    The game design is completely outdated, but you get a lot of old-school Tomb Raider for your bucks!

    Technically great upgrade of an average action game.

    We did not expect much from this game to begin with – its predecessor only achieved 44 out of 100 points. The second part is clearly better, but that still means nothing more than mediocrity because it fails in areas like AI, mission design and long term motivation.

    My Baby balla balla: The Mother Simulator delivers pure trash humor - in both positive and negative senses.

    An unusual idea with an intriguing setting, but immature mechanics.

    Years ago Turok was an instant hit on game consoles. But today on PC things are different. The controls are probably the worst of all console-to-PC conversions and not editable. It's not possible to save the game freely and save points are so rare, it almost feels like the developers want you to give up. Turok fails in level design and game controls, but we've played it until the end because it tells an interesting story.

    A bee’s life can be a bit boring, but it’s a touching interactive story.

    Rise of Industry does not live up to its own claim of "having enough strategic complexity and replay value" "to satisfy the most experienced fans of the genre" (quotations from the developers).

    Legend of Dungeon is not a bad game. It's just terribly unoriginal and uncomfortable. It's fun anyway, because the basic principle works. However, I can also get much more successful in other games.

    It's fun to play with a friend in co-op mode for an hour or two, but the game lacks the content to be interessting for much longer. Once you are really into it, it already ends. More diversity and a broader range of possible tactics would have been nice.

    Apart from the over-the-top hero management, Darkspore feels like an unfinished torso of a game. Killing a few monsters and picking up items isn't enough for a game in 2011. Leaving out a story, dialogues, real quests and good level design killed of the fun, too.

    Martyr catches the original theme stylistically well, but fails due to generic gameplay and the weak story.

    Torchlight 3 is not worthy of its name. Exploring the game world is worth zero. Where have all the side missions gone? The transformations for my pet? The fight with two one-handed weapons? Why are there no more jewel sockets and why do I have to collect rat shit in a main quest? This game is monotonous, generic and soulless. If you just turn off your brain for an hour or two, you can still get in here. But if you want more for your money, you're in the wrong place.

    Accessible, humorous text adventure with solid puzzles and pleasant comfort features. It was fun to play something showing the hand of the genre master Bob Bates.

    If you like puzzles, this may be for you. If you want some Kafka, stay away.

    Short free campaign for fixed co-op groups and fans of the source material, but unusable for solo players and full of balance problems.
    • 64 Metascore

    A solid core of action and an entertaining fight mechanics can't save the game from being mediocre.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Uninspired, boring endgame expansion that is difficult to recommend even to hardcore fans of the main game.

    The laying of tram tracks and overhead lines is so complicated that I'd rather build five bus lines as a single tram line, even if it's humbug economically.

    The courier action game was fun at the start, but has quite a few flaws and suffers significantly from the increasingly tonally unfitting story.

    The stealth brawler offers a fresh setting, yet quickly loses its appeal due to shallow gameplay mechanics and lack of enemy variety.

    The actionpacked battles are fun for a while, but story, quests and the whole MMO part of the game are tiresome.

    • 59 Critic Score
    A disappointing sequel that sacrifices stealth mechanics in favour of tedious co-op missions.

    I myself was surprised at how negative this test was.

    Such small inconsistencies fade before an embarrassing overall picture that Colonial Marines delivers: an ugly, poorly voiced and narrated lousy 0815-shooter.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    It's not a bad game, but it has no soul. It's sterile and doesn't stir up any emotions due to the nameless, disposable characters. It's still fun for a short time, though.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    What remains is a fatal vortex of wasted opportunities.
