    It’s the best game covering the Napoleonic Wars, but not necessarily the best game of the Total War series. But the multi-player mode finally makes an old dream come true. But it’s still a shame that Empire: Total War did not get any of the improvements.

    Whacking Hobbits, looting houses, causing havok - being evil can be fun, sure. But who'd expect that being evil can even cause tears of laughter?

    It offers a fascinating world to explore, but the gameplay isn't very challenging.

    • 75 Critic Score
    A largely captivating, bizarre and pretty adventure. The great finale disappoints in many ways, though.

    Masterfully crafted industrialization utopia offering high complexity and enormous freedom for players.

    Darkest Dungeon 2 does its own demanding rogue-lite thing. You can love it or hate it just as much as its predecessor.

    Although Chuchel is short and hardly demanding, it still works because of the clever puzzles, the humor and the lovely graphic style.

    • 86 Critic Score
    Even better than its predecessor: this remake is on its way to the high score.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Broken Steel raises the maximum level to 30, adds 14 new special talents and allows you to explore the world even after finishing the game. That’s all good, but it’s probably coming out too late for most Fallout gamers.

    Hidden behind nasty menus and a rocky start you'll find superb gunplay and fantastic world-building in true Bungie style.

    • 88 Critic Score
    Apart from a few minor annoying issues with AI and Interface, the game is absolutely right for me and is exactly the Borderlands comeback I've been wanting for years.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A delightful 3D variant of RimWorld with some fresh ideas, but it needs more variety in combat and everyday life.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Huge and challenging RPG including a great pawn system. Give this title a chance, despite its average looks.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Mouse is a motivating single-player shooter that breaks new ground in terms of visuals and sound.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Even more funky levels, ingredients and characters: Overcooked 2 will please anyone and should not be missed at any co-op party.

    Blood Dragon is art.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Enchanting and motivating JRPG with a varied genre mix and a inspiring fantasy world.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Visually impressive dieselpunk Metroidvania with stimulating combat, challenging bosses and a varied level design.

    • 86 Critic Score
    Great, relaxing sandbox game with no serious weaknesses that is just as complex as it needs to be. Now also with multiplayer.

    • 82 Critic Score
    Hopefully the game grows as well as Civilization 5 with future patches and add-ons for the game that satisfy my inner Jean-Luc Picard.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    On the pitch, Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is the undisputed king, but all around it there's far too much standstill.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    First-class sequel with dramatic turn-based tactical battles, a well thought-out strategy section and the same cool mercenaries from the old days.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    That Halo: Reach for PC is a must-have for fans, I do not have to tell you here again.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Ferocious turn-based strategy game with incredible Warhammer flair, encouraging upgrades, diverting segments and a few balancing flaws.

    • 81 Critic Score
    Wasteland 2 is like a granny. A bit shaky, and you have to understand that she comes from a different generation - but lovable and sometimes blessed with impressive age wisdom.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Rarely before has it been so hard for me in my game tester career, not to award a 90s rating.

    • 84 Critic Score
    Infinity Ward has thrown overboard ballast that has been dangling into Call of Duty in recent years and at the same time manages to bring back the fascination and feel of the first Modern Warfare parts.

    • 85 Critic Score
    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.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    It can be fun, even addictive, but the overly complicated controls and bugs prevent it from being a great game. Wait for patches.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A wonderfully unusual experience with spectacular art design, but practically no gameplay.
