    Dynasty Warriors 9
    The concept of fusing open world and Musou is interesting, but it misses the mark due to poor performance and numerous bugs.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dark Void
    Despite the name it’s neither dark nor empty and not even filled with lots of fun, either. Sure, it’s fun for some time, but doing the same things over and over again, using the same weapons in levels that are very similar, too. It could have been much better, now it’s just a mediocre game.

    SOL: Exodus
    Quotation forthcoming.

    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest
    The basic idea behind Conquest is cool: play the largest battles from Lord of the Rings from the perspective of a soldier. The out-of-date graphics, bad class balance and stubborn controls would be no problem if this was a mod for Battlefront or Battlefield, but this is a full price game. The only thing worthy of the big license is the soundtrack and that's available for less.

    Airline Tycoon 2
    This one really is old-fashioned in all areas. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the controls are and keep the game from being a business simulation that we could recommend.

    Armikrog
    A beautiful world, but the puzzles are very simple. No masterpiece, but still a great experience.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Of Ash and Steel
    An atmospheric tribute to old-school RPGs, but currently overambitious and unfinished.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Game of Thrones: Kingsroad
    Annoying mobile mechanics and omnipresent microtransactions leave a solid role-playing game no room to breathe.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Nether
    Online shooter of average quality that doesn't feel like it's finished yet.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    The First Templar
    Here and there it's possible to see that the developers really tried to deliver a decent game, but for some reason they couldn't. A sword fighting game that doesn't include good fighting animations is just as pointless as a racing game without physics or damage.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Legend: Hand of God
    Legend doesn't offer many new things, but if you can't be better than Diablo, you can at least try to create a good copy. In the case of Legand, this was a wise choice.

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2
    Not so amazing after all. Technically, it a catastrophe. It you really love Spidey, you may like it to some degree.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Fort Solis
    Atmospheric mystery thriller with first-class actors, a great story and unfortunately too little playing time.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Disciples III: Renaissance
    This new installment adds a few new and fresh ideas as well as some annoyances, but for all of it little quirks, Disciples 3 is still a great game for fans of turn-based fantasy strategy games.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The Technomancer
    A low budget action RPG set on Mars, with lots of good ideas, but also with some quirks and problems.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood
    The stealth brawler offers a fresh setting, yet quickly loses its appeal due to shallow gameplay mechanics and lack of enemy variety.

    Base One
    Base One cannot (yet) exhaust its actual potential due to various problems.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Perception
    Innovative but quite repetitive horror adventure. Blindness as game mechanic is fascinating, but can't really shine.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Cralon
    An atmospheric dungeon crawler for fans of the genre who can overlook the combat system's shortcomings.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    Pirates of Black Cove
    There's just one basic problem with Pirates of Black Cove: the developers forgiot to deliver a game. What's the point of all the items and upgrades if nothing really makes a difference?
    • 56 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Bound by Flame
    It's one of those games that is just ok. It's fun, but not thrilling or clever.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    DreamWorks Shrek Forever After
    Don't forget to read the small print or else you'll get in trouble like Shrek. What may be the last of the Shrek games is also the best, at least for younger gamers, because it's not a very demanding game.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Elite: Dangerous - Odyssey
    Unfinished, overpriced, void and technically weak expansion with inferior gameplay.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Sniper: Ghost Warrior
    A thrilling first person shooter with some flaws. If it wasn't for those unnecessary action interludes it would have been much better and probably even a great game.

    • 55 Metascore

    Monochroma
    Another case of "would have been much better with more fine tuning". The botched controls and some bugs are annoying.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 43 Critic Score
    Zack Zero
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Outpost: Infinity Siege
    The actually good concept is mercilessly drowned in a flood of poor game design choices and flawed programming.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Iron Front: Liberation 1944
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Alone in the Dark (2008)
    Alone in the Dark is a perfect example of how to stage games: a story with twists, fantastic scripts and interesting characters. It could be a great cocktail of action and horror, but it comes with a bad aftertaste. Every minute obvious design errors can be observed. This could have been avoided with two more months of development time. Players who are easily frustrated should wait until patches fix the problems.
