Dungeons 4 sticks to its guns: slapstick humour, dungeon master vibes and simple gameplay. Nothing more, nothing less.

It stats a bit slow, but once Nathan has learned all his special attacks, the fights turn out to be quite a show – despite their occasionally high difficulty. Once you manage a jump combination without touching the floor once, you'll feel euphoric.

The Sims Medieval is a funny game for explorers, full of little gems, but the everyday life of the Sims has been simplified and feels routine very quickly. It's very entertaining for a while, but too shallow to motivate for long.

A great detective story with lots of vampire flair, trapped in the toothless body of a thin-blooded sequel.

Fun anime adventure with vehicle battles, that is sadly far too simple and could have used a bit more variety.

Monolith's sympathetic main character, logical puzzles, and surprising plot twists make you forget the low budget.

Long live trash! Raven Software proves that even absurd stories can be entertaining, as long as there's a decent game to back it up. But there was a lot more potential.

It looks like Ubisoft can't leave the prince alone. This game looks a bit rushed and it's the weakest of the series. Nonetheless it's a good game and more demanding than the last one.

Krater makes me sad... It has a lot of potential.

It takes two or three hours until the game really takes off, but then the thrilling story with lots of objectives unfolds with nightmarish drama. The inventory system is one of the dumbest every created, but if you like thrilling adventures you should give it a go.

At its core, a superb Battle Royale that currently suffers from technical issues and some unfortunate design decisions.

Visually compelling teen horror spectacle that, despite a high degree of freedom of choice, runs a bit out of breath at the end.

If you can look past the bland setting and the repetitive gameplay, this well-balanced genre mix could be your thing.

Songs of Silence manages to convince with fresh ideas, but their implementation still reveals weaknesses.

This sequel ignores the less popular Broken Sword 3 and 4. One the one hand that's great, because it revives the atmosphere of the first two games and it works. But technically it's not up to date and the important puzzles are too easy to solve. But there's hope for part 2.

The online RPG The Chronicles of Spellborn suffers from a lack of players, so there is hardly any PvP and some tasks are almost impossible to be done alone. There are still too many bugs to attract more players, but once they are fixed, the game could be a nice alternative to the main players of the genre.

The experience points system and the succession unlockable diagnostic tools are a step in the right direction.

Logical and inspired.

Genshin Impact is a very good and entertaining action role-playing game, which manipulates itself with its monetization in the endgame.

It's amazing for a project created by three siblings from Spain and one artist. But it's a bit short and the cliffhanger at the end keeps you asking for more.

Even as an adult it's possible to get lost in a seemingly childish world and have fun with the deep stories, weird characters and world. It's worth a try despite its problems.

I would recommend Ground Zeroes without hesitation were it not for the extremely short playing time.

The huge world of FUEL is fascinating, but not much more than just a backdrop. There should be better reasons to drive around for 30 minutes than just unlocking a new paint job for your car.

Do you remember the original hunter in World of Warcraft? Where you could look for and then tame wild beats? I miss that and that's why I like Dragon's Prophet with its Pokémon-like hunt for exotic creatures.

Quotation forthcoming.

Under the catastrophic porting shell is a great role-playing game core.

This war of the vampires is rapid and entertaining, inviting you to a few matches in an atmospheric setting. Even without dice!

Broken Arrow manages a brilliant tightrope walk between strategic depth and action-packed presentation, but struggles with unnecessary difficulty owing to the lack of a save function, among other things.

Did you spend countless hours with tower defense games? Anomaly: Warzone Earth turns the tables and offers tower offense. Presentation, controls and mission design are well done, so it's well worth the money.

Lots of weapnon, fast action, huge explosions and impressive sounds, but no automatic healing or taking cover. Hard Reset was supposed to be old school and it is. It could have been more than just a five-hour-game, though.

The game can be quite challenging, especially in the round-bases game mode, but after one week you've seen all the game has to offer. Nonetheless it's the perfect game for small tournaments from time to time and to give elves a good thrashing.

It doesn't really manage to combine brains and entertainment. That's a pity because it could be a great game.

Clever gameplay with changing worlds drives the action role-playing game, but long-term motivation fails to appear.

Neat shooter remake, which despite its plot weaknesses entertains just as well as back then. Without multiplayer, it is, however, a rather thin package.

Basically, I recommend the game to anyone who enjoys this kind of life sim.

Exceptional action spectacle with grandiose drawings and environments, extremely bizarre monsters and teen drama.

An unshakeable gameplay core and some minor innovations save this technically completely outdated game from being a complete letdown.

Atmospheric adaptation of the story as interactive visual novel. Overall a bit too lengthy and static with little gameplay variety.

If you prefer creating things instead of destroying them, please forgo Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. Playing a mercenary in Venezuela you blow up multi-story buildings, restaurants, hotels, factories, cars and boats in several missions. The controls could have been better, but it's still fun, and instead of complaining about the shortfalls of the game you could always just go and blow up something else.

