Diablo IV is a solid game.
What I like:
- Lots of fiddling and upgrading for items
- Long and interesting item progression
- exceptional grapical quality
- smooth gameplay
- build variety
What I find not so good:
- spikey gameplay, mostly too easy and suddenly difficult
- gameplay feels not varied enough. Even distinct bosses feel samey to most of the content
- tons of enemies to slash through, so most of them feel absolutely meaningless
- world bosses and legions events are laughable, its basically a slaughter fest and you have to be lucky to snatch a few enemies underneath the other players
- the whole MMO thing. Kinda neat having other players around, but also kinda meaningless and often irritating
- Sink in hours just for a little better gear
- SO MUCH PAYED CONTENT!!! WTF!!11!!eleven!!

If you loved Diablo 3 (I played it roughly 250 hours), you gotta love Diablo IV, but if you don't like these more casual games, I suggest to look elsewhere.

I love this game. The basic game loop is just awesome and the fighting mechanics are super fun. There is quite some grind, but it is always more in the background than the fore ground and because the general fighting is so fun, I hardly notice it. With the recent updates there are also enough endgame and optimization options, so it is more fun to stay in the game.
And don't get me started about the whole castle building. I love how many possibilites there are to build you castle and optimize it.
Full recommendation.

This is just such an awesome board game. I love the concept, I love the graphics, I love the trivia and I love the bird sounds. And best of all, it is quite the fun and competitive board game to play with 5 friends. The only thing I'm not too enthused about is the luck factor that sometimes comes into play. Still full recommendation.

I played through the game and I think besides the slighty monotous fighting and the sometimes slightly tedious puzzles, I loved the game a lot. It has such a unique experience. Especially the visuals and the atmosphere are just superbly done. And it's short, which in my book is a positive. Full recommendation.

I like Terraforming Mars, it's a complex game, that lasts a bit too long for my taste. But strategies are flexible and the UI is good. There could be a few more mouse overs for symbols and hints, if certain criteria are already met, when deciding to buy, but I guess most of this comes with experience...
At least you can play with you boardgame friends from home in the middle of a global pandemic, so not too sad about these minor complains.

On to another round of TM. :D

Tsuro is a nice, calming game where you try to make more point then the other players. I like it a lot, but it is a bit buggy. I hope it gets fixed and then it'll be a full recommendation.

It's a beautiful and absolutely rush-free, meditative build up game. You can just go on an on an on placing tiles trying to have all things align perfectly and starting a new game as soon as a previous game has ended. Full recommendation. Love this! <3 <3 <3

I love the Race for the Galaxy boardgame and I like the digital version of it as well, but I have to say, the UI could get an overhault. I think it is amazing, that they managed to make the digital version even less clearly laid out then the boardgame version. I would really love for a 4K-UI-Update, so you could actually use all the screen real estate that is available. Maybe with a future update, now that everyone is playing so many online boardgames and some more cash comes in. Fingers crossed.

Nice little game. Runs great in 4K, altough it looks a bit old, especially the story bits and lips sync vocalisation. Still I think it is worth a few hours of playing. Check it out.

It's a nice board game, similar to Agricola, were you basically want to do more, that can be done each turn, which makes it kinda fun to decide. And in the end it's mostly very tight. I fully recommend it.
