    Consistent continuation of the main game for better and for worse. Excellent characters and morbid humour, although it takes a lot of patience.

    • 87 Critic Score
    Excellent DLC that finally makes the long-neglected Soviet Union in Hearts of Iron 4 exciting to play.

    Who would have thought that an Early Access game these days would come onto the market in a more complete state than some of the triple-A blockbusters. Bugs and glitches are negligible and are fixed remarkably prompt. Myth of Empires is an exciting project, which, especially at its full release, could shake up the genre. [Early Access]

    The potential of this survival game, with what is probably the most realistic water physics to date, is indeed enormous. [Early Access]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Beginner-friendly tavern building sim with a lot going on, yet little depth. Okay for a while, too repetitive in the long run.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Easygoing building sim for production chain aficionados, which, however, suffers from campaign flaws and a lack of long-term stimulus.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Exciting and fiddly building sim à la Factorio, yet not quite as sober and technical. Emphasis on transporting goods. Caution: addictive!
    • tbd Metascore

    There's not a whole lot in Warno's Early Access version yet, but what's there is actually fun and prompts genuine anticipation. [Early Access review]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The DLC sets the wrong priorities and, despite its interesting story, annoys with overly complicated puzzles.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The add-on brings a lot of new content but is not a mandatory purchase. Update 5.0 is much more important.
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Anno plus Cities: Skylines results in an identity crisis. [Early Access Review]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Technically flimsy CRPG with a dense atmosphere and exciting tactical battles. The story and characters are replaceable.
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Wrecked buildings have never looked fancier.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The DLC lacks a bit of depth, especially in Sandbox mode, but this is compensated by the challenging Scenario.
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    What exists so far is excellent, no question about it, but you must be really starved for tactical RPGs if this very early version of the game is worth a whopping 20 euros to you. [Early Access Review]

    • 66 Critic Score
    The interactive solo adventure Wolves on the Westwind is a solid experience for fans, though only for them.
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    The individual game components are too unfinished, the controls are too uncomfortable and the campaign is too boring. Now, the crucial question is: Can Sea of Craft turn things around within its Early Access phase? [Early Access Review]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    In the end, it could actually become anything in between a total failure and a big hit. [Early Access Review]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Heroes of the Aegean DLC is an ideal re-entry point for anyone who hasn't played Old World in a while.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 51 Critic Score
    The third instalment of the series is better than its predecessor, but it still has a lot of room for improvement.
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    It combines Anno islands with Factorio automatisms - and that's addictive! [Early Access Review]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Clanfolk isn't as good as Rimworld yet, but it's not missing much. [Early Access review]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The Metal Terror DLC promises more of Riftbreaker and it delivers without getting overly creative.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Aerofly FS 4 is perfect for stress-free flying but it requires a willingness to compromise.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Dragon Forge lacks depth; expect idleness and tasks with little variety. Unfortunately just average.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Desktopia is neither a pure building sim nor an actual idle game, and it falls short somewhere in between.
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    In this railway construction game, the challenging route planning is particularly convincing. But there is still a lot to do before full release. [Early Access Review]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Sapiens joins the now quite a long list of promising building sims in Early Access, which are still a long way from completion. [Early Access Review]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A relaxed clicker game that unobtrusively conveys knowledge about evolution on earth and the history of humankind.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The airship DLC primarily enhances the New World, but it also grants enormous population upgrades to other regions.
