Cronos: the New Dawn features an interestingly designed world and a proven gameplay model, which benefits greatly from being set in Krakow's Nowa Huta district, but it is clear that the team does not yet have experience with action-oriented games. Horror fans can safely give this new title from Poland a chance.

I can add Hell is Us to the list of games that took me by surprise. I was expecting another overhyped mediocrity with unfulfilled promises. What I got was the complete opposite of my expectations.

Lost Soul Aside is a game that can impress with its spectacular combat system and impressive boss battles, but otherwise it is full of simplifications and unfinished elements. The plot often loses its logic, exploration disappoints with its corridor-like structure and technical errors, and the graphics are stuck in the PlayStation 4 era. Advertised and priced as a AAA title, the game is actually closer to a mediocre AA title. It's a game that may satisfy fans of dynamic action, but in a broader context, it's hard not to call it a big disappointment.

Gears of War: Reloaded is more than a remaster, not quite enough to call it a full remake, but at the same time, it's a return to a great game. You can expect a good, intense story, a great multiplayer mode, and lots of visual improvements. It's worth returning to this adventure before the release of Gears of War: E-Day, or starting your adventure with the universe with this installment. Microsoft once again delivers a strong offering for 2025.

Mafia: The Old Country may not be the best installment in the series, but it is definitely one that should be played by fans of the first two installments of the franchise, as well as people who like gangster adventures full of twists and turns and a plot that keeps you in suspense until the end credits.

Donkey Kong Bananza, however, is a fantastic production that shows how Nintendo can take advantage of the new platform's capabilities to provide great fun.

In 2019, Hideo Kojima surprised the world with the story of the courier, only to continue his story a few years later. Death Stranding 2 is a game for Sam's fans who want to know his further fate. Give yourself to the story of the story, the characters and the world.

In The Alters played almost everything. For me, it is unquestionably the best game from studio 11 bit!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been hailed by many players as the "ultimate Mario Kart," but Nintendo just needed a little more power and time to show that the fun was just beginning. Mario Kart World is a deep and expansive game that will delight drivers... regardless of age. It may not have the same "wow" factor, and it could use another mode, but ultimately? You won't want to leave your console.

It's unforgiving, can be tiring, and sometimes once it grabs you, it won't let go... and I'm not talking about your beloved. The First Berserker: Khazan is a demanding pleasure for the persistent. It lacks the scale we've admired in From Software's latest titles, but I wholeheartedly recommend this title to all Souls fans. For everyone else? It probably shouldn't bother.

“Elden Ring: Nightreign” offers addictive, rewarding gameplay for fans of hitting challenging bosses, but only if you play with two other people who understand the game, and even then the high difficulty level and the typically corny losing of up to 50 minutes of gameplay without any progression can get on your nerves.

Well, I was fooled by the enthusiastic announcements. Blades of Fire revolves around mediocrity. Sometimes it rises above them, sometimes it scrubs the bottom with its nose.

Captain America in a world of demons? DOOM: The Dark Ages does not revolutionize the series, but it offers extremely enjoyable gameplay. Satisfaction flows in liters, as does the blood of defeated enemies. There is spectacle.

The score refers only to the quality of the remaster and technical condition. Oblivion itself is still an outstanding RPG, but the PS5 version needs a lot of patches to start working properly. Well, and it's a shame that there are basically no differences between the edition for the regular PS5 and the PS5 Pro. The quality mode is useless, and the game dumping to the main menu is some kind of unpleasant joke. I will point out, however, that when everything works well, the game plays wonderfully, and the quality of the visuals can sometimes literally “blow you out of your slippers.”

Maybe Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a bit of an odd title for a game. However, the production itself surprises positively and is worth recommending even to old jRPG expeirants.

Amerzone is back and reminds us why we loved Benoit Sokal's games. This is a truly unique, intimate and beautiful adventure that is genuinely hard to walk away from.

Steel Seed is hard to pigeonhole into a specific genre, but thanks to its heavy sci-fi atmosphere it plays brilliantly. Admittedly, we won't find anything innovative here, but the game defends itself as a whole. It is worth giving it a chance especially if you have a taste for futuristic, post-apocalyptic climates.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a meticulously designed Soulslike 2.5D game that delights with its atmosphere, depth of mechanics and extensive character development system, but requires patience and determination from the player. The combat is challenging and rewarding, the exploration is rewarding, and the gothic setting and excellent sound complement the whole. On the other hand, the story is not very engaging, the magic system is more frustrating in the first hours of the game, and the scale of the talent tree can be overwhelming at times. This is a game not for everyone - but if you give it time, it will repay you with something truly unique.

Tempest Rising is a game lifted alive from the 1990s, but with contemporary ambitions and modern visuals. Unfortunately, my heart, as a Red Alert 2 fan, took a very uneven beating at times. Despite the beautiful packaging and solid foundation, too many minor flaws and untapped potentials weigh on this strategy. However, for a fan of classic RTSs - this is still an item worth checking out.

The #DRIVE Rally impresses with its graphics and driving model, but disappoints with its lack of depth. It's a game for younger players or for a short session - 15 minutes and that's enough. Beautiful, but rather empty. With interesting music, but still problems with engaging content. On paper it looks impressive, in practice it still needs refinement. However, mainly only 5 people worked on the game, and despite everything it should be appreciated for many aspects.
