In essence, Outcast: A New Beginning can be characterized as a game brimming with exceptionally promising ideas yet suffering from dismal execution.

Everything you'd anticipate from a revived classic is present in Contra: Operation Galuga, a game that successfully takes you back to the era of beloved gaming classics. Put simply, if you're an older gamer with fond memories of titles like these, you'll likely overlook some minor flaws and revel in the nostalgia that transports you back to your youth. On the other hand, if you're a bit younger, Contra: Operation Galuga might not stand out as an especially captivating title, as it targets a very specific audience of gamers with its visual style, music and gameplay. Despite this, Contra is a great video game and we're sure fans of the series will hold a special place in their heart for this one.

If you seek a gaming experience that encapsulates the anxiety and dread reminiscent of a horror movie, where you find yourself as nothing more than helpless prey awaiting capture, then The Outlast Trials is the perfect fit for you.

60 / 100 - The Thaumaturge
Mar 4, 2024

The Thaumaturge was one of the games that I was really looking forward to but ultimately, it failed to meet my expectations. Despite an interesting demon-taming concept, nice-looking visuals and an atmospheric setting, I found the story to be lacking with a very slow and dull presentation that made the game feel more like a chore than something enjoyable.

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game proves to be a highly commendable off-road simulation, providing enjoyment for those who appreciate off-road driving or, like myself, individuals seeking a novel gaming experience. The game excels at immersing players in the challenges of navigating harsh terrains, successfully drawing them into the world of off-road problem-solving.

65 / 100 - Skull and Bones
Feb 21, 2024

When a ten-year-old Assassin's Creed game proves to be a superior pirate experience compared to an actual pirate game which Skull and Bones is on paper, that only raises questions about the true nature of the latter.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 stands as a nearly perfect game that would undoubtedly receive a much higher rating and secure my Game of the Year title if only the developers had taken a more daring leap. Despite this, it remains one of the best games I've encountered this year and is a straightforward recommendation for both dedicated fans and casual gamers alike.

Gangs of Sherwood promises an abundance of enjoyment with its extensive array of specialised moves designed for all four playable characters and a combat system that is both enjoyable and addictive. However, the game grapples with a relatively thin and underdeveloped narrative, coupled with graphics that occasionally appear dated and, dare I say, unattractive.

Persona 5: Tactica stands out as a commendable turn-based RPG with intriguing and somewhat complex gameplay. However, it regrettably has the tendency to become monotonous due to repetitive elements over time.

75 / 100 - Starfield
Nov 14, 2023

In essence, if you're a fan of space adventures, compelling narratives, and in-depth exploration, Starfield is likely to provide you with all of that. However, it's advisable to approach the game with a degree of patience because, at least in my experience, especially as you reach the conclusion, it tends to provoke mixed reactions.

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle serves as an ideal game for spending a few enjoyable hours with friends and family or as a diversion from more serious and demanding gaming experiences. However, its repetitive gameplay can lead to frequent bouts of boredom, as it doesn't introduce many innovative ideas beyond the frantic key-hitting and rhythmic challenges across various tracks.

My Time at Sandrock is a relaxing and fun farming simulator but players will need to invest a decent amount of time to get to the part of the game where it becomes enjoyable. The inventory system is one of the best systems I have seen in a long time and the NPCs are interesting to interact with as every chat brings something new.
