    Fallout 4 VR is an impressive VR experience, but faces portability issues in a lot of areas.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Doom VFR is a short but entertaining hellride. But the bloody VR fun lacks the ease and elegance of the original.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fishing: Barents Sea has plenty of idle time, but also cool ideas - and is anything but a sea cucumber.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    The AI isn't terrible anymore, but still not good. Subtle, but numerous innovations provide more strategy and fun.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Gameplaywise and visually impressive remaster and a great JRPG, but slightly disappointing in regards of story and combat system.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The gameplay of The Red Strings Club is not very demanding, but it challenges our brains with complex philosophical questions.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Celeste is just an outstanding platformer, but also an emotional adventure full of intimate moments.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Despite a lack of gameplay variety, Remothered is a gripping horror experience due to its dense atmosphere.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Multi-faceted 2D pixel platformer that balances its confusing narrative with great level design, tricky puzzles & neat action.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Thrilling turn based strategy with a fresh setting, at least at the beginning. The half-baked combat system disappoints despite time-travel manipulations.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The Definitive Edition has fulfilled its most important goals. It revives the first Age of Empires in a more beautiful way than in the memory of the most nostalgic - and removes enough of the legacy that I can enjoy today just as much as it used to. Above all, I can hardly wait to see what the developers will do with the Definitive Edition of the second part.

    Kingdom Come offers an impressively atmospheric medieval world, which now works a lot better technically after a few patches.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Beautiful, hand-drawn puzzle game that enchants the player with elegantly nested puzzles and a story without words.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Anyone who can adapt to the unusual campaign dynamics can expect a sophisticated real-time strategy in a historical guise.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An endearing J-RPG in the tradition of Chrono Trigger.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A pucking cute looking arcade hockey game that only manages to entertain for a few hours.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Solid railway game in the style of Ascaron's economic simulations. Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but works well.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Great anime fighting game with a scalable and very dynamic combat system that should thrill beginners and professionals alike.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A beautiful alien sea, sophisticated game mechanics and a motivating story. Diving into Subnautica is worth doing.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Impressive VR adventure in zero gravity that convincly combines great immersion, good story and complete freedom of movement.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Finding Paradise is a simple game, but convinces with its emotional and unusual story as well as the clever humor.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The pretty magic adventure quickly runs out of breath because it lacks of creative features and - above all - motivating elements.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Surprisingly good adventure prequel with emotional power. Runs out of steam towards the end.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Totally crazy RPG for people with a good sense of humor and good command of the English language.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Touching and atmospherically dense story that impresses with simple innovative puzzle mechanics and great picture-book-like presentation.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Sweaty showpiece shooter for Virtual Reality that impresses with graphic splendor and high immersion and precision.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A very difficult and hand-drawn Metroidvania with an enormous size for players with a lot of patience and a high frustration tolerance.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Undemanding story adventure with the inspirating theme about dying and the profession of a undertaker.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Creative tribute to text adventures and an in many ways surprising storytelling experiment with a well-done 80s-like scary atmosphere.
