“Stranded in the icy wilds with only a therapy bot for company, Arctic Awakening promises mystery and emotion but delivers frustration and bugs. There’s a great game buried in the snow, but it’s still waiting to be uncovered. Maybe the upcoming updates will help.”

“In The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature expansion pack, you'll grow wings and experience what the world looks like from a mischievous fairy's perspective. The best things were the fairy-like clothes and the natural life skills, but the new area Innisgreen was a bit lacking.”

“Atmospheric and story rich RPG with a hint of a detective mystery.”

“Millennia is a grand and demanding 4X strategy game that caters to players who crave complexity beyond Civilization. Its deep resource management, alternate historical ages, and massive scope create a rewarding experience for dedicated strategists. While AI shortcomings and shallow diplomacy remain issues, a year of updates has turned it into a polished and engaging title.”

“Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition now also brings the classic RPG to resent consoles with full controller support. From the outside, not much else has changed.”

“Time Flies is a short but clever game where you guide a fly through a bucket list of life goals before its inevitable death. Blending dark (and crass) humor with thoughtful design, it offers a light yet thought-provoking take on the fleeting nature of life.”

“Architect Life is a nice little design-your-own-house game, which is definitely not a hard core simulator, but should offer a modicum of fun for those on the highest rung of Maslow's ladder. There is little challenge, and some minor bugs and other annoyances, but at least this is an acceptable entry in a genre that is not too crowded.”

“Hitman World of Assassination is a rich and highly entertaining package with dozens of hours of content. However, the Switch 2 version suffers from technical limitations and a constant online requirement, which significantly hinders the experience when playing on the go.”

“Street Fighter 6 for Switch 2 is mostly an excellent port on one of the best figthing games for the current generation. But for some strange reason World Tour mode battles suffer from worse frame rate than rest of the game, which is a bit of shame on otherwise solid package.”

“The classic tactical FPS game with demanding learning curve and tight margins seeks new life with F2P model.”

“Despite its minor flaws, Stratogun is a minimalist, enjoyable, and visually striking arcade shooter that pushes players to their limits but rewards effort generously. It’s not the easiest game difficulty-wise, but thanks to its well-designed gameplay loop, frustration never really got the chance to set in.”

“Kvark is an old-school shooter that pays homage to Half-Life, but doesn't bring anything new to the genre. While it successfully captures the aesthetics and design quirks of turn-of-millennium games, its low-resolution textures, clunky enemy models, and frustrating gameplay mechanics make it feel outdated rather than nostalgic. The story unfolds through diary entries, posters and videos with a touch of Slavic sarcasm, but ultimately, the repetitive action and rigid save system remind players why modern shooters have evolved past these limitations.”

“The Horror at Highrook is a great pastime for fans of Lovecraft's stories and card & board games. The simple and fairly consistent gameplay loop from start to finish may not be the ultimate challenge for players who crave it. However, if you're looking for a relaxing card game in a horror-themed setting, The Horror at Highrook is a great choice for those sleepless summer nights.”

“Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall is a strong sequel to the original indie hit, blending narrative adventure with light resource management. Continuing directly from the first game, players once again balance the demands of ruling a medieval kingdom—making decisions for subjects, managing limited supplies, and navigating a branching story influenced by past choices. New mechanics, like prestige conversion and kingdom upgrades, deepen the strategy without overwhelming. The structure remains approachable, with clear guidance and manageable consequences. While not radically innovative, Snowfall offers more of what made the original so beloved—engaging storytelling paired with meaningful, strategic decision-making.”

“Out of Sight is a fairly traditional horror adventure, for better or worse. It's not terribly scary, and the puzzles are relatively straightforward, but it's still a fun game to play. The innovative camera angles add just enough novelty to the genre that you'll enjoy the short single-player story.”

“Without a Dawn feels down-to-earth, even small-scale compared to Jesse Makkonen's previous games, but at the same time it's a truly heavy experience. The visual novel takes you straight into darkness, both literally and figuratively.”

“Lushfoil Photography Sim is, as its name suggests, a simulator that requires dedication and enjoyment of a peaceful rhythm. With small updates, the title can be improved even more, but even now it offers an excellent basis for enjoying photography and visiting world-famous landscapes in search of peace. Of course, it is not a substitute for a proper photography course, but it may give an impetus to a new or forgotten hobby. The game is not for everyone, but for its target audience it is almost a perfect match.”

“Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, Don't Nod's latest episodic game, delivers a moving two-part story in the spirit of Life is Strange. It follows four women reuniting in their hometown, weaving 1990s nostalgia with present-day reckoning and hints of magical realism. The first episode is warm and reflective, while the second takes a darker turn, confronting past trauma. Strong writing and an inventive dialogue system shine, though technical issues, especially on PC, slightly dampen the experience. Still, it’s a compelling narrative that sets a strong foundation for future entries.”

“Investigating old stories and cases is fascinating. The cases are complex tangles, where the crime is clear, but finding the right culprit requires precision and reasoning. Unfortunately, the trials sometimes require too much understanding of the game developers' logic than the events of the crime itself, which is frustrating. Nevertheless The Darkest Files offers a fascinating peek into humanity's darkest moments and the aftermath - in the form of a puzzle game.”

“Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator is pretty mediocre title. There are some realistic puzzles which keep you occupied for a while. However, don't expect to be driving around with an excessive sense of speed, where you're rushing through the city and saving the patient's life with heroic actions, defying dangers. It's not that.”
