    It's still not the most realistic simulation and all those little improvements can't change that. But it's still a lot of fun due to its sheer size and huge amount of details.

    Stargate Timekeepers is a decent representative of the genre, but can only hold its own against the competition because of its license.

    FIFA 10 offers a few small improvements like new tactical options, but compared to Pro Evolution Soccer 6 it looks very dated. All in all, it's not enough to improve the rating compared to FIFA 09 and the series really needs a graphical update.

    Albion Online remains very motivating despite the large grind, thanks to the many and freely selectable options for character development.

    The size of the world is stunning and it's a good racing game, but the controls and the little bit disappointing multiplayer mode are the reasons it's not a great game.

    Citizen Brown is as good as the whole series, but the difficulty of the puzzles still is a problem. They are a bit more diverse and funny now, but still not really challening enough. But after three of five episodes it looks like this adventure series will be a milestone.

    Stylish Shakedown: Hawaii hits the mark with its 16-bit look and great soundtrack. Retro GTA fans will also get a similar mix with the predecessor Retro City Rampage in the DX version - without grafted-up, ultimately unnecessary economic simulation elements.

    It's as entertaining and thrilling as a good horror movie, but it lacks some variety.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Exactly the stuff that the horror genre desperately needs: gripping from beginning to end, with fresh enemy types and a varied gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    At its core lies a solid slow game that knows how to shine, especially with its multi-story levels, the multi-paths and Styx 'Goblin arsenal.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Well done addon for a classic still worth playing, but in places it's unnecessarily tough and monotonous.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    It's a nice little and funny game for fans of Sam & Max, Team Fortress, Penny Arcade or Home Star Runner, but it's a bad poker game. Medium difficulty is too easy and in hard mode the game seems to cheat.

    The technically great remaster hides a badly aged Turok. Those who don't miss the dinosaurs will at least get some entertaining retro action.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Patron convinces with rock-solid core gameplay in terms of city-building and economy. However, everything beyond that could be improved.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unexpectedly lovingly designed sandbox full of chaos and destruction, fun gadgets, ridiculous gags and Easter eggs.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Solid revival of the Commandos series that feels too slow in terms of gameplay at times.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A charming sequel to an RPG milestone with a great combat system and great music, but it still has technical problems.

    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Amusing shooter with rough humour, fast-paced jump passages and exotic monsters, but lacks scope towards the end.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It's actually a very likeable LEGO sandbox game, but its hiding its charms behind hours of boring quests and cumbersome controls.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Still an outstanding role-playing game that is seeing its second spring on the Switch. However, it also suffers from technical issues.

    • 76 Critic Score
    Phantom Brigade strikes me as a title with a very cool core mechanic around which the game has sadly been forgotten.

    • 70 Critic Score
    I definitely had fun with Retro City Rampage, that much is clear.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A beautiful adventure under water, with a touching narrative, immersing the player in a dreamy fairytale Metroidvania.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's old fashioned, but interesting and motivating and can make time fly - but if you expect a fast-travel feature or like to moan about bad drop rates, stay away from this one.

    Despite its problems ESO is a game that's fun for more than 100 hours and if Zenimax listens to the players, it can even become a great game.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Kingdoms and Castles is plain and modest in a good way. However, due to the lack of content, there is a lack of long-term motivation.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Warhammer 40K meets Civilization, but focuses solely on warfare. Only for 40K fans who prefer gameplay to story.
