Forgotten but Unbroken comes with an interesting setting and an ambitious concept that promises a combination of turn-based action and strategy building. Unfortunately, it suffers from a lack of variety, a weaker story and dated graphics. Stable optimization and quality audio do lift the game, but they are not enough to overcome its repetitive gameplay and other shortcomings.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership succesfully brings back the charm of this good old RPG series after whopping 11 years. And they did it with grace, especially for a new studio that replaced the original AlphaDream.

Fitness Boxing 3 won't turn you into the next Rocky Balboa, but it's sure to give you the motivation you need for a fun every day workout. If you like to excercise from the comfort of your home and don't mind the occasional motion detection bug, you'll really appreciate this glorified fitness app.

At its core, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is an awfully good game with a solid story, an awesome atmosphere of the Zone, and generally great gameplay. Audiovisually, it's a beautiful game, and its gameplay mechanics, along with its higher difficulty, won't give you anything for free. Excellent! If only it weren't knocked off its imaginary pedestal by some pretty serious technical issues, ranging from not-so-good optimization to pretty major bugs, game crashes, inability to complete quests and other flaws that simply ruin this otherwise great experience.

The Sims 4 Life and Death add-on introduces engaging mechanics like ghost afterlife, reincarnation, and realistic features like inheritance and funerals. Romanian-inspired buildings add charm to the expansion. However, the reaper career feels repetitive and suffers from a bug hindering progression.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is not aimed at loyal fans of the series but rather at younger gamers or those playing their first RPG. The game is crafted very solidly but uses many RPG elements very superficially.

Although I was expecting more emphasis on physics in this title, and I only got a fraction of it, I can't say that Farming Simulator 25 is a lousy title. I was most pleased with the new GPS and animal innovations. And I don't think I'll be the only one. We were all definitely expecting a more significant step forward. I believe there is still a lot to improve, and I really hope that in the next version, we will see some new features that will make us all sit on our asses. If the modders can do it, why can't the developers do it?

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a faithful adaptation of the 2017 Horizon Zero Dawn game. The title perfectly and humorously translates the story of a serious adventure game into a blocky adventure that engages with entertaining dialogue. The gameplay also attempts to be close to the original title. While it succeeds in many areas, more experienced players may find some frustrating mechanics in the combat, especially if they choose to play them on the harder difficulty. In any case, LEGO Horizon Adventures is an excellent gateway for young players into the immersive world of Horizon and a fairly enjoyable one-piece game for adult players.

Atlus presents Metaphor: ReFantazio, a JRPG with a captivating story, great music, and appeal for both seasoned and new players. While its aging engine and slow narrative pacing may deter some, the game offers a rich experience for those ready to invest many hours.

Factorio: Space Age is in a complicated segment. On the one hand, it's more of that Factorio we love so much. More of what we all wanted. On the other, there's untapped potential that could have really pushed the game the step forward it deserves. And unfortunately, that's not happening. There's nothing wrong with what the DLC offers. We find fault more in what's missing...

Life is Strange: Double Exposure seeks to follow in the footsteps of 2015's successful first installment. But rather than a glorious sequel, it's like a cheap copy of it. The story draws the player in with a very intriguing plot, but it doesn't have a satisfying or meaningful ending or a "proper version" of Maxine Caulfield. The protagonist resembles herself, but is a mere bystander rather than an actor. And that's not something we want from a continuation of her story. Double Exposure does come up with interesting gameplay mechanics and takes the graphics to a new level, but what good is a title when it fails in the two most important aspects that make Life is Strange Life is Strange: story and decisions?

Enotria: The Last Song is an enjoyable soulslike game with a beautiful world to explore, but poorly readable enemy animations will probably put many players off. If you're a die-hard soulslike game lover, you probably won't be impressed by this game. However, you won't be disappointed if you're happy with a mediocre experience.

In recent years, remakes have been held to significantly higher standards, and remaking something like Silent Hill 2 is a thankless job that could never satisfy everyone. And somehow, the Bloober Team managed to do precisely that. The game retains, almost word for word and room for room, everything that made the original so timeless and legendary and promises precisely the same experience it did all those years ago. At the same time, though, it's expanded to include entirely new locations or altered puzzles. Everything, however, completely respects the original, and I'm not afraid to say that when it comes to remaking an old game into a new one, Silent Hill 2 from Bloober Team sets a new bar.

Ara: History Untold is not "just" another Civilization clone, although it looks like one. It carries its core from that legendary series, but it also brings some interesting mechanics that expand the complexity to a new level. However, it does, on the contrary, languish in some parts, namely the political options. That will hopefully be fixed in time, though, because this foundation is more than solid.

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 is an incredibly good roguelike that does justice to the world of Warhammer 40,000. For fans of this legendary franchise, the game is an absolute must-play; for the rest of you, it's still a great title, but one that newcomers may find confusing. Either way, there's no denying that it's a well-crafted shooter that will keep you entertained for a couple of evenings, and even more so if you have friends with whom you can go through the campaign and the co-op missions.

Concord is visually beautiful, but that's about it. Not only did it launch at an unfortunate time during intense competition, but it also wasn’t afraid to set an unnecessarily high price. Players enjoy the 5v5 team brawling style, but it needed to bring something new, which it failed to do. The unprofessional behavior of some members of the Firewalk development team didn’t help either. All these missteps came together and, unfortunately, led to the very early termination of the Concord project.

Astro Bot doesn't break new grounds of platformers and collectathons. Whether it needs to is at the discretion of each player. The reality, however, is that this is a highly entertaining title from start to finish, taking us across diverse worlds with stunning audiovisuals as we try to save the other robots, half of which are inspired by the biggest and best-known PlayStation titles. Whether officially or not, Astro Bot is quite simply the mascot of PlayStation, and his new game proves it.

It could have been done better, but no harm had been committed. Age of Mythology bewitches you with visuals and atmosphere but keeps you under its spell by addictive gameplay, which hasn´t gotten old even after 22 years. It can surprise experienced players and newbies who have to taste the feeling when Titan turns the enemy´s fort into dust in a blink of an eye.

Black Myth: Wukong is a game that, while not without flaws, cannot be denied its above-average result. From the narrative to the audio-visual aspects, this is an adventure that fans of action RPGs should not miss. However, don't expect it to break new ground within the genre. There's no (r)evolution to be found here. But that doesn't matter when the result is still a game you can't get enough of even after finishing it.
