    In the first release of the episodic Hitman-game you got access to the prologue and the first story mission. The sandbox-design of the levels is great and offers tons of variations how to fulfill your contracts – just like in Blood Money. In addition you can play the live events (escalation, contracts, illusive targets). Though there are just two locations available within the first release, it can be very repetitive after some time. Gameplay is well done, but technical issues like glitches, minor bugs and performance drops can be frustrating.

    Well, that’s a disappointment: After The Escapists 1+2, we were looking forward to the next game set in the same universe. The Survivalists, however, can’t hold a candle to its predecessors. The gameplay is broken in more ways than we can count, there are plenty of design flaws which makes you wonder how anybody couldn’t have seen how irritating they are and nevertheless, the game is way too short and way too easy. Such a pity.

    Paleo Pines is overpriced and not worth it, because it doesn't come close to good farming sims or cozy games like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. The graphics and animations are lackluster. In addition, many mechanics are very tedious and annoying. The only unique factor, the cute dinosaurs, is simply not convincing enough to outweigh the flaws.

    In a world after Dying Light, Zombi looks and feels like a shambling mess. Poor graphics, mindless head-bashing and the perplexing lack of a stealth option make this one hard to swallow even for zombie enthusiasts.

    Playing Thunder Tier One feels like babysitting in a warzone. It is stressful, annoying and overall just not enjoyable, especially when playing alone.

    To make it short: Wavey stinks. The gameplay isn’t fun and the rest is mediocre at best. Seeing that this ist he first game made by a young studio, I wish them all the best for their future. But their next project has to be a lot better to gain my attention.

    Starship Troopers: Extermination has (inadvertently?) translated the anti-belligerent ideas of the film into a game so well that it makes us want peace, if only because we don't want to keep doing the same thing. The film argues that war is not fun. And the game isn't fun either.

    I’ve played all sorts of Souls-likes, including some made primarily for mobile platforms, which is to say that I don’t necessarily need the highest production standards to enjoy the core formula. I’d be willing to forgive the laughable presentation, if the gameplay wasn’t equally bad. The game feels bad to control, the animations are stiff and clunky, the user interface is a farce, the level environments are criminally boring, crafting equipment is annoying and tedious, the bossfights are terribly designed – there’s next to nothing here that isn’t subpar. Granted, there are a few good ideas and boss mechanics in there, but all of them are either poorly executed or half-hearted. Dolmen is not only the worst Souls-like I’ve played yet, it’s also a good contender for one of this year’s worst games.

    Lifeless Planet is aptly named: The game lacks vitality and the pacing is off. Although only four hours long, the campaign is oftentimes a slog and the jumping lacks the precision the game’s focus on platforming theoretically necessitates. Disappointing.

    Call of Duty has lost its magic. Modern Warfare 3 is miles away from the epic campaign missions of the franchise. The new open combat missions are boring and we are missing the scripted action sequences of the prequels. After only four hours the story is completed, even for a Call of Duty that’s short. We still have the feeling, this game should be a DLC and not a sequel of MW2. [Campaign Review Score = 40]

    Between the exciting religious setting, lousy technology and unintentionally weird gameplay, The Inquisitor commits the worst of all deadly sins: it's boring as hell.

    Fairly entertaining in single player. In multiplayer with nostalgic potential, but unfortunately behind in terms of play. Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection disappoints even die-hard fans and plays with retro feelings.

    A simulation about paramedics is a great idea. The job is exciting and important. Unfortunately, Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator has a lot of bugs, graphic issues and since the Day 1 Patch also in terms of content some problems. The gameplay isn’t that bad, but overall a lot of potential gets wasted.

    A half-baked and unfinished attempt at a game, which has been thrown onto the market here for €20. There is nothing left here of the legacy of the former Gothic studio.

    A pointless re-release. If you really want to play this game, despite all its shortcomings, you should pick up the superior ScummVM version.

    The best thing I can say about Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is, that the game feels like one of these titles, you rented from the Videostore in the early 2000s to play through on a weekend. Which probably tells you, that you shouldn't pay full price for it. Should the developers at Tuque succeed in patching the bugs and putting more meat on this dragon's bones, then Dark Alliance could over time become a fun Multiplayer-title. Until then, there are a lot of better alternatives for a co-op-adventure.

    A nice story and a solid atmosphere cannot save what’s otherwise a terrible game, riddled with bugs, stupid gameplay choices, bad graphics and other grievous problems. Unless you are a die-hard fan of the series, stay away.

    This game shouldn’t have been released in this state. The story is outlandish, there’s no action, the stealth-parts are boring and the ominous nightmare porcelain men are just plainly not frightening. The premise was good, the execution simply ragged.

    The idea to enhance the fighting system with meditative elements sounds interesting but doesn’t work out in any way. The meditations move to the background, while the fighting system, which is not that bad, takes the front row. Long loading times, bad controls and constantly the same animations cloud the overall picture further.

    Bombshell is a mess, with tedious action, boring level design and redundant RPG elements. Shelly Harrison deserves better.

    With Half-Life 3 a faraway dream, there’s a lot anticipation for anything new related to Valves shooter series. But even if you are desperate for some new life sign from Gordon Freeman: Please avoid Prospekt. It’s a poorly-crafted experience with deeply flawed combat balancing. There are lots of free mods out there that are far better.

    Even hardcore fans of Harry Potter have to admit: This adventure is not only boring and without highlights, it's also designed without any love for videogames or the Potter franchise.

    Just call the bulldozer already: This theme park ruin is ready for demolition and is neither safe nor enjoyable to play in. Better get Planet Coaster asap.

    The disastrous technical condition, poor graphics, butchered animations and bad camera are just a number of reasons why this game should not have been published that unfinished. Bugs and glitches destroy every second match and extreme loading times make waiting between matches a chore.

    Even truckloads of patches couldn’t save this roleplaying mess from being one of the worst releases we’ve seen the entire year. Avoid at all costs.

    Rambo: The Video Game is indeed "Your worst nightmare." This on-rails shooting gallery looks and plays like a game made by two monkeys. And it doesn’t even turn blue...

    Boring and buggy third-person-action-adventure that features two different characters, one action-focus the other one stealthy. But the much too hard difficulty level and the more than stupid AI tear every bit of fun out of Shadow Harvest.

    Fast & Furious Crossroads is quite similar to the associated movies. Both have the same voice actors, a couple of nice action sequences and a shitload of issues: Poorly written dialogue, a story full of plotholes and unlikeable characters combined with imprecise car controls make the game an unappealing mess.

    One or two nice ideas and the unconventional main character do not save Gollum from boring gameplay, clunky controls and a technique that even Sauron would find too cruel.
