A lot of The Crew seems hardly thought-out, almost chaotic but there is still a lot of good hidden underneath these problems.

Were this a free offer on a mobile device, maybe to tease a coming new The Dark Eye game, this would have right and reason to exist. As it is – for ten, respectively 20 bucks – it's just a deplorable exploitation of a well known name to sell people a shoddy product.

Just like in the books and on TV, the story manages to dangle a carrot of hope in front of you, just out of arms' reach. In contrast to a world beyond repair – like in The Walking Dead, where every death is more of a salvation, really – Game of Thrones' rays of hope turn all its facets of demise into emotional shrapnel that hits you all the harder. It's going to be a cold, hard Winter.

When a toothless campaign and the restrictive unlock policy are the only real problems a new Sturmovik has, sim fans know they're not making a mistake in picking this up.

With a lot of affection for their own past, Lucid Games have given a well-loved classic a new kind of drive.

It's downright glorious in its focus on local multiplayer. Cramming your room with seven friends and playing this until dawn like it was the mid-2000's is just the best reminder of why I love video games.

You know and recognize the Telltalte template, sure, but the funny Tales from the Borderlands draws a lot of entertainment value from removing itself from the more dramatic Wolf among Us and The Walking Dead.

The intriguing premise and some cleverly written cast members just serve to showcase that Randal's Monday not only could have been salvageable, it could even have been a really good game.

It says Pokemon on the box and that's what you get: A loving rework of 2003's GBA game that beats Pokemon X and Y in technical terms. Some issues of the originals are still present here, but don’t do much to lessen the package.

LittleBigPlanet 3 doesn't care if you just want to experience the steady stream of community creations or strive to become a creator yourself. It's just a fantastic, welcoming place where you can have fun with the simplest of things.

It's an attractive game, then, and easy to pick up, but also a tad too static and shallow in its tactics. You're not making the biggest mistake of your life if you give this a chance. But at the same time, you could just as well finally try and finish XCOM in 'Ironman' mode.

Escape Dead Island is a perfectly functional, if flat and quite interchangeable experience.

It's still a solid Nowitzki's wingspan away from being anything as good as 2K's series, but NBA Live 15 might actually be the most a sports game has ever improved from one year to the next.

Even though some might find the asking price for this single player expansion a bit too steep right out of the gate, in terms of quality and content, Ardennes Assault leaves little to be desired.

PES 2015 just lives and breathes Soccer. After years of decent iteration on the series' core tenets, I almost didn't expect something as impressive as this. That being said, it's just a crying shame Konami seemingly insists on confirming every single stereotype one might have had when it comes to the pathologically shaky online aspect.

Even though Unity arguably is the braver game of the two, Rogue might just be the better one.

You know how these go: Another LEGO game that is just a lot of fun for young and old to explore. TT Games reliably delivers the well-known quality.

Sure, it's a calculated affair. But the well known formula still makes Far Cry 4 a very welcoming shooter-sandbox with a refreshing knack for chaos.

It's the only RPG you'll need this winter and finally a worthy heir to Origins, last generation's best role-playing game.

Not only does GTA V on PS4 and Xbox One set a new benchmark for HD remakes, it's also a challenge to the games originally made for this new generation.

Almost everything Unity does better than its predecessors comes with a caveat we wouldn't have to talk about today if Ubisoft had shown more will to renovate the basics. Still, you get what it says on the box, thanks to a solid multiplayer even a bit more. This year, that's good enough for me. But I'd be lying if I said I was still excited about what this new generation holds for Assassin's Creed.

Even though it's not quite a perfect collection, it's a dazzling value and a brilliant way to prepare for Halo 5: Guardians.

The gameplay really is to be commended, even though in aiming for the mass market, musically, Fantasia loses a bit of its soul.

Even without the massive technical problems, this would be a generic world with generic characters and antagonists.

It's faster, more elegant and plays really diversely thanks to the depth the weapon, perk and upgrade systems bring.

Carbine never was set to reinvent the wheel. But they put a nice set of custom rims on their vehicle. And then they strapped the whole thing on a space shuttle and send it into space.

Taken as a toy, Trap Team overshadows everything I had as a kid.

Even though it has its qualities, ultimately, the just above-average DriveClub isn't worthy of the team that kick-started racing games on the PS3 so spectacularly.
