    Hearthstone wants to be a fast paced and entertaining card game for beginners and experts alike - and it achieves this goal with flying colors.

    FEAR 2 doesn't manage to cause panic like its predecessor because Monolith uses the same well-known techniques again. But it's still fun to follow Alma. This time, it's more uncertainty than fear that keeps you playing.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Looks and plays great, but the career mode lacks lot of elements from earlier games.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Great tactical depth and varied turn based combat in a dark SciFi setting. Interesting scenario, but disappointing story line.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Innovative detective role-playing game in a highly interesting world in which your decisions have far-reaching consequences.

    Once you've turned off your PC for ten minutes you'll want to go back and play some more, just one more level. If you like Tower Defense games, it's a clear must-buy.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A convincing reboot of the popular Thief series in virtual reality with exemplary immersion and clever microphone use.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    if you aren't interested in animals and pets, this is not for you. But if you do, this is the perfect add-on with endless possibilities.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Technically clean PC port of Yakuza history with many configuration options, well suited for newcomers.

    Despite a thin story, Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card scores with improved sneak passages and lots of atmosphere.
    • 72 Metascore

    Layers of Fear is a great experience, recommended for everyone who doesn't need monsters in a horror game.
    • 83 Metascore

    Quotation forthcoming.

    Banishers is an insider tip for fans of great stories full of tough decisions who can overlook gameplay weaknesses.
    • 72 Metascore

    Indirect controls, random battles, no diplomacy – can this be fun? Yes. Lots of upgrades, exploring the map and the colorful fantasy setting will get you hooked right from the start, including the just-one-more-mission effect. A real insider tip.

    Devil May Cry 4 may not be a very subtle game, but it sure is a lot of fun. Ripping whole armies of demons to shreds at breathtaking speed or watching a mighty end boss giving kudos to you in "over the top" cut scenes - things like these create that special feeling of power. There are some weak spots like (levels are re-used, a few annoying mini games and riddles), but action fans should give it a go anyway.

    I am really looking forward to the next mission, the next dialog, the next puzzle. As in a solo role-playing game flat. And this is not an error but a boon.

    Even 14 years after the original, it's still a very unusual 3D platformer with lots of clever ideas and a wacky design.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Victor Vran offers motivating and dynamic battles and it's twice the fun in co-op mode.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A really nice feel-good game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Creepy disturbing family drama with feature length and escape-room-flair. Shallow gameplay but intense - especially in VR.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    An entertaining game, but no revolution of the adventure genre and quite similar to the first game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Brilliant co-op hit with first-class gunplay, yet Helldivers 2 still needs a few more patches.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It looks like a twin to the first installment, but offers new gameplay elements and a lot of fun. Having to repeat the main quest in every new game is a bit annoying, though.

    The content of Empires & Ashes is really good, but it's just not what Age of Wonders 4 needs.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Mordhau is for me almost something like Asterix for adults.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The combination of action and tower defense seems exotic at first glance, but quickly manages to hook you. However, there are limitations to the combat system.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It's not polished and sometimes slow-moving, but full of cool sci-fi stories once you get into it.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The story may be a bit thin, but as far as gameplay is concerned, Hitman is an assassin's dream come true.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    In Terra Nil you spend time demolishing your buildings - for the sake of nature.
