Frostpunk 2 is different that its predecessor. It too experiments with gameplay and tries to create a thrilling system of making difficult decisions, but the bigger scale of governing an entire region looks a bit uninished. Great potential to create a giant world was squandered, and the thing that generates most fun, is the policital system, not building your city.

Besides Nintendo there aren’n many companies developing big-budget platformers. Astro Bot is a part of a dying breed that delivers tons of pure dopamine shots. If games should first and foremost provide fun, then Astro Bot is a Game with a capital G.

The great success of Space Marine 2, which is the result of the combination of its visuals and gameplay, is the vibe not only of this very specific universe, but also of the very essence of what Space Marines are. The game is centred around what is most important in Warhammer 40k - grotesque violence treated with due severity, pathos and downright fanatical seriousness.

The two most important features of TDU: Solar Crown, namely the driving and the open world, are very well done. And the flaws? They are very serious, without question. However, probably all the shortcomings can be eliminated with updates. Not in a week, not in a month, maybe not even in a year - but it can be done.

In case of too many new games – break glass. Inside you will find Black Myth: Wukong. A great proposition among numerous game debuts of upcoming fall. It really is original, and stunning to look at, even though it’s not perfect.

The War Within is not a revolution, but a carefully planned evolution leading the game in a new direction. It’s impossible to predict wether World of Wacraft will reclaim its MMO throne. The game now is very good but only time will tell if Blizzard is capable of keeping it this way.

When you buy Emio: The Smiling Man, you get a solid visual novel with good detective work throughout the entire game. But I think the developers lost track of what they wanted when they mixed crime and drama storylines, and lost the crime along the way. Plus, the ending is weird, and characters are annoying.

Star Wars: Outlaws has flaws that are easy to forgive. You have to remember – this is a game for mass audience, younger gamers included, that has to provide joy to everyone dreaming of being inside their favorite universe. And Outlaws does this very well, with a cool idea for some open world fun.

I have several small, indie game series, that have never let me down. SteamWorld is one of them. Be it meroidvania, be it a jRPG with cards – all my advenures with steambots were at least good. SteamWorld Heist 2 confirms that rule, and I simply have to recommend this game.

I was really afraid that playing World of Goo 2 will immediately make my mind think „this is not the same game”. But it did not happen. What’s more I became hooked almost immediately. I can’t remember when I had so much pure joy when playing a game without being explicitly told what to do. An almost perfect sequel!

Nobody Wants to Die is yet anoher great narrative-driven game, similar to 2023’s The Invincible. And it is another proof that „walking simulators” shouldn’t be ignored – they are fit to tell great tales like no other genre. But remember – there is little gameplay here.

As long as the game is new and fresh, online play will thrive. But there is not much content here and I hope Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition will get new levels soon, because it really is a fun game and it would be a shame to lose it to boredom.

If you wanted more of the same ol’ same ol’ online Final Fantasy, this is what you’ll get. But I wanted something more. If Dawntrail is to be a new chapter, a potential start of a new saga, it needed a better opening, not this boring thing. Time will tell what will become of this.

Workers & Resources is a terrific builder. Very complicated, quite ugly, with a cluttered UI and an extremely complex network of mechanics and connections, that looks like something from a fever dream. But it drags you in and offers lots of saisfaction when something finally goes right.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD isn’t for everyone, although fans of cartoonish action-adventure games or Mario in general, should be happy. But if you’re neither of those two things, you’ll most likely bounce off of this game, because it’s many elements seem archaic.

Do you know what is the main strength of Shadow of the Erdtree? That after over 60 hours of trials and tribulations, and all the curses screamed at the screen, I want to keep playing. The expansion to Elden Ring is a complete piece of work that leaves you wanting more.

Still Wakes the Deep is a very capable walking simulator, but that’s it. No sparks of genius here. The game is quite monotonous, fortunately it delivers some fun with a unique setting and a really good, dramatic storyline that would fit a movie far better than a game.

This is a masterpiece of gaming with atmosphere so powerful, that the player forgets to breathe and absorbs the story with all their senses, unable to divert their eyes, and oblivious to the surrounding world. Terror and awe are constant during this phenomenal, but too short adventure.

Songs of Conquest is a true love letter to Heroes of Might & Magic. A game full of reasonable nostalgia and simply a great product worthy of your time. And it proves that this genre still has a place for new things without destroying its foundations.

Eugen Systems studio finally listened to the fans, let go of the World War II and created what is probably the definitive form of its vision of a tactical game about a conventional world war III. Will this be enough to keep the title of leader in its niche? Time will tell, after the success of Wargame there is no shortage of imitators, and WARNO is taking no risks to surprise with something new.
