    Gripping VR space adventure with excellent immersion and good graphics.

    Darksiders 3 offers fresh new approaches and fun gameplay, but leaves much to be desired in terms of story, heroine and keyboard controls.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.

    Starbound offers a lot of freedom, diversity and a love for details. An amazingly good game if you love 2D pixel worlds.

    Legend doesn't offer many new things, but if you can't be better than Diablo, you can at least try to create a good copy. In the case of Legand, this was a wise choice.

    The Definitive Edition has fulfilled its most important goals. It revives the first Age of Empires in a more beautiful way than in the memory of the most nostalgic - and removes enough of the legacy that I can enjoy today just as much as it used to. Above all, I can hardly wait to see what the developers will do with the Definitive Edition of the second part.

    Good mix of board game, classic pen & paper, turn-based combat and roguelike with few new features.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Grid Legends delights with superb orchestrated, entertaining races, but it leaves a lot of potential untapped in terms of career and team management.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Lost Ark is a good MMO with tons of content, alas unnecessarily complicated and repetitive endgame mechanics.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A tactically challenging duel-game for playing on the sofa. Every fight is full of surprises and can bring your emotions to the boiling point.

    • 79 Critic Score
    The transfer of Homeworld from space battles to ground battles works very well. Great campaign, but AI and balancing problems disturb the fun.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's still a very good game, just not a particularly original one.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Dynamic, very thrilling battles in the fateful year 1989. Adequate learning curve, also suitable for beginners.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Idyllic farm- and country life with a fun treats feature. Authentic animal husbandry and sophisticated gameplay are, however, left out.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Consistent and surprisingly innovative medieval spin-off, which loses some of its thrill due to a reduced economy and a weak AI.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's more of the same but still better than the last episode, because Moai Better Blues offers more demanding riddles than its predecessor "Ice Station Santa" and the weirdest story since "Abe Lincoln must die". But it would be better still if it were at least as long as the other episodes. It's over far too soon.

    Kojima's prestigious project boasts a great technological framework, but still suffers from a lack of action and it’s one dimensional story.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    If you like sea battles, you shouldn't miss World of Warships even though it lacks a bit of variety and realism.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    WW2 drowns a partially good story in a jumble of action and bombast. Multiplayer and Zombies are convincing, though.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    When does this game start in earnest? The puzzles are so easy and the story so superficial that it feels like an intro to a game - until die credits roll. It's fun, but lacking substance.

    Electronic Arts and Will Wright send you on a unique journey through Evolution. But it's less of a game and more of a colourful biological construction kit. Spore is sophisticated and rich in details, but all this is rarely noticeable because of its uninspired game play and lack of a story, which is such a pity. It's a paradise for creative gamers, but an expensive one, too. Electronic Arts asks 10 Euros more than usual - that's a rip off.

    The addon is overshadowed by major changes behind the scenes. The new class is great, but overpowered, and the story ends abruptly.
    • 78 Metascore

    Metro also works in VR, even if Awakening is a little weaker than the non-VR parts of the series.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Either you like that kind of game with creative gameplay or you thin it's a pure waste of time. It's hard to judge by the usual criteria.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The essentially well-made VR shooter borrows from the Medal of Honor classics, yet shows flaws in its execution.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A visually appealing package with AI flaws, which more than other parts of the series is a matter of taste.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A surreal and nightmarish adventure with great art design and intense atmosphere, but not very challenging.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Exactly the stuff that the horror genre desperately needs: gripping from beginning to end, with fresh enemy types and a varied gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Aragami offers a well done Japanese look and equally convincing stealth mechanics.
