    I hate this game. And I love it. No other game managed to motivate me so often to have another go. But the crashes and some unfair situations are frustrating.

    Being in the hands of several developers and publishers is usually bad for a game, but not this time. Codename Panzers is surprisingly good and the missions are designed brilliantly. If you don't need to be in the thick of it and prefer controlling highly specialized units, then this Cold War is for you.

    With great quests and an even greater world Elex turns out to be the best game by Piranha Bytes since Gothic 2, but inherits the flaws of the latter.

    Martyr catches the original theme stylistically well, but fails due to generic gameplay and the weak story.

    Call of Cthulhu is no classic horror game, but a clever detective game with an exciting plot and a great atmosphere.

    The huge world of FUEL is fascinating, but not much more than just a backdrop. There should be better reasons to drive around for 30 minutes than just unlocking a new paint job for your car.

    A motivating and visually appealing bus game for beginners, which will make hardcore simulation fans gasp.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A game like a blockbuster movie: nicely done, quickly forgotten. Neither story nor characters are parts of a meaningful whole, but it's good action entertainment anyway.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    Monotonous tactical battles without depth, combined with a rudimentary building part and repetitive missions.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    This solo work demonstrates that a linear shooter campaign can be as entertaining as the largest open-world.

    Surviving the Aftermath offers sound building sim gameplay, but it loses a lot of potential due to grind and missing content.

    The basic gameplay is always the same: send your fleet to the east, sell your goods, buy goods, send the fleet home and repeat. Except for a sea battle from time to time, there's not enough diversity, no special missions, no hidden areas, no buried treasures.

    Splendid strategy surprise with gripping campaign and minor flaws.

    • 76 Critic Score
    The varied, but technically tame action-adventure appeals to Souls-like beginners. It also offers a refreshing ageing system and puzzles.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    An exciting mix of construction sim and real-time strategy, which unfortunately forgoes depth for this balancing act.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Alone in the Dark is not particularly good as a shooter, but it does a lot right as an excellently designed puzzler.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Codemasters couldn't deliver a decent military simulation, so it just created a gane that's meant to be funny and entertaining. Don't expect an alternative to games like ARMA, but it's still a good game, just not a very good one.

    We Are Football succeeds in carrying over the strengths of the old soccer management games into 2021, but it fails to develop them further.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    Solid oldschool turn based tactics game, based on the Netflix series. Lacks any highlights, both gameplay- or storywise.

    Although Killing Floor 3 is a well staged co-op shooter, it still lacks variety and a lot of polish before its release.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Challenging rally simulation with Loeb bonus, but inferior to Dirt Rally in all aspects.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An atmospheric police patrol simulator with promising elements, yet it never truly evolves beyond the daily grind of police life.

    Age of Mythology is a good game. Even today. The mission design is still exciting, the balance between the people and the units is true, and thanks to the numerous combinations of gods and nations, there is always something new to try.

    Quantum Break is an action experience with great presentation, but on PC it doesn't look as spectacular as on Xbox One.

    More of the same, but still very entertaining. Who would have thought that musicals and hell fit so well into the Saints Row universe?

    LEGO Horizon Adventures has less depth than the original, but makes up for it with humor and a creative blockbuster world.

    The right game for beginners: uncomplicated and remarkably entertaining tennis. Just press start, lean back and have fun.
