Oxenfree is a thrilling ghost story. Impatient gamers and action fans should stay away.

The transfer of Homeworld from space battles to ground battles works very well. Great campaign, but AI and balancing problems disturb the fun.

Challenging rally simulation with Loeb bonus, but inferior to Dirt Rally in all aspects.

Pony Island is a very entertaining experience full of constant surprises and funny things.

A quite brutal dark fantasy RPG that forces you to rethink, lets heroes die and thus creates a very intensive experience.

Huge and challenging RPG including a great pawn system. Give this title a chance, despite its average looks.

Steven Spielberg once said that games could only become a true storytelling art form when they manage to make you cry. This game will.

It's like an alternative Fallout with simple turn-based fights and old school atmosphere. A good tip for Fallout veterans.

Outdated shooter with a dinosaur bonus. Only retro fans with too much money to spend will be thrilled.

Action filled fun with lots of endearing heroes and great game mechanics, but it lacks diversity.

Lone wolves will enjoy the great story and the demanding Maelstrom arena, but Orsinium isn't really a MMO experience.

It's an open world RPG for extremely patient and cooperative settlers who can also stand a lot of grinding for resources and skills.

Dirt Rally is the best rally simulation at the moment and one of the best racing games of all time. Beginners will find it to be quite difficult.

Every single activity is unbelievably repetitive and boring and the graphics look like they're from the year 2003. It may have been a cool idea, but the implementation is awful.

A real tactical shooter at last. Rainbow Six: Siege offers great and hard multiplayer battles, but it needs more content.

A great Metroid-style action adventure with fantastic presentation. Could have been a bit longer and demanding though.

A demanding and motivating shooter which is best with three teammates. One of the most underrated action games of the year.

Mordheim is a lot of fun, despite its rough corners, if you are patient and willing to live with harsh consequences.

A refreshing old-school building strategy game for patient players, which only displays its charm and potential after a few hours of playing. It's love at second sight.

The most bombastic open-world title of the year is like a playground that works better, the more you lower your brain activity. Brain off, fun on.

It's more than just an XCOM clone. Hard West is Wild West mystery with tactics, depth and death. It only fails with regard to long-term motivation.

Autentic interactions with the main characters of the series can't change the fact that there's no real freedom of choice and that kills the fun in the end.

Huge atmospheric open world racing game which lacks really good multiplayer ideas. In combination with the main game it's superior to similar games like Need for Speed.

Battlefront is a mainstream shooter without too many problems. But apart from the Star Wars atmosphere is doesn't offer anything special.

They saved the best for last. Legacy of the Void is a moment of glory for the RTS genre and a worthy conclusion to StarCraft 2. Where else can you still find lovingly made campaigns, fantastic presentation and ingenious multi-player in one single game?

It’s an end times RPG with a huge atmospheric world, but with fewer odd stories than Fallout 3 and full of standard quests. Even the main story falls a bit short.

It's one of the best co-op shooters since Left 4 Dead 2, but bugs, design shortcoming and technical problems lower the score.

A brave new start which sacrifices the traditional elements of trade and tough competition and replaces them with a truly epic endless game.
