    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
    Despite the flaws and interruptions of the story and presentation, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a superior title.

    The Banner Saga
    Beautiful, well written, but aggravating. That’s The Banner Saga in a nutshell.

    Zombie Tycoon 2: Brainhov's Revenge
    Zombie Tycoon II has a neat premise. Who doesn't want to control a rampaging horde of the undead? It's a shame then, that it doesn't really do anything worthwhile with the concept.

    The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 1 - All That Remains
    It was perhaps too much to ask of Telltale that they blow our minds in the very first episode, but I still feel a little let-down with how “setty-uppy” All That Remains felt, with a mostly predictable storyline and few really significant or interesting choices to make.

    Tank Operations: European Campaign
    As such, Tank Operations cannot be recommended over other modern strategy titles of varying scales, or even retro titles – such as the previously mentioned Panzer General series – which are easily available through the likes of Good Old Games.

    Darkout
    Both Terraria and Minecraft handle the basic mechanics of crafting and resource gathering better, and aside from an intriguing and visually enticing setting, there's nothing here that really makes Darkout stand out.

    Broken Sword 5: The Serpents' Curse - Part I
    These points aside, the first episode of Broken Sword 5 is a lot of fun and a welcome return to form for the series.

    Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior
    The increase in class variety is welcome and each combatant has a certain novelty value, but Deadliest Warrior perhaps doesn't bring enough to the table to fully elevate itself above Medieval Warfare.

    A Walk in the Dark
    For less than a fiver, it’s a bargain, if for nothing else but to experience the bizarre feeling of absolute frustration and absolute relaxation in tandem, courtesy of well-structured, taxing level design and Cody Cook’s beautiful soundtrack.

    Rise of Venice - Beyond the Sea
    Not a particularly amazing release, all things considered, but at least it doesn’t make the game worse.

    Crusader Kings II: Sons of Abraham
    Even though there are a lot of improvements shoved into the patch, which is free, if you’re a CK2 fan then this will add subtle new dimensions to your typical game that you’ll appreciate.

    World of Warplanes
    Those who fully appreciate the fast-paced, arcade action may not be fully appreciative of the attention to detail paid to the planes on show. Likewise, those who fully appreciate the attention to detail, may be disappointed to not be given a deeper flight simulation with which to fly their historical birds.

    X Rebirth
    X: Rebirth will get better over time, and anyone who’s open-minded enough to look past the ‘X’ branding and see the ‘game’, may even find many hours of entertainment.

    Adventure Park
    If you’re into in-depth management of a park then Adventure Park may be for you, but for everyone else the design problems, unattractive menus, misplaced priorities, and numerous other flaws adds up to a tedious experience. Worst of all though, Adventure Park is bland, lifeless and lacking in both character and imagination.

    Battle Worlds: Kronos
    Overall, Battle Worlds: Kronos is a really robust strategy game.

    Redshirt
    Definitely worth a play if you like the idea of a Star Trek/Facebook parody game, but don’t expect any longevity from it.

    Blood Knights
    Unfortunately for Blood Knights, taking established systems and watering them down just leaves you with a diluted mix that tastes nothing like what it's trying to imitate.
    • 66 Metascore

    Final Exam
    As a series of systems then, Final Exam is actually a whole bunch of fun, but it fails to harness those into a coherent whole and inject enough variation to keep things fresh.

    Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition
    If you want to replay Baldur’s Gate II or are an RPG fan who hasn’t played it this is definitely the version to get, but unless you’re desperate to get it now I suggest waiting until a Steam sale.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
    The game looks absolutely beautiful, is jam packed with things to do, and as ever, the combat is a joy to fiddle with.

    Journey of a Roach
    Journey of a Roach attempts some nice ideas and is pretty cute, but altogether isn’t a particular good or enjoyable adventure.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts
    Enjoyable but highly flawed.

    Deadfall Adventures
    Deadfall Adventures certainly has some problems but if you’re an Indiana Jones fan you really should be getting it.

    BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode One
    It successfully combines all the best elements from Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite into a satisfying package, and it should be pointed out that level-wise nothing has been reused from either game (unlike the superb Minerva’s Den, which was great but didn’t have much new).

    Master Reboot
    There's some really good ideas in Master Reboot, maybe Wales Interactive have been a bit too ambitious with the project versus the size of their team, but it never quite fulfils those ideas.

    Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2
    As cynical as it might be to release a quick follow-up to a third-person shooter in one of the most populated thematic genres of the last generation then, Sniper Elite Nazi Zombie Army 2 is nonetheless another diverting exercise in brainless co-op action.

    XCOM: Enemy Within
    Enemy Within makes for an incredible, and fresh, journey as you fight to save the world one more time, and it’s definitely worth picking up eventually. We would totally understand though, if you wanted to wait for a steam sale or something.

    The Typing of the Dead: Overkill
    Enjoyable, inventive, and great delivery by developers Modern Dream, Typing of the Dead is a curio but one that definitely requires a few moments of attention. If you like typing really quick, zombies, and wisecracking: look no further.

    Dream Chamber
    Dream Chamber is full of great ideas that just don't pan out that well. The slightly stilted dialogue in some places doesn't help.
    • 65 Metascore

    Blood of the Werewolf
    It's an old school platformer, in a macabre horror world populated with tricks, traps and freakish foes. The difficulty of the game veers between perfectly pitched and pretty damn frustrating, marring the experience somewhat for those of us lacking the heightened reflexes of a supernatural monstrosity. Despite that, it's a finely crafted package worth experiencing for fans of the genre and those craving a challenge.
