The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav is undoubtedly a classic in the point-and-click adventure game genre. However, it is clear that this is a game that is more than eight years old at its core and has not undergone any major technical changes. The story is slightly predictable at some stages and the overall impression and enjoyment of the gameplay is spoiled by the setting, or rather the animation of the characters and their dubbing. Although I am a proponent of dubbing in games, especially story-based ones, here I would even prefer if there was no dubbing and the conversations were only within the text.

It's not for nothing that Doom Eternal is one of the best shooters of recent years. In addition to a perfect story campaign, it also offers a fast-paced, fast-paced gameplay, which is enhanced by a beautiful graphic coat and a synthetic, predatory and musically charged soundtrack by Mick Gordon. You'll equally appreciate the excellent firearms arsenal, in which every weapon has its use on the battlefield, the elaborate locations, and the plethora of diverse, perfectly designed monsters whose elimination through the brutal but playful and occasionally humorous Glory Killy you'll truly enjoy. This is a modern shooter, as it should be.

The game is really good and makes a good name for its predecessor. Vaporum: Lockdown offers a good story in a nice graphic design. However, the large number of items and equipment combined with the solution of various puzzles will also impress, which will torment the cerebral threads. At certain stages, however, the piecemeal movement with the controls is a bit chaotic and can end in death with hasty keystrokes.

Youtubers Life will surely keep you entertained for ten hours. It's a game where you can listen to your favourite playlist of songs in the background and relax. However, over time it becomes a stereotypical affair, and so this game will probably be gathering dust in your Steam library for some time. But that doesn't mean you won't turn it on again in a year and spend a few more hours of your life with it.

Breathedge brings an interesting combination of story-driven adventure and space survival in the style of Subnautica. Add to that a great crazy story and funny moments, and you're really in for a great time. However, the experience is a bit spoiled by the game's fluctuating difficulty and balance, along with the rather repetitive gameplay and some scripted quests.

I find Ghostrunner to be a nice and fresh wind in this genre. Setting the game in cyberpunk was really good. The variety of enemies and the different ways to get to the end point really entertains. If you give Ghostrunner a chance, it literally pulls you in and doesn't let go. However, the game is quite short, about 5 hours of pure gameplay, and after a while it can feel heavily repetitive.

Spin Rhythm XD needs no more description. It is an interesting rhythm game with simple controls, lots of soundtracks and nice visuals that will entertain especially when relaxing. What we can criticize a bit is the unnecessarily complex editor and, so far, not very lively multiplayer. The game is also still in Early Access and we're very curious to see where the title will go next.

Song of Horror is a story-driven, quality horror affair. However, not everyone will like it. The optimization is a bit lame and the camera made one quite nervous more than once (déjà vu like in Resident Evil 5?). Investigating the place and reading minds is a long haul, as there is a lot to explore. So patience is in order. But the reward is a complex fine story and a grand finale with several possible endings.

The Almost Gone offers you a complex family plot, which unfortunately you cannot explore in more depth. However, the miniature dioramas are very appealing and the whole aesthetic will make the gameplay experience more enjoyable. The puzzles are short, simple and definitely won't make you sweat. I would recommend the title to beginners who are just about to enter the world of puzzle games, given its low difficulty. For less than three hours of fun, the price of this one-shot is €9.99.

Truck and Logistics Simulator is going to have a tough time in the world of simulators, it's not a bad game and it has a few aspects to boast about. The visuals of the game and the wide selection of vehicles can be described as hilarious. On the other hand, we have to fault the mediocre driving model, physics and above all the lack of any career progression.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is not a bad title and you will definitely enjoy it. Unfortunately, a few flaws like weak negative characters, bosses built on the same principle or unnecessarily frequent challenges will spoil the experience a bit. Despite this, the gameplay is fun and the story engrosses you to the point where you'll simply take on the role of Komar and fight for your life tooth and nail. However, to avoid getting completely lost in the lore, we recommend playing the first episode first or at least watching the anime, which will illuminate the full beginnings that are referenced a lot here.

Century: Age of Ashes is a very interesting idea for a game, and if you have friends who are equally in tune with the fantasy world, then all you have to do is form a team and hurrah for the saddles! The graphics and gameplay are very good, but as it happens with online games, the beginnings are hard and the enemies won't give you anything for free. Closed Beta is currently available on Steam and the release date is planned for April 2021.

Vampire's Fall Origins is a solid RPG that will keep you entertained, however I think the developers will mainly focus on the mobile version and the PC version was more to attract people to the mobile version. That's why I recommend trying the mobile version of the game first, which is free, and then if you enjoy the game, buy Vampire's Fall Origins on Steam. The game has Czech localization.

Green Hell is no walk in the park and that's exactly what makes it an excellent survival game. The game can go wrong at any moment and death is always close at hand. This will force you to fully concentrate and thoroughly enjoy the gaming experience this title offers. Not to mention the beautiful graphics of the surroundings that you will fall in love with.

The House of Da Vinci 2 is a brilliant and well-thought-out game that can take four hours or more to play, depending on your skill level. The fun gameplay will sweep you away as soon as you solve the first step, and you won't want to stop. Beautiful graphics, Czech localization and dubbing will catch your attention... unfortunately, as it is usually the case with puzzle games, replayability lags a bit and the mystical atmosphere and the joy of discovery disappears on the next playthrough. If you ignore the sometimes fidgety controls, you can put yourself in Giacomo's shoes and combine the events of the first and second episodes into one.

Black Legend is a very pleasant surprise for me. Combining real historical elements of the 17th century with alchemy and mythical creatures from folklore into a turn-based strategy game, where you can also combine different job classes with lots of weapons and equipment, is really successful.

Inked is a simple mobile game to make your free time more enjoyable. In addition to beautiful graphics and pleasant background music, it will also offer you a strongly emotional story, at the end of which you may not be able to avoid a little tears. It's just a pity that we didn't get more challenges in the form of harder puzzles or longer game time. You can finish the title in 2-3 hours, which isn't much, but it's quite enough to convey a strong message. No matter what bad things happen to you in life, you just have to move on and not wallow in your pain forever.

Bottom line, Until You Fall offers a very solid VR experience for its price, offering a lot of variability and replayability even with the limited maps. The only blemish is the lack of additional campaigns, which we would expect to see in a game hundreds of crowns more expensive. It took me a while to get into some of the mechanics, but in the end I was hooked enough that I can recommend it to you and give it a high rating.

Although Hellbound has a short campaign that you're able to finish in two hours, I don't think it's a bad title that doesn't deserve a place in your library. If you're a gamer who enjoys Serious Sam or Doom style games, Hellbound will not disappoint. Sure, it's not as polished and a lot of things could be improved, such as a greater variety of enemies, a repertoire of weapons or a longer campaign, but it's still a pretty good title that you can buy on Steam for €12.49.

Cloud Gardens is an experimental game, so it's clear that not everyone will enjoy the title; a certain amount of friendliness will be required from the player. If you take this into account, you're in for a relaxing and soothing affair, from which you can take away an unusual experience and maybe even some nice screenshots. What's all the more disappointing, however, is the underdeveloped item and camera controls, which make gameplay unnecessarily difficult in places. The game is still in Early Access for now, though, so one can hope for future improvements.
