    Neverending Nightmares could be an interesting horror-adventure, but fails on the most important element: the horror.

    At its core, this is a fantastic port oft he Alien franchise into gaming. However, the almost too-strong Alien can be frustrating at times.

    I'd be lying if I said that I did not have fun with Shadow of Mordor, because it kept me entertained for 30 hours. Not on a superior level, but on a good, technically flawless one, whose objective quality one must be soberly recognized. But it has never affected me emotionally in that time, never surprised me, never gave me the feeling that I'd just played something special, something unique, something remarkable.

    It's a sold simulation if you like the genre but with several bugs and unnecessary mini games.

    Defense Grid 2 is not a revolutionary sequel, it plays more like a subtly refined version of the first part. The successor to one of the best tower defense games is no revolution but still in the first class of the genre.

    Only in one aspect I would have expected more from Fifa 15, namely in the game modes.

    Except for the huge selection of characters, there's no real reason to pay full price if you already own the predecessor.

    It's still fun as long as you don't care about a single player campaign and up to date visuals.

    Wasteland 2 is like a granny. A bit shaky, and you have to understand that she comes from a different generation - but lovable and sometimes blessed with impressive age wisdom.

    The skill system still seems fresh, the battles run smoothly. And in the bizarre and brutal world of Fable I felt I was always at home. A worthy HD update to celebrate the 10 years anniversary, with a few technical problems.

    On its own it's an entertaining game, but compared to The Sims 3 it's a step back and a lesser game.

    Great first season with great characters and coherent story. More interactive story than game though.

    Great atmosphere and story as before, but visually it's a great step forward and recommended for new players.

    At the core it's a solid strategy game but almost nothing is better or different. Less innovation than FIFA or Call of Duty.

    Risen 3 could be outstanding, for the world, the fights, the character system are almost made ​​for a first-class role play. But the story does not build tension. It serves its purpose, but remains arbitrary and acts in many places too contrived.

    In Firefall the clear line is missing. The game was changed so frequently during its long development time, and re-designed, that it's just mixed way up from many individual ideas in the end, but not really in harmony as a complete work.

    Lovely Planet wants to hammer home that it is sweet, crazy and colorful. But unfortunately, this is all just a facade. Underneath it's a superficial shooter that offers little variety and I can always shoot down the same boring tube passages.
