Bigger and more polished, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is exactly what I expected from a sequel to one of my favorite RPGs. Its system heavy approach turns even the most mundane action something special. It’s one of those rare games that you will dedicate hours and hours and feel like you only scratched the surface of it. Although its main quest still has some pacing issues, it’s a must play for any RPG fan.

“Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders” is a big improvement from Megagon Industries previous game in some areas, not so much in others. While it captures the spirit of “Lonely Mountains: Downhill”, I do miss the more challenging objectives – replaced with an online focused run mode. I hope they bring it back in later updates.

After almost a decade, “Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero” showcases the best parts of the “golden era” of NIS, in which the developer tried more unorthodox approaches to strategy RPGs. Its story its simple, childish sometimes. Its systems deep and complex. If you want a game to spend a massive amount of time grinding, creating some of the most broken and brilliant builds, this one is for you. Also, its one of the very few games where you can defeat a boss by beating them up with a fish.

Game Studio pays a high price to try to piece together both an extraction shooter and story focused game. While its fun during its first couple of runs, the lack of enemy variety and the extremely linear solo missions are unfulfilling.

Close to 10 years since its debut in the VITA, “Freedom Wars Remastered” showcases how much Dimps was ahead of the curve when it comes to core gameplay and great online features. It’s more than a cult classic, it’s a must have for any player even slightly interested in games similar to Monster Hunter.

“Empire of the Ants” is a solid strategy title, sadly, its narrative focused campaign drags on for far too long and adds unecessary platforming elements. Pick it up for the skirmishes against AI and to play with friends.

“Stellaris: Grand Archives” manages to balance new mechanics, appealing events and new ways to expand your empire. Even though it adds an extra layer of micromanagement, it’s a great addition to an already great game. Space is weird and full of unknown creatures, and Paradox finally embraces this idea.

“Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven” is an astounding accomplishment in how to create a remake while retaining the original game intent while also making it more approachable to newcomers. It deserved more attention in 1993, and it’s a must play in 2024.

No amount of worldbuilding, which “Unknown 9: Awakening” has in droves, can make up for the fact that at the end of the day its main storyline is extremely predictable. Paired with a repetitive and unrewarding combat and stealth systems, its hard to recommend unless you want to take on pretty sights and gather (very well written) collectibles.

“Dimps” combat mechanics is what carries “Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream”’s middling plot, repetitive quests and an undercooked free roam mode. There’s a lot to love if you played every “Sword Art Online” game, but sadly, I am not one of them.

“Mechwarrior 5: Clans” is a labor of love from fans by fans. You might not get some plot points due to its story being so embedded in Battletech Lore, but the action-packed missions and a departure from procedural generated maps makes it worth the time. Just don’t expect to learn everything from the get-go. It’s learning curve can be steep and you better get ready to lose a couple, or a lot of missions.

“Apartment Story” is a fantastic tale about our lives routine, monotony and the struggle to be an adult in the mid 2020s. It’s a strong showcase of how hard life can be, but if you look deep into it, you will find moments of peace, love and that every decision – no matter how big or small – will have an outcome in your life. You wont always be ready for it, but that’s okay. That is life, after all.

“Monster Jam Showdown” excels when it comes to gameplay and pure spectacle, but Milestone’s attempt on revitalizing the franchise falls short due to its claustrophobic offroad maps, poor AI and uninteresting reward system. Here’s hoping that the team can turn this boat around and it becomes a gem like “Hot Wheels Unleashed”.

With some extremely highs, but also very lows, “Sumerian Six” carries on the spirit of the stealth genre left by Mimimi Productions. Although a bit too easy sometimes, it has enough charm and beautiful vistas for you to experiment with crazy tactics, and, of course, punch nazis.

“Phantom Spark” is an Absolute showcase of how to build a game entirely focused on time trials while not making the player feel frustrated. Ghosts is pure bliss for those Looking for some mighty challenge and chasing the perfect line for hours on end. A must have for any racing fan.

Mystery, drama, flirting, and a lot of backstage stress. “The Crush House” embraces the idea of “15 minutes of fame” and how easy it for it to crumble. A very interesting — perhaps almost unique look into one of the most dominant TV genre in the past 20 years.

“Noreya: The Gold Project” is almost at odds with itself when it comes to be or not to be a metroidvania. Although shorter than most games in the genre – which is a blessing nowadays – Dreamirl prioritized platforming and visuals over a more in-depth combat system. It’s a must for those who wants to enjoy some fantastic visuals, but unremarkable other than that.

“Dynasties” completely revamps “Total War: Pharaoh” in such ways that it feels like an entire new game. Major improvements on Diplomacy, combat, a new and much bigger map that spans the entire Aegean are the tip of the iceberg. Creative Assembly turned the boat around and, to me, it established a new standard for the Total War franchise.

“Forges of Corruption” takes the best part of “Boltgun” and fits into a fantastic 5 mission campaign. Auroch Digital showcases that it learned a lot from the main campaign with missions that have better pacing, more enemy variety and verticality. I’m eagerly waiting for “Boltgun 2”

“The Rogue Prince of Persia” already shows an impressive foundation with a good variety of moves, cool enemies and a fantastic progression that kept me wanting for more. “Evil Empire” has a gem on its hands, and I can’t wait to see it even more polished.
