    Graphics and sound aren't that important in a turn baesd strategy game, but the problem with this game is the bad AI. It's still fun, but without long term motivation.

    The same game thrice? That doesn't work and that's a shame. Maybe that's why this game has been released without great announcements.

    On the one hand, there are the open world and the freedom to do what you want to do, on the other hand, the world is lifeless. It's a great game for some people, but the opposite for most.

    The series continues after 15 years and it's true to it's predecessors. That's good and bad at the same time. It's a colorful slapstick adventure, but today a game like this needs a real story, characters and some more functions. But it's still very funny and original.

    The technically moldy Left-4-Dead clone is entertaining with the right team, but tries too hard.

    The purchase is basically only worthwhile if you have not played the predecessor yet...This lack of innovation is all the more disappointing for me because the developers of Undead Labs had originally planned their game as a zombie MMO, where we were to fight with hundreds of players on a map together for survival. And now, instead, they deliver a mediocre co-op mode.

    If there's a game that deserves to be called "old school", this is it. There's hardly a change in gameplay and the graphics are out of date, too. The most remarkable thing about this game is the fact that they actually finished it.

    Cossacks 3 is a disappointing remake of the first installment with new graphics and lots of very old bugs.

    If you like those kind of games, it's probably the best of the last 25 years. It's a game of extremes, the graphics are simply annoying, but it can keep you playing one level for a whole day.

    Gripping point and click adventure with some unintuitive moments and an unsatisfactory conclusion.

    Above all, Forges of Corruption gives you more Warhammer: Boltgun, but lacks any innovation.

    Republic of Pirates can pass as an Anno for beginners and pirate fans, but is too trivial for construction sim professionals.

    Change sides: In this RPG with base building and turn-based battles, you play cute goblins - but game design flaws spoil the good mood.

    What did 49 Games do during winter? Summer Athletics didn't change a lot compared to last year. Presentation, the frugal graphic and the disciplines only show slight signs of further development. It's still fun with when playing with others.

    The underwhelming release version of a shooter classic that shines mainly thanks to its mercilessly realistic atmosphere.

    A Vampyre Story creates a wonderful atmosphere, looks good and is very detailed, but the open end and the riddles change the picture a lot. There are not enough hints, but far too many pointless interactions. The game requires a lot of patience, which kills the fun playing it.

    The action fan in me is entertained sumptuously by the brutal battles and the beefy revenge story.
    • 73 Metascore

    At the core it's a solid strategy game but almost nothing is better or different. Less innovation than FIFA or Call of Duty.

    The quality of the Rainbox Six-series has reached an all-time low. The AI opponents don't take cover properly and then don't even realize when they are hit. The story doesn't seem to be connected to Rainbow Six: Vegas and some scenes in the game are simply absurd. It feels like Vegas 2 was made out of bits and pieces that didn't make it through quality control when the predecessor was made. Great controls and game mechanics can't save the game from being mediocre.

    Battlestations Pacific looks nice, but that doesn’t help if the rest of the game is just plain boring. Every mission plays like the last one, there’s no rise in difficulty and no real connection between the missions. After playing the game for a few hours you’ll ask yourself “What’s the point?”

    Story and atmosphere make the new Black Mirror worthwhile, but the reboot of the series lacks gameplay substance.

    Silent Hunter has all ingredients to be a thrilling historical submarine simulation. But there are so many bugs and flaws that most of the fun is drowning.

    A lot of fun for Ghostbusters fans and nostalgists, but it runs out of breath in the long run.

    Very accessible Soulslike with an intriguing setting, yet it suffers from technical issues and balancing flaws.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Very similar to its predecessor, and the protagonist truly is an unpleasant one - but the flower power action remains entertaining.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    An atmospheric role-playing experience made with genuine passion, that unfortunately falls short due to technical flaws and a clunky combat system.
    • 72 Metascore

    Stargate Timekeepers is a decent representative of the genre, but can only hold its own against the competition because of its license.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    A colorful hommage to Warcraft, made for rushes only, with little tactical depth and the stupid AI sucks.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    We expected much more from this game. It's a bit short with just 12 hours from start to finish, but it has a certain charm. It's fun to play around with abilities and upgrades and the story is entertaining, but the game itself is just slaughter and violence with a lack of variety.
