Co-op mode, RPG elements, items and level ups - this game almost has it all. Almost, because team work isn't really encouraged. But it's still fun for weeks for a low price.- GameStar

Funny, quirky, creative, and brilliantly staged—a true Simon adventure through and through.- GameStar

Hundreds of vehicles, hundreds of square kilometers – Avalanche has created the largest level for an action game so far. Some of the open world gameplay just seems to be there to add playtime, but the missions make up for that.- GameStar

Solo gamers won’t have that much fun with Demigod, but if you are into multi-player battles, you are in for a treat. Balance needs to be fixed, though. And it’s a bit too expensive.- GameStar

Exciting and fiddly building sim à la Factorio, yet not quite as sober and technical. Emphasis on transporting goods. Caution: addictive!- GameStar

Detective work with the three vampire protagonists is entertaining even without combat, as long as you can dodge the balance traps.- GameStar

Not everything fits together perfectly in Expeditions: Rome. Nevertheless, it is a very good tactical role-playing game.- GameStar

For me, it's still not the best Trine, but rather a kind of dignified Déjà vu, a mission CD (who knows that yet?) To earlier parts, a nice reunion without surprises. As meaningful as it may be, the step back in this case also means that you end up back where you were eight years ago.- GameStar

Give this ugly duckling a chance. It may not become a swan, but it's a hell of duck. If you like Minecraft, this game will be a nice change with the focus on exploration.- GameStar

It's a great game based on Episode 7 and captures the spirit of the movie, but doesn't offer anything more than what's typical for the series.- GameStar

Slashers's Keep is half dungeon-crawler and half Rogue-like, it can, nonetheless, be considered to be slightly more than just the sum of its parts.- GameStar

Neat retro shooter with good game flow and sound design, yet turns out to be a little too easy and concludes a little too abruptly.- GameStar

Jenny's death in the first part of The Darkness is in my mind one of the most emotional moments of the shooter genre. All the better to think that this great story continues now – even though without a satisfactory conclusion...Apart from this, levelheadedly observed, there is not so much within The Darkness 2. The gameplay is repetitive, and there's not much of it. And yet the game entertained me in the short time very well.- GameStar

The brute battles, the use of role-playing elements and the fast multi-play mode are exciting, but as far as mission design, story and balance are concerned, Dawn of War 2 doesn't live up to its potential. Relic created a novel strategy game, but the discrepancy between the more technical parts of the game and its mission design and story is obvious. Still, it's not a bad game at all.- GameStar

A successful heir to Dark Souls who improves the original concept, but knows its own limitations.- GameStar

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

A single developer did a far better job with Banished than the whole team of Maxis with Sim City. Yes, there are still some things missing, like upgrades or more buildings, but there will be mod tools for the community.- GameStar

It shouldn't be fun to be a small cog wheel in a huge dictatorial gear box but it's fun to find out where your personal limits are, where the fun ends and when it's time for reflection.- GameStar

Still an outstanding role-playing game that is seeing its second spring on the Switch. However, it also suffers from technical issues.- GameStar

Superhot is a smart but short FPS. The unique game mechanics reward intelligence instead of fast reflexes.- GameStar

It's just as thrilling as the Nintendo DS version. It may have only 150 different units, but offers lots of varied missions, motivating side missions and officers.- GameStar

Short, firm soul-like that keeps you entertained for 20 hours. Learning curve and replay value are low.- GameStar
