SILENT HILL f is definitely not the best installment in the series, but of course it's not the worst either. The game has many good elements, such as the script, puzzles, and overall atmosphere, but the quality set by these elements is hampered by a weak combat system, terribly designed battles, and the loss of the initial atmosphere from the beginning of the story. It was nice to see something completely new in the SILENT HILL series, but I think sticking to the titular town made more sense.

Dying Light: The Beast is a must-have for fans of the series, zombie lovers, and anyone who appreciates a dark, post-apocalyptic vision of the world where survival depends on fighting for resources. It is an incredibly atmospheric production with a sensational soundtrack, evocative gore, and impressive visuals. Above all, however, it provides a lot of fun from the gameplay itself. And it doesn't matter at all that we've seen it all before, that the game itself is incredibly repetitive and derivative, and that the plot, despite interesting and well-played characters, is silly, absurdly simple, and predictable. The Beast is addictive and will make you want to come back to it again and again, even after you've finished it.

Borderlands 4 is, unfortunately, a big disappointment, which, despite changing the formula, has neglected many important elements. The plot is formulaic and predictable, and while the gameplay is an improvement over its predecessor in many ways, in many cases it is a complete step backwards. I won't even mention the technical state of the game, because it's just sad. Unfortunately, my expectations have not been met.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a sequel that definitely did not disappoint and stood the test of time after a long wait. Team Cherry has delivered a unique game that will remain in my memory for years to come. It is definitely one of the best adventures I have experienced this year, and I eagerly await further adventures from this exceptional group of developers.

Although POSTAL Brain Damaged was completely different from the originals I loved, especially the second part, it still won my approval. This boomer shooter gave me a lot of fun and many hours of great entertainment. This makes it all the more painful that I cannot say the same about These Sunny Daze. The expansion turns out to be disappointing in almost every respect, although the core gameplay itself is still satisfying.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a very good survival horror game, but it was released too early. It's a game that should have been left to simmer a little longer before being served up to hungry gamers. The optimization definitely needs some work. In terms of gameplay, the game does not disappoint, although it does not bring much freshness to the genre. It can be described as a horror version of “all greatest hits,” taking the foundations of well-known and well-functioning mechanics and solutions, and then applying a characteristic filter steeped in Polishness.

Lost Soul Aside is a perfect example of wasted potential. Great combat is unfortunately not enough to make a good game. Virtually all other elements of the game are relics from 10 years ago or are simply poorly made. It's a shame, because the game had enormous potential and looked very good in the previews, but it's perfect proof that nowadays we can't take anything for granted.

Mafia: The Old Country is a game that undoubtedly has its problems and imperfections. It is not a perfect production, but it is definitely worth giving it a try. The Old Country may have a simple and unoriginal story, but the way it was written and executed deserves all the praise it gets. Following Enzo's story is truly engaging and can evoke a lot of emotion. It's simply a great gangster series that draws you in from the very first minutes.

Dead Take is a very good cinematic escape room with elements of psychological horror. Great acting, a well-crafted atmosphere, and interesting puzzles make for an interesting departure from Surgent Studios' first title. I hope the creators don't abandon this direction and stay with the horror genre in their future productions.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a successful comeback for the most popular gorilla in gaming history. Excellent platforming combined with a lot of destruction in a nice visual setting is a good start to this comeback, and I hope Nintendo will continue to use DK instead of leaving him for another 10 years. Of course, the game isn't perfect, and monotonous boss fights, poor optimization, and material fatigue after a while can take their toll.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is a truly great game. It looks phenomenal and offers a ton of content, both old and new. And the gameplay itself, designed years ago by the Neversoft team, has not aged a bit and still provides a lot of unbridled fun. This is a title worth paying attention to. Even older players, blinded by nostalgia and grumbling about everything under their breath, will play and won't stop. It's definitely a game worth playing, even if the developers have allowed themselves some deviations.

Persona 5: The Phantom X is an intriguing start to a long adventure that will stay with us for years to come. It is a production that fits very well into the atmosphere of the Persona series and builds on what Atlus has created over the past few years. It is also the perfect appetizer before the upcoming remake of the fourth installment of the series and Persona 6. Personally, I am sold and will be actively following the adventures of Wonder and his friends.

Date Everything is the blandest game imaginable. Visually, there is little to criticize. The character designs are polished, aesthetic, and cleverly reflect both the characters' personalities and their “object” identities. Add to that an impressive list of over a hundred voice actors, many of whom are well-known and respected names. Unfortunately, where the game should shine, i.e., in building relationships and character personalities, problems begin to arise. The characters are expressive, but often flat and uninteresting in terms of personality. They do not arouse curiosity or emotional involvement. In my case, and perhaps this is a matter of individual sensitivity, none of the characters aroused any sympathy. On the contrary, many of them were simply impossible to like. On top of that, there is a very weak main storyline, which, instead of providing an interesting counterpoint to the dating convention, remains an awkward addition that fails to hold the player's attention.

The plot, though far from light or pleasant, is truly engaging, and completing it leaves you with a feeling of existential emptiness. The gameplay itself, though seemingly simple, is addictive and very satisfying. It is impossible to remain indifferent to The Alters. At the moment, it is one of my favorite “smaller” titles of the year, which I can recommend to everyone with a clear conscience.

Objectively speaking, this is a really solid production which, although not without its flaws, such as wasted open-world potential and a somewhat confusing set of available characters, still does many things well. It looks very good, sounds phenomenal, and is technically flawless. There is a lot of content available at launch, and the design of the world and routes is impressive in its ingenuity. This title will certainly find its fans, and it can liven up more than one party. It is one of those games that I think is appreciated not so much for its depth, but for the lightness and joy it can give to the right person at the right moment.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a pleasant game to play for an hour or two, but the longer you play, the more boring it becomes. The longer you play, the more repetitive it becomes and you realize that there is no real idea behind the core gameplay. Not to mention that the game requires additional accessories to complete it 100%. One thing is certain. This should never have been a paid game.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master is a game with potential that it failed to fully exploit. There are a lot of good elements here, but it's clear that a lot is missing. Die-hard racing game fans will find it fun, but beginners will simply get bored. Gaming Factory put a lot of heart into this project, but unfortunately it didn't deliver in all aspects.

The Precinct is a game that is definitely worth giving a chance. It is not an outstanding title that will be forever etched in our memory. It has a lot of imperfections and even more bugs, but underneath this layer of problems is an enjoyable and addictive gameplay. I had a really good time, and I don't rule out that in the distant future, when all the bugs have been patched, and maybe we'll even see some kind of expansion, I'll be happy to return to this title.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is, for the moment, the best first-person shooter of this year, and I'm afraid that few titles will be able to threaten it in winning the well-deserved awards. It's a phenomenal game that I recommend to any fan of dynamic FPS games. While I love Eternal and it will remain in first place in my heart for a very long time to come, I can't escape the fact that its new, youngest brother is treading on its toes.

As a fan of foxes, I couldn't wait for the release of Spirit of the North 2. So it pains me all the more that it's one of the biggest disappointments of this year. It's a game that's just bad, and what's worse, it's becoming more and more difficult to bear with each passing hour. It's a production that's poorly optimized, unstable and full of ill-conceived or non-functioning mechanics. The first installment may not have been perfect, but it had its own identity and a clearly defined vision. The same cannot be said of the sequel.
