    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?

    Absurdly rectacular: Genital Jousting presents itself as a satisfying quickie.

    The hotseat mode manages to capture the boardgame atmosphere for a fair price. But don't expect a complex strategy game.

    Explosive open-world spectacle in the form of a playable B-movie. Graphical weaknesses and boring missions lower the score for Just Cause 4.

    This one is hard to judge. It's annoying to play the same mission again and again and not being able to advance or when AI soldiers ignore orders. But then the careful planning and being able to finally complete a mission after several tries... that's very satisfying.

    Yes, just like in 2001 this game can be fun and will be remembered for consequently reducing the game until there’s nothing left but shooting things. In a way, that’s simple and honest and worth playing – once. This is a modern version, but graphically not up to date.

    If you like exploring, this is for you. If you prefer survival games, don't expect too much.

    Inspired by the classic Alpha Centauri, it looks like a modern version at first glance, but lacks the depth and long term motivation.

    Old-school trading simulation with clumsy handling. The real-time sea battles of the predecessors have been replaced with turn based combat.

    Technically great upgrade of an average action game.

    Rogue Mage demonstrates why Gwent and roguelikes are not a good combination.

    Entertaining indie JRPG with a great combat system, adorable characters and some immature game mechanics.

    Even though Ice Age 3 is definitely targeting a very young audience, it is still fun to jump through the levels. But it lacks the funny bits – except for Scrat – and the story of the movie. Still, it's one of the better licensed games out there and probably worth a try if you're looking for a game for the kids.

    Co-op buccaneers will have fun with Sea of Thieves, but without a character development and more variety regarding missions the hunt for treasures gets boring quickly.

    This spinoff doesn't need to hide in the shadows of the other titles of the series. This stealth 2D platformer is very motivating with diverse gameplay.

    Great mud-parcours for fans of enormous green diesel monsters - needs a bit more "game" though.

    It takes two or three hours until the game really takes off, but then the thrilling story with lots of objectives unfolds with nightmarish drama. The inventory system is one of the dumbest every created, but if you like thrilling adventures you should give it a go.

    Offering battles for magical artifacts on nine different battlefields, Microsofts multi-player shooter is the first game to bring PC- and console-gamers together, - driving both of them crazy, while charging for it.

    Fight, level up, explore, conquer, build. Even after 20 years this still manages to glue you to the screen. Incredible.
