It's a warm and beautiful story about friendship, helping each other, and standing together when things might get a little difficult. The game may not offer deep thoughts for adults, but it is communicated in a very nice and child-friendly way that never forgets that Moomin is not just for the little ones....Furthermore, Moomin: Winter's Warmth is a more advanced game with more things to do, larger areas to explore, and far more exciting areas to explore. The game makes me very excited to see what Hyper Games can come up with in the future.

Though roaming the game's beautiful open worlds is bound to amuse more or less anyone for a few hours, the Xenoblade games will mostly appeal to the kind of JRPG player who enjoys the genre for its challenge and complexity rather than stories. In this light Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is somewhat surpassed by its more ambitious and polished Wii U predecessor.

Shadowlands lays down the foundation for more MMO fun, but the expansion needs to deliver more than this to really wow the fans

Two fantastic tactics games that will provide hours of entertainment for both experienced tacticians and newcomers alike.

Quotation forthcoming.

2010 FIFA World Cup does very little new from the excellent FIFA 10, but it's still a solid soccer game with a natural focus on international teams. Guiding your own nation to the world's biggest tournament actually feels pretty good.

Some of the best combat encounters in the entire game takes place in The Frozen Wilds, making this expansion essential for all who are fond of the core game.

Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise is a bundle of joy that requires a basic sense of rhythm, a good muscle memory and tolerance for its childlike, eastern stile. The entire game coasts on its charm and aesthetics, as the game basically consists of hitting one or two buttons at the right time.

A fantastic kick of adrenaline that mercilessly sends you into close combat with the enemy, and gives you all the tools you need to do it in style.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a huge step in the right direction, delivering on parts of the dream of being a pokémon trainer like never before. It's unfortunately also marred by a bland story, lackluster visuals and tons of small frustrations spread throughout.

It's sad to see that Kirby this time around has lost so much of his former playfulness. The varied arsenal of creative attacks has shrunk down to a pathetic gang fight where the player plays the passive role of a bystander. The game never offers a proper challenge, and even though the visuals and audio are heavily 16-bit-inspired and charming, Kirby Mass Attack never really makes you want to keep playing.

Despite a bit of repetitiveness in the last half, Alan Wake is a spectacular, memorable experience. If you own an Xbox 360, you'll want to own this.

Quotation forthcoming.

Gorgeous visuals, exciting combat, simply stunning in its execution. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined should be the template that all other remakes look to going forward.

The Plucky Squire is thoroughly cosy, with characters, worlds and experiences that ooze charm.

Boasting gorgeous visuals and flawless animation, Dust: An Elysian Tail offers up an interesting take on a hero's journey to discover his true identity. With solid hack'n'slash mechanics to boot this is a great addition to your games library.

With its innovative map system and engaging battle mechanics, Steel Division: Normandy 44 stands out in the crowd despite a lacking single player campaign.

Hearts of Iron IV delivers everything grand strategy is about, and balances armies, navies and air forces with the need for resources and industry. It is a true strategy game that can be played in countless ways, and offers potentially hundreds and thousands of hours of pure enjoyment.

Addictive and surprisingly deep tactical game about kicking doors and killing whomever's on the other side.

An excellent platform game with great mechanics that also offers a heavy story.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is far from perfect, as the combat feels clunky, the voice acting is all over the place and the late game level requirements feels really restricting, but despite all that it's hard not to adore the overall experience. The scope and feel of the world are simply amazing – the depiction of Greece is extremely beautiful – and thanks to the stellar exploration mode and the varied array of activities, it's also way more fun to explore than before.

Donkey Kong is back and looking better than ever. This platformer doesn't hold your hand, and offers brutal challenges along the way. Overcoming the obstacles offers a great feeling of accomplishment, and will leave you wanting more.

While not without its limitations, WarioWare: Do It Yourself provides creative handheld gamers with a wide range of excellent game-creating tools. If you've ever entertained the idea of making your very own microgames, you'll find tons of entertainment in Wario's latest outing.

A great way to experience two of the games that defined real-time strategy in the 90s.

Arrowhead has put together a playful and chaotic shooter experience that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's just a bit too hectic for you to be able to keep track of the matches, but I feel that's part of the point. Sometimes you'll struggle through hordes of bugs until the mission is almost done, only to fail because someone botched a missile attack. It can be frustrating, but mostly that's just part of the charm.

Ys: Memories of Celceta is as traditional as it gets, with plenty of JRPG clichés, but it’s still a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Watch Dogs 2 is an engaging, exciting and challenging game with a clear identity. Everything that did not work in its predecessor is gone.

Dance Central is a lot of fun, and it'll make you appreciate dancing more, but the lack of worthwhile multiplayer is very disappointing.
