NiOh 2
- Release date: 12 March 2020
- Platform: PlayStation 4
- Our rating: 8.5 / 10
The previous part of NiOh was remembered for, among other things, how much the main character looked like our Geralt. However, the gameplay itself was modeled on another cult game series, Dark Souls. In NiOh 2, which is a prequel to the previous installment of the series, there is no trace of Japanese Geralt. He was replaced by a new hero and a new story – and that's basically the biggest change in the title from Team Ninja studio.
NiOh 2 is almost a copy of the previous game, which does not necessarily constitute a flaw – in this case, it is rather more of the same, for which we liked the original so much. There is still an interesting atmosphere, a huge amount of content and, above all, an even more elaborate, engaging combat system. Some bosses or the overall gameplay scheme may seem disappointing, but for "soulslike" fans NiOh 2 is a position worth checking out.
Nioh 2, despite being quite repetitive in many aspects, including mission design and lack of new challenges later in the game, was an overall compelling experience. The game is almost a mirror image of the first installment, yet it still delivers a lot of fun.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Release date: March 20, 2020
- Platform: Nintendo Switch
- Our rating: 8.5 / 10
The fifth part of the hugely popular Animal Crossing series is still something totally exotic and unknown – as are many productions from Japan. But if you own a Nintendo Switch, it's worth taking a look at Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The formula of a simple "life simulator," in which we simply expand our patch of land, collect raw materials, feed and interact with adorable anthropomorphic animals, is terribly engaging.
And it's not just about being able to play anywhere with Nintendo's console mobility. Here everything forms a neat, coherent whole. There's plenty of content, huge personalization possibilities, fun with friends, humour and a simple but lovely graphic style. On top of that, time in the game flows according to the real one. The day lasts 24 hours, and winter in the land of Animal Crossing won't be until December. Even if we get bored of the game one day, there's always a reason to go back and see what's going on.
Exciting formula – how many times have you heard this slogan? However, it so happens that for Animal Crossing this is not marketing BS. I fished, planted flowers, arranged furniture, and talked to the locals – and all that was fun. What's even cooler, the content in New Horizons is very, very abundant. Even though I spent more than 50 hours in the game, I still haven't seen many mechanics, characters, and options.
