An excellent PC port of an already excellent game.

esperados 3 is simply staged staggeringly: The Western atmosphere is tight for editing, I can experiment tactically with the five characters, sneak through almost completely or occasionally incite shootings. My heroes comment on the action, and with a few exceptions, the behavior of the opponents is logical and understandable. I even fail because I always know what was wrong and can optimize accordingly. This is what modern real-time tactics must look like. Be sure to play it.

As an action blockbuster Gears 5 is outstanding.

Quotation forthcoming.

A world full of heroes, dangers and adventures with a story deeply embedded onto the lore of Warcraft. The best add-on so far.

This is the first great game of 2010. It’s a worthy successor to the first game and a fast paced science fiction drama. Maybe no one except Bioware really knows how to tell stories and create believeable characters. It’s more than just a role playing game and also technically advanced.

With the return to World War 2, Battlefield reaches a new zenith thanks to meaningful innovations - if one disregards the single player.

Three Brothers, one woman, one destiny: the tragic story of the McCalls in Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is one of the best ever told in an action game. If you're looking for a diverse (albeit linear) shooter with a great story, duels and chases, this is the game for you.

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

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway offers the best gameplay and narrative of all three parts of the series. It's a thrilling shooter, tells a haunting story that shouldn't leave anyone untouched and the cut scenes are fantastic. The AI has a few bugs, but most of the time the other soldiers act convincingly intelligent. The best "Brothers in Arms" so far.

It's a great game with a good story and presentation, but maybe it could have been even better with a bit more of development time. Nontheless, Dragon Age 2 is a new masterpiece from Bioware.

Great atmosphere and story as before, but visually it's a great step forward and recommended for new players.

Great sandbox fun with a strong action aspect and lots of fair, creative riddles using challenging game mechanics.

As far as gameplay is concerned it's a huge step forward - and a step back for AI and graphics.

Reasonable innovations and a completely new Xen complement the authentic Half-Life atmosphere: This is what a remake should look like.

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

Playing cards is just something for the elderly? Not Battleforge. The game combines card collecting with fast real-time strategy. After the good tutorial you have to digest a lot of information. Just imagine starting a strategy game with the last mission. But it's worth hanging on, there are a lot of possibilities. The game even looks good.

A classic adventure game masterpiece with great puzzles that never leaves the player alone or clueless what to do next. If you like the classic adventure games, go and buy it.

It's a playable zombie movie. Would you like to hunt down the infected or rather rip human flesh to shreds? What may look like a simple shooter turns out to be very challenging, scary and a lot of fun. The game may be short, but with great replay value and different ways to play like versus mode or co-op mode.

Quotation forthcoming.

Captivating mix of Metroidvania, beat-em-up and platform action - the Persian prince is in top shape.

Graphically impressive flight sim, based on global map data. Great for hobby pilots who fly on sight, but with problems when it comes to big airliners and autopilot.

Monster Hunter World captivates with thrilling boss fights and its variety of weapons, but the PC port could have been technically better.

Challenging, exciting, accessible, and beautiful: Wuchang pays homage to Dark Souls while still managing to stand on its own two feet.

An emotionally addictive adventure with simple gameplay. Its moving story will stay with you for a long time.

Pyre is a picturesque little masterpiece that impresses with its dense atmosphere as well as with its gameplay qualities.

Dead Space is great entertainments for adults, not only because of the amount of gore and horror, but also because of the enthralling story with some nice twists. It's impressive how well pictures, dialogues and sound work together to form a cinema-like atmosphere.

Brutally difficult and thrilling 2D platformer with Metroidvania innuendos, a crazy scenario and motivating learning curve.

If the joy of driving were a melody, Forza Horizon 3 would play almost every note perfectly. A milestone for the racing genre, but with some technical problems.

Fast-paced, very smart and original adventure for two players, full of surprises and awe-inspiring moments.

Lords of Shadow is the best action-adventure game in recent years.

Exceptional level design and brilliantly silly humour elevate Crash 4 to a more than worthy successor.

Rocking beat'em up with excellent flow, likeable characters and fantastic humour. A good time is guaranteed.

