Deadlink is a first-person action shooter that combines roguelike elements with a gripping story. Set in a cyberpunk world, you play as an agent sent on a dangerous mission to destroy corrupt conglomerates. Thanks to a detailed codex that provides information on characters, enemies, weapons, and upgrades, the story is surprisingly well-developed. The gameplay is reminiscent of classic 90s arena shooters like DOOM and Quake, but it’s enhanced with great features. The unique combination of fast-paced, dynamic action with roguelike mechanics sets Deadlink apart from other games in the genre. Overall, it’s a very promising title.

Minecraft Legends is a decent game overall, and despite some shortcomings, it can keep you entertained for a few hours. The game relies primarily on its charm and colorful visuals. Given its simplicity, I would recommend it to a younger audience, who can really enjoy it together with their families.

Dead Island 2 is a pleasant surprise, but unfortunately it doesn't offer anything new. I’d go so far as to say it’s just a better version of its predecessor. It’s a bit more fun, more brutal, more polished, and definitely works better in co-op mode. Still, after nine years of development, I would have expected something more. The combat system is flawless, and destroying the undead is the best part.

Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs is a fantastic expansion that introduces three new playable characters and additional game mechanics. It might take a little while to get the hang of them at first, but you’ll soon find your footing and start conquering the world. Earning slots in the towers—and the bonuses that come with them—is an interesting concept, though you can lose them if another faction outbids you. The only thing that’s a bit annoying is the long loading screen, so you’ll usually resort to the automatic battle resolution.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is the fresh spin-off the series needs. The developers at PlatinumGames have shown us that Bayonetta doesn’t have to be constantly sexualized to be successful. The game’s fairy-tale style is simply wonderful, and honestly, I can’t imagine it looking any other way. The controls are a bit tricky at first, but you’ll get the hang of them quickly. The chemistry between the main characters is the best part of the game, along with the beautiful, colorful illustrations. Another plus is that you can play the game both on your own and with your family.

Octopath Traveler II is definitely a fantastic sequel that both veterans and newcomers will appreciate. Eight playable characters, plenty of side quests, and essential strategy ensure that you’ll enjoy the game for over a hundred hours. All of this is accompanied by 16-bit graphics that are certainly nothing to scoff at. As for the soundtrack, there’s nothing to complain about here. Personally, I played Octopath Traveler II in the original Japanese version, and I have to say that the voice acting is truly professional. Music lovers will also find plenty to enjoy.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a fantastic remake, and I’m really glad the studio finally decided to release it outside of Asia. Despite some camera issues, it’s still a very well-made game that deserves your attention. If you enjoy action-packed stories spiced with timeless humor and emotion, you’ll definitely enjoy Like a Dragon: Ishin! Add to that crazy combat, a ton of side activities, and subplots. You’ll experience all of this in the beautiful setting of the Japanese city of Kyoto.

The Dead Space remake is truly outstanding, sure to delight both die-hard fans of the series and complete newcomers alike. Isaac Clarke is back in top form, thanks in part to new mechanics like the Intensity Director. The brutality is amped up even further, and the already intense atmosphere is even more terrifying. EA Motive crafted this project with great love and respect, and it shows.

Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel isn’t a bad ghostly adventure, though I wouldn’t exactly call it a horror game. To a certain extent, the game manages to create the right atmosphere that we’ve all come to love in legendary horror classics like Amnesia or Penumbra. Unfortunately, this great experience is somewhat marred by action elements and repetitive environments. The enemies look more amusing than they do scary. I consider the time-shifting through the camera an interesting idea that definitely adds a nice touch to the game.

Idol Manager is a relaxing game that will keep you entertained for hours on end, though its repetitive nature can become tedious over time. Fortunately, there are various mods available to spice up your gameplay. For example, you can create a star-studded cast made up entirely of porn stars or add Rem from the anime Re:Zero.

Goat Simulator 3 is a solid sandbox game that you can enjoy with friends, but if you decide to play alone, the limited options can quickly get boring. Even the lack of object physics, which might be fun for a while, can start to get on your nerves after a while. On the other hand, Goat Simulator 3 offers plenty of fun through secret locations and objects to explore, drawing from both the world of film and gaming.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is definitely a great port that I would recommend to all fans who love this spider-hero and some serious urban action. However, this great experience is marred by the fact that the game has a very short playtime, at least as far as the main storyline is concerned. If you plan to complete Morales 100%, it will definitely keep you glued to your seat for more than ten hours.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is a title that won’t please die-hard fans of the series and won’t appeal to newcomers either. Visually and musically, the game is flawless, but it’s ruined by its extreme repetitiveness and lack of a story. Unfortunately, even the bosses themselves aren’t exciting enough to save Gungrave. As for the unbelievable price of €49.99, I find it terribly overpriced.

Bayonetta 3 is a truly fantastic sequel that delivers everything fans love about the series. If you enjoy sexy action heroines in tight-fitting outfits who use their feminine wiles to fight and taunt their enemies, this is the game for you. The story is accompanied by a great soundtrack that blends jazz and funk.

God of War: Ragnarok is an excellent sequel that starts off at a slower pace, but the second half of the game is pure action-packed fun, complemented by an emotional portrayal of both main characters. There are plenty of side activities that will keep you glued to your seat for hours. The icing on the cake is the graphics and the soundtrack.

New Tales from the Borderlands is a bit difficult to evaluate, because in a way, it has the potential to become a fully-fledged part of the established Borderlands universe. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the developers failed to capitalize on that potential, and instead of a great game, we got something I might call a test of fans’ patience. I really hope that, just like with the Postal series, this installment will be forgotten and we’ll pretend it never existed.

I would definitely recommend DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS to fans of the series, because they’ll appreciate the game much more than someone who doesn’t know what Dragon Ball is all about. However, the developers also took into account that their game doesn’t have to be just for fans of the universe. Thanks to this, DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a new, fun cooperative game, as this project doesn’t require any prior knowledge of the series. If you have seven friends who love Dragon Ball and can jump in with you, you’re all set. Unfortunately, the lack of crossplay and communication between players does reduce the game’s appeal. It doesn’t help that you can’t kick toxic players out. At the same time, some people might not like that this game relies on a gacha system.

Gotham Knights is an average urban action game dragged down by endlessly repetitive side quests, identical enemy types, and locations. From a narrative standpoint, there’s nothing to fault our Knights for; the game succeeds in enhancing the series’ dense atmosphere and introducing a true villain. The chemistry between the characters could have been a bit better—after all, they’re supposed to be a team. The only thing that might spoil the cohesive, gloomy atmosphere are Nightwing’s occasional sarcastic “haha” moments. Gotham Knights is, however, a game that preserves the spirit of the Arkham series while offering a completely new perspective.
