Developer Respawn builds a Star Wars adventure that constantly reminds me why I fell in love with the Skywalker saga as a child. Fallen Order is a love letter to the classic trilogy, respects the clone wars, and shows me the dark era of the Empire like no other Star Wars story before.- GameStar

At its core, this is a fantastic port oft he Alien franchise into gaming. However, the almost too-strong Alien can be frustrating at times.- GameStar

The Witcher could have been a much better roleplaying game if it wasn't for it's long loading times, unnecessary traveling, uncomfortable handling and bugs.- GameStar

Mechanics like the Dragonguard crossbow are a first step in the right direction, but are altogether too seldom used to be really positive. In the long run, the virtues of the game eventually fade away from the uniformity of the scaffolding - and that's just a shame given many good elements.- GameStar

Short, firm soul-like that keeps you entertained for 20 hours. Learning curve and replay value are low.- GameStar

Overlord delivers the usual good quality. However, the vassal mechanics in particular will not be equally relevant to everyone.- GameStar

The exciting story mode, the motivating F1 world and considerably improved handling make F1 23 an exceptional racing game.- GameStar

In terms of game mechanics, Borderlands 4 is the best installment in the series, but the open world is a bit of a letdown.- GameStar

Ghostrunner really grabbed me for two reasons: On the one hand, thanks to the ingeniously playful level design, I feel like a child on the adventure playground again. And on the other hand, Ghostrunner lets me feel that there is no need for superpowers to gamble through, if you just really dig into the mechanics and levels.- GameStar

Everspace 2 is a fun looter/shooter RPG with an engaging yet down-to-earth story that will keep you entertained for days.- GameStar

Star Wars Outlaws doesn't excel in any particular area, but it's still an unforgettable open-world story.- GameStar

F1 22 delights with new cars and a perfect Formula 1 atmosphere, but the driveability could use some fine-tuning.- GameStar

If you were hoping that Tales of Monkey Island would at least end in some kind of fireworks of ideas, you will be disappointed. Dull and without creativity, this is how Telltale ends the series. It's well meant, but disappointing. It's not bad, but just not enough for Monkey Island.- GameStar

Darksiders 2 is larger, more varied and more motivating than the first game, and all game elements - be it story, battle, puzzle or skill pad - engage almost perfectly. I would have preferred a slightly more modern technology backbone and more fine-tuned mouse and keyboard controls. But these are small things that I forgive in such a captivating game as this.- GameStar

It's rare to find a game that deals with topics like depression in such a mature way. If you want to experience an experimental artistic adventure, you're in for a journey you won't easily forget.- GameStar

Great content, but also a technically obsolete VR version, with half-hearted and annoying conversion problems in many places.- GameStar

Despite the courageous setting choices and high standards, Hunt: Showdown is an exceptional shooter that occupies its own small niche in times of dwindling Battle Royale hype with innovative ideas and perfection of balanced gameplay.- GameStar

Vessel annoyed me at first with the more sub-optimal control, but the more I've played, the more fun but I had it.- GameStar

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.- GameStar

The battles feel like the ones from Darksiders, the dialogues remind of Bioware titles, and the world wants to be as big and multifarious as Skyrim. Reckoning gets this mixture just about right, but misses its evident types in any discipline. I had fun anyway, which is mainly due to the cool talent system and the fascinating tale. Whoever lets oneself into it, receives a successful action-role-playing game that has found its place exactly between linear story-nuggets (Dragon Age) and open-world adventures (Skyrim).- GameStar

Sam & Max behind bars! That’s how the third season starts and it’s a great start, too. Lots of comedy, running gags, the return of beloved characters and new ideas - but still a bit too easy.- GameStar

Gearbox mixed a first person shooter with a role playing game and slightly missed the mark. After 20 levels you've basically seen everything, the story is very thin and still you keep playing to collect more items. The setting and the good graphics deserved more than that.- GameStar

Defense Grid 2 is not a revolutionary sequel, it plays more like a subtly refined version of the first part. The successor to one of the best tower defense games is no revolution but still in the first class of the genre.- GameStar
