Biomutant is an open-world with (too) many original ideas, none of which really work.

The tactical shootouts are very entertaining.

Diverse arcade racer with an impressively huge game world, but the enormous potential isn't used enough.

Rise of Venice hasn't been built from scratch but compared to Port Royale 3 it comes with added politics, a 3D map and adjustments in all the right spots. It's a classic trading sim where everything works together extremely well and it will keep you busy for weeks.

To put it politely, we can say that the idea behind Achilles: Legends Untold is quite interesting and that theoretically it could still become a good game. At the moment, however, it's so heavily half-baked and unfinished. [Early Access Review]

Entertaining amusement park manager with extensive roller coaster construction and encouraging upgrade system. Accessibility is more important than realism.

The Japanese RPG surprises with challenging tactical battles and an almost stereotype-free and thrilling story. The excellent PC conversion offers more than a hundred hours of playing time, several small enhancements compared to the console version and runs fine on mid-range PCs.

It’s shorter, shows less creativity in mission design than its predecessor and still has all the problems that showed up with the first Lego game in 2005. It’s still fun in co-op mode, though, but the next Lego game should be done from scratch.

The initially gripping chases lose their effect quickly. When I hear the very well-written dialogues in comparison, I would rather spend much more time with Ada, Tesla and Co. and learn more about them.

The essentially well-made VR shooter borrows from the Medal of Honor classics, yet shows flaws in its execution.

Heist shooter with a captivating stealth system. Sadly the game is hardly more than a basic framework and also struggles with severe server problems.

The paradoxical bottom line: The Settlers: Rise of an Empire is a diversified and motivating game, not because of it's innovations, but in spite of them.

Less story, action and poor characters, but a larger area to explore and lots of fights. Maybe that's what you are looking for, but a thrilling story and diverse quests would have been better.

A mediocre gameplay forces the player to wait a lot and this overshadows the great decision making.

It’s a unique but half-baked attempt to convert the Star Trek license into an online game. For Star Trek fans this game is still something very special, but it will need regular updates to keep the players motivated.

During the first four chapters, almost everything about Dark Sector is wrong: Boring levels, boring weapons and complicated controls. After he commits a murder for no apparent reason even the main character becomes unlikeable. It all gets better later on, but there's a lot of wasted potential.

I was so looking forward to the sequel of the surprise hit King Arthur, because the conditions were all present: a predecessor with awesome expandable ideas, a thought-out mix of RPG and strategy, nice-looking presentation, a fresh, well-formulated scenario and airworthy units, which are yet not overpowering. But what happens? Like so many other titles, King Arthur 2 releases in the market in a completely immature state. Persistent fans can take delight in playing it, but only with a stubborn will. But I'm tired of struggling through crashes, plot-stoppers and judder-performance. Actually, I appreciate Paradox as sympathetic niche publisher of games offside the mainstream. But nothing is squandered as fast as sympathy and confidence. So please, Paradox: from now on no more hasty reactions.

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

Brutal action-RPG, combat system and setting are cool, but there's no complex character development, end game nor an exciting story.

Firing missiles from a large distance you'll only see yellow squares and triangles disappear. But close up you'll experience dog fights, explosions and the speed rush of low level flight.

With its huge amount of drones, Drone Swarm offers an innovative idea, but apart from that it feels very unfinished.

Detective work with the three vampire protagonists is entertaining even without combat, as long as you can dodge the balance traps.

Quotation forthcoming.

Impressive city builder with great details, that'll often have players at a loss because of it's nontransparent mechanics.
