The Coalition delivers a visually breathtaking and atmospherically uncompromising action epic that takes the series back to its brutal roots through the raw story of a young Marcus and Dom. Despite occasional recycling of urban environments and minor pacing hiccups, it is an absolute triumph of the cover-shooter genre and an unforgettable ride that no gamer should miss.

Truckful is a fantastic driving adventure that hides an unexpectedly dark and mysterious heart beneath its sunny, charming visuals. Transporting its eccentric inhabitants and their heavy equipment across challenging terrain is a real test of skill, driven by an excellent story that culminates in a brilliant cliffhanger. The perfect game for two or three atmospheric evenings.

WheelMates is an inventive cooperative platformer set in a giant house, offering excellent level design and requiring constant collaboration between both players. However, the overall driving experience is severely undermined by the poor and unpredictable vehicle controls and a restless camera. At launch, the game was also plagued by frequent and frustrating crashes to desktop, making it worth waiting until the developers have fully polished the technical side of the game through patches.

The Fame Game II is held back by certain shortcomings, but thanks to believable chemistry and an interesting setting, the game manages to capture players’ interest. Next time, however, it could use a story with more logic and less of an attempt to impress at all costs.

Hubert delivers an immensely original, atmospheric, and emotionally engaging adventure from a dog's perspective, held back from reaching its full potential only by outdated technical aspects and a relatively short runtime that prevents its gameplay mechanics from being explored to their fullest.

The Relic: First Guardian may not reach the heights of the genre’s best titles, but it can still appeal to action RPG fans looking for challenging combat. Its strengths lie in its dark fantasy setting, combat system, and attempt to offer its own take on the Soulslike genre. If you can overlook some of its weaker aspects, The Relic: First Guardian can still provide a decent amount of fun.

Valor Mortis does an excellent job of bringing the soulslike genre into a first-person perspective, and its dark Napoleonic atmosphere immediately draws you in. Its excellent and addictive combat system, packed with parrying, is unfortunately let down by poor optimization, frustrating checkpoints, and repetitive enemies. Despite these flaws, it remains an incredibly original and intense action game that fans of challenging games shouldn't miss.

Time to Wake Up is a very solid title that manages to strike an emotional chord. Thanks to its intriguing setting, compelling story, and several creative ideas, it is a game that leaves a lasting impression on the player. Sometimes, we have to sleep through our worst nightmare to wake up to a brighter morning.

Silver Pines is a somewhat unconventional addition to the survival horror genre. However, it makes excellent use of tried-and-tested mechanics and beloved genre tropes, making it a definite hit with any fan of the genre. Were it not for a few minor shortcomings, it could have been a truly perfect and unique experience.

Dreadline Express is a very pleasant horror surprise that can be recommended to all fans of Lovecraftian games. This train may not travel through the bitter cold of winter, but the journey itself is certainly capable of leaving a lasting impression.

Forever Ago is a small voideogame that offers much more than meets the eye. It captivates with its beautiful pastel colors and excellent soundtrack, but lacks a bit of ambition and originality in its gameplay. Nevertheless, it delivers an enjoyable gaming experience and manages to engage players with its story and characters.

Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen offers a substantial amount of (endgame) content wrapped in a decent story and set in an attractive new location. More than anything, though, it depends on how much you enjoyed the original game, as Capcom has failed to fully learn from its shortcomings.

Allogloom is a beautiful dark fairy tale that feels like a story straight out of Tim Burton’s imagination. It also features a cast of memorable characters who make the overall gaming experience even more powerful and immersive.

The long wait has paid off, and Nighthawks is one of the most remarkable indie experiences of the year. It takes a fairly original approach to vampire fiction, showing us that humans and vampires can coexist in the same world without their relationship having to revolve solely around hunting and persecution.

Polda 5.5 is an entertaining adventure game that finally answers a question many of us have been asking. However, you can also sense that we may soon have to say a proper goodbye to the character of Pankrác.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is driven by its uncompromising mature atmosphere, the oppressive transformations of the Labyrinth, and the excellent combat synergy between gunplay and the abilities of the hellish puzzle box.

RetroSpace is an action-packed sci-fi FPS that takes us on a space journey inspired by the 1970s and the BioShock series. The game’s visuals may not impress you at first glance, but don’t let them fool you, as that’s not where this title’s charm lies. RetroSpace has much more to offer and is simply waiting for you to give it a try.

Nivalis Nights is one of the biggest gaming surprises of the year. ION LANDS have created an incredibly vibrant cyberpunk city with addictive business management, brilliantly written characters, and an immersive atmosphere. While the initial impression was somewhat marred by the lack of DLSS support and poor optimization, the developers have made noticeable strides forward thanks to three major updates released shortly after launch. If you’re looking for a deep sci-fi life simulator, this voxel-crafted beauty will swallow you whole.

Silent Hill: Townfall introduced us to the Silent Hill universe from a slightly different perspective than we're used to, while still staying true to what defines the series: atmosphere and storytelling.

Radiotext is a very solid debut game that deserves your attention and offers plenty of moments you’ll be thinking about for quite some time. The fact alone that everything is confined to a single screen and that the game feels as though it has fallen straight out of the DOS era gives it a distinctive uniqueness.
