Alien: Rogue Incursion had a huge potential, where it could have delivered one of the best horror experiences in virtual reality, but unfortunately it totally botched it. Instead of focusing on one aspect, Survios tried to split the game into two genres, additionally ending with an unpleasant cliffhanger. It could have been so great, and in the end it came out barely okay.

9 / 10.0 - Marvel Rivals
Dec 12, 2024

All in all, Marvel Rivals is a massive success. Already at this stage the game is very enjoyable to play and after each completed match you want to click again to search for the next one. The full transparency of the developers and the presentation of plans for the future definitely fuels players with optimism, and may it stay that way forever.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is definitely a successful adventure of the iconic archaeologist. Very good and varied gameplay combined with a cinematic storyline and strong characters gives us another hit from Machine Games. If you're a big fan of Indiana then head out into this world ASAP!

9 / 10.0 - ANTONBLAST
Dec 2, 2024

ANTONBLAST jumped out of the blue two years after its kickstarter campaign and definitely showed what it was capable of. It is a great platformer game in the style of the Wario Land series, which presents this gameplay model in its own style, while not being afraid to take risky directions. Without a doubt, this is one of the best platformer games of this year.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl would have been one of the candidates for game of the year, but unfortunately, a terrible technical state spoiled the overall feeling of the gameplay. The game's great world and gameplay, coupled with strong atmosphere, music and acting is offset by bugs, errors and optimization problems.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a very enjoyable installment of the long-running RPG series starring the plumber brothers. An enjoyable battle system, a somewhat tame storyline, familiar characters and a pleasant soundtrack are definitely a recipe for success, despite a few imperfections. If you are looking for an enjoyable adventure for about 25-30 hours then Brothership is a very good choice.

The Lake House DLC is another success from Remedy. After the previous quite diverse DLC, we get a full return to the horror vibe, and it's quite a successful return. The DLC is an interesting and sadly brief return to familiar themes from Control, while mixing mechanics from Alan Wake 2. The DLC is at the same time a gateway to the upcoming Control 2, which I am strongly looking forward to.

A Quiet Place: The Road is a pretty decent game based on a well-known movie franchise. What we have here is a pretty good stealthy horror game that offers very good acting and animation. Unfortunately, some of the gameplay decisions weren't quite right, and the music doesn't deliver as well as the rest of the audio. However, looking at the price of the game, I'm able to conclude that it's adequate and not exaggerated, as is the case with other games that have been coming out recently.

10 / 10.0 - Neva
Oct 19, 2024

Neva is an extremely emotional journey that catches your heart and makes you cry. It is probably my favorite game of the year at the moment, due to the fact that it provided me with everything I need in a video game. Very good gameplay, beautiful graphics and an emotional soundtrack complementing it all, gives one of the best gaming blends this year.

9 / 10.0 - Silent Hill 2
Oct 15, 2024

Silent Hill 2 from Bloober Team is a phenomenal revamp of the legendary game from Konami. The changes in the presentation of the story, the changes in the gameplay and the entire audio-visual setting blend together perfectly, presenting the definitive version of the foggy city. I hope that the collaboration between Konami and Bloober Team will not end with just this production, because it is clear that Bloober knows what it is doing and understands the brand.

5 / 10.0 - Europa
Oct 11, 2024

Europa is an average adventure game, which unfortunately does not surprise with anything new in terms of story and gameplay, but offers an incredibly good soundtrack. To this we can add a short duration, which does not fill us with optimism in terms of a potential purchase, which is a pity, because the potential was high.

Shattered Space is unfortunately a pretty big failure for Bethesda Game Studios. “Expansion” unfortunately introduces an uninteresting story, which with its length does not justify such a high price. In addition, the lack of any significant gameplay innovations also does not help the reception of the production.

8.5 / 10.0 - KILL KNIGHT
Oct 4, 2024

KILL KNIGHT is a very good game that takes the well-known single-player arena shooters to an isometric view and does it together with a perfectly fitting graphic style and soundtrack. If you are a fan of fighting for the top spots on the leaderboards or long hours of massively knocking out opponents, then KILL KNIGHT is definitely for you.

10 / 10.0 - The Plucky Squire
Sep 17, 2024

The Plucky Squire is one of the best games of this year. The highly varied gameplay perfectly combines with a creative approach to building the game world in both 2D and 3D sequences. The above elements, combined with near-perfect technical condition and very good sound design, put this production next to the best games of the year.

6 / 10.0 - Deathsprint 66
Sep 12, 2024

DEATHSPRINT 66 is unfortunately another ordinary kart rider with a new skin. If you are a fan of games like Team Sonic Racing or the Mario Kart series and can put up with a lot of flashing lights and a moderately clear image on higher graphics settings, you will easily find your way here. I, unfortunately, am unable to recommend the game given the small amount of content and the price, which does not reflect what the game offers.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is another quite successful game from the iconic brand. The varied campaign mode and engaging multiplayer mode is definitely a recipe for good fun with friends.

5 / 10.0 - Concord
Sep 5, 2024

Concord is unfortunately another undistinguished hero shooter. It offers nothing special to set it apart from the competition, while offering a dull cast of characters, an unnecessary storyline that took off without any prior player engagement.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is unfortunately not a successful return to the Test Drive series. Poor technical condition, huge grind and lack of innovation are the main elements of the “ big” return of this series. The only thing that saves Solar Crown from total failure is the pleasant driving model and the very well replicated map of Hong Kong. However, I am feeling hopeful that KT Racing will take matters into their own hands and start fixing the game as soon as possible, because to experience such problems with the Day One patch is no excuse.

7.5 / 10.0 - Star Wars Outlaws
Aug 26, 2024

Star Wars Outlaws is a pretty good game with no shortage of flaws. At first glance it seems very impressive, but after a long time many systems begin to tire the player. The plot is an element that will probably divide fans, as there is a lack of interesting characters here, but the story idea itself is quite good. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of Star Wars then most likely you will still want to get acquainted with another story from this universe.

8.5 / 10.0 - House of Golf 2
Aug 15, 2024

House of Golf 2 is a great minigolf game, I am tempted to say that it may even be the best minigolf game at the moment, but the poor music and lack of online multiplayer mode leave a slight distaste. Some people may also not like the high level of difficulty, but if they are simply looking for a game to shoot holes in, it's definitely worth their interest.
