Styx: Master of Shadows is a fun and challenging game that gives you great freedom to explore its vast levels. Some problems with the controls persist, but they won't ruin an overall worthwhile experience.

The Definitive Edition of Sleeping Dogs is first and foremost for new gamers who haven't played the fun original. The extra missions are decent, but more of the same and the graphical improvements, while fine, aren't stunning.

A tense and unnerving experience that wonderfully captures the style and atmosphere of the original film. Alien: Isolation, in spite of its faults, is a welcome and accomplished take on a great franchise long deserving of a grate game.

It's big and often beautiful, and addictive as well. But it does lack the little extra that would keep me playing for weeks.

With the Nemesis system, Monolith Productions has created a living, breathing power struggle in an otherwise disappointingly empty world. It alone makes the game worth playing.

DriveClub is an authentic racing game, with engaging social aspects and beautiful graphics. It, however, severely lacks personality and might become stale after a while.

Shadow Puppeteer has the potential to be a really good game, if the developers at Sarepta Studio can get rid of the teething problems that are disruptive of the experience at the moment. The game features clever puzzles and difficult boss battles, and is worth a try when more of the bugs are removed.

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.

The Vanishing is a supernatural murder mystery with a dark and sombre, if not entirely original, story beneath its hood. Although gameplay is a tad repetitive, it is wonderfully evident that the game has been crafted with elaborate care and conscience. But more than anything, The Vanishing is a strikingly beautiful stroll through a hauntingly gorgeous valley.

A gorgeous, smart and addictive game that is somewhat let down by weak AI. If Amplitude sticks with it post release, it could easily become the new king of the genre.

As gamers we are taught that games should fit different formulas, game characters should be certain types, and stories should be told in certain ways. D4 refuses to accept the established methods and creates it's own rules like a drunk man on a focused mission. Sometimes it's good to let go of all inhibitions and join the drunk guy in his binge.

Helping the little girl through her nightmarish tableaus is engaging if you are able to get invested in the absurdist universe. I was definitely able to do that during Murasaki Baby's couple of hours.

Defense Grid 2 takes everything we know from the first game, adds clever new ways to both build upon, and improves your strategies. On top of this we find a sometimes hilarious story told by a bunch of misfit AI's.

Wasteland 2 brings back the magic and mystery of the isometric CRPG-genre. In spite of a few bugs, the game delivers a rich and compelling world to explore, solid combat mechanics, and great entertainment from start to finish.

Forza Horizon 2 is a great racing game, and with its sprawling open world, a huge variety of cars and a clever mix of arcade and simulation, it might be one of the best in quite some time.

There's no reason why a Dynasty Warriors game wearing a Legend of Zelda costume can't work, and at first Hyrule Warriors is surprisingly entertaining. Unfortunately the game runs out of steam after only a couple of hours. There's no depth to the combat system and slaying countless monsters becomes fairly monotonous.

A solid and addictive foundation, but for now the game feels a bit too unfinished – a bit like a promising "early access" title.

Tales of Xillia 2 feels like not much more than a repeat of the previous game. You'll spend most of your time walking through familiar environments you already explored thoroughly in the previous game.

A decent multiplayer doesn't make up for all that grudgingly repetitive gameplay and a bloated, clichéd story. The world of Destiny is a shallow and uninspired place that fails to capture the imagination, let alone the will to play on after mowing down the millionth wave of dead-eyed space robots.

Super Time Force is charming as all hell, as well as incredibly funny. The shooting is not as precise as you’d want, but the concept is nice, and who can actually say no to a trip through time and space?

Velocity 2X might look and feel a bit simple, but beneath that lies a rather entertaining hybrid of a shoot-em-up and a 2D platformer. It works best in small doses rather than long play sessions, but manages to score a lot of points on charm, aesthetic and tight game design.

A step backwards for the series. There are some major improvements here, but they don't make up for what has been lost.

If you're desperate for more inFamous content and can play Second Son with your eyes closed then First Light might be worth your time and money. The story being told, while familiar and unremarkable, is well told and playing around with Fetch's powers can be fun at times. Unfortunately, it's still a downscaled, smaller version of what we all did in the first game.

CounterSpy is stealthy, charming and clever, not only in its graphical style, but also in the way it handles the somewhat clichéd cold war spy drama gig.

Mousecraft is the lovechild of Tetris and Lemmings, although it's nowhere near as addicting. It's a creative idea, with fun mechanics, and well worth a try, but the difficulty goes up and down too rapidly, because the game introduces new mechanics a bit too often.

Curse of Naxxramas is a fun expansion, that besides giving the player a bunch of bosses to test their skills against, also delivers 30 new and (mostly) interesting cards to play with.

Divinity: Original Sin delivers an old school RPG experience in a fresh and attractive package. The world is open and massive, and a fabulous soundtrack sets the mood perfectly. This game does not hold your hand, but let's you think, fail or succeed by your own merits. Exactly what we wanted.

Humoristic, self-aware and very polished MMO from Carbine. Fast-paced combat feels great, and the content gets harder and harder as the game goes along. End-game content can be a bit too hard to get access to, and the grind a bit too long.
