It's been a long time since a first-person shooter has gripped me like Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus...An almost perfectly balanced mix of difficulty, humor and classic shooter gameplay with modern elements.- GameStar

Darksiders 2 is larger, more varied and more motivating than the first game, and all game elements - be it story, battle, puzzle or skill pad - engage almost perfectly. I would have preferred a slightly more modern technology backbone and more fine-tuned mouse and keyboard controls. But these are small things that I forgive in such a captivating game as this.- GameStar

They saved the best for last. Legacy of the Void is a moment of glory for the RTS genre and a worthy conclusion to StarCraft 2. Where else can you still find lovingly made campaigns, fantastic presentation and ingenious multi-player in one single game?- GameStar

Incredibly entertaining and thought-out trading card game down to the last detail, which still lacks scope and Marvel atmosphere. [Early Access Score = 75]- GameStar

The game hardly develops original concepts and fails to implement the more complex structures seen in its role models. There is just no reason to choose Star Dynasties over Crusader Kings 3 or Stellaris.- GameStar

The approach of combining the gameplay of Factorio with action- and roguelike elements is very interesting in theory. However, its implementation currently leaves too many wishes unfulfilled, especially in regard to the far too simplistic combat system. [Early Access]- GameStar

Who would have thought that an Early Access game these days would come onto the market in a more complete state than some of the triple-A blockbusters. Bugs and glitches are negligible and are fixed remarkably prompt. Myth of Empires is an exciting project, which, especially at its full release, could shake up the genre. [Early Access]- GameStar
