    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.

    Neat shooter remake, which despite its plot weaknesses entertains just as well as back then. Without multiplayer, it is, however, a rather thin package.

    Streets of Rage 4 is a dream come true for nostalgia addicts of the fighting game genre. It consciously rejects the modern era and will therefore not appeal to everyone.

    Cloudpunk brings a dystopia full of humour and human abysses to life. Cyberpunk fans will be pleased.

    I particularly like the playful freedom that the flexible 3-action system offers.

    Behind the browser game aesthetics and the somewhat forced humor there’s demanding tactical combat on par with Darkest Dungeon.

    Firaxis takes some risks, yes. But probably to bring a little variety to the XCOM series and maybe build a bridge to a real successor. The new features are all well thought out and offer enough differences to XCOM 2 to justify the purchase, but you shouldn't expect a revolution.

    Despite the short playtime, We Went Back offers a gripping horror experience due to its dense atmosphere and varying setting.

    Foundation expands Control with a completely new area that offers an interesting plot, fun abilities and smart level design.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A well-made remake to delight both veterans and newcomers, however, it remains overshadowed by its predecessor.

    Anno 1800: Seat of Power provides the endgame with further excitement and motivation, in return it charges a princely fee.

    Half-Life: Alyx redefines the word experience. Unfortunately, only in VR. And then again, luckily only in VR, because what Valve delivers here is exactly what VR fans have been hoping for for years: a system seller that makes virtual reality interesting even for people who have not had any interest in it before. And not just because of the name Half-Life, but because of the quality.

    Reasonable innovations and a completely new Xen complement the authentic Half-Life atmosphere: This is what a remake should look like.

    Very combat focused RPG. You can manipulate time within the turn-based fantasy battles - perfect for tinkerers with patience.

    Doom Eternal refines where its predecessor was already brilliant. Despite some minor flaws, it's one of the most intense shooters of the year.

    An insider's tip for creative and patient rocket engineers who are not afraid of a little bit of grinding.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is touching, fascinating and it delights with excellent game design. A masterpiece that no one should miss out on.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Very complex, slightly outdated turn based strategy game with five very long, exclusively German campaigns featuring over 1.000 different troops.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Lazily modernized graphics, completely outdated gameplay: This remake of a classic is only for the most nostalgic of veterans.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    If you can look past the bland setting and the repetitive gameplay, this well-balanced genre mix could be your thing.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Great tactical depth and varied turn based combat in a dark SciFi setting. Interesting scenario, but disappointing story line.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    This adventure borrows liberally from some obvious role models, but fails to live up to their examples, despite innovative audio mechanics.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    I really like Wolcen very much. This talent tree - complex and full of variants on the one hand and user-friendly on the other hand without gaps - has been my wish for Path of Exile for years...The cutscenes are also great. It's just a shame that the story runs out of air in the last third.

    • 61 Critic Score
    Solid oldschool turn based tactics game, based on the Netflix series. Lacks any highlights, both gameplay- or storywise.
    • 71 Metascore

    This atmospheric resistance management game may not be a perfect game, but it’s an important one. Especially in this day and age.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    A fun zombie shooter for coop players, though without innovative elements. Beware of in-game purchases and pay walls.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The remaster stays far below its possibilities and makes multiplayer worse than in the original. The single-player campaign is still great.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Funny, ludicrous, very colorful and full of action. A nice SciFi-Adventure with a little potential for frustration.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The mechanics are still compelling and seem undestructable. There are only slight technical improvements to the remaster, controls are still a nuisance.
    • 73 Metascore

    This playable Anime is a must for every Fan of Dragon Ball Z. The game world would need to play a bigger part to make this a hit.
