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.

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

The first add-on to Dragon Age: Origins continues the story and adds new areas, monsters, quests and skills. It may be a bit short, but it’s a great adventure.

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

Charming and colourful pixel action-adventure with a lot of heart, solid combat and puzzle dungeons, yet apparent deficiencies in the narrative pace.

A successful sequel with intense stealth gameplay, believable characters and only minor story deficiencies.

Where Origins and especially Odyssey still had a clear mission towards roleplaying, Valhalla seems like a half-hearted step backwards. Yes, there is now real action again, and deadly sneaking. Yes, in its best moments Valhalla has exactly what I want from an Assassin's Creed. But instead of focusing on the highlights, Ubisoft buries the strengths of the game under boring open world stuff.

It's half-time for Tales of Monkey Island. The third of five episodes is good entertainment, but the puzzles are getting worse. Most of the fun comes from comical situations and the weird characters, not from the game itself. Instead of getting harder, it gets easier.

Of all the current space strategy games Sins of a Solar Empire is my favorite.

It looks like a chartered accountant but it's a real revolutionary, because it starts the online age for manager games. You're not managing an existing club, but one you create from scratch. Then you choose an association that fits your style of play, e.g. the Casual Weekend Association. The games are shown on 2D maps, so all you see is few circles running after the ball. Despite the meager presentation FM Live manages to be an entertaining game, even if you only play a few minutes a day.

Quotation forthcoming.
