    Five Card Quest is one of the slowest games we have played this year, but that does not mean it is boring. You have to think about every detail and that makes fights exciting.

    Fallout 4 stays at the same level as its predecessor, but the open world gameplay has expanded quite a bit and is highly entertaining. The option to rebuild the Wasteland from scratch is great for both players and future modders.

    Skylanders: SuperChargers is a bit cheaper, and that is noticeable in the slightly boring and matte design of the Skylanders, which thankfully does no longer matter as soon as you step into your car to have a fun online race.

    The storytelling is not great in Rise of the Tomb Raider, but it does offer a lot more content, more tombs and varied fighting scenes in a very nice setting.

    The dungeons and the stories might feel a bit bland, the fighting system in Tales of Zestiria is powerful. This is more of a good action title than a good RPG, and it will take a lot of willpower to struggle your way through those dungeons to get to the sweet spot of the game.

    Anno 2205 is the city-builder that the community was waiting for. 2205 is transparent and easy to learn for beginners, but it still has the soul of the Anno franchise, full of complexity, duration and that gorgeous atmosphere.

    The nine hour long story of Black Ops 3 is so bizarre, it took us a while to get our heads around it. But the fact that a CoD-game surprised us in 2015 is very positive. The gameplay however, is still solid as a rock.

    Racing feels amazing and organic, with just a small amount of depth which could have been a bit more refined. We could have done without the storylines told by actors that try too hard to be young and modern.

    As the official game for the rally world championships, WRC 5 offers a real experience thanks to smooth driving and a good setup of the game. It is a let-down that the game sells short when it comes to the technical bits.

    Guitar Hero Live does not reinvent the guitar, but it does bring enough fresh elements to make even the classics feel brand new. The FMV-gigs are both cliche and entertaining, and Guitar Hero TV shows that that Guitar Hero is still relevant in 2015.

    This will cost you more than your average game, but you might want to consider it anyway, as it is so much fun combining franchises in a world filled with LEGO bricks. The balance between videogame and physical figurines is done quite impressively.

    The ending of Tales from the Borderlands is worth it. All key characters get the closure they need, and even though there are still some flaws in the game that we have been mentioning at every episode now, the finale is amazing.

    We were promised classic '90s 2D beat-'em-up-gameplay with the newest developments, but instead we get a very mediocre game that we probably wouldn't even have enjoyed twenty years ago.

    Human Resource Machine is a challenging and cutesy puzzle game about humans and programming humans. And the good thing is, you do not have to be into programming to enjoy this game to the fullest.

    Downwell is a game you keep on playing. The flashy gameplay, perfectly balanced rogue-lite elements and constant rewards make this game an instant classic. The game is surprisingly deep and the only thing that gets in the way of it being brilliant, are the limited controls smartphones and tablets offer.

    Tri Force Heroes offers some fun new features, but gameplay-wise it is simply not dynamic and refined enough. This game definitely does not feel like a full-on Zelda game, but more a fun spin-off.

    ​343 Industries is not Bungie and that shows in Halo 5: Guardians. It is a unique Halo game that offers the series a new future. The single player has the feel of a triple A science fiction epic, while the addictive multiplayer often makes us reminisce about Halo 2 in those good old days.

    At first it seems war ships are a lot less flashy than tanks or airplanes. At sea it is all about tactical navigation, forward thinking and the ability to see the bigger picture. It is amazing how World of Warships has all these elements, without having to slow down.

    ​The dismal atmosphere, the interesting story and the original use of the Wii U Gamepad make Project Zero: Maiden of Blackwater a unique horror experience. Some parts of the game are a bit old-school, some things are a tad too repetitive, but the horror and the dreary atmosphere make up for that. It is not nice, but it is definitely haunting.

    Transformers Devastation is a good game that shows respect and love for the original Transformers. Developer Platinum Games has found the right look and feel, but it does forget to add variety to this game. The gameplay mechanics could have been more thought through as well.

    The Walking Dead version of The Escapists feels more like a skin than a completely new game. And it is a skin that does not even make sense in this setting.

    Even though Syndicate does not struggle with the same issues as Unity, there are a few annoying elements to it. That is frustrating, but they do not 'break' the game. The characters are interesting and the location where this adventure happens is gory and gorgeous at the same time. Syndicate is definitely worth playing.

    This special game succeeds in having players look at games in a different light. Even though this game will only speak to a small audience, this is a unique project that will probably be just as often discussed as The Stanley Parable.

    Soma combines elements of BioShock, Telltale's The Walking Dead and our worst nightmares into one phenomenal horror experience. Technically speaking, the game is not great, and the horror can sometimes be predictable. But if you can live with that, you will be stuck to your screen for at least ten hours.

    If you have a difficult time saying goodbye to Geralt, Hearts of Stone is the perfect add-on. The story is pretty exciting and the extra items and surroundings blend in well. The monsters offer an extra challenge, but the bosses are often a bit too difficult.

    Strangely it is a true pleasure to see FC Barcelona-esque combinations on your iPhone. There is no better soccer game available on the mobile devices, but EA Sports does make Ultimate Team a messy game that does not motivate you to build that star team.

    Battle of the Bulge is a fun and interesting game. The strategy expert will enjoy this more than the random gamer who wants to dabble, but the military chess pieces will definitely entertain anybody.

    Rising Tide makes Civilization:BE better in almost every possible way. Besides an alien sea to colonize, this add-on develops the diplomatic system and Affinities into something new.

    Armikrog is a game you really want to love. The atmosphere and the claymation cutscenes are amazing, which makes it even more pitiful that the game itself is not interesting at all and quite technically annoying.
