Ridge Racer Unbounded is a good racing experience, being fast-paced, slick-looking and explosive. At the same time we have learned to expect «bigger and better» from each new racing title over the years, and it's here Unbounded fails dramatically, only rehashing ideas from older, and ultimately better racing games.

Quotation forthcoming.

The developers have done an admirable job at retelling this classic story. The twists to the Dynasty Warriors formula ensure the game is fun to play, although it could do with some more variation.

The Whispered World is an incredibly charming adventure game, with lots of quality humour, interesting characters and a story that's more exciting than it seems at first. A worthy buy, despite some weak and illogical puzzles.

Twilight Princess is probably the safest, most formulaic of the series, yet it still manages to be a pretty compelling and fun adventure all on its own.

Knack 2 is kind of more of the same, but at the same time it's so much more than what the original ever was. The combat is more diverse, the environments are more varied and the co-op is way more fun. There's still some jank here, including the dull story and lack of true freedom in both skill set and movement.

While it will certainly satisfy fans of the series, Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate certainly isn't for everyone. The cycle of gathering resources and completing quests can become a little stale and monotonous. Thankfully, a robust multiplayer mode makes the overall experience more rewarding and fun to play.

Mimimi Games works wonders to make supernatural abilities a balanced, visually striking, and unexpectedly cool part of this real-time tactics game. Sadly, Shadow Gambit loses its way as you’re forced to revisit the same handful of islands again and again in service of a story that lacks cohesion.

A surprisingly accomplished fighting game whose roster is varied enough to warrant the lack of unlockables. The overall experience is hampered by a generic presentation and too few game modes.

If you have a gang of friends to play with regularily, Brink is fantastic. Proper communication makes solving the different tasks a wonder, and at times, this is one of the best games I have played in the genre. However, you never truly know what you get with Brink, due to the rubbish bots and uncertain online team composition. As a game it is simply too unpredictable.

Costume Quest 2 is both fun and charming, with clever puzzles and a cute story. However, its RPG elements are somewhat lacking, and the original game’s magic feel is not entirely here.

The 2013 version is the best the Pro Cycling Manager-series has delivered in years. It still has a lot of room for improvement, but it offers a great cycling simulation and will please fans throug the season. Just stay away from the multiplayer.

Red Steel 2 is a drastic improvement over the first game. The controls are tight, and they rarely cause any problems. At times the game still doesn't quite catch what you're doing, but this is the exception rather than the rule.

FIFA 18 might be the best FIFA ever made, but you can hardly tell, as changes and improvements are becoming increasingly harder to spot. The result is yet another FIFA that is solid, well made and sort of boring.

Star Overdrive is like surfing through the forgotten corners of Hyrule with a keytar in hand – part Zelda, part Journey, part Tony Hawk, and all wrapped in a dreamy, synth-soaked world that’s equal parts thrilling and tranquil.

Technically speaking, Killzone 3 is one of the best shooters regardless console with partly success on implementing both Move and 3D. On the other hand it lacks an X-factor, a good level-design, and struggles to stand out in the genre gameplay-wise.

Fires of Rubicon is big, bombastic fun, with a core gameplay loop that's a blast to play most of the time. The game does however falter in quite a few places, including its bland story, lacking visual variety, and an ever-present feeling of frustration when banging your head against some of the more bullet hell-like encounters.

Spec Ops: The Line is a game that tries to be different, and succeeds somewhat at doing this. It's enticing story and great design only goes so far though, and gameplay-wise the game is hampered by clunky controls, thus feeling very much like your average third-person shooter.

Being able to finally take the Super Smash Bros. games on the road is a welcome addition to the fighting game/party game hybrid series, and generally everything works well. Unfortunately, playing online is uneven at best, and the small screen can make things difficult to see, but the overall experience is still damned fun from start to finish.

Mickey is back to save The Wasteland and this time he's accompanied with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. The game is filled with nostalgia, Disney magic, great voice acting and song, but is also colored by it's slow pace, tricky camera and level confusion. Still, The Power of 2 is a solid platformer, even with its frustrations.

Dead Rising 3 is a lot of fun. It’s also a lot of zombies, a lot of cheesy story, a lot of uninspired graphics and a lot of crazy weapons and costumes.

World to the West is a good game with some lesser moments. It is great when it manages to produce the feeling of an epic adventure, but unfortunately it doesn’t always hit that mark.

Football Manager 2018 is still an engaging manager experience, but focus on realism over fun combined with a lack of innovation leave the game less interesting over time.

The Jamboree mechanics and pro rules are both great new additions, and the series is probably at its most charming ever. There is, however, a distinct lack of outstanding minigames, with a lot of creativity being withheld for the passable online modes.

Warlords of New York gives players another excuse do dive back into The Division 2's outstanding combat, preferably with a friend or three. However, the quality of the campaign is slightly marred by some odd design choices, and the new progression system won't be enough to keep players hanging around.

Even though Assassin's Creed Origins: Curse of the Pharaos does little in terms of new mechanics or strong characters, it impresses with its new environments. The different Afterlife worlds are gorgeous, and the new boss fights are difficult and exciting.

An enjoyable season finale for Sam and Max, though it feels a bit too random and isn't quite up there with the rest of the season.
