    • 86 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Improved almost everywhere, with a lot of atmosphere, but penalty system, damage system and scope still have room for further improvement.

    • 68 Critic Score
    A colorful hommage to Warcraft, made for rushes only, with little tactical depth and the stupid AI sucks.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A philosophical-scientific story meets intelligent puzzles - with a better end of the story this could have been a real masterpiece.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Motivating and entertaining adventure game with interesting decisions, great character design and strategic diversity.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Puzzle game with fantastic presentation and a very interesting story at first, but slowly runs out of steam.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    As far as gameplay is concerned, this is the best Deus Ex since the first one, with great action and great roleplay - but its greatest weakness is the story, of all things.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    A nice little build-a-vault-game, great for spending a little time. But it lacks the depth to be motivating in the long term.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A mediocre gameplay forces the player to wait a lot and this overshadows the great decision making.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Starbound offers a lot of freedom, diversity and a love for details. An amazingly good game if you love 2D pixel worlds.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A beautiful adventure under water, with a touching narrative, immersing the player in a dreamy fairytale Metroidvania.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a great game based on Episode 7 and captures the spirit of the movie, but doesn't offer anything more than what's typical for the series.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    A low budget action RPG set on Mars, with lots of good ideas, but also with some quirks and problems.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    It should have been a worthy successor, instead it's just a clone without distinct highlights.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's as entertaining and thrilling as a good horror movie, but it lacks some variety.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you like exploring, this is for you. If you prefer survival games, don't expect too much.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As far as parkour gameplay is concerned, this is a well done reboot with more story and content, but the the integration of new ideas feels artificial.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    While Crimes and Punishments was an outstanding game, Devil's Daughter is pure mediocrity. More quick time events are a step in the wrong direction.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Hearts of Iron 4 is extremely complex with love for details - a nightmare for beginners, but maybe still too easy for veterans of the series.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Overwatch doesn't reinvent the wheel, but mixes well-known mechanics to create one of the best games of the genre in years.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Doom is a great tribute to old times in a modern form. If you like fast shooters, there's nothing better at the moment.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The new fantasy setting offers huge and spectacular battles and new strategies, but the world map has been greatly simplified.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It has strong points like stealth gameplay and co-op, but all in all it's just average. A focus on stealth would have been better.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It's not polished and sometimes slow-moving, but full of cool sci-fi stories once you get into it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It's a fascinating and moving paper chase, but having to walk around so much is quite annoying.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Despite some problems with game balance and mission design, this is the best Warhammer game since Dawn of War 2: Retribution.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Banner Saga 2 surpasses the predecessor and continues the touching saga. An atmospheric masterpiece.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Enter the Gungeon offers fresh and always fair pixel action and will be a thrill especially for Isaac fans.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Quantum Break is an action experience with great presentation, but on PC it doesn't look as spectacular as on Xbox One.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Perfect as a tech demo for Oculus rift and visually impressive even without the VR headset. But the gameplay is weak and sometimes even annoying. [VR Tested]
    • 69 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    A rock-solid RTS with mass battles, but only for fans of multiplayer and skirmish. The campaign turns out to be a sad affair.
