    This is the second episode of Tales of Monkey Island. It's as good as the first part, no more, no less. It's fun for 3 or 4 hours, but the puzzles are too easy, the graphics and the controls could be better. Where are the long and challenging puzzles? Where's Monkey Island?

    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.

    The single player campaign basically forces you to use the same tactics over and over again, but you‘ll still want to play that next mission. Supreme Commander really shines in multi-player games or skirmishes.

    If you are willing to read a lot, Orwell can send shivers down your spine when working as a profiler.

    An enjoyable co-op shooter that doesn't know what it wants to be - other than taking your money.

    Expeditions impresses with great graphics and fresh ideas, but suffers from a lack of consistency in some areas.

    It's a magical 2D RPG you just have to love. The art style and the fitting characters create a visual highlight.

    Ubisoft's challange to GTA has succeeded and shows great potential. But the writers should have shown more courage to be different and remarkable.

    Thanks to relatable heroes and streamlined gameplay, this isometric Hack & Slay is a blessing for the slightly worn Darksiders series.

    No Hearthstone killer - yet. But with improved quests and the promised new card sets it could soon be one of the best games of the genre.

    The long-overdue field test of a lighthearted extraction shooter that replaces PvP with tactical duck shootouts. Lots of fun.

    Rise of Flight offers great and realistic battles during the First World War, but without a story and variety it's short-lived fun. But there's no comparable game out there where you can just go and fly into battle without much hassle. A joystick is recommended.

    The Void has its fascinating sides, lucid colors on dull grey, bizarrely warped beings, floating bodies and bare breast. Surrealism plays a huge role in this otherwise quite simple game. Using an out-of-date function like time limits is simply annoying. But the game manages to surprise from time to time and is still worth giving it a try, despite the weaknesses.

    The Tomb Raider trilogy presents itself in its best form for the final. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an all-round great action-adventure game.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo intrigues with Japanese mythology and a gorgeous open world, whereas its gameplay is not fully developed.

    It's a well done game and it doesn't cost much. The multiplayer matches are worth playing and the dynamic mission design makes for some nice surprises. The solo campaign is lacking, though.

    A classic adventure game masterpiece with great puzzles that never leaves the player alone or clueless what to do next. If you like the classic adventure games, go and buy it.

    Insightful story-adventure with limited gameplay, but an inspiring change of perspective into the world of thoughts of creative geniuses.

    Despite some problems with game balance and mission design, this is the best Warhammer game since Dawn of War 2: Retribution.

    The online RPG The Chronicles of Spellborn suffers from a lack of players, so there is hardly any PvP and some tasks are almost impossible to be done alone. There are still too many bugs to attract more players, but once they are fixed, the game could be a nice alternative to the main players of the genre.

    Get Famous is focused on individual fame and its consequences, but doesn't use a lot of potential apart from influencers.

    In Chapter One we don't puzzle as intensely as in Crimes and Punishment, but we sink into Holmes' world more seamlessly than ever.
