After this shock I must urgently re-play something better. For example, Aliens: Colonial Marines.- GameStar

The basic concept is solid, but due to its bad implementation, the game is almost a total write-off.- GameStar

Only the fact that games like this are rare on PC may make Garshasp an interesting game for some people. But we hardly had any fun with it. What did the developers do during the three years of development time?- GameStar

Scorpion: Disfigured uses some well-known features from other games, like weapon and character improvements (Deus EX) or psychic abilities (System Shock 2). But nothing really works well, not even shooting, which feels like throwing cotton balls. For a shooter, that's the final nail in the coffin and this game should be buried.- GameStar

We didn't expect part 2 to be better than part 1, but it scores 49 instead of the 48 points of the predecessor. Only 33 more Harry Potter games to go to be as good as the first one from 2002.- GameStar

There's just one basic problem with Pirates of Black Cove: the developers forgiot to deliver a game. What's the point of all the items and upgrades if nothing really makes a difference?- GameStar

What I absolutely do not think is right: to sell a half-cooked game as a "finished" product - with less content than six years ago! Because so leaves the completely surprising release of Cube World a more than bland connotation.- GameStar

Lovely Planet wants to hammer home that it is sweet, crazy and colorful. But unfortunately, this is all just a facade. Underneath it's a superficial shooter that offers little variety and I can always shoot down the same boring tube passages.- GameStar

I could fill novels with what is wrong with Postal 3. To shorten the whole thing, three words are enough: I am shocked. Not by the representation of violence and the scabrous knee-slappers, that many people see in the series. No, I'm shocked that Postal 3 turns out to be a technically older than dirt data cluster with lame gameplay, which has absolutely nothing really individual anymore. Oh dear, Postal 3 stimulates not even controversial discussions! In the end, it consists only of trivial game mechanics, which were copied cheesy from other games and have nothing to do with Postal itself anymore. Thereby Postal 3 is one of the biggest disappointments of 2011 for me. What have the developers just done for all eight years?- GameStar

I would like to like that game because of its B-movie story and because of the natural-disaster-weapon. But as far as game design is concerned everything is just plain wrong: controls, AI and path finding.- GameStar

The game hardly develops original concepts and fails to implement the more complex structures seen in its role models. There is just no reason to choose Star Dynasties over Crusader Kings 3 or Stellaris.- GameStar

The approach of combining the gameplay of Factorio with action- and roguelike elements is very interesting in theory. However, its implementation currently leaves too many wishes unfulfilled, especially in regard to the far too simplistic combat system. [Early Access]- GameStar

Who would have thought that an Early Access game these days would come onto the market in a more complete state than some of the triple-A blockbusters. Bugs and glitches are negligible and are fixed remarkably prompt. Myth of Empires is an exciting project, which, especially at its full release, could shake up the genre. [Early Access]- GameStar
