„Rolledrome” is like „Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” on steroids. Just put your roller skates on and shoot some enemies! All of that with fantastic OST from Electric Dragon and fancy graphic straight from “XIII”.

It's a battle for the souls and of the souls in Tokyo. And it's fun as hell. Although "GhostWire: Tokyo" is hardly treading new waters, Shinji Mikami's imagination alone elevates it to the level unattainable for many game designers. Deeply rooted in Japanese folklore, it perfectly balances action and adventure.

„Horizon: Forbidden West” is such a beauty. Not only because its terrific art design and technical prowess. The way it merges multilayered and deeply humanistic message with its aesthetical paradoxes and narrative flair - that’s what makes the difference. If only Guerilla Games didn’t measure itself by Ubisoft, making the game so damn unfocused.

„Halo: Infinite” is basically „Skyfall”. Neither a sequel nor reboot, it is simultaneously apologetic, nostalgic and forward-looking. But unlike in „Skyfall” being offensive to predecessors actually pays off in a big way and makes for fascinating journey to the roots of the genre. Yeah, with modern touch it’s not the same kind of magic. But I strongly doubt if the same exact kind of magic is something we should be wishing for.

Disjointed mess of a game „Battlefield 2042” is a latest entry in a franchise known for it’s crucial paradox: massive scale gels with tight, well-paced battle encounters. Except it doesn’t gel this time around. It’s more like Werner Herzog movie: you trek tirelessly through the mountains, forests and rivers and then get shot in the head by some chilled out dude with a sniper rifle. As Herzog would put it: „This universe is monstrously indifferent to the presence of man”.

If gaming industry was a family reunion, Rockstar would be unbearable neoliberal patriarch. Hideo Kojima would go as a pretentious cousin with film school diploma and degree in philosophy. „Call of Duty: Vanguard” on the other hand would be a heavy-drinking, wisecracking, jovial uncle who reminisces good ol’ war times, tells dad jokes and eventually makes a flatus ignition show with his zippo. It’s good to talk about virtues of art and have strong pacifistic beliefs. But parties without uncle are just boring.

What started on the Xbox 360 as an inconspicuous arcade side story has evolved over the years into one of the most important and best racing series in the market. Meanwhile, "Horizon 5" left the competition far behind and improved the crown of the king of arcade racing won three years ago. You won't find better and good-looking racing game right now on this or previous console generation.

Theme park is open: witness a genocide while riding a zipline! Despite unnerving paradox in the center of "Far Cry 6" (and all "Far Cry" games for that matter), latest in Ubisoft franchise is still fun - as far as Get-Ambushed-By-Wild-Roosters-While-Quoting-"Aliens" fun goes. If you come to terms with the fact that screenwriters didn't write anything substantial and guerrillas are not the heroes of our age, it'll be a blast.

MercurySteam did it again. “Metroid Dread” does an amazing job of mixing tradition with novelties and manages to add some fresh mechanics to the well known gameplay formula. Exploration is satisfying and intense while also give the sense of freedom and accomplishment to the player. Spanish team created a sequel for the “Fusion” that lives up to the its cult predecessor.

Life is not only strange, but also short, that's why Deck Nine puts Alex Chen in idyllic Haven Springs, where people are as nice as pie. So it's not another "me against the world" type of narrative, but a more collaborative effort. And that's good, which makes "True Colors" the best installment in the series since the first game.

Live, kill, die, repeat. Deathloop, as all looped in time stories do, manages to capture the very essence of the medium, its stylistic devices and thematic blueprints. Nowhere near masterpiece, it’s still swaggy, funky and constantly captivating experience with autothematic core. Don’t break the loop!

With a plethora of fantastic characters, an intriguing story, and a graphical refresh, Tales of Arise has taken my list of memorable games by storm. In the face of a JRPG market drought, reaching for the latest title from Bandai Namco Studios seems only natural. Especially now that it's been five years since the release of the previous game in the series and the changes made in this installment being a spectacular step forward in the development of the brand.

Have you ever had your heart broken by a girl named Ramlethal Valentine? That's how metal "Guilty Gear: Strive" is. Axel Bowie, Lemmy Hetfield and ZZ Cooper share a dream, while newbies and pros alike gather in a mosh pit and praise rewarding system, offbeat rythm and stunning art style. There's also another girl - brazilian cop of italian descent fighting for US President alongside phantom husky. Just take my money already.

It's utterly hilarious how difficult "Ninja Gaiden" games are and how Tomonobu Itagaki single handedly proves modern "too easy, too hard" discourse irrelevant. "Master Collection" is a decent remaster, but the question is: how hard will you push yourself to change this hellscape into a funhouse? On the other hand, home is where the heart lies. And my heart is right there, in the world of pain.

"Rift Apart" isn't just beautiful. Sunsets are. Chocolate soufflé is. Maybe siamese kittens too. Here, visual flair and unfathomable tech underneath the sparky, shiny surface constitute the greater experience. Stunning vistas, tremendous particle effects and Pixar-grade animation elevate the story and expand our imagination leading into pure, aesthetic ecstasy. Just look out for your feet - dropping jaw can be pretty damn heavy.

Biomutant is an ambitious title unnecessarily posing for an AAA one. Its vastness can make other studios envious at first, but it makes the game spread itself too thin.

"Village" is a rollercoaster rushing through a history of contemporary horror. And there's no stoping it. With its gorgeous landscapes, complex level design, visceral combat and constant thrills (cheap and sophisticated alike) it's a true testament to "Resident Evil" glory.

You’ll die. A lot. But then, you’ll stand up and go deeper into madness. Housemarque made a brilliant piece of code, elevating bullet hell genre to another level. Now, they can proudly stand among other AAA creators.

Thrilling and quite refreshing experience. Japanese folklore pours from every frame of this game. And it’s awesome!

Phantom Thieves strikes again. When dark forces are unleashed upon Japan, there’s no other way than to sit in your RV and kick enemies butts. All of this blessed with awesome music and fantastic gameplay.
