    • 78 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    An atmospheric sci-fi adventure that suffers massively from questionable design decisions.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    A daring reboot for the horror franchise that does many things right, but hinders itself too often with poor design choices.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Diverse arcade racer with an impressively huge game world, but the enormous potential isn't used enough.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Experimenting and trying things out shows: physics can be fun, especially when building weird machines. But it needs more tutorials for beginners and better controls.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's as entertaining and thrilling as a good horror movie, but it lacks some variety.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    A sophisticated game that allows for skilful tactics, albeit the tabletop mechanics remove realism.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's a solid and entertaining classic RTS event though it's hard to identify yourself with some grey slime.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Railgrade is one of those games that get weaker over time.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Rebellion removed the most important feature from the game: panic. Instead of being in danger or afraid all the time like in the classic game, it’s now easy to beat aliens to a pulp. It’s still thrilling from time to time, but the single-player-part has lost most of its appeal.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Good remaster of a trashy space opera with its own special charm that lacks demanding combat as well as variety in sidequests.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Imagine Earth is a solid strategy sim with Civilization elements that lacks esprit and reflection on its theme.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Warfighter is well-made, has been set elaborately staged and looks good enough to eat in places. However, I constantly feel we have been through the whole spectacle in three dozen other shooters.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's a good adventure game, but for veterans of the series it's still disappointing. It's obvious that Telltale tried to make the best out of a small budget, but Monkey Island deserves better than that. It hurts to see the greatest adventure series being cut into little pieces.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Solid in terms of content, but unstable in terms of technical execution. FM26 demonstrates where the series is trying to go, but it still has a long way towards reaching its goal.

    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    A better weapon balance, more victory conditions, more diplomacy options and ground assaults that are not at least completely soporific - there is still a lot that could be improved.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    This little game is an insiders' tip and clearly worth the small price. A few real puzzles would have made the game even better.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It starts like a great game with a fantastic horror atmosphere, but then turns into a B-movie with a convoluted story and absurd puzzles.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Fresh setting with style, but the clumsy infrastructure prevents a well-rounded, fun gaming experience.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Forget logic or the laws of physics, you won’t need them in this game. It’s an absurd action feast where you play a super ninja called Ken Ogawa. The only problem with this game are frequent crashes which are annoying because you the game is only saved after completing a mission
    • 69 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It gets really scary towards the end of the game, when the madness slowly takes over.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    By today's standards the shootings are too static for my taste. In combination with the annoying graphics bugs, it is difficult for me to make an unreserved recommendation. If you just want to experience an adult story again that takes itself and its character seriously, then don't hesitate. But if you also hope for a dynamic gaming experience, there are certainly better alternatives by now.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Innovative shooter mix of base building and dungeon crawler, where creativity is punished of all things.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Great arcade football with a strong concept, however technical execution and uneven balance put the brakes on the fun. Rematch urgently needs a few months of fine-tuning.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Tacoma is a playable science fiction movie with exciting ideas, but gameplay and emotions are lacking.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Cyanides Space Hulk is close to the board game, but suffers from sluggish control and too short a campaign. Best played against a buddy.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Sherwood Builders uses the Robin Hood brand well when it comes to gameplay, but is an outlaw when it comes to presentation.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    CoD Modern Warfare 3 hides one of the best multiplayer modes in years between a crappy campaign and an insignificant zombie mode.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Innovative but quite repetitive horror adventure. Blindness as game mechanic is fascinating, but can't really shine.
