Alan Wake 2 seems more like a triumph of technology. Remedy has put immense resources and assets at its disposal and used those strengths to earn widespread acclaim for Alan Wake 2. However, I wish the game would shine from the perspective in which it originally excelled, allowing Alan Wake to receive the praise he deserves for the story he penned.

Ghostrunner 2 is a near flawless sequel that retains all the outstanding aspects of its predecessor, while making significant improvements to the level design and gameplay. Even more satisfying are the two non-linear, sandbox-style levels that expand the world both inside and outside of Dharma City.

Cities: Skylines II is a game that's ahead of its time in terms of both gameplay and hardware demands. It has taken significant steps forward in terms of quality, gameplay, and detail compared to its predecessor, although this comes at the expense of very demanding system requirements. In an era where city-building simulations are becoming increasingly scarce, Cities: Skylines II remains the top choice for fans of city-building simulation.

Whether you play solo or in co-op, Wizard with a Gun will offer you moments of pure enjoyment. It combines various intriguing mechanics to craft a distinct adventure of random exploration. The concept of blending highly customizable firearms with magic elements is a promising one, and the game successfully delivers on it. Regrettably, the overall gameplay can become somewhat repetitive.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 shows steady improvement while trimming the excess. If you appreciate smooth and thrilling combat, outstanding web-swinging and flying, as well as superhero storytelling, then it's unquestionably a must-play title.

Lords of the Fallen is probably the closest game to the Dark Souls series. Its unique world-switching mechanic, resurrection upon death, and bonfire-building features show the development team's deep understanding of Souls game design.

The reboot of Forza Motorsport has been a success. Its extensive support options and accessibility settings make it perhaps the most suitable racing game for beginners. The changes to the gameplay and rules also make for a more realistic racing experience. Unfortunately, this long-awaited six-year wait has failed to fully showcase its highlights.

Assassin's Creed Mirage simplifies the complex systems of the mythological trilogy and returns to the solemn, dignified atmosphere of AC1. If you miss the Assassin's Creed before the mythological trilogy, Mirage is a must-play. It will rekindle the sense of wonder and emotion that the series used to provide.

As the latest game in the Ys series, Ys X: Nordics doesn't stray far from the familiar formula. It takes a cautious approach, delivering a JRPG experience of consistent quality that lasts around 30-40 hours. If you're looking for a return to a classic RPG adventure with well-rounded combat, systems and gameplay, or if you have a deep affection for the Ys series, then this game will certainly meet your expectations.

Wargroove 2 feels more like a big DLC. The game systems have hardly been improved and there are very few new units and commanders. Fortunately, the Campaign mode offers a substantial amount of content with improved quality compared to the previous game. While the roguelike mode offers a fresh experience, the actual enjoyment of the game is somewhat limited.

Let's School features a detailed school building system. You can indulge in the pleasures of classic simulation management games and enjoy looking after students, which may bring back memories of your own school days. However, the game's replayability are limited.

EA Sports FC 24 takes a cautious approach and focuses on further improving realism. Female players will play a more prominent role in the Ultimate Team mode, bringing some changes to this popular content. Unfortunately, as a new game, it lacks significant innovation compared to FIFA 23.

The Crew Motorfest may not be as flamboyant as Need for Speed or as open-ended as Forza Horizon, but Ivory Tower Studios, the developers behind the series, are clearly aiming for more than mediocrity. In an era dominated by Forza Horizon, they provide another option for the casual racing enthusiast.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has done well within its existing framework, improving on the original Cyberpunk 2077 in a number of ways. The main story is seamlessly integrated into Night City, while the side quests offer more variety and choice than the original. The 2.0 update has improved several systems, addressing some of the issues with the original mechanics, improving the gameplay and giving players a more satisfying experience.

With cute axolotls and a creative theme, AK-xolotl makes a fantastic first impression. Though the game's roguelike gameplay lacks depth, the challenging shmup keeps you enjoying this wildly imaginative journey.

Boti: Byteland Overclocked may not offer groundbreaking gameplay, but it effectively integrates its theme into the level design and storytelling. Whether you play alone or with friends, you'll find yourself immersed in the joyful world of Byteland.

In the Souls-like genre, Lies of P definitely stands out. It skilfully captures the unique essence of the Dark Souls series and expands on it with features such as the weapon modification system. However, the level design and boss fights play it fairly simple, and the lies that should have been a core element don't shine as brightly as expected.

Starfield is a masterpiece that unites the creativity and experience that Bethesda has built up over the years. Even after hundreds of hours of play, there is still fresh content waiting to be discovered. Just as TESV and Fallout 4 still have players making modules and discussing details, I believe that ten years from now, there will still be a large number of players who will be travelling in the universe created by Starfield.

Blasphemous 2 has an excellent world shaping, combat system and level design that come together to create this impressive and unique experience. It does take the lessons learnt from the previous game and delivers an excellent result.

Immortals of Aveum has a unique magic-shooter gameplay, and many skills to go along with it that help the player fight a gorgeous and fluid battle. But other than that it's pretty mediocre in terms of both plot and level design.
