    An extremely tough Soulslike in the tradition of Bloodborne that borrows a lot but shines through creative weapon variety and challenge.

    It's a technically meager but very extensive wrestling simulation, showing the fascination of entertainment sports in great detail.

    Very complex, slightly outdated turn based strategy game with five very long, exclusively German campaigns featuring over 1.000 different troops.

    Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 may vex even gamers with nerves of steel from time to time, but it's still a good game with an excellent multi-player mode.

    Well-made but somewhat dry space sandbox for future rocket engineers.

    This game shows how beautiful two-dimensional games can be. Physics, graphics and music all have been created with affection. Trine could have been a bit more challenging and funny, but if you liked World of Goo, this is a game for you.

    Turbine adds Mirkwood to the game and with it came a lot of things to do for veterans. There are thrilling situations, cool instances and motivation until the end, so boring collect and destroy quests can be forgiven.

    If you don't know the original game from 1994, you should play at the easiest level to understand the complex economy. There are three other nations competing with you to colonize the New World, the native Indians and, last but not least, the King of your nation in the Old World. The Independence War is one of the most entertaining ways to end a campaign ever seen in this genre. The game may not be perfect, but it's a motivating and challenging strategy game.

    Astonishing action journey through a gorgeous universe with daring flight manoeuvres, cool space battles and an intriguing heroine.

    The Forza Horizon DLC Rally Adventure delivers entertaining drifting action and excellent tracks but is only a short-lived delight.

    Turn-based strategy with a motivating management mode and an exciting campaign for Mech fans who like to adjust their units in detail.

    The size of the world is stunning and it's a good racing game, but the controls and the little bit disappointing multiplayer mode are the reasons it's not a great game.

    Battle system, diversity, soundtrack, graphics, size... all on a very high level. Bastion shows that small development teams with a small budget can deliver large, diverse and polished ganmes.

    It's more than just an XCOM clone. Hard West is Wild West mystery with tactics, depth and death. It only fails with regard to long-term motivation.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    An artistic game that elegantly plays with the possibilities of the narrative genre and captivates with its storytelling.

    Need for Speed finally finds its way back on track and is especially worthwhile for solo racers who enjoy a well thought-out campaign.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A dialogue-heavy adventure with a moving story, lots of written text, discoveries and secrets and mini-games.
    • 77 Metascore

    The well-done, sarcastic style and Ellen McLain as teh original voice complete the overall package well.

    Planet Coaster 2 is a paradise for creative players and hell for demanding simulation fans.

    The best soccer game in a long time is not EA FC or Football Manager. Inazuma Eleven is a monster of a game and the most fun virtual ball game of the year – penguins included.

    It may be a simple game, but who cares- The low difficulty makes it possible to enjoy the fairy tale world where you can be a benevolent hero and king – or just the opposite.

    Bloodline Champions hits the sweet spot: no unnecessary stuff, but unique and well balanced heros in a great player-vs-player environment. And it's free, too.

    A gorgeous remaster of an unmatched masterpiece, but in terms of gameplay additions, it offers only the bare necessities.

    Fast and thrilling matches, precise controles - Rocket League is a multiplayer heavyweight. Server problems are testing your patience though.

    King's Bounty: The Legend is a mixture between RPG and strategy game. Battles are fought turn-based, but travelling takes place in real time, which enables some interesting tactical moves. The Quest are diverse and well done. The first fantasy-strategy game from Russian developer Katauri is already very close to Heroes of Might & Magic.

    Songs of Conquest revives the spirit of Heroes of Might an Magic 3 and strikes a really good figure.

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