House Flipper offers hours of fun combined with rest and relaxation, which I think is the perfect combination. Players can tap into their creativity and imagination here, which isn’t all that common in simulators. The game really gives you free rein, and in my opinion, that’s why it’s been so popular for several years now. The feeling of monotony after a few hours or even dozens of hours of play is just a minor flaw. Still, after a while, you’ll find your way back to renovating.

Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim™ is a dating simulator set in the world of Dead by Daylight. The game features simple point-and-click gameplay and dialogue, accompanied by a great deal of boredom with a subtle erotic undertone. Personally, I think it’s a highly overrated title that owes its high ratings to the parent game—Dead by Daylight. But if you enjoy clicking your mouse and reading a lot of fictional pickup lines, you’re on the right wavelength.

SpiderHeck is a highly entertaining game that combines elements of PvP and platforming. The colorful array of weapons will captivate you even more once you realize you can combine them with your spider abilities. The game can keep you entertained for hours, and its excellent graphics and controls make it even more appealing. Using almost every piece of equipment is fun, and with the map’s layout, you can create some very creative combinations. So if you’re thinking about buying it or looking for an alternative multiplayer game, we definitely recommend SpiderHeck. Even if you don’t have a group to play with, we still recommend it just for the creators’ brilliant idea of letting you play as such incredible creatures.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a well-crafted game that strives to take everything from its predecessor a step further. It succeeds in telling a compelling story, features beautiful environments, and has an immersive atmosphere. However, the gameplay suffers in places and is incredibly clunky. Design flaws and occasional forced padding don’t help the game either. Still, the positives outweigh the negatives, and fans of the first game won’t be disappointed. Just don’t expect a top-tier AAA title, because this rat adventure unfortunately doesn’t belong in that league.

Stranded: Alien Dawn is a very well-made survival-building strategy game that places a strong emphasis on the composition of your group of survivors, their skills, and the appropriate division of tasks. It’s clear that the game is still in development, as evidenced by some minor technical glitches. Even so, however, even in its current early access phase, it is a very well-made title that will definitely delight every fan of the genre.

I won’t go into too much detail this time. Wreckfest is exactly the FlatOut sequel every fan could have hoped for, featuring all the elements, the driving mechanics, and the excellent destruction we’ve come to know from the past. Bugbear Entertainment has simply done a fantastic job, and Wreckfest earns a solid 8.5 out of 10 from us.

Exodus Borealis follows the adventurous journey of a fox colony through a combination of RTS and tower defense elements. Build, feed, harvest, and defend—all while taking into account the seasons and terrain. The graphics may not offer much and are most satisfying during the warmer months, but compared to the complex gameplay—featuring interesting management mechanics and a well-developed research tree—it can entertain genre fans for dozens of hours.

No Man's Sky is a truly unique game, unrivaled in both scale and complexity. If I had to find a synonym to describe this title, it would be the phoenix. Hello Games has done a great job, and it’s worth noting that all their expansions are completely free, the player community is welcoming, and you won’t encounter a single microtransaction. No Man’s Sky probably won’t thrill absolutely everyone, but it should be given a chance. Once it captivates you, it will be hard to tear yourself away from the screen.

I would definitely recommend DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS to fans of the series, because they’ll appreciate the game much more than someone who doesn’t know what Dragon Ball is all about. However, the developers also took into account that their game doesn’t have to be just for fans of the universe. Thanks to this, DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a new, fun cooperative game, as this project doesn’t require any prior knowledge of the series. If you have seven friends who love Dragon Ball and can jump in with you, you’re all set. Unfortunately, the lack of crossplay and communication between players does reduce the game’s appeal. It doesn’t help that you can’t kick toxic players out. At the same time, some people might not like that this game relies on a gacha system.

It seems that the transition to Skybound Games’ The Walking Dead has been more beneficial than it might seem at first glance. Not only did we get a high-quality story-driven game that actually lasted a while, but we also got to enjoy the swan song of a beloved character, whose final chapter was simply a resounding success. Clementine saved the entire series, and we can be glad that we can ultimately look back fondly on The Final Season and the entire The Walking Dead game series.

