JDM: Japanese Drift Master seems to hit all the right notes for fans of Japanese drifting culture. You'll find a refined driving model, tons of great music, beautiful visuals, and a decent story, whose manga-style presentation will either draw you in even more or completely put you off. It's a shame that the picturesque map we get turns out to have few memorable locations and feels relatively lifeless. The traffic simulation is quite average. However, these shortcomings don't change the fact that sliding through corners in JDM: Japanese Drift Master was incredibly fun for me.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is an exemplary case of refreshing classic RTS games. The developers didn’t try to forcibly revolutionize or alter the iconic title but focused solely on enhancing its visuals and adapting it to the expectations of modern players. As a result, the game is equally enjoyable for veterans who remember the original and for new players encountering a real-time strategy game for the first time. Hopefully, this example will help other developers understand what truly matters in a great RTS.

Let yourself be consumed by this world. Let the emotions sweep you away. Just remember — you won’t be the same person when you finish Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that Clair Obscur is to the jRPG genre what The Last of Us was to TPP games in its time — sure, the budgets and studio sizes are incomparable, but this title is one of the biggest surprises of the last decade.

The Precinct is a title created with passion, and it shows in many ways. We get a wealth of options for dealing with criminals, from issuing fines to making arrests, and even engaging in shootouts. Each form of patrolling varies depending on the tools used, providing plenty of options and, above all, a lot of fun. However, the game suffers significantly from its current technical state, giving the impression that the delayed release wasn’t fully utilized.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle pleasantly surprised me. After some initially unjustified skepticism, it turned out that the creators have a great understanding of the film original and have crafted a game that puts a strong emphasis on exploration and solving fairly challenging puzzles. The title captures the spirit of the original well and takes the player to several truly unique locations where you can spend hours uncovering hidden secrets. The story itself also unfolds in an incredibly intriguing direction, allowing you to feel like a true adventurer eager to unravel an ancient mystery.

The First Berserker: Khazan proved to be a game as challenging as it is captivating. The developers paid attention to aspects that often caused frustration in soulslike games and implemented improvements in favor of the player. At the same time, the game boasts combat dynamics very similar to slashers, which turned out to be a successful idea. The variety of enemies encourages experimentation not only in terms of tactics, but also in character skills and attributes. In my opinion, this title is the best action RPG in years.

Forza Horizon 5 is the best racing game on the market, especially when it comes to arcade-style driving. Mexico proved to be the perfect setting for hosting another festival, bringing back the sunny vibe of the Australian third installment. However, the new edition doesn’t revolutionize the series; it’s more of an evolution of what we’ve already seen, with the biggest novelty being the map. The game still looks stunning and leaves the competition far behind, serving as an example of a perfectly developed GaaS.

It's a solid PC port and still technically beautiful, but also incredibly boring with a lackluster story and forgettable side characters. Even when it does something well, it throws it at the player so often that it stops being enjoyable.

It's a remarkable game, but certainly not for everyone. Fans of gathering, crafting, and world exploration will be delighted, despite somewhat dull story quests and repetitive, chaotic combat. Other players may feel slightly overwhelmed by the side activities that dominate the narrative layer of the game. I found it great that the series stays true to the traditions that shaped it, rather than sacrificing them for greater accessibility or appealing to a broader audience at all costs.

I've been playing VR games for a long time, but I haven't had this much fun recently with any other title. It's an engaging, dynamic, and quite polished. If you have Meta Quest goggles, I highly recommend buying Skydance's Behemoth — you won't be disappointed.

BLEACH Rebirth of Souls is a solid representative of fighting games with an original concept. The battles are extremely satisfying, and you can truly feel the power of these characters. However, Tamsoft did a mediocre job with the task of creating a game adaptation of the anime. On one hand, they included a lot of accurate content from the world’s lore. On the other hand, when it comes to presenting events through in-engine cutscenes, there are noticeable oversights and errors that could have been avoided. Nevertheless, this is undoubtedly the best BLEACH game to have hit the market so far. Both fighting game veterans and fans of Japanese pop culture will have a great time with this title.

Atomfall is a very strange creation that has definitely taken a turn in the wrong direction. While exploration is enjoyable, it offers little rewards compared to time invested, largely due to a clunky inventory system and a general lack of interesting items to collect. The combat model is equally mediocre, missing basic mechanics like the ability to dodge. This could have been a decent attempt at creating a good immersive sim that emphasizes freedom, but in the end, it's just mediocre.

Commandos: Origins is a production which quality is closer to the cheap Polish wine 'Komandos' than to the legendary series that won the hearts of many gamers worldwide. It’s a great pity because the developers had some really cool ideas and solutions that were completely overshadowed by poor execution and countless bugs that hinder gameplay. Of course, veterans of the series will find their 'guilty pleasure' in completing extremely difficult tasks and reloading the game every few minutes, but they deserve much more.

So, is it worth playing Rise of the Ronin? I think so. Especially if you enjoy clearing a map filled with scattered markers. There’s a good chance the game might wear you out before you finish it, but you can always come back to it after a break to check off a few more collectibles. Personally, I’m looking forward to a sequel because it’s a pretty solid foundation that Team Ninja could expand on.
