The Beekeeper’s Picnic may not dazzle with its originality, but it won’t disappoint fans of point-and-click adventure games or Sherlock Holmes books. The retro pixel art suits the game well, as does the relaxing music, which beautifully helps set the atmosphere of a quiet village in the 1920s. The story is simple but well-written, and as you play through it, you’ll encounter a number of characters who are easy to grow fond of. It feels even more lively thanks to the fact that the game is fully voiced, including minor NPCs with whom the player exchanges only a few words. It’s a short, fun game for a single afternoon that might benefit from more content or some slightly trickier puzzles, but in its current form, it’s enjoyable and certainly works well as a tribute to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Murky Divers by Embers is one of the most compelling cooperative horror games. Its original and oppressive setting and gameplay mechanics promise a deep and suspenseful experience. The emphasis on communication, resource management, and gradual progression adds long-term depth to the game, while procedural generation and submarines of varying sizes ensure high replayability. This game is primarily for fans of cooperative survival games who are looking for something more than just shooting zombies. If you’re drawn to the idea of diving into dark, unexplored depths where every sound could spell doom and every corpse you find raises questions you’d rather not know the answers to, then get ready. Just watch out for what lurks beneath the surface—and, above all, what might be hiding right behind you.

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is launching on Steam with big ambitions. On paper, it has everything a quality horde-survival roguelike should have—a captivating setting rooted in Norse mythology, diverse characters with unique abilities, sophisticated in-run and meta-progression, adrenaline-fueled battles against waves of enemies, and challenges in the form of powerful bosses. For fans of the roguelike action genre and Norse mythology who are looking for a visually stunning and dynamic experience, Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is definitely a title worth keeping an eye on. If Games Farm and ARTillery can live up to their potential and maintain high quality, we’re in for a great addition to the horde-survival game family—one that will keep us trapped among the hellish hordes of Helheim for hours on end.

The Book of Aaru is an entertaining RPG. The monsters and traps are well-designed, but the simplicity of the combat system can start to feel a bit repetitive over time. I wasn’t sold on the way materials are acquired, but the options for gradually developing your character and crafting various new upgrades are well thought out. In short, Amenti Studio has nothing to be ashamed of with this game. It’s not a revolutionary title, but rather a successful homage to classic isometric RPGs. If you’re a fan of the genre who also has a soft spot for ancient Egypt, you can spend many enjoyable hours playing The Book of Aaru.

Nice Day for Fishing is a game that, at first glance, looks like a simple fishing arcade game, but beneath the surface hides a surprisingly deep and satisfying experience. Fusionplay has succeeded in creating a unique blend of genres—action-packed fishing, light RPG progression, base-building, and a humorous story—all enriched by the legendary Epic NPC Man license. The game excels at being fun, accessible, and charming. The fishing battles are fast-paced and engaging, the upgrade system motivates you to keep playing, and rebuilding Honeywood gives you a sense of meaningful progress. For fans of Viva La Dirt League, this is a must-play, as the game perfectly captures the essence of Baelin’s character and features plenty of familiar jokes and references. But even for those unfamiliar with VLDL, Nice Day for Fishing offers an original and refreshing departure from classic RPGs. As Baelin himself would say: “Morning! Nice day for fishing, ain’t it!” And in the case of this game, that’s doubly true.

Trident's Tale by 3DClouds is an ambitious and largely successful attempt to breathe new life into the pirate genre on PC. It offers a rich and engaging story, a diverse and charismatic crew, and, above all, seamless and entertaining gameplay both at sea and on land. The ship and equipment upgrade system is satisfying and encourages constant exploration and resource gathering. Epic boss battles are the icing on the cake, putting your skills and tactical thinking to the test. The visual style is charming, and the soundtrack perfectly underscores the adventurous atmosphere. In my opinion, it’s truly the absolute best among pirate games.

