Doom is a great tribute to old times in a modern form. If you like fast shooters, there's nothing better at the moment.

The new fantasy setting offers huge and spectacular battles and new strategies, but the world map has been greatly simplified.

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 not polished and sometimes slow-moving, but full of cool sci-fi stories once you get into it.

It's a fascinating and moving paper chase, but having to walk around so much is quite annoying.

Despite some problems with game balance and mission design, this is the best Warhammer game since Dawn of War 2: Retribution.

Enter the Gungeon offers fresh and always fair pixel action and will be a thrill especially for Isaac fans.

Quantum Break is an action experience with great presentation, but on PC it doesn't look as spectacular as on Xbox One.

Perfect as a tech demo for Oculus rift and visually impressive even without the VR headset. But the gameplay is weak and sometimes even annoying. [VR Tested]

A rock-solid RTS with mass battles, but only for fans of multiplayer and skirmish. The campaign turns out to be a sad affair.

Retro action with fantastic presentation and high difficulty - an indie gem for professionals with resistance to frustration.

It's better than Dark Souls 2, weaker than the first one: it's a good completion to the trilogy, but it doesn't create new milestones.

A beautiful and complex sandbox game full of activities without a real endgame, lots of grind and weak PvE.

Accessible and clever racing entertainment, especially great in multiplayer mode and it looks great, too.

The Division offers an addictive search for more and better loot. Yes, it has weak spots, but the concept works and deserves a gold award.

It's a technically meager but very extensive wrestling simulation, showing the fascination of entertainment sports in great detail.

A classic, stylishly updated, for a fair price. Even without the nostalgia bonus it's a great adventure full of humor and weird characters.

It's a trip to the countryside with incredibly motivating game mechanics. Once you're there, you won't come back very soon.

There are some interesting ideas, but the simulation can't keep up with its own claims of being a job simulation.

Blade & Soul offers an action-packed battle system and fantastic PvP. But a lot of grind, too, and crafting is boring.

It's fun, beginner-friendly and thanks to the addictive level-up mechanics it offers lots of replay value, too.

Thrilling survival game that uses great atmosphere and smart ideas for a well done twist in the rogue-like genre.

Layers of Fear is a great experience, recommended for everyone who doesn't need monsters in a horror game.

It's a promising basic game with great fighting system, but too many features are missing still.

Full of atmosphere, funny and like LucasArts. Part 4 of the trilogy (!) stays true to its predecessors and that's how it should be. Please don't stop!

Grim Dawn takes the best of a lot of other action RPS and creates well thought out and yet original hack & slay fun.

Far Cry Primal brings the stone age to life like nothing else before, but the repetitive gameplay can't keep up with the great setting.

Superhot is a smart but short FPS. The unique game mechanics reward intelligence instead of fast reflexes.

Quotation forthcoming.

Quotation forthcoming.

A great experience for Marvel and Lego fans. Without that bonus it's just an average game.

Driving from A to B to C and back - it's a good job simulation with lots of atmosphere but also with room for improvement.

It offers a fascinating world to explore, but the gameplay isn't very challenging.

Once you're over the especially steep learning curve you'll be able to play around in an extremely huge space sandbox.

The same game thrice? That doesn't work and that's a shame. Maybe that's why this game has been released without great announcements.

Beautiful and moving jump & run with puzzles, solid game mechanics and a great hero.

The gameplay is a wreck, the heroine is lame, the story is ridiculous and the humor is cringe-worthy. Already one of the worst games of the year.

Everything that was great has been improved, but there are some problems with the controls and the growing difficulty.

Brain off, trigger finger on. It's easy to forget the simple visuals and it's ideal for a quick game.

Improved visuals, the typical Resident Evil feeling and zombies. If you can accept the shortcomings, you should give it a try.

Oxenfree is a thrilling ghost story. Impatient gamers and action fans should stay away.

The transfer of Homeworld from space battles to ground battles works very well. Great campaign, but AI and balancing problems disturb the fun.

Challenging rally simulation with Loeb bonus, but inferior to Dirt Rally in all aspects.

Pony Island is a very entertaining experience full of constant surprises and funny things.

A quite brutal dark fantasy RPG that forces you to rethink, lets heroes die and thus creates a very intensive experience.

Huge and challenging RPG including a great pawn system. Give this title a chance, despite its average looks.

Steven Spielberg once said that games could only become a true storytelling art form when they manage to make you cry. This game will.

It's like an alternative Fallout with simple turn-based fights and old school atmosphere. A good tip for Fallout veterans.

Outdated shooter with a dinosaur bonus. Only retro fans with too much money to spend will be thrilled.

Action filled fun with lots of endearing heroes and great game mechanics, but it lacks diversity.

Lone wolves will enjoy the great story and the demanding Maelstrom arena, but Orsinium isn't really a MMO experience.

It's an open world RPG for extremely patient and cooperative settlers who can also stand a lot of grinding for resources and skills.

