    The underlying principle is indestructible, but compared to its predecessors, the F2P restart disappoints with a lack of content and improvements.

    The strategically and optically convincing TGC skillfully introduces new ideas into the genre. Very generous and fair Free2Play system!

    The history collection offers purely technical improvements, 1503 and 1602 proft the most.

    Jumping lacks a little bit of precision, but if you can ignore this, you’ll get a engaging, albeit short package of fun.

    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.

    An intelligent shooter with smart RTS elements, especially for solo players. Although the innovative scenario would have deserved a better story.

    Bright Harvest provides an interesting challenge for Anno 1800, but that is not enough, even for a DLC.

    The Remaster is a joy for C&C Veterans, but delivers less than it could in almost every respect.

    This chapter of ESO ist full of Skyrim nostalgia, but suffers from a weak story and a lack of innovations.

    Cooperative fun for the whole family with typical Minecraft optics. Gets boring quickly, though.

    Whether you enjoy it depends on your expectations. Maneater is trash. It makes no secret of it. The game is not pretty, it is not very varied or complex. But at least you're a shark. And eats people. And alligators. And other sharks. And everything at all. So the game does exactly what it says in the description. If that appeals to you, go ahead! Otherwise you can safely ignore the part.

    By today's standards the shootings are too static for my taste. In combination with the annoying graphics bugs, it is difficult for me to make an unreserved recommendation. If you just want to experience an adult story again that takes itself and its character seriously, then don't hesitate. But if you also hope for a dynamic gaming experience, there are certainly better alternatives by now.

    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.

    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.
