    Mass Effect
    The abundance of details about politics, technology, planets and the different alien races create an unparalleled depth for a role-playing game. The story is captivating right until the impressive and dramatic finale. If it wasn't for the more or less necessary but repetitive side quests, the game would be exceptional. There is room for improvement, but as far as story telling is concerned, Mass Effect wipes the floor with the competition.

    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
    Kojima polarises once again: for some players it's a blockbuster, for others it's a bore.

    Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition
    Forbidden West takes a lot of good decisions and is even better than its predecessor - with the exception being the story.

    FIFA Soccer 12
    Maybe Pro Evolution Soccer is more realistic, but FIFA 12 offers spectacular scenes and goals close to perfection. Every match is quite an experience, so if you prefer drama over realim, get this one.

    Persona 3 Reload
    Persona 3 Reload is a wonderful JRPG with long-lasting entertainment value that only shows its age in the dungeon design.

    DiRT 2
    What a great obituary for Colin McRae. If you ever need to show someone how today’s game can look like, get Dirt 2. It’s a joy for the eyes and it’s a great racing game, full of action, with great presentation and easy to get into. A few more tracks would have been nice, though. But playing over network alone is worth buying the game.

    Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut
    Ghost of Tsushima not only impresses as a beautifully staged samurai open world, but also as an outstanding PC port.

    Stardew Valley
    It's a trip to the countryside with incredibly motivating game mechanics. Once you're there, you won't come back very soon.

    What Remains of Edith Finch
    What Remains of Edith Finch is a heartbreaking collection of short stories, still lingering long after the end of the game.

    DUSK
    Fantastically playable old-school FPS with great soundtrack and well-emulated retro graphics that even works as a horror game.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
    You should know exactly what kind of player you are. If you're like me, Sekiro could be your match of the year for 2019. But you have to be ready to hit your head against the wall in a dead end until the brick wall breaks. Not everyone has such a thick skull. I understand. In that case, you might want to consume Dark Souls as a lighter starter snack. Never thought that I would ever write that.

    LIMBO
    This jump & run is a must-buy for every fan of the genre. Even beginners should take a look because Limbo shows that you don't need DirectX 11 or a huge story - just two colors and a lot of love.

    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
    Same hero, same era, same game mechanics – but surprisingly huge, with well designed missions and a great atmosphere. But you should have played Assassins's Creed 2 to know what's going on.
