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.
