Fearmonium is a very addictive, moderately long metroidvania that will draw you in with an interesting plot and catchy aesthetics, both visual and audio.
Infinity Nikki is hardly a real competitor to Genshin Impact and others. Yes, the game may make a lot of money, but it will hardly achieve the same fame and popularity - Infinity Nikki has a narrow theme and the gameplay lacks challenge. But it's still a great and fresh game for the gacha genre - very friendly, relaxing and with its own atmosphere. And for once, it may even be able to appeal to the more stern of men - because sometimes they want to relax, look at girls in fancy dresses and drown in fluffy kittens.
MiSide is not just a gem, it is a masterpiece that features a stunning narrative and beautiful graphics. The developers invested not just the skills, but also their very souls into this game.
A genuinely enjoyable Alien title. Mix dread with delight and a mouth full of razor sharp fangs, and you're most of the way there. A solid entry in a franchise that fails as often as it succeeds. This mix retro future industrial design and Giger's monster don't reach the heights of Amanda Ripley's adventure, but Rogue Incursion still feels like a must buy for fans of the Xenomorph.
Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is certainly an interesting attempt to create an engaging RPG experience, both in gameplay and the rare setting for this genre. Board game enthusiasts can find this game worth playing, yet more casual RPG players might be turned off by its complicated battle and deck building, spiced by the amount of randomness.
Like the first game in the series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is far from perfect, with a host of problems, controversial gameplay choices, a ton of bugs, and an ever-present sense of haste and incompleteness. Even without taking into account the lack of tweaks and polish, it won't be to everyone's taste. But if you like the lingering atmosphere, the gritty, down-to-earth story, and the romance of the stalker's journey, then this is the Stalker you've been waiting for all these years.
While We Wait Here does not shine with advanced technology and is far from perfect. But it is definitely worth a try for fans of intriguing plots and surreal atmospheres. The mechanics of cooking and customer service immerse you in a strange, creepy and surprising story. The fates of the characters are emotional and the moral dilemmas are truly complex. Moreover, While We Wait Here is short (only 2-3 hours) but replayable. It's a great option in the 'story game for the evening' category, especially for a few pounds on Steam.
The Smurfs – Dreams is a nice, family-friendly platformer that can also be appealing to fans of the genre and co-op enthusiasts. Despite being short and having some optimization issues, its creative challenges and engaging mechanics make it an enjoyable adventure.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is first and foremost a game for fans of the franchise. Horror fans can also give it a try and even get some emotions and challenges, but I'm afraid they won't live to see the end credits and will quietly leave to find another place to tickle their nerves.
The developers have managed to preserve the atmosphere and mood of the iconic Silent Hill 2 while bringing it up to modern technical standards. Silent Hill 2 Remake is definitely one of the best games of the year.
An old school MMO dragged up to a modern standard. NCSoft and Amazon have a distinctly Korean fantasy adventure finessed for a global launch. The result is n enjoyable leap into a vibrant world that is more than worth the total cost of zero dollars down.
Overall, Ravenswatch is a decent game for those who enjoy co-operative action-RPGs and aren't afraid of the trials of a roguelike, but it lacks the polish and variety to qualify for top marks.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - Void Shadows is the best DLC content produced by Owlcat Games up to date. It is seamlessly integrated into the base game, and expands the world in a multitude of ways: from new reactivity to new characters, zones, and story. If you were looking for a reason to try out Rogue Trader or to start another playthrough, this is it.
Frostpunk 2 showed an entirely new side, partially becoming a simulator of political struggle in a post-apocalyptic world. The scale of the game became much larger, and, while it lost that personal touch of the first game, it brought the global problems of society to the fore. The big moral choices in the game are weighty, and the consequences can be terrifying
Get Beyond Galaxyland is a whole smorgasbord of nostalgic ideas that somehow doesn’t end up being a mess. It’s visually ambitious, taking a pixel art aesthetic and giving it cinematic scope without losing the essence of the idea. It wraps in writing and ideas that draw on Spielberg, Star Wars, and even a bit of Douglas Adams writing with a light-balanced tone that navigates dark turns and silly situations. Even in among all this, game mechanics stay true to the side-scrolling platformers of old, while throwing in bits of Pokémon, Final Fantasy, System Shock, and more, and it still feels original. Beyond Galaxyland is an impressive outing that I adored. Maybe it’s nostalgia, or maybe this really is worth your time.
Age of Mythology: Retold is a faithful remaster that lets players old and new experience the unique mix of base building, troop management, coupled with the control over heroes and monsters alike.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is an impressive remake of an already marvelous game. It features the story depth that is unusual for Disney, going beyond the confines of cartoonish fairy tales, while also paying the tribute to the company's classics. This is a mix that certainly deserves your attention.
A trip to Shibuya like you've never seen it before. Reynatis is a standout title that brings a bunch of inventive ideas together for an entertaining RPG. It's onyl a shame that the execution feels a little light. If you're aching to head back to the scramble and escape the daily bustle, then this intriguing commentery on how Japan see's istelf is worth picking up.
Satisfactory 1.0 delivers a rich and engaging experience that will appeal to players who enjoy games with problem-solving elements and creative freedom.
Cat Quest III is a short, fun game with simple but interesting combat that will keep you occupied for a few evenings. While largely a standalone, there are plenty of nods to the previous games in the series.
