The live concept is fresh and surprisingly well implemented, the new controller brings a new spin to rhythm games and with GHTV you have two channels of 24/7-songchoice. But the attached microtransactions are too omnipresent.

More interactive movie than classic adventure this is one of Telltale’s best stories that seamlessly fits into the universe created by Gearbox.

Even though Life is Strange doesn’t utilize all its potential on the final stretch this is a strong emotional finish to a cracking mystery thriller.

Explosive, difficult and gloriously daft: Broforce brings you pure testosterone in gaming form.

This is a very good port of a game that captures the fascination “space” like no other adventure out there – with all the strengths and weaknesses that you could witness with its PC brother.

The narrative is interesting and as much as I like “experimental” games, this remains a little too shallow in almost every aspect.

After the slow descent of indie horror games Stairs is a ray of hope. The atmosphere is tense. Exploration, puzzles, suspense and dramatic getaways are well balanced. But the story lacks depth and I actually could do without the bugs.

The art direction is simply beautiful. But unfortunately the devs didn’t have the same attention to detail when it came to bug fixing and level- or puzzle design.

Mechanically Harmonix has outdone themselves. The freestyling for guitarists and vocalists works well and adds to an already motivating partygame. But the omissions of quickplay setlists, treaining or asynchronous competition as well as the unoptimized import of legacy content rather makes me go back to the old gen versions, which, at this point in time, deliver a more complete experience.

With its dice rolling it lacks the dynamics of modern videogames and the lowgrade AI might kill all the fun in offline play. But if you compete online this is a faithful recreation of the tabletop game.

Who would have though that Optimus Prime one day would be the protégé of the umbra witch Bayonetta. The fight system is tight, but not complex at all. And visuals with the distinctive 80s cartoon look are spot on. Platinum delivers the best Transformers game in a while.

From time to time the glory of old times shines through and you start having fun. That is, before you are brought down again by the uninspired level design, the outdated visuals and the redundant missions.

The surreal world shows a lot of potential but fights as well as puzzles are too simple and too monotonous too often.

There is so much humour, love and imagination to be found in Undertale that one can hardly resist. The 8-bit visuals aside there is so much to find in here that I can recommend it to any fan of old school JRPGs – and all without fighting. Awesome.

The omnipresent paywalls are a constant thorn in my side. But still this is the best Lego game Traveller’s Tales has produced since the original Lego Star Wars. The idea to incorporate the Toypad into the puzzles is genius, where virtual and real Lego worlds merge.

This year's iteration still has its flaws like the inconsistent career and the coin system. But nonetheless right now this is still the best sports game out there.

Even after the second finale questions are left open – questions that might not be answered after Hideo Kojima had to leave the franchise behind. But he also leaves an impressive piece of work as his legacy. It is not without flaws and the mission design relies a little too much on recycling. But the freedom you enjoy while on your missions is exemplary.

With high octane vehicles being the new star I was shocked how slow and old-fashioned SuperChargers gets out of the blocks. But once they reach second gear the mixture of old-fashioned jump&run and vehicular exploration/racing/combat becomes one of the best toys-to-life games out there.

Soma is a prime example for Frictional Games strengths’ in terms of world conception, direction and storytelling. Get ready to be drawn in a disturbing world of machine beings.

If you have the originals on PS3, you might not need this. But if you are new to the series, this collection gives you some of the best games for Sony systems.

Classic old-school turn-based tactics with modern visuals. It doesn’t set new standards, but keeps you entertained for hours with its attention to detail and proven formula.

Like on PC the star is undoubtedly the cartoony art design with its hand drawn backgrounds and animations that make you feel like watching a mafia show on Adult Swim. The mechanics are as conservative as can be, though.

The presentation leaves something to be desired here and there but in terms of content you’ll get a decent mixture of diplomacy and warfare in a 16th century setting.

FIFA offers some fresh impulses that could prove fruitful in the years to come. But while presentation is as good as it gets the flow on the pitch suffers.

This is a grand simulation of ice hockey. But it while it shows off a few improvements the big significant changes are still missing.

Hatsune Miku’s 3DS gig delivers. Personally I don’t like the chosen style, but that doesn’t mean that I cannot appreciate the rhythm game hiding under there. If it only would be more accurate when it comes to swipe movements of the stylus.

It is good to see that it is not only Harmonix trying to push boundaries with rhythm games. The concept is simple yet genius. The execution takes a little time to get used to and then it is over all too soon. But it is great fun while it lasts.

The point & click adventure stages the story of an extruded clown in a very unconventional way.
