    Here it is again, that good old Heroes feeling including the forget-about-time-syndrome and the just-one-more-level-excuses. We could write a lot more, but there's just that one battle to fight.

    Midnight offers more content than its predecessor and features many improved systems. However, it lacks that final touch of ambition and polish.

    Anno 1800: Tourist Season offers an even more varied endgame for the city-builder masterpiece. It is therefore particularly worthwhile for Anno experts.

    Great remaster of a real action classic. The timeless gameplay mechanics still work in 2016.

    Kirby's 3D debut is a wonderful adventure on the Switch 2 as well, but the DLC could have used some fresh ideas.

    It’s like Mario Kart for adults and the best multi-player racing game so far. It’s easy to forget how long you are already playing and there’s enough fun in this game to last for months.

    Even eight years after release for consoles this is still a great action-rich spectacle which no fan of pc fighting games should miss.

    Stellar Blade likes to exaggerate at times, but is essentially a sophisticated action game with stylish battles and a touching story.

    Fallout's jolly little brother has grown up. The Outer Worlds 2 impresses with a unique sense of humor and great freedom for players, but falters in the final act.

    Whatever The Beginner's Guide is supposed to be: it's well done and everything we could say about it would be a spoiler.

    A well-made remake to delight both veterans and newcomers, however, it remains overshadowed by its predecessor.

    The PC port of Final Fantasy 15 is a monster regarding scope, but the gameplay isn't on par with older series milestones.

    The game experience is too intense, it really feels like sitting in a real racing car. Due to the high difficulty Shift 2 should be avoided by beginners or casual racers. Everybody else can enjoy a huge and diverse racing game.

    The tactical elements go along really well with the action-heavy component of the game and with the large number of weapons and traps, it will not get boring.

    Highly motivating dungeon crawler with great pixel graphics, the mixture of loot and shop management is persuasive.

    The Machine Age puts Stellaris back on track and takes the machines to a whole new level. An all-round successful DLC.

    A quite brutal dark fantasy RPG that forces you to rethink, lets heroes die and thus creates a very intensive experience.

    Well-designed role-playing game with strategy elements in an exciting dark fantasy setting.

    FIFA 10 offers a few small improvements like new tactical options, but compared to Pro Evolution Soccer 6 it looks very dated. All in all, it's not enough to improve the rating compared to FIFA 09 and the series really needs a graphical update.

    Huge atmospheric open world racing game which lacks really good multiplayer ideas. In combination with the main game it's superior to similar games like Need for Speed.

    Classic JRPG with well-proven concepts that tells its story from the heart and shines as Definitive Edition with new content.

    It may be due to the charming look and the likeable DIY approach of the hobby astronauts of Holzkamin, but Outer Wilds reminds me in the best sense (probably idealized) childhood experiences: the feeling of discovering something new at a ramble, finally on the top of the tallest tree Climbing in the woods or just getting to know something new that enhances your own horizons - I have that feeling in every corner of Outer Wilds.

    Running around, shooting, the car races and graphics are all ok, partially great. But the story is thin, some design decisions are weird (weapons that can't be picked up) and it's all pretty much the same all the time.
