    Old World gets better with every patch and DLC. The new religion addon is no exception. Worth it!

    It's better than Dark Souls 2, weaker than the first one: it's a good completion to the trilogy, but it doesn't create new milestones.

    It does not forget the madness of war.

    Goodbye Settlers, welcome Pioneers: Finally, a game as bustling as Settlers 1 & 2, but cleverly expanded and modernized.

    The addon is huge and offers new factions, units and special abilities. It's hard to understand why there are dozens of new units, but only a few of them are actually playable. But the missions are fun to play, even though the campaign is too short and lasts only for about eight hours. As far as multi-player is concerned, Kane's Wrath does everything right.

    LEGO Horizon Adventures has less depth than the original, but makes up for it with humor and a creative blockbuster world.

    Accessible Action-RPG with complex character development, sophisticated endgame and motivating item spiral, but meagre story.

    Cloudpunk brings a dystopia full of humour and human abysses to life. Cyberpunk fans will be pleased.

    Ubisoft's challange to GTA has succeeded and shows great potential. But the writers should have shown more courage to be different and remarkable.

    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 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.

    Passing, scoring opportunities, tactical depth – PES 2017 is a soccer masterpiece. The PC version suffers from very outdated graphics.

    Great graphics, breathtaking stunts and fantastic driving feel - Pure is the surprise hit of the year as far as racing games are concerned. It's a perfect blend of fun and action and looks fantastic. It's possible to create more than 60.000 different Quads out of components, so no Quad looks like the other in multiplayer games. There is no story at all, but it's the perfect casual game once you're done with the short career mode.

    Lots of atmosphere and humor, lots of adventure. This add-on has everything: a nice, large and open world, partially absurd quests and interesting characters.

    If you can ignore the still not perfect controls on PC then Dark Souls 2 is a great game for hardcore gamers that can endure some suffering. They will scream in front of the screen - out of joy and out of frustration.

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

    The game punishes every error, has a steep learning curve and is not made for beginners, but at the same time it's extremly motivating. Once you're into the game, you won't be able to stop playing for hours.

    Exciting medieval battles with few but specialized heroes in a varied solo campaign, no base building.
