Total War: Troy makes some curious changes to the Total War formula, but the less streamlined resource system, extra micromanagement, and weird mix of reality and mythology work against its favour to create a less than entrancing experience.
A masterpiece class of game design which surpasses your every expectation.
A worthy 3D follow-up of one of the best 2D adventure games around.
A surprisingly polished game that's as immersive and exciting as it is relaxing, Hardspace: Shipbreaker makes disassembling ships in Zero-G a blast.
A seemingly faithful adaptation of a German RPG franchise that may be too detached and boring for modern players.
A slight update to models and textures doesn't solve Mafia 2's myriad problems from a decade ago, nor justify a purchase if you don't own it yet.
A lore-breaking spinoff that removes most of what makes the new XCOM special and replaces it with short bouts of repetitive tactical combat and bad writing.
An amazing looking game with an interesting premise, let down by shallow gameplay and stuttered flow of story and dialogue
A good expansion that adds factions hitherto unlike any other in 3K
A much needed expansion which still doesn't deliver some pretty important facets.
A fantastic map and setting are let down by a boring story and rushed gameplay.
A bit of an odd beast that isn't as major as previous DLC, but still fills an important gap in WWII history.
A successful update of a great game's presentation, but which removes a number of features that may leave old fans hurting.
If you want a sci-fi, difficult timing-based combat game with that unforgiving hardcore Dark Souls touch, you can't go wrong with The Surge 2.
An interesting DLC with a fantastic weapon system and concept, but somewhat of a letdown execution
A very capable turn-based sci-fi 4X game that mixes Civ with squad-based tactics.
An interesting game that scratches the detective itch, without ever reaching great heights.
Great if you like Chaos stuff and wants to spread the curses of the Dark Gods through all stellar winds.
A surprisingly good minor DLC which effects can be felt throughout almost a whole campaign.
A capable yet uncreative and unimpressive game that feels straight out of the early 2000s.
