    A well rounded mix of construction strategy, survival, worker placement and roguelite. Gloomy, without fights, sometimes hectic, always exciting.

    Bombastic battles, huge campaign, thrilling multiplayer. A triumphant comeback for Dawn of War.

    Forgotten Gods is a very good addon to an equally good Hack & Slay with that certain something, but nothing more. After all, who - like me - only wants to play through once, comes here still at his expense.

    A clever mix between management, strategy, action and exploration. It’s not only very relaxing, but also has some heartwarming moments.

    Sokoban meets programming language logic – probably the best puzzle game 2019.

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

    Those who appreciate emotionally gripping sci-fi stories and moral decisions should definitely give The Alters a chance.

    The directional blocking, the new fighting styles and combos, the improvement of the drone abilities and a still highly motivating looting system have inspired and motivated me.

    I am very satisfied with the package that is the Definitive Edition. Especially since the price of around 20 euros is really fair.

    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 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.

    The LS25 is a content powerhouse with technical improvements. But buyers of its predecessor may be disappointed.

    The abundance of details about politics, technology, planets and the different alien races create an unparalleled depth for a role-playing game. The story is captivating right until the impressive and dramatic finale. If it wasn't for the more or less necessary but repetitive side quests, the game would be exceptional. There is room for improvement, but as far as story telling is concerned, Mass Effect wipes the floor with the competition.

    Tomb Raider: Underworld is a source of joy as long as everything works as intended and Lara follows the controls, leading the player to beautiful panoramas, seamlessly moving from gameplay to cut-scene. But at the same time, the game can be quite depressing if Lara doesn't reach moving platforms, the camera plays up and it's hard to solve a problem. It's an emotional roller coaster and great entertainment.

    The GTA-clone has his strong points in lots of action and the thrilling setting of occupied Paris during WW2. Amazingly, a GTA-clone can be a great game, too, and if you like a hero fighting Nazis, then this is your game.

    It's still not the most realistic simulation and all those little improvements can't change that. But it's still a lot of fun due to its sheer size and huge amount of details.

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

    It offers a lot of different play styles. Let's play in arcade mode or with more realism with g-forces and limited ammunition - or let's play in a more complex simulation mode.

    Ghostrunner really grabbed me for two reasons: On the one hand, thanks to the ingeniously playful level design, I feel like a child on the adventure playground again. And on the other hand, Ghostrunner lets me feel that there is no need for superpowers to gamble through, if you just really dig into the mechanics and levels.

    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.

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