    There'd be nothing wrong with the “more of the same” approach of this DLC, if only the story didn't feel so incomplete.

    Star Wars: Dark Forces does a lot right in its remaster, but also wastes a lot of potential

    Painting by numbers in Stellaris. The latest DLC is a must-have only for the passionate psionics.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Space strategy game with massive and vibrant galaxies, enormously motivating - if you can overcome the high entry hurdle.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    60 Parsecs sometimes feels unfair, but because of the entertaining adventure-survival-mix you always want to try again.

    Fishing: Barents Sea has plenty of idle time, but also cool ideas - and is anything but a sea cucumber.

    Europa Universalis 5 is brilliant, but still very buggy.

    Crossing Souls is a fun nostalgic walk through the 80s, but it lacks its own personality.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Interesting city builder concept with a political focus, but it lacks information and fine tuning.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not as huge as Supreme Commander and not as fast as Star Craft, but it doesn't want to be. But without a single player campaign there's something missing.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Great mud-parcours for fans of enormous green diesel monsters - needs a bit more "game" though.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gravel offers arcade racing fun at a high level, but can't quite compete with games like Dirt 4 or Forza Horizon 3.

    In its best moments, Ark is the dream game of every Dino fan. But bugs and the grind-based game-mechanics often spoil the fun.

    Nebuchadnezzar is a solid economic simulation game that lacks inspiration. Solely the choice of setting is remarkable.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Even fans of the original should expect more here.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    A nice little build-a-vault-game, great for spending a little time. But it lacks the depth to be motivating in the long term.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Whole levels look like they've been done between first and second breakfast. The name seems appropiate though - the sloppyness and laziness of execution may cause players to black out.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Brutal action shooter with a complex combat system and some flaws in balancing, storytelling and technology.
    • 66 Metascore

    Starship Troopers: Terran Command makes many missteps in basic RTS virtues. Still, it's fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Nostalgic, entertaining shooter experience with a clear vision of what it wants to be. Sadly the game falls apart its second half.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Thrilling turn based strategy with a fresh setting, at least at the beginning. The half-baked combat system disappoints despite time-travel manipulations.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Beginners will have fun playing the game, more experienced players will be more challenged by the imprecise controls than by the opponents. Technically the game is years behind the competition.

    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.

    The skill system still seems fresh, the battles run smoothly. And in the bizarre and brutal world of Fable I felt I was always at home. A worthy HD update to celebrate the 10 years anniversary, with a few technical problems.

    Jagged Alliance Light: Only four controllable mercenaries, small maps and comic graphics - but if you don't expect Jagged 3, you'll get solid tactics.

    The fifth episode of the series is shocking PC gamers - with long distances to cover and stupid riddles to solve. It still has some well done horror moments to offer, but it's not as creepy as the earlier episodes. A lot of effects were just copied over, so instead of being scary they cause the feeling of "been there, done that".

    Don't expect this game to be a remake of the classic Mad TV game or you'll be disappointed. It may look similar, but some key elements of the classic game are missing. So it's just a solid simulation game.
