Superliminal plays with perspective and optical illusions brilliantly and brings a healthy dose of originality to the gaming market. Still, I feel that the developers didn’t fully realize the game’s potential, and their efforts to achieve variety weren’t entirely successful in every respect. For newcomers, this may be a good starting point, but more demanding veterans might be disappointed.

Pronty: Fishy Adventure, despite a few noticeable issues, does a truly excellent job in terms of its combat system and stunning audiovisual presentation. While it’s not a groundbreaking masterpiece, the game will stick with you for various reasons, and you’ll particularly enjoy the battles against its interesting bosses. This adventure game will keep you entertained for about fifteen hours if you want to explore every inch of the underwater world. For fans of the genre, it’s definitely worth your time.

Tandem: A Tale of Shadows brings several interesting ideas to the realm of logic puzzles, wrapped in a fairly appealing package. However, it suffers from minor yet ultimately critical flaws that turn what should be a relaxing experience into a nightmare. The simplistic presentation and weak attempt at storytelling mentally categorize the game as one for a younger audience, but the content itself doesn’t warrant that label. Neither the dual perspective nor the innovative mechanics can fully compensate for the inconsistent difficulty or the control issues. Still, it’s not an outright bad game—it will keep you entertained for about five hours.

With its unique take on the story, Catie in MeowmeowLand appeals to a wide range of players, from little kids to seasoned veterans. While the game draws inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, it brings its own distinctive style to the story—and, most importantly, lots of CATS! This charming adventure game will keep you pleasantly entertained, though unfortunately not for very long.

FixFox is a wonderful, peaceful adventure game from a one-person Czech studio, and its low-budget production is in no way evident. On the contrary, the developer has handled this challenge exceptionally well, and the game offers sufficiently long, suspenseful, and entertaining gameplay completely free of violence. Since this is a Czech title, the lack of a Czech localization is a bit of a letdown, and a few minor flaws slightly lower what is already a very good rating.

All in all, Submerged: Hidden Depths comes across at first glance as an intriguing adventure game with an even more intriguing world that practically begs to be explored. Technically speaking, however, it’s not quite as impressive, and the game’s “simplicity” can even feel a bit tedious at times. That said, the game undeniably offers a relaxing and soothing experience. If you decide to skip the side content and stick to the main path, you’ll be done in about three hours.

Lifeslide takes you on a brief journey through colorful polygonal scenery accompanied by soothing, meditative music, creating a peaceful, Zen-like experience. However, due to its finicky controls and very short playtime, it doesn’t hold your attention long enough to make you want to come back to it.

At its core, Black Book is an engaging deck-building card game featuring terrifying tales from the Russian countryside a century ago. Local superstitions and folklore, combined with authentic Slavic mythology, come to life against a backdrop of simple visuals and, together with the music, create a truly dark atmosphere. For a reasonable price of €25, even with its many flaws and drawn-out gameplay, card game enthusiasts are sure to find something to enjoy.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, FAR: Changing Tides offers an amazingly adventurous journey set against the backdrop of an even more beautiful, ruined world. Since the last installment, the developers have addressed the shortcomings of the first game and added a wealth of new content and mechanics. However, this has made the game more complex, resulting in a loss of that meditative atmosphere. Despite all that, it’s an excellent game that will surely find its rightful place in your heart and in your game library.

Out of Line may not fully satisfy demanding platforming veterans, but it offers a pleasant and laid-back experience for those looking to liven up their evening. Set in a beautiful, captivating world, it presents an inexplicably minimalist story and a lack of challenges. There is certainly a lot of room for improvement, but I firmly believe that the developers will take the best from this experience and apply it to their next project.

Clunky Hero is still in its early stages, which naturally comes with its fair share of unresolved bugs. The developers need to learn from these and listen closely to their community—which, by the way, they are doing, and for that they deserve credit. Still, I see potential in the game, though there’s still a lot of work to be done before it truly shines. This quirky Metroidvania, brimming with humor, stands out among the other titles in your library thanks to its witty oddity, and if you’re a fan of games like this, you’ll get a lot of bang for your buck.

