In my humble opinion, Internet Generation is a fun, colorful, and cute game among the beat ’em up titles. The game isn’t that long—it’ll take you about five to six hours to finish. I’m a little disappointed that English subtitles are missing in some places, so you can’t enjoy the game to its fullest. Otherwise, I’d recommend it to all fans of anime waifus and cute girls.

In my opinion, The Unliving is a very interesting title in the rogue-lite action RPG genre. Personally, I was charmed by its enjoyable gameplay, which even a complete beginner can handle. All of this is complemented by great pixel art, and the background music is simply a joy to listen to. The game also offers a variety of upgrades, and each new playthrough presents a slight difference, whether in the form of dialogue or the environment. I definitely have to admit that this game is worth trying out and is well worth your time.

WWE 2K24 is a solid fighting game that opens the door to the world of professional wrestling. Despite some frustrating moments and the game’s difficulty, it offers an entertaining experience for fans of the sport. With patience and practice, you can gradually master the mechanics and defeat stars like John Cena, for example.

If you fondly remember the open-world beginnings of the Assassin’s Creed series, enjoy lightning-fast, challenging combat, and are drawn to the idea of exploring late Edo-period Japan—which is teeming with authentic historical details—then Rise of the Ronin is exactly for you. You’ll only be disappointed if you put the game down too soon, before it has a chance to unfold to its full potential. Or if you’re expecting another cinematic blockbuster for the masses.

At its core, Asphalt 9: Legends offers a fairly interesting and, at first, entertaining arcade racing experience, but this is largely undermined by excessive monetization elements. Yes, you can get a lot of things completely for free, but the cost is hundreds of hours of gameplay and constant grinding, which isn’t really worth it given the constantly repetitive races. If you’re just looking to kill some time, Asphalt 9: Legends can be a good way to unwind. For more long-term gameplay, however, there are much more polished titles out there, especially on PC and gaming consoles. Six out of ten.

For me personally, Alone in the Dark is a title that revives this series, especially after the last disastrous installment. It offers a new, compelling story set in a beautifully and intricately detailed environment. I’d also give it extra credit for the voice acting and the actors who portrayed Emily and Edward and brought them to life. As for optimization, it will likely need some fine-tuning. The game will keep you entertained for several hours, but honestly, I think two playthroughs—one for each character—will be more than enough. Now we can only hope that this marks a fresh and successful start for the series.

Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator presents an interesting concept, but unfortunately suffers from several shortcomings. Despite these, the game may appeal to those seeking freedom in building and a relaxing atmosphere. I recommend keeping an eye on this title and waiting for any fixes or improvements from the developers. After all, there’s a certain magic hidden in the garden, and it’s up to you to decide whether you’ll set out to uncover it.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is a great follow-up to the previous Snowrunner and also introduces several new features and improvements. While its focus and greater accessibility may disappoint veterans of the series a bit, it still offers excellent physics and dozens of hours of massive, tough challenges. It’s just a shame there aren’t more locations—or at least more off-road vehicles. Seven out of ten.

Alone in the Dark: Illumination is truly the final nail in the coffin of this series. These days, the game has nothing to offer compared to titles like Alan Wake, Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead, and others. On top of that, it’s riddled with bugs and technical issues, and honestly, who among us wants to suffer through four or five hours of something like this? Plus, the servers are completely empty. As far as I’m concerned, it’s definitely a big “no” for this game.

Nightdive Studios has done it again. With Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster, they’re bringing players a title that doesn’t deserve to be forgotten—one that, many years after its release, still feels polished and relevant. Fans of the Star Wars franchise and first-person shooters, in particular, shouldn’t miss the remastered Dark Forces. The technical and design issues, stemming mainly from the original game’s age, aren’t serious enough to spoil the fun.

Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders may have been a bit of a tall order for the development studio, but in the end, it turned out to be an incredibly engaging game. It does have its ups and downs at times, but it delivers just about everything I could want from a game—a beautiful world, friends, adventure, and a living legend. Unfortunately, the sword combat, the constant need to check the hint menu, and the attempts to listen to the sounds of the forest detract from the game. But that’s okay, because Marian always cooks up something delicious.

