    Only the combat system is not precise and varied enough for me, a little more fine-tuning would have been necessary here. But that makes up for the charming indie game with charm and its unique graphic style.

    The new additions may be entertaining and well done, but this add-on is still far too expensive, if you don't really care a lot about your Sims and their fun.

    A childlike and visual appealing adventure with gameplay that fails to motivate in the long term.

    Iris. Fall is a very short and fairly easy puzzle game, but it shines through intense atmosphere and creative puzzles.

    Space - spectacular and boring. The first few hours give the impression of playing one of the best online games ever. So it's even more disappointing that Black Prophecy sinks so low afterwards. The story just stops, the quest are boring and ships and talents should be more complex. Let's hope for new content soon.

    The remaster begins with two timeless highlights and ends with an unavoidable crash landing.

    Although smaller aspects such as in-app rip or missing multiplayer mode nerves, Spartan Assault is a worthy Halo offshoot that brings the big name no shame.

    What's the worst that can happen to a fighter jet game? Playing it feels like sitting in a slow train. There's no difference between Mach 2 and the speed of a mallard, no difference between the F-117 Nighthawk and the Mirage III, and to crash your plane, you need to deliberately go for it. Only when there are far too many enemies, H.A.W.X. poses a challenge and never exploits its full potential.

    America's Army 3 can be really good if you have a good connection to the server and if you can find other motivated and cooperative players. But it can take hours until you are able to find that combination. The US army should fix the problems if they want to make a good impression.

    The basic substance of Dungeons 2 is really good. You can tell that the developers had good ideas and have invested a lot of heart and soul into their baby.

    An emotional adventure with limited gameplay and a moving story that will be remembered.

    Fast and easy to grasp RTS which has a lot to offer for Halo fans and PC strategists alike.

    Unique, sick horror with a remarkable Alien style and innovative huge puzzles, but too few enemy types. Only for very strong stomachs.

    Spore is a simple game and the add-on doesn't change that. It can only offer simple adventures and there's not much use for thousands of them if ten are enough already. Instead of improving Spore, Galactic Adventures promotes the weaknesses of the game.

    MySims was created for very young gamers, but is more than just "Sims Light" with cute graphics. It's actually quite complex, especially for children. The rewards and challenges are very well done. If you're less than 10 years old, this may be for you.

    When I think about what Thief could have been if it had just had the courage to want to be something, then I get annoyed .

    Posh PvP carnage featuring a for the genre exceptional combat system. Plot, PvE and endgame are however more limited.

    Improved textures and revised balancing complement this terrific action-RPG classic, which, however, features too many generic side quests.

    A surreal and nightmarish adventure with great art design and intense atmosphere, but not very challenging.

    A fun stealth game that lacks fresh ideas.

    An unconventional psychological adventure with grand ambitions and significant flaws, which piques curiosity at the beginning but leaves you feeling bored by the end.

    Better than the predecessor, a solid game, but still a bit of a disappointment. Mods could change that, though.

    The Whispered World is a stunningly beautiful adventure game with a great story for adults. It makes you smile, touches your heart, makes you sad and thoughtful. A little masterpiece with a small, but great hero.

    If you can look past the bland setting and the repetitive gameplay, this well-balanced genre mix could be your thing.

    Sudden Strike 4 is one of these strategy games where victory and defeat are so damn close together.

    On its own it's an entertaining game, but compared to The Sims 3 it's a step back and a lesser game.

    If you prefer creating things instead of destroying them, please forgo Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. Playing a mercenary in Venezuela you blow up multi-story buildings, restaurants, hotels, factories, cars and boats in several missions. The controls could have been better, but it's still fun, and instead of complaining about the shortfalls of the game you could always just go and blow up something else.

    More of the traditional Serious Sam gameplay that gets to the point faster than the main game, whereas it still runs poorly.
