    It doesn't really manage to combine brains and entertainment. That's a pity because it could be a great game.

    The best Wolfenstein so far. Interesting places, remarkable characters, drama, humor and a story that should make some Hollywood blockbusters feel ashamed.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's a great mix of a classic detective movie, science fiction and a post-nuclear world with lots of weird characters.

    It doesn't offer a lot of content, but it's a nice alternative to Left 4 Dead. Contagion won't start a new zombie hype, though.

    Age of Mythology is a good game. Even today. The mission design is still exciting, the balance between the people and the units is true, and thanks to the numerous combinations of gods and nations, there is always something new to try.

    Despite its problems ESO is a game that's fun for more than 100 hours and if Zenimax listens to the players, it can even become a great game.

    If you are looking for a heart-warming and funny game between all those shooters and dark action games, this is the one for you.

    • 71 Critic Score
    It's one of those games that is just ok. It's fun, but not thrilling or clever.

    Not so amazing after all. Technically, it a catastrophe. It you really love Spidey, you may like it to some degree.

    Should have stayed in the dark. Only the scary moments, which are often achieved by cheap tricks, save this game from getting a slating review.

    It's a magical 2D RPG you just have to love. The art style and the fitting characters create a visual highlight.

    Probably the best Wargame title yet, but with weaknesses regarding innovation and balance.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It has quite rough edges, but also some nostalgic charm. If only the developers had a bigger budget to sort out the technical flaws and improve the level design!

    Hearthstone wants to be a fast paced and entertaining card game for beginners and experts alike - and it achieves this goal with flying colors.

    Inspired by the classic Alpha Centauri, it looks like a modern version at first glance, but lacks the depth and long term motivation.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Not as good as the first Episode, but it works to continue the story. But the next episode should offer more possibilities and real decisions.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    This sequel ignores the less popular Broken Sword 3 and 4. One the one hand that's great, because it revives the atmosphere of the first two games and it works. But technically it's not up to date and the important puzzles are too easy to solve. But there's hope for part 2.

    If you can ignore the still not perfect controls on PC then Dark Souls 2 is a great game for hardcore gamers that can endure some suffering. They will scream in front of the screen - out of joy and out of frustration.

    • 81 Critic Score
    It looks like a twin to the first installment, but offers new gameplay elements and a lot of fun. Having to repeat the main quest in every new game is a bit annoying, though.

    Trials Fusion has some problems regarding missing content, but there's hope the community will create lots of it. At the core it's a very entertaining fun-racer already.

    Someone must have noticed during development that this game doesn't work on PC with controls from tablet hell! There's an interesting story, but you have to walk barefooted over broken glass to find it. Not worth the money.

    It may be overwhelming for beginners, but it offers months of fun for veterans of the genre. It doesn't change a lot compared to the first installments, but why change good things that work?
