    Lincoln Clay's personal vendetta offers a thrilling story and a great setting, but a lot of the game is just grunt work.

    If you are looking for a heart-warming and funny game between all those shooters and dark action games, this is the one for you.

    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.

    A thrilling first person shooter with some flaws. If it wasn't for those unnecessary action interludes it would have been much better and probably even a great game.

    The core of the tower defense strategy mix is demanding and entertaining.

    • 72 Critic Score
    It's a sold simulation if you like the genre but with several bugs and unnecessary mini games.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Mageseeker delights with action-packed combat if you can overlook the crude story and some superfluous features.
    • 65 Metascore

    The cumbersome control passages also disturb the flow of the game rather than doing anything for Blacksad.

    It’s not a third expansion, just a well done mini-campaign. The adventure takes place in busy Westgate and some smaller areas, there is no world outside of the city walls. There are a lot of things to do, weird characters to meet and dialogues which even surpass the quality of the main game from time to time.

    Stolen Realm may not impress with its graphics and staging, but it does with its entertaining battles and a diverse roguelike mode.
    • 81 Metascore

    The time for original concepts and new genres is not over yet. Defense Grid: The Awakening is a highly motivating game, it's not easy, but not unfair and there are always new elements added to the game. There's no story and the controls are not perfect, but the game can still glue you to your chair for days.

    Simulation with an unusual zombie scenario, which nevertheless leaves many opportunities untapped.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Charming and colourful pixel action-adventure with a lot of heart, solid combat and puzzle dungeons, yet apparent deficiencies in the narrative pace.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It's not as good as Mount & Blade: Warband. There may be a story driven campaign, but less complexity. The captain mode isn't what it's meant to be and there are still some bugs to fix. And there are better and free mods, so why pay for that one?

    Recore is a refreshing mix of platformer and shooter at heart, but also an action adventure that suffers from too much slack.

    At release, Stormgate is not as extensive as promised, but it is still a much better RTS than it was at the start of Early Access.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Good Formula One racing sim, but with lots of wasted potential regarding features, penalties and damage midel.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It's extremely detailed - a bane for casual gamers, a bliss for expert gamers.

    Decent medieval strategy with turn-based battles and a pleasant soundtrack. However, the low budget is somewhat noticeable.

    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.

    Virtual Tipp-Kick using mouse clicks, an insider tip for soccer fans, ideal and entertaining for quick games.

    Despite a very atmospheric world and fun basic idea it requires a huge amount of grind and is suitable especially for players with a lot of patience.

    An exciting mix of construction sim and real-time strategy, which unfortunately forgoes depth for this balancing act.

    Where Origins and especially Odyssey still had a clear mission towards roleplaying, Valhalla seems like a half-hearted step backwards. Yes, there is now real action again, and deadly sneaking. Yes, in its best moments Valhalla has exactly what I want from an Assassin's Creed. But instead of focusing on the highlights, Ubisoft buries the strengths of the game under boring open world stuff.

    We Are Football succeeds in carrying over the strengths of the old soccer management games into 2021, but it fails to develop them further.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Solid multipayer battles with huge space ships. Plays with a leisurely speed, but suffers from lack of players.
