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.

Pepper Grinder is exactly the game you turn on when you have a long moment and get everything you want. No complicated story, short and quick levels in cute graphics, while you can always go back and hone your skills to perfection. The different game mechanics can spice up the experience of each level, but they get boring very quickly and then lose their charm. Plus, it's a relatively short game that you'll quickly devour, unless you're trying to play everything at 100%. That will take a while.

The Thaumaturge is a game that focuses mainly on its story. From the start, it captures your attention with its links to history, magic, and Slavic folklore. The characters are well-written, but the whole experience is spoiled by monotonous dubbing and almost no facial expressions. The streets of Warsaw are far too quiet, and without the option to travel fast, you'll spend far too much time in them. However, the city is very well crafted, along with the overall design of the characters and solutions. Uncovering people's secrets through perception is interesting, but the fights are more entertaining, with the need to change your tactics based on your opponents. The game includes dialogue options that significantly impact relationships with people and the events in the story. This will make you want to return to the title and try out the different playthrough options.

Persona 3 Reload is the remake that every game deserves. The title doesn't try to alter the game design frantically but instead carefully tweaks the audiovisual side of the game and slightly enriches its already unique gameplay. It offers an incredibly fun gameplay loop that even in the middle of the game comes up with new gameplay mechanics, and above all a great story and characters that you'll enjoy almost every dialogue with. While the game fails to eliminate all the oversteps of the original 2006 game, it mixes up as unique a recipe as you'll ever taste in the gaming world.

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a nice relaxing game you can play for a few hours. The game mechanics won't impress anyone, but it compensates with fantastic dubbing and imaginative humor. The Happy Broccoli Games studio created an intense film noir atmosphere with cute visuals. Solving cases as a duck detective will keep you entertained and make you wish that the game would get a sequel as soon as possible.

Nine Sols is an almost perfectly executed game. The story and its narrative may be a bit lacking in places, but that's made up for by the absolutely brilliant combat system, map design and stunning visuals and soundtrack. If you like a proper challenge, this 2D Dark Souls is a must play!

Workers and Resources: the Soviet Republic is certainly a great representative of builder strategies. It offers excellent complexity and replayability. It oozes the right atmosphere, both graphically and sonically. The free-play mode offers plenty of options for different settings, including a realistic mode. However, the complexity can also be frustrating, as the game can't always explain the workings of certain chains correctly, for example, in production, even though it includes information tables where the mechanics are described.

Shadow of the Erdtree is by no means a perfect expansion. For that, it would have to have a better ending, a final boss, avoid technical errors, repetition of some enemies, and maybe even add some extra weapons. However, that doesn't bring it down significantly from being a worthy expansion to the original game and something that its fans shouldn't miss under any conceivable circumstances. Because otherwise, it's a great experience. The level design is top notch and the atmosphere, story extensions and new weapon categories are absolutely brilliant. This 30-hour adventure is definitely worth it, just don't expect it to do much more than "just" add those 30 hours to the original game.

V Rising is a vampire title from Stunlock Studios, bringing an original theme to survival games. It offers an excellent experience for those who want to test their skills against other players and those who prefer to build in peace. It addresses issues plaguing other multiplayer survival games by offering players predefined rule sets to enter. We appreciate the dynamic adaptation throughout the game regarding equipment and spells. The fact that you play as a vampire is felt at every turn. The mechanics of sunburn and blood drinking are original and fun. Although Stunlock previously worked on smaller projects that unfortunately didn't last long in the spotlight, they now bring an entertaining game for several hundred hours.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake for Nintendo Switch is an amazing RPG remake that brought one of, if not THE best, Mario RPG to the modern system. Not only that, but they kept the original soul while adding many new quality-of-life additions.

Studio Charles Games is known for its unconventional games, which are unafraid of deep themes. Playing Kafka can once again be counted among these works. Although each person will have different feelings about the experience, all will take away a sense of the heavy ideas that Kafka uses in his works. You can influence the story, but only slightly. You'll keep asking yourself what you did wrong, what you could have done better, and how it all ended. The musical accompaniment adds to the experience, and the Czech dubbing adds an imaginary crown to it all.

The developers at Ninja Theory had a clear goal with Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. And they did it almost perfectly. The script of the amazingly crafted story is complemented by perfect acting performances and the entire audiovisuals, from sounds and music to graphics that will take your breath away. If this is precisely what you're looking for and liked the first game, then you know what you're getting into, and you definitely won't go wrong. It's a shame that it's more of a movie than a game. Because, as a game, it's languishing in many ways. Even as a walking simulator.

This game aimed to dig out of the depths of the gaming lore of "Wizardry 1" in a way that respected the original but still adapted the entire experience to modern times. It has undoubtedly succeeded. Players who want to conquer this forefather of the RPG genre will have to prepare a lot of patience.

Indika is a thrilling game with wild scenarios, well-integrated music, graphics, and gameplay. However, it's slightly marred by minor glitches during environment transitions and repetitive point-collecting mechanics.

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU impresses visually but falls short in gameplay. It struggles to manage its ambitions in the Metroidvania genre effectively. The game often feels overwhelmed by unnecessary ideas, suggesting a more straightforward, linear approach might have been more effective than its overstretched attempt to emulate successes like Ori and the Blind Forest.
