As a reviewer, I was bored, as a gamer I was confused, and as a fan, I was disappointed. Ubisoft’s indifference for a long-running and beloved series is a problem, and I hope they realize that.

Despite how [The Park’s] conclusion stands out as both horrifying and emotionally resonant, the plot suffers in a lead-up that can feel a bit aimless.

Rock Band 4 is definitely a great game for all the rock stars out there. Bands who have been just itching to get back into the swing of the living room world tour will be happy to see that their medium has not changed all that much, but has added small things to reinvigorate the series.

There’s no denying that this thing serves up big heaping piles of fun.

Cute Things Dying Violently is a boring, frustrating, mediocre physics game that’s been done a hundred before and a hundred times better.

Despite its awkward dialogue and handful of plot missteps, Life Is Strange’s conclusion cements its story as one of the more noteworthy in recent videogames. This final episode may not be the strongest, but its impressive level of wit and emotional honesty encapsulates what makes Dontnod’s titles special.

Rememoried is a visual feast with some clever puzzles, but there’s a much better game waiting to be made.

It’s a simple premise that’s executed perfectly.

If it wasn’t for some questionable design choices with the game’s most important element, it could have been a flawless experience.

Vermintide is the best kind of game, then; the kind where whimsy dictates the events, but personal skill influences the outcome. Looking at the overwhelming number of my Steam friends that are currently playing, I can see already that Vermintide will quickly become the next title that everyone’s friends will be playing.

What Halo fans should worry about is that Halo 5 drops best practice when it comes to gradually increasing campaign difficulty and replaces them with a formula that counts the number of mini bosses already defeated and respawns them all plus one more boss every few levels. Trust me, when you’re fighting 3 identical bosses at once, the whole encounter feels like it lacks originality.

If you’re a fan of the Budokai Tenkaichi series and are looking for a new fighter in the same cloth, a fan of anime looking for a new series to get into (it’s on Netflix), or just a fan of fighters looking for something other than Mortal Kombat to play with a friend, I’d say this one is definitely worth a look.

Light on content but heavy on freedom, Rebel Galaxy is a charming romp through a frontier brimming with choices to make.

There is promise, but it wasn’t quite executed to its full potential. This is a series that would benefit greatly if it strayed away from the yearly instalment model to really refine every aspect of the franchise. This was a chance to right the ship, but Ubisoft really didn’t do a lot to make this game stand out. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate suffers from clunky gameplay and a paper-thin plot filled with flat characters.

Elite: Dangerous isn’t a terrible game, but I don’t think it was made for mass appeal.

Ride is a middle ground between arcade fun, and simulation-style detail. Unfortunately, its confusion between the two sides makes it a little awkward to completely get behind.

The game’s quite simple, a basic one-hit fighter with a cool design. It can be fun to play, but I don’t see any staying power.

The game doesn’t judge you for the type of warden you choose to be.

Inching closer to demise in Sublevel is a tightening vice that’ll persist past every destroyed core and through every wormhole.

Dragon Quest Heroes feels like a simple distraction, but it actually has quite a bit of depth.

Transformers: Devastation fails to fire on all cylinders, as the game is too short, and boasts a small choice of characters to play as.

Beyond Sol is one of those rare games that smooshes genres together that don’t usually get along, with an end result that is incredibly rewarding.

Despite its confusing introduction and uneven narrative, Wasteland 2 is successful at what it sets out to do. It maintains the spirit of its predecessor without feeling like it’s been designed for pre-existing fans of the genre to enjoy.

It’s a wonderful, dazzling little world Thunder Lotus created, and you just might learn something while you’re playing.

It’s not as balanced as its counterparts, but it’s still a really fun game.

There is nothing wrong with Yoshi's Woolly World. It's fun, progresses in difficulty and has everything one would expect from a Yoshi game, but it feels generic.

Absurdly uncommon bugs aside, The Escapists: The Walking Dead is a very fun little game.

While the sweetest fruits will be saved for those with an appreciation of philosophy and history, the elation of solving a puzzle that you spent an evening trying to crack is a reward that anyone can enjoy.
