The Dying Light series is now complete thanks to The Beast, which unleashes the continuation of our hero Kyle’s story as he seeks revenge to preserve his honour. It’s a remarkable tale and an adventure filled with horror and emotion, set in a devastated yet richly detailed world, with the same enjoyable gameplay the series is known for. This is how we experienced Kyle’s journey: the enraged beast, thirsty for revenge for the sake of humanity and dignity! Unleash revenge! Unleash the beast!

"Borderlands 4 does not introduce major innovations to the series, but it focuses on delivering faster and deeper gameplay than ever before, preserving the core foundations while refreshing them. The experience becomes even more enjoyable when played cooperatively. Despite some technical issues and visual clutter that hinder the experience, it remains a highly recommended title for looter-shooter fans in general, and Borderlands fans in particular.

Kong Survivor Instinct delivers an enjoyable 2D platforming experience with Metroidvania elements, offering high-quality visuals. However, the story lacks excitement and some gameplay elements feel repetitive, though this does not significantly diminish the overall enjoyment of the experience.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap succeeded in introducing a fresh idea that set it apart from previous entries and other Tower Defense games, by combining direct action with trap-based strategy and defense. However, it fell short of expectations, as its multiplayer mode suffered from sluggishness and numerous technical issues, along with limited content and repetition. This makes it enjoyable at first, but tedious in the long run.

Hell Is Us is not just another action game; it is a unique experience whose strength lies in its atmosphere and free exploration, offering us something unlike anything we’ve experienced before. However, it is not without flaws. In the end, it is aimed at fans of exploration and mysterious stories, but not for those looking for a straightforward narrative or direct storyline.

Discounty offers a relaxing management and social experience with a beautiful artistic style, adding a fresh twist to cozy games by focusing on a store instead of a farm. Despite some repetition and a slower pace in later stages, the game remains enjoyable for fans of this genre.

Otherskin tries to deliver an experience inspired by modern shooters with a classic touch, but the end result feels closer to a PS2-era game — only with worse visuals. Its single enjoyable system isn’t enough to save a technically and artistically crumbling experience. And honestly, even if it were free, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Hollow Knight: Silksong delivers an exceptional, long-awaited Metroidvania experience that combines the thrill of challenge with stunning artistic direction, featuring tough and epic boss battles, breathtaking sound effects, and an immersive soundtrack. All of this comes at a low price compared to other games that cost several times more yet offer far less in terms of quality and content.

Metal Gear Solid Δ retells one of the greatest stories in gaming history, but it fails to deliver a true remake. It feels closer to a remaster with enhanced visuals, while the gameplay remains outdated and not up to today’s standards. In short, the game is primarily aimed at those who missed out on experiencing the third part. But if you’re expecting a remake that rivals modern ones, prepare for plenty of disappointments.

Bloober Team has partially succeeded in breaking away from its traditions with Cronos: The New Dawn, delivering a different identity built around the concept of time rifts and enemy fusion, which gave the experience a distinctive flavour. On the other hand, the studio strayed from its strength in crafting compelling stories, offering a survival journey that feels far removed from the sense of horror we had expected.

Hirogami offers an enjoyable classic platformer experience, blending simple gameplay with a unique origami-inspired artistic style. The level design is varied, and the transformations add a creative touch to the gameplay. While combat may feel simplistic and the dialogues lack voice acting, the overall atmosphere, music, and effects make up for these shortcomings, delivering a fitting experience for fans of classic games with a modern twist.

Lost Soul Aside is primarily aimed at those seeking to enjoy diverse combat mechanics and thrilling boss battles in a linear setting. However, it will fail to appeal to players looking for a vast adventure in a rich world or a meaningful story. And while it offers a beautiful artistic direction, the visuals still fall short of current-generation standards.

The Heretic + Hexen bundle offers a collection of classic first-person shooters with their authentic 90s style, enhanced by visual and audio improvements that bring more clarity and quality without compromising the core experience. It’s a great choice for retro gaming enthusiasts and those interested in exploring the history of the genre, though new players may find it less appealing due to its traditional design and some technical issues, such as weak hit detection and awkward movement.

We had an enjoyable experience with The Rogue: Prince of Persia, which delivers fast and fluid parkour, captivating music, and a striking artistic direction. However, the story feels shallow and the content relatively limited, making it a better fit for fans of roguelikes and lighter experiences.

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is not just an attempt to revive an old name, but rather an experience that blends the spirit of the past with a fresh new soul. It delivers a fun and smooth dose of action while staying true to the original identity of the series, enhanced with modern touches in both design and presentation. If you're a fan of the genre or looking for a 2D action game with a classic feel and beautiful visuals, you'll find an experience here that's well worth your time.

Fallen City Brawl brought back the nostalgic vibes of the arcade era, but it failed to deliver an experience on par with classic games of the past. The game is overly simple, extremely short, and annoyingly repetitive. While the local co-op mode and appealing pixel visuals are nice touches, they aren’t enough to make up for the lack of variety and depth in the overall experience.

inZOI offers an enjoyable life simulation experience with extensive freedom, combining character and home customization with a wide variety of professions and activities. It is supported by strong visuals and dynamic weather that add both realism and beauty to the world. Despite its stable performance, the limited scope of the world, slow texture loading, and some character interaction issues prevent it from being perfect. Still, it remains a promising experience for fans of this genre.

Abyssus tried to blend the excitement of first-person shooters with the progression system of roguelike games, but it failed to strike a balance that satisfies players. The repetition, slow pacing, and limited design choices made it feel like an early access title, despite being a full release. However, it still carries untapped potential that could have turned it into an unforgettable experience.

Deadzone: Rogue offers a fast-paced and enjoyable shooting experience. While it may be simple and somewhat repetitive, it delivers solid action for fans of roguelike games. It won’t impress you with its story or visuals, but it makes up for it with weapon variety and satisfying challenge. A game worth trying if you're looking for something different and lightweight.

Sword of the Sea was not just a fleeting experience, but one that surpassed all expectations. From its very first reveal, it was clear that we were witnessing a unique work and an enchanting journey. What the Giant Squid team delivered placed the game in a special league of its own, making it simply one of the standout titles of the year — and perhaps even one of the finest experiences of this entire generation.
