    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a very well crafted adventure that will keep you hooked for hours on end.

    Endless Legends tries to overcomes flaws by focusing on strengths. Unique factions, in-depth customization and beautiful art will keep you hooked and wanting more. It isn’t perfect, but it is still a solid strategy game.

    The Sims 4 is a fantastic game at its core, but with its tiny neighborhoods and many features simply missing, it holds itself back from Sims greatness.

    Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes 2.0 feels like a failed attempt at rushing a game out to cash in on a trending genre, that ultimately suffers from too little development time and polish.

    Without a strong multiplayer community behind it though, I would say skip the PS4 release and head straight for PC if you have the means.

    Few games can come close to creating the same mayhem and excitement as Gauntlet can.

    Phenomenal. Let any doubts about a handheld version of this game be put to rest- Super Smash Bros. 3DS pulls no punches and stands proud with its console predecessors.

    FIFA 15 is a very good game. The only real issue is that it all seems very safe, when risks are needed to keep annual franchises alive.

    Spacecom is a super-fun strategy game, and a truly unpretentious take on the RTS genre.

    Like opening the hood on a Ferrari, Forza Horizon 2 is filled from fender to fender with absolute awesome.

    Fairy Fencer F is more than adequate filler, and shows some promising ideas for the future of NIS America’s releases.

    While CounterSpy on consoles is a delight, the iOS version is a near unplayable mess that should be avoided at all costs.

    While Archeage doesn’t bring much to the table in terms of story, quest mechanics or even combat, the sheer depth of the PVP and tradeskill system promises to make it into the EVE-Online of the fantasy genre.

    The scariest thing about this title is the horror of facing another “find the key puzzle.” Oculus support and solid voice acting doesn’t save Doorways from bad puzzles, poor monster design and ineffective scares.

    I don’t know how a hybrid of the two styles would look, but it feels like a missed opportunity to create an entirely new experience using the best of each game.

    It’s certainly not perfect, but Hyrule Warriors’ combat and treatment of the typically sterile Zelda franchise is just big, dumb, loud fun.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As it stands now, it feels like a strong foundation coupled with a thin story and some baffling missteps on the MMO aspects of the formula.

    This year, the changes to the defense and boost in presentation slide it away from “minimal” and feel much more substantial. But unfortunately, I find the player aspect of Connected Franchise to be one of the biggest parts of the whole Madden experience, and it being a husk of its former self is more than a little disappointing.

    I was excited to try out Sacred 3 at first, since I had heard good things about the previous games. The more I played it, the more the cracks showed, and the more disappointment set in.

    Dead Rising 3 is truly a game that is its best when it isn’t trying, it is unapologetic and bloody, and one of the best zombie hack and slash games that has ever been released.

    Firefall is a massively-mixed bag.

    Unfortunately, it really is just more of the same but with an impressive visual bump.

    Infamous: First Light takes an interesting, flawed character and does nothing with her. Even at $15, it’s a vapid, empty, wasted opportunity. At least the combat is still fun, though.

    Natural Doctrine is a broken attempt at revitalizing the tactical RPG genre. At first glance, it appears to have all the markings of a classically inspired and intelligently designed strategy game.

    Come for the new and improved features, stay for the far better soundtrack.

    Tales of Xillia 2 ‘s greatest strengths are also its greatest weaknesses. Continuing the saga where it left off will be a joy for fans of the original who couldn’t get enough of its intricate world and colorful characters, but Bandai Namco’s choice to revisit a previous game may not satisfy those who are in search of new experiences in the Tales of series.

    Lichdom: Battlemage is a clever and exciting arcade style action-RPG, which can be a lot more fun than one might expect.

    Metro Redux combines two of the most uniquely harrowing first-person shooters onto one disc, and applies a whole mess of graphical and gameplay improvements that hit far more than they miss.

    All in all WildStar is a fantastic and strong entry in the MMO market.

    Throughout CounterSpy’s lifespan, you will die a whole lot, and with that comes frustration. But on the other end of that frustration is an immense feeling of satisfaction as you get one step closer to saving our precious little moon.
