Lumione is a hardcore challenge, especially for older veterans and patient players who are not afraid to try the same jump over and over again for several tens of minutes. On the other hand, if you're a complete novice in the waters of puzzle platformers, you'd better wait a while and train your skills. The title may not offer anything miraculously revolutionary and unique on the market, but it will attract you with its magical appearance. The feeling you get when you finally give up after a few hours is priceless.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a fun multiplayer 2D brawler that has a good combat system and gameplay for each character. Unfortunately, the game has a lot of problems, especially few game modes, the inability to play online, few characters, boring maps and a high price for what it offers. So it's up to you what you expect from the game, because if you're looking for a multiplayer fighting game, you have enough controllers and friends, and you want a space where you can fight each other with four players head to head, you'll enjoy the game. However, if you are a single-player player, looking for a game similar to Super Smash Bros, want to enjoy online matches, or try the ARCADE mode, this title is not for you. So I would recommend the game for a couch party with friends, but I would still prefer to wait until the developers add new playable characters or until there is a discount.

Creepy Tale is a creepy one-shot with a simple plot, friendly visuals, harmonious audio side and also with a few problems that slightly disturb the overall impression. The inspiration of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales is evident in the Slavic setting of the story and only enhances the overall dark atmosphere. If you can manage to arm yourself with more patience, hate jumpscars, but still want to play something horror, this title is perfect for you.

Morkredd is a cooperative puzzle game that is not too time consuming. You will be surprised by the mysteriousness of the environment, highlighted by nice graphics and atmospheric music. The story, controls, and price fall quite significantly short here, but the biggest misstep is the unpolished singleplayer.

PowerBeatsVR is a great game for fitness enthusiasts who want to constantly improve and humble themselves. With the ability to automatically map your own tracks and different environment settings, the game allows for high replayability. A bonus is the support for heart rate monitors. But if you're not a complete exercise enthusiast, the game itself isn't that much fun.

We were expecting a lot of nostalgia, but instead we got spit in the face. Yes, the nostalgia is there, but it's all completely wrong. The old mistakes have remained, but new ones have come. The graphics and textures are unfinished. What's missing is the nostalgic feeling of driving through Los Santos at night years ago, running over prostitutes for money and bullets and trying all the different crazy cheats against hordes of cops. It strikes me that games are made in that month between announcement and release. Add to that the download of the original games from the store and the inability to turn on the game on PC upon release and the remaster of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy has taken over the award from Warcraft III: Reforged for the most disappointing return of a legendary game. If you don't want to spoil your view of the game, we don't recommend purchasing it given its condition to date.

Tormented Souls is definitely fun for more than ten hours. This game has a spooky atmosphere and is reminiscent of the good old survival classics that everyone loves. Unfortunately, the biggest problem here remains the immeasurable amount of difficult puzzles, with no way to lower the difficulty or get more clues. However, all lovers of old survival horror games should give this game a try.

The Riftbreaker is a great combination of real-time strategy, tower defence and bullet hell combat. Thanks to its hilarious RPG elements, large amount of equipment and extensive tech tree, it is a very sophisticated work. The Riftbreaker will clearly become a time guzzler as you will want more and more. The game also has very intuitive gameplay, great graphics, sound effects and soundtrack. Fans of Factorio, who missed the proper action in the aforementioned title, will also find satisfaction here.

Call of Cthulhu is an eight to ten hour game full of secrets and mysteries. The player needs to be careful about his decisions, as they will lead him to one of four endings. And not all of them end with a happy ending.

At first glance, Vane is a visually very appealing exploratory adventure game with a clear creative vision, but this is overshadowed by the gameplay. If the same amount of care and work had been put into the gameplay mechanics and gameplay itself as was put into creating the graphical identity, an interesting game with the potential to stand alongside other similarly-themed titles could have been created. Unfortunately, Vane has so many problems that I cannot in good conscience recommend it. Beautiful graphics alone are not enough.

