Kirby Air Riders was a surprising breath of fresh air, and its plethora of game modes can keep you occupied for a long time. Pair that with great music and satisfying steering, and you’ve got yourself an exceptional little racing game.

Within the Prince of Persia series, The Rogue comes across as the poor relation. The idea of converting the game into a rogue-lite genre is not bad, but unfortunately, this implementation lacks the depth of story or gameplay to keep players engaged for an extended period. However, since its early access release, the developers have improved many aspects of the game, making it a slightly above-average title.

ARC Raiders offers a simple concept, but one that is refined down to the last detail. As an extraction shooter in PvPvE mode, it excels in its combination of action, strategy, chance, and luck, and especially in its incredibly entertaining gameplay loop. The story and quests aren't particularly original, but it's the amazing dynamics of the combat, the constant work with your inventory, resources, and equipment, and the currently sufficient amount of content that will convince you that "just one more round" won't be enough.

Anno 117: Pax Romana doesn’t seek to rewrite history, but it reminds us why this series remains one of the cornerstones of the city-building genre. With its innovative design, striking visuals, and unmistakable Roman charm, it’s a confident step forward. One that may not reinvent the empire, yet still captivates anyone eager to build and expand its glory. It’s not a perfect empire, but it’s one that feels truly worth building.

EA Sports FC 26 brings an exceptionally refined soccer simulation to the series, which it further divides into competitive and authentic modes, thereby clearly separating offline play from multiplayer. However, it buries its qualities under a dozen confusing menus, repetitive animations, and aggressive monetization. FC 26 tries so hard to be for everyone that it may actually be for no one. And that's the worst thing that can happen to a brand. However, fans of previous editions will be happy to continue with this year's edition.

Satisfactory masterfully steals familiar game mechanics, but doses them with a precision that rivals casino algorithms. It can torment your brain like few other games, but it can also reward you. It offers hundreds of hours of entertainment, combined with a level of suffering that you just can't tear yourself away from.

As a sequel to the famous vampire RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 failed miserably simply because it’s not an RPG. That was a bad decision. But that's far from the only flaw. The empty and boring city is replaced by gameplay that couldn't be more repetitive. The game forces you to just walk from place to place and talk to a handful of characters in linear dialogues. You can influence very little, and there is even less to experience. The story itself is actually fine, but it is suffocated by everything around it.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a great addition for fans of The Legend of Zelda universe and a more than decent title for those who enjoy the proven gameplay of the Dynasty Warriors series. For everyone else, it's a game that will entertain you for a few evenings, but it's definitely not a gold mine. It's a game that runs out of steam about halfway through. This is especially true given the repetitive content & enemies, as well as the fact that the number of different mechanics and characters gives the title a reasonably broad scope, but not much depth.

There’s nothing wrong with drawing inspiration. When creating Cronos: The New Dawn, the developers at Bloober Team leaned on the strengths of legendary names in the horror genre and infused the project with their own ideas. The result is an intriguing world with a distinctly Eastern European style. The story feels personal, and the action finally delivers some real substance. Cronos: The New Dawn will delight every fan of survival horror with its oppressive atmosphere, fear, and intense combat — but it will also frustrate you with its strict inventory system and a heroine who’s hard to connect with.

MGS Delta is a successful remake with a timeless story. The New/Legacy style choice appeals to veterans and newcomers alike. Only weakened by poor enemy AI.

Borderlands 4 is a good installment in the series. You'll enjoy a great combat system with a rich arsenal of weapons and choose from a bunch of interesting abilities. However, even though GearBox Software makes the most of its flagship brand's strengths, it fails to learn from its long-standing mistakes. These include repetitive level design and, above all, the title's inferior technical condition, which can spoil every other joyful moment of gameplay.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A promised a lush environment, a magical city, and fun Poké fights. It was unfortunately half-baked all of it, but the potential is there. We have high hopes for the next Legends game in the series.

Little Nightmares 3 is a solid continuation of the series, but it won't thrill many players because everything it offers is slightly worse than the previous installment. It's a good game, but average.

The Outer Worlds 2 feels like another season of a beloved TV series — only this time with a bigger budget. Everything you loved about the first game is here, but many of its problems and flaws have been fixed. If you’ve played Avowed, you can expect something very similar in terms of the game’s technical systems. And if you’re among those who complain about everything Obsidian has made since the days of New Vegas, you’ll probably complain about this too. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It delivered exactly what I hoped for, fixed what I criticized in the first installment, and the problematic moments weren’t big enough to spoil the experience. At the same time, if you haven’t played the original, there’s no need to — the story stands on its own, the characters are new, and the setting is entirely fresh, so the game works beautifully even by itself. But if you have played it, your return to this insane, corruption-soaked, corporation-ridden sci-fi world will be every bit as enjoyable as mine.

The newest entry into the Ninja Gaiden series aims to be accessible to new players by setting the established narrative aside. Gameplay is king here, and Platinum Games show once again that they know how to make arena brawlers. However, the game as a whole is dragged down by the constant reuse of basic enemies. Pacing takes a huge hit when you have to fight the same enemies for an hour after they have already become stale and boring.

After the fiasco of Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 6 returns to the roots of the series and brings an authentic atmosphere of modern warfare. Multiplayer is the main attraction – sophisticated maps, various game modes, and intense environmental destruction. The campaign is weaker, but it exists. The sound and graphics are top-notch, and the optimization is quite successful. Battlefield 6 offers a solid foundation and the fun that fans have been calling for, confirming that the series is back.

Keeper appears to be a picturesque walk through the countryside, but in reality, it has a much deeper meaning than it might seem. The story tells itself, and you don't need a single word to understand it. The individual chapters are unique, and the plot twists are so well constructed that the game won't let you catch your breath, and suddenly, you're at the end of this adventure.

LEGO Voyagers is an enjoyable and relaxing adventure where the journey is the destination. Undemanding and young players will enjoy it immensely. But experienced players who want a challenge and lots of action won't find much to offer in this title.

Lovers of tidiness, the bizarre, and perfectionism will surely appreciate the madness of this title. However, it is not for everyone, and the repetitiveness can easily become boring over time.

Silent Hill f takes risks, but that's a good thing. It leaves America behind to move the setting to the distant past and Japan. The result is a thoroughly authentic Japanese horror game. A horror whose themes may be more challenging for some players. And a horror that draws on Japanese myths, symbolism, and culture. However, it's also a horror that fans of the series, in particular, shouldn't overlook. It's an excellent action-adventure game that suffers from clunky combat mechanics, but this is compensated for by the overall atmosphere and storytelling.
