    Floodland offers a fresh, intriguing setting and implements it in an atmospheric manner, yet there are apparent flaws.

    Partly extremly hard, but never quite unfair retro platformer with idiosyncratic charm, which properly picks up steam in arcade mode only.

    It may look a bit dry and Whitechapel could have been filled with more life, but it's fun to hunt Jack the Ripper with both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Watson is more than just a sidekick this time, even though both heroes are played quite similar. The best Sherlock Holmes game from Frogwares so far.

    Fancy, compact turn-based strategy with an Indiana Jones setting, tricky, tactical battles, cool heroes, and great soundtrack.

    It’s not a third expansion, just a well done mini-campaign. The adventure takes place in busy Westgate and some smaller areas, there is no world outside of the city walls. There are a lot of things to do, weird characters to meet and dialogues which even surpass the quality of the main game from time to time.

    This playable Anime is a must for every Fan of Dragon Ball Z. The game world would need to play a bigger part to make this a hit.

    A sophisticated mix of building sim, exploration, hack & slash and tower-defense in a lovingly designed variant of Norse mythology.

    It's a standard update with better graphics ad an academy for newcomers but few improvements.

    Action filled fun with lots of endearing heroes and great game mechanics, but it lacks diversity.

    Worldslayer offers what Outriders fans expect from an expansion: more of the familiar in a polished state.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Entertaining Action-RPG with great fight mechanics, but full of problems regarding game balance and story.

    Need for Speed finally finds its way back on track and is especially worthwhile for solo racers who enjoy a well thought-out campaign.

    • 79 Critic Score
    It offers a popcorn-like action campaign and a great zombie mode, but multiplayer is just basic training.

    The game design is completely outdated, but you get a lot of old-school Tomb Raider for your bucks!
    • 73 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It looks like a twin to the first installment, but offers new gameplay elements and a lot of fun. Having to repeat the main quest in every new game is a bit annoying, though.

    A lightning-fast and entertaining arcade racer that is slowed down by its wide array of game systems.

    Laysara takes you to a beautiful and unspoiled mountain setting with complex and skilfully crafted gameplay mechanics.

    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.

    While the new location, the plot and Stasis as a new subclass type do enhance Destiny 2, Beyond Light adds too little overall.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Fast-paced story shooter that combines thrilling battles in slightly monotonous levels with a cool sci-fi atmosphere.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Great remaster of a real action classic. The timeless gameplay mechanics still work in 2016.

    • 79 Critic Score
    Setting and story make you think, without sermonizing. The gameplay needs improvements, though.

    Frontlines is basically an easy-to-learn shooter with lots of action. But your AI-controlled comrades-in-arms are close to useless because of their stupid behavior. This is the reason why Kaos Studios didn't achive the goal to create a solo campaign that feels like a multiplayer game. In the end, it's a team shooter that plays like an ego shooter - at least as long as you play offline.

    Lots of weapnon, fast action, huge explosions and impressive sounds, but no automatic healing or taking cover. Hard Reset was supposed to be old school and it is. It could have been more than just a five-hour-game, though.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Exciting medieval battles with few but specialized heroes in a varied solo campaign, no base building.

    Above all, Forges of Corruption gives you more Warhammer: Boltgun, but lacks any innovation.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Very combat focused RPG. You can manipulate time within the turn-based fantasy battles - perfect for tinkerers with patience.

    • 79 Critic Score
    If you really want to go deep into strategic battles and conquer every inch of the sometimes sprawling big cards, then Steel Division 2 is the place to go and gets tens of hours of entertainment with sophisticated battle strategies. However, those who do not like vigorous micromanagement should bypass the new digital Eastern Front.
