The Stanley Parable - Where Even Walking in Circles Feels Profound If you want a game where your every random action gets acknowledged - and sometimes roasted - The Stanley Parable is perfect. The dialogue is sharp, hilarious and weirdly philosophical. Whether you’re following directions or stubbornly ignoring them, the game always has something clever (or unsettling) to say about it. It’s less about “winning” and more about poking the edges of the experience to see what breaks - and the game wants you to do that. Open a door you’re not supposed to? Take the elevator five times? Stand still for ten minutes? The narrator will notice, and you’ll love what he has to say. ...

My first roguelike - and what an introduction. Hades absolutely slaps. Gorgeous visuals, top-tier dialogue and gameplay that feels smooth and rewarding right out the gate. Every run pulls you back in with that “just one more try” magic. If you’re even mildly curious, do yourself a favor and give this gem a go. 10/10 - Zagreus made me a believer.

A must-play for any Potterhead, with a few caveats. Hogwarts Legacy nails the fantasy of living in the Wizarding World. The open world is massive, packed with things to explore, spells to sling and secrets to uncover - all wrapped in some seriously gorgeous visuals.

But if you’re here for the vibe, the magic and the castle itself? You’ll be right at home. ...

You’ll have fun, you’ll rage and you’ll definitely question your life choices - but honestly, it’s one of the best FPS experiences out there. Most of my hours are in CS:GO, but the core chaos, clutch moments and saltiness carry over to CS2 just fine. Toxic? Sometimes. Addictive? Always. Regret? Only when I whiff an AWP shot.

Short, sweet, and full of demons. Helltaker is a bite-sized puzzle game with just the right amount of brain-teasing challenge and charm. The premise? Descend into hell to build your very own demon girl harem. The puzzles are clever, the dialogue is witty and the characters somehow steal your heart and your soul. It’s stylish, funny and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Also, it’s free - so there’s really no excuse not to take the plunge. ...