8 point more than the nearly identical predecessor? Yes, because Tropico 4 is a lot more polished and easier to unterstand. And there is a story with surprises and funny radio moderators.

The fact that recruits can easily be found in the world is also a good way of drawing attention to the open world. Because it should be seen: As an open-world city, London feels amazingly real and is full of life. Sometimes I ignore all the missions and prefer to drive a little with music through the brightly lit streets, watch people while I am strolling along the Thames or fly high over the roofs in a cargo drone to look for the best way to a hidden technology point.

Quotation forthcoming.

Sophisticated sequel with outstandingly complex game mechanics. The bad AI is a drawback.

If you have even a spark of interest in the space, you should consider purchasing. Kerbal Space Program is complex, but unique.

Piranha Bytes stayed true to old virtues and delivered the role-playing game one would expect: very old-fashioned, very German and very good. But this game requires you to be very active, to explore a lot. If you need to taken by the hand by a good story, then Risen is not for you. The game isn't fun because of the story, but despite it.

It's a better game in all respects. It also digs itself into your heart with lots of charm and variety.

There's currently not a better real-time campaign anywhere.

I particularly like the playful freedom that the flexible 3-action system offers.

Very good port: the best city-building sim for consoles! The controller control needs some practice but works nicely.

What a great obituary for Colin McRae. If you ever need to show someone how today’s game can look like, get Dirt 2. It’s a joy for the eyes and it’s a great racing game, full of action, with great presentation and easy to get into. A few more tracks would have been nice, though. But playing over network alone is worth buying the game.

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

The sheer power of storytelling is amazing and shows the way for other games. There are some bugs which could have been ironed out in a few more weeks of development time. But it's still a great game that feels like playing a fantasy novel.

F1 22 delights with new cars and a perfect Formula 1 atmosphere, but the driveability could use some fine-tuning.

Banner Saga 2 surpasses the predecessor and continues the touching saga. An atmospheric masterpiece.

FIFA Manager 10 brings a new visuals with a powerful 3D engine for the matches. We can be a football player, a coach or the president offering many options perfect for the soccer fans. Sadly It has several problems in the matches engine but the game is more focused to the spectacular way than realistic. The best addition is the multiplayer online mode. The best FIFA Manager untill now.

Highly recommend for armchair generals with an interest in that epoch of history and lots of time to get into the game.

Thrilling old-school role playing game with total freedom and challenging battles.

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

Bioshock looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, has more vending machines than all other action games put together and dares not to tell the whole story to inspire your own fantasy.

FM24 refines proven mechanics, surprises with useful innovations and is worthwhile despite the promised mega upgrade in FM25.

The many missions and unlockables also offer plenty of food for many hours raid pleasure.

Quotation forthcoming.

If we don't encounter bugs, Pathfinder: Kingmaker with its epic scope is nothing less than the heir to Baldur's Gate.

The first add-on to Dragon Age: Origins continues the story and adds new areas, monsters, quests and skills. It may be a bit short, but it’s a great adventure.

The seventh C&C strategy game is a wicked mix of funny ideas, great cut scenes and comical military units.

The game is great fun, especially the new co-op mode, even though the KI and the graphics engine are not really up to date.

Hell Let Loose is a great World War shooter that reliably pursues the middle ground between action and strategy.

Even better than its predecessor: this remake is on its way to the high score.

The mix of hunting, gathering, counquering, improving and leveling is still compelling - but now it's in HD.

Beautifully presented story game with strictly linear sneak puzzles that only rarely cause frustration.

One thing is for sure: My laptop camera will remain taped for the time being.

A lot of the usual equipment is missing, which doesn't matter too much because of the great atmosphere. But in the long run after getting all the gold medals, we'll go back to the main game.

This is not only a Need for Speed how it should be, it's also a nod to the best part of the series. What a car park! Those car chases! And the rush of speed. And online it's even better.

If you like classic online RPGs, battles full of action and weird humor, you can't go wrong with this one.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is an intense horror experience with a profound story and fantastic design, despite the technical glitches.

Nioh 3 impresses with open levels that combine familiar ideas with a dynamic and unrestricted combat system.

A well-made adventure-kick-off thanks to companions and Oblivion nostalgia, however, it suffers from performance issues and a too spacious area.
