    A solid sequel that thanks to its co-op mode offers some variety, but still doesn't have the courage to try enough new things.

    I am disappointed by Control at a high level. In the beginning, the many mysteries and thus my curiosity pulls me through the game, but after a few hours disillusionment is spreading. The characters are as pale as the eternal hallways of the Old House monotonous. Hardly any opponent is a challenge if you regularly build Jesse's weapons and abilities at checkpoints.

    Tactical fights, great story, fresh setting: Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is the fresh wind the franchise needed.

    Impressive treatment of the Romanian revolution in 1989, with minor weaknesses in the field of game mechanics.

    The add-on brings a lot of new content but is not a mandatory purchase. Update 5.0 is much more important.

    All in all, I would have liked a bit more narrative narrative and a more level-focused skill design that would not let me search the needle in a haystack in the vast world alone.

    XCOM Light in World War 2: fast, compact turn-based battles on small maps, with challenging secondary objectives and a solid campaign framework.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Enchanting story game that takes both a critical and a cordial look at employment in a hospital, but does not do without drawbacks.

    The Skywalker Saga makes the hearts of Star Wars fans beat faster, but it cannot fully realize its enormous potential.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A great platformer that could have been even better on the Nintendo Switch.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The well-made adaptation of the Rogue Trader setting is essentially a must-have for RPG fans, but unfortunately suffers from too many bugs.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Challenging rally simulation with Loeb bonus, but inferior to Dirt Rally in all aspects.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Enjoyable fighting game with a well presented story, slightly outdated multiplayer system, and weak invasion mode.
    • 80 Metascore

    Oxenfree is a thrilling ghost story. Impatient gamers and action fans should stay away.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Battlefront is a mainstream shooter without too many problems. But apart from the Star Wars atmosphere is doesn't offer anything special.

    Ace Combat 7 is a thrilling game due to its varied missions, but the story can't repeat the magic of older titles of the series.

    An excellent football management sim, but it's lacking innovations of note.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The damage values in attacks are too arbitrary, the collision detection is not always optimal and wear of the weapons, at least initially more than annoying.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Total War: Pharaoh makes the best of a difficult setting, but can't mask all of its problems.

    Anno 1800: Seat of Power provides the endgame with further excitement and motivation, in return it charges a princely fee.
    • 67 Metascore

    I hate this game. And I love it. No other game managed to motivate me so often to have another go. But the crashes and some unfair situations are frustrating.

    Drova manages to come close to the quality of a true Gothic game over long stretches, only the visuals and lack of spoken dialogue could be off-putting.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The robotic construction has really scared me off, because crafting combined with the constant electric shock is a nasty time eater - although the servos really have a lot of charm!
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It's like the silent and scatterbrained little brother of Super Meat Boy, simple, beautiful, challenging and fair. Multiplayer shows the real potential of the game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you know the movies you'll feel right at home. Egon Spengler still talks like a scientist, Ray Stantz still has his love handles and Peter Venkman can't walk past a woman without trying to flirt. The game is also full of insider jokes regarding the movies. But it's to short and the PC version lacks the co-op mode.

    Brilliant modern military shooter with a strong campaign and excellent gunplay, but in many respects a foundation for subsequent updates.

    Titans offers several hours of exciting mid- to end-game content that fits perfectly into the existing item hunt.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Shattered Space offers a lot of what fans missed in the base game. Nevertheless, the story is a huge disappointment.
