    Monster Hunter World captivates with thrilling boss fights and its variety of weapons, but the PC port could have been technically better.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Even more funky levels, ingredients and characters: Overcooked 2 will please anyone and should not be missed at any co-op party.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Tempest means storm, the name says it all: if you venture in, you'll experience a unique adventure or you will be blown away by the wind.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Successful genre mix that runs out of steam near the end due to repetition.

    Stonehearth is a quiet, fascinating and thrilling building game, at least as long as we are spared the bugs.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    F1 2018 has picked up and improved the strengths of its predecessor. Feels like an update, plays fantastic.

    The number of bugs in Airport Simulator 2019 is so absurd and almost funny that it almost made us increase the review score. This idea was rejected by editorial vote.

    • 69 Critic Score
    State of Mind pursues a thematically exciting idea, but fails due to trivial gameplay and weak staging.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Ignoring, however, the sometimes really tough legacy of the first draft of the game, still remains at the core of an exciting commentary on bondage, control and repression, which can keep up with milestones such as Bioshock at least on this level.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A top-notch collection of all 2D-era milestones of the Street Fighter series, many of which are still very playable today.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    If you don't expect great innovations, you will get the usual action-packed and entertaining adventure for the whole family.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    In all respects an uncalled-for continuation of one of the supposedly worst games ever. Yes, the original was better.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Martyr catches the original theme stylistically well, but fails due to generic gameplay and the weak story.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A very short, but lovingly narrated adventure, skillfully combining serious and funny topics.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Diverse arcade racer with an impressively huge game world, but the enormous potential isn't used enough.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Virtual Tipp-Kick using mouse clicks, an insider tip for soccer fans, ideal and entertaining for quick games.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Warhammer 40K meets Civilization, but focuses solely on warfare. Only for 40K fans who prefer gameplay to story.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The Season add-on enriches the Sims Universe with weather effects, holidays and many seasonal activities.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Solid Kart racer with charm and many funny ideas, but its potential is not fully used due to some problems in details.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The technically moldy Left-4-Dead clone is entertaining with the right team, but tries too hard.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A successful mix of bullet hell, crafting and FPS with old school charm, but little variety.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    What makes The Banner Saga 3 fantastic is the feeling of its predecessors. The whole series is traversed by a certain despair and sadness, which belong to the inevitable end. The finale drives this melancholy to the extreme, motivating me through struggles and decisions but at the same time to continue.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    A motivating and visually appealing bus game for beginners, which will make hardcore simulation fans gasp.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Prey-Roguelite is well made and uses an interesting design, but the main game set the bar clearly too high for the DLC.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Highly motivating dungeon crawler with great pixel graphics, the mixture of loot and shop management is persuasive.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A small, technically not quite up-to-date masterpiece: Vampyr is multi-layered, atmospheric and exciting up to the last drop.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you liked FlatOut, you'll love Wreckfest. Drily presented, but wonderfully brutal full-contact racing with impressive physics.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Unravel 2 remains magically beautiful and cleverly expands its basic concept. A real leap in quality, however, is missing.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Beautiful theme park manager with a clear focus on the great presentation of dinosaurs. Micro-managing fans get a raw deal, though.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    With a hint of art, this is a borderline horror trip through hell, with boring tasks and technical problems.
