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.

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.

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.

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!

SCP: Secret Files is a game that is not limited to those interested in the SCP foundation and anomalies. The game explains everything in a simple and accessible way, so that literally everyone will find their way here and will not feel lost. SCP: Secret Files is an amazing game, which is not only a walking horror game, but also a great mishmash of other gameplay forms. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to try this game.

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.

The Rogue-lite approach to gameplay is a very interesting treatment that could be a good way to extend the life of this single-player production. It's a good way to delve back into the thick of endless battles without having to go through the campaign again. However, marathons are boring in the long run. Unfortunately, though, Valhalla doesn't have the one more round syndrome. However, once in a while, making such a run is a great idea to spend your free time.

8.5 / 10.0 - Persona 3 Reload
Feb 19, 2024

Persona 3 Reload is a tough nut to crack. It's undeniably the worst Persona I've had the opportunity to play. However, it's still Persona! It's a great title that sucks you in and is addictive. It's a game that you sit down to first thing in the morning and only stop playing late at night, because you notice that you're sort of struggling to sleep.

8.5 / 10.0 - Bears in Space
May 10, 2024

Bears in Space is a game that I can wholeheartedly recommend. This production, created by a handful of people, looks better and more impressive than many high-budget titles created by a whole host of people. It's a production that draws handfuls from such legendary titles as Doom Eternal, High on Life, Borderlands, Ratchet & Clank and Postal: Brain Damaged, but served in a more colorful and accessible style for whole families. It's a game filled with humor and action that everyone will have fun with.

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.

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.

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.

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.

8 / 10.0 - House Flipper 2
Dec 25, 2023

House Flipper 2 is a game that takes boring tasks such as cleaning or renovations and transforms them into truly addictive and enjoyable fun. Despite the simplicity in gameplay and repetitive activities, this title doesn't get boring for a moment. I spent 12 wonderful hours with it and I certainly won't stop there. I recommend it to fans of simulation games, but also to people who are looking for something lighter, at which it is easy to relax.

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.

7.5 / 10.0 - Weedcraft Inc
Dec 30, 2023

Weedcraft Inc is an unusual creation that is able to attract many players with its theme. It is a solid economic game that offers a lot of possibilities and complexity of gameplay. The game is aimed at players who like a challenge. It's just a shame that the title wasted an opportunity to address the positive effects of marijuana, as well as the potentially harmful ones. Anyway, this is a decent strategy for not too much money, which will appeal to a small group of players.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Universim
Jan 29, 2024

I quite enjoyed The Universim, although I am unlikely to return to this title any time soon. I recommend this title, although I should note that it is not for those looking for a challenge or something more dynamic. It is just such a relaxing economic strategy with a few divine additions.

7.5 / 10.0 - Home Safety Hotline
Mar 20, 2024

Is Home Safety Hotline worth adding to your game library? I think it is, most definitely. Because despite its significant flaws, this is a title that not only looks good, but also offers something new in the horror genre. And, most importantly, it brings a lot of fun.

7.5 / 10.0 - Bakery Simulator
Apr 2, 2024

Bakery Simulator may not be a pretty title, a good-sounding title, and, in particular, not one that works perfectly. Nevertheless, it makes up for it with relaxing gameplay. Creating bread and warm buns, and delivering them to your homes so you have something to eat, was an incredibly engaging and enjoyable experience. I will lovingly revisit this title, but given the slight repetitiveness after unlocking everything, it won't happen all that often. Is this title worth purchasing? I think so, especially if you're looking for a way to relax and the sight of fresh, warm bread makes you happy.

Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a solid metroidvania that provides 7 to 10 hours of very good fun. However, it is not a perfect title. It has a flaw in almost every category. Nevertheless, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. This game is like a diamond, but full of imperfections and lack of polish. Personally, I had a great time with this production. Between game sessions, I couldn't wait to get into Zau's character again. If another Tales of Kenzera is created, I will be very eager to check it out.
