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

Strong DLC package that brings back memories of Empire: Total War and puts Warhammer 3 back on track.

Gameplaywise and visually impressive remaster and a great JRPG, but slightly disappointing in regards of story and combat system.

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

Black Ops 6 is CoD at its most fundamental level: smooth, fast-paced and extremely cool, but definitely not visionary.

Is Bloodstained better for me than the Castlevania template? Probably it fails very close because Symphony of the Night keeps a very special nostalgic place in my heart.

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

Age of Wonder 4 sets its own accents and does its job very well. Yet, the gameplay is still too one-dimensional for the genre crown.

Once you've turned off your PC for ten minutes you'll want to go back and play some more, just one more level. If you like Tower Defense games, it's a clear must-buy.

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.

The most comprehensive, varied, and balanced multiplayer experience in call-of-duty history.

Stunning action adventure that delights with a challenging combat system and a breathtaking game world.

As far as gameplay is concerned, this is the best Deus Ex since the first one, with great action and great roleplay - but its greatest weakness is the story, of all things.

Great, extensive, colorful theme park simulation for roller coaster and park manager - even with snack stand supply system.

No character classes, no terrorists, no Second World-War, no AK-47 and no rewards. Do we want to play that? Oh yes! Once you launch the game and join a match, you simply can't stop playing.

Turbine adds Mirkwood to the game and with it came a lot of things to do for veterans. There are thrilling situations, cool instances and motivation until the end, so boring collect and destroy quests can be forgiven.

A well done addition to the main game with many new challenges like quests, vaults and skills.

A grandiose licensed game that makes up for minor flaws with creative game mechanics.

A visually outstanding remake of a timeless classic with captivating story, modern gameplay, and a few technical flaws.

Successful mixture of horror, exploration survival, but lacks endgame ideas for long-term motivation.

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

An impressive comeback of the Need for Speed series. The game shows the touch of the experienced team that created the GTR series. It's a clear recommendation for fans of racing game despite of some balancing problems and long loading times.

Terra Invcita is a typical modder game: full of soul and completely overloaded. [Early Access Review[

Only those who thoroughly deal with the fine adjustments of his car will have really great fun with the title. Accordingly racing game Newbies should stick to lighter fare.

Competent and challenging university management simulation with wacky subjects, chaotic students and a lot to smile about.

This indie gem guides through an emotional-nostalgic trip of personal history, relaxed and with a few small puzzles.

Farthest Frontier impresses with its well-designed survival gameplay and detailed graphics, but it also requires a lot of patience.

Kirby's 3D debut is a wonderful adventure on the Switch 2 as well, but the DLC could have used some fresh ideas.

Give this ugly duckling a chance. It may not become a swan, but it's a hell of duck. If you like Minecraft, this game will be a nice change with the focus on exploration.

Precisely because it is about dreams and fears, I forgive Little Nightmares 2 for this deliberately vague narrative style and I am all the more delighted with the playful and artistic freedom that the studio takes.

Finally there is a varied, fascinating game world, a terrific story and tons of content for solo players and groups.

Destiny 2 on PC is an ingenious Borderlands-style loot-based shooter that will delight you for hundreds of hours - if you'll allow it.

Retold brings back one of the best real-time strategy games and shows how well it still plays today with great graphics and faithfulness to the original.

The colourful action-RPG contains a lot of Disney charm, yet sometimes overshoots its goal.

A one-of-a-kind adventure in which players have to find as many bugs as possible and utilise them as creatively as possible.

The tactical elements go along really well with the action-heavy component of the game and with the large number of weapons and traps, it will not get boring.

The story may be a bit thin, but as far as gameplay is concerned, Hitman is an assassin's dream come true.

The Riftbreaker combines the base-building, action-RPG and survival genres. That can't work? Oh, it can, and this is the proof.

Funcom turned on the afterburner and if you don’t join now, you’ll miss a wild ride. If you didn’t know what to do after reaching level 80, you are in for a treat.

Indeed, it grieves me that Remedy has placed the survival horror passages comparatively unloving and exhausting in the game, but anger quickly fades behind the the fantastic story. Other developers may gladly follow its example.

Quotation forthcoming.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

Atmospheric gangster epic with many memorable moments and a wide array of mini-games. It does recycle some ideas from its predecessors.

Valuable remaster with technically excellent combat and a story that is still worth experiencing. Though, there's not much to do besides thrashing.

Wrecking simulation with amazing physics, excellent sound and a lot of alone-in-space atmosphere. In parts though very repetitive.

The concept for The Sexy Brutale is great and just as well implemented. But it's a pity that this great puzzle entertainment is over so quickly.

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

V Rising is a captivating vampire fantasy with atmospheric survival mechanics, despite the sometimes tedious hunt for resources.

