    Aside from its charming presentation and humorous characters, it all feels a little shallow, offering snippets of things we’ve seen hundreds of times before.

    This will change how a lot of us play the game, but there’s always the Wild format if you aren’t ready to let go of any of your cards. With a new set of nicely designed cards and a noticeable improvement in the artwork, this is a great addition to the Hearthstone Stable.

    A blisteringly fun early game can be dampened somewhat by the bloated middle and late stages, but Stellaris is another example of Paradox Interactive showcasing that they are the kings of grand strategy, and is a game that every fan of the genre should have in their collection.

    There are minigames which break up the constant narrative, such as bandaging someone up and taking tons of photos, but ultimately 1979 Revolution: Black Friday is much more of an interactive story than a game. It just so happens to be a story which is so well written and performed, that it will make you wonder about yourself as a person.

    Avoid this like the plague, and for god's sake, lads, hire yourself a better PR team.

    Superb writing and a unique combat system combine to make The Banner Saga 2 something quite special, in the same way it did back in 2014. The larger variety and frequent introduction of enemy types stops The Banner Saga 2 from becoming dull and repetitive. The Banner Saga is fast becoming one of the best series in modern games, with some of the strongest characterisation and world-building in years.

    Motocross fans are likely to be pleased, but those not into the extreme sport might not find it as enjoyable.

    Severed is a story about love. A girl’s love of her family and Drinkbox’s love for Vita. Repetitive combat and a tough difficulty spike limit the enjoyment, but there’s no reason every Vita owner shouldn’t at least give it a go.

    Although this game just secretes good vibes, it's never funny or clever enough to pass the critical eye. However, its light-heartedness and character is enough to play it through, and will have you dancing to the beat of the game for its duration.

    Some generic plots and sound issues don’t detract too much from a fairly strong RPG/farming hybrid.

    Stardust Galaxy Warriors is a 4 player mech style local arcade shoot ‘em up with RPG elements.

    A tactical military game in large spaces with the mentality of small ones. Not a bad game, but definitely not one of the better ones within this genre.

    Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth promises a lot with it's homage to the N64 era of action-adventure games, unfortunately it falls short of the prestige associated with that era. What we're left with is a clunky game that glitches quite regularly, there's still potential in the future, but the game needs a lot of issues fixing.

    With great atmosphere, and a great translation of its simple mechanics into a desperate frenzy by the player, the late game becomes too nit-picky, allowing little space for improvisation, and turning out a bit boring.

    I really enjoyed what the game had to show me in the end, and I’d highly recommend it if you can get past the slightly odd writing style and enjoy the medium. There is a lot of content for what you pay, and it’s worth it as a stand-alone episode.

    Risk Of Rain finally gets the console release it deserves, a solid port with improved multiplayer capabilities only improves upon the fun had with the PC version. Must have for those looking for a great couch co-op experience.

    An infinite runner game with a slightly different take on the genre and unlike most, a storyline. Not a mould breaker, but this budget title is different enough to make it worth checking out.

    At once gorgeous, accessible, true to the lore and entirely engrossing, there hasn’t been as emphatic a tribute to the universe of Warhammer 40,000 since Dawn of War. Warhammer fans will love it and space RTS bods will enjoy its complexity and depth of tactics. Battlefleet Gothic is a game the God-Emperor Himself would be proud of.

    If you like old fashioned platformers that are tough as nails but addictive, then you’ll love this. It’s a 16-bit platformer with modern day polish. A tremendous first effort from a small development team, this game deserves to be a big hit.

    A different take on the choose-your-own-adventure genre, Stories is fantastic breath of fresh air. Though environments will soon become repetitive alongside the general gameplay, there’s no reason why this can’t become a series of it’s own.

    I went into Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel Review quite skeptical at first, but what met me was a solid fighting game. The story is a big naff, but it looks great and plays well. That's all you need from a fighting game right?

    Deathsmiles is a arcade shoot 'em up videogame with a Anime touch to it. Choose your path and friends in this adventure to save the world.

    Trackmania Turbo is a gem of a title that incorporates tight and responsive gameplay with longevity and replayability. You can spend a long time trying to attain all the gold medals, but it will be worth it.

    With a lot of clever puzzles and a quirky, cartoon style. 101 Ways to Die is a great puzzle game that will keep you entertained for quite a while. As long as you can get it working that is.

    Ant Workshop have created a tightly focussed title with a clear ethos and a truly original game mechanic. The difficulty may be off putting for some, but it’s intrinsic to the game.

    The Secret Order 3: Ancient Times is a pleasant journey that will briefly entertain. At a budget price, it’s an ideal alternative to all the huge mainstream releases this month. Despite being the third in the series, it’s really quite a standalone story, and works as a great introduction to the genre.

    Crudelis has a great world and a host of really interesting short stories that I will never get to the bottom of because I’m too impatient to watch through the same dialogue and clunky controls in an attempt to get the right endings. If I ever have thirty minutes I’ll probably boot it up and give it a whirl, just because it is such an interesting world to be in, but I don’t think I’ll actively try to beat the game.

    Ultimately, this is a game which will not be for everyone. That high level of complexity will be a barrier to a lot of players. But if you have the patience and desire to spend a lot of time picking through the intricacies of the game, then it’s a very rewarding experience and one which I heartily recommend.

    A bunch of new items and weapons, with a new companion and a huge amount of exploring to be done, there’s little reason Automatron shouldn’t be on your radar.

    Dark Souls III is everything I could have wished for as a fan, and a marvelous conclusion to one of the greatest modern trilogies.
