    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.

    Warfighter is well-made, has been set elaborately staged and looks good enough to eat in places. However, I constantly feel we have been through the whole spectacle in three dozen other shooters.

    An old school business simulation with a lot of comic-like flair and lots of planning, optimizing and expanding. Could use more variety.

    Saw
    This action adventure is just like the movies: dark, bloody and always copying itself. The villain of the game and his plots are the game’s greatest asset. But there’s not enough substance behind the great presentation.

    The delays before the launch of the game were a bad omen - and another delay would have been a good idea. The game feels like it has been taken away from the developer before it was finished, but released nontheless.

    It has strong points like stealth gameplay and co-op, but all in all it's just average. A focus on stealth would have been better.

    At the core it's a game full of potential but it will need lots of patches for lots of technical problems.

    Lousy open-world roguelite with a sterile, lifeless game world, weak combat and ridiculously little content.

    New Alliances demolishes everything the series has previously built.

    Unknown 9 is not the latest action blockbuster, but it is an entertaining mix of stealth, action, mysticism and story.

    The concept of Metal Gear Survive works, but some annoying mechanics and the soullessness diminish the fun.

    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 There's hardly a change in gameplay and the graphics are out of date, too.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.

    Behind the reasonably pretty shell Insomnia: The Ark consists of an unnecessarily complex core, for which fun is an unknown word.

    • 64 Critic Score
    The puzzles are boring after a while, the graphics are old-fashioned and even more annoying: the game tells what to do and when to do it. It's like Ma telling you how to build your sand castle.

    Action role-playing game with an inherently interesting story, yet it suffers from countless technical issues.

    The game mechanics are fundamentally broken.

    Even when wearing the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia one has to admit: Reincarnation just isn't a good game - but it's very faithful to the original.

    Prussian virtues like discipline and order aren’t much fun and turn-based battles like in Rise of Prussia aren’t much fun either. If you are very interested in the Seven Year war, then go for it, otherwise take a look at Napolean: Total War instead.

    A scantily clad woman with two blades and lots and lots of monsters, that sounds like an entertaining game, but turns out to be a laborious task. It's fun for one hour or so. But once you realize that there is nothing more to the game than fighting huge amounts of monsters in similar looking areas, it becomes annoyingly repetitive.

    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.

    Cooperative, grind-heavy sci-fi shooter with exciting ideas, which generates more frustration than pleasure with the current scope and condition it is in.

    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.

    • 69 Critic Score
    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.

    In theory, we're supposed to build a trucker empire - but numerous bugs and balance weaknesses slow down the fun.
