    Link's new open-world adventure is a masterpiece that will enchant fans both new and old.

    Darkest Dungeon 2 does its own demanding rogue-lite thing. You can love it or hate it just as much as its predecessor.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    A shooter that hasn't been thought through to the end and that doesn't mesh its gameplay mechanics enough. Unsuitable for soloists, but still reasonably entertaining in co-op.

    A wonderful sequel with a gripping Star Wars story, excellent combat and fatal performance.

    The Forza Horizon DLC Rally Adventure delivers entertaining drifting action and excellent tracks but is only a short-lived delight.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The turn-based campaigns and real-time battles are well intertwined - but it feels tough and cynical due to the lack of terrain gains.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Grimgrad does far too little with its promising ideas and remains a pale imitation of classic building sims.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A delightful remake of an exciting crossover between Lovecraftian myths and the unshakeable logic of Sherlock Holmes.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    A mechanically solid, but also strangely artificial-looking DLC that mainly boosts your in-game bank account.

    Its focus on the most played nations in Europa Universalis 4 makes sense and is fun. However, the balance suffers.

    The amazing open world of Shadow of Doubt deserves a better game. [Early Access Review]
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Burning Shores has a beautiful map and some fun new features. However, the DLC suffers from a goofy villain.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Honkai: Star Rail is a Free2Play game that technically doesn't have to hide from AAA competitors and can offer you hours of enjoyment for free.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dead Island 2 knows what it wants and does it just right. The zombie slasher is good solo, but even better in co-op.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Funny, fast-paced action in a slick Minecraft overworld, with more combat than building.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A terrific DLC that is among the best that Warhammer and Total War have ever seen.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Innovative shooter mix of base building and dungeon crawler, where creativity is punished of all things.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Everspace 2 is a fun looter/shooter RPG with an engaging yet down-to-earth story that will keep you entertained for days.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Barotrauma is an exciting, cooperative resource management game that is also captivating in Singleplayer thanks to its deep atmosphere.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    If you expect a new Payday here, you will inevitably be disappointed. Crime Boss: Rockay City has many interesting features and good ideas, but only half-heartedly pursues most of them.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The elaborate remaster ensures that The Last of Us loses almost none of its original magic even ten years later.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Lousy open-world roguelite with a sterile, lifeless game world, weak combat and ridiculously little content.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    In Terra Nil you spend time demolishing your buildings - for the sake of nature.

    The Spanish indie development team Abylight Barcelona has turned a dark setting into a surprisingly relaxed, funny construction sim. [Early Access Review]
    • 71 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Phantom Brigade strikes me as a title with a very cool core mechanic around which the game has sadly been forgotten.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    X-Plane 12 catches up to Flight Simulator 2020, but it still presents itself more as a serious application than a relaxing game.
    • tbd Metascore

    Colony Ship is a tactical RPG with a surprisingly interesting sci-fi story. [Early Access Review]
    • 83 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Very good port: the best city-building sim for consoles! The controller control needs some practice but works nicely.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    An absolutely fantastic remake of a classic that is a must-have for horror fans.
