    Have you ever wanted to be the guy in a zombie movie who holds a scanner up to someone's face and gets to decide their fate? Then you might enjoy a few interesting hours playing Quarantine Zone. However, aside from the scanning mechanic, the game lacks complexity, variety, and challenge.

    The atmosphere and presentation shine, but the gameplay in Below is at times frustratingly repetitive.

    War Hospital boasts a unique concept that suffers from mediocre execution. You will feel the pressure that its main characters are under, but the game lacks a meaningful, emotional connection to your staff and patients. This leads to you only managing them based on stats and robs the game of the moral complexity it clearly wants to portray. Add a repetitive gameplay loop and a game breaking bug fixable only by frequent saving and loading, and War Hospital becomes a game that makes you miserable in all the wrong ways.

    One of the best mobile games suffers from one of the worst cases of monetization we've seen in years. Blizzard misses its one shot to finally win back some of its loudest critics. What we have instead is a Diablo that will forever be labeled as a greedy pay-to-win game - even if there is actually a ton of great content that you can enjoy without spending a dime. Diablo Immortal may be worth your time, but certainly not your money.

    While still a pretty good RTS, Cold War lacks the tactical depth of its predecessors. Just pick a few tanks and roll over whatever resistance there is. The missions are too easy and the engine, although bringing really good explosions to the screen, slows down gameplay to less than 20 FPS.

    Just like back then, I see the flaws in Ghostbusters: The Video Game, but as a fan of the two cult movies, I don't care about them at all. Yes, there are many far better third person shooters, but in what other game can I use a positron collider to stop ghosts from spraying slime all over people? The shooter gameplay is fun, despite the partly inaccurate controls, and feels exactly the way you want it to feel. Moreover, the game is teeming with allusions and quotes, which put a blissful grin on the faces of the fans of the movies. But the dry humour is also perfectly fits in other respects - no matter if Ray is just obsessed again or Egon philosophises about one of his strange hobbies. In addition, there is a great atmosphere, varied enemy design and of course some iconic locations from the movies. Of course my fan heart beats faster. So I'm all the happier that everything works technically flawlessly in handheld mode and that I can now catch a few ghosts on the go.

    A solid adventure with a cool scenario mixture of science fiction and fantasy. Elex is not a must-have title for RPG fans like Divinity: Original Sin 2 - but it's a nice addition.

    Call of Cthulhu has a lot of promising features, but it should have stayed just a detective game. The horror elements are not implemented well and they seem misplaced.

    An overall extremely well-made and enjoyable basketball game with a variety of modes and teams. That does not stop NBA 2K21 from sabotaging itself through a vast number of microtransactions that become necessary to progress in the My Team and My Career modes.

    Outbound is exactly what it promises. A good mix of discovery, crafting, and building, and it provides plenty of relaxation.

    Help Will Come Tomorrow offers a survival experience with faults you want to overlook because it does so many things right. However, this isn’t always possible. After a while, talking with NPCs becomes a drag and too many gameplay elements rely on luck. People looking for a challenge and an interesting story, however, will be satisfied.

    Funcom’s return to single-player games feels more like a proof of concept than an actual game. Walking simulators are fine, but they have to make up in story and atmosphere what they lack in terms of gameplay and player interaction. The Park doesn’t achieve that. It’s dull, the scares are cheap and the characters lifeless.

    Animation Arts has again created a felicitous adventure in its well known adventure series Secret Files. Secret Files 3 (Geheimakte 3) brings great and diversified puzzles (for experts maybe to easy sometimes) and again mixes a fictitious story with real historical events. Even the mini games are fitting in and leave you the choice of two levels of difficulty. Orchestration, dramatic and cinematic presentation in Secret Files 3 are great and the game even provides several playable characters also as endings - depending on the decisions you make. Although the game lacks optimization of animations and the graphic presentation is getting kind of outdated due to the age of the engine, the game still looks pretty good. Overall it's quite a recommendation for all adventure gamers.

