    I really would like to fall in love with Assetto Corsa Competizione. And would it be only for the driving physics, this is a dream on four wheels. But bugs (loads), half-baked features and incomprehensible design decisions leave the impression that is still an obvious beta version with a hefty price tag.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    There is a lot of decent hack&slay fun to be had with Chaosbane. Nonetheless it feels bland, unfinished and in a few moments even unstructured.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The second part of Nihon Falcoms rpg saga gains momentum as a revamped civil war drama centered on the elite students of the Thor military academy.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A solid, yet bland 3d platformer.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    Entertaining little timeloop thriller held back by its mechanical and storytelling limitations.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Technically not without fault and in terms of game selection questionable. But nonetheless this is a solid collection.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A competent as well as challenging tactical RPG from former Legend of Grimrock developers.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    While some of the old problems still shine through, especially in the AI department, the visuals leave an “almost current” impression as the tension-level is as high as it always has been.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A decent bike alternative to Steep or SSX with randomly generated levels and challenges.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    This could be a halfway decent addition to the ever-growing number of open world survival adventures. But certain design decisions like permadeath (which even From Software stayed away from) keep it from escaping mediocrity.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Observation is original and entertaining, but sometimes also quite confusing journey into deep space and the mind of an AI.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    As an occasional loot run snack it serves its purpose. Just don’t expect anything fancy.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The story and trademark mix of historical facts with fictitious characters are one of the best in series history. But mechanically you feel the age of the original throughout.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Listening to well written dialogue and mixing drinks while meeting interesting characters - this is a little storytelling gem.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    You will find motivating team abilities and well constructed tracks, but also some slight problems with visuals and balance. A decent, but futile try to dethrone Mario Kart 8 as this generation’s top fun racer.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The newest episode of the RPG saga delivers solid entertainment with its dynamic turn based battles and the alchemy experiments the franchise is known for.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Green Planet is a decent expansion adding quite a bit to the endgame, without enhancing the main elements, though.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Solid builder that reminds you of classics like Theme Hospital - without delivering the depth or humor, though.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Intense and emotional journey into the past, carried by lively dialogue and interesting characters.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    It fails to replicate the disturbing psycho-horror of its predecessor whilst adding deadly threats. Instead only the frustrating trial&error as well as the shock recycling get under your skin.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    If you are looking for surprises, intense direction and tense exploration in a horror environment, this one definitely is for you.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Challenging mix of base building, expanding and battle, that would benefit from more content as well as variety and the “certain something” that would seperate it from your common run-of-the-mill strategy.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A really cool VR gangster drama with great entertainment value, especially if you use the Move controllers.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A beautifully designed action-adventure with great characters, believable dialogue and a clever mechanical mix of stealth, puzzles, fighting and teamwork in a surreal ocean of rats.
    • 66 Metascore

    Quotation forthcoming.