Co-op buccaneers will have fun with Sea of Thieves, but without a character development and more variety regarding missions the hunt for treasures gets boring quickly.

Thymesia offers a fantastic combat system, which, however, can hardly unfold due to the short play time.

An atmospherically dense, but narratively weak tactical game that can't hold a candle to its outstanding predecessor, Mutant Year Zero.

World War Z is a third-person mix of Left 4 Dead and Killing Floor 2 with the biggest enemy hordes I've ever seen in a game. This is really impressive, but at some point you get fed up with it and what's left is a zombie shooter like many others - mind you not a bad one, but not one that absolutely must be played.

With its artistic and creative approach, Bulwark offers a genuine experience, which may however quickly become boring for some types of players.

Vessel annoyed me at first with the more sub-optimal control, but the more I've played, the more fun but I had it.

Hero shooter for solo players. Despite gameplay flaws it convinces with a diverse heroic war, great campaign and plenty of self-irony.

Cities Skylines 2 is an outstanding transportation simulation, but as a city-building game it still doesn't feel as polished as its predecessor.

This extremely difficult indie RPG in the style of the 90s offers a lot of depth but no comfort features.

This solo work demonstrates that a linear shooter campaign can be as entertaining as the largest open-world.

If you like pure action, just add another 10 to 15 points because of the atmosphere. Everybody else should prepare for a extremely linear action game, but it's still a lot of fun.

A fine strategy game to spend some leisure time, yet the gameplay mechanics lack profundity to facilitate a more serious examination.

Sins of a Solar Empire 2 delivers exactly what it promised: a good skirmish mode, better technology and not a single polygon more.

System Shock is a very faithful remake that sacrifices a lot of potential for modernization for its nostalgia.

Despite a lack of gameplay variety, Remothered is a gripping horror experience due to its dense atmosphere.

Easygoing building sim for production chain aficionados, which, however, suffers from campaign flaws and a lack of long-term stimulus.

Bright Harvest provides an interesting challenge for Anno 1800, but that is not enough, even for a DLC.

America's Army 3 can be really good if you have a good connection to the server and if you can find other motivated and cooperative players. But it can take hours until you are able to find that combination. The US army should fix the problems if they want to make a good impression.

A truly groundbreaking experience is not the mish-mash of clues, uninspired fireworks and quite appealing story with a rather lame ending - but for answering difficult questions, you have to beat The Sinking City more than just on the back.

Boyfriend Dungeon offers a fresh take on dating sims but skimps on scope and storytelling.

Ara: History Untold dares a lot, but many things still don't work out as planned. It still falls short of its role model, Civilization.

A very dynamic game. The fights are challenging, the puzzles and skill tests are entertaining. Sure, most of the gameplay elements have been taken from other games, but that doesn't hurt. If you are looking for a good action game, you'll have fun for sure. We just missed a combo counter.

A challenging historical detective game with a few twists and turns that will really make your brain cells and notepad work overtime.

Quotation forthcoming.

The fusion of real-time strategy with tower defense rules works surprisingly well.

Surprisingly good compared to Sniper Elite 2 and great fun for sniper fans.

Quite an usual game. Changing landscapes may sound dull, but it's amanzingly motivating due to the great physics. It's a shame that the presentation is quite dry and the game may be too difficult for beginners.

It takes quite some time to get into the game and a lot of it will be spent loading saved games, but once you're over that stage, Hired Guns offers a lot of fun. The game feels like a graphically enhanced Jagged Alliance 2, which isn't bad - quite the opposite. Hired Guns has its weaknesses, but is appealing nontheless.

The Witcher could have been a much better roleplaying game if it wasn't for it's long loading times, unnecessary traveling, uncomfortable handling and bugs.

Endless Dungeon is a strategically challenging genre mix, but it only reaches its full potential in co-op.

Quotation forthcoming.

If I had tried to play this in my spare time, I would have given up after a few hours. Until then it's just confusing. But as a tester I had to play on and later on it's much better, more diverse and a motivating story.

RPG fans who have the stamina and who are after a singleplayer role-playing game that does not rely on the old-school could still have fun with Greedfall and should give it a chance. And even if it is only to love the extraordinary world design.

Currently, I still hope that a simple replacement function for user-generated challenges or even entire campaigns will be available again.

A scaled-down Stellaris look-alike with Star Trek flair that would have deserved more love and scale.

Fun village builder in a well-made historical setting. However, the game suffers from heavy grind and a lack of endgame variety.

It looks good, it's cool to play, but the singleplayer feels stretched and there are not enough different opponents to balance this.

It has strong points like stealth gameplay and co-op, but all in all it's just average. A focus on stealth would have been better.

It's quite similar to Panzer Corps but it's still fun to hit the orcs and their boss Ghazghkull Thraka right between the horns.

A daring reboot for the horror franchise that does many things right, but hinders itself too often with poor design choices.

Diverse arcade racer with an impressively huge game world, but the enormous potential isn't used enough.

It's a solid and entertaining classic RTS event though it's hard to identify yourself with some grey slime.
