Defense Grid 2 is not a revolutionary sequel, it plays more like a subtly refined version of the first part. The successor to one of the best tower defense games is no revolution but still in the first class of the genre.

Successful genre mix that runs out of steam near the end due to repetition.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands offers an ingenious open world but a uniform mission design. Playing creatively in co-op offers the most fun.

Quantum Break is an action experience with great presentation, but on PC it doesn't look as spectacular as on Xbox One.

Roadwarden skillfully transports text-based role-playing into the modern age.

Citizen Sleeper is a cyberpunk gem that tells an extraordinary, profound story and makes you think.

The online games feel fresh. But the gameplay changes are only in the details, since years the FIFA series is based on the same formulas. FIFA 21 clearly lacks innovation.

Quotation forthcoming.

Strong VR sequel to the Batman: Arkham series that feels almost like the original with a first-person perspective.

The battles feel like the ones from Darksiders, the dialogues remind of Bioware titles, and the world wants to be as big and multifarious as Skyrim. Reckoning gets this mixture just about right, but misses its evident types in any discipline. I had fun anyway, which is mainly due to the cool talent system and the fascinating tale. Whoever lets oneself into it, receives a successful action-role-playing game that has found its place exactly between linear story-nuggets (Dragon Age) and open-world adventures (Skyrim).

It's a very hard game, but also extremly motivating and fun. The puzzles are cleverly designed and the retro style very charming. If you like the genre, you have to buy this game.

Thrilling survival game that uses great atmosphere and smart ideas for a well done twist in the rogue-like genre.

Blade & Soul offers an action-packed battle system and fantastic PvP. But a lot of grind, too, and crafting is boring.

Quotation forthcoming.

One of the best superhero games out there that doesn't just offer brilliantly orchestrated blockbuster action, but also a convincing narrative. A shaky frame rate, crashes and AI glitches currently dampen the fun.

It's not really the next big thing, but well done, with great characters and humor. And there is still room for a lot of sequels.

Sure, there are a few quirks, but Mirror's Edge is a well designed and well presented elaborate game. And it's fun, too. It's plays a bit like Tomb Raider, just faster and without ruins. Not a perfect game, but perfectly designed and it stands out from the mass of uniform games like a white skyscraper.

Ascaron's second monster-bashing game returns to the huge and beautiful realm of Ancaria. It inherits both the virtues and weaknesses of its predecessor - and bugs, too. Possibly the best action RPG for a long time, Sacred 2 is addictive as long as it's not crashing. Ascaron is already working on new patches, which should be available soon .

Torchlight is not just a clone of Diablo, it's a very good clone of Diablo, offered at a very low price. The game feels like a modern remake of Diablo, which is no big surprise, because it has been developed by former Blizzard employees Max and Erich Schaefer. The gameplay is so smooth it makes other games feel like work.

Quotation forthcoming.

With each episode, Telltale manages to raise the bar and make the game even better. This time the puzzles are much better and there are situations where some thinking is absolutely necessary.

A turn-based strategy Rogue-like that offers cool events and tough decisions. Highly addictive and re-playable.

I have a lot of fun with the puzzles, most are wonderfully tricky, but still logical.

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.

Wonderful open world with an awesome jet pack, yet outdated technology.

A strong story add-on with a beautiful new map, but few gameplay innovations.

A traditional, but also very good JRPG that at first unnecessarily conceals its strengths and only shows what it can do after around 15 hours.