    First of all, Blades of Time wasn’t a particularly good game when it was originally released seven years ago. And with this version showing even more performance issues than back then, I cannot find any reasonable answer why this game was granted a re-release.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even with some mechanics feeling outdated or anachronistic, this still is a milestone in its genre.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Technically the Switch version of Resident Evil Zero delivers. Mechanically though the co-op focus was and still is a downer.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is a thoroughly enjoyable port of one of gamings all time favorite survival horror games.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    In theory the concept of Metroidvania platforming with bikes and elements of Trials still is promising. But technical shortcomings hold the One-version back.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You have a lot to do, a lot to learn and a lot to forgive. Especially since the battles might be impressive, but haven’t progressed for years.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Slighty enhanced PS4 premiere of the epic rpg saga with a slight touch of Persona.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    An uninspired take on stone-age strategy suffering from typical problems like pathfinding, AI or collision detection.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Thoroughly entertaining top-down-action reminiscent of the early GTAs. While the economy and industry elements are a welcome addition they stay superficial and could be connected to the core mechanics in a more coherent or more meaningful way.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Tense twinstick action with huge amounts of exploration in a mysterious pixel Lovecraft world.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The idea with its mixture of platforming and physics based puzzles is good - and so is the minimalistic anime design. The mechanical execution with its surprsingly inert controls and the oversensitive physics calculations not so much.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Intense and challenging arcade-action embedded in a great story.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    If World War Z proves one thing, then how exceptionally good Left 4 Dead was more than 10 years ago. It tries to emulate the formula but in the end fails to replicate the good times.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This was and still is one of the best JRPGs. If you haven’t played it yet, you should give it a chance. Despite its original age, It looks quite decent and the battle system is a dream once you get used to it.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The action is mostly exhilerating, but the open world is a rather strangely lifeless barebones experience - except for the ressources, that you find in an inflationary abundance.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    While I still consider the campaign one of the best of its kind in an open world action game, the visual translation of an eight year old game to Nintendo’s leaves a lot to be desired, seemingly pushing the hardware to its limit - and way too many times beyond that point.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    An interesting fantasy RPG with teambased realtime battles suffering from serious engine problems.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A good remake of the best Yakuza episode in terms of storytelling.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Relaxing exploration- and trade-adventure that can’t manage to keep you glued to the screen.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Most of the time it feels fascinating to shape an ancient civilization. You have a plethora of options at your disposal but sometimes it can become frustrating with the amount of detail you are involved with. That the presentation is very static doesn’t help either.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The age of Capcom’s dragon tale is too visible. But overall you will still get a decent fantasy roleplaying experience.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While being nowhere near brilliance in any area, Days Gone still gives you an entertaining mix of exploration, horror, stealth and survival light in mostly stunning environments.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Ambitious, inventive and with the tense atmosphere of submarine movies, this is a nice little gem for everybody who might be interested in a different, deglorified take on Privateer or Starlancer.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    My Time at Portia enhanced the Harvest-Moon-concept with a new found focus on exploration and construction. Nice!
    • 71 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    A fascinating mixture of Outcast and Myst.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Inspired by Journey, Limbo and other adventures Far: Lone Sails tells its Story with low-key music and a unique art design. An emotional road trip thru a deserted apocalypse.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Well executed conversion of two of the most beloved JRPGs of the PS2-era.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The spirit of the classic Burnout series is omnipresent. But before the fun kicks into high gear, the highspeed racer is taken down by AI problems or lackluster presentation.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    Clunky driving physics, a weird AI as well as some other frustrating elements step on the brakes of this conceptually entertaining future racer.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Bizarre postapocalyptic fight for survival.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    In terms of mechanics, visuals and the cinemastyle storytelling of the main campaign this is Netherrealm’s masterpiece. Unfortunately spiking AI in the Towers of Time as well as the grindy progression still need to be adressed. Still this is one of the prime fighting games of this generation.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Moving adventure with charming diorama visuals but slight flaws in terms of control and puzzle design.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The strategic elements work well together and are surprisingly complex. But a lot of potential is untapped by the lackluster presentation, the boring dialogues, the superficial view on the matter at hand and the sometimes disrespectful treatment of NPCs.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    A visually beautiful and quite complex city-builder that doesn’t rely on its past alone, but adds quite a few new elements to the experience.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A very intense character study embedded in a captivating fantasy adventure. Technically surprisingly impressive on Switch.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is Earth Defense Force. As it has always been. And as it hopefully will still be in ten years. E.D.F.!
    • 71 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The biggest problem is the low resolution screen with a 60 Hertz refresh rate, which produces nasty blurs on head movements.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The concept behind Baba is You is incredibly fascinating and can give you captivating puzzles. Unfortunately there is almost no motivating incentive to face the challenges.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Challenging tower defense action for up to four demon hunters that would have benefitted from a local co-op mode as well as more polishing in general.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A textbook remaster: The looter shooter that started it all still has its problems (as it did ten years ago), but visually as well as mechanically it is up to date - and still a quell of motivation for hunters and gatherers.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The 20th anniversary of the Atelier saga reduces the roleplaying, while injecting more strategy with annoying time pressure, a few new mechanics and a lot of well known characters.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    No-frills port of the classical lawyer adventures preserves the original charm.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Steampunk dungeon crawler located somewhere between Legend of Grimrock and BioShock - with some newly added options on consoles.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is hands down the best baseball game available right now - especially if you are willing to ignore the microtransactions that impact some of the game modes.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A stylish,engrossing game taking on just decisions as well as moral dilemma, while the player is put in a judges chair. It could be deeper. It could be more meaningful. But it is an interesting take on strategy.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 43 Critic Score
    The scenario could be interesting. But the bland visuals and bad design decisions drown the fun in this underwater survival horror.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Entertaining strategy that lacks the humorous punch of its predecessors. A jack-of-all-trades, but master of none.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A magical fantasy journey with clever puzzles. Touchscreen controls are missed dearly, though.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Great ideas, brashly exectued. Even cooperatively you don’t feel like you’re part of a living world, but find yourself too often in a messy fantasy kit from the Everquest era.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Immersive, intensive and enhanced with cool motion controls only the lack of content is holding this VR shooter back.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    The premise is interesting, the visuals are good and you constantly feel the potential simmering under the surface. But overall this mystery action feels unfinished or unpolished too often for its own good.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    An interesting pack full of content from a former Assassin’s Creed era. While the story and setting is one of the most interesting ones in the franchise history, mechanically it shows the age of the original and is evident of the progress the AC games made since then.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Classic dungeon crawling in the likes of The Bard’s Tale with puzzle elements, surprising depth and colorful visuals.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Even with some unnecessary lengths within the collectables Nintendo and Good-Feel delivered again. Yoshi’s Crafted World is a thoroughly entertaining old-school platformer with puzzle elements.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Even after more than 100 hours in Washington DC, The Division 2 is still engrossing. And despite having some minor issues with the cover system this is a great shooter in a fascinating gameworld - the best of its kind.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    In the tradition of the Souls games From Software delivers once more, while sporting some brilliant new ideas: grappling hook, stealth elements and especially the ingenious battle system marks the next big step in the evolution of the mechanics Miyazaki-san and his team became famous for.

    Run-of-the-mill re-release of a content rich JRPG, whose visuals and mechanics are simply not up-to-date.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    This modern reconstruction of the “Descent” formula is a no-frills shooter that is almost perfect in its simplicity.
    • tbd Metascore

    An interesting experience focusing on fears and mental illness while constantly breaking the fourth wall.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    An interesting point & click adventure with lovable visuals and quirky characters that would have benefited from better puzzles.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Visually appealing and placid strategy with an interesting scenario, but not enough depth.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A beautifully relaxed puzzle adventure hat is held back by some technical shortcomings and sluggish controls.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It isn’t as accurate as a full roomscale VR experience, but nonetheless The Wizards on PSVR takes you into a world where you enjoy the power of magic as a result of your gestures.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Kudos to Capcom for injecting their stylish action with new life, thus making it a fierce competition for Platinums beautiful witch Bayonetta - in theory. But the “Insert Coin” mentality in the polarizing area of microtransactions needs to be adressed.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Yes, it is quite minimalistic. And it could use more content. But nonetheless this a gripping little gem that is perfectly suited for Roomscale VR.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Challenging tower defense/action mix for up to four demon hunters that needs quite some fine-tuning as well as a local co-op mode.
    • 76 Metascore
