A good game, but not the big new release that makes you feel like you’re playing on your next-gen console. There’s a lot of content here though thanks to all the added downloadable content and the new fighting system is worth the mention. For people who have played the original to death, there’s little on offer here to justify a second purchase.

We have waited 35 years, and now finally there is a game that can face Ridley Scott’s classic movie. Alien: Isolation has some moments where it loses the interest of the player, but overall your heartbeat will be racing sky high. This is what an Alien-game should be.

Wasteland 2 is a classic RPG with a terrific script and a brilliant skill system. Players are required to play slowly and with constant attention, which only adds to the tense gameplay. This is the best post-apocalyptic game so far and the RPG Fallout 3 should have been.

Planetary Annihilation has layers upon layers of features that push the RTS-genre to the next level. The problem is: these revolutionary features are so well hidden that half of the players won’t even find them. There are also some crucial parts missing. The game remains playable, but less of a high quality product as we had hoped.

Roundabout makes no sense at all, which is why it is so great. The incredibly cheesy movies in between the gameplay, the spinning car you have to control: it’s all so strange yet so charming. There’s some frustration looking, but the well thought out humour makes you forget about it.

If you want to re-experience the feeling of playing shooters in the ninetees, but with the added benefit of HD-graphics, look no further. Wrack has that fast feeling that was present in classics such as Doom and Quake. The lack of multiplayer is a big disappointment.

Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS often feels as good as previous entries in the series, but it takes time to master the controls on the handheld. Thanks to a lot of content and the possibility of refining your favorite characters, you can play the game endlessly.

Shadow of Mordor combines different parts of other successful games, like Assassin’s Creed and Batman: Arkham City, but the game has a unique selling point: the Nemesis-system, which really makes Mordor come to life. Even though the story is insignificant here, Shadow of Mordor remains a fun and original game.

Curtain Call takes the original Theatrhythm and mixes it with a bag of new tracks, some new modes and a brand new way to control the game. The end result is a light-hearted trip down nostalgia lane for die-hard Final Fantasy-fans.

D4 is a greatly absurd adventure that thrives on its colorful characters and downright bizarre dialogues. When you’ve grown tired of serious adventure games like The Walking Dead and you want some humour in your life, D4 is good company.

Forza Horizon 2 is a sequel by the books: the same concept, but with much more content and a more refined end product. The off-road racing injects the game with some variety, but it also ruins the fun for people who prefer to take the roads, as going off-road is almost always the fastest way to your destination.

Keepers have improved greatly and you can alter your tactics more. This ensures FIFA 15 is a better product than last year’s entry. The presentation falls flat on its face thanks to the look of the players themselves and the shoddy animation. This is still the best football game out there.

Hack ’n Slash offers a way out for anyone who’s ever been stuck in games like The Legend of Zelda. Double Fine puts you in the seat of a hacker, which turns out to be a unique and pleasant take on the genre. Hacking may feel like a gimmick at first, but intelligent and refreshing puzzles quickly kill that sentiment.

Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition doesn’t differ much from the Xbox One version released last year, but it hasn’t lost any of its fun factor since then. A higher frame-rate and slightly better graphics offer some advantages, but the real value is in playing Dead Rising 3 cooperatively.

Endless Legend has taken a good look at its competitors while introducing some ideas of its own. On top of that, those ideas actually work. The game is beautiful and plays very smoothly, but a few serious bugs tend to ruin the fun.

It’s been a long time since Team 17 made anything other than Worms, but Flockers can hardly be called fresh. It’s essentially the same as Lemmings, a 23 year old game, without adding much. The concept still stands, but that’s about it.

Train Fever is one of the best train simulators to date and that is saying something. It doesn’t get everything right and the amount of content can be a bit lacking, but the end product is so well made that it deserves plenty of praise.

Hyrule Warriors provides plenty of entertainment value and enough familiarity for fans of The Legend of Zelda. Bland environments and a lack of depth in terms of gameplay keep it from rising to the level of quality that Zelda usually brings to the table.

Driveclub tries to differentiate itself from the competition with a lot of elements built around racing. Ironically, the racing itself is the high point of the game, next to the occasionally beautiful graphics and lighting effects. Thanks to weird online restrictions, the club system loses a lot of its charm.

The Sims 4 has taken a rigorous approach in redefining the gameplay experience of the series. In some cases this has worked extremely well, in others the complete opposite. The fantastic Build-and-create-a-Sim mode is overshadowed by gameplay and content with just doesn’t live up to the standards set by its predecessor.

No Going Back is a worthy ending to a strong season. In the final episode you’ll leave a few memorable characters behind. Since you’ve made a lot of choices along the way, that’ll be a lot of personal goodbye’s. The narrative is of high quality, the interactive part not so much. Luckily, The Walking Dead continues to impress, even without having to press any buttons.

80 Days depends solely on its story, a travel log that described your personal journey in great detail. Even though its an interactive novel, there is greater consequence to your actions than in any TellTale-game. Every playthrough of 80 Days is different and completely personal, making this a unique experience.

CounterSpy primarily relies on its looks. The use of propaganda in the dialogue, an overly communist style and countless references to spy tactics depict a Cold War atmosphere not unlike in the Bond movies with Sean Connery. The cartoony art style helps to distinguish the game from other similar titles, but its not enough to cover up a lack of complex gameplay.

Hohokum is a spiritual journey without a destination. It starts as an interactive screensaver, but slowly unfolds into a puzzle game. There are no hints, which is refreshing but ends up being feeling a a bit frustrating. It requires backtracking through a world in which navigation is cumbersome. That repetition detracts from the phenomenal design and soundtrack.

Metro Redux is more than just a polished version of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. The terrifying and sinister games have improved on every level, which makes Redux the best way to play both titles.

Destiny seldom blows you away with unexpected narrative gameplay and delivers less content than expected. There’s no point in lingering on those shortcomings though. It’s likely you won’t play a better shooter this year. The action is of such high quality and the cooperative and competitive play is interwoven seamlessly. This is still the game by Bungie we’ve been wanting to play.

Hohokum is a spherical adventure without direction. What sets out as an interactive screensaver turns into a puzzle game without a manual. The lack of instructions feels refreshing at first, but it becomes a little frustrating when backtracking and difficult navigation become more prominent. This repetition distracts you from the phenomenal design and soundtrack.

The Ultimate Evil Edition is wonderful package for newcomers to the series that will bring them much joy. For existing Diablo fans the asking price might be a little high for something that in essence is little more than a expansion pack with nicer looking graphics.
