    Prey
    I just like them, these "Great scenery with lots of freedom and story-snippets" games. Whether underwater ideology as in Bioshock, transhumanist dystopia like in Deus Ex or magic steampunk as in Dishonored - as long as I am allowed to explore and experiment, I am happy. Prey satisfies both needs perfectly.

    Resident Evil HD Remaster
    It may have some old fashioned charm, but its age clearly shows. Controls and game design are out of date.

    Loop Hero
    Refreshingly simple and original genre mix. Impresses with its scope, accessibility and an immensely captivating gameplay loop.

    Citizen Sleeper
    Citizen Sleeper is a cyberpunk gem that tells an extraordinary, profound story and makes you think.

    Metro: Last Light
    A successful successor, which will satisfy all fans of the predecessor.

    Rising Storm

    Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2
    It's fun, beginner-friendly and thanks to the addictive level-up mechanics it offers lots of replay value, too.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2015
    As far as gameplay is concerned it's a huge step forward - and a step back for AI and graphics.

    Broken Age: Act 1
    When does this game start in earnest? The puzzles are so easy and the story so superficial that it feels like an intro to a game - until die credits roll. It's fun, but lacking substance.

    WildStar
    If you like classic online RPGs, battles full of action and weird humor, you can't go wrong with this one.

    Wreckfest
    If you liked FlatOut, you'll love Wreckfest. Drily presented, but wonderfully brutal full-contact racing with impressive physics.

    Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores
    Burning Shores has a beautiful map and some fun new features. However, the DLC suffers from a goofy villain.

    Victoria 3
    Victoria 3 is a fantastic business simulation game. But unique and unusual as it is, it will not please everyone.

    World of Warcraft Classic
    Classic looks like "Friends" to me: Although I have seen all the episodes x times, every few years I have to go back to Central Perk!

    Starbound
    Starbound offers a lot of freedom, diversity and a love for details. An amazingly good game if you love 2D pixel worlds.

    Battlefield 4
    The singleplayer campaign is a failure, but the multiplayer is worth it. Looks great, almost perfect sound and it's fun. The levolution feature improves the atmosphere of the game, but has with little consequences regarding game play.

    Torment: Tides of Numenera
    Tides of Numenera requires the will to familiarize oneself with the game, and a passion for reading, but rewards the player with one of the best stories in role-playing games.

    eFootball PES 2020
    It is a pity that these great mechanics are not underpinned by better modes.

    The Sims 3: World Adventures
    The first Sims had a holiday add-on, the second Sims had a holiday add-on and now Sims 3 has one, too, and it’s the best one so far. The touch of adventure works miracles for Sims 3, but the stories are goofy and some missions boring. It’s still great, because it’s full of new things to explore.

    Jurassic World Evolution 3
    A great park-building game that makes up for minor flaws with lots of atmosphere. And baby dinosaurs!

    Shadowrun: Hong Kong
    Story, characters and dialogues make it a thrilling game, despite the stagnant game mechanics.

    War Thunder
    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.

    Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons
    Not as groundbreaking as Path of Fire, but a must-have expansion for fans of both the old and the new Guild Wars.

    Sunless Sea
    Sunless Sea is special, though it is not for everyone. That's okay.

    The Sims 4: Seasons
    The Season add-on enriches the Sims Universe with weather effects, holidays and many seasonal activities.

    The Sims 4: Discover University
    The robotic construction has really scared me off, because crafting combined with the constant electric shock is a nasty time eater - although the servos really have a lot of charm!

    Granblue Fantasy: Relink
    Impressively staged action JRPG with fun battles. Story purists will have to make concessions, but endgame and co-op mode are convincing.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Wolfenstein: The New Order
    The best Wolfenstein so far. Interesting places, remarkable characters, drama, humor and a story that should make some Hollywood blockbusters feel ashamed.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Life is Strange: True Colors
    An extraordinary narrative adventure game that will stay in your memory for a long time, but it would have benefited from more interactivity.