Honestly, I think the name Overwatch 2 really means, "It's the same game, but we want to learn from our mistakes—please forgive us." That said, the developers have given us plenty of new features, and it's clear they're trying their best. As an Overwatch veteran, I'd recommend this title to both longtime and new players. Try to stick with the game and wait to see how the developers handle the backlash from fans. If it doesn’t work out, we can just forget about it.

Although SANABI is still in early early access, it already gives reason for cautious optimism. The fluid platforming gameplay encourages you to constantly search for a faster route, and the story and characters will keep you engaged. If the screenshots or videos on the official website catch your eye, don’t hesitate to invest in the game, because with a little polish, it could still pleasantly surprise you in the future. So while the game can’t earn a higher score in its current state, I’m rooting for the developers moving forward.

Indoorlands is undoubtedly a unique take on the tycoon genre; you can build your own indoor amusement park and manage it effectively. With its user-friendly interface and gameplay, it’s a game suitable even for beginners to the genre. As with other tycoon games, however, you should expect a certain level of simplicity here, which will likely only entertain you until you’ve tried all the attractions. Although a few bugs cropped up during gameplay, it’s still a game that’s definitely entertaining and serves as a great starting point if you want to move on to more complex tycoon games.

Gotham Knights is an average urban action game dragged down by endlessly repetitive side quests, identical enemy types, and locations. From a narrative standpoint, there’s nothing to fault our Knights for; the game succeeds in enhancing the series’ dense atmosphere and introducing a true villain. The chemistry between the characters could have been a bit better—after all, they’re supposed to be a team. The only thing that might spoil the cohesive, gloomy atmosphere are Nightwing’s occasional sarcastic “haha” moments. Gotham Knights is, however, a game that preserves the spirit of the Arkham series while offering a completely new perspective.

Overall, the game world is well-developed, offering a wide variety of melee and ranged weapons, plenty of crafting materials, and loot. This is truly a solid, old-school RPG with a wealth of side quests and an engaging main story featuring two different endings. Also worth mentioning is the diverse range of enemies, each with their own specific attacks and movements. Despite certain shortcomings in the AI and some technical rough edges, Seven: Enhanced Edition is a well-made stealth title that is definitely worth checking out.

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is just another run-of-the-mill game. Unfortunately, it isn’t even a good one. Telltale Games has somehow gotten stuck in a rut they just can’t seem to break out of, and they’ve delivered a thoroughly average game that fails to excite or entertain—it just kind of drags on. As part of the series, however, it does have at least some value. So, ahead of the series finale, we know we’re in for half a day of a movie where we occasionally get to do something.

WRC 10 is undoubtedly the best installment in the FIA World Rally Championship series, and while it doesn’t offer any drastic changes, new players and die-hard fans of virtual rally racing will be thrilled with the new release. However, it remains to be seen whether it’s worth it for WRC 9 owners to invest in the new installment, despite the inclusion of a historic mode. In this case, I wouldn’t rush into buying it and would wait for a significant discount, by which time the title will also be better optimized from a technical standpoint. However, if you’re a new player or last played WRC 6 or WRC 7, we can definitely recommend WRC 10 even at its current price. Overall, the new installment earns a solid 8 out of 10 from our editorial team.

Expeditions: Rome builds on the reputation of a great series, but raises the bar even higher. The game’s story is set in the historical setting of ancient Rome, and it makes excellent use of this to its advantage. At the same time, you can influence the course of history based on your actions and conversations. It’s a very well-executed combination of RPG and tactical strategy, with beautiful graphics. I encountered a few occasional graphical glitches while playing, but they weren’t significant enough to affect the overall enjoyment of the game. It’s clear that the developers really put a lot of effort into this game.

Unfortunately, MX vs ATV Legends failed to build on the success of its predecessors, and following the 2018 installment, we’ve been left with a subpar game that struggles in just about every aspect—whether it’s the odd physics model, the uninteresting career mode, overly aggressive and dumb opponents, or even the inability to customize the controls to your liking. Rainbow Studios really didn’t pull this off, and let’s hope the studio’s quality hasn’t gone anywhere. Now there’s nothing left to do but quickly forget about MX vs ATV Legends and hope for better days ahead. As for us, the Gaming Professors, the game gets three and a half points out of ten.
