    Two of the best action adventures of all time delight with a lot of charm, fast-paced gameplay and an almost perfect PC port.

    A beautiful alien sea, sophisticated game mechanics and a motivating story. Diving into Subnautica is worth doing.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a very hard game, but also extremly motivating and fun. The puzzles are cleverly designed and the retro style very charming. If you like the genre, you have to buy this game.

    Square Enix again performs first-class work in terms of story, technique, graphics and, above all, music.

    For me, the bill (with the exception of the story) works out perfectly. In Hitman 3, I have so much to puzzle, lure, assassinate, and giggle while setting up the perfect bitter traps that I will likely spend many weeks with the game.

    NBA 2K18 is currently the best sports simulation. However, the weak technology and the omnipresent virtual currency are very disturbing.

    Pragmata is a heartwarming sci-fi shooter that dares to try something brand new and hits right on target.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Successful mixture of strategy, tower defense, survival sandbox and sci-fi story generator with a guaranteed high replay value.

    The new single-player mode isn’t that interesting, but the multi-player part is fantastic. With new destructable environments and new game modes Bad Company 2 is the best Battlefield game so far.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A deep bow to the JRPG console classics of the nineties, with meaningful improvements, such as to the battle system.

    No pit stops, no car tuning. Race Driver: Grid is all about driving, having fun and running a racing team. The game drops you right into the race without training laps or qualifying. AI opponents with almost humanlike behaviour, physically correct damage modelling, up to 40,000 spectators in 3D, bloom effects, smoke and force feedback create an amazingly intense feeling of being right smack in the middle. Need for Speed feels like bobbycar racing in comparison.

    The strategically and optically convincing TGC skillfully introduces new ideas into the genre. Very generous and fair Free2Play system!

    Roads to Power is the best expansion for Crusader Kings 3 thus far and will convince both role-players and strategists

    If you haven't played this game when it first came out a long time ago , you should go and buy it right now. And if you have, you should go and buy it right now. It's the best adventure game of all time, period.

    Opulently presented action RPG that regards the action part very uncompromisingly - certainly too uncompromising for some fans of the series.

    Sokoban meets programming language logic – probably the best puzzle game 2019.

    • 86 Critic Score
    A sigh of relief among fans: After two lackluster cinema adventures, the man with the hat and whip is back to his old form. This game is the film that should have followed The Last Crusade.

    Yes, it's disappointing that PC gamers don't get the new Ignite engine, but it's still a fantastic and improved simulation, becoming more and more realistic.

    An artistic game that elegantly plays with the possibilities of the narrative genre and captivates with its storytelling.

    A nearly flawless gem of an action game that challenges you as much as it rewards you.

    Rockstar has managed to make Max as a character so compelling that the guy alone bears the full story.

    A very difficult and hand-drawn Metroidvania with an enormous size for players with a lot of patience and a high frustration tolerance.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Deathloop overdoes it now and then but remains a fun shooter with inventive time loop mechanics.

    The first Dead Space was a stress test, this is a real game where you can stop, recover and play around with different weapons- and it's still extremly thrilling.
