FPS / Action / Sci-Fi

The visuals are fantastic — character models look incredible (the twins… yeah), and the world design is top-notch. The story and twist are okay, but I feel they could’ve taken it even further. Like Control, I think this game would be better if it were more linear. The weapon upgrade system is the weakest part: swapping a mod forces you to re-upgrade it from scratch every single time, which made me stick with just three weapons (shotgun, AK, bazooka). Still, I enjoyed the experience overall. Definitely recommended — hoping Atomic Heart 2 improves the weak points.

Boss Rush / Precision / Indie

Fast-food Soulsborne — you one-hit bosses, and they one-hit you. The challenge comes from the one-arrow mechanic: you shoot, then must retrieve it, making timing and precision everything. The bosses are well designed, the soundtrack is calm and pleasant, and even though the mechanic gave me a hard time, the game is still worth recommending.

Stealth / Fantasy / Third-Person

The story is a bit confusing for me, but the graphics still look surprisingly good for today’s standards. The stealth mechanics and level design are great, though it was tough since pure stealth isn’t my strongest genre. Still, for fans of stealth-heavy gameplay — definitely recommended.

Simulation / Strategy / Airline Management

The core mechanics are very simple: you manage airline routes and handle passenger traffic. I had a good amount of fun with it, and it’s satisfying when everything runs smoothly. However, there’s one downside — the Campaign mode feels nearly impossible to finish. The game doesn’t have any difficulty settings, and from my experience, Campaign might as well be set to Hard/Brutal by default. In Campaign, you have 6 minutes to unlock a random country. When you unlock it, the time gets extended by another 6 minutes. The problem is the randomness: If you unlock a small, nearby country, the new routes are cheap and easy to manage. But if you unlock a large country, several airports appear at once, and you need to connect them immediately — otherwise one airport overloads → game over. On top of that, there are random events like: Airports shutting down • Airport level reductions • Sudden suitcase “bankruptcy” events All of these can collapse your economy instantly. I eventually found a pattern to survive the early game, but I still couldn’t get past around ~15 countries before the randomness caused a fail. Overall, the game is enjoyable — just don’t take Campaign too seriously. Play Free Mode, build your airline network at your own pace, and you’ll have a much better time.

Action / Supernatural / Third-Person Shooter

The storytelling and visuals in this game are amazing — together they create a strong, surreal atmosphere that really pulls you in. The NPCs are surprisingly lively too. I especially liked Ahti the Janitor — the moment I met him, I honestly thought he might end up being the final boss 😂 I do wish the Service Weapon had more form variations, or at least looked a bit more impactful in some modes. Also, the map design can be confusing — the layout often feels like a maze. Personally, I think the game might have been even better if it leaned more toward a linear structure, or at least clearer navigation. But even with those issues, the experience as a whole is excellent. Great atmosphere, great style — I really enjoyed it.

Horror / Time-loop / Narrative

It’s a time-loop story, where you die over and over again until you reach the end. I really love this concept — funny enough, my first ever win on SG was Life is Strange, which also plays with time loops. What a coincidence! The game’s horror aspect isn’t too scary (the devil creature’s design is a bit tame — maybe due to budget limits), but the gore feels disturbingly real. The story, choices, and atmosphere are all done really well — they kept me curious the whole time. The plot twist was solid too, even though I could kind of see it coming. I got 1 of the 4 endings, but sadly, there’s no option to replay from key decisions, so you’ll need to start over to see the others. Hopefully, they’ll patch that in later. Overall — recommended!

Metroidvania / Action Platformer

There’s not much more to say about this masterpiece — the art, the music, the challenge, and the world design all blend together to create a truly unique experience. Just finished my first playthrough and got the bad ending XD — I’ll be back soon for the 112% completion and the other endings!

Simulation / Management / Strategy

A thoughtful management game that teaches genuinely useful emergency-handling skills. After a while, calls start repeating, but the experience remains engaging — especially with fun easter eggs like the mysterious cook from Albuquerque.

Action / Hack & Slash / Story-Rich

A cinematic journey with brutal combat, strong storytelling, and stunning visuals for its time. Performance can be spotty (even on an i5-12400F + RTX 3060 Ti), but the experience is worth it. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys story-driven action adventures.
