A great classic returns to PC and it's still a great RTS experience. The Definitive Edition enrich the formula with a few quality of life improvements while maintaining its core gameplay overall intact, but at the same time there are some flaws, especially on the technical side. Still, the nostalgia operation works and Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is the best way to enjoy the classic Microsoft RTS today.

A good adventure game that faithfully recaptures the spirit of its predecessor while also welcoming new players with a few accessibility options and a storyline that can be appreciated even by those unfamiliar with Beneath a Steel Sky.

Aug 29, 2020

A solid RPG experience in the frozen wastelands of Colorado, that will satisfy gamers looking for hours and hours of rich quests in a nice post-apocalyptic setting.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest has an intriguing atmosphere and there are many choices that can affect the outcome of the story. Sadly, the story isn't all that memorable.

Not the best in the series but still fun and engaging, that comes with a few new gameplay modes, two civilizations and restored graphics.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is an honest game that might be worth checking out if you're interested in the setting or in its mixture of (light) RPG elements, action and stealth. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking.

7.5 / 10.0 - Hundred Days
May 10, 2021

Hundred Days is an interesting journey in the winemaking experience that is as unique as it is charming. As a management game it's not the most complex of the bunch, but it has enough depth to offer something interesting to people looking for something more than just a nice and relaxing atmosphere.

Net of some flaws to solve, the BioWare remaster can certainly be said to be a success and the Legendary Edition is the best way to get back on the Normandy and enjoy one of the most beautiful sci-ing sagas in the video game world.

7.9 / 10.0 - BIOMUTANT
May 24, 2021

A little more variety, especially in mission design, wouldn't have hurt, but Biomutant is still a fun game and a good debut for the Experiment 101 team.

6 / 10.0 - Chernobylite
Jul 28, 2021

A game with some interesting ideas and concepts, that sometimes manage to provide meaningful content to the players but are too often obscure by the deeply repetitive nature of gameplay and quest design.

8.1 / 10.0 - Jupiter Hell
Aug 5, 2021

Doom meets the roguelike genre and the result is a very fine game, proving that the demonic invasions and sci-fi atmosphere of id Software's masterpiece can work wonders even with a totally different gameplay.

8.8 / 10.0 - Psychonauts 2
Aug 23, 2021

Psychonauts 2 is a return to form for Double Fine Productions and a worthy successor to Razputin's first adventure.

7.7 / 10.0 - Encased
Sep 6, 2021

It doesn't quite manage to reach Fallout's brilliance and quality, but Encased is still a fun experience, capable of providing lots of meaningful possibilities and an interesting new post-apocalyptic world to explore.

8.6 / 10.0 - Age of Empires IV
Oct 25, 2021

Age of Empires IV won't shake the videogame world as much as its famed predecessors once did, but it's still a quality production from Relic Entertainment and a worthy addition to a legendary series of strategy games.

8.2 / 10.0 - Expeditions: Rome
Jan 18, 2022

Expeditions: Rome is the best title in the series yet, with an intriguing storyline that can be partially influnced by players choices and a deeply satistying combat system in which players can test their tactical prowess.

4.5 / 10.0 - The Waylanders
Feb 1, 2022

The Waylanders tries to follow on BioWare's footsteps but Gato Studio's game lacks all the qualities that made Dragon Age: Origins stands out.

7.3 / 10.0 - ELEX II
Feb 28, 2022

Elex II is not without its flaws and some of them can sometimes be quite jarring, but underneath them all is a nice action RPG that gets more than a few things right and that can provide many, many hours of entertainment.

8.6 / 10.0 - Weird West
Mar 31, 2022

Weird West isn't perfect but it's definitely a worthy successor to games like Dishonored and Prey and a great debut title from new team Wolfeye Studios.
