That's the way remakes should be. The new edition of Resident Evil 2 transports the horror classic of 1998 with stylish graphics and top technology into the modern age.- GameStar

Street Fighter 4 turns out to be as good as we hoped. If you've never played a Street Fighter game or even one of the other games of the genre, this is your chance to do so. Countless modes and characters promise fun for several months. Similar games will have a hard time trying to be any better.- GameStar

StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is as good as expected, but you'll need to be patient with it. The game takes some time to get going and behind all the upgraded technologies it's still the same StarCraft we've been knowing for 12 years. It's the best real-time strategy game of the last years and while not perfect, StarCraft 2 is a real masterpiece of PC gaming and even better as a multi-player game.- GameStar

Empire: Total War still has some teething problems, but the latest installment of the Total War series is its best one nonetheless. The game takes place in the 18th century with eleven playable countries. As usual, you govern you country and move your armies on the strategy map, while battles are fought in real-time, including sea battles. If you like strategy games, you need to play Empire: Total War.- GameStar

Incredibly entertaining and thought-out trading card game down to the last detail, which still lacks scope and Marvel atmosphere. [Early Access Score = 75]- GameStar

The game hardly develops original concepts and fails to implement the more complex structures seen in its role models. There is just no reason to choose Star Dynasties over Crusader Kings 3 or Stellaris.- GameStar

The approach of combining the gameplay of Factorio with action- and roguelike elements is very interesting in theory. However, its implementation currently leaves too many wishes unfulfilled, especially in regard to the far too simplistic combat system. [Early Access]- GameStar

Who would have thought that an Early Access game these days would come onto the market in a more complete state than some of the triple-A blockbusters. Bugs and glitches are negligible and are fixed remarkably prompt. Myth of Empires is an exciting project, which, especially at its full release, could shake up the genre. [Early Access]- GameStar
