    Stray is a well-rounded gaming experience with an exciting narrative, excellent graphics and an incomparable cyberpunk atmosphere.

    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.

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

    Overwatch doesn't reinvent the wheel, but mixes well-known mechanics to create one of the best games of the genre in years.

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

    All in all, F1 2019 has become an outstanding racing game, but not because of this year's innovations, but because of the sovereign basis that Codemasters has built up over the years. With Formula 2, this basis has become even more stable.

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

    A completely renewed Dragon Age that struggles with some ifs and buts, but above all plays on a very high narrative level.

    • 86 Critic Score
    Age of Empires 4 brings classic real-time strategy back in top form, but misses the chance for a rousing campaign.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    A brilliant narrative RPG that’s a must-play, and not just for fans of Disco Elysium.

    A successful addon, with which WoW works on its foundation and responds to fan requests.

    Black Ops 6 is CoD at its most fundamental level: smooth, fast-paced and extremely cool, but definitely not visionary.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Action fans who are not bothered by the bloody presentation should definitely get the game. If you can find a friend to play the ingenious Co-Op mode with, Gears of War is a must-have.

    Like its predecessor, Fantasy General 2 captivates from the first mission.

    The Whispered World is a stunningly beautiful adventure game with a great story for adults. It makes you smile, touches your heart, makes you sad and thoughtful. A little masterpiece with a small, but great hero.

    It's better, bigger and more sophisticated than the predecessor almost everywhere - except for the controls and business model.
    • 82 Metascore

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

    Children of Morta proves for me with flying colors that we have to focus on the indie sector in terms of innovation. At least when it comes to playful progress away from photorealistic graphics.

    At first, this looks like just another Counterstrike clone. But there’s more depth and variety, despite the lack of content.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Trackmania 2 builds on the strengths of the predecessors and offers even more fun, experimentation, races decided by milliseconds and a powerful track editor. There's fun for months in it.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    V Rising is a captivating vampire fantasy with atmospheric survival mechanics, despite the sometimes tedious hunt for resources.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Almost identical to XCOM 2 in visuals and gameplay, although not as polished. Hit zones provide more tactical depth, though.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The best Wolfenstein so far. Interesting places, remarkable characters, drama, humor and a story that should make some Hollywood blockbusters feel ashamed.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    A successful sequel with intense stealth gameplay, believable characters and only minor story deficiencies.
    • 76 Metascore

    The White March improves the game in some areas and offers an interesting story, but it may disappoint veteran players.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Grim Dawn takes the best of a lot of other action RPS and creates well thought out and yet original hack & slay fun.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Tactically demanding genre mix that won't get boring any time soon, despite weaknesses in the story.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It's not just a really good adventure game, it's got something to tell about the innocence of a child and the human trait to ignore inconvenient truths. It's more than just entertainment, it's art.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Rarely has extinction been more fun. Frostpunk shows that successful build-up-strategy and a captivating story need not be a contradiction.