    Icarus is a hardcore survival game with an innovative concept. Despite its great potential, the story is non-existent. The game punishes playing alone and is in dire need of some polishing when it comes to enemy AI and bugs.

    Kirby’s Dream Buffet could be a fun little party game. While the level design is undoubtedly polished, it really doesn't offer enough content to be fun on a longer term. The biggest downside however is that the game offers also no local four player splitscreen-mode which kind of destroys its purpose as a party game.

    Chronos: Before the Ashes is not a groundbreaking twist on the formula of souls-likes, but delivers a rock-solid package of gameplay and rarely gets frustrating. The only real issues are the almost non-existent story-telling and the missing map makes backtracking a little tedious.

    Alone in the Dark has a few problems like the clunky combat system and some technical issues. But overall it’s a fun horror adventure with an absolute brilliant atmosphere.

    Operation Flashpoint turns out to be a quite acceptable first person shooter, that requires a lot of tactics. Unfortunately the game shows the same problems as its predecessor Dragon Rising: bad AI and boring repetitive missions.

    We Are Football is an attempt to reproduce the success of old classics like the old EA Football Manager. The Emphasis here is on “attempt”, because the game fails miserably. Missing licenses, a broken transfer market and a lack of explanations are just some of the things that went wrong. Only a few things make the game playable at all: It is very beginner-friendly and has 40 Leagues from 22 Countries. Moreover, missing Clubs can be added via a very detailed Editor. We Are Football can produce some fun, but only if you lower your standards.

    If you’re unsure whether to go for Dirt Rally or Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo, choose the former. Loeb Rally may come with a huge amount of content, but suffers from other severe flaws: from a technical standpoint, Loeb Rally is pretty much outdated and at no point during our time with the game, driving was ever really enjoyable. Every car feels weirdly stiff to control and gives the player little to no feedback. So if you have the choice, stick with Dirt Rally. Everything Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo has going for it, Dirt 3 already did a better job at.

    A solid cover shooter with nice visuals and a fascinating story that gets dragged down by one of the laziest, most broken PC ports of all time. Wait till patched or play on Xbox One.

    The newest DLC for Saints Row 4 is also the most disappointing one. The setting is really cool, but it seems like the developers did not know how to use it for their typical Saints humor. There are fewer gags than in the previous DLCs and they are not as good. Only in a few moments does Gat out of Hell get funny. The design of the missions is also pretty lame. Even main missions are nothing but side-quests which are already known from its predecessors. Fans of the Saints will have some fun, but overall the game is too expensive for its content.

    Pokémon Champions scores points with a strong combat system and stable online matches. Technically, however, the game exhibits several weaknesses that tarnish the otherwise positive overall impression.

    Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile is a successful adaptation of the classic novel from the 1930s. It respects the source material without being an exact copy while also adding some fun twists, such as a time leap into the 70s. Definitely worth a try for fans of detective adventures, at least if one doesn't mind the minor technical issues.

    Biomutant is a solid open world game. While the world of the third person adventure looks really beautiful and charming, the RPG has also a lot of weaknesses like the unpretentious story and many technical issues. There are not only graphic and audio bugs in the game, on consoles Biomutant crashed multiple times and we had to repeat our progress more than once. On the other hand, the RPG has a good combat system and it is really fun to fight against varied enemies.

    The second DLC brings a few amusing quests to the otherwise more serious story of Kingdom Come and fits perfectly to the character of Sir Hans Capon. Sadly the questline is way too short and the usual player will complete it in less than three hours. For the price of the DLC we would have expected a little bit more. Even though the dice tournament is really fun and a welcome variety.

    Rise of Venice is a motivating business simulation set in the 15th century in the Mediterranean Sea. It comes with detailed 3D-graphics, a large scale with a dynamic trade system and manifold possibilities of commerce and politics and should entertain you for months. Perhaps beginners will be overly challenged in the further progress of the game when many trade routes need to be managed, missions should be accomplished, and people are starving because of famine and pirate attacks on your ships.