So how should we ultimately rate Potion Permin? It’s better than average, but it falls a bit short of the top games. That doesn’t matter, though—the beautiful atmosphere, the enjoyable medical activities, and hunting in the woods will keep you entertained long enough for you to get your money’s worth. Unfortunately, doing the same thing over and over again and sometimes having to take care of my patients in ways that seemed pointless at times got on my nerves, but I suppose I was expecting too much from such a simple game.

Project Warlock is a great game that captures the atmosphere of the old Wolfenstein games. I absolutely love how fast-paced, varied, and gory it is—even Carnage would have a blast playing it. The incredibly smooth gameplay is just a bonus. Unfortunately, it lacks a better—or rather, more developed—story, and the difficulty could definitely be a bit more balanced. Other than that, it’s hard to find fault with it, because I haven’t experienced this much entertaining suffering in such a small game in a long time.

Escape Simulator is a huge surprise—what started as an unassuming game has turned into several hours of great fun, whether you’re playing solo or with others. The nearly limitless scope for using your imagination is admirable, and the official levels have their own unique charm. Unfortunately, physics can sometimes play tricks on you, the whole game occasionally crashes, and—most of all—that annoying soundtrack just won’t stop playing. If you’re a fan of escape games, this one’s right up your alley—and I’d say it’ll keep you entertained for a very, very long time.

The Thaumaturge is an intriguing story-driven RPG with an isometric perspective and turn-based combat, set in an alternate history of 1905 and taking place in Warsaw. Great emphasis is placed on the story and conversations, and dialogue choices can influence the overall direction of the plot. Acquiring new salutors, completing side quests, and exploring Warsaw are enjoyable and entertaining. However, the combat system is minimalist, and the combat style doesn’t vary much. The lack of equipment upgrades and the emphasis on dialogue may not be to everyone’s taste. Nevertheless, it’s definitely an interesting title with a unique setting that will entertain all fans of story-driven RPGs.

Sally Face is an absolutely fantastic game. If you like horror games, puzzles, and a great story, you definitely shouldn’t miss this title. The game has a very interesting and engaging story, plus well-written characters. Who wouldn’t love Sally Fisher or Larry, especially since they have such good taste in music? For cat lovers, there’s a real gem: Gizmo, a little cat who loves watching TV and collecting stickers.

To me, Immortal Life is a charming game that combines the best elements of other farming games and simulators into one. The use of magic is like in Sunhaven, building and crafting are similar to My Time at Portia, farming is reminiscent of Story of Seasons, and combat is like in My Time at Sandrock. Plus, the game brings a breath of fresh air to this genre. On top of that, you’ll enjoy the pleasant visuals of a Chinese fantasy landscape with cute characters and traditional Chinese music that accompanies you every step of the way. It’s definitely a very addictive simulator that will have you spending hours without even realizing it.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is an enchanting adventure game that offers both relaxing moments as you solve logic puzzles and thrilling sections where you engage in battles with enemies (though sometimes the terms “relaxing” and “thrilling” can be reversed). The developers have created a magical world with stunning graphics that leave a spellbinding impression. Thanks to the personalized levels, you won’t get bogged down in monotony, so the game never feels repetitive. In this case, the developers didn’t quite nail the combat system design, but that’s easily forgivable.

Kapital: Sparks of Revolution is a visually impressive city-building strategy game set in the post-World War I era. The game offers a collection of interesting ideas with an emphasis on decision-making and managing limited resources. However, it is let down by the failure to fully develop some of its great ideas and the absence of important elements and metrics that are essential for managing the economy. Furthermore, some of the mechanics do not function quite correctly.

Ghostrunner 2 is undoubtedly a worthy sequel to the first game. It features several new ideas, and the developers have made a noticeable effort to improve some of the mechanics carried over from the original. Most of the changes are for the better, but there are also elements that don’t quite fit the game’s concept. You can look forward to great dynamic gameplay, fantastic parkour, and challenging combat where you have to carefully choose the most effective path to your goal. Add to that the impressive graphics and a fantastic soundtrack, and you’re in for a treat.
