The ultimate all-in-one Age package finally arrives on consoles, with intuitive and clever controls. Kudos!

Dragon Quest 3 is in fantastic form in the visually stunning remake, but the gameplay can't hide its old age.

Tactically demanding genre mix that won't get boring any time soon, despite weaknesses in the story.

Diablo 4 is a masterpiece action RPG that only runs out of steam in the final meters of the endgame.

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

The most charming indie hype of recent years is finished. The perfect diversion between the blockbusters.

It represents a genre that I can not praise too often: the parody games! Just the Mass Effect allusions are worth gold.

MH Rise refines the combat system with clever innovations that both veterans and newcomers will enjoy - if they can overlook the low-grade graphics and story.

Quotation forthcoming.

The series has sold 100 million copies and this version should add another 100 million, because everything has been done right. If you liked The Sims, you will love this new version with all its love for details. It's a real masterpiece.

Kojima's prestigious project boasts a great technological framework, but still suffers from a lack of action and it’s one dimensional story.

Technically clean PC port of Yakuza history with many configuration options, well suited for newcomers.

A fantastic action adventure that leaves hardly anything to be desired, both in terms of gameplay and technology.

Tribes: Ascend has become for me a true love-hate relationship.

The Binding of Isaac is the reference for the rogue-like genre - even if you already know the "old" Isaac inside out.

Quotation forthcoming.

One of the best VR role-playing games so far, which impresses with more than just its size and manages to outperform its prequel.

Quotation forthcoming.

What a pleasant surprise. The Coalition was able to keep the proven and brutal gameplay feeling and still improve and develop it in a sensible way.

Very complex, slightly outdated turn based strategy game with five very long, exclusively German campaigns featuring over 1.000 different troops.

I won't stop until I've seen every little clip and then I'll hope for another game. The concept will work two, three or even four times. Agatha Christie didn't only write one book either.

The seemingly ageless and fun gameplay as well as the beautiful open world make up for a few gameplay blunders.

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

Due to the fantastic level design Dishonored 2 is one of the best stealth games of the last 15 years. But the story has been neglected.

The Open World is sometimes formulaic, but never loses its charm due to the gripping story and stunning graphics of the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster.

With the addition of the Warlock and some long overdue modernisations, the DLC successfully refreshes this unrivalled classic for the second time.

The open world of Crysis is no more and players are confined to long levels, but Crysis 2 offers more speed and more action and still more freedom than the whole Call of Duty series combined. The nanosuit much more important now and a lot easier to use.

An atmospheric journey into premodern Japan that offers impressive visuals and intense combat, but falls short with its open world design.

The RPG-shooter gameplay is outmoded, yet the remaster remains a timeless masterpiece for fans of epic stories.

This game is a very intense experience, no doubt at all. It mixes fast action with slow passages and perfectly done scripts. But it could have been much better had someone with talent written the story. It’s full of logical errors and gaps the size of the Grand Canyon… and the massacre on the airport only serves to show the missing tactfulness of the developer. But it’s a brilliant game, nonetheless.

This new version with polished graphics manages to beat the competition easily. Monkey Island is still one of the best adventures around, maybe still not a 100 percent up to date, but once you're in the Caribbean, you won't care anymore.

It meets my long-cherished desire to see one of my favorite games in contemporary garb.

CrossCode is a funky, charming and sometimes even too extensive action RPG with a pleasant nostalgic side.

Arc Raiders is a technically stunning, atmospherically dense, and easily accessible extraction shooter that impresses with its excellent AI.

It's been a long time since a first-person shooter has gripped me like Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus...An almost perfectly balanced mix of difficulty, humor and classic shooter gameplay with modern elements.

Quotation forthcoming.

Total War: Warhammer 3 is a brilliant conclusion to the Warhammer trilogy, just missing a little more polish in the campaign.

Improved almost everywhere, with a lot of atmosphere, but penalty system, damage system and scope still have room for further improvement.

Once again Codemasters delivers a great racing game, a worthy sequel and a sensible expansion of the game. Just the rain and snow races alone are reason enough to buy the game.

Intense but challenging action spectacle that rewards you with unforgettable experiences if you're willing to fight your way through.

Immersive survival horror in a lively island idyll, whose half-baked story presentation doesn't keep up with its other qualities.

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.

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

After playing hundreds of hours there is one thing we can say for sure: this is a good MMO, a very good one, maybe even the best. It offers great quests and great PvP and the fact that both help to gain levels is very motivating. Technically, the graphics are not that good, but landscapes and other places are full of details.

This is one of the best sports games of all time, even better than the predecessor. Improvements like the new physics make the game even more authentic than before.

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.

An authentic remake of the classic role-playing game with impressive technology, but it's missing more than two-thirds of the original's content.

Is the game a flop? Absolutely not. PUBG inspires me - even in its current state. There are only a few games in which I am so energized from the first to the last minute of a match. Playing a round with friends and then doing well leads to a fantastic feeling. Quite subjectively, PUBG is a great game. But objectively there is still a lot it's gotten wrong.

Quotation forthcoming.

Passionately produced role-playing game with wonderful character development and fun, but simplistic turn-based battles.

Thrilling and diverse multiplayer battles and a campaign with great gameplay - a real titan of the FPS genre.

