Darkest Dungeon 2 is a title that has successfully managed not to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor. The change to rogue-lite won't please all fans, though, as it takes away from the game's complexity. On the other hand, it will definitely please players who are more interested in experimentation.

LEGO 2K Drive is a failed spiritual sequel to LEGO Racers. You'll have fun, provided you're unpretentious and don't mind the repetitiveness and limited number of races you must repeatedly win to play out the story. If you play as a parent with a child, you can have an enjoyable time together. However, the absence of sharing your own creations among other players or racing with them in multiplayer is disappointing. Hardly anyone plays the multiplayer game, and local multiplayer in a split-screen is currently unplayable. The title offers nice graphics in a LEGO world style, imaginative power-ups, and car models but hides most of them behind microtransactions.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is one of those expansions you want to play. The expansion tells a great story, an epilogue to the second installment. You'll grow to like the characters very quickly, but in the case of Seika, you'll notice that the relationship she builds with Aloy is very rushed, resulting in vague dialogues.

Street Fighter 6 is a step forward in the fighting games genre—new mechanics, heroes, and accessibility for complete newcomers to the series. However, the novelty in the form of the World Tour turned out to be terrible. Outdated game design, uninteresting world, and quests. Although it could have been a significant part of the game that could have shot the genre to a new level, it's just a dud mode that feels like a completely different studio working on it.

Even though we are big Lord of the Rings fans, and we were afraid to start the game based on the preliminary negative feedback, it was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed the story so much that I hope to play Gollum's Adventures again. If only to explore the different decisions and endings.

If nothing else, Tears of the Kingdom proves how revolutionary Breath of the Wild was six years ago. The new installment doesn't attempt to redefine the series further or revolutionize game design. It both threads the path of its predecessor and improves upon it. And as it also proves, that sometimes you don't need anything more than that.

The Entropy Centre looks very similar to Portal. There are identical items and environments, but the time-rewinding mechanic is so unique and well-handled that you'll enjoy solving each room. The story may not be strong enough to carry you through the entire game, but luckily, when combined with the humor, you'll get a very original experience.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is an enjoyable detective metroidvania that impresses with its story and many exciting puzzles. However, the game suffers from minor bugs and overly excessive pathfinding.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is definitely a good action RPG. Once again, it proves that Riot Forge's collaboration with talented developers makes sense, and they can bring stories from the world of League of Legends in a novel way. Still, the levels are often straightforward and would benefit from some additional filler. Because of this, The Mageseeker feels like it hasn't lived up to its full potential.

Redfall, simply put, is a disappointment. What else can be said? In the end, uninteresting gameplay, untapped potential, boring or first-rate systems... We don't know what went wrong in Arkane Austin. But this really isn't the game we expected from them. Or anyone, for that matter.

Overall, the DLC has lived up to expectations, which is invalid with recent expansions. It dramatically diversifies the gameplay and adds to the realism. The milestone system, which works like memories, should be highlighted. For younger sims, it serves as an indicator of what they already know and what they can still learn. The supplement can be recommended to both existing players and new players.

The Dakar Desert Rally has much potential and won't let you down with its graphics or progression system. However, its driving model is below average, and the title fails to handle the arcade style properly it partly attempts. With flaws in the most critical aspect of a racing game, it isn't easy to recommend.

At first glance, Have a Nice Death looks like another excellent rogue-lite action platformer. But the problem is that it can't balance the difficulty properly and doesn't bring anything new to the table, so it feels pretty average.

The Last Spell is an excellent title for long evenings. It's frustrating in places, but it's also fair and can be rewarding. The great rock music and the pixelated graphics help make this one of the best indie efforts of the year, at least for now.

Minecraft Legends presented itself as a giant world offering much space to explore its surroundings. We had various environments full of wildlife to look forward to. It was a great adventure that was supposed to leave us in awe and an excellent system for devising new strategies. But everything the game offers in its current state is more of a taste of what it could evolve into. The combat will provide fun for a while, but once you find one strategy that works, you don't need to invent anything else. That's not true of the PvP mode, which will offer some exciting battles thanks to the different players.

Dead Island 2 is a straight-up Hollywood ride. We are supported by a "flash" system that creates a symphony of destruction with every strike. The reactive environment highlights this symphony we can use for our destruction. This is primarily thanks to the reactions of electricity and fire. Unfortunately, there are scripted gameplay and procedures behind the RPG elements and the open world. However, these adverse facts did not prevent us from enjoying the game.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened combines a faithful remake of the 2007 game and a sequel that builds on the previous entry, Chapter One. The picturesque island is swapped for a horror setting inspired by the underworld, the occult, and, most importantly, H.P. Lovecraft, where a seemingly simple case is set and gradually unravels through the gameplay experience.

Deceive Inc. is a great surprise that could start a new Battle Royale game. Most of the time, the game will push you to the following goals. And you will feel like a real agent who needs to steal a valuable item. With so many options, the game will keep you entertained, and you will want to play repeatedly, trying different strategies and discovering the agents' abilities. Fresh from release, the game still needs more content. But now, something new is coming, so hopefully, the developers won't fall asleep.

Crime Boss: Rockay City didn't live up to its potential. There are a lot of flaws in the game, and a lot of elements feel unpolished. Still, it will find its fans.

My Dream Setup is an extremely simple game whose goal is to build any room you want and manages to entertain even non-believing players. It's not a world-changing title, but it's a delightful little experience.
