    Creative tribute to text adventures and an in many ways surprising storytelling experiment with a well-done 80s-like scary atmosphere.

    Planet Zoo has instantly awakened memories of carefree childhood.

    Exo One delights with innovation and an immersive atmosphere - if you let it.

    Currently the best Formula 1 racing game thanks to an entertaining story and a greatly expanded My Team career.

    Age of Empires 4 brings classic real-time strategy back in top form, but misses the chance for a rousing campaign.

    Sure, there are a few quirks, but Mirror's Edge is a well designed and well presented elaborate game. And it's fun, too. It's plays a bit like Tomb Raider, just faster and without ruins. Not a perfect game, but perfectly designed and it stands out from the mass of uniform games like a white skyscraper.

    Crazy robot tactics game with clever ideas and very fair mission design.

    Trackmania 2 builds on the strengths of the predecessors and offers even more fun, experimentation, races decided by milliseconds and a powerful track editor. There's fun for months in it.

    • 83 Critic Score
    A motivating manager game that offers a lot of fun despite the missing Formula 1 license and invigorates the genre.

    With the return to World War 2, Battlefield reaches a new zenith thanks to meaningful innovations - if one disregards the single player.

    Because the core of My Friend Pedro is its aestheticized, cartoony action, complemented by amazingly well integrated into the game design puzzles and a wonderfully trashy story - and thus the banana ballet hits me completely on the bullseye.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A surprisingly complex RPG that combines an exciting story with wicked humor.

    On the pitch, it's a real improvement of the usual strong FIFA package. Off the pitch, however, the innovations are missing.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Dynamic real-time battles with many useful improvements and a turn-based Italian campaign à la Total War Light.

    Stellar Blade likes to exaggerate at times, but is essentially a sophisticated action game with stylish battles and a touching story.

    The journey of the two siblings is an intense experience that resonates for a long while.
    • 81 Metascore

    If you like sea battles, you shouldn't miss World of Warships even though it lacks a bit of variety and realism.

    Quotation forthcoming.

    Death of the Outsider doesn't offer a better story than Dishonored 2, but more freedom in terms of gameplay creates better entertainment.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The most beautiful nightmare of the year, which masks a mediocre game concept with stunning graphics and unparalleled sound design.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Co-op mode, RPG elements, items and level ups - this game almost has it all. Almost, because team work isn't really encouraged. But it's still fun for weeks for a low price.

    For me, it's still not the best Trine, but rather a kind of dignified Déjà vu, a mission CD (who knows that yet?) To earlier parts, a nice reunion without surprises. As meaningful as it may be, the step back in this case also means that you end up back where you were eight years ago.

    Sifu is one of the best martial arts games ever, though getting to the fun part is (somewhat unnecessarily) tedious.

    And the mod-tweaking of my science fiction troops and commanders brings additional depth.

    It was good as a beta, now at release it's very good. All that's missing are more game modes.

    Lost Ark is a good MMO with tons of content, alas unnecessarily complicated and repetitive endgame mechanics.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A game like a comic book, driven by its snarky story. Gameplay suffers from weak gunplay and repetition, though.

    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A stylish action adventure with stunning graphics and exciting fights that sometimes gets too carried away with details.

    The time for original concepts and new genres is not over yet. Defense Grid: The Awakening is a highly motivating game, it's not easy, but not unfair and there are always new elements added to the game. There's no story and the controls are not perfect, but the game can still glue you to your chair for days.
