Cyber Slayer
An unusual amalgamation of traditional Chinese martial arts with a dark cyberpunk setting serves as the backdrop for an engaging action-detective story with an unexpected twist; the conveyance of certain philosophical and technological themes is excellent, and there is much to ponder both during and after experiencing the plot; the pacing is perfect – it never drags or feels rushed, allowing the events to unfold in a measured way while keeping you engaged. The main characters, with their tragic depth, are very likable, and the supporting characters also have a specific role that they fulfill perfectly, complementing the well-oiled plot.
Lily's Tales
An expedition on a minimal scale; a decent game in its genre, but not essential – not playing it won't make you miss out on anything.
Counter-Strike 2
It's all the same as it was 20 years ago – the formula still works. The changes are minimal, so even if you've forgotten how to play, you can start and get back into it after a few matches. While playing (mostly with Arandor), it made me think about how tactical and even strategic decisions in shooters are not necessarily less than in strategy games (at least turn-based ones). You need to know the map, where enemies might be, how long it takes them to get from one point to another, where they might be hiding, and take into account the characteristics of the weapons, etc.
U.S. 6
You launch it and start playing, without any lengthy cutscenes, drawn-out city explorations, or anything like that, and yet the plot is interesting, and the cozy atmosphere of the setting is felt in every step you take, as well as the good moral message embedded in the plot. The protagonist is a classic "Hero," with a capital H: he travels, saves people, defeats villains, and fights against cataclysms, all without resorting to pompous or awkward dialogue, solving everything through action – most often with the sword in his hands, which has been hardened by thousands of battles.
Lily and Andryukha's Box
Surprisingly captivating and atmospheric; a rare case where vulgar American dialogue doesn't cause a strong feeling of cringe, but instead adds to the authenticity. Perhaps this is because, in this case, the scenario and the characters were conceived as such by the author, and the text is not the work of talentless barbarian localizers or "advisors" breathing down their necks.
