Maybe I’m just picking up on the moaning and the erotic undertones, but Gal*Gun Double Peace! has nothing else to offer. The story is fine, but it’s just a run-of-the-mill anime cliché. The characters are whiny and, at times, downright annoying. Unfortunately, the gameplay is far too simple and repetitive, but at least the aiming on the Nintendo works great and there are no issues with it. The graphics are well-done—you can even see things you don’t want to see. You just have to be the game’s target audience; otherwise, I don’t know who it could possibly appeal to.

The Eternal Cylinder is an incredible game that’s definitely worth playing. It stands out primarily for its visuals, but also for its gameplay. The only downside is poor optimization, which can be frustrating at times. We’ve grown fond of the little Trebhums, as well as the story of their entire family. This game is definitely worth checking out and has incredible potential.

WRC Generations is more of an evolution of the previous WRC 10, but in every respect, it represents the best that KT Racing and Nacon have been able to create over the years. If you’re a fan but already own one of the older titles, you should definitely invest the full price in WRC Generations. For owners of WRC 10, I recommend waiting for a small discount, but I can still recommend WRC Generations to them as KT Racing’s new flagship title. On behalf of us at Gaming Professors, I’m giving the game eight and a half out of ten points.

The Darkest Tales is full of great ideas, but the game is let down by numerous critical flaws that leave players feeling frustrated rather than excited. Although the developers are working hard to fix the game, it still isn’t in a state where I could recommend it to you with a clear conscience. This conclusion saddens me all the more because The Darkest Tales could be such a good game—if only everything worked as it should.

The best game of all time? Probably. It’s massive, high-quality, well-organized, and features a fantastic soundtrack and expansions that build on an already excellent story. I also have to highlight the mini-games, such as Gwent and horseback riding, as well as the side quests, which are well-crafted and make sense. There’s practically nothing to fault in The Witcher 3: Game of the Year Edition (The Witcher 3: GOTY Edition). All the issues the original game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, had have been resolved with the expansions—except for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Today, it’s one great masterpiece in which finding flaws is as hard as finding Ciri. I’m truly glad the game has Czech localization at least in the subtitles, because without them, fans would miss out on a lot. And although it really seems like I’m idolizing The Witcher too much, the opposite is true—try playing it, and you’ll understand for yourself.

Clanfolk is a charming building strategy game in which you take care of your clan of Scottish highlanders. You must teach them everything from the ground up, look after their health, ensure they have enough food and drink, and, of course, meet other basic needs such as mood, cleanliness, and the need for social interaction. The biggest challenge is the first winter—if you manage to meet their basic needs and don’t make any mistakes, you’ll enter a simple cycle of gathering and collecting resources. It’s a purely peaceful game, with no skirmishes or dangers that would threaten your community. The greatest danger here, then, is meeting basic human needs.

Hadr is a short art piece—don’t expect a conventional gaming experience. Instead, prepare yourself for an interactive take on a gallery visit, where your thoughts will drift and wander, much like a fluttering piece of fabric. The description on Steam might give you a hint: are real things disappearing, or just memories of them? (Probably only the visual representations of strings of numerical data rendered by a few dozen voxels projected onto your computer screen are disappearing, but shh. Ceci n’est pas une pipe.).

Star Dynasties is a Dune-inspired space mod for Crusader Kings III. Nothing more, nothing less. I find it lacking the originality this theme could have had. On the other hand, once you understand the system, you’ll find a great turn-based strategy game that you can enjoy to your heart’s content. Unfortunately, it takes a while to get the hang of it, especially if you don’t have a solid grasp of the language. At the very least, you can marvel at how beautiful humanity’s future in space will look.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is definitely a great port that I would recommend to all fans who love this spider-hero and some serious urban action. However, this great experience is marred by the fact that the game has a very short playtime, at least as far as the main storyline is concerned. If you plan to complete Morales 100%, it will definitely keep you glued to your seat for more than ten hours.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is an above-average horror game that, despite a few flaws, has a lot to offer. While it isn’t exactly a game-changer, it’s a solid title and a great interactive adventure that will keep you entertained for several hours.

