The first recurring problem in Dungeons 2 is the story. It is quite dry and transparent, the kind you forget as soon as the end credits finish. It all comes down to the Illagers discovering a new dimension, Sift, and exploiting its resources and inhabitants for their evil plan.

Considering the current state of the Grounds and the initial (un)interest of players for that mode, it could be said that FC this year "missed the football." What was supposed to be a social experience that connects FC fans now doesn't look like something that would justify the hype and time invested.

I have to admit I love it when games have a specific visual style, use cool references, and feature a dominant color palette or unusual character shading. Simply put, I love it when a game doesn't follow the already well-trodden realistic style and doesn't look like just another Unreal Engine (5) title.

As a long-time fan of the series, Mafia 3 was unnecessarily bloated. For me, Mafia was never an "alternative GTA," as it's often called, nor do I think it should go in that direction. Instead of reinventing the wheel or trying to break an already established identity forcefully, Hangar 13's new installment, Mafia: The Old Country, demonstrates that it understands why we love Mafia and what its strongest assets are.

The 2009 X-Men Origins: Wolverine game still holds a special place in my heart. The game itself was good, not spectacular, but it left a permanent mark on my memory because of its incredible dose of brutality and violence, elements that form the core of Wolverine. Years of films with the excellent Hugh Jackman in the role of Logan have given us a modified, fairly calm version of Wolverine, for whom the most important thing is always being that rebel without a cause.

Realistically, in the late 90s and early 2000s, they had great Pokemon games for GB and GBA, but that was a different time with different appetites. The last few titles from this team suggested that the moment had come to move on to new tasks, or that they wanted "something new and something wild." For all of you who expected Game Freak to make new Pokemon games just on other platforms with the same mechanics and "more serious graphics," you might be disappointed.

Well, six years later, someone has clearly opened their wallet. In other words, Mortal Shell 2 is mostly everything you want from a sequel: bigger, more content-rich, more practical, and more ambitious in every respect. The emphasis is mostly on the good, because with a bigger budget and bigger ambitions, Cold Symmetry managed to expand almost every good part of the original while also keeping a few problems that I had hoped they would leave behind in 2020.

Splatoon has already slowly turned into a series. Although the first one came out in 2015 for the Wii U, we've also received two sequels for the Switch in the meantime. And despite the series having story modes, most of the focus has always gone to online shooting in Turf War.

Horror has never been more culturally visible. In cinemas, the genre is no longer treated as a niche corner of the release calendar: horror films regularly become major commercial events, cross into prestige territory, and compete seriously during awards season. The success of Sinners, for example, helped demonstrate how a horror film could function simultaneously as a crowd-pleaser, a critical conversation piece, and an awards contender.

Help won't arrive in a few minutes or hours, but will take years, while the ship's hull is just a loose boundary separating you from the infinite void. Every good space horror is partially or completely based on this. In this case, Directive 8020 understands all of this well enough and builds its entire plot around that feeling.
