    Fascinating adventure using vehicles in a relaxed post-apocalypse setting that entertains well thanks to many ideas.

    The Season add-on enriches the Sims Universe with weather effects, holidays and many seasonal activities.

    Wonderlands delights with incredible humour, comical characters and much content. However, not all of its innovations are compelling.

    Rise of Venice hasn't been built from scratch but compared to Port Royale 3 it comes with added politics, a 3D map and adjustments in all the right spots. It's a classic trading sim where everything works together extremely well and it will keep you busy for weeks.

    Capcom has done an excellent implementation for the PC.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Gigantic open-world game with spectacular battles that is held back by a lack of player guidance and accessibility.

    • 82 Critic Score
    Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is a touching story highlight with beautiful graphics and simple but clever gameplay.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A top-notch collection of all 2D-era milestones of the Street Fighter series, many of which are still very playable today.

    • 82 Critic Score
    The most charming indie hype of recent years is finished. The perfect diversion between the blockbusters.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Assassin's Creed and VR go surprisingly well together, even if the game's main story is rarely captivating.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Driver: San Francisco is such a fast and diverse game that it's very easy to forgive the mediocre predecessor. Only the slightly esoteric story needs some time to get used to.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A modern retro platformer that plays in the same league as the classics.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Max Caulfield's return is a gripping story adventure with a high 'feel-good' factor that stumbles over its own narrative in the finale.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The singleplayer campaign is a failure, but the multiplayer is worth it. Looks great, almost perfect sound and it's fun. The levolution feature improves the atmosphere of the game, but has with little consequences regarding game play.

    Fast RTS with great animated medieval troops clashing and conquering sectors like in Company of Heroes.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Versatile survival game in the Hyborean age with a lot of variety for construction enthusiasts, adventurers and explorers.

    Victoria 3 is a fantastic business simulation game. But unique and unusual as it is, it will not please everyone.

    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Well crafted and challenging construction game, which gets more complex with increasing playing time, but also brings a few quirks with it.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Mechanics like the Dragonguard crossbow are a first step in the right direction, but are altogether too seldom used to be really positive. In the long run, the virtues of the game eventually fade away from the uniformity of the scaffolding - and that's just a shame given many good elements.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Playing cards, throwing dice, swinging pendulums and spanking villains: it's great fun if you can live with the random element of the game.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Diverting mystery adventure with an impressive, historical setting and a strong focus on its multi-layered plot.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The graphics may be from 2011, but the story and the combat system are great. It has everything you can expect from a Final Fantasy title.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Beautiful, hand-drawn puzzle game that enchants the player with elegantly nested puzzles and a story without words.

    • 82 Critic Score
    A well-done revival of Syndicate for real-time strategists with strong nerves. Brains and coordination triumph over fast clicking.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Huge and challenging RPG including a great pawn system. Give this title a chance, despite its average looks.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    It’s a lot of fun and it sounds like that, too. It’s great to race against friends again and again and there’s nothing better out there at the moment, even though it may not be a game to keep on playing in the long term.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Replaced shines with intense 2.5D action and a compelling story, but struggles somewhat with platforming and controls.
