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.

Star Wars Outlaws is an action-adventure game that, on the one hand, brings good and fresh ideas, but on the other hand, copies the same practices as every other Ubisoft game. While the game manages to create a vibrant world that any Star Wars fan will love as well as a fun reputation system, it flounders on generic gameplay and one-size-fits-all template quests. If you haven't played a game from Ubisoft in so long, you'll probably have fun. But if you're looking for anything more, Star Wars Outlaws simply isn't it.

You can play this first-person title in both single-player and three-player co-op. You'll also enjoy hundreds of hours of fun, and if you like a challenge, you've come to the right place because challenge is the right word for your nerves.

The Sims 4: Lovestruck has definitely lived up to its name. It brings dynamic romantic relationships, deeper sim personalities and more sophisticated dating to the game. The world is beautiful, colourful and breathing its Mexican atmosphere, plus the name literally means City of Love. Unfortunately, however, it's really narrowly focused and all the features are relatively easy and quick to explore, so it should definitely belong in the lower price range of a game pack and not as a big expansion.

Hairdresser Simulator is a relaxing game that realistically portrays the work of a hairdresser and a barber. The casual aspect is handled well. Its mechanics are simple and the hair texture adjustments are nice to look at. On the other hand, it offers almost no challenge and quickly becomes repetitive. Despite hotfixes being released, the game still has a lot of technical issues, from bugs and the lighting not working to missing textures and frequent crashes. Evidently, the developers had many interesting ideas, but their implementation isn't quite polished.

Creatures of Ava is a lovely and soothing exploration game that you will be happy to play. The pleasant tones combined with the lovely music will relax you and you will enjoy the peace you didn't even know you needed. At the same time, you must save the planet Ava from the withering disease before it destroys all living things. This involves coaxing the inhabitants of Naam, who are united with the planet and unconcerned about some mass extinction. However, the entire game is plagued by pervasive bugs, uncollision textures and sometimes you'll just have to reset it.

Biomorph manages to combine the classic Metroidvania formula with just enough of a twist to make an interesting game of this genre in 2024.

Nobody Wants to Die is a great walking simulator set in an interesting dystopian world. It has its flaws—and frankly, we could easily see how the game could have become something more than "just" a walking simulator—but it's still a title we don't recommend passing up.
