The Forgotten City is a fantastic single-player narrative game that transports you, a modern-day person, to an ancient city presented in a stunning visual style and featuring a perfect gaming atmosphere. The game is reasonably priced, but knowledge of a foreign language is essential—as is the "Fatal Error" icon, which appeared all too frequently.

The Gunk is an enjoyable adventure game that draws players in with its strong emphasis on exploration and its beautiful setting. The story of the two main characters on the brink of bankruptcy builds gradually; while it has a few lackluster moments, it ultimately focuses on moral values. For an indie title, it’s a very well-made game, though it isn’t without its flaws. However, these aren’t so significant that they would outright spoil the entire experience for you.

Trash Sailors is loved by some and hated by others. This cooperative game offers an interesting concept with many colorful mechanics set against a stunning visual backdrop. Scavenging for trash as a source of resources necessary for survival has truly never been this much fun. However, the game suffers from clunky controls, an almost excessive effort to present players with a difficult challenge, and repetitiveness. Form your own opinion of Trash Sailors, because in this case, it’s an extremely subjective view.

Despite some initial confusion, The Serpent Rogue is a highly creative, dark-themed adventure for any intrepid explorer. The game offers a wide range of learning and crafting options in keeping with the main character’s role as an alchemist. While this visually appealing fantasy adventure may not appeal to survival game enthusiasts per se, it is above all a demanding title full of challenges. If you persevere and don’t give up after a few initial setbacks, you certainly won’t regret the time you’ve spent on the game. On the other hand, there are a few issues that still need to be worked on, so you might want to wait for the first patch.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth creates an intriguing atmosphere, and despite its cartoonish art style, the environment draws you into its world. The combination of various items and enemies will keep you playing this entertaining game for hours on end, and the desire to improve will keep you coming back for more. We realize this style of gameplay won’t be for everyone, but if the game has piqued your interest even a little, we recommend giving it a try.

Blade Assault is one of many pixel art roguelike games. It strives to be innovative, and in a sense, it succeeds. I enjoyed how the gameplay was enhanced by the elements, the chain of merchants was intriguing, and the wider selection of characters was a welcome addition. The biggest drawback, in my view, is the visual style, which, while nicely retro, feels too monotonous in the developers’ execution. This naturally has an impact on the overall gameplay as well. Blade Assault will certainly find its fan base, but it will likely be a niche one.

Trek to Yomi is a solid samurai-themed game, delivered in just the right doses. After a few hours of play, it offers a fairly satisfying story, complemented by a highly effective environment and design, along with a combat system that works well—provided you play it safe. It’s not a platformer version of Ghost of Tsushima, but rather a game with a surprising atmosphere and a loving nod to samurai films.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is simply a game that should be part of the entrance exam for a gamer’s license. Until you play it yourself, don’t read any reviews or watch any gameplay videos. SERIOUSLY, DON’T DO IT! Don’t be afraid to dive into the realm of advanced absurdity, accompanied by the pleasantly offensive humor of an exquisitely cynical narrator. I’m giving it a high rating simply because I can!

Foregone is certainly not a bad game, and I can definitely recommend it to fans of the genre. Unfortunately, compared to other games—such as the genre’s standout, Hollow Knight—it feels terribly ordinary, neither here nor there. As a quick little game, it serves its purpose perfectly. If you’re looking for some light-hearted fun in this genre, you should definitely give Foregone a try. However, if you want something more substantial, I’d recommend checking out other games like Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, and others.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is a great action game with an interesting premise, set in a fantastic world with beautiful graphics, a great sale price, a well-crafted story, and a few annoying bugs—all topped off with microtransactions. I've forgiven it, and you should too for just ten bucks.

Even though Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion has a few flaws, it’s not a waste of time, and I believe that spending a few hours in the world of animated plants could brighten someone’s day. It’s definitely the perfect game for a long train ride or a wait at the doctor’s office, especially if you pick it up for the Nintendo Switch.

Forts is a simple real-time strategy game where you build your own fortress in any shape you like, blow up the enemy’s, and might even accidentally break yours in half. Just like when you were a kid and could build your favorite models. However, the game is let down by its lackluster multiplayer mode, the near-total absence of music, and, above all, the fact that it gets repetitive very quickly.

Fling to the Finish is a cooperative game where you and your partner are connected by a rope and must navigate through levels or races together in a coordinated manner. The developers are still working on this game, improving it and adding new content, which is definitely a plus. To groups of 2–8 players, we say that this is definitely the game for you and will certainly keep you entertained for a short while. On the other hand, we do not recommend it at all for solo players.

NEKOPARA - Catboys Paradise is a relaxing experience for all fans of the series who have always wondered what the male cat versions would be like. What will surely please you most is that you can play the game completely free of charge, and it offers the quality of the classic NEKOPARA we all know so well, including detailed visuals, professional voice acting, and an engaging story. Unfortunately, we don’t get to learn much from it, as the creators don’t reveal much to us.

Superliminal plays with perspective and optical illusions brilliantly and brings a healthy dose of originality to the gaming market. Still, I feel that the developers didn’t fully realize the game’s potential, and their efforts to achieve variety weren’t entirely successful in every respect. For newcomers, this may be a good starting point, but more demanding veterans might be disappointed.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War performs very well on the Nintendo Switch. If you’re an experienced player on this console, you won’t have any trouble with the controls at first. Graphically, the game looks decent, with the X-ray mode and mild gore adding to the fun. Unfortunately, over time, the gameplay and everything else becomes somewhat monotonous. Still, it’s a very good title that I can recommend to all fans of zombie games.

I have to say that despite its simplicity, Hidden Folks really entertained me, and I can’t wait for the developers to add more images or create a new game. After finishing the game, you can sign up for a newsletter about new levels, which I didn’t hesitate to do. You can also play it on mobile devices. It’s perfect for killing time on public transit or in the bathroom, but playing on a phone can be a bit limiting due to the smaller screen. When searching through the largest images, you’ll appreciate the overview a large monitor provides. The only downside I see is that you can’t start a new game without deleting your previous progress (the Steam version). So if multiple players are using the same account, you have to take turns.

Rust is a game you’ll both love and hate. You’ll love it when you manage to outsmart an opponent and strip them of everything, and hate it when the same thing happens to you. However, I’d recommend that new players don’t give up, stick with it, and success will come sooner or later. I do recommend taking about a week off, though, because learning the game mechanics will take you several hours—or even dozens of hours. And at least while you’re learning Rust, I’d definitely skip the official servers, as well as any servers with a population over 150 players and servers with maps smaller than 3,500, so you don’t get crushed right from the start. Studying the game’s basic mechanics, such as mining, building, and the like, is an absolute must, because no one is going to go easy on you. In any case, you’ll have a blast if you stick with it. Happy hunting!

Brawlhalla is the perfect game for LAN parties, geek sessions, or letting off steam after a tough day at work. Everyone will have fun, regardless of age or experience. Stunning graphics, plenty of rewards, skins, and other in-game content are a given. Updates are released at least every three months, so not only is the gameplay itself dynamic, but it’s also clear that the developers are striving to provide the best possible user experience.

In conclusion, I’d describe Volcanoids as a survival game, but one that’s different from the other survival games you’re familiar with. Survival here doesn’t depend on having enough food and drinking water, but rather on upgrading your equipment and your drill. So you can have fun with your friends while playing, but you’ll also have to work up a sweat completing various missions from your captain.
