    Dark Souls II
    For all its little tweaks, Dark Souls II is, foremost, a game made for Souls players. It is a game that asks everything of you and gives so much back, keeping its cards close to its chest, and revealing them only to those prepared to die and die again. It is made to be played for hundreds, if not thousands, of hours as you try new builds, explore PVP and experiment with covenants, all the while slowly peeling back the layers of its lore.

    The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 2 - A House Divided
    Sadly, the technical turbulence that has blighted previous episodes remains – the QTE-powered action beats, though well staged, are hobbled by pauses and awkward transitions, even on PC.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
    Sadly, any gains made here are squandered by woolly controls, a dearth of feedback and infuriating inaccuracy even with aiming assist dialed up to maximum.

    South Park: The Stick of Truth
    So, yes, their irreverent take on the medium may have a few technical shortcomings, but you’ll usually be grinning far too much to care.

    The Banner Saga
    Bold and distinctive. [March 2014, p.102]

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
    Lords Of Shadow 2 is clunky, ugly and deeply misguided. It’s a game that sees the lord of the damned as a vehicle for rat-powered linear stealth, and that takes a future-Gothic London setting and then sets the action in tower blocks and sewers.

    Thief
    Thief is far from the disaster that many feared it would be, and fans who take the time to customise their settings ahead of their first playthrough will find a rewarding world here to pick clean. Nevertheless, it’s still difficult to shake the feeling that, for all his dexterity, Garrett has stumbled in his attempt to gain access to a new generation.

    Rambo: The Video Game
    It’s a B-movie game in every sense, but approach it with sufficiently lowered expectations, and you may just be pleasantly surprised.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
    Sadly, that fresh new take on combat is hamstrung by a camera that can’t keep up with the elaborate effects, animations and blistering speed.

    Tengami
    Tengami’s world is as rich and stimulating as any you’re likely to find on iOS, but there’s something missing. Like an origami crane, it’s an admirable piece of craftsmanship, but the result remains rather flimsy and lightweight.

    Earth Defense Force 2025
    EDF was never about careful aiming or strategic cover or any of the other things that drive modern shooters, though – it’s about superior firepower earned through RPG grind, but 2025 has made the happy grind gruelling.

    Strider
    A sensitive update for a series many thought would stay stuck in the past.
    • 83 Metascore

    Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
    During Tropical Freeze’s most exacting sequences, you may yearn for Mario’s reliability, but the bludgeoning force of Retro’s presentation is enough to carry a powerful, if traditional, platformer over the finish line.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 - Smoke and Mirrors
    Yet even with another cliffhanger to keep you on tenterhooks until Episode Three, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see audience interest starting to wane, particularly if Telltale continues to treat us more as viewers than as players.

    Strike Vector
    There’s a great twitch game beneath this hostile exterior, but Ragequit can’t afford to test players’ endurance on so many levels if its niche shooter is to thrive.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    TxK
    This is twitch gaming at its finest, with beautifully tuned thumbstick controls and a pulsing rave soundtrack that only seems to focus the mind more sharply.
    • 92 Metascore

    Threes!
    Threes is uncommonly sweet, though it can feel a little insubstantial.
    • 75 Metascore

    Jazzpunk
    Games are so rarely funny by design, but Jazzpunk is much more than a funny videogame. It’s a comedy, and one that wouldn’t be possible – or anywhere near as powerful – in any other medium.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Castle Doctrine
    A curious game about exploiting systems and psychology. The discussions surrounding it deal in politics and morality, because it’s a game about Rohrer’s response to a controversial real-world issue. Yet The Castle Doctrine’s notoriety ends up feeling like another fakeout – a disconnected conceptual commit gate at the entrance of an often-frustrating sandbox puzzler.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Surge Deluxe
    The only occasionally clumsy element in Surge Deluxe’s otherwise efficiently streamlined processes is you – or, rather, your big fat finger. Tracing lines between blocks obscures the screen, which can make quick, precise movements difficult, especially between narrow gaps.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Unepic
    Unepic is a perfectly serviceable platform-RPG, but Unremarkable might have been a more apposite title.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Octodad: Dadliest Catch
    Octodad: Dadliest Catch asks you to overlook an awful lot more than plot holes.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    OlliOlli
    Pulling off tricks in OlliOlli – each precision twist, rotation and flick of the Vita’s left analogue stick – feels as satisfying for your fingers to negotiate as any fighting game finishing move. So even if you’re terrible at the game, even if you can’t land a single trick or grind, even if your scores barely creep into triple digits, your avatar’s tumbling faceplant will still imprint the outline of a grinning mouth in the pavement.

    Max: The Curse of Brotherhood
    The constant flow of new sights and well-thought-out puzzles that make up the bulk of the game provide more than enough motivation to see this rescue attempt through to the end.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Nidhogg
    Nidhogg is not about lengthy stage lists, improvable online systems, fussy control mapping or AI. Nidhogg is about the purity of two friends on a couch duking it out as Daedelus’s moody dynamic electronica frames acrobatic displays of wits and reflexes. In that sense, it has no equal.

    Don't Starve: Console Edition
    It's never stronger than in its opening hours, and if it never quite recaptures that first heady whiff of discovery, it at least keeps you on the edge of your seat thanks to its punishing design, the stakes rising in tandem with your achievements.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rhythm Thief & the Paris Caper
    All but shorn of their narrative context, the missions can feel rather inconsequential, disconnected from the truncated plot and lacking the variety and invention of some of the 3DS game’s later missions.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Broken Age: Act 1
    Double Fine’s adventure is confident and charming, the studio feeling its way to a comfortable mid-point between the desires of adventure-game fans and its own motivation to move the genre forward – even if only by a small increment.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Blacklight: Retribution
    At a base level, this is simply too forgettable to give players a good enough reason to return. Perhaps it would be different if Zombie had been more lenient with its economy, allowing you to try more before committing to buy.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Warframe
    Strip out the poor parkour and clunky melee and all you’re left with is a shooter, and a workmanlike one at that.