Call of Duty: World at War goes back to the battlefields of World War 2. The game delivers well staged nonstop action and looks good, but the missions are barely connected, just like in the first three games of the series. It's still a good, maybe even a very good FPS, but not fit to hold a candle to its predecessor.

Torchlight is not just a clone of Diablo, it's a very good clone of Diablo, offered at a very low price. The game feels like a modern remake of Diablo, which is no big surprise, because it has been developed by former Blizzard employees Max and Erich Schaefer. The gameplay is so smooth it makes other games feel like work.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

Shadowlands is the revitalizing adrenalin injection the game desperately needed.

As demanding as it is gratifying. People with low frustration resistance are better off skipping Aiko's Choice.

A terrific DLC that is among the best that Warhammer and Total War have ever seen.

Thrilling survival adventure with a large, lovingly designed game world that comes to life thanks to many different insects.

Sam Fisher is back. Conviction is faster, harder and offers more action than the predecessors, but it’s still a Splinter Cell game at heart. And for the first time, Sam Fisher is a real human character.

Wrath of the Righteous is a true RPG epic, which, despite a silly quirk, surpasses its predecessor.

Brilliant co-op hit with first-class gunplay, yet Helldivers 2 still needs a few more patches.

Quotation forthcoming.

A fantastic fairytale journey full of creative ideas and a story that touches the heart.

An extremely tough Soulslike in the tradition of Bloodborne that borrows a lot but shines through creative weapon variety and challenge.

Brute, thrilling turn-based battles with superheroes, action cards and tactical maneuvers. Too much chatter between missions.

If you don't know the original game from 1994, you should play at the easiest level to understand the complex economy. There are three other nations competing with you to colonize the New World, the native Indians and, last but not least, the King of your nation in the Old World. The Independence War is one of the most entertaining ways to end a campaign ever seen in this genre. The game may not be perfect, but it's a motivating and challenging strategy game.

Roadwarden skillfully transports text-based role-playing into the modern age.

Quotation forthcoming.

Hearts of Iron 4 is extremely complex with love for details - a nightmare for beginners, but maybe still too easy for veterans of the series.

The small changed could have been sold as a DLC or add-on for F1 2010, but on its own F1 2011 is a first class racing game, challenging in higher levels and very entertaining.

Quotation forthcoming.

Resivent Evil 7 revitalizes the series. Thanks to the first person view and the outstanding atmosphere it's a real highlight of the horror genre.

Village continues what made Resident Evil 7 great. A strong ensemble of villains compensates for the unnecessarily convoluted story.

Undoubtedly the new racing game benchmark on the track, but there's still plenty of room for improvement.

F1 2018 has picked up and improved the strengths of its predecessor. Feels like an update, plays fantastic.

A magnificent DLC in the truest sense of the word. For hardcore fans though, it sets the wrong priorities.

The most authentic Dragon Ball battles ever let you live out your wildest fantasies.

It's complex and basically a game for people with an insane love for tactics. Once you survive despite all obstacles you'll feel like the smartest tactician of them all.

We don't know how many houses, blockades and towers we've destroyed while playing the game, but it never got boring. If the game had a much better story, it would have been a huge hit. But it's still a very good game.

The Remaster is a joy for C&C Veterans, but delivers less than it could in almost every respect.

This adventure tells a fantastic story with exceptional characters, lots of humor and allusions to well-known fantasy stereotypes and logical puzzles. The 3D landscapes are beautiful and the world made us feel right at home. We had to smile at little details very often and when we finished the game after 20 hours it was actually was a melancholy moment - the hallmark of an excellent adventure.

The free movement between the characters and the clever use of the skills is exciting and I am always motivated to find and use the next animal form.

An excellent addition to the main game, providing especially experienced knights with a few extra hours of entertaining gameplay.

Necrom combines a wonderful story, stunning areas, and a fun new Arcanist class with overly tedious combat.

Chivalry 2 offers a dense atmosphere and gripping medieval battles. The game builds on its traditional strengths and further improves them.

100 hours of gameplay without being bored for a second. The developers managed to replace routine with variety and long lasting motivation. Despite all the complexity, Anno 1404 never feels like work, but like one of the best games.

Hitman 2 tells the best Hitman story since Silent Assassin and offers strong and wonderfully creative assassin sandbox missions.

L. A. Noire: The VR Case Files focuses on the strengths of the main game, but the story suffers.

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

Blacklist takes a big step back. And in a positive sense.

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

Fantastic license adaptation that makes up for minor flaws with creative game mechanics.

A gripping gangster drama combined with a somewhat loveless port. Nevertheless a very worthy farewell for Kazuma Kiryu.

This is a brandnew adventure game in the style of old school games in the tradition of Sierra. It doesn't matter how pixilated the graphics or how complicated the controls are once the story and atmosphere managed to captivate you.

Quotation forthcoming.
