    Well done successor of the homage to Dungeon Keeper, which consistently expands the strengths of the predecessor and mends some vulnerabilities...In the end dungeons 3 might not be a masterpiece, but if you are looking for a good dungeon strategy again, you can't go wrong.

    Fine retro shooter in the Warhammer universe that would be even better with automap, editor or multiplayer mode and more enemy variety.

    A new Saga offshoot with lots of good, but not perfectly implemented ideas.

    The first DLC for Borderlands 3 boasts a lot of gags and crazy characters. Nothing new in the gameplay department, though.

    Dead Island 2 knows what it wants and does it just right. The zombie slasher is good solo, but even better in co-op.

    Smart indie RPG with a great setting, fun card battles and interesting characters.

    The creativity put into this game is more than enough for three games, but behind the art there's not much diversity. But we still wanted to know how the story ends.

    Surprisingly good adventure prequel with emotional power. Runs out of steam towards the end.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Exciting battles with many different units which requires a massive grind. Balancing will be a permanent construction area.

    Evoland 2 is a bombastic mix of console-type RPG, fighting game, turn-based strategy and platformer - something for real game experts.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Solid mix of Metroidvania and roguelike with epic boss battles, but often very conservative and sometimes slow-moving.

    • 83 Critic Score
    Solid railway game in the style of Ascaron's economic simulations. Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but works well.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A well done remastered version of a still fantastic RPG milestone. Small problems like the cumbersome inventory are still there, but that doesn't change the fact that everybody should get to know this game.

    Ara: History Untold dares a lot, but many things still don't work out as planned. It still falls short of its role model, Civilization.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It's a good game and all the ingredients are there, but it's missing the love and passion that Rocksteady used to pour into those games. The world is bigger but lifeless, the story isn't as thrilling.

    Battlestations Pacific looks nice, but that doesn’t help if the rest of the game is just plain boring. Every mission plays like the last one, there’s no rise in difficulty and no real connection between the missions. After playing the game for a few hours you’ll ask yourself “What’s the point?”

    The least interesting add-on for The Sims 3. There's a good amount of new accessories, but hardly any new rules or challenges. It's like EA saying here are some new toys, go and play."

    It may not look as nice as Crysis 2, but at least there's a hero to identify with with an interesting story. If you like action without the usual war scenarios, get to Mars.

    The best job of all may be to cound the daily revenue for The Sims 3 at EA, but this add-on probably comes quite close. Even though it's a bit more of the same, it's hard to escape the typical Sims charm.

    Orwell sends intense, cold shivers down the spine of the player/supervisor. As long as he's willing to read a lot.

    • 62 Critic Score
    Worth a look for nostalgics. But even connoisseurs of the original will quickly lose the desire to play due to the dusty game mechanics.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Well-done remake of a classic for old-school fans with a few problems regarding controls and animations.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Good ideas with mediocre implementation. The basics just don't work.

    Top Spin 2K25 offers challenging gameplay for tennis fans, but struggles with technical weaknesses and pushy microtransactions.

    A Vampyre Story creates a wonderful atmosphere, looks good and is very detailed, but the open end and the riddles change the picture a lot. There are not enough hints, but far too many pointless interactions. The game requires a lot of patience, which kills the fun playing it.

    • 81 Critic Score
    Innovative detective role-playing game in a highly interesting world in which your decisions have far-reaching consequences.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Minimalistic and consistent real-time strategy game, which lacks some variety in the long term.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The most bombastic open-world title of the year is like a playground that works better, the more you lower your brain activity. Brain off, fun on.
