Only the fleet magic system, although it has its flaws, is a real highlight for me.

Entertaining action platformer for a small price. The points needed to unlock certain levels feel are an unnecessary limit.

State of Mind pursues a thematically exciting idea, but fails due to trivial gameplay and weak staging.

An atmospherically dense, but narratively weak tactical game that can't hold a candle to its outstanding predecessor, Mutant Year Zero.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's a very sloppy port and even 4K doesn't improve the old fashioned graphics. But that doesn't mean it's a bad game, it's still a rich and easy to learn beat-em-up. Those are rare on PC.

Syndicate leaves me cold at almost all levels. And where it will not let me cold, it repels me.

With its innovative color boost mechanism Trailblazers provides a tactically inspired racing pleasure, especially for team players.

Accessible crossover fighting game with FX-rich, extremely fast battles, which feel tamer in comparison to its predecessor.

Cities XL plays like Sim City from 1988 of City Life from 2006: Building streets and industrial, residential and commercial areas. But once you start building, you realize that a lot of things don't seem to work - because they only will after you've bought playtime. And only then you will be able to buy extra packages. To be fair, one month is included already.

An unnecessary sequel that is miles behind the original in every regard.

It's an entertaining simulation, but the developers changed only small details and ignored the bigger problems of the series.

An old-school and very vivid business simulation with limited depth. Motivating station building, annoying humour that lacks subtlety.

Galactic Civilizations 4 is a competent 4X turn-based strategy game, but it doesn't offer any reasons to choose it over its competition.

Versatile survival game in the Hyborean age with a lot of variety for construction enthusiasts, adventurers and explorers.

The faultlessly working speech recognition of Tom Clancy's Endwar achieves its objective: you really feel like a military leader - at least for one hour, because in terms of speed and precision the human voice is still inferior to controlling the game with a mouse. The game itself resembles World of Conflict, but doesn't come close. Especially the game balance needs to be fixed.

Quotation forthcoming.

Solid clone of Age of Empires with technical mishaps, which barely offers single-player content, but varied factions and strategies in PvP.

What does dying feel like? This game tries to answer this question, but the level design is just too difficult and requires absolute precision.

With lots of different opponents, unpredictable battles, varied battlefields and lots of specializations, Blackguards is one of the most diverse strategy games lately, but it high degree of randomness can be frustrating.

Four Spider-Men in four parallel worlds is no guarantee for four times the fun. If the game was comic, we would skip ahead to the cool bits.

Hero shooter for solo players. Despite gameplay flaws it convinces with a diverse heroic war, great campaign and plenty of self-irony.

Blade & Soul offers an action-packed battle system and fantastic PvP. But a lot of grind, too, and crafting is boring.

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.

Charming puzzle action-adventure with novel vacuum cleaner alien-slime mechanics. It can be completed on a cozy evening.

Seven is a very good steath game with an interesting story in a vibrant cyberpunk world.

Quotation forthcoming.

60 Parsecs sometimes feels unfair, but because of the entertaining adventure-survival-mix you always want to try again.
