    Blizzard relentlessly addresses all points of criticism of Dragonflight and significantly improves the experience for casual players

    Although the game degenerates into quite a grind after the completion of the first series of missions, the procedurally generated worlds and the friendly community provide enough variety for long enough.

    The loading times and the occasional stuttering took off visibly on my nerves after 40 to 50 hours. That, together with the still not perfect enemy AI, may be criticism at a high level, but ultimately prevents Wasteland 3 from becoming a great role-playing game - you have to be satisfied with a very good one.

    I have a lot of fun with the puzzles, most are wonderfully tricky, but still logical.

    Yes, Inquisition is an all around excellent game...A beautiful fantastic world, a great roleplaying game - but not as good as Dragon Age: Origins

    Its a funny adventure with a great narrative and will entertain Borderland fans and new players alike.

    Zelda's great adventure is packed with beautiful stories. A highlight for every Switch collection! However, we have to lower our score because of technical issues: the heavily fluctuating frame rate, especially in docked mode, spoils the fun.

    Greater than Starfield's ambitions is only the RPG's wasted potential. It still is a fun space trip, though.

    The brute battles, the use of role-playing elements and the fast multi-play mode are exciting, but as far as mission design, story and balance are concerned, Dawn of War 2 doesn't live up to its potential. Relic created a novel strategy game, but the discrepancy between the more technical parts of the game and its mission design and story is obvious. Still, it's not a bad game at all.

    Fascinating and surreal adventure with witty dialogues, bizarre scenes, countless innuendoes and imaginative puzzles.

    Those who have hoped for similar style diversity as in the vampire gameplay pack or at least sim-quirks like in Werde-famous add-on, are tricked here.

    A brilliant narrative RPG that’s a must-play, and not just for fans of Disco Elysium.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Action-packed, yet demanding multiplayer fun, but it lacks variety and depth in the long run.

    Hotline Miami has managed to captivate me from the beginning to the end.

    The PC port of Final Fantasy 15 is a monster regarding scope, but the gameplay isn't on par with older series milestones.

    Sauron is getting closer! The first add-on increases the scale of the game, adds new classes and items and moves the action a bit more to the east. There a few annoyances regarding game balance and small bugs, but they hardly matter because looking for new quests and leveling up is a lot of fun.

    Graphics, sound, gameplay – everything just clicks here. This is the new benchmark for single-player shooters.

    Diverting mystery adventure with an impressive, historical setting and a strong focus on its multi-layered plot.

    A visually stunning survival construction mix to warm your freezing hands.

    Strong VR sequel to the Batman: Arkham series that feels almost like the original with a first-person perspective.

    I am disappointed by Control at a high level. In the beginning, the many mysteries and thus my curiosity pulls me through the game, but after a few hours disillusionment is spreading. The characters are as pale as the eternal hallways of the Old House monotonous. Hardly any opponent is a challenge if you regularly build Jesse's weapons and abilities at checkpoints.

    It's in bad taste, disgusting, difficult to digest - so it's a true and worthy South Park game. It's captures the humour and has lots of great ideas. Still, it's no RPG, it's all about the fun we all know from the TV series.

    The combination of action and tower defense seems exotic at first glance, but quickly manages to hook you. However, there are limitations to the combat system.

    Tunic is a wonderful Dark Souls alternative that fails to strike a fair balance.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Old school stealth tactics game in a modern style with motivating and great level design that requires strategic finesse.

    Capcom has done an excellent implementation for the PC.

    A modern retro platformer that plays in the same league as the classics.
