    Assassin's Creed and VR go surprisingly well together, even if the game's main story is rarely captivating.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    An atmospheric sci-fi adventure that suffers massively from questionable design decisions.

    Ace Combat 7 is a thrilling game due to its varied missions, but the story can't repeat the magic of older titles of the series.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Atmospheric adaptation of the story as interactive visual novel. Overall a bit too lengthy and static with little gameplay variety.

    The quality of the Rainbox Six-series has reached an all-time low. The AI opponents don't take cover properly and then don't even realize when they are hit. The story doesn't seem to be connected to Rainbow Six: Vegas and some scenes in the game are simply absurd. It feels like Vegas 2 was made out of bits and pieces that didn't make it through quality control when the predecessor was made. Great controls and game mechanics can't save the game from being mediocre.

    Guardians of the Galaxy is a solid single-player game with a strong story, the combat however is in desperate need of more fine-tuning.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Atmospheric and very beautiful dungeon crawler with thrilling tactical and complex round-based strategy battles in a lively cartoon world.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Lots of atmosphere and humor, lots of adventure. This add-on has everything: a nice, large and open world, partially absurd quests and interesting characters.

    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.

    Star Wars: Dark Forces does a lot right in its remaster, but also wastes a lot of potential
    • 78 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Great sniper game that shines especially with its huge areas, tactical possibilities and fantastic stealth gameplay.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Quite difficult turn based strategy battles in a densely narrated and graphically great looking post-apocalypse with fascinating animal heroes.

    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.

    Steven Spielberg once said that games could only become a true storytelling art form when they manage to make you cry. This game will.

    Dead Space 3, despite its strengths in presentation, atmosphere and sound remained well below the class of its predecessors. Too bad if you consider that this is probably due to targeting a wider audience.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Lightning-fast arcade action, precision control, constant movement and numerous gadgets.

    Surreal action-adventure, which is more art than game. The PC port has not aged.

    If you look at it and can overlook the rather clumsy story and the weak fighting system, Green Hell is suitable for genre novices with strong nerves as well as for veterans interested in a new challenge.

    Sports spectacle in a massive world: Despite numerous minor flaws, Riders Republic is a playground complete with excitement.

    • 72 Critic Score
    Mageseeker delights with action-packed combat if you can overlook the crude story and some superfluous features.

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

    A Way Out hits the heart of thriller fans and combines an intricate gangster story with simple co-op gameplay that welds gamers together.

    Hand on heart: Remnant: From the Ashes does not come close to the stick-hard role models of From Software.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Beautifully presented story game with strictly linear sneak puzzles that only rarely cause frustration.

    The well-made adaptation of the Rogue Trader setting is essentially a must-have for RPG fans, but unfortunately suffers from too many bugs.

    Pit People is an average turn-based tactical game with outstanding visuals and humor, especially entertaining when playing with others.

    I recommend the game especially to rally beginners, who want to improve their driving skills continuously.

    This is the PC conversion of the console game Birds of Prey. It's a bit short for an action game, doesn't offer enough options to be a simulation and still it's worth playing, mainly because there are no alternatives and Wings of Prey has great graphics worth seeing.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Pure arcade racing fun that properly captures the charm of the Hot Wheels brand. Track editor shortcomings and an expensive Day-One DLC are however bothersome.
