Battlefield 6

- PlayStation 5 - 91

Battlefield 6 brings the series back to its roots — large-scale chaos done right. The campaign feels like a classic shooter: fast, cinematic, but narratively shallow. Yet the multiplayer steals the show. Maps are dense with action, the class system is back, and the gunplay feels phenomenal. The new battle royale and Portal modes are fine but forgettable — the real thrill lies in those massive, coordinated battles where everything explodes at once. It’s not a revolution, but a confident reminder of why Battlefield once defined the genre.

Ninja Gaiden 4

- PlayStation 5 - 83

The fast-paced, explosive combat sets Ninja Gaiden 4 apart from the more measured swordplay of the 3D trilogy. In exchange for this shift, players are rewarded with immense satisfaction through crisp slashing mechanics, well-paced weapon progression, and a solid combo system. PlatinumGames clearly tried to elevate the boss fights to the level of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. On the other hand, exploration often feels underdeveloped, only partially redeemed by more dynamic segments involving rail-sliding or airflow gliding.

Little Nightmares III

- PlayStation 5 - 66

Little Nightmares III tries to faithfully follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, but the new developers fail to elevate it to the next stage of the series’ evolution. While Supermassive Games attempted to integrate co-op, this decision seems questionable, given the limited opportunities for meaningful interaction. The game offers only the bare minimum, sprinkles in a few additional mechanics, and still drowns in its own limitations.

Dying Light: The Beast

- PC - 79

Dying Light: The Beast can easily be called Dying Light: The Best. Yes, it has its fair share of problems—the campaign, zero motivation for nighttime runs, the burden of leveling, and the very slow initial hours when you have practically no resources or gear—which will quickly repel those who came primarily for the campaign. However, the heart of Dying Light is a sandbox with parkour and drop-kicking zombies. And that heart is once again beating with a healthy rhythm.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

- PC - 85

Sonic Team has managed to bring Sonic Racing back to the big leagues, making it a strong competitor to Mario Kart. It pours so much energy into you that it takes your breath away, and all the initial cups fly by in one go. The only thing truly missing in CrossWorlds is missions — specifically, the kind from the very first entries in the series, as they would perfectly suit the game’s arcade style. However, the core of replayability in such arcade games is the championships, and those in CrossWorlds are made far more engaging.

Borderlands 4

- PC - 87

Borderlands 4 is a masterfully crafted sequel. It pays homage to its roots while boldly venturing into new territory. The rich and compelling new planet of Kairos, paired with the series' most expansive skill trees, movement system and a sharper sense of humor, makes this a must play for veterans and franchise newcomers alike. This is the Borderlands we love, just bigger, bolder, and more beautiful than ever.

Silent Hill f

- PC - 80

Silent Hill f absorbs many features of the series that deserve praise, particularly in its depiction of the protagonist’s moral decline. This is reflected in the first ending, which feels less like a search for redemption and more like burying a schoolgirl in a psychological coffin. It is conveyed through her transformation, the additional notes, and the appearance of the enemies. Silent Hill f offers unusual combat that some might link to Souls-like mechanics, while others will notice more classical elements. It’s a pity that, among all the Japanese mythology and metaphors, the town itself starts to feel like a quite forgotten character in this story.

Artis Impact

- PC - 72

Created single-handedly over eight years by developer MAS, Artis Impact is a unique indie RPG that feels more like an interactive anime than a conventional game. Its mysterious world, eccentric heroine, and offbeat humor make for a distinctive experience full of secrets and style. The turn-based combat system offers freedom but lacks balance, and RPG elements feel underdeveloped. Still, the game’s individuality, atmosphere, and sheer creative vision make it a hidden gem for indie enthusiasts

Cronos: The New Dawn

- PlayStation 5 - 79

Cronos: The New Dawn doesn't try to impress you with intense skirmishes or spectacular set-pieces; instead, it offers a slow, oppressive, and deeply atmospheric experience. If you appreciate survival horror in its most pure form—with a lack of resources, constant tension, and a story that leaves room for interpretation—then this game undoubtedly deserves your attention.
