Big Walk's charm lies in the surprising nature of its world and the delight of discovery: you never know what awaits beyond the next hill. You also encounter various cryptic structures and themes. It feels like an exciting expedition full of unexpected events—moments of laughter interspersed with getting lost in the darkness of night. Silliness and chaotic antics are all part of the journey, especially when traveling in a large group. Without a doubt one of the most inventive games of the year.

War games generally tend to focus on mindless shooting and the glorification of war, whereas the story The Caribou Trail serves as a reminder of war's senselessness. Unfortunately, the game's visuals do not fully support the narrative; minor flaws frequently break the immersion. The result is a mixed experience that captures the intended emotional resonance only in a few moments. Nevertheless, it is an experience worth having if you are interested in war games that offer something different.

Forensics: Crime Scene Detective tries hard to be a realistic portrayal of crime scene investigator's work, but it ends up being boring, repetitive and clumsy chore. Luckily, it isn't very long.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a well-crafted remake of an excellent pirate adventure. Rating it is naturally a bit tricky: for players who have already experienced the original, this otherwise outstanding package doesn't really justify the purchase. On the other hand, if you've never followed Edward's adventures before and generally enjoy the annual Assassin's Creed releases, you can comfortably add another star to the score and buy it with confidence – you won't be disappointed.

Rhythm Paradise Groove marks a joyful and substantial return for Nintendo’s long‑dormant rhythm series, offering a huge selection of quirky minigames and a polished audiovisual experience. Despite a divisive Beatspell RPG mode and a few uneven challenges, the game delivers hours of inventive, charming rhythm action both solo and with friends.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is perfect for those with no prior experience of the adventures of Dante and his companions. In other words, me! It is easy to get into the story thanks to a "movie" that recounts the series' history, while various difficulty levels and accessibility options ensure players of all skill levels can enjoy the game. The characters' roguish charisma makes every moment entertaining, and time spent with the trio certainly never drags.

Denshattack! is a stylish and supremely rewarding genre hybrid that made me giddy with joy from the first minute until the last. It's one of the most purely enjoyable games of the year.

Super-cute Moonlight Peaks is a farm life sim that is traditional in its core mechanics yet refreshingly unique on the surface. It sets itself apart from alternatives like Story of Seasons and Stardew Valley primarily through its supernatural elements — a feature that gives this new title a breath of fresh air within the genre. The game is a great choice for life sim fans who are looking to add a touch of the supernatural to their farming endeavors.

Moss: The Forgotten Relic is by no means a bad way to step in as Quill’s companion, even though virtual reality literally adds a new dimension to the gameplay. Both games are entertaining, thrilling, and beautiful adventures that are a joy to play through on a traditional screen as well. It's a good version of a great game, the new camera angles work well, and the sharper textures highlight the detailed world. All in all, a fantastic two-part adventure.

Towards the end, a few puzzles feel overly difficult compared to the rest of the experience, and the conclusion drags on a bit too long. Despite these minor flaws, The Incident at Galley House is an excellent summer mystery—offering just the right level of challenge, an intriguing plot, and a unique overall feel. That is certainly something worth praising.
