It's just as good as the first one, and that's both a good and bad thing.

Humankind has grand, sweeping ideas and it almost pulls them off. The scope is understandably limited compared to Civilization, but this is the kind of ambitious game design that deserves praise for trying, even if it doesn't always succeed.

Road 96 is a dynamic, episodic road-trip adventure set in a dystopian country on the brink of revolution. Blending light survival mechanics, procedural storytelling, and branching choices, the game follows six teens escaping to the border by any means necessary. With memorable characters, meaningful decisions, and replayable structure, it offers a unique take on narrative gaming—despite its simplicity and occasional repetition.

Last Stop is a supernatural narrative adventure set in modern-day London, told through the interwoven stories of three distinct characters. While its dialogue and voice acting shine, the limited player agency, excessive walking segments, and lack of meaningful consequences dull the impact. Despite its compelling mystery and strong atmosphere, the game ultimately feels more like an interactive drama than a truly interactive experience.

A dire and unfun attempt at sprucing up one of the worst "sports" ever invented.

Skyward Sword is one of those Zelda titles that has aged the worst, yet it's still a part of a franchise that I love to bits, and that counts for something. The story is grand and ambitious, and that makes up for a flawed gameplay experience. At least a little.

It's the first two classics perfectly remastered, now in the palm of your hand. What more could you want?

Final Fantasy VII was a masterpiece when it was first released. Its remake is an ambitious attempt at recontextualizing the classic dieselpunk adventure for modern audiences, and it's a roaring success. It's one of the great games of a generation.

I give Dark Alliance points for getting the visuals and the mood exactly right. It's just a shame they got everything else wrong.

Necromunda is a budget title, and as long as you remember that, you'll have fun with this Doom-clone set in the Warhammer 40k universe.

Cloudpunk: City of Ghosts is a strong narrative-driven expansion that builds on the neon-lit, dystopian world of Cloudpunk, offering more of what fans loved. While it doesn’t introduce new areas or mechanics, it excels in atmosphere, character development, and story depth, making it a worthy continuation. The occasional grind and repetitive delivery loops may wear thin, but the rich storytelling and immersive cityscape keep the experience compelling throughout its 20-hour runtime.

If we have to spend this long with characters we hate, at least make the exploration and biking mechanics fun. Instead, we get tedious busywork in fixing a bike that never feels like the real thing and a world full of fetch quests and very few scares.

I Sherwouldn't recommend this one to anyone.

Forgotten Fields attempts a heartfelt dual narrative about a struggling writer and his fantasy story but falters due to clunky controls, technical issues, and outdated design. While its warm, introspective tone and soundtrack offer some charm, the gameplay is bogged down by bugs, stiff animation, and lackluster visuals. Despite a decent ending and short runtime, the overall experience struggles to stay immersive or engaging, making it suitable mostly for achievement hunters or the most forgiving narrative game fans.

Disco Elysium is one of the greatest games ever made. It's a lyrical, smart, funny, heartbreaking, and dazzlingly inventive work of art that sets a new standard for the entire industry to follow.

Outriders delivers fast-paced, addictive looter-shooter action with satisfying combat mechanics, strong class variety, and a clever loot-mod system that encourages build experimentation. However, the experience is dragged down by its bland and repetitive mission design, a painfully linear world structure, forgettable story, and frequent technical issues like unstable servers. While the gunplay is engaging and the loot progression rewarding, its shallow writing and rigid structure prevent it from reaching its full potential—fun, but ultimately forgettable.

Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is a well-executed, modernized update of a classic RTS game. It enhances the original with updated graphics, a refined interface, new civilizations, gameplay modes, and built-in expansions—all without breaking the core experience. The familiar gameplay loop of gathering resources, building armies, and strategic battles remains satisfying, with multiplayer still being the game’s main strength. While not revolutionary, this edition is polished, reasonably priced, and offers plenty of content for both veterans and newcomers.

Spacebase Startopia is a humorous space station management game that revives the cult classic Startopia with updated visuals and gameplay. It features a multi-ringed space station where players build infrastructure, cater to alien tourists, and manage resources. While the game includes fun ideas and quirky AI commentary, it suffers from clunky controls, limited depth, and occasionally chaotic gameplay pacing. Despite a long campaign and multiplayer features, the game lacks the polish and charm needed to fully captivate, making it an amusing but ultimately forgettable experience.

Harvest Moon: One World has one thing going for it: it taught me to hate again.

Loop Hero is a deceptively simple-looking game where a warrior automatically loops around a path fighting monsters. While it starts off minimalistic, new mechanics are gradually introduced, revealing a surprisingly deep and layered experience. The core gameplay revolves around indirect control via gear and card placement, with each loop increasing difficulty. Strategic balance is crucial, as overloading the map with enemies or playing too conservatively can both lead to failure. The game features base-building, hidden mechanics, and a compelling “just one more run” loop. Despite some pacing issues, it delivers an addictive blend of roguelike, idle, and strategy elements that justify its popularity.
