    • 81 Critic Score
    Breathtakingly beautiful and quite easy puzzle adventure without violence, fights or player deaths.
    • 76 Metascore

    Rise of the Ronin is a challenging open-word souls-like with versatile and flexible combat, as well as a fresh setting.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Beginner-friendly diesel punk shoot 'em up with additional game modes and challenges that only real masters will manage.

    UBOAT is a worthy successor to the Silent Hunter series that sets its own accents.

    Greater than Starfield's ambitions is only the RPG's wasted potential. It still is a fun space trip, though.

    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.

    Great first season with great characters and coherent story. More interactive story than game though.

    Above all, the first four Settler games benefit from the purely technical changes. All seven have aged with dignity.

    The best job of all may be to cound the daily revenue for The Sims 3 at EA, but this add-on probably comes quite close. Even though it's a bit more of the same, it's hard to escape the typical Sims charm.

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

    If you want to rule over Europe you can look forward to complex trading and city building. For military strategist it may fall short.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Less complex, but very demanding castle-building game that impresses above all else with its massive number of troop units.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    And the mod-tweaking of my science fiction troops and commanders brings additional depth.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Visually stunning, but gameplay-wise shallow Free2Play game about fashion.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Atmospheric strategy game with high entry hurdle that is worth overcoming.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great Metroid-style action adventure with fantastic presentation. Could have been a bit longer and demanding though.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you liked FlatOut, you'll love Wreckfest. Drily presented, but wonderfully brutal full-contact racing with impressive physics.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Homeworld 3 impresses with groundbreaking space battles but disappoints with a trivial campaign.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Action-packed, yet demanding multiplayer fun, but it lacks variety and depth in the long run.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fantastic driving experience, but the career mode is disappointing and there's no weather system.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Have you been playing World of Warcraft for such a long time, that streets in Stormwind or Orgrimmar have been named after you? Why not try a free alternative? Runes of Magic is really impressive. There is no pressure to buy anything, it's easy on beginners and at the same time a complex game thanks to the rune system and dual classes.

    Overwatch 2 does some things differently than its predecessor, but it doesn't pass as a sequel.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • GameStar
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dark fantasy RPG with highly tactical and intense turn-based combat, but weaknesses in city building and character development.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Brain off, trigger finger on. It's easy to forget the simple visuals and it's ideal for a quick game.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Once again Paradox offers a strategy game on a global scale, perfect for retirement, taking a year off or spending your life in solitude. It's dry presentation is full of statistics and details. If you've got enough patience, this game could keep you occupied for years.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hotline Miami 2 is indeed a fun and exciting action spectacle, but also a little disappointing successor of a great game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dungeon Siege 3 is clearly better than its predecessors and fights are real fights, not just interactive graphicsl demonstrations. The story around Jeyne Kassynder is good entertainment.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great action game with new characters, but the new version keeps the weaknesses of the original and re-uses a lot of levels.
