Only for historians or masochists. Modern players will find its flaws far outweigh its nostalgic charm.

While mechanically sound, The First Berserker: Khazan fails to innovate, its by-the-numbers narrative and uninspired worldbuilding relegate it to ‘just another’ genre entry.

Days Gone Remastered: Better visuals, same soul. Fixes the ‘how it runs’ but not the ‘why it drags.’ A solid upgrade for first-timers.

A triumph of faction-driven storytelling. The interwoven narratives of three desperate groups, each with distinct philosophies but shared survival needs, make every tactical decision resonate. Card-based mechanics and striking art frame this as a thinking player’s strategy gem.

Avowed redefines modern RPG expectations with its refined combat and accessible design, though its narrative and character development lack depth. Prioritizing technical polish over classical RPG complexity, it carves a unique niche, flawed but undeniably entertaining, and ultimately a worthy addition to the genre.

Steel Seed’s ambitious vision never fully coalesces. While its thought-provoking sci-fi narrative, solid art design, and creative gameplay concepts show promise, repetitive combat, technical hiccups, and uneven pacing drag the experience down. Best suited for AI-fiction enthusiasts, though action-seekers may find it lacking. Ultimately, a diamond in the rough is worth playing, but it needs polish to shine.

Leveraging creative systems and accumulated developer wisdom, Roadcraft achieves remarkable cohesion. Despite minor shortcomings, the $50 investment feels justified, as the core loop delivers both accessibility and strategic depth - a must-try for infrastructure simulation aficionados.

Wall Town Wonders’ beautiful VR city-building shines in bursts, but repetitive tasks and clunky controls keep it from reaching greatness, making it a soothing, if forgettable, PSVR2 experiment.

After a 26-year hiatus, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves returns to conclude its unfinished saga. While the game suffers from limited single-player content and occasional visual shortcomings, these flaws are largely overshadowed by its superb (if unconventional) roster, captivating soundtrack, and thoroughly enjoyable gameplay, ultimately delivering a classic, satisfying experience for players.

While Capcom Fighting Collection 2 delivers an impressive package of eight classic fighting games with newly added online functionality - a testament to Capcom's combat variety - several titles show their age, holding back what could have been a flawless retrospective.

As someone unfamiliar with the Goblin Slayer franchise, I found this to be an entirely average game that offers no distinctive advantages over similar titles in its genre. Only diehard fans of the source material seeking comprehensive franchise coverage will find value here - all others would be better served by superior alternatives within the genre.

The Thaumaturge offers a uniquely distinct RPG experience, excelling in its narrative execution while delivering unconventional gameplay and striking audiovisual design. This combination creates a profoundly engaging title for fans of story-driven, adventure-crime games. Priced at just $35, its value proposition is exceptional. If you seek a memorable, deep narrative experience and have the patience for thoughtful exploration, this is an absolute must-play.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands as an RPG masterpiece that redefines genre standards through its profound narrative, innovative gameplay systems, and utterly mesmerizing world. While minor imperfections exist, they pale against what is undoubtedly one of gaming's most unforgettable experiences - a title destined to be remembered as a watershed moment for RPGs.

Age of Mythology Retold delivers a masterful blend of nostalgia and modernity, preserving the original's charm while introducing significant visual and technical upgrades. Its unique fusion of history and mythology, engaging strategic gameplay (that still holds up), enchanting soundtrack, and improved AI make it stand out. While some may criticize the imbalance between mortal and mythic units, this remains an essential RTS experience - a one-of-a-kind title that mythology and strategy fans simply can't miss.

Caligo tackles a theme that is both simple and profoundly complex: the essence of life and how we live it, exploring human will and the art of choice. Unlike narrative-driven games that rely on interactive gameplay or relative freedom, Caligo places its entire weight on storytelling, requiring players to move from point A to B solely to advance dialogues. However, its deceptively simple yet deeply philosophical narrative, combined with a meaningful final choice, stands as its strongest asset. If you are passionate about philosophy and have pondered the meaning of life, this one-hour experience comes highly recommended

It is an echo of days that still breathe every step, glance, and moment tells a story lost to time. Tamriel is reborn with vibrant colors, intricate details, and cutting-edge technology, yet it retains the same legendary soul. Immerse yourself in this world and shut the gates of Oblivion once and for all.