Aspire: Ina's Tale doesn't quite live up to its full potential, partly due to its short length and the somewhat clunky movements of its slower pace. It relies too heavily on its stunning audiovisual presentation—which, incidentally, is its strongest point—but the rest of the game doesn’t seem to have received the same level of care. Thanks to the simple puzzles, you’ll breeze through the game fairly quickly, to the point where you’ll wish the tower had a few more floors so you could revel in its beauty a little longer.

Like other point-and-click adventure games, AntVentor is very easy to control, whether using a keyboard and mouse or a gamepad. The result is a relaxing, almost meditative experience with a healthy dose of humor and a surprising story set against a beautiful backdrop. Although I wish the game were longer, this is only the first of three planned chapters. Despite the puzzles not always being straightforward, I highly recommend the game. You broke Florantino’s machine, so you better help him fix it!

SCARF offers a lot of bang for your buck. This pleasant, relaxing game is entertaining, but not for long. It’s truly a shame that a title that excels in so many ways ends all too soon—and with an unsatisfying conclusion, to boot. Even so, I have to praise the visuals, the immersive atmosphere, the audio, the gameplay, and the simple puzzles that blend seamlessly with the surroundings. SCARF has left a lasting impression on me thanks to its many positives, but also a few negatives.

Greak: Memories of Azur is a sad yet touchingly beautiful story of three siblings struggling against adversity against the backdrop of a once-beautiful land ravaged by a cruel war, rendered in stunning hand-drawn art. The touching displays of sibling love, protection, self-sacrifice, and care will tug at your heartstrings. Although there are a few minor flaws, the amazing atmosphere, pleasant music, and adorable art style more than make up for them as you become completely absorbed in the game until you finish it in one sitting in about ten hours.

Tales of Arise is definitely a home run, and as a reboot of the series, it has set the bar incredibly high for future installments. Although the game has a few significant flaws, in my opinion, it’s one of the best JRPGs on the market. The setting of this fascinating world is, in a word, beautiful; the story excels in several ways; the combat system offers so many variations that it’s hard to choose; and the many side activities ensure that you won’t just turn the game off even after finishing the main storyline.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction hits the nail on the head, delivering a solid cooperative shooter that, despite not changing much from the last Rainbow Six, offers a fun, hardcore experience. The superb optimization, crossplay and remote play features, and the complete absence of any bugs a week before release are an incredible achievement for Ubisoft! The developers didn’t exactly go overboard with new features. We should be used to Ubisoft by now, but that’s no excuse for the fact that the developers could have focused a little more on how to make this title even more unique and push it forward.

As a project from a small indie studio, Rising Hell boasts simple gameplay, a healthy dose of challenge for both fans of the genre and complete newcomers, and an appealing audiovisual presentation. For a reasonable price, you’ll get several hours of fun escaping from the pit of hell. Although the game isn’t perfect and has a few flaws, the developers can certainly be proud of their work.

Moncage is a unique puzzle game featuring perspective-based puzzles that are sure to captivate a wide range of players. Let your imagination run wild, piece together all the clues, and keep your eyes peeled. Against a backdrop of pleasant music and visual design, a heart-wrenching story unfolds—one I wish had been presented more clearly. The game is unique in several ways and is definitely worth at least a try, even for those who aren’t big on puzzles.

FAR: Lone Sails is a relaxing adventure game with a unique art style, enriched with logic puzzles and challenges, in which you play as a tiny girl uncovering the tragic fate of a parched world. The main focus of the game is controlling your metal vehicle, which is interesting at first, but later the actions become repetitive without anything new, leading to a slight sense of monotony. Over the course of about three hours, you’ll embark on a journey through a beautiful world that feels more like a work of art than a game.
