Farthest Frontier is a game that can be both relaxing and challenging if the players want it so. The lovers of measured city building gameplay can find it very appealing, as each action is rewarding in both visual and gameplay sides. However, for a strategy game it doesn't have enough varieties for military or offensive building, thus hardcore fighters shouldn't judge it harshly. Overall, the game has potential to win over even more players than it already did in Earle Access, taking the place among other famous representatives of the genre. It has a lot to offer and even more potential to grow further.
Dying Light: The Beast is a ghost of a great franchise, competently executed but lacking the spark that once made it special. The game lacks the pioneering audacity of the original, and lacks the narrative ambition of the sequel. It's a grind that, despite its apparent dynamism, leads nowhere. On top of all this, the game was extremely rough at release, and some of its bugs remain unfixed.
Little Nightmares 3 is a worthy continuation of the series. It will definitely appeal to horror fans, as well as those who didn't particularly like the previous installments, and those who will play it solely for the co-op mode.
Borderlands 4! Still crazy. Still cool. This successful sequel learns from the mistakes of the past. It builds on the strengths of the series, such as loot hunting, responsive shooting and memorable character interactions. Despite some flaws, it offers a fun and exciting co-op experience.
Silksong can be considered an excellent and even exemplary Metroidvania. It is damn nice to play while exploring every picturesque corner of the teeming world. It is gorgeously structured, the modified role-playing system, although it has become a little less diverse, is still pleasant. And the rebalanced battles of the sequel, each duel in which resembles a rhythmic dance, cause an influx of adrenaline. However, the game is not without its flaws.
In Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, his name appears on the screen more often than in the original. The gameplay has been perfectly preserved, and MGS3 has never looked more luxurious graphically.
The King is Watching is one of the most addictive roguelite strategies of this year. It has excellent visuals, humor and variability in settlement development. So far the game has problems with randomness and balance, but this only makes the playthrough more interesting.
Look Outside is an extremely original project and gameplay-rich masterpiece created in just half a year. The game offers deep narrative, a great variety of actions and possibilities, a multitude of endings, and much more. It is capable of delivering many indescribable emotions that are worth experiencing for yourself.
The latest Sims 4 Expansion Pack left a positive but slightly surprised impression. Enchanted by Nature could have benefited from a bit less enchantment and a bit more nature. Sometimes it feels like the central pillar of the pack was supposed to be Fairies, and then everything was built up around them as a way to include non-Fairy Sims and add more content, but it feels somewhat lacking.
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream sets an impressively high bar from the opening moments and consistently maintains it throughout the experience. It perfectly caters to fans of both stealth mechanics and narrative-driven games, delivering exceptional quality in both aspects. The deeply personal story hooks players with its compelling mysteries and shocking twists, while the tense, challenging gameplay keeps you engaged session after session. What makes this adventure truly memorable is its emotional alchemy - endearing characters, subtle humor, and dark motivations blend together to create something special.
Despite its flaws, Firebreak is not to be dismissed. It has an interesting and engaging core. Its recognizable style, numerous crazy ideas, and constantly changing mission context could make the project vibrant and unique with serious refinement. But right now, it feels rushed. The balance needs a thorough overhaul, and the missions need tweaking to encourage player retention. For now, it's an interesting failure with enormous potential.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - Lex Imperialis does not lower the bar set by Void Shadows. It seamlessly integrates into the main story, showing unexpected twists and turns, and expanding the Lord Captain's world. While there were some minor graphic glitches, it is absolutely a reason for another full run, to get the most out of the new experience.
The creators of Sifu have made a game even for those who don't like sports. In mid-April, testing of Rematch began, and at that time, the peak number of online players on Steam exceeded 120,000, and some gamers are already calling the new game the future of virtual football. As soon as the game is released, it has every chance of becoming the new gaming discovery of the year. Despite some minor flaws, REMACH is a game that definitely deserves attention. With these shortcomings addressed, it could become a real hit, winning the hearts of millions of players.
Doom: The Dark Ages is a good meaty shooter, but the change in the paradigm of the gameplay and its speed will not appeal to everyone. The fights are cinematic, impactful and beautiful, but instead of hurricane gameplay they now offer slow tactical bullet hell, and of course plenty of parrying with your shield.
Oblivion Remastered is undoubtedly a beautiful visual update of the classic. At the same time, the game hasn't got rid of its old flaws. NPCs still act like they're caught in a time trap, frozen in the time of the original. Bugs and technical issues are still a part of this world, which certainly detracts from the overall impression of the update.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a masterpiece of emotional storytelling, rich in atmosphere in which history and magic intertwine. The game is not afraid to ask hard questions and point out harsh truths, all the while featuring a gripping narrative, believable characters, and an impressive turn-based combat with some novel mechanics,
Tempest Rising brings a great deal of joy both in its mechanics and in the tactical component. However, it feels like the developers were too unsure to step away from the classic gameplay canvas when it comes to innovations.
Maliki: Poison of the Past offers a uniquely charming experience that captures the original spirit of the series. This lighthearted adventure blends ridiculous humor with genuinely serious themes, creating a distinctive atmosphere. While the action elements might not deliver pulse-pounding excitement, the game engages players through numerous other compelling aspects. It will undoubtedly earn its rightful place in genre fans' libraries, offering both newcomers and longtime fans plenty of reasons to fall in love with this universe - whether for the first time or all over again.
KARMA: The Dark World cannot be called a masterpiece: the gameplay is uneven, and the metaphorical plot is interrupted quite suddenly, as if the story is not told to the end. But it is definitely a worthy psychological thriller, which keeps you in suspense until the very end and cleverly plays with emotions, so much so that you get an uncomfortable feeling of being in this monstrous dystopia.
For non-fans, those not familiar with the anime series, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is an extremely controversial purchase. For fans of fighting, it is simply okay once you overcome the entry threshold.
