A fast-paced slasher with a stunning soundtrack featuring Raiden from the Metal Gear series as the main character. Although the gameplay format is radically different and the game was developed with Platinum Games in mind, the gameplay feels very fresh and fresh. Compared to the best combat system, I think the combat in Bayonetta or DMC would be much deeper and more engaging, but I wouldn't say it's bad just because it's simpler. The dynamism and drive elevate this game, which can often feel boring in other slashers. The gameplay is very focused and can be completed in literally a day, making it highly replayable, making it a game you'll want to replay at least once a year or test yourself on the hardest difficulty. The arsenal is also quite good. To sum it up, as a slasher it may not be the best and not that deep, but I can't perceive it as just a slasher, for me it's a game like a picture where the impression is formed from all the details including the OST, the lore of the characters, the design, and as a game it definitely deserves 8-9/10

Nobody Wants to Die absolutely hooked me for its entire 8-hour runtime. Its eternal, neon-drenched New York is one of the most immersive cyber-noir worlds I’ve seen in years. The investigations are tense and engaging, the dialogue hits hard, and the story digs deep into elitism, morality, and what it means to be human. UE5 does wonders here — every scene looks incredible.
Yeah, it’s short and very linear, but that focus is exactly what makes it so effective. Think LA Noire in a cyberpunk coat, but more introspective and visually stunning. At 19.99 € on sale (39.99 € base), it’s an easy recommendation on PS5, Xbox, or PC.

It's a free and easily accessible game. However, stages 2 and 3 were a drag, and the game was not fun anymore. It got confusing, and it felt like I was stuck for hours with no way to figure out how to make progress with the information I had. The ending was underwhelming, too.
Speaking of games, have you tried genshin? It's got some cool modes, like daily challenges and even a custom mode if you're feeling creative! https://royadle.org/genshin

Heretic + Hexen offers exceptional gameplay with a unique twist. Highly recommend diving into this experience! Check it out here: https://suikagames.app
If you are into Telltale Games, then you really have to play this one! This game felt like a TV Show and I really liked that.

The Painkiller reboot delivers exactly what its co-op pitch promises: chaotic demon-slaying mayhem, over-the-top weapons, and hellish arenas built for pure, mindless fun. With friends, it absolutely clicks — fast movement, crunchy gore, and that classic boomer-shooter energy make each session a satisfying purge.
Visually, it’s surprisingly sharp for 2025, and the gunplay hits harder than anything in the failed sequels that came after the original. But once you jump into solo play, the illusion shatters fast: bots can’t match real teammates, and the nine maps start looping quickly with no DLC at launch. Fun for a night, grindy if you push longer.
It’s a decent nostalgia shot — not the legendary comeback fans dreamed of, but still a good time on PS5/PC/Xbox, especially if you grab the 29.99 € Deluxe Edition on sale and play with friends.

Octopath Traveler 0 kept me immersed in Orsterra’s HD-2D charm for 45 hours — a gorgeous, nostalgic world backed by one of Square Enix’s most stunning soundtracks. The refined combat system feels smoother and more accessible than ever, the Master Quests are a blast to dive into, and building up your village adds a surprisingly addictive layer of progression.
What genuinely impressed me is how welcoming this entry is. Compared to previous Octopath games, this one is more unified, easier to grasp, and ideal for newcomers who want to discover the series without getting overwhelmed.
The one big drawback? There’s no French localization, which makes the experience tougher for players who rely on it, especially in such a text-heavy JRPG. It doesn’t break the magic, but it definitely adds friction.
Even so, the journey shines with emotion, beautiful visuals, and a satisfying rhythm from start to finish. At 59.99 € (49.99 € on sale), it’s an easy pick on Switch, PS5, or PC — as long as playing in English isn’t an issue.

Very strange tale adventure game
Tormented Souls II looked like a dream come true for vintage RE fans — gorgeous atmosphere, striking fixed-camera shots, and a Villa Hess dripping with pure horror. And on that front, it absolutely delivers.
But the frequent cheap hallway traps, deaths that come out of nowhere, and puzzles that rely on barely visible objects quickly turn the tension into frustration. Even as someone who enjoys classic survival horror, I found myself oscillating between admiration and annoyance.
There are moments where exploration hits the right mood and certain puzzles feel genuinely rewarding, but the uneven design makes it a tough sell. This is clearly aimed at PS1-era purists who don’t mind a heavy dose of jank.
At 29.99 € (24.99 € promo), it’s a niche but sincere throwback for fans on PS5, PC, or Xbox.

Artsy-fartsy journey-wannabe mixed with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
If you like journey - I recommend. Otherwise - don't

Indie just to be indie. Typical trauma metaphor indie game. Kinda short. With a bit of diner simulator
Generic soulles anime slop
Very slow paced. Mostly visual novel with elements of simple adventure quest.
Wrongly positioned as survival-walking simulator - actually it is first person adventure quest with elements of survival