Life on a virtual farm in Farming Life is pure bliss. A very helpful guide walks you through the entire game, always advising you on what to do so you don’t mess anything up. You’ll build an empire from a small farm, filled with animals, crops, orchards, and tractors. Since it’s a simulator, it’s hard to find fault with the game, but you could say that something is missing. From my perspective, it could use a slightly faster pace and better music; plus, I feel a bit of pressure because the game really tries to make me feel at ease, and then suddenly events take an unexpected turn.

So, is Mighty Goose worth recommending? For casual gamers who can’t breeze through every Metal Slug game with their eyes closed and a controller in their left foot, definitely yes. They’re in for a good time thanks to the game’s charming humor, adrenaline-fueled action, and few instances of rage quitting during difficult sections. However, seasoned veterans of the genre won’t find the proper challenge or sufficiently polished gameplay here.

Epic Chef is a great, laid-back, and simple game that you can play with just a pen and paper. It features simple controls, nice visuals, and, of course, plenty of comical extras. The game might benefit from easier ingredient collection and less of a push toward a full-fledged simulation, because I’d much rather have spent the hours I spent searching at the stove. Even so, it’s a pleasant surprise for just a few bucks.

The pixel-art top-down PvPvE shooter *Hell is Others* draws players in with its intense horror atmosphere and promising playtime set in the relatively small environment of Century City. Adam Smithson’s sole desire to simply survive is pitted against all the absurdity he faces. The combination of building Adam’s apartment and night-time forays for life or death creates a title that appeals to passionate competitive players as well as casual builders, because everyone has a choice: you can either remain a gatherer or become a hunter.

If you love high-quality narrative RPGs, Disco Elysium is practically a must-have for you. Thanks to its compelling story, richly detailed world, numerous interesting characters, and well-written dialogue, it’s the best thing to come along in this genre in recent years—a fact further enhanced by its polished gameplay mechanics and overall production quality. Only fans of complex combat systems or those who don’t like to read will be disappointed here.

Resident Evil Re:Verse is a disappointment that might one day be saved by the addition of many more characters, monsters, locations, or players. However, given its price and the expectations it raises, the game unfortunately offers nothing we haven’t seen before or encountered elsewhere. It’s also not free, which, given its quality, is literally money down the drain. It will entertain you for one afternoon at most—and only if you have someone to play with. The only positive is that, aside from the graphics, it will please die-hard fans of the series, who will be able to play as their favorite characters thanks to the game.

Evil West is a well-crafted action-adventure game with a brisk pace, a linear storyline, and plenty of action that you’ll really enjoy. The combat system will win you over after a while, and you’ll find yourself looking forward to more and more action. An interesting mix of enemies, which you can take down with your arsenal and a wide range of special abilities, guarantees that you won’t get bored with the game. While the story does become predictable after a while, combined with the gameplay, setting, atmosphere, and action, this is a well-made title that will definitely keep you entertained. This isn’t Cookie Clicker—this is action!

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is a title that won’t please die-hard fans of the series and won’t appeal to newcomers either. Visually and musically, the game is flawless, but it’s ruined by its extreme repetitiveness and lack of a story. Unfortunately, even the bosses themselves aren’t exciting enough to save Gungrave. As for the unbelievable price of €49.99, I find it terribly overpriced.

Bayonetta 3 is a truly fantastic sequel that delivers everything fans love about the series. If you enjoy sexy action heroines in tight-fitting outfits who use their feminine wiles to fight and taunt their enemies, this is the game for you. The story is accompanied by a great soundtrack that blends jazz and funk.

God of War: Ragnarok is an excellent sequel that starts off at a slower pace, but the second half of the game is pure action-packed fun, complemented by an emotional portrayal of both main characters. There are plenty of side activities that will keep you glued to your seat for hours. The icing on the cake is the graphics and the soundtrack.
