    Am I having a blast with Saints Row? Yes! Would I unreservedly recommend it to all action fans? Rather not. Because there are too many little things that just aren't for everyone.

    What a game Gray Matter could have been if the developers would have been able to deliver more than second rate puzzles. Still, if you like adventures, you should give it a try.

    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.

    The airship DLC primarily enhances the New World, but it also grants enormous population upgrades to other regions.

    It's fast and chaotic. Maybe too fast and chaotic. It needs some polishing, then there's potential to be one of the best multiplayer FPS games on the market. The single player campaign isn't that great, though.

    AO Tennis 2 is a solid and comprehensive simulation. The lackluster role playing elements prevent a higher rating, though.

    It may be called like a hard disk defrag program, but it's a fast multi-player shooter The single player campaign can't keep up with the fast multi-player battles, but it's just there to prepare you for the real battles with real people.

    A beautiful truck sandbox with road construction that isn't as prominent as expected.

    Now Crytek has jumped onto the remaster train and is stepping into the trap it has built for itself: To release a new edition of a 13-year-old game in 2020, which again needs a really expensive PC for full graphics power, is a crazy idea.

    Looks like Rome was ahead of its time: raw materials weren't transported, they were teleported. At least that's what happens in Grand Ages: Rome, because the focus of the game is not on building effective transportation. Instead you need to build an efficient economy. This can be quite motivating if you enjoy being rewarded for your city planning.

    Calling Retribution an addon is almost an insult. This new episode offers not only new units and missions, but six single player campaigns, lots of improvments and a fully fledged multiplayer game. That's more than some full-price games.

    The varied, but technically tame action-adventure appeals to Souls-like beginners. It also offers a refreshing ageing system and puzzles.

    Despite the flaws and the unused potential, the game is still a lot of fun as a casual game. But as a dogfighting game doesn't offer enough realism or a big enough plane selection.

    Not a Hero is one those games that is fantastic at the beginning, but that feeling doesn't last too long. After a few hours it's less entertaining but that's ok given the price.

    Unknown 9 is not the latest action blockbuster, but it is an entertaining mix of stealth, action, mysticism and story.

    Fantastically written and life-affirming dating simulator that doesn't use all of its potential.

    The first DLC is only worthwhile for those who want to let off steam without any space problems. Or for those who already had a lot of fun collecting objects in the main program, in order to optimize their settlements to the last little screw.

    Decent remaster, which not only revives the strengths of Rome, but unfortunately also the inept AI.

    Narrated without bells and whistles, the varied escape story with authentic protagonists keeps on resonating in one's mind for a long time.

    Battle March adds the Greenskin and the Dark Elves as new playable races for a new campaign and multiplayer matches. The three chapters of the campaign alternate between Greenskin and Dark Elf missions. AI and game balance haven't been improved since Mark of Chaos, but that doesn't affect the big strength of the game: it's dense Warhammer atmosphere. If you liked Mark of Chaos, then Battle March is probably for you. But it could have been more challenging.

    The Tiberium saga ends while hitting rock bottom, being just a fast-food game without any depth. It’s not a bad game, but feels like any other game of the genre.

    Tempest Rising works as a stand-alone game, but does not come close to the brilliance of its role model C&C.

    The most accessible, most extensive and currently simply the best fighting game on consoles - the PC version noticeably lags behind online.

    The plot is gripping, the characters more sympathetic.

    This new installment adds a few new and fresh ideas as well as some annoyances, but for all of it little quirks, Disciples 3 is still a great game for fans of turn-based fantasy strategy games.

    A compelling strategy game that, despite its weak storyline, unfolds its full tension and depth, especially in free campaign mode.

    Fans of Deadpool will find their VR dream here. However, the game hinges on whether or not you find the characteristic humor appealing.

    It's a lovely cheerful physics puzzle game which is great entertainment played in co-op while sitting on the couch. In single player it loses a bit of that magic.
