To be honest, I hadn't even planned on playing Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. Like many others, I got hooked by the hype. First, it was the English-speaking YouTube scene with video essays hailing
A first-person Soulslike game featuring a French soldier from the Napoleonic era sounds intriguing. That is precisely how Valor Mortis—the new title from One More Level, the studio best known for the Ghostrunner series—is presented
Eastern Europe, vampires, and the developers of The Witcher 3, what an explosive cocktail! What could possibly go wrong? Just about everything. But not all at once. And therein lies the central drama of The
Mr. Booker, where are we? / It's a circus, Elizabeth. That's the very feeling you get when you first look at Twisted Tower. The game unabashedly takes BioShock as its main inspiration and reference, and it
Once upon a time, back in the distant 2011 or so, I got a disk with the first Lego Batman game. The characters back then couldn’t talk, they just gestured, and it was a certain
Pragmata
Pragmata is not a game about robots. It’s a game about you. About me. About remembering that inside each of us there's a child who sometimes just needs a warm down jacket (even if it's the wrong size) and the right to go barefoot.

Lessaria a confident, solid, and respectful successor, perfect for a leisurely immersion. Rockbee Team studio's debut can be considered a success - they took a responsible approach to a complex genre and created a game that, despite all the minor rough edges, is capable of giving dozens of hours of...
Escape from Duckov is a brilliant, witty, and incredibly addictive experience. It's a must-play not only for Tarkov fans looking for a fresh perspective on the familiar torment, but also for anyone who appreciates deep, systemic games with impeccable game design. It's a loud and clear signal to the entire...
Dying Light: The Beast is a ghost of a great franchise, competently executed but lacking the spark that once made it special.
