    The Godfather II
    The game feels like it came out a few years too late. GTA is much more modern in every way, but the strategy elements are unique and can be a lot of fun. On the other hand, the game is far too violent. That some opponents are immortal except when brutally executed just serves one purpose: voyeurism - and plays into the hands of people asking for video games to be banned.

    REANIMAL
    Reneimal is a horror fairy tale that captivates with its atmosphere, but leaves much of its potential untapped in terms of puzzles and co-op play.

    Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
    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.

    Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods
    It looks like JoWood didn't learn much from releasing a bug-ridden Gothic 3 game. The new add-on is full of bugs, too. But even without them, the game wouldn't be as good as the other recently released RPGs. At least the quest and the story are well done.

    Theatre of War 2: Africa 1943
    Immortal soldiers, attacking tanks with a pistol? Not in this game. Theatre of War 2 simulates battles between Germany, England and the USA with realistic weapons, true to their WW2 originals. If you are looking for a realistic simulation, here it is.

    Maquette
    An adventure game with fresh puzzle mechanics and a well-expressed love story, which, however, inadequately connects both elements.

    Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, Episode 1: Fright of the Bumblebees
    On average, Fright of the Bumble Bees is as good as Telltale's Sam & Max adventures: a lot of humor, great dialogue and a charming style. But experienced adventure players may find the puzzles to easy and the game too short. It's still good value and we're looking forward to the other three parts.

    Dakar 18
    That's why it's all the more annoying that the game cannot decide what it wants to be in the end. For an Arcade racer with offroad attitude it is too complex, for a race simulation the physics are too exaggerated, the control too spongy and the navigation too imprecise.

    Mini Ninjas
    Six little ninjas have to save animals and fight an evil samurai warlord. Each of the ninjas has its own special ability, like stopping time, playing a flute to slow down enemies or use a hammer to smash opponents. It's a simple game but it's a lot of fun.

    Dungeons: The Dark Lord
    It's an interesting idea, a setting full of humor and clearly influenced by the classic Dungeon keeper. A great mix on paper, but in reality the lack of balancing is annoying.

    E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy
    It's no masterpiece, but full of surprises. It may take some time to get into the game, but the different ways to progress in the game are motivating.

    Sacred 3
    Entertaining, but shallow co-op and not really a successor to the RPG series.

    The Night of the Rabbit

    The Technomancer
    A low budget action RPG set on Mars, with lots of good ideas, but also with some quirks and problems.

    Shadowrun
    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.

    Insane 2
    Insane 2 develops all his fun-potential only in multiplayer mode, at least in the abstract. De facto I detect a fellow player on the abandoned servers only in exceptional cases. My advice: Just organize a LAN party once again, as it used to be. Then Insane 2 becomes a guaranteed life of the party.

    Disciples: Liberation
    A lot of content, yet too easy for pros. Disciples enthusiasts better prepare for some adjustments.

    Project Hospital
    Complex, serious hospital simulation with building, management and diagnostic part. The fun hides behind a bumpy start.

    The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria
    Return to Moria tickles the Middle Earth nerve of every fan, but overstretches your patience with comfort shortcomings and technical problems.

    Alter Ego (2010)
    Alter Ego offers a thrilling story combined with simple puzzles. If you are willing to accept a lot of walking around and old-fashioned graphics you'll be rewarded with an entertaining game.

    F.E.A.R. 3
    The game still kind of works because of the KI and the good controls, but that doesn't make up for bad level design and presentation. Alma doesn't cause fear anymore, she's just annoying.

    Order of War
    Order of War is like a popcorn war: fast and tasty, a nice little snack, but not a full meal. It's too easy for veterans and not impressive enough for casual gamers. But if you are looking for occasional fast battles, it's a good choice. It won't get less complicated than this.

    Sundered
    Solid mix of Metroidvania and roguelike with epic boss battles, but often very conservative and sometimes slow-moving.

    Zombie Army Trilogy
    The single player missions are very similar, but in coop this game is extremely entertaining.

    Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series
    Autentic interactions with the main characters of the series can't change the fact that there's no real freedom of choice and that kills the fun in the end.
    • 63 Metascore

    Disney Alice in Wonderland
    It’s more than just a simple game with a move license. The crazy game world is filled with good gameplay ideas, so it‘s easy to ignore the flaws.