In its current state, Core Keeper is no replacement for Terraria or Minecraft. [...] That, however, doesn't make Core Keeper a bad game, quite the opposite. [Early Access review]

It's seems a bit like heresy compared to other games of the genre. But Bliizard found a way to make it easier to get into the game without taking away the fun. Simple to learn, hard to master.

I would have liked a bit more variety.

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.

That’s how a sequel should be done. There’s a better story and a much more charming hero. Even the few flaws of the game can’t hurt the great overall impression.

An exemplary remaster of a classic shooter which is still a milestrone of the genre as far as gameplay is concerned.

Anyone who works their way through and does not expect too much eye-candy will be rewarded with a complex football manager that will keep you motivated for months.

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

Honestly, right now I feel like exploring the last corners of Greece as soon as I'm done, after writing the article...And that's always a very good sign for a game.

In the last generation of consoles, I only had tears in my eyes twice. During the Yuriko quest from Ghost of Tsushima. And the credits of Cyberpunk. Think of that wistful stomach ache when you finish your favorite book for the first time. All the great characters, the heartwarming experiences, the strokes of fate, the funny coincidences rattle past your inner eye once again. It will never be the same as the first time. You would love to have your memory erased by a Ripperdoc so that you can relive it all. That's what Cyberpunk 2077 does to me. And probably with you too.

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.

Fast and thrilling matches, precise controles - Rocket League is a multiplayer heavyweight. Server problems are testing your patience though.

In F1 2021, Codemasters expands the strengths of the predecessor and only slips up small with Braking Point.

Immortal Pillars is a worthy China expansion that only lacks some really outstanding moments.

The Talos Principle manages to mix its philosophical groundwork with the story. It also has great and rewarding puzzles.

Skylines has already exceeded my high expectations.

Timberborn isn’t the prettiest or most exciting city-building game, but it’s great fun to tinker with.

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.

Blizzard relentlessly addresses all points of criticism of Dragonflight and significantly improves the experience for casual players

Although the game degenerates into quite a grind after the completion of the first series of missions, the procedurally generated worlds and the friendly community provide enough variety for long enough.

The loading times and the occasional stuttering took off visibly on my nerves after 40 to 50 hours. That, together with the still not perfect enemy AI, may be criticism at a high level, but ultimately prevents Wasteland 3 from becoming a great role-playing game - you have to be satisfied with a very good one.

I have a lot of fun with the puzzles, most are wonderfully tricky, but still logical.

Yes, Inquisition is an all around excellent game...A beautiful fantastic world, a great roleplaying game - but not as good as Dragon Age: Origins

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

Zelda's great adventure is packed with beautiful stories. A highlight for every Switch collection! However, we have to lower our score because of technical issues: the heavily fluctuating frame rate, especially in docked mode, spoils the fun.

Greater than Starfield's ambitions is only the RPG's wasted potential. It still is a fun space trip, though.

The brute battles, the use of role-playing elements and the fast multi-play mode are exciting, but as far as mission design, story and balance are concerned, Dawn of War 2 doesn't live up to its potential. Relic created a novel strategy game, but the discrepancy between the more technical parts of the game and its mission design and story is obvious. Still, it's not a bad game at all.

Fascinating and surreal adventure with witty dialogues, bizarre scenes, countless innuendoes and imaginative puzzles.

Those who have hoped for similar style diversity as in the vampire gameplay pack or at least sim-quirks like in Werde-famous add-on, are tricked here.

A brilliant narrative RPG that’s a must-play, and not just for fans of Disco Elysium.

Action-packed, yet demanding multiplayer fun, but it lacks variety and depth in the long run.

Quotation forthcoming.

Hotline Miami has managed to captivate me from the beginning to the end.

The PC port of Final Fantasy 15 is a monster regarding scope, but the gameplay isn't on par with older series milestones.

Sauron is getting closer! The first add-on increases the scale of the game, adds new classes and items and moves the action a bit more to the east. There a few annoyances regarding game balance and small bugs, but they hardly matter because looking for new quests and leveling up is a lot of fun.

Graphics, sound, gameplay – everything just clicks here. This is the new benchmark for single-player shooters.

Diverting mystery adventure with an impressive, historical setting and a strong focus on its multi-layered plot.

A visually stunning survival construction mix to warm your freezing hands.

Strong VR sequel to the Batman: Arkham series that feels almost like the original with a first-person perspective.

I am disappointed by Control at a high level. In the beginning, the many mysteries and thus my curiosity pulls me through the game, but after a few hours disillusionment is spreading. The characters are as pale as the eternal hallways of the Old House monotonous. Hardly any opponent is a challenge if you regularly build Jesse's weapons and abilities at checkpoints.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's in bad taste, disgusting, difficult to digest - so it's a true and worthy South Park game. It's captures the humour and has lots of great ideas. Still, it's no RPG, it's all about the fun we all know from the TV series.

The combination of action and tower defense seems exotic at first glance, but quickly manages to hook you. However, there are limitations to the combat system.

Quotation forthcoming.

Tunic is a wonderful Dark Souls alternative that fails to strike a fair balance.

Old school stealth tactics game in a modern style with motivating and great level design that requires strategic finesse.

Capcom has done an excellent implementation for the PC.
