I'm not great at skill-based games like this, but I believe that more experienced players can find a lot of fun and excitement in it. The mechanics combine basketball with and controlling robot machines, making it unique. Although it can be tricky to master the movements and aiming, it definitely offers tons of fun, competition, and laughs for more skilled players.

Dave The Diver is a really charming and engaging game! It has beautiful, colorful graphics that instantly catch the eye. The gameplay is super fun and full of positive energy - from diving to cooking, there’s always something interesting happening. The overall vibe is light and enjoyable, making it hard to stop playing. Perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing yet exciting game!

Almost 20 years ago, I played "Half-Life: Last Coast" at a friend's house, and even back then, the episode made a impression on me. Although it was just a brief session, I remember how captivating the intense action and atmospheric world of the game were. Years later, I had the chance to dive back into this universe, and it was truly a great trip down memory lane. Although "Last Coast" is just a short episode, the 30 minutes I spent playing it were pure fun.

Cave Quest is a combination of match 3 mechanics and Point & Click elements, making the gameplay original. However, after a while, the game began to feel repetitive. While the story and variety of tasks initially drew me in, after few hours, I just wanted to finish it and move on.

It's a good option for a bit of casual fun, but it lacks the depth to keep interest over the long term.

Strange Brigade is definitely a game that shines in co-op mode with friends. The dynamic action, humorous tone, and variety of enemies make the gameplay enjoyable and exciting.

However, after a while, the game starts to feel repetitive. After about 12 hours spent in the world of Strange Brigade, I felt that the formula was wearing thin, and the missions didn't offer enough freshness to keep me engaged. While I fondly remember our gaming sessions, I don't think I'll be returning to this game in the future. It's a great choice for a fun evening with friends, but not for the long haul.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is certainly an interesting installment in the series, bringing fresh elements and a new storyline that unfolds between the events of Borderlands and Borderlands 2. The ability to explore the Moon and utilize the new gravity system introduces some intriguing gameplay dynamics.

However, the game does fall short compared to its predecessors. While the humor and graphic style remain top-notch, there's a noticeable lack of substantial innovations. Some mechanics can feel repetitive, and certain characters don't receive the same level of attention as their counterparts in previous titles.

As a result, The Pre-Sequel is a solid game that offers fun but doesn't reach the standout moments of the series. Fans of Borderlands will likely enjoy it, but those expecting a major evolution may feel a bit let down. It's definitely the low point of the series, yet still provides plenty of hours of entertainment.

Match Three Pirates II is unfortunately a disappointment in the match 3 genre. The unclear pieces make it hard to focus on the gameplay, and their unsmooth movement don't improve your feelings. The game presentation is weak. I do not recommend it.

Sniper Elite 4 is an excellent title for fans of tactical action shooters. It features beautiful environments, nice aiming system, and thrilling moments that deliver satisfaction. Great graphics, convincing bullet physics, and the ability to make precise shots are the strengths of this game. If you're a fan of snipers and action games, you will definitely appreciate Sniper Elite 4.

I have The Outer Worlds: Non-Mandatory Corporate-Sponsored Bundle version of the game. Until recently the biggest package you could buy, containing everything that came out for this game. It cost a lot of money.

And yet now I have to pay 10€ extra for The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition Upgrade, because Obsidian Entertainment / Private Division wants to sell me the same game a second time.

No, thank you.

Borderlands 3 is an absolute blast for RPG and shooter game enthusiasts. You immerse yourself in an incredibly creative world, full of extraordinary characters and non-stop action. The game offers a huge variety of weapons to match your preferred playstyle. The humorous tone and dynamic gameplay make every moment spent in the game unforgettable. If you love wild adventures, Borderlands 3 is for you!
