Little Nightmares 3 is a step in the right direction for the series, which has the potential to grow into an excellent co-op franchise. Its linear horror story can be genuinely terrifying, and the monsters stalking the children are among the best designs in the entire series. The cooperative gameplay adds real depth, and solving puzzles together works wonderfully. It’s a real shame, though, that there’s no split-screen mode. At least the developers included a Friend’s Pass, meaning only one copy of the game is needed for both players.

2.75 / 5.0 - UBOAT
Oct 4, 2025

Uboat is a simulator that demands a significant investment of time. This applies both to learning the basics of gameplay and to fulfill scenarios goals. For this reason, it’s definitely not a game for everyone — especially console players. Why? Because the controls are just pure awful, and developers decided to remove mouse support from the console version altogether anyway. This looks like a fine game in its core, but just not on the consoles due to poor execution.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a wonderful game and an absolute must-play for all fans of the genre. It has all the essential elements of a model JRPG, and instead of trying to impress with flashy graphics, it captivates through an excellent story, engaging gameplay, and a unique atmosphere. It’s another title that proves to modern developers that in the race for innovation, it’s sometimes better to stop and look back. I sincerely hope Nihon Falcom will give us the joy of experiencing the later entries in the series, which until now have been reserved only for Japanese players.

Jotunslayer: Hoders of Hel is a great alternative to Vampire Survivors, with the potential to go even further while also offering some interesting twists of its own. For now, though, the developers haven’t fully tapped into the possibilities of their game. The core gameplay is extremely satisfying, and the Nordic atmosphere fits perfectly. What I can’t understand, however, is why the brutality has been toned down so much. Unfortunately, that drawback casts a shadow over the overall experience.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a wonderfully crafted platformer that keeps surprising players with its original ideas right up until the very end. It’s clearly a project made with genuine love for the franchise, one that elevated the series to a completely new level of quality. It’s the first truly large-scale Kirby game, and it absolutely delivered. Even though I hadn’t had much experience with the adorable pink puffball before, I instantly became a fan!

It’s clear that the studio still hasn’t returned to the form it lost somewhere around the release of Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Their latest title feels like a work heavily inspired by the cult classic from 2015 but at the same time produced by the same team that screwed up the sequel. The lack of fresh, successful gameplay ideas is very noticeable here.

Lost Soul Aside doesn’t hold up in any other respect. Every additional hour with it was a dose of boredom and frustration, thanks to the dreadful camera work and the clunky controls of the main character, which lack any sense of physics. It’s just incredibly bland. It doesn’t do anything well enough to actually draw players in.

The title is exactly what it was twenty years ago, just prettier. The industry however, hasn’t been frozen in time, so certain elements fall short of today’s standards. Still, it's fun if you remember about few cons.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji is a huge disappointment. The map is practically identical, filled with the same activities we already know, and we run across it guided by a story that uses the very same motives and scenes we encountered in the base game. Is this an expansion aimed at the most die-hard fans of the series? Ubisoft — is that really all you’ve got?

9 Years of Shadow is a very intriguing production with an excellent, old-school audiovisual style. However, it is definitely a title aimed at fans of metroidvanias, who should consider it a must-play. Other players may complain about the high difficulty level, formulaic structure, and repetitive gameplay. Nevertheless, the developers have delivered a technically solid and polished game that is undoubtedly worth attention. Play it if only for the soundtrack alone, which is truly outstanding.

Drag x Drive is a failed experiment from Nintendo. Once again, we get an innovative but significantly flawed project that will ultimately remain just a strange curiosity. The title stands out with its well-designed and immersive controls, but then doesn’t let us truly enjoy them. The focus on multiplayer gameplay, given such repetitive and limited content, was a huge mistake.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a strong, triumphant return of the famous gorilla, proving that he still has plenty of energy and charisma. The destruction mechanics sets this game apart from other platformers, offering a sense of freedom that’s challenging to find elsewhere. The world is beautiful, the characters are charming, and the gameplay is engaging. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely worth diving into this adventure.

Cronos: The New Dawn surprised me above all with its unique type of narration and the blend of post-apocalyptic Poland with true portrayal of everyday life in the PRL era. I’m convinced not everyone will share my enthusiasm, but for me, Cronos is a game I would gladly pay even 350 PLN for, much more than the developers themselves suggest, and despite the higher price, I would feel fully satisfied with the purchase.

9.5 / 10.0 - Hell Is Us
Sep 1, 2025
Hell Is Us — Recenzja Lupy Godlajka video thumbnail
- Luto
Aug 31, 2025

Luto is proof that video games can address difficult topics with delicacy and empathy, but also with a strength never seen before. It’s a horror that doesn’t frighten with monsters, but with the truth about human pain. And although it’s short, it resonates for a very, very long time.

Mafia: The Old Country is like the finest Italian feast. It doesn’t matter that some of the plates the dishes are served on are slightly scratched, as we leave the restaurant full, happy, and a little drunk. I’m truly glad the developers weren’t afraid to return to the roots of the series, highlighting what has always been its greatest strengths. The newest Mafia is a wonderful game that delivers many outstanding experiences and keeps you on edge until the very end. Without a doubt, it’s one of the contenders for Game of the Year.

3.75 / 5.0 - Herdling
Aug 21, 2025

Herdling is an example of an artistic work that aims to engage the player with more than just gameplay. It’s a very short title that manages to impress with beautiful scenery, excellent music, and the atmosphere and immersion of the Swiss mountain landscapes. However, strong competition may prevent the game from breaking through to contemporary audiences, who are content with their love for competing title — Journey.

The refreshed version of Super Mario Party Jamboree is a truly fantastic party game, especially enjoyable in good company. With over 100 mini-games and a wide range of modes to choose from, it offers countless hours of fun. The title keeps surprising in positive ways at every turn, making it a must-have for every Switch 2 owner.
