Box Knight is a straightforward and fun roguelike brawler with visuals inspired by South Park that does an excellent job of parodying corporate stereotypes. Although the combat eventually devolves into repetitive button mashing and the campaign takes only around 5 to 7 hours to complete, the overall experience is significantly salvaged by an excellent gameplay twist after encountering the First Knight, the bonus Horde Mode, and the well-executed local co-op. If you need a quick way to blow off some pent-up work stress, this is an ideal little treat.

SPRAWL Zero is an old-school shooter that may not offer a highly polished level of graphical detail, but it delivers a proper adrenaline-fueled ride packed with a ton of unique weapons and enemies that definitely won’t start to feel boring, even by the finale.

Duskfade is a beautifully crafted modern tribute to classic old-school 3D platformers, offering gorgeous worlds, fluid movement, and inventive boss fights. Unfortunately, the otherwise excellent gameplay experience is held back considerably by uneven pacing, with the most fun mechanic — grinding along edges — not unlocking until the very end of the game. Despite its predictable story and occasional technical hiccups, however, it remains a solid and engaging adventure that fans of the genre shouldn’t miss.

If you’re a fan of action games, samurai, Japanese history, demonic fantasy, or simply great sword combat, Onimusha: Way of the Sword should definitely be on your radar. An excellent comeback that further confirms Capcom’s impressive form.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is a triumphant and uncompromising action RPG that brilliantly combines mature storytelling with ferocious vampire gameplay. The contrast between the human day and the monstrous night works flawlessly, while the breathtaking city of Svartrau will captivate you from the very first moment. If the developers manage to iron out the inconsistent optimization with a Day One patch, we have an undeniable Game of the Year contender on our hands.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy tells us the events that took place before the story of Amicia and Hugo, allowing us to learn more about the mysterious Sophia. While the rats are gone from the game, we are still faced with an equally terrifying new enemy. Technically, it is once again a fantastic gaming experience, with the only downside being the rather blatant adaptations of well-known Greek myths.

The Sinking City 2 brings several changes compared to the first installment, making it a true survival horror game. Interesting puzzles and original monsters create the right atmosphere. Although the story could have been a bit more detailed.

Steins;Gate RE:BOOT, even in its new and revamped version, remains a high-quality visual novel that handles the theme of time travel in an innovative and believable way. At times, however, it feels a little too much like a scientific lecture, and it could do a better job of clearly showing the player how their decisions affect the story.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is an incredibly immersive and tactically deep asymmetric simulator that, despite its more limited selection of weapons and occasional visual chaos in the impenetrable jungle, delivers excellent technical performance and an unparalleled team-based experience for any well-coordinated squad.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is an excellent fighting game that needed only one attempt to establish itself among the very best the genre has to offer. The talented development studio has transformed years of experience into an outstanding title that will appeal to both casual fighting game players and true fans of the genre.

The Silver Crow fails to live up to its potential, and instead of a horror title, we get an intriguing detective case that ends much sooner than it has a chance to properly get going.

Although the Final Stand expansion for Company of Heroes 3 significantly expands the co-op experience, which in the base game was limited to matches against the AI, its new game mode, focused primarily on defensive gameplay, feels like only a minor addition. On top of that, the developers are asking quite a high price for it.

Kamilia can completely draw you in with its fantastic story, interesting characters, and powerful moments that may stay with you long after the credits roll. And while it may not offer a great variety of gameplay elements, it certainly has heart and soul, making it a treat for anyone who enjoys compelling stories with a touch of romance and mystery.

For those who enjoy puzzles, solving the cases in Case Solved: The London Files can be quite entertaining. However, the game would benefit from a greater amount of content to provide a more substantial and satisfying experience.

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a fascinating anomaly. If you have a regular group of friends, love Lovecraft, and don't mind rough technical edges or the occasional unfair slap from the game's design, you'll experience some of the most intense horror moments of the year in its jungle setting. However, for solo players and those looking for a polished experience, it's difficult to recommend in its current state. The potential is enormous, but the execution falls frustratingly short.

If you enjoy folklore infused with horror elements and a rural atmosphere, there's no reason to hesitate. Scarlet Dear Inn could also appeal to fans of narrative-driven adventure games, although they may be expecting an even stronger emphasis on the story.
