It seems like a wave of Chinese Soulslike-inspired games is flooding the market, and Wuchang is one of them. Much like Wukong, it’s been surrounded by plenty of buzz and controversy.
Sword of the Sea felt like stepping into a living painting. Its distinct art style, which has become Giant Squid’s signature, combined with a powerful and fitting soundtrack, creates moments of pure serenity.
When I played the original Death Stranding, I called it a double-edged sword: you’d either fall in love with it or be unable to survive even a minute. Death Stranding 2, however, moves beyond that divisive framework. It’s designed to appeal to a wider audience, yet without abandoning the core of what made the original so distinctive.
In the end, Lies of P: Overture is one of those DLCs that feels essential if you’ve played the base game; it completes the narrative in a meaningful and satisfying way.
In the end, Blue Prince is more than just one of the most creative games of 2025; it’s one of the best puzzle games in recent years. It proves that great gaming experiences don’t always need realistic graphics, massive open worlds, or endless cutscenes.
Split Fiction stands among the most significant releases of 2025, and in my opinion, it belongs on the list of games you simply must experience before you die.
Expedition 33 is not only one of the best games of 2025 but, in my opinion, easily ranks among the top 10 games of the past decade, fully deserving a perfect score.
Overall, Elden Ring Nightreign has defied expectations and become a highly successful and addictive title. It’s worth noting that in its early days, the game didn’t have the level of polish it has now, and FromSoftware has transformed it into what it is today with each update.
In the end, DOOM: Dark Ages is still a fast-paced, chaotic first-person shooter that stays loyal to DOOM’s core identity.
While Assassin’s Creed: Shadow may not be a masterpiece, it marks a successful return to the franchise’s roots—an experience long absent from the series. Its gameplay delivers genuine satisfaction, ensuring hours of engaging entertainment.
Let’s circle back to our original question: does innovation and novelty always translate to a good gaming experience? The short answer is: no! Tales of Iron 2 could have been something special – or at least a better game. But unfortunately, innovation for the sake of innovation held it back.
Overall, Indiana Jones pays homage to a legendary name, offers a delightful gift to adventure and tomb-raiding enthusiasts, and is a polished first-party title for Microsoft. With its upcoming release on PS5 in the next few months, it presents a great opportunity for a successful investment.
In summary, Dragon Age: The Veilguard heralds the revival of Bioware, and we can expect this well-known studio to return to its glory days in the future. However, it’s clear that Veilguard, despite its positive aspects, bears little resemblance to a Dragon Age game, but it is still a good game that you shouldn’t miss out on.
In conclusion, The Plucky Squire is one of those unique experiences that surprises you at every moment. Play the game, sit back, and enjoy ten hours of pure delight!
Silent Hill 2 is the remake fans needed and the remake they deserved.
In conclusion, Neva offers a remarkably enjoyable journey with unique challenges, immersing you in its fantasy world and story, evoking a range of emotions from start to finish without feeling repetitive or out of sync.
In conclusion, Astro Bot, as a platformer game, has managed to become a serious contender for the Game of the Year title by drawing the right inspirations from major titles in this genre, adding a unique narrative design to revisit the history of video games, and implementing unique technical graphics.
In conclusion, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is so vast that each of its creative aspects deserves a separate article, and I couldn’t cover all of them in this review. A title belonging to the future that is available to us now. It’s one of the most entertaining and creative games released in 2024.
Sumerian Six, with its blend of classic controls and innovative mechanics, offers one of the most exciting and engaging isometric stealth experiences. The complex level design, various challenges, and dynamic environments force you to think and make choices.
Black Myth: Wukong is an ambitious video game that was rushed to be released. It could’ve been a serious contender for Game of the Year awards, but at this state, with the myriad of gameplay and technical problems, it’s just a mediocre game.
