    It was a bit of a drag having to deal with the usual F2P restrictions but otherwise Empires & Allies is perfect for anyone who wants a fun mobile RTS they can take with them wherever they go.

    In its current launch state, Catlateral Damage doesn’t offer enough content to remain compelling over the long term. However, its unique premise combined with its abundant amount of potential could eventually give it the staying power it deserves.

    While there are some things that could use tweaking via a patch, Ultra Street Fighter IV has come to PlayStation 4 with flying colors.

    Despite some strong world design and a compelling soundtrack, Toren just can't keep up with the other great platformers on the market, even from the previous generation. The miserable visuals, combined with technical problems and loose gameplay, leave this journey coming up way short – and making us wish that The Last Guardian would surface sooner rather than later.

    It feels like neither game really shines as intended.

    If you're looking for an old-school side-scrolling action game that's along the lines of Dark Souls in logic (but not necessarily tone), Rogue Legacy is a sweet addition to your library. It's hard as heck at times, but progress can eventually be felt for those who stick with it, and the retro-style presentation will be right at home with classic NES/SNES gamers.

    It's a fine choice for fans of adventure games and Wild West lore alike. The game is always giving you something fun to do, and its open-ended nature warrants multiple playthroughs.

    The Witcher 3 is a huge game sure to satisfy fans of the genre and the series, and does a great job of welcoming new players by just being damn fun to play. While the combat falls short of Shadow of Mordor and games like Skyrim and Dragon Age: Inquisition both do many individual things better than this title, The Witcher 3 undoubtedly deserves a place beside the great action RPGs of the modern era.

    Lifeless Planet could've been so much more had key decisions been made with less limited breathing, more intricate puzzles, environmental expansion and better gameplay. Instead, it feels more like a second rate space adventure rather than the equivalent of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Oh, what could've been in the stars.

    The difficulty can be a bit much at times, but when all is said and done, there's no getting around the fact that the BunnyLord's team is one you want to be on.

    Ultratron won't gain a following like some of the better twin-stick shooters out there, mainly due to its lack of diversity and modes. Still, Puppy Games and Curve Studios did do something great with the concept, and if you don't mind a game that's a bit old-school, Ultratron will do you good.

    It may not be the most visually appealing shooter on the market but Zombies, Monsters, Robots makes up for its lack of graphical fidelity with solid gameplay, a robust community, and enough content to make even the most hardcore of shooter fans happy. Even better, since it’s an online game, Zombies, Monsters, Robots is constantly evolving which can mean only good things for the game’s future.

    While Color Guardians could've used more zest in its character personality – and a few more easygoing levels to keep rookie players in check – it's still a better game than expected, thanks to its interesting gameplay and crazy challenges. If you're a fan of running or rhythm, be sure to try on this Color.

    Had the development team at Wales really tried to make Infinity Runner stand out with more diverse level design and better freedom of control, it could’ve really been something. Instead, it drags its feet just when the game is getting up to speed, and literally trips over itself in the hopes of achieving speedy greatness.

    An unnecessary amount of initial complexity can’t stop Final Fantasy Record Keeper from being a solid mobile game that offers a fun, original adventure peppered with iconic elements from the series’ past.

    Its old-school vibe is irresistible, and the gameplay, while limited, has its explosive moments.

    As someone who has admittedly grown a bit tired with the Assassin’s Creed series, I found Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China to be an invigorating breath of fresh air.

    Had Project Root thrown in a better checkpoint system and a far more rockin' soundtrack, it could be considered one of the better retro-inspired shooters on the market. As it stands, only a certain few will be able to appreciate it with its high difficulty settings.

    With a little more elbow grease and a lot more consideration for the hardware at hand, State of Decay: Survival Edition could've found a strong second life on the Xbox One. Instead, it feels like it was rushed in several corners, and despite its stacked content, it doesn't quite live up to its potential.

    A fun, pick-up-and-play brawler that’s perfect if you’re looking to play a more engaging brawler on the go. However, its lack of ancillary features and focus on linear grinding make it quite obvious that EA only wants those who pay real money to have any long-term enjoyment.

    Sadly, because of the lackluster characters in Perils of Man, the game cracks under the weight of its own storytelling.

    Even without multiplayer, the game shines in nearly every aspect, and holds up the tradition of B.J. Blazkowicz's Nazi-killing provocatively well. If you loved the first game, this eight-hour adventure is just what you need.

    Ether One presents a spellbinding take on memory loss and what really goes on inside a person's head, but tedious voice acting, the pacing of certain puzzles, and the lack of guidance when some players need it the most may leave some folks just as confused as the poor woman who's going through all its torment.

    Pokémon Rumble World has its fun moments, but it takes a bit too long to get there and once there it plateaus quickly and falls off.

    While the game borrows some of the best elements from Mario and Kirby (among others), it also suffers from some nasty issues of its own. The unpredictable nature of the game's obstacles and artificial difficulty do more harm than good, resulting in a product that's only good for short sessions rather than simply being an overall great game.

    While the idea of bringing down behemoths is always a good one, the way Spike Chunsoft executes it is very flawed, to the point that it gets old after an hour in. Even the promise of online multiplayer isn't enough to fix the big problems on display here. Watch the TV series instead.

    There's a lot of fun to be had with JumpJet Rex, though the game sometimes goes out of its way to frustrate you.
