    The complex combat and character system in Tower of Time is fun for hardcore enthusiasts fun, but for others may lead quickly to frustration and feeling overwhelmed.

    Colorful and well presented Warhammer40k battles with three campaigns that lack a bit of balance and variety.

    The well-done, sarcastic style and Ellen McLain as teh original voice complete the overall package well.

    One of the bast adventures of the last few years with a great story and a lot of freedom.

    Space strategy game with massive and vibrant galaxies, enormously motivating - if you can overcome the high entry hurdle.

    A fantastic role-playing game with fun fights and great story, but the gameplay becomes a test of patience.

    ARMA 2 doesn't seem to be a finished game. The AI is cheating, physics and controls are out of date and the game is full of annoying bugs. That the game manages to look great from time to time doesn't help much. Hopefully Bohemia Interactive will release some patches soon. The game still has a lot of potential.

    You also have to give the developers a lot of credit for how much fan service and configurability they've put into the game.

    A great platformer that could have been even better on the Nintendo Switch.

    It's a very good Fomula One game, but it's about time to improve the presentations. And what stopped the developers to implement something like Formula BMW or GP2?

    Dying Light 2 combines great gameplay with a surprisingly good story. However, the run-of-the-mill open world impairs the fun in the long term.

    Zeno Clash offers a really good combat system, good AI and a real innovative design. But instead of seeing more of the world, you're back in the arena after taking a few steps. The story raises more questions than it answers. In the end, it's just a few hours of mandatory boxing.

    The Survival mode is a party for hardcore strategists.

    What a comeback! Finally the FIFA series has overcome its form crisis and is celebrating modern football (soccer) again, both graphically and gameplay wise. Not everything is new, but most things look better. Pro Evolution Soccer may be the better simulation, but the fast action of FIFA 09 is just as much fun. EA Sports is back in the top league.

    A charming city-building game to enjoy after work, when you want to relax but don't want to be completely idle.

    Humankind is not a perfectly polished, yet extensively exciting and intricate strategy game.

    The addon is huge and offers new factions, units and special abilities. It's hard to understand why there are dozens of new units, but only a few of them are actually playable. But the missions are fun to play, even though the campaign is too short and lasts only for about eight hours. As far as multi-player is concerned, Kane's Wrath does everything right.

    The second standalone addon is also extensive, the trolls fit well into the world - but are a bit tough to play.

    Fast RTS with great animated medieval troops clashing and conquering sectors like in Company of Heroes.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Clever gameplay with changing worlds drives the action role-playing game, but long-term motivation fails to appear.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Excellent tactical turn-based battles with a highly adjustable difficulty level, a wonderfully implemented rule-set and convincing hero personalities.

    The final FIFA eventually takes a big step forward on PC.

    All in all, I would have liked a bit more narrative narrative and a more level-focused skill design that would not let me search the needle in a haystack in the vast world alone.

    Finally a new RTS where you can discard all the usual strategies. The makers of Universe at War offer suprisingly refreshing and innovative real-time battles.

    One Piece Odyssey is a mediocre JRPG with slow progression. The charming adaptation still makes fans happy.
    • 77 Metascore

    Just like the first one, but with a different villain, more skills, more crafting and more mini games.