For me, this is a really interesting visual novel after a long time and I absolutely loved it. It offers a nice and engaging story, complemented by interesting visuals, and an even better musical performance. You definitely won't stay at one playthrough, I promise you that.

The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa is a very hilarious open world beat'em up game that offers a lot of fun and different things to do. The story will show you what true friendship is, but also where the limits are, where even friends won't go. The question of what all has to happen to turn friends into strangers and strangers into true friends is equally addressed, and last but not least you will see how fragile student love can be. The play is definitely not for everyone. Its loose structure won't appeal to players who want specific goals, and its refusal to explain anything can feel clunky. This is an open-world game where you can do whatever you want, but unfortunately there is no map and sometimes the interaction is a bit of a drag. You do get a great feel for the life of a teenage high school gang leader, though, who has to contend not only with a rival gang, but with his own life.

She Sees Red is really action from the beginning to the end, great performances of the actors, costumes and make-up give everything the right atmosphere. The ingenious camera work, very good cuts, the film's plot and the possibility of multiple endings, all of which are quite interesting in their own way, are a big plus. However, the negative side of this game is the genre itself. It's really hard in this day and age to captivate players with gameplay that is done in a simple clicker fashion. For some more demanding people, this style of gameplay can be boring. We recommend the game to anyone who wants more of a break from the demanding keyboard mashing, and is in the mood to watch a movie in which they themselves are the driving force behind the action.

Bethesda took a risk with its move into the strategy genre, and it paid off in this case. The world of Fallout fit the concept of a builder game surprisingly well, and the cartoony graphics also worked well. The very nice overall impression is marred only by the unfun combat and story elements, which could have been handled much better. In any case, Fallout Shelter is a good mobile game - but whether it's also a good addition to the Fallout franchise is for each player to decide. Since both the mobile and Steam versions are free, there's nothing easier than downloading one and seeing for yourself.

Daymare 1998 is a hilarious horror game, which manages to captivate especially with its storytelling divided between the three main protagonists. The story and the horror atmosphere manage to captivate, and together with the hilarious sound effects and soundtrack make for a really good combination of fun with the need to think, even with the more challenging puzzles. It is thus a good horror game, although unfortunately it has some graphical imperfections that bring it down for today, and rather clunky inventory management.

ELEX is a hilarious RPG game that announced a great comeback of Piranha Bytes developers. It is a classic honest-to-goodness RPG that offers well-functioning gameplay mechanics along with a diverse array of enemies, items and a world to explore. The side quests are also very well thought out and are not just an annoying element in the game, as with some competing titles in this genre. Unfortunately, the game still suffers from some ailments, but despite this, it is still a quality RPG that will definitely entertain, repeatedly, as the replayability is very decent for this title.

Crysis Remastered Trilogy was undoubtedly a success, and it shows that remasters of older games don't always have to be a flop. The developers managed to squeeze about as much as they could out of CryEngine in this regard, and Saber Interactive deserves a hat tip for their work. It's just a shame about the bugs in the first game.

For me, it would have been enough if S.W.A.N. only had the first hour and the end. The game does seem to have potential, but it's lost somewhere along the way. There's a minigame that is pointless and only distracts the player from the main plot, not to mention an entity that babbles utter nonsense. For me, this game is just a dead swan.

Walking through the colorful island with a young chicken is a treat for the soul. Turn off the stress for a few hours with Haven Park and help it follow in Grandma's footsteps.

Call of Duty Vanguard is a decent next installment in the franchise that I would recommend to both newcomers and veterans who love the game series. However, if you already own one of the previous installments and don't like the World War II theme, you can safely skip this one or wait for a lower price. It's easy to drown dozens and hundreds of hours in multiplayer in this game, but if you're not into multiplayer and are only interested in the campaign mode, I wouldn't buy the game if I were you, as the campaign mode is very short. I enjoyed Call of Duty: Vanguard and I thoroughly enjoyed all three game modes, I will definitely be returning to multiplayer and zombie mode more regularly. I'd recommend the game, and if you're excited about the multiplayer, dive into it as soon as possible while it has a large player count.
