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.- GameStar

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?- GameStar

A largely captivating, bizarre and pretty adventure. The great finale disappoints in many ways, though.- GameStar

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

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

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.- GameStar

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

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.- GameStar

A delightful 3D variant of RimWorld with some fresh ideas, but it needs more variety in combat and everyday life.- GameStar

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.- GameStar

On the pitch, Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is the undisputed king, but all around it there's far too much standstill.- GameStar

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.- GameStar

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.- GameStar

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.- GameStar

It can be fun, even addictive, but the overly complicated controls and bugs prevent it from being a great game. Wait for patches.- GameStar
