer like me enjoyed it to the fullest.

AER: Memories of Old is a charming explorative adventure game with a peaceful atmosphere aimed at relaxation and stress relief. The varied game world hides many small or big secrets and it will be up to you how much of it you want to discover. The transformations from girl to bird and vice versa are beautifully smooth, unfortunately the same cannot be said for the controls. The length of the gameplay isn't very friendly either, but if you're even slightly intrigued by the title, definitely take your time and immerse yourself in its beauty.

Lightmatter has come up with an interesting idea that definitely has a lot of potential. Even so, it is no match for the king of this genre, Portal, from which it takes perhaps its greatest inspiration. Despite all this, I still have to rate the game very positively, because it offers a lot - nice visuals, imaginative logic puzzles, new game mechanics, challenges and those great cynical comments from an even better dubbed narrator.

Dream Cycle is a diamond in the rough with big ambitions, but so far it has unfortunately fallen short in several ways. The unpolished combat system, bugs, flimsy controls, and over-lit and repetitive scenes, for example, are the game's biggest hurdles at this stage. The title is still in early access, so the developers can listen carefully to the community's comments and create a unique game thanks to them.

The game is a crazy psycho ride that is unparalleled at Amanity Design. For Halloween, it's the perfect title to induce fear and a disjointed mental state. Happy Game is definitely not that happy and together with the simple gameplay, eerie atmosphere and properly tuned graphics, it's a hilarious adventure game for lonely dark evenings.

Black Skylands, meanwhile, is showing off its open world of endless clouds in the Early Access, with danger lurking around every corner. Pull your muscles out of your bag and go liberate the islands, or stay at base and tend to your home. The title brings with it incredible freedom, beautiful visuals, addictive gameplay, a lust to discover more of Aspy's beauty and a curiosity to see what lurks in the dangerous Storm. While the gunfights can be a little cumbersome, and so can the airship steering, it's nothing the developers haven't worked on before the full game's release.

Wintermoor Tactics Club is an interesting tactical game with an intricate story, well-drawn characters and plenty of challenges. Play Lord of the Cave, write stories for your friends, and most importantly, survive high school unscathed as danger lurks at every turn. For me, the sometimes unnecessarily long and boring conversations, coupled with the impression of unfinished backgrounds and the inability to restart the whole attempt during a conflict, slightly spoil the overall impression of an otherwise fun turn-based game.

OPUS: Echo of Starsong is a great adventure game combining the best of several genres. Together, they create a unique concept of a touching and unforgettable story full of twists and turns, impressive visuals, sophisticated characters cleverly blended into the plot and a pleasant sound design. This game really does have an all personifying quality to it, and the slower pace gives you time to connect with the characters and experience their heartbreaking journey alongside them as if you were just another member of the crew.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles is literally a must for all fans of the original anime. The game, in its own distinctive style, describes Tanjiro's story through a shorter but well-crafted Adventure Mode. However, if you just want to kick the asses of unpopular characters, you'll appreciate Versus Mode as well. Overall, this is a hilarious title that certainly has something to offer even those who haven't heard of Demon Slayer. The beautiful anime graphic styling, engaging story, action-packed combat, smooth controls, tons of content, visually appealing effects, and heartfelt dubbing are sure to keep you entertained.

The Samorost 3 is exactly as long as you need it to be. Playable time depends on the player's ability and ranges from about two hours to ten or more if you want to find and collect all the achievements. During this adventurous quest you'll encounter colourful locations, intriguingly playful puzzles and an engaging story in the iconic surreal style we've all come to love so much. Take heart and save the universe!

Overcooked! All You Can Eat is, in my opinion, just a marketing ploy to extract even more money from the fans. The innovations that the developers are boasting about, which should supposedly be the main attraction for buying this edition, are not that dazzling. The online mode is almost unplayable, and the full price is rather discouraging even for owners of previous installments. On the other hand, the improved graphics are nice, as is the new content. If you don't already have a piece of this series in your library, then you won't go wrong with the All You Can Eat edition. On the other hand, it's not worth buying if the opposite is true.

The bottom line is that CHUCHEL is not for everyone, but fans of Amanita Design games will definitely enjoy it. During the wacky quest to capture a juicy cherry, you'll feel absurd and maybe a little confused, all compensated with a good dose of fun. However, the somewhat chaotic narrative of the not-quite-engaging story may present an insurmountable obstacle for some players, while keeping others on their toes. For the affordable price tag, perhaps the biggest problem is the actual play time, which hovers around two hours, and that's simply not enough.

Lake is an incredibly soothing play with well-written characters, dialogue, and even better dubbing. The characters do occasionally open their mouths and miss the dub, but along with the not-so-widespread repertoire of local radio, this can be considered a minor detail that doesn't explicitly interfere with the experience of the play. The small town of Providence Oaks is just the perfect setting for an interesting story with three endings. The job of a postman suddenly seems like a dream job, though then again not for everyone.

ArtFormer: Ancient Stories offers a unique look at four historical periods of our history, provided by four unique chapters. The graphics based on real history is probably the biggest plus, add to which the different stories and varied game mechanics including logic puzzles. What still needs a lot of work is the technical state of the game, as its otherwise smooth progress is disrupted by several bugs and especially by the strange, almost skeletal controls that will cause you to lose a few nerves. In around five hours you'll get a refresher on art history and maybe learn something new.

Crown Trick is, in a nutshell, a great roguelike title that won't bore you. Whether it's the visual identity, the amount of content, the variety of enemies and environments, or the turn-based combat system that will take some getting used to, this game is definitely a hit for anyone who isn't afraid of a challenge and is looking for exactly the thrill of exploring the unknown.
