If you want more story, higher production quality and more layers of control that is fine, but try looking elsewhere. If you are like me and not the greatest strategy player in the world but still want to feel the thrill of managing an army to victory, then this game is for you.

Even though it doesn’t innovate much from its predecessors, it stays true the core mechanics that has made the Total War series some of the best strategy games to date.

It is, in no uncertain terms, a waste of money.

The Marvellous Miss Take is a fun and near flawless heist adventure.

If you loved Saints Row IV, you will love Gat out of Hell. There’s plenty of content here and even though much hasn’t changed, playing as Johnny Gat in Hell translates to a humorous adventure with exaggerated gameplay elements that only Saints Row can deliver.

Dying Light just about fires on all cylinders. The immensely satisfying gameplay, stunning visuals, and horrifying nights makes this easily one the best survival horror games to come out in the last couple of years.

If you like Game of Thrones, “The Lost Lords” is solid, and expected given the ebb and flow of the show it follows. If you don’t, on top of thanking you for bearing with this so far, I would advise you to watch the show first, and then go back to Episode 1.

There’s nothing quite like it out there – even SpaceChem is only thematically similar – so who knows, maybe it will awaken the passion of some budding physicists. It’s more likely, however, to merely serve as a warning against future game ideas based on subatomic particles.

It was truly one of the perfectly executed platformers that I have played thus far.

Soundtrack aside, LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is a comic fan’s absolute delight.

If you are looking for a game that will keep you entertained for hours, you’ll be best off looking elsewhere. The enjoyment I did find, I found when playing it in quick 10-20 minute sessions but anything longer than that the repetitiveness of the game would wear on me causing boredom.

I found this to be a very fun and unique take on the genre.

The core experience in Tetris Ultimate is fondly familiar and as enjoyable as it was thirty years ago. As a product created to honor its legacy, however, it is lifeless and bland.

Overall, Storm Island is a ton of fun.

If you have any interest at all in Pokémon this game will surpass your expectations.

If you have any interest at all in Pokémon this game will surpass your expectations.

If you are in the mood to spend a weekend enjoying some graphic ultra-violence with your brain turned off, then Ryse: Son of Rome should make a nice addition to your library, especially if you can find it on a Steam sale.

The short experience failed to stand out and, though fun while it lasted, was entirely forgettable.

For all the clever and ‘clever’ references, for all of the time spent on building just that perfect retro feel, they didn’t bother making anything original, or really, memorable.

I played through the game’s first chapter before quitting in disgust and frustration. Syberia for the PlayStation 3 is a half-assed product.

Elegy For A Dead World delivers, but only if you meet it halfway with a hunger for derelict worlds and an extensive collection of original tales.

If you’re looking for a game massive, multifaceted, and fun enough to eat your life for the next six to twelve months, you’ve found it in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

If you already have a PlayStation 4 and want a wrestling game, WWE 2k15 will satisfy your wrestling urges, although next year’s game might be worth waiting for.

It’s a nostalgic trip, one that’s backed by some genuinely solid design.

The updated visuals, re-orchestrated soundtrack, added content, and ease of access make this compilation a must-have for any Kingdom Hearts fan.

This simple pool sim is as polished as a cue ball and belongs to anyone who likes the game.

As it stands, Jet Car Stunts is a slightly glitchy port of a mediocre game.

I hate to bash a game, but I felt like I was wasting my gaming time. When I play a console game, I either want an intriguing story, complex gameplay mechanics, or engaging competition all of which High Society has none.