Dirt Rally is the best rally simulation at the moment and one of the best racing games of all time. Beginners will find it to be quite difficult.

Every single activity is unbelievably repetitive and boring and the graphics look like they're from the year 2003. It may have been a cool idea, but the implementation is awful.

A real tactical shooter at last. Rainbow Six: Siege offers great and hard multiplayer battles, but it needs more content.

A great Metroid-style action adventure with fantastic presentation. Could have been a bit longer and demanding though.

A demanding and motivating shooter which is best with three teammates. One of the most underrated action games of the year.

Mordheim is a lot of fun, despite its rough corners, if you are patient and willing to live with harsh consequences.

A refreshing old-school building strategy game for patient players, which only displays its charm and potential after a few hours of playing. It's love at second sight.

The most bombastic open-world title of the year is like a playground that works better, the more you lower your brain activity. Brain off, fun on.

It's more than just an XCOM clone. Hard West is Wild West mystery with tactics, depth and death. It only fails with regard to long-term motivation.

Autentic interactions with the main characters of the series can't change the fact that there's no real freedom of choice and that kills the fun in the end.

Huge atmospheric open world racing game which lacks really good multiplayer ideas. In combination with the main game it's superior to similar games like Need for Speed.

Battlefront is a mainstream shooter without too many problems. But apart from the Star Wars atmosphere is doesn't offer anything special.

They saved the best for last. Legacy of the Void is a moment of glory for the RTS genre and a worthy conclusion to StarCraft 2. Where else can you still find lovingly made campaigns, fantastic presentation and ingenious multi-player in one single game?

It’s an end times RPG with a huge atmospheric world, but with fewer odd stories than Fallout 3 and full of standard quests. Even the main story falls a bit short.

It's one of the best co-op shooters since Left 4 Dead 2, but bugs, design shortcoming and technical problems lower the score.

A brave new start which sacrifices the traditional elements of trade and tough competition and replaces them with a truly epic endless game.

If you don't expect the promised but mostly missing D&D rules, this can be a very entertaining RPG. Otherwise you will be disappointed. The editor is useless (for now).

Its a funny adventure with a great narrative and will entertain Borderland fans and new players alike.

A refreshingly different coming-of-age drama that takes our decisions seriously. Technically it's a bit rough which diminishes the atmosphere from time to time.

Lots of retro feeling, small scale. Only real fans of the 80s' transformers will enjoy Devastation. Sorry kids, these are not the Transformers you're looking for.

Lots of content, full of variety and extremely will written. This is a well-done add-on for a low price.

The huge amount of improvements are fitting well. It's no Alpha Centauri 2 yet - but it's getting closer.

Plan, build, fail, sell and try again. Behind the functional graphics of Prison Architect there's a complex, motivating and very good prison simulation.

Fight, level up, explore, conquer, build. Even after 20 years this still manages to glue you to the screen. Incredible.

The PC version seems to have some technical problems on some machines, but if you don't mind that and the career mode full of cliché then this is a monster slam dunk.

A fascinating viking journey with silent moments and boss fights, but it sometimes lacks narrative.

A beautiful world, but the puzzles are very simple. No masterpiece, but still a great experience.

Whatever The Beginner's Guide is supposed to be: it's well done and everything we could say about it would be a spoiler.

If you want to rule over Europe you can look forward to complex trading and city building. For military strategist it may fall short.

Looks like FIFA 15, but it's a better game. FIFA 16 improves the gameplay and is on par with PES 2016 again.

This add-on improves the gameplay and the atmosphere of an already great game. It's the sole ruler of the city builder genre.

It still plays great, better than FIFA - but we are fed up with graphics downgrades for PC gamers.

Better than the original Kickstarter version. It's not perfect, but a step in the right direction and worth playing - due to the lack of competition.

I hate this game. And I love it. No other game managed to motivate me so often to have another go. But the crashes and some unfair situations are frustrating.

A fascinating underwater world and a deep story exploring human fate. But if you are looking for pure horror, this is not for you.

At its best, it's an exciting mix of chess and RTS but there are just too many frustrating moments.

A traditional RTS with clever ideas that struggles a bit due to the weak single player campaign. Still the best RTS we've seen in a long time.

It captures the charm of the outstanding original, and should satisfy fans of the original. However, it is also monotonous, tough and a little unimaginative.

MGS5 is an enormous open-world adventure, a monster of a game that can entertain for months.

A well-done revival of Syndicate for real-time strategists with strong nerves. Brains and coordination triumph over fast clicking.

It starts like a great game with a fantastic horror atmosphere, but then turns into a B-movie with a convoluted story and absurd puzzles.

Evoland 2 is a bombastic mix of console-type RPG, fighting game, turn-based strategy and platformer - something for real game experts.

Story, characters and dialogues make it a thrilling game, despite the stagnant game mechanics.

With a bit more time, this could have been a great game. But now it's just a hint of what could have been.
