    The fast-paced action RPG blends Wild West and Dark Fantasy. The game world changes due to your activities. Slight control quirks.

    Chivalry 2 offers a dense atmosphere and gripping medieval battles. The game builds on its traditional strengths and further improves them.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Fantastically playable old-school FPS with great soundtrack and well-emulated retro graphics that even works as a horror game.

    Beautiful theme park manager with a clear focus on the great presentation of dinosaurs. Micro-managing fans get a raw deal, though.

    The colourful action-RPG contains a lot of Disney charm, yet sometimes overshoots its goal.

    I would not say that Code Vein communicates its story better than Dark Souls. But it just tells it refreshingly different and I enjoy experiencing the game mechanics of Dark Souls in a different context.

    Compared to the predecessor it offers better cargo systems and good new transports, but the controls are still flawed.

    Toxic Commando doesn’t quite measure up to Left 4 Dead 2, but it still delivers an entertaining shooter experience featuring hordes of zombies and vehicles.

    This chapter of ESO ist full of Skyrim nostalgia, but suffers from a weak story and a lack of innovations.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    As Dusk Falls is an immersive drama in an atmospheric guise with straightforward gameplay. A wonderful alternative for a movie night.

    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A faithful sequel to the sci-fi slapstick adventure, though it lacks groundbreaking innovations.

    No, The Outer Worlds is by no means the biggest, most complex or epic RPG of recent years. But the latest coup from Obsidian Entertainment has its heart in the right place.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Solid railway game in the style of Ascaron's economic simulations. Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but works well.

    With the addition of the Warlock and some long overdue modernisations, the DLC successfully refreshes this unrivalled classic for the second time.

    In terms of game mechanics, Borderlands 4 is the best installment in the series, but the open world is a bit of a letdown.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Nostalgia can be deceiving, especially when it comes to a 20 year old game. It is all the more astonishing how precisely Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 revives the feeling of yesteryear.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.

    Competent and challenging university management simulation with wacky subjects, chaotic students and a lot to smile about.

    • 83 Critic Score
    Action-packed shooter from 2011 with improved graphics and some new features.
    • 82 Metascore

    Fantastic license adaptation that makes up for minor flaws with creative game mechanics.
    • 86 Metascore

    Due to the fantastic level design Dishonored 2 is one of the best stealth games of the last 15 years. But the story has been neglected.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Even after 21 years, Dawn of War remains one of the best strategy games ever made and would have deserved an even more elaborate remaster.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    In Chapter One we don't puzzle as intensely as in Crimes and Punishment, but we sink into Holmes' world more seamlessly than ever.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A loving interpretation that captures the spirit and charm of days gone perfectly.

    Wrath of the Ancients provides Everspace 2 with a fitting endgame finale for what is arguably the best space action spectacle you can play right now.

    A beautiful and well-executed new edition, Oblivion Remastered remains faithful to the original, both its strengths and its weaknesses.
    • 81 Metascore

    Everspace 2 is a fun looter/shooter RPG with an engaging yet down-to-earth story that will keep you entertained for days.

    Finally there is a varied, fascinating game world, a terrific story and tons of content for solo players and groups.