It’s not easy for me to review The House of the Dead 2: Remake. It would feel unfair to dismiss it as utter trash, because I enjoyed it just as much as the original. But if you ask me whether it offers anything substantially new compared to the 1998 version of The House of the Dead 2, I’d have to honestly say that it doesn’t. If you haven’t played the original game, or if you want to revisit it on one of the modern platforms, then by all means give the new version a try. If you still have your Dreamcast hooked up to your TV and enjoy playing on it, you’ll probably find the remake unnecessary—or it might even annoy you with its aesthetic differences.

Fallen Tree Games has created a game that doesn’t try to be anything it’s not and knows exactly what it has to offer: fast-paced, arcade-style action, a bit of investigation, and the chance to be the force of law and order for a while in a city where law and justice often end up down the drain. If you don’t mind a certain amount of repetition and can find joy in the very act of patrolling, chasing down criminals, and making quick arrests, The Precinct can offer you a decent amount of fun. It’s not GTA, nor is it a police simulator… but something in between. It’s precisely in that “in-between” space that its charm lies.

It combines fast-paced action, the variety of roguelite mechanics, and a distinctive visual style with an atmospheric soundtrack.

The House of Da Vinci feels like a meticulously crafted machine in which every cog has its own place, and when it all fits together just right, the result is a deeply satisfying experience. Just as the master Leonardo was able to blend art with science, the game combines a superb historical atmosphere with clever puzzles that take you into the depths of Renaissance mysteries.

Spilled! is a little gem of a game that you might overlook amid the flood of bigger titles, but you definitely shouldn’t. It offers a pleasant hour of relaxation and the joy of a powerful environmental message, as well as the feeling that you’re doing something worthwhile. It’s a game that won’t take up much of your time, but one you’ll keep thinking about long after you’ve finished playing it.

Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition isn’t a revolution, but a celebration—a celebration of one of the best strategy games of all time, which has finally received the care it deserves. The developers at FireFly Studios have thoughtfully improved the technical aspects, added meaningful new content, and, above all, ensured that the game will run smoothly for future generations of players. The core of the game—that brilliant combination of economics, castle-building, and combat against charismatic AI lords—remains intact and is just as addictive as ever. The Desert King has returned, and his stronghold stands incredibly firm even after all these years, save for a few holes in its defenses.

Metro: Last Light marks a revolutionary change for the entire series, which has placed greater emphasis not only on the characters, their motivations, and personalities, but also on the story—which is no longer a poorly copied version of Glukhovsky’s novel, but a work in its own right with a new and suspenseful plot. On top of all that, the developers have created a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic world, which boasts a realistic look and a gloomy atmosphere.

Shapez 2 is a showcase of a modern automation sandbox. It’s a game that rewards you for every well-designed circuit, every cleverly routed conveyor belt, and every optimized block. It’s a title that doesn’t rely on a story, but on the joy of efficiency, the beauty of symmetry, and the elegance of the process. It features an improved engine, a new dimension in planning, and retains the addictive gameplay that everyone who has ever connected a splitter to a stabilizer has come to love. Whether you’re a beginner or the king of conveyor belts, this game gives you the tools to create something beautiful. And that’s more than can be said for many games.

ATOM RPG: Trudograd is a story-driven sequel to the main game and also proves that classic, old-school RPGs featuring an isometric view and turn-based combat are far from extinct. Although it may not be a visual or audio marvel at first glance, in terms of gameplay, story, and the depth of its dialog, it’s a great title that offers genuine fun to fans of the genre.

Abandon Ship is an atmospheric, original, and highly distinctive game that offers an interesting mix of strategy, RPG elements, and roguelike mechanics. The story isn’t the main focus, but the world and atmosphere more than make up for it. The stylized graphics, soundtrack, and tension in every battle combine to create an experience you won’t soon forget. Its pace won’t suit everyone, and the repetitive combat situations can get tiresome after a few hours. But if you’re drawn to a nonlinear adventure with tactical elements, a crew you’ll grow to love, and a world where death isn’t the end but part of the journey, then this ship is ready to set sail just for you.
