8 / 10.0 - Jusant
Dec 3, 2023

Despite its flaws, Jusant is a decent production that not only brings a lot of fun, but also takes your breath away with its audio-visual side. It's an amazing adventure for 2-3 hours, which I will certainly return to more than once. If you are looking for something different, more subdued, but bringing an amazing experience for winter evenings, then Jusant is for you.

The Talos Principle 2 is a long-awaited sequel that does not disappoint. A strongly philosophical plot, engaging puzzles and fantastic vistas make the game an unforgettable experience. Despite the easier puzzles, new mechanics and tools add freshness to the gameplay. Visually impressive, though with minor optimization issues. For fans of the first part and lovers of puzzle games, this is an absolute must-play!

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale is a very enjoyable Battle Royale game that is capable of bringing a lot of fun and smiles to young and old alike. Everything works very well, yet you feel that something was missing here. That this game could have been so much more. Nevertheless, I am able to recommend it to anyone looking for something different from what the leading representatives of the Battle Royale genre offer.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is an extraordinary game that provides an unforgettable experience. Insomniac Games has taken care of every detail. How they have adhered to an immersive storyline and smooth movement around New York City is something wonderful. The protagonists, Peter and Miles, are different thanks to their skills, which adds depth to the gameplay. Side quests are real gems that can be touching. The game looks beautiful, although there are some uneven visual points. The soundtrack is great, although there is a lack of some memorable tunes. Despite minor bugs, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is an amazing experience.

Just Dance 2024 is a great game that you can have fun with. Even more so if we are with friends. It is worth getting this title, however, you need to strongly consider this purchase. The 2023 and 2024 editions are the same game. Therefore, I recommend thinking beforehand about which one you want to buy; check what songs they offer and whether you will like them.

Assassin's Creed: Mirage is a really interesting project. It's a smaller installment of the series, which should with its mechanical solutions satisfy the oldest fans, and at the same time be a nice refresher for newcomers to the series. Unfortunately, the storyline is not one of the strongest points of the production, giving the impression of being written in an offhand manner, even though the whole thing is a kind of blink of an eye for those who remember the first one. At the end of the day, although I am aware of the existence of better (and worse) games in the series, I had a great time with Mirage and if I ever play it again, I will do it with pleasure.

7 / 10.0 - PAYDAY 3
Sep 20, 2023

PAYDAY 3 is by no means a reskin of the second game, but a true flesh-and-blood sequel, introducing a ton of new features and improvements. The game takes many steps forward while going several steps back. In terms of content, PAYDAY 3 is like a very well-made skeleton that lacks muscle, blood and skin. Empty with just the basics, but with the potential for more.

The plot, despite the slight chaos, is enjoyable, and the characters greatly add to the charm of the production. The graphics are aesthetically pleasing and full of eye-pleasing animations. Unfortunately, the game has its flaws, such as annoying repetitive bots issues and limited depth of gameplay. Levels, although nicely designed, can get boring after a while, and the variety of enemies is practically non-existent. Technical problems such as poor optimization and instability, especially in online co-op mode, are also worth noting. Nevertheless, if the developers undertake improvements, Boti could become an enjoyable platformer for the whole family.

6.5 / 10.0 - Mondealy
Sep 9, 2023

Mondealy draws inspiration from other games, but fails to reach their level. Despite a compelling story and ambitious attempts, the poor execution of the storyline and the game's chaotic world limit its potential. Still, the game offers interesting gameplay elements and hidden content, which may attract players to return. However, to become more than a clone, Mondealy needs to improve the script and the consistency of the game world. And unfortunately, it's too late for that.

Goodbye Volcano High is an emotional and profound game that explores the themes of growing up, acceptance and living in difficult social conditions. Despite the lack of interactive world exploration, the game offers a highly engaging storyline in which the decisions you make affect your bonds with the characters and unlock additional scenes.

10 / 10.0 - Baldur's Gate 3
Aug 31, 2023

Baldur's Gate III already offers an unearthly amount of content and freedom. However, that doesn't change the fact that I and many other players would love to see the aforementioned sequel or DLC. Will that be the case? Time will tell, although the main factor determining the future of the brand will be, as usual, gamers' wallets. I, however, have nothing left to do but to recommend Baldur's Gate III to everyone. Fans of tabletop RPGs will feel like they're in paradise. And all the rest? They will experience one of the best games of the genre ever.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective hardly deviates from the original. It's a game that's already 13 years old, and yet it's still able to defend itself even today. For a person like me, who hasn't had much exposure to this game in the past, its mechanics still seem fresh, original and extremely inventive.

9.5 / 10.0 - Final Fantasy XVI
Jul 2, 2023

Final Fantasy XVI, while phenomenal is not perfect. It's a great story that drew me in completely, bringing me a ton of emotions and memories. Final Fantasy XVI will remain in my heart forever, and hopefully soon in yours as well. Because this is a title that absolutely cannot be missed.

Don't get me wrong. You can see a ton of budget cuts on the technical side, and the content is incredibly poor. But on the other hand, everything works very well. In my opinion, the developers thought everything through well and wisely allocated funds to the most important aspects of production. At the end of the day, I had a phenomenal time! It was nice to explore Maretime Bay and steer my favorite ponies. My only regret is that the game ended so quickly.
