The second part of the Chronicles spin off saga retains the mediocrity of the previous chapter, albeit without the visual flairs that we saw in our trip to China. The chapter of India is unspectacular in both its combat and its visuals, and in the end it could be described especially succinctly as bland.

One of the most well designed RPG’s of all time. Meaningful choices, authentic combat system, unique role playing experience, field for many distinctive playthroughs. See beyond its choppy graphics and enjoy this refined hidden role playing gem. Excellent.

It’s been a long time since we last saw a truly unique game from the indie scene. Pony Island fills this gap with an utterly engrossing game. Our trip into the hellish “innards” of an arcade cabinet is smartly designed.

Amplitude is a fun rhythm game that manages to successfully create the feeling of actively participating in the mixing of the songs. On the other hand, the heavy electronic sounds are not for everyone and the small amount of songs hurts its overall longevity.

If this game was released two decades ago it may have hit a soft spot in the hearts of gamers raised in arcades. However, it was released in an era where it makes it look outdated with all of its features being completely obsolete.

Although Mushroom 11 may seem as another generic addition to the oversaturated indie platform genre, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Untame’s effort succeeds in distancing itself from the competition thanks to a completely unique gameplay accompanied by cleverly designed environmental puzzles.

It would seem unthinkable but it’s true that the Old Hunters is even more challenging than the main game. Bosses and mobs are here to make our life much harder, but also to make us beg for even more! From Software delivers another unique experience depicted through a beautifully somber environment of which Lovecraft would be proud.

Fat Princess continues to offer fun and laughs to the players, but its severance from the original game comes with a general lack of depth.

Already one of the greatest RPG games of all time, the new enhanced edition of Divinity: Original Sin improves the game on so many levels that it touches a level of almost absolute perfection.

Rainbow Six: Siege may give the impression of being a work in progress still but it nevertheless delivers a tense tactical experience for those of you who will manage to play it with friends willing to participate in solid teamwork.

Football Manager 16, although not terribly innovative, is improved in almost every aspect compared to its predecessor. Better UI, friendlier tactics menu, more realistic 3D engine and transfer negotiations are among the most important improvements. Moreover, the adaptive AI offers a new level of challenge while also the “create a new club” and “fantasy draft” bring in some fresh air, albeit the lack of solid new gameplay ideas is apparent.

Neocore Games is offering a truly enticing game with the Final Cut edition, rich in content that fans of the hack ‘n’ slash RPG genre should not miss out on.

With the new film of the space opera saga finally on the big screen and the release of Battlefront's new sequel, both after a decade overdue, it is definitely the best time to be a Star Wars fan. The game itself is a dream-come-true for fans, and the Star Wars spectacle is strong in this one. However, if it is depth and longevity you seek... this is not the game you are looking for.

The Ice Dragon delivers a very engaging ultimate episode packed with tense and dramatic moments, where our choices have a significant impact on the way events unfold. Overall, it’s unquestionably a fitting ending to another successful episodic series from Telltale.

Staying true to its genre Elite Dangerous provides a great sense of freedom in a universe where the player’s choices dictate his progression in the game. It may take some time to get accustomed to the controls and the general functions of the game but once you get the hang of it you’ll experience something unique. It is unfortunate that the experience is held back by an extremely poor tutorial and constant disconnects.

This is a game that delivers all the personality and fame-centered features of the wrestling world in detail; however in the process it compromises, rather ironically, a more realistic feeling of combat as in the actual sport. WWE 2K16 is a game that is better to watch than play, although it will probably satisfy hardcore fans.

Need for Speed is a well-wrought game, full of interesting features, albeit without many fresh ideas. However, it is prone to deliver most of the gamers in the uncomfortable arms of boredom sooner than later, although it is bound to satisfy the hardcore fans.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a great game that offers a satisfying combat system and a beautiful world to explore. That said, its story and characters don’t reach the high standards set by the previous title.

Unfortunately Eiyuu Senki: The World Conquest fails to deliver the Visual Novel RPG/Strategy concept the way we anticipated. Ultimately it adheres mostly to the "harem" genre rather than the story-driven visual novel style which we are used to.

Dragon’s Dogma: Arisen is an exceptional port from consoles, which takes advantage of more powerful hardware to offer the most beautiful and complete version of the game. Fans of action-RPGs should definitely give it a try.

The Talos Principle is one of those rare masterpieces of indie writing that play with your mind and your beliefs to such extent that you are no longer the same after you finish it.

Spectacular character design and script create one of the most interesting side quests in the Witcher universe and make it easy to overcome some mistakes in its design.

Finally, Blizzard delivers a story that reminds us of the good old times, full of intrigue, pain and intergalactic conflict, wrapped up in Starcraft’s greatest gameplay iteration to date.

It’s what we define as a guilty pleasure but a rather pernicious one. It is extremely simplistic with a rudimentary crafting and looting system, which on the same time is complex enough to hook you in for some hours without even noticing.

Unfortunately Just Cause 3 turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of this year. It’s marred by erratic frame rate, excruciatingly long loading times accompanied by extremely basic mission design, and an island that seems like it was enlarged tenfold by just copying and pasting the same environmental assets over and over again.

Though not without shortcomings Hard West is nevertheless an especially interesting alternate take of the Wild West. It’s a game that takes many risks, especially in terms of storytelling, and manages to succeed more times than not.

Fallout 4 leans to the Shooting side of things. It strips down the gameplay from the actual RPG elements and offers a meta-nuclaer shooting gallery which of course keep its charm and gameplay wealth but also feels a little too friendly for the new comers. The Base builder mode is unnecessary, boring and irritating. Unfortunately, overall, there are no steps forward for this Nuclear Holocaust Behemoth of the video games industry. Only steps sideways.

There's nothing really new to see here apart from a rather uninteresting DLC. So if you own it on your PS3 you don't have to by the PS4 version. On the other hand, Beyond is a great example of "cinematic gaming" that will offer newcomers a great experience.
