    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.

    Disappointing Star Trek adventure that badly needs additional polish and bug fixes to be at least mediocre.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Neat shooter remake, which despite its plot weaknesses entertains just as well as back then. Without multiplayer, it is, however, a rather thin package.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A consistent evolution of Rehydrated with an extra ton of fan service, but without challenging gameplay.

    Have you been playing World of Warcraft for such a long time, that streets in Stormwind or Orgrimmar have been named after you? Why not try a free alternative? Runes of Magic is really impressive. There is no pressure to buy anything, it's easy on beginners and at the same time a complex game thanks to the rune system and dual classes.

    To have fun with this game, there need to be a lot of players and able commanders. If you find some with matching abilities, the game is extremely entertaining. But that's a rare case.

    Fast-paced mecha action game with great aesthetics, but problems with controls and story.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A unique and sometimes unwieldy adventure that still feels very unusual in the remake.

    Quotation forthcoming.

    • 80 Critic Score
    After two hours of playing time, the thin story becomes obvious. A bit more depth would have helped regarding long-term motivation, but it's still a very good first-person shooter.

    Breathedge is one crazy ride with a lot of fun, as a survival game it nevertheless doesn't tap its full potential in the second half.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Solid and true to the original, but even mordernized graphics can’t save the mediocre gameplay of the original.

    Aragami offers a well done Japanese look and equally convincing stealth mechanics.

    • 72 Critic Score
    In Memorapolis, you build cities like nowhere else. However, some game mechanics aren't fully fleshed out.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Claws of Awaji condenses the strengths of the main game onto a small island and finally brings the plot to a satisfying conclusion.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A traditional RTS with clever ideas that struggles a bit due to the weak single player campaign. Still the best RTS we've seen in a long time.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever puzzle game with physics and fantastic and diverse level design that doesn't offer any help, though.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Very similar to its predecessor, and the protagonist truly is an unpleasant one - but the flower power action remains entertaining.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Naraka: Bladepoint combines Battle Royale with tactically demanding close combat duels, but it is only worthwhile for patient players.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Nice Day For Fishing is perfect for a short time, but it's too shallow to keep you hooked for more than three evenings.

    Ascaron's second monster-bashing game returns to the huge and beautiful realm of Ancaria. It inherits both the virtues and weaknesses of its predecessor - and bugs, too. Possibly the best action RPG for a long time, Sacred 2 is addictive as long as it's not crashing. Ascaron is already working on new patches, which should be available soon .

    I have waited 19 years for a worthy successor to Battle Isle 2 and it was worth it. Well animated units, simple to understand, tricky to master, challenging AI. The presentation could be better though.

    Another adventure from Germany with a fascinating story and great atmosphere, both off the beaten track of the usual fantasy and historical backgrounds. It may even be the best modern crime and horror adventure, but why did the developers feel the need for lame mini-puzzles and an open end?

    This atmospheric resistance management game may not be a perfect game, but it’s an important one. Especially in this day and age.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A truly groundbreaking experience is not the mish-mash of clues, uninspired fireworks and quite appealing story with a rather lame ending - but for answering difficult questions, you have to beat The Sinking City more than just on the back.

    • 83 Critic Score
    Compared to the predecessor it offers better cargo systems and good new transports, but the controls are still flawed.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There'd be nothing wrong with the “more of the same” approach of this DLC, if only the story didn't feel so incomplete.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The graphics settings are too poor for me as a PC player.

    Surprisingly good compared to Sniper Elite 2 and great fun for sniper fans.

    With each episode, Telltale manages to raise the bar and make the game even better. This time the puzzles are much better and there are situations where some thinking is absolutely necessary.
