A ghost ship, an unpredictable script and non-linear gameplay. This interactive horror will show you that fear can be an art.

A feast for your eyes and ears that will satisfy you with fun physics and a touch of the supernatural. The story could be a bit better, the metroidvania features are surplus to requirements and some side missions are a drag, but the atmosphere is top notch - and the gameplay doesn’t lag far behind.

You will hardly find a more elaborate sci-fi 4X turn-based strategy. Functional diplomacy, solid AI and brilliant battles are further supported by a highly modular approach to hero and unit customization.

Although there are many different mutations on offer in RAD, their gameplay impact is often similar. Roguelike veterans will find nothing new here - but it just might be the perfect starting point for genre newbies.

Forged of Blood isn’t a bad first game for the developer, Critical Forge, and it will surely find an audience, even though its graphics are atrocious. This turn-based strategy is very good gameplay-wise - but also way too verbose and overly complex.

Fun singleplayer or cooperative card game with the topic and illustrations bound to please every Tolkien fan. However, it’s worse than its board game counterpart and hampered by an amateurish interface and a weak AI.

The WRC series is getting better step by tiny step. Career mode, dynamic weather and a good overall feeling behind the wheel will make every racer happy - but next time, we expect more content and better polish.

A game typical of its developer, Spiders. Huge ambitions, attractive environments, lots of great ideas… but it’s all put together in exactly the wrong way. Give GreedFall a chance only if you’re willing to put up with an average game.

WARNING: If you try this game, you will never stop.

This is a deeply average stealth game, its saving graces being only the very unconventional topic, open narrative structure and competent acting.

Another excellent addition to Arma 3, following in the footsteps of Laws of War. Don’t worry about the topic of aliens on Earth - the atmosphere is actually tense and full of great moments.

The successor to beloved Journey is larger and more courageous. Sky is innovative, magical, boasting a unique multiplayer system straining to make us courteous and… good. It is simply incomparable to any other mobile game.

These truck races don’t know whether they’re an arcade game or a simulation, but one thing is certain: While the singleplayer career is good, the multiplayer component is a total mess.

Blazing Chrome is a great platformer - but a very difficult one. It’s a delight for all fans of Contra or Metal Slug or, more generally, for anyone looking for a wonderfully punishing time.

A fantastic experience that will take over your life for hours on end. Tactical battles and micromanagement of your units join forces with complex relationships and a good story.

Good job! Fun came roaring back to Wolfenstein, surprisingly through cooperative multiplayer, sandbox and RPG elements. All those new ideas don’t work perfectly, but they do enough for you to like them - especially in the company of a friend.

A finely crafted physics puzzle game. Its original concept could perhaps be milked a little bit more thoroughly, but it’s still well worth a playthrough - even more so if you’ve got a multiplayer partner.

Etherborn is a dreamy trip of a body in search of its voice across beautifully crafted levels, supported by a soundtrack that is simply flawless. Plus you must solve some puzzles that toy with gravity. And that’s it - but honestly, this game doesn’t need anything else.

Sea of Solitude plays with your emotions. It’s not a brilliant game, but that’s not really the point. This is all about the story, all about the introspection. And those work perfectly.

It looks and sounds amazing, the driving is wonderful, but there are so many things still missing - namely enough content, playable multiplayer and technical polish.

A very complex, but also quite accessible turn-based strategy from AGEod Studios that aims to simulate all the complexities of ancient civilizations. Yes, there are minor pratfalls and lapses, but a patient general will succumb to its charms all the same.

A great successor to a great game that pulls off everything its predecessor did, and something more besides. But there are also the same mistakes and some brand new ones.

Another masterpiece by Nintendo. Super Mario Maker 2 is a delight for every creative soul out there - and yet also cares about players with no interest in designing their own levels. There are dozens of hours of pure fun for both of those groups.

A refreshing trip to the beginnings of modern Japan in a company of furious, heavily armed samurai. The tactics are everything and the best offense is a solid defense. Not every retro is cool, but this comeback is absolutely worth the price.

This Slavic strategy is a very distinguished successor to the first installment. It’s undoubtedly a difficult game, but you will yearn for “one more turn”.

This temporally unique game adds something new with your every death and moves the story forward beautifully. The environments are breathtaking, the music will soothe you. This is the perfect game for those of you who are, above all, curious.

Solid, but unbalanced mix of strategy genres. It suffers from several suspect design choices that all but destroy the tempo of the game, further exacerbated by a lacklustre story campaign.

A great remake of a very specific game for a very specific audience. Crash Team Racing is a solid alternative to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but it’s not for everybody - and you should know beforehand what you’re getting into.
