    Intense but challenging action spectacle that rewards you with unforgettable experiences if you're willing to fight your way through.

    Immersive survival horror in a lively island idyll, whose half-baked story presentation doesn't keep up with its other qualities.

    esperados 3 is simply staged staggeringly: The Western atmosphere is tight for editing, I can experiment tactically with the five characters, sneak through almost completely or occasionally incite shootings. My heroes comment on the action, and with a few exceptions, the behavior of the opponents is logical and understandable. I even fail because I always know what was wrong and can optimize accordingly. This is what modern real-time tactics must look like. Be sure to play it.

    Pony Island is a very entertaining experience full of constant surprises and funny things.

    After playing hundreds of hours there is one thing we can say for sure: this is a good MMO, a very good one, maybe even the best. It offers great quests and great PvP and the fact that both help to gain levels is very motivating. Technically, the graphics are not that good, but landscapes and other places are full of details.

    This is one of the best sports games of all time, even better than the predecessor. Improvements like the new physics make the game even more authentic than before.

    Dead Space is great entertainments for adults, not only because of the amount of gore and horror, but also because of the enthralling story with some nice twists. It's impressive how well pictures, dialogues and sound work together to form a cinema-like atmosphere.

    An authentic remake of the classic role-playing game with impressive technology, but it's missing more than two-thirds of the original's content.

    Is the game a flop? Absolutely not. PUBG inspires me - even in its current state. There are only a few games in which I am so energized from the first to the last minute of a match. Playing a round with friends and then doing well leads to a fantastic feeling. Quite subjectively, PUBG is a great game. But objectively there is still a lot it's gotten wrong.

    Passionately produced role-playing game with wonderful character development and fun, but simplistic turn-based battles.

    Thrilling and diverse multiplayer battles and a campaign with great gameplay - a real titan of the FPS genre.

    In its current state, Core Keeper is no replacement for Terraria or Minecraft. [...] That, however, doesn't make Core Keeper a bad game, quite the opposite. [Early Access review]

    It's seems a bit like heresy compared to other games of the genre. But Bliizard found a way to make it easier to get into the game without taking away the fun. Simple to learn, hard to master.

    I would have liked a bit more variety.

    A lot of the usual equipment is missing, which doesn't matter too much because of the great atmosphere. But in the long run after getting all the gold medals, we'll go back to the main game.

    That’s how a sequel should be done. There’s a better story and a much more charming hero. Even the few flaws of the game can’t hurt the great overall impression.

    An exemplary remaster of a classic shooter which is still a milestrone of the genre as far as gameplay is concerned.

    Anyone who works their way through and does not expect too much eye-candy will be rewarded with a complex football manager that will keep you motivated for months.

    A classic, stylishly updated, for a fair price. Even without the nostalgia bonus it's a great adventure full of humor and weird characters.

    Honestly, right now I feel like exploring the last corners of Greece as soon as I'm done, after writing the article...And that's always a very good sign for a game.

    In the last generation of consoles, I only had tears in my eyes twice. During the Yuriko quest from Ghost of Tsushima. And the credits of Cyberpunk. Think of that wistful stomach ache when you finish your favorite book for the first time. All the great characters, the heartwarming experiences, the strokes of fate, the funny coincidences rattle past your inner eye once again. It will never be the same as the first time. You would love to have your memory erased by a Ripperdoc so that you can relive it all. That's what Cyberpunk 2077 does to me. And probably with you too.

    Dirt Rally is the best rally simulation at the moment and one of the best racing games of all time. Beginners will find it to be quite difficult.

    Fast and thrilling matches, precise controles - Rocket League is a multiplayer heavyweight. Server problems are testing your patience though.

    In F1 2021, Codemasters expands the strengths of the predecessor and only slips up small with Braking Point.

    Immortal Pillars is a worthy China expansion that only lacks some really outstanding moments.

    The Talos Principle manages to mix its philosophical groundwork with the story. It also has great and rewarding puzzles.

    Skylines has already exceeded my high expectations.

    Timberborn isn’t the prettiest or most exciting city-building game, but it’s great fun to tinker with.

    This is not only a Need for Speed how it should be, it's also a nod to the best part of the series. What a car park! Those car chases! And the rush of speed. And online it's even better.
