    Lots of retro feeling, small scale. Only real fans of the 80s' transformers will enjoy Devastation. Sorry kids, these are not the Transformers you're looking for.

    It's still a good hockey game, but all in all it's the same game sold four years in a row anyway. While EA Sports polishes the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, it neglects the PC version, e.g. it's impossible to change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and the maximum resolution is 1280x1024. Time for 2K Sports to step in with it's NHL 2k- series. It worked for NBA 2k9.

    Behind the beautiful Star Wars façade lurk fundamental design flaws, making Battlefront 2 a shooter that just barely manages to be good.

    Project Motor Racing offers a great lineup of cars and often looks fantastic, but falls short in terms of handling and AI.

    The creativity put into this game is more than enough for three games, but behind the art there's not much diversity. But we still wanted to know how the story ends.

    As much as I like the oppressive atmosphere of the Space Station in Observation, the game works effectively for me only in the moments when the game takes control of me and I am a passive observer.

    Atmospheric dino-adventure with great visuals, but a minuscule amount of content and a story without depth.

    Ambitious debut from Myrkur Games with a fascinating game world but a lack of polish.

    A little more intelligent AI would have made the stealth and evasion exciting passages, taking somewhat more precise control of some frustrating moments. However, Warp is a nice game, everyone should try this one, especially since it only costs ten euros.

    Let Them Trade convinces through its cozy construction gameplay and a good bit of tinkering, but it doesn't really offer much replay value.

    A mechanically solid, but also strangely artificial-looking DLC that mainly boosts your in-game bank account.

    It's one of those games that is just ok. It's fun, but not thrilling or clever.

    Nightreign is stressful, merciless and sometimes unfair, even for an Elden Ring. It's a shame, because there's a good game underneath.

    Both Star Wars classics are still fun today, but overall the collection offers very few new features.

    The first expansion for Red Alert 3 comes without a multiplayer mode. Producer Amer Ajani said there was need to care about game balance in single player missions. But in Uprising, some missions are highly frustrating and unfair, mainly because of the starting conditions and scripted encounters, others are almost boring. EA has gone too far disregarding game balance.

    Battlefield 2042 contains a great multiplayer shooter sandbox that is buried under half-baked game design, bugs and performance issues.
    • 75 Metascore

    A fast-paced mix of turn-based tactics and action elements. Partly confusing combat areas with cool events. Little tactical depth.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The turn-based campaigns and real-time battles are well intertwined - but it feels tough and cynical due to the lack of terrain gains.

    Imperium Romanum is fun, but it could have been so much better. There is no story to connect the varied missions -- that causes the game to feel lifeless and shallow. It's a shame, because it looks beautiful and is full of ideas, but fails in vital areas.

    A thoughtful overhaul of two classics that nevertheless leaves a lot of potential untapped.

    Great atmosphere, a great settings, heroes and villains built by the players - and still it's not enough for a great game. Most of the quests are too easy, usually it's no problem to fight opponents up to four levels above your own characters, so there's no need to group with other players. So why play an online game?

    Saw
    This action adventure is just like the movies: dark, bloody and always copying itself. The villain of the game and his plots are the game’s greatest asset. But there’s not enough substance behind the great presentation.

    Warhammer 40K meets Civilization, but focuses solely on warfare. Only for 40K fans who prefer gameplay to story.

    Stylish Shakedown: Hawaii hits the mark with its 16-bit look and great soundtrack. Retro GTA fans will also get a similar mix with the predecessor Retro City Rampage in the DX version - without grafted-up, ultimately unnecessary economic simulation elements.
