7 / 10 - Avowed
Feb 25, 2025

Avowed is a derivative, but tightly constructed game, with reinforced edges so nothing spills over. It’s probably the easiest RPG to get into in years, and extremely suitable for total beginners.

So, what’s wrong with Sid Meier’s Civilization VII? Simply put, everything, across the board, is inferior to the previous game. Seventh is devoid of content and charm, it has dumbed-down crucial mechanics, but its greatest sin is drawing inspiration from the lesser clones of Civilization.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is the first serious contender for GOTY 2025.

I've come out through all the trials and tribulations of the Zone and all that was left on the other side was I, Stalker. That's all I wanted from this game, and it fully delivered.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard shares no true DNA ancestry with RPGs. It is at best an Assassin’s Creed look-alike, a Hogwarts Legacy wannabe, but its infantile and banal storytelling makes it more of a Roblox game in a grown-ups’ graphics engine. There’s an argument to be made that this game was made by the new generation for the new generation of gamers. The point of its existence is not to raise and discuss serious topics or explore dark emotions. It’s here to provide good fun. Its target audience seems to be your average high schooler. You don’t want to bother him with topics of racism, religion, oppression, inequality, dogmatism, relationships, social interactions and other big topics previous games in the series tackled. Give him positive reinforcement, fairy-tale cartoonish looking worlds and loot. I think Bioware thinks very little of the new generation if this is their vision of what a game for them should look like.

From the graphical presentation, that is top notch, to almost completely bug free gameplay, Star Wars Outlaws is a game hard to find a fault with.

7 / 10 - Homeworld 3
May 20, 2024

Homeworld 3 is a somewhat competent shadow of its great progenitor from 1999.

8 / 10 - Botany Manor
Apr 8, 2024

Botany Manor has a lot going for it. The puzzles are fun and engaging, but never frustrating. Due to the really brief length alone, Botany Manor falls just short of being something truly extraordinary.

7 / 10 - Highwater
Apr 7, 2024

Highwater is a post-apocalyptic tactical narrative adventure with a laid-back attitude and a distinct south-eastern European vibe.

The sequel to the iconic Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen from 2012. doesn’t radically depart from its predecessor. Instead of revolutionary changes, it brings refinement across the board. It’s big, content-rich, and complex but very easy to jump into.

The method of storytelling, acting, and character motivations are distinctively Japanese, potentially alienating some audiences. The visuals are also a mixed bag. But all that hardly matters when katanas start whizzing around. This is an excellent game with rough looks, doing its own thing.

Although not perfect, with its clumsy combat and a limited variety of foes, the things that’ll stick with you are the story and the characters, and those ooze zing in abundance.

Outcast: A New Beginning is a competent game from a technical standpoint but lags massively in the narrative and pacing departments. It looks beautiful, and the combat is OK, but the overabundance of fetching quests and weird world-building drags the whole thing down.

6 / 10 - Pacific Drive
Feb 23, 2024

Watching the pre-release teasers, I was under the impression that Pacific Drive would be a sort of an interactive road movie. Instead, we got a rogue-lite car action with the interaction limited to avoiding colored blobs in the environment and recycling trash for progress.

It is filled with some great ideas and I can see that it could have been something exceptional. Unfortunately, there’s simply not much here apart from the calming effect of sailing through a rather pretty world and several thrills that can soon become chores.

Banishers is a long and content-rich game, with an excellent combat system, over-the-top love melodrama, and an open world that’s exciting but arduous to explore.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could have been something special. The immense effort and resources they spent on animation and acting set the standard for the superhero/villain games, but the cancerous, live-service looter shooter layer nullified most of it.

It draws inspiration from the great progenitor of the series from 1989, splicing the platforming formula with the modern Metroidvania concepts. In mixing the classic with the new while avoiding unnecessary gimmicks, it becomes the ultimate Prince of Persia.

8 / 10 - Ready or Not
Dec 27, 2023

Kicking the door down and ordering everyone to freeze or hit the dirt; is there a more exciting and fulfilling aspect of crime fighting? There are precious few games of this type, and S.W.A.T. 4 was probably the last great one. But now, after almost two decades, Ready or Not is here to upset the status quo.

I haven’t had this much fun in Metroidvania since Metroid: Dread. For that sentiment alone, the twenty-ish hours I spent inside this insidious Megastructure is completely justified.
