Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is an excellent and worthy sequel to the game released two years ago, in which the developers at City Interactive took the tried-and-true mechanics and gave them a fresh new look. The biggest draw of the second installment is undoubtedly long-range shooting, which offers a new challenge—especially for die-hard fans of the series—and many players are sure to love this feature. We must also praise the realistic weapon behavior, the pleasant design of the locations, and the semi-open world, which offers players countless additional possibilities and tasks that can significantly extend playtime. Unfortunately, along with its well-functioning mechanics, the sequel has also inherited the bad aspects, so we still encounter occasional bugs or tragically behaving enemy AI. Ultimately, however, this is a great title that should definitely not be missing from your collection of action games, and if you’re a fan of stealth and sniping, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a must-have for you.

Tunche is a high-quality casual game that you can enjoy both solo and with friends, and the co-op mode definitely outshines the single-player experience. The enemies look cute, just like the main characters, the experience-gaining system is simple, and the rogue-like elements only enhance the game. Unfortunately, the repetitiveness really drags the game down, and I can imagine that many players will get fed up with it.

Marfusha is a completely simple and fun shooter that’s perfect for filling a spare hour on a free evening or afternoon. Its simplicity is its greatest strength. Unfortunately, it’s really quite short—even with the challenge mode, it takes less than an hour to unlock most of the achievements.

Winter Ember is a dark isometric stealth game inspired by the Thief series. You can roam a gloomy Victorian city, occasionally break into a house, kill enemies, or trade on the black market while searching for secret paths and hidden corners. Unfortunately, the game also has quite a few shortcomings. Setting aside technical bugs, the main issue is the complete lack of any deeper purpose for civilian NPCs. The stealth mechanics—the core of the game—are designed quite well, and the overall gameplay is solid. The upside is that the developers have faced the heavy criticism head-on and have already confirmed changes and fixes. As it stands, the game is truly on a fine line between being recommended and not—at its core, it’s not a bad game, but it still has many shortcomings.

The Forgotten City is a fantastic single-player narrative game that transports you, a modern-day person, to an ancient city presented in a stunning visual style and featuring a perfect gaming atmosphere. The game is reasonably priced, but knowledge of a foreign language is essential—as is the "Fatal Error" icon, which appeared all too frequently.

The Gunk is an enjoyable adventure game that draws players in with its strong emphasis on exploration and its beautiful setting. The story of the two main characters on the brink of bankruptcy builds gradually; while it has a few lackluster moments, it ultimately focuses on moral values. For an indie title, it’s a very well-made game, though it isn’t without its flaws. However, these aren’t so significant that they would outright spoil the entire experience for you.

Trash Sailors is loved by some and hated by others. This cooperative game offers an interesting concept with many colorful mechanics set against a stunning visual backdrop. Scavenging for trash as a source of resources necessary for survival has truly never been this much fun. However, the game suffers from clunky controls, an almost excessive effort to present players with a difficult challenge, and repetitiveness. Form your own opinion of Trash Sailors, because in this case, it’s an extremely subjective view.

Despite some initial confusion, The Serpent Rogue is a highly creative, dark-themed adventure for any intrepid explorer. The game offers a wide range of learning and crafting options in keeping with the main character’s role as an alchemist. While this visually appealing fantasy adventure may not appeal to survival game enthusiasts per se, it is above all a demanding title full of challenges. If you persevere and don’t give up after a few initial setbacks, you certainly won’t regret the time you’ve spent on the game. On the other hand, there are a few issues that still need to be worked on, so you might want to wait for the first patch.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth creates an intriguing atmosphere, and despite its cartoonish art style, the environment draws you into its world. The combination of various items and enemies will keep you playing this entertaining game for hours on end, and the desire to improve will keep you coming back for more. We realize this style of gameplay won’t be for everyone, but if the game has piqued your interest even a little, we recommend giving it a try.

Blade Assault is one of many pixel art roguelike games. It strives to be innovative, and in a sense, it succeeds. I enjoyed how the gameplay was enhanced by the elements, the chain of merchants was intriguing, and the wider selection of characters was a welcome addition. The biggest drawback, in my view, is the visual style, which, while nicely retro, feels too monotonous in the developers’ execution. This naturally has an impact on the overall gameplay as well. Blade Assault will certainly find its fan base, but it will likely be a niche one.

Trek to Yomi is a solid samurai-themed game, delivered in just the right doses. After a few hours of play, it offers a fairly satisfying story, complemented by a highly effective environment and design, along with a combat system that works well—provided you play it safe. It’s not a platformer version of Ghost of Tsushima, but rather a game with a surprising atmosphere and a loving nod to samurai films.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is simply a game that should be part of the entrance exam for a gamer’s license. Until you play it yourself, don’t read any reviews or watch any gameplay videos. SERIOUSLY, DON’T DO IT! Don’t be afraid to dive into the realm of advanced absurdity, accompanied by the pleasantly offensive humor of an exquisitely cynical narrator. I’m giving it a high rating simply because I can!

Foregone is certainly not a bad game, and I can definitely recommend it to fans of the genre. Unfortunately, compared to other games—such as the genre’s standout, Hollow Knight—it feels terribly ordinary, neither here nor there. As a quick little game, it serves its purpose perfectly. If you’re looking for some light-hearted fun in this genre, you should definitely give Foregone a try. However, if you want something more substantial, I’d recommend checking out other games like Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, and others.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is a great action game with an interesting premise, set in a fantastic world with beautiful graphics, a great sale price, a well-crafted story, and a few annoying bugs—all topped off with microtransactions. I've forgiven it, and you should too for just ten bucks.

Even though Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion has a few flaws, it’s not a waste of time, and I believe that spending a few hours in the world of animated plants could brighten someone’s day. It’s definitely the perfect game for a long train ride or a wait at the doctor’s office, especially if you pick it up for the Nintendo Switch.

Forts is a simple real-time strategy game where you build your own fortress in any shape you like, blow up the enemy’s, and might even accidentally break yours in half. Just like when you were a kid and could build your favorite models. However, the game is let down by its lackluster multiplayer mode, the near-total absence of music, and, above all, the fact that it gets repetitive very quickly.

Fling to the Finish is a cooperative game where you and your partner are connected by a rope and must navigate through levels or races together in a coordinated manner. The developers are still working on this game, improving it and adding new content, which is definitely a plus. To groups of 2–8 players, we say that this is definitely the game for you and will certainly keep you entertained for a short while. On the other hand, we do not recommend it at all for solo players.

NEKOPARA - Catboys Paradise is a relaxing experience for all fans of the series who have always wondered what the male cat versions would be like. What will surely please you most is that you can play the game completely free of charge, and it offers the quality of the classic NEKOPARA we all know so well, including detailed visuals, professional voice acting, and an engaging story. Unfortunately, we don’t get to learn much from it, as the creators don’t reveal much to us.

Superliminal plays with perspective and optical illusions brilliantly and brings a healthy dose of originality to the gaming market. Still, I feel that the developers didn’t fully realize the game’s potential, and their efforts to achieve variety weren’t entirely successful in every respect. For newcomers, this may be a good starting point, but more demanding veterans might be disappointed.
