    Assassin's Creed Shadows takes you to a Japan with an atmospheric game world, well-made gameplay and great attention to details, but also reveals significant weaknesses in the narrative and quest design.

    While a fun enough shooter in its own right, Gunslinger is in almost every way inferior to the similar Bulletstorm. Yet its new and unique approach to telling a story is certainly something I would like to see in a lot of other games.

    The new regions of High Isle are once again great in design, the quests are fantastically written and there is a lot to do. In detail, however, we are disappointed on a high level. The quest design has been more varied in the past, and the battles rarely offer a challenge. Furthermore, it's about time that Zenimax adds new classes oder weapon types, something that brings a breath of fresh air.

    House Flipper 2 is a good simulator. How technically accurate the game is remains to be seen. But it creates an almost meditative calm when cleaning up. So if you want to really relax after a long day at work and give your head a little emptiness, you will find your personal therapy with House Flipper 2.

    Dying Light: The Beast isn't exactly brimming with innovation. Rather, it delivers a whole series of small improvements and expansions appropriate to the story. What ultimately sets this zombie adventure apart from Dying Light 2, however, is its straightforwardness and significantly stronger focus on the series' core strengths. Fast-paced parkour, brutal action, and, last but not least, the game world, both beautiful and dynamic, characterize the experience. While The Beast is a bit unwieldy and fiddly, overall the "little" Dying Light is convincing. Both newcomers and seasoned players will feel at home in The Beast. We definitely recommend it.

    If you like Metal and fast paced shooter-games like Doom, Quake or Unreal Tournament, but without Multiplayer components, then this is your game. The movement is great, the rhythm based shooter gameplay feels fresh and the soundtrack is a blast! You can forget about the story, and if you search for secrets or special areas in the levels, you won´t find any. It´s all about the action and the music which is awesome. We can´t get enough of it.

    A great pirate adventure that - despite some weaknesses - shows the competition how to do it right.

    Look closely, Konami, for this is how a Contra game should look and play like! Blazing Chrome doesn’t win a price für originality, nor does it reinvent the action genre. It’s just a damn well-made game.

    Measured against current games, SMT 3 simply cannot keep up here. I would recommend the remaster to fans of the series. Everyone else should think twice about getting the game, especially considering the high price.

    Short, varied and sweeter than the police allow: Little Kitty, Big City simply makes you happy for a few hours.

    Plenty of content and fun gameplay make RIDE 6 a solid racer, but the career mode falls short of expectations.

    A bare bones port that embodies everything PC gamers hate about lazy console conversions. Capcom should have let this one rest in peace.

    Runaway: A Twist of Fate is a great adventure and a dignified finale of the Runaway triology. It sure does not have the deep story of The Whispered World or A Book of Unwritten Tales but it sure feels like a monolithic system. It’s cinematic presentation with it’s stylish graphics and frequent cutscenes in cool cartoon-style along with some unexpected cliffhangers and surprises kind of forced me to play the game at a stretch. Runaway: A Twist of Fate is a thrilling adventure that entertains the player from the beginning to the end. Just great!

    Sniper Elite 5 has a few weaknesses like the cliche story, the frumpy graphics and some bugs. But overall it’s a great game with a lot of gameplay variety and a great amount of content.

    From Software's newest game is a surprisingly kick-ass experiment that suffers greatly from balancing issues. Nightreign delivers a brutally hard team-building exercise full of breakneck action that plays fabulously. Unfortunately, it fails to duly reward you for your efforts - be it with worthwhile permanent upgrades or final bosses where your hard-earned builds actually make a difference. It’s far from unfixable, but you should probably wait for a balancing patch or two.

    Good to see that Firaxis Games is following its tradition in optimizing core-game-features, that could have been worked out in a better way. So Beyond Earth’s diplomacy is much more entertaining now, the aquatic gameplay and the hybrid-affinities now offers much more strategical depth. The new artifact-system is a lot of fun to experiment with and there are many improvements in feature-details. But still it’s not the same overall fantastic game experience, that Civilization stands for. Even with the add-on improvements, Beyond Earth appears like a little sci-fi-brother to Civ 5.

    Every Adventure-Fan should definitely give The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk a chance (after you’ve played the first game), because otherwise you’ll miss out on a lot.

    A successful horror game with atmospheric sound and world design. Unfortunately, the enemy AI and story can't quite keep up.

    Kirby AirRiders delivers vibrant, colorful racing action fun with plenty of charm. The controls take some getting used to, but the variety of modes and the presentation are impressive.

    I can’t recall any recent game that made me cuss as often as Trackmania: Turbo. I constantly managed to ram my vehicle in to walls, trees, chasms and other obstacles. Therefore, the reset-button became my closest friend during my time with Trackmania: Turbo. But in similar fashion as Trials Fusion, Trackmania: Turbo engages you fairly quickly with its concept. Pretty soon you find yourself itching to satisfy your ambitions to become the very best at the game. One of the few gripes I do have with the game, are its courses, which can be very confusing at times. Other than that, Trackmania: Turbo is a highly enjoyable and challenging arcade-racing-game.

    Nobody Saves the World can be a lot of fun. Its mechanics are solid, it is visually pleasing and the music fits the game incredibly well. But the repetitive gameplay loop keeps it from becoming something special, therefore only making it something decent.

    Horizon: Call of the Mountain certainly doesn't reinvent the VR wheel, but it convinces with a fantastic presentation, an unparalleled attention to detail, and great moments that literally transport the player into this impressive world. Horizon fans in particular should not miss this experience.

    Pacific Drive has so much potential. The idea of a survival game with a car as main protagonist is great, the world looks wonderful and the story is interesting. But when we have to escape the radiation, everything becomes unnecessarily annoying. The balancing and some features should get a bit of rework, then Pacific Drive will be overall really enjoyable.

    Impresses with an emotionally staged story, strong atmosphere and varied combos, but suffers from recurring mission objectives and minor design flaws.

    A dark and brutal superhero-comic come alive. Prototype offers more than enough room for criticism due to its simple mission-design, unlovely graphics and boneheaded AI. Nevertheless it also copes with creating the intensive atmosphere of a city on the brink of disaster and of the player being the ultimate superhero, therefore resulting in a gameplay experience that is by far greater than the sum of its parts.

    Fun weapons, tight controls and a smart combo mechanic will keep you coming back for more, even if the whole gameplay loop starts to get repetitive pretty soon.

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a really fun game, but it just squanders its potential at every turn. Things like lack of enemy variety and boring loot don't exactly help the title stand out from the crowd. Fans of the team ninja combat familiar from the Nioh series will definitely enjoy Wo Long, but at least for the PC version, you should wait until the developers get a grip on the numerous performance problems.

    Overall, Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game feels like a slight step backwards compared to its predecessor. Fewer areas, half as many vehicles, the loss of the experience system, but an overabundance of the same old tasks spoil the experience. Nevertheless, the challenging gameplay is still a lot of fun. Digging through mud, laboriously pulling ourselves up mountainsides and freeing ourselves from seemingly hopeless situations creates a wonderfully satisfying feeling. Those who already found this aspect the most important in the predecessors will also get their money's worth with Expeditions.
