Dungeons 3
 – 

Great Dungeonbuilder

Well as the title says, this is a great dungeon builder. The single player campaign is extensive and well rounded. The difficulty slowly increases while you learn new features and gain new creatures.
The story is written with a lot of dry and sometimes really silly humor. It pokes fun at all the usual videogame and fantasy tropes.
All together a really fun and worthwhile experience.

A great mishmash

Some parts are good, like the fighting system and other parts, like the art style are rather bad. The level design is bland and the art style strange at best. Why do the natives look exactly like the colonists? Why does everyone remark that the main character looks strikingly like a native when everyone does? Why do you have to mix modern tatoos, with victorian colthing and outlandish native cloths? Why do the faces of the people alltogether look look like they are all undead?
The story is weird. People talk in circles and tend to be, just like the art, rather bland. You do not feel involved at all while playing or making desicions in dialogs. Often you would like to answer a certain way, but you are not even allowed a choice.
In the story the natives are "good" and the colonists are "bad". And yes its about that bland and shallow through out the game.
The companions do not even try to behave like people but rather want to be silly modern stereotypes (weak male, strong female).
The whole game has a "I am not made for PCs" feel about it. You can climb walls only if you have the necessary skill but you can not jump. There are a bunch of invisible walls and animals only turn up for a short time till they vanish in thin air.
My final verdict: This game could be good, if a lot changed and if it would get a more believable story and characters.

Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition
 – 

Fallout is just what it is

This is a great game, if you like the idea of freedom. The main story is shallow and ridiculous but the game throws so many side quests at you that you wont realise that for a long time. Killing a cyborg to get his brain implant so you can lure a terminator to a place where you can get his teleporter chip to finally storm a secretive bunkersociety is what I would call ridiculous.

But the main story does not matter at all. The game is full with weird and interesting places and the DLCs are actually really good.

The Last Door Season 2: Collector's Edition
 – 

Have you seen the yellow sign?

Well even though the clear connection of the game with the Hastur mythos of the Chambers fantasy is obvious the game does not directly show anything clear enough.
All together this is a great story driven game with a sublime horror aspect that I had great fun in exploring. As with all of these point & click adventures, the big question is "what are the puzzles like". Well from my experience the puzzles are not that difficult or weird. You should be able to solve most of them without getting your brain into knots or using a walkthrough. They indeed help the story rather than frustrate the player.

A beauty

This truly is a beautiful game. The hand painted sceens are a joy to behold and everything seems to fit together very well.
The only thing that makes the game fall short of a 5 star review are these two facts:
1. Its just too short - too little game time.
2. some of the puzzles are only solvable with a walkthrough.

Worlds of Magic
 – 

Master of Magic in 3D

Well as the title states, this game is the old master of magic in 3D. All the good things of original can be found here. So if you liked Master of Magic, you will like this game too.

The only "problem" with this new version is the only thing they have changed form its predessor - the 3D graphics. They are nicely done and pretty colorful but tragically this really, to a degree at least, takes away the easy overview you had in the old Master of Magic. It is now way more difficult not to overlook a crucial mapicon.

Dungeons 2
 – 

THIS IS IT!

Yes! Finally! YAY!
Finally someone made a new and even better version of the old masterpiece Dungeon Master. This time around you do not only battle underground in your own dungeon but also above the ground, taking cities and wiping out enemy strongholds. :-)
The story is so filled with puns and jabs at the fantasy genre that there were missions where I had trouble concentrating on the mission objective because I just couldnĀ“t help laugthing.

In summation: I endorse this game!

Endless Legend Emperor Pack
 – 

Wow, just wow!

Really this game has it all:

- Civilization-like settling and city building.
- Tactical combat.
- Research that actually is vital to your civilization.
- Army equipment editor.
- Diplomacy (even though that feature is maybe the weakest point in this game)
- Quests
- Extremely different playing factions.
- Science-Fantasy setting that gets a lot of its lore from the world of Endless Space.

Together Endless Legend is one of those games that anyone who has interest in roundbased strategy should buy and play.

The Wolf Among Us (Telltale Key)
 – 

Storytelling like it should be

This game is like watching a great movie in which you control the main plot developments. Anyone who likes a comic-style, a bit melodramatic and very well thought out story with a bunch of twists and turns, should definitively buy this game.
