    Sulani is definitely the most beautiful neighborhood in the game so far.

    Enter the Gungeon offers fresh and always fair pixel action and will be a thrill especially for Isaac fans.

    Rainbow Six Extraction offers an atmospheric co-op experience with clever gameplay mechanics that make up for its minor flaws.

    An atmospheric yet simply designed 2D adventure that combines standard features with engaging sensory puzzles.

    Are you good or evil? Or both? And should you buy this game? It may not be as good as Mass Effect 2, but it’s still a lot of fun to follow Mike through his adventures, despite some out of date graphics and the dumb AI, because as a role playing game, it just works fine.

    Pragmata is a heartwarming sci-fi shooter that dares to try something brand new and hits right on target.

    Groovy, sarcastic and pleasantly crazy. Icey is basically an action-filled spiritual successor to The Stanley Parade.

    Fast and easy to grasp RTS which has a lot to offer for Halo fans and PC strategists alike.
    • 81 Metascore

    A motivating manager game that offers a lot of fun despite the missing Formula 1 license and invigorates the genre.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Ingenious fights, well-done missions and the motivating class system make up for the somewhat shallow game mechanics.

    A great comeback for the Lego series with a great love for details and lots of comedy. But it's too easy for seasoned gamers and therefore targeted at a younger audience.

    We don't know how many houses, blockades and towers we've destroyed while playing the game, but it never got boring. If the game had a much better story, it would have been a huge hit. But it's still a very good game.

    Void Shadows is the best reason to start a new game and scores with story, variety and improvements.
    • 78 Metascore

    Fabulous, but very short VR adventure with innovative puzzle mechanics, great synchronization and an unique atmosphere.

    The first DLC for Borderlands 3 boasts a lot of gags and crazy characters. Nothing new in the gameplay department, though.

    It may not look as nice as Crysis 2, but at least there's a hero to identify with with an interesting story. If you like action without the usual war scenarios, get to Mars.

    The Reforged Edition of Broken Sword gives the classic story a substantial visual makeover, but leaves the rest untouched.

    Sequels showing up after less than a year while not showing FIFA in their name usually are a reason for concern. And, for sure, there are only a handful of improvements in this sequel. But each of them makes sense. The dragon is funnier and can do more compared to the spirits of fury, successes have real consequences and shorter ways give the game a new kind of flow.

    It's not a perfect game, but the surprise of the year: A lot of great gameplay, lots of fresh ideas and a lot of fun. You may like some things more than others, but where else can you annoy a dragon again and again by shouting the name of his nemesis?

    Yes, Rogue hardly differs from Black Flag, but it's just right.

    Anyone who works their way through and does not expect too much eye-candy will be rewarded with a complex football manager that will keep you motivated for months.

    Spellforce also delivers in its new genre and offers sophisticated and challenging 4X turn-based strategy.

    Sudden Strike 4 is one of these strategy games where victory and defeat are so damn close together.
    • 76 Metascore

    Master X Master is a colorful mix of fun game modes that should thrill both PvE and PvP fans.

    Zelda's great adventure is packed with beautiful stories. A highlight for every Switch collection! However, we have to lower our score because of technical issues: the heavily fluctuating frame rate, especially in docked mode, spoils the fun.

    Worthwhile improvements and additional content - CD Projekt has put great effort into The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. With new animations, new voices, better combat, better controls and two new side quests the game is finally the great adventure the first version should have been. Buyers of the original game can download the additional content free of charge.

    The mixture of Skyrim and a dark version of the Arthurian legend gets the essentials right. Even the outdated graphics are hardly a problem.
