The title is a milestone.

The first episode of Daedalics The Pillars of the Earth is beautifully designed, has a great presentation but slightly too little gameplay. However it gives you a thrilling and interesting story to enjoy.

I do not want to imagine how good the game would have been with a fixed level layout. Hopefully Chasm and Deadcells - both Metroidvanias with random levels - will get better soon.

I find the illustrations of Pyre to be beautiful and do not need photo-realistic graphics to put me in a setting.

The puzzles and the forward and rewinding function have been implemented too half-heartedly, for which the action ends too often in predictable and unconstrained paths.

More fine-tuning would have led to a higher score and a little less frustrating moments wouldn’t have been bad either, but after all the game makes a positive impression.

Nex Machina hits the bull´s eye! At least for gamers who don’t expect more than shooting-fun to the core, just like in the old arcade days.

Although the combination of walking simulator and stealth game doesn’t work, I had positive feelings about Get Even as the credits rolled.

The grandmaster of fighting games reclaims his title.

While I was playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew alone, I couldn’t stop cursing the mundane gameplay, the dull waiting time and the technical flaws. But together as a team, the cooperative idea worked immediately and I would have liked to never leave the USS Aegis or the Enterprise again.

Some may prefer the accessible Master of Orion, some may want the complexity and diversity of Stellaris. Bur for now Endless Space 2 is my first choice: challenging, suspenseful and sufficiently versatile, but still accessible enough, so I don’t tumble into one failure after another.

If you're looking for a "best of" from Star Control 2, Out There, Lunar Lander and FTL - The Long Journey Home could be the right choice. The procedurally generated universe, combined with handmade quests and alien stories can offer much fun - BUT - beware of many randomized situations, that can lead very fast into frustration. Controls are tricky to master and the planetary conditions can be very painful while harvesting for resources. Managing your crew and resources, trade, fight, interact with aliens - the gameplay offers great variety but also repetitive minigames like orbiting, landing, jumping, same dialogues all the time. Graphics and sound are ok, voice acting is missing and the menus are not well designed. Potential is great, but not good enough designed, to guarantee satisfying gameplay.

Strong characters, thrilling story, but I expected more from the final episode. […] It’s obvious that your previous decisions have no real effect and especially the most emotional storyline lacks a satisfying conclusion.

From my perspective roguelike is a rather frustrating genre. I find it annoying to lose my progress all the time and don’t get much from the randomness of the procedural generated worlds in most of these games. However, because of my fondness for space shooters, I gave Everspace a chance – and to my surprise, it convinced me.

In its best moments, Impact Winter delivers an existentialist experience that is pushing the stress level to the max, demands moral decisions and meets other genre representatives like Don’t Starve or This War of Mine at eye level. […] On the other side, there are many things to complain about.

Would play it again anytime. There’s so much to discover.

A creative idea, but unfortunately the execution is not ideal.

A poorly presented shooter with a lousy open word, that fails to focus on his own strengths. Therefore, I can recommend the game only to the hardcore fans of marksmanship.

Just briefly entertaining NBA Jam-clone with mushy controls, flaws in balancing and way too overpriced.

Although The Surge has many similarities with its spiritual predecessor Lords of the Fallen, I strongly prefer this Sci-Fi-Horror-Trip. This is not only due to the strong combat system and its bloody finishers, but also due to the crafting, which is smartly interlocked with the fighting and the simplistic character development.

Deformers could be a great game. It has cute graphics, a clear gameplay and a lot to offer. But the problem is: there’s nobody to play against, because there are no players online.

Although Prey never rises to the first Bioshock for me anyway, but it does not have to be: If you are looking for a game in the style of a System Shock and do not expect an exceptionally good shooter, you'll get an exciting, comprehensive and challenging Sci- Survival adventure.

Although What Remains of Edith Finch is a very short game (three to four hours), it offers a brilliantly intriguing story and an amazing gameplay specially tailored for every character. Beautiful and bittersweet.

Not all aspects in Flinthook fit together seamlessly. Above all, it’s a game for lenient genre-fans.

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.

Eerily beautiful, but after some time the horror feeling of the predecessor goes missing. […] The setting in the pampa of Arizona is fitting and the atmosphere works very well, but overall I prefer the previous game.

Atmospheric horror platformer with obvious gameplay flaws.

Dawn of War 3 is a really good RTS game und should satisfy any fan of Warhammer with its epic campaign.
