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.

South of Midnight is a game that can surprise with its specific, interesting atmosphere, but at the same time, it lacks a 'wow' factor. All the elements present in the game are executed solidly, but 'solidity' alone isn’t enough to stand out among the premieres of other modern titles. Despite a certain 'blandness,' we get a game with an engaging story, dynamic gameplay, arcade-style platforming elements, and decent combat. If you enjoy linear, story-driven games with slight exploration and character progression, you’ll have a good time with South of Midnight. It’s simply a good game.

MLB: The Show 25 is a must-have for baseball fans. Players who are passionate about MLB games and know the rules of this sport will be thrilled. It’s a shame though that the developers at San Diego Studio didn’t make more of an effort to draw in people who haven’t previously engaged with this sport. The lack of a good tutorial might discourage many players from diving into the very realistic and challenging gameplay model. However, if you manage to break through that barrier, there’s a lot of great fun waiting for you.

Split Fiction is one of the best titles I’ve had the chance to play. It was created by true industry enthusiasts who poured a ton of heart into the game. It’s a cooperative masterpiece that could serve as a textbook example of a job well done. It’s a long, diverse story that’s perfect for spending quality time with someone close to you. The blend of fantasy and science fiction turned out to be a bullseye, and the creators seized the opportunity, delivering a wealth of creative solutions.

Two Point Museum does not disappoint. It’s another well-crafted entry in the series that consistently surprises with its ideas. As always, we’re dealing with exaggerated humor that works perfectly in games of this type. Managing a museum requires focusing on different goals than in the case of hospitals or campuses, but it’s still a very enjoyable and engaging experience for many hours.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a really great production that will appeal to both series veterans and entirely new players. The variety of monsters, engaging combat, large arsenal of weapons, and well-designed crafting make every hunt truly exciting. However, we can’t overlook certain flaws, such as the outdated graphics, unnecessary microtransactions, and a lackluster story, which further emphasizes that playing the game solo is far less enjoyable than hunting with friends. Still, it’s definitely worth going on this hunt!

The Troop, will provide many hours of great fun, occasionally interrupted by pulling your hair out when you have to start a mission from scratch yet again. However, following the example of our ancestors who, after losing the defensive war in 1939, did not give up and continued fighting beyond their homeland, we too should not surrender. Instead, we should learn from our mistakes and push forward. The game is definitely worth mastering to later derive a ton of fun from it. I wish myself and all of you a great deal of patience and even more fun with this exceptional strategy title.

Throughout the entire game, I had an unpleasant feeling that this was the work of a team taking their first steps on such a large project, heavily drawing from the achievements of their predecessors. This title doesn’t mark a new beginning for the series. On one hand, we get a few innovations that feel like a step forward, but on the other, things that worked well in previous entries are either handled sloppily here or have been completely cut out. It’s a decent option for fans of clearing map markers, but overall, it’s a mediocre production that squandered the potential of a setting that fans of this IP have been waiting for years.

This game is a true tribute to Goro Majima and a wonderful gift for fans of this character. It’s also a perfect example of how spin-offs of well-known series should be created. It draws the best elements from the franchise while introducing plenty of innovations and successful experiments that give it its own unique style.

This isn’t the best installment of Sid Meier’s Civilization I’ve played. The changes introduced don’t appeal to me. However, I understand where this decision came from — after all, the series has to evolve. The question remains: are these the changes we were expecting? Perhaps people who spent thousands of hours in Civilization will enjoy it more, and the new mechanics might surprise them with their possibilities. Still, I feel like the series has lost its original character, and this repeated redefinition of gameplay won’t do the developers any favors.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is a title I can wholeheartedly recommend only to the biggest fans of the series and hardcore retro enthusiasts. It’s by no means a bad game, but it should have been better adapted to modern standards. I believe that Lara Croft’s classic adventures deserve proper remasters, not just a slight facelift that improves textures and boosts resolution.

Alien: Rogue Incursion on the Meta Quest 3 is a fine game. Although the graphical compromises compared to other platforms are significant, I still had quite a good time playing this title. Unfortunately, the ending of the game really bored me, and running around the map just to extend the gameplay time is something I always consider a big downside in any title. Despite these flaws, I can recommend this game and I suggest reserving multiple shorter play sessions instead of one long to avoid falling victim to tedious backtracking.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is undoubtedly a game of its own kind. On one hand, it maintains the complexity expected from simulators, while on the other, it offers many solutions found in games of other genres. This makes it a title not only for hardcore gamers seeking the utmost realism, but also one worth considering for more casual players, regardless of the type of experience they seek.

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is truly a successful sequel. If you liked the first part, you'll get an experience here enriched with elements that players have been waiting for. This title is bigger and more advanced than the original, yet it still adheres to the mechanics that were loved. However, the experience might be slightly cumbersome for players unfamiliar with the series. The artistic style might suggest a game aimed at a younger audience, but the high difficulty level on default settings will quickly test the player's skills.

Every encounter raised my adrenaline, and while hearing the roar of approaching monsters, my hair stood on end more than once. Metro Awakening is not one of the best game on VR hardware, but also one of the best titles I've played in recent years.
