Drone Swarm from Stillalive Studios is a good RTS, in which fast action and above all your nimble reflexes play the main role. Definitely don't expect any strategic planning or much logical thinking. The title boasts an idea that's a little different from most other RTSs, and undoubtedly a great visual component. What disappoints, on the other hand, is the worse optimization and weaker story, which doesn't play such a big role in this type of game.

Attentat 1942 introduces you to a specific period of our Czechoslovak history in a relatively non-violent way. You will learn basic and, if you are interested, advanced facts about the Second World War and the life of the people at the time, all wrapped up in an investigation of the events surrounding your grandfather's arrest. The gameplay isn't complex and don't expect any outright action here, but it's still a title you definitely shouldn't miss.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is definitely not just a story about retrieving a dead lover from the underworld, nor is it an epic tale of revenge. Rather, it's about experience, upbringing, and contextualizing psychological difference in the age of the Vikings and Celts. Almost every aspect of the game, be it combat, puzzling, exploration, is deliberate and points to the theme of what people at the time called "the curse". The game very successfully weaves metaphors of grief and loss into the core gameplay mechanics and rich folklore. And is there a happy ending at the end? Will Senua save her beloved Dilion? Well, you'll have to find out for yourself.

The Ascent is an excellent shooter that you can enjoy alone or in the company of friends. If you are an avid collector and explore everything you can, you can stretch your playing time to a nice forty hours. If you're only interested in the story, The Ascent will keep you entertained for about fifteen hours. The graphics are really great and the soundtrack only deepens the cyberpunk atmosphere. The combat is dynamic, aggressive and the destructible environment is the icing on the cake. The character dubbing is also great. I can definitely recommend this title.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a hilarious game set in the alternate world of Wolfenstein. The Nazi Paris of the 80's is really hilarious, you can see the attention to precision and detail. However, the gameplay suffers heavily under the AI and is primarily focused on playing with another live player. Overall, this is an average title that tries to get the most out of the world of Wolfenstein and set it in a modern gameplay setting.

In conclusion, I can only add that it is only in the last hour that it finally starts to become clear who is the suspect and who is involved. Quite a surprising conclusion. The game gives a rather relaxing impression, nothing too complicated. It will take you something around eight to ten hours, depending on the difficulty and your reading speed.

The game still has quite a lot of potential, despite the more boring parts, and I personally can't wait to see what the developers will present to us next. However, I recommend playing it more with friends in multiplayer, you'll have more fun overall.

Maybe you can forgive the game for its horrible repetition, boring, practically zero story and useless diplomacy, which probably serves only as a gameplay enhancement. What you get is a promising title that's really great for the first few hours. But unfortunately, really only for the first few hours. It's a huge shame, because this title could have been just as great as, say, the aforementioned XCOM 2. Empire of Sin has great graphics and a 1920s atmosphere that could be sliced up. This experience is accentuated by the great historical music. However, the positive aspects of the game end there.

Omno is simply a beautiful adventure game full of colour, life and satisfaction. Even though it's a relatively short title, you won't be stuck with just one playthrough most of the time. Jonas Manke has done a great job over the five years of development, and all the effort, care and love put into this project is terribly evident.

Garbage is definitely not garbage to throw away. The overall gameplay is very hilarious, the survival elements, base building and homeless gang exercises are very catchy and addictive, all wrapped up with a humorous touch. The brisk progression through the game within the variety of environments and skills also adds to the beauty here. If you want a hilarious survival of the homeless, on a relaxing note with Czech localization, then the game fulfills its purpose perfectly.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 4 is undoubtedly an interesting racing title, which, however, in its focus and processing will fit rather die-hard fans of the genre, and thus racing games. The game's well-designed career mode is fun to play, and the constant upgrading and training of your driver works well. We also like the difficult gameplay, which as a player you have to adapt to, and in which any possibility of different driving assistants is eliminated. An equally good aspect is the detailed customisation of the rider, which you can customise to your liking and even use officially licensed clothing to do so. What hurts the game, on the other hand, is the poor AI, mediocre graphics and the unbalanced difficulty of your opponents.

