A well done remastered version of a still fantastic RPG milestone. Small problems like the cumbersome inventory are still there, but that doesn't change the fact that everybody should get to know this game.- GameStar

Compared to the already great predecessor Chaos on Deponia is even more complex, exciting, diverse and even funnier. It's perfect for Monkey Island fans, duckbills haters and Monty Phython disciples who like those subtle tones in dialogues and stories that will make adult gamers roar with laughter.- GameStar

Once again Codemasters delivers a great racing game, a worthy sequel and a sensible expansion of the game. Just the rain and snow races alone are reason enough to buy the game.- GameStar

If you haven't played this game when it first came out a long time ago , you should go and buy it right now. And if you have, you should go and buy it right now. It's the best adventure game of all time, period.- GameStar

My conclusion after eleven hours: Bioshock Infinite is one of the best games I've ever been able to experience. My conclusion after twelve hours: What the hell? Whoever calls the finale "unusual" could denote the Atlantic Ocean as a "wet". Infinite makes me simultaneously gobsmacked, amazed and very pleased - and even after two weeks, I cannot tell you exactly which emotion prevails.- GameStar

A step in the right direction: more realism and challange. The missing official licenses and wrong squads and the sometimes buggy AI are the only downsides.- GameStar

The series has sold 100 million copies and this version should add another 100 million, because everything has been done right. If you liked The Sims, you will love this new version with all its love for details. It's a real masterpiece.- GameStar

No character classes, no terrorists, no Second World-War, no AK-47 and no rewards. Do we want to play that? Oh yes! Once you launch the game and join a match, you simply can't stop playing.- GameStar

Sam Fisher is back. Conviction is faster, harder and offers more action than the predecessors, but it’s still a Splinter Cell game at heart. And for the first time, Sam Fisher is a real human character.- GameStar

Incredibly entertaining and thought-out trading card game down to the last detail, which still lacks scope and Marvel atmosphere. [Early Access Score = 75]- GameStar

The game hardly develops original concepts and fails to implement the more complex structures seen in its role models. There is just no reason to choose Star Dynasties over Crusader Kings 3 or Stellaris.- GameStar

The approach of combining the gameplay of Factorio with action- and roguelike elements is very interesting in theory. However, its implementation currently leaves too many wishes unfulfilled, especially in regard to the far too simplistic combat system. [Early Access]- GameStar

Who would have thought that an Early Access game these days would come onto the market in a more complete state than some of the triple-A blockbusters. Bugs and glitches are negligible and are fixed remarkably prompt. Myth of Empires is an exciting project, which, especially at its full release, could shake up the genre. [Early Access]- GameStar
