Grand Theft Auto V - Other
It’s funny, well written, good looking, has great music and will keep you busy for months. It is an essential purchase for those who haven’t played it before and a huge recommendation for those who have.

Good remaster to refresh old FF7 memories waiting for Rebirth. The game has some nice to have improvements compared to PSP original game and it didn't feel old at all.

Hogwarts Legacy - Other
A game for Harry Potter fans. If you're not a fan, you won't be very interested. The plot is quite primitive. Character leveling and battles were not impressive. There were a couple of good quests. And not bad graphics.

Lies of P - Other
The game is awesome in many ways. It has a few flaws here and there but it is truly amazing. I can't wait for the DLC and the sequel.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - Other
This game is better than any Spiderman game prior. Graphically amazing, fun as hell, and performs great. I platinum the game already. There is minor bugs here and there but not game breaking. And let's face it, all open world games have bugs. So just enjoy the game for what it is. Easily a GOTY contender.

Assassin's Creed Mirage - PC Games
It is very short and the story seems to be summarized and fast, but I am happy that Ubisoft remembered the past again and gave hope to the fans of this series. The game starts very beautifully and brings the gamer into Baghdad very well. that Ubisoft does not complete any of the components of the game and has not made an Assassin's Creed game from the bottom of its heart for a long time.

Cyberpunk 2077 - PC Games
The recent 2.0 update brings this game up to a solid 9/10 - if you are into narrative driven RPGs then this is a must play.

Resident Evil 4 - PC Games
Now that is how a remake is supposed to be! CAPCOM managed to capture the essence of the original classic while taking it´s visuals and gameplay to a modern level with plenty of well thought additions that perfectly add to the mix. With Ashley still beeing far away from autonomical behavior and some pacing issues near the end of the game, only a few flaws remain in an otherweise outstanding ressurection of what may be the most re-released game ever made.

Eternights - PC Games
Enjoyed the gameplay,perfect counters feels satisfying, enemies feel challenging and worth retrying to beat. Relationships are also well done, humor is great. Just an all around solid game.

Metro Exodus - PC Games
1) STORY / NARRATIVE: Goosebumps! The most intense and hearth-breaking story i have seen for a long time. Emotional and satisfying ending for sure. Metro already has been known as a franchise that offers solid storylines. Not just the lore and story but also the way it serves that to the player is fantastic. That is definitely still here with exodus. A fantastic voyage thru this universe that Dimitri Glukhovski created. Exodus is based on and starts with Metro 2035 and adds a lot of details to it afterwards.
10/10
2) COMBAT / MECHANICS: This is not your typical FPS game. Carachter movement is so slow and far from being nimble. Mobility is highly restricted. You have to watch not just your back but also everywhere because there is no escape if you do a mistake. Same story with the ammunition and resources. So in terms of mobility and resource management, Metro Exodus is stingy. I love that tho. But clearly its not refined. I don’t remember how many times i got stuck in the middle of something important because of some weird terrain and game control interaction. So its unique, fun and good enough but feels far from being perfect.
8/10
3) ATMOSPHERE / VISUAL DESIGN: Clearly the strongest part of the game with the story. Metro Exodus is kinda a 10-15 hour in-game engine playable cutscene. Illustrations are unbelievably good. Scenes and details are well made. Enviroment of the linear parts of the game are probably the best ones i have seen. At least one of the best in the gaming industry at the moment. Lightings, music and everything is nicely done. Every single part of the game pushes you to different emotions. Sometimes you feel the disgust. Sometimes you cry. 10/10!
Unless you have arachnophobia or herpetophobia. Gonna say it from the start, if you have one of those you are definitely not gonna feel comfortable in this game in a bad way. There are so many disgusting creatures and enemies you will encounter. And some of them are really common. Game has 3 different small but highly detailed open worlds that have different bioms, side activities that will add more to the main story and different mechanics in it. You will spend around 2-3 hours in each. Also at the start, end of the game and between the open worlds there are unique linear sections that will take around 5 hours in total as well. In total this is around 10-15 hours a beast of an experience.
10/10
4) OPTIMIZATION / PERFORMANCE:
I am not very positive here. It works fine in terms of frame rates years after its release except some specific areas. But the way it performs and the layering is kinda weird. First of all crashes are common enough to make you angry. Also freezes and program not answering problems are still going on. Rarely but still there sadly. And the problem i talked about in the mechanic section, terrain and 3D model interactions are weird for NPC’s too. I have seen someone teleported or stuck for 2-3 seconds a lot.
6/10
OVERALL: Probably one of the best and most unique FPS games we have seen lately. Not gonna say this is a must play for everyone or a classic but definitely deserves a shot if you are into something different than the other FPS game campaigns we did get last 5-6 years. A perfect storytelling sweet spot between a disgusting thriller piece that will make you uncomfortable in a good way, an emotional storyline that follows interesting areas and enviroments and a super heavy stealth based action. One of my favourites for sure!

Trials of Mana - PlayStation 4
Remake graphics is nice, class system is good, the only bad thing in the game is the voice acting, should have done better to better support the story of the game

Final Fantasy XVI - Other
This game was something else, an amazing experience from start to finish, full of dark and epic moments that slow down at the right segments to do some good side questing that ties directly to the story and characters around you.
The story was amazing and Clive as a protagonist was one of my favourites. Cid is definitely the best Cid in the series as a whole.
The villain is alright and serves his purpose, I've seen better.
Combat was fun and the Music was on another level.

Don't listen to the outrageously bad reviews, the game has some glitches but nothing to ruin the experience. It improves on the previous game in terms of gameplay and exploration and is very fun in itself.
If it weren't for the technical glitches it would be a 9 game but as it is now it's still a great game.

Tails of Iron - Other
It's a Very good game that has to be shorter.
I really enjoyed the combat, controls, lots of fights with bosses. Visuals, animations are vеry enjoyable.
But within 6,5 hours i finished the game, I saw some locations for 10 time. Make something, go to your palace. One more time. One more. Go to that location 10 times to earn gold in reperirive side quests to continue you journey. But I still enjoyed it a lot. It deserves 8.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Other
Everything modern Star Wars should have been. Gameplay-wise, think The Uncharted Series meets Bloodborne and Force Unleashed. Very polished graphics, animations and mechanics too. The story, acting and environments are also very much what you expect from a AAA title when done correctly.
Cameron Monaghan's brilliant and believable performance as Cal Kestis is also one of the highlights of this game, and he skillfully weaves one of the most relatable and likable characters since the original Trilogy.
Whether it is his strained relationship with his new allies, his diminished belief in his own abilities, his fear of the repercussions to others around him if he is found out - to his heartbreaking relationship with his friend Prauf (that is all too briefly cut short at the start of the game); Cal is the kind of unlikely hero you can't help but empathize with, and actually WANT to get behind and see succeed.
The cast of misfit characters around him are also as layered and broken, and in that you get a feeling that like the original Trilogy, you are watching them overcome their own limitations, fears, and baggage instead of simply existing from the start as some kind of Marry Sue or Comedic Punching bag.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales - PlayStation 4
miles is so cool and he fits perfectly at the formula created by the first marvel's spider man, even if it kinda looks more like a big dlc to the game than a separate game
it has some very good boss fights, though the story isn't great
