Do not expect this game to be an RPG, it's a straight up Action title in a medium open world.
Combat in FF16 is not as deep like DMC but it is fun nonetheless. Story set-pieces can easily match spectacle of Platinum Games titles and boss fights are absolute highlight of this game.
Main story is nothing special but worldbuilding is fantastically realized and every character is well written with Clive in the spotlight.
Biggest gripe of this game is it's terrible pacing between key story events and boring/uninspired side quest design that will put out many from completing them. Game would benefit if it was much shorter.

The Talos Principle 2 evolution is like Portal ones. First game laid a perfect foundation and the sequel expended it in every possible way while polishing (small) flaws for the first one. This AA production feels much better than the most of AAA's.
ABSOLUTE MUST PLAY for all fans of puzzle games and easy GoTY 2023 contender.

Jusant is all about climbing and it does it perfectly. It translates climbing often seen in VR titles like "The Climb" onto flat screen. It never gets stale as there are new mechanics introduced all the time.
It has amazing art style with stunning lighting and breathtaking scale that can sometimes make you uncomfortable while performing jumps.
I wish it was a bit longer, only 5h while exploring every corner.

Bigger, louder but is it better than the first one ? That's up to debate... It feels a bit uneven in compare to very tight first entry.
While platforming challenges feel like a step up from the first one where combat takes a hit.
Still worth playing if you liked the first Ghostrunner.

Hilariously charming swashbuckling adventure starring wisecracking swords-woman Adalia.
Game has simple yet very entertaining combat mixed up with some very light platforming.
Tons of humor with great voice acting, gorgeous art style and lively music accompanying all the fights.
Only con to this game that main story is very short, only 3,5h in first play through but there are challenges and arena mode for you to comeback.

Perfecting a perfection
RE4 Remake is a masterclass refreshing of a cult classic that will surprise even the biggest OG fans

Fantastic DLC that feels like a cherry on top of perfect cake called RE4 Remake. All that was cut out of Leon story finds it's place in Ada's with new areas and other surprises !
Separate Ways took me around 5-6h to complete on Hardcore difficulty and it's definitely worth it's price.
Essential if you enjoyed the base game !

Started as a nice stealth game with quite big levels and went totally downhill at the half to a total frustration at the end...
From the mid point you are basically going backward on each level which makes it a slog to play.
There was fair share of jank in this game that I would forgive if the game would be half the size.
Developers clearly ran out of time while making this game or over-scoped project beyond what can they do.
First half - 7/10
Second half - 3/10

Devil May Cry x Guitar Hero
Solid spin on classic "spectacle fighter" formula with amazing comic art, music and lovely characters ( Korsica <3 )

Great position for all Portal fans that uses time travel as a main mechanic.
Could be paced a bit better but I can't deny solid puzzle design, nice graphics and enjoyable dialogue delivered by Aria and Astra voice actresses.
