Bye Sweet Carole is a beautiful game with stunning animation that will appeal to lovers of atmospheric horror and puzzle-adventure games, as well as fans of classic Disney films and touching stories. Despite some technical shortcomings, it offers an unforgettable experience that will leave you with lingering emotions long after the final credits roll. So, if you’re up for it, sit back, relax, and get ready for the story of a young girl who wanted more from life than the shackles of the society in which she lived.

Crisol: Theater of Idols is a horror game that really tries to stand out from the crowd, and thanks to the idea of using your own blood as ammunition, it manages to do so quite convincingly. It’s not entirely perfect, though—at times the game is a bit too easy, some battles aren’t exactly nerve-wracking, and the story comes across as mysterious in places mainly because it doesn’t really explain much. On the other hand, it has a great atmosphere, original ideas, and a visual style you’ll remember. If you like horror games that experiment with new mechanics and aren’t afraid to be a little weird, Crisol is definitely worth a try. And most importantly, remember one key rule while playing: you’ll never run out of ammo here… because you are the ammo.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake: Destiny and Strategy Expansion Pack is a classic expansion. It introduces new features, scenarios, and improvements that deepen the game and make it better. However, it doesn’t fix the fundamental issues that drag the game down—namely, poor AI, a clunky UI, and repetitiveness. If you’re a fan of the series and enjoyed RTK8, this is a must-have that will give you dozens of extra hours of fun. But if you were expecting the game to transform into a modern strategic gem, you’ll be disappointed. It’s a step forward, but the goal is still a long way off.

Monster Train 2 is a prime example of a sequel that builds on the strong foundation laid by its predecessor. It doesn’t try to radically change a concept that worked, but instead expands and refines it. The result is a deep and extremely addictive strategy game that offers a vast array of different gameplay scenarios. The variety of clans, deck-building options, and fast-paced battles create a combination that can easily keep you engrossed for hours on end.

True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 2 is a darker, more challenging, and more atmospheric sequel that isn’t afraid to change the game’s pace and approach to puzzles. The shift from classic item-hunting to more logic-based puzzles feels refreshing and gives the game greater depth. The story is stronger, more emotionally intense, and builds tension more effectively. At the same time, however, the game suffers from a confusing progression and occasional moments when you don’t know which way to go. While there is a map, it doesn’t always provide enough guidance. Although the Czech translation is significantly better than in the first installment, inaccuracies still crop up, which can be confusing when solving certain tasks.

RIDE 6 won’t have it easy at all in the racing game market. On the one hand, the developers have managed to create a broader scope for motorcycle gameplay, which is accompanied by much greater accessibility for new players and more manageable controls that won’t frustrate you as much as they did in the past. Add to that the new off-road tracks and nearly 300 licensed bikes. However, all of this is undermined by the new career mode, RIDE Fest, which lacks a certain vibrancy and any real reason to spend dozens of hours with the game or strive for career advancement. Unfortunately, this isn’t Forza, where you can let loose in an open world. That’s not to say that RIDE 6 is a bad game. Personally, I’d give it a 7, mainly for the driving model and the new gravel racing feature. However, it’s a 7 with a big exclamation point and a warning that the next installment needs a revolution—not just more of the same. So who should I recommend this game to? If, for some reason, you found RIDE 5 too difficult, you’ll struggle much less with RIDE 6, and it will be an interesting racing game for you. However, if you’re a die-hard fan, some of the changes might not be entirely to your liking, in which case we recommend either waiting for a sale or simply skipping this installment.

True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 1 is a solid horror adventure game that captivates players primarily through its atmosphere and gradually unfolding story. It offers a wide variety of puzzles, a choice of difficulty levels, and enjoyable bonuses in the form of achievements and the return of mini-games. On the other hand, it’s held back by occasionally unintuitive quest design and a very poor Czech translation that’s more likely to confuse you than help you. Some moments feel unnecessarily drawn out, and the story occasionally slips into horror genre clichés. However, if you enjoy atmospheric adventure games and don’t mind the occasional bit of trial and error, True Fear can offer you several hours of suspenseful entertainment. For fans of story-driven games, it’s definitely a title worth trying, even if it isn’t among the best in the genre.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a controversial yet well-executed remake. It has changed and removed a lot, which doesn’t sit well with die-hard fans at all. However, it has replaced everything it took out with new content and revamped the rather clunky original game to meet modern standards. If you’ve never played the original Yakuza 3, this version might be the most accessible way for you to experience one of the key chapters in Kiryu’s story. Players who are already familiar with Yakuza 3, however, may find themselves grumbling more about what’s been lost to the dustbin of digital history than cheering about what’s been added.

Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is a game that doesn’t try to please everyone, and that’s precisely where its strength lies. It offers a slower pace, more complex systems, and a strong emphasis on strategy. The combination of an action-packed combat system, base building, resource management, and political decisions creates an unusual gameplay mix that feels fresh and well-thought-out—even if it may be a bit more challenging to grasp at first. However, once you dig beneath the surface of the mechanics, you’ll discover a surprisingly sophisticated whole, whose greatest strength is the sense of gradually growing power. A helpless creature becomes a ruler, a small fortress becomes a monumental stronghold, and a lone hunter becomes the lord of an entire region. This is an ambitious project for anyone seeking a dark fantasy strategy game with freedom of choice who wants to be more than just a hero—those who want to be the true rulers of their own empire.

Resident Evil Requiem is a showcase of the entire series in its modern form: a meticulously designed survival horror game that can be both claustrophobic and epic, all while keeping players on the edge of their seats. It takes what worked so well in RE4 and RE7 and brings it all together with confidence and top-notch production quality. I can’t think of a single reason why I should discourage anyone from playing it, but at the same time, expect the game to stick to well-trodden, tried-and-true paths and never try anything new.

Nioh 3 is a confident continuation of the series that preserves its identity while expanding upon it. It’s not a game for everyone; it requires patience, a willingness to learn, and a desire to experiment. However, if you embrace its rules, you’ll find a complex action RPG with deep systems, intense combat, and an atmosphere that blends history with dark mythology.

City Tales - Medieval Era is a pleasant and addictive game where you can relax without worrying about losing or facing negative consequences from your decisions. You build your own medieval city, which is constantly growing, and its residents bombard you with requests that ensure you’ll never get bored. The game isn’t complicated, but a clearer graphical interface and more detailed task descriptions wouldn’t hurt. Better optimization would also be welcome. Otherwise, though, it’s a charming and entertaining game that I’d recommend to any fan of city-building simulators.

Code Vein 2 isn’t exactly a bad game, but it’s a pointless one and, in many ways, worse than its predecessor—not to mention its outrageously inflated price. The open world hurts it, the technical quality is just above average, and the story fails to convey any emotion due to its cheap presentation. If you loved the first game and need another dose of anime vampires, it might be worth a try on sale. But if you’re expecting an evolution of the genre or a game that can hold its own against modern competition, you’ll be disappointed. It’s a mediocre title that will gather dust before you can say “Resurgence.”

The overall impression of The 9th Charnel is a mix of ambitious ideas and their inadequate technical execution. A single person is responsible for the entire development. A tremendous amount of work is evident, and some aspects of the game (particularly the atmosphere, sound design, and environments) showcase real talent and potential. However, when you look at how the game behaves when interacting with objects, how enemies move, or how often you have to deal with bugs and glitches, it becomes clear that the overall experience isn’t as smooth and seamless as it needs to be to live up to its ambitions. If you’re looking for a powerful, atmospheric horror experience and are willing to overlook technical shortcomings, The 9th Charnel may captivate you at certain moments. But if you’re expecting a balanced, smooth, and mechanically precise survival game full of intelligent enemies and complex mechanics, this title will likely disappoint you. In any case, it’s a remarkable achievement from a single developer, demonstrating that even small teams or individuals can make their mark in a genre that thrives on atmosphere and suspense.

The first installment of the dark adventure game Kathy Rain has a lot to offer. Fans of point-and-click titles and Gabriel Knight will find plenty to enjoy here. The game features countless memorable characters, breathtaking pixel art environments, and atmospheric music. Although it’s brimming with positive aspects, it’s not without its flaws. The biggest problem is the story itself, which, in the second act, rather chaotically and confusingly combines several motifs and themes that don’t always work together. The final result is definitely not a disappointment, and if you love this genre of point-and-click games as much as I do, at least give this sassy tough girl a chance.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins – Visions of Four Heroes is a prime example of what DLC should be like. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but takes what worked in the original game and gives us more of it—better and with a fresh new look. The alternate histories are entertaining and give prominence to characters who were previously just background figures or targets. New weapons and a strategic mode breathe new life into the gameplay, and the replay value is enormous (the campaigns can easily take over 12 hours to complete). If you enjoyed Origins, this expansion is a must-have. It’s a return to the battlefield that’s worth every minute and every penny.

Reanimal is a dark, uncompromising, and exceptionally atmospheric game that proves Tarsier Studios is capable of creating compelling worlds even outside the Little Nightmares franchise. The game offers an intense and psychologically challenging experience, so it’s not for everyone. However, those who dare to enter will be rewarded with one of the most striking horror experiences of recent years.

Formula Legends is definitely an interesting game that, with its simple design and controls, takes you through entire generations of the Formula 1 racing championship. If you’re looking for something lighthearted to help pass the time while waiting for the new season, just want to relax with something simple, or are looking for a gentle game for your kids, Formula Legends is exactly what you’re looking for. Seven and a half out of ten.

At its heart and soul, Lost Eidolons is a solid turn-based strategy game with rich RPG elements and a well-written story that draws you into a world where chance and tactical ingenuity intertwine. It’s not without its flaws—occasional sluggishness, lengthy dialogues, or a somewhat limited branching decision system may bother some players—but its strengths far outweigh these weaknesses.
