It's firmly rooted in the tradition of Bizarre Creations' glorious Project Gotham series, the best arcade racers there ever were. What more could you want from this?

As soon as you're on the ice, this is an entertaining enough Hockey game. But if you're looking for anything in the way of variety in terms of game modes, this is a difficult game to recommend. It plays well, but in this form it doesn't do enough to justify full-price.

After an absolutely splendid first half, Hack 'n' Slash suddenly starts to get pretty much impenetrable by Act 4, if you don't know your way around the logic of an algorithm. Right there, in the middle, the game just skips a few steps of badly needed explaining and – at times – just drains all the fun from the proceedings. It's a fascinating peek behind the workings of a game, for sure. It has heart, wits and a good sense of humor, but it will still lose a good amount of its players long before it's over.

All in all, this is again a wonderful and more lively piece of football, taking steps forward where it counts.

Come for the hilariously stupid premise, stay for the constant surprises.

Design-wise and in terms of using the Zelda license, Omega Force deserves a pat on the back. It's their best game to date.

At first, the fights are exciting and fresh, only to grind you down in endless repetition in overlong and boring levels.

Destiny is a worthwhile distraction, a visually classy playground that regularly manages to entertain for a few hours. But a true calling, it is not.

Clean, unadorned and never pretentious or ponderous elegance. It's an unapologetically modern game in a classic guise.

It might not yet feel as complete as the 'official launch' label on its Steam page suggests. But still, you have never seen anything remotely like this. And Uber Entertainment's game loses no opportunity to remind you of that.

They say familiarity breeds contempt. In the case of The Sims 4, that's certainly true for quite a portion of the audience that'll decide to sit this one out. The rest still believes familiarity to be a prestage to attachment and, sometimes, even love. Which camp do you sit in?

Even though the series as a whole could arguably do with an overhaul by now, Disgaea 4 still is one of the best tactical role-playing games around.

Even though the Old Iron King's gameplay twist isn't as meaningful as the one in the first DLC, and one of the bosses a mere copy, this is still a restless, disturbing march into the deepest of depths.

Still, I do kind of like Quest for Infamy, even though it doesn't hold a candle to the original. For a price of almost 15 Euros, that's a bit sad.

It's the unquestionable high point of a season that did not really know where it should to go. But maybe that's only apt, considering the bleak backdrop of a world where no one ever is safe.

Even before the half-way point you know: just like the old Bond movies, this game lives and dies by its charm. It's pretty, but shallow and doesn't quite feel complete.

That's Xillia 2's biggest problem: It's run time is bloated and the decisions the game presents you with are just illusions.

Hohokum is not a game to show this medium a new direction. Instead it points to where gaming came from, promoting a delightfully childish sense of play.

If you liked Second Son, First Light is a decently priced alternative to taking on the older game's campaign a second time. If you haven't played Second Son yet, though, at around 40 bucks now it's clearly the better deal.

In the end, it's almost more down to the things 4A did to improve the gameplay that make this pleasantly different pair of shooters stand out in their Redux iteration.

This is the rare case of an archetypical PC game that hasn't lost any appeal in it's translation to console. Colour me impressed.

15 years ago its systems were a step forward for the genre. Since then, games have come a long way, though. Still, there's some consolation to be had in the fact that, for all its faults, in its own way Risen 3 still ended up an endearing game.

This has been done so much better so many times, the world just doesn't need Gaiabreaker.

It's a good approach, but the execution leaves something to be desired in almost every area.

The score alone doesn't fully mirror how I feel about Gods will be watching. It represents what I think about it as a fair and entertaining game, which is what most people will be looking for. As an experiment and a lesson in adventure design, though, it's worth so much more.

The heart-rending story isn`t romanticizing nor does it drift into the pathos other, less subtle games so often lean towards. That's the line where good craftsmanship becomes art, and an excellent game.

The hunt for the crown is a great addition with lots of secrets and puzzles to uncover.

This is still a special game. Other worldly, offbeat and weird – few games have ever been so true to their name.