Dirt 5 is a very good title that revives the arcade racing genre and combines it with nice graphics, music and effects. Even without DLC, the game offers a fairly long career mode, a variety of real cars, well-designed tracks and a mix of different racing events and styles. So if you are one of those gamers who want to race, so to speak, to relax, enjoy the graphics and fine music, Dirt 5 is a clear choice.

More than a logical adventure, INMOST is a kind of tool for communicating and interpreting topics that are not talked about much. The idea of the whole title left a powerful experience in me that sticks with me for days after finishing it. The pixelated visuals, along with the perfectly matched music and eerie atmosphere of the title, fit perfectly, and I can't imagine everything working so well together if even one component was a little different. Nothing distracts from the plot, quite the opposite. An average of four hours may not be enough for some, but for me it was completely enough.

Kona is a tasteful walking simulator that tries to combine survival elements with detective point and click gameplay. However, as the game takes place virtually over the course of a day and night, you'll find certain elements rather confining at times. In terms of gameplay, however, this is a very enjoyable piece of work with puzzle solving opportunities. However, the last part of the game, which had a real charge and atmosphere, flew by very quickly.

Lost Ember doesn't particularly excel in the field of fun and engaging gameplay, but its amazing story and enchanting world immediately draw you in. You'll want to know more, uncover new memories and piece the plot together to be rewarded with a heart-stopping finale that won't leave your eyes dry. The theme of reaching the afterlife is conceived in a simple but fascinating way against the backdrop of an almost fairytale-like world. The reincarnation mechanics add to the title's interest, it's just a shame about the controls and occasional glitches.

Trine Enchanted Edition is a beautiful relaxing game, which is great fun alone or in a group. In some passages you have to think a bit about how to get further, but you probably won't get stuck anywhere during the game. The level of the enemies is also not very challenging, but it gets a lot higher towards the end. All in all, Trine Enchanted Edition is a very good piece of work that brings us an extraordinary experience. The game's artwork will certainly enchant you, whether you're fighting in the night forest or jumping over fierce blades in the underground. What's disappointing about Trine Enchanted Edition is the really short game time. In fact, you enjoy the game so much that you could have stayed with it for much longer. If you like to bother your head, train your patience on the rotating platforms and enjoy the fairy-tale beautiful environment, then you should definitely give Trine Enchanted Edition a try.

Haydee plays in many ways similarly, or rather the same, as its second sequel, with the only different mechanics being jumping and climbing. Still, this is a good action game with survival horror elements that will keep you glued to the screen for quite some time. With various modifications you can spice up the game with your favourite characters, new locations, tunes or even new weapons. As a small bonus, I also see the Czech localization, which shouldn't even be here. But if you're interested in Haydee mainly for the logical elements, I must disappoint you, because "logical elements" here means only climbing and skipping all sorts of things.

Rail Route is a very addictive, but also quite complex game that in my opinion is not for everyone. When playing it, the player must arm himself with the necessary amount of patience, engage his imagination and also think a lot. What I clearly praise about the game is the idea itself, as there is no simulator of this kind on the gaming market. We must also mention the detailed management, where even a minor mistake can have fatal consequences for the player. It is also worth mentioning the very simple and great-looking visuals and pleasant music, which fits perfectly into the overall atmosphere.

The Forest has been one of the best survival games for several years now, and it's not easy to top it somehow. Few other similar titles can offer what The Forest has been offering for years. You and your friends are sure to have dozens of hours of fun searching through caves, killing cannibals, finding your son and building your base. The development studio has even announced a sequel, which will be titled Sons of the Forest. Unfortunately, the release date is not yet known.

Dreamscaper has great gameplay mechanics, immersive and addictive gameplay, beautiful environments, enjoyable music, deep thought, and most importantly, passionate developers who give 200% to the title. The constant updates and listening to the community's feedback show how much time and love is put into this project. The affordable price is another plus that makes this engaging adventure almost a cinch to enjoy. Smaller details may still be tweaked by the developers before the full game is released, so I'm curious to see how far Dreamscaper will go in the future. However, I already find the title almost polished.
