Divinity: Original Sin is a massively complex PC title skilfully repurposed for console gamepads. It's deep, compelling, and fun, but not for the casual crowd.

More Fibbage, more Quiplash. Do you need anything else?

Had this been bundled with a remastered version of Darksiders, the package would be perfect. As it stands, it's just a slightly better version of an already brilliant game.

WRC 5 really is the most fun I’ve had with a racer this year, giving you a phenomenal handling model, sticking you on a course and largely leaving you to attack it. What more could you want?

A decent concept and interesting loot system can't save this indie action title from mediocrity.

Ubisoft has tinkered around behind the hood and gotten this series back on the right track. Long may it continue, as Syndicate is the best Assassin's Creed game in a long, long time.

An interesting use of gaming as a medium to deliver a comic book style of narrative.

Although not revolutionary, After Dark still brings some great new features to the table.

Even with the focus on multiplayer, this is an adventure that is just as enjoyable for lone heroes, especially for those who fancy a challenge.

The finale the game deserved, cementing Life is Strange as one of the best games, and biggest surprises, of 2015.

Hearts of Stone is the perfect example of DLC done right. There’s not a better reason to get back into The Witcher 3 again.

A truly fresh, innovative take on a genre crying out for something new. Freestylegames has utterly succeeded in making Guitar Hero relevant again.

Quite frankly, Telltale has knocked it out of the park, and if there’s ever to be a Borderlands 3 from Gearbox, it’d be an utter travesty to not see Telltale’s characters appear somehow in that game – that’s how fantastic this is.

A compelling thriller that makes great use of the GamePad, but fails to truly scare or shock.

Tales of Zestiria is a great game that gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling in the pit of your stomach. The story is gripping, the characters are surprisingly fleshed out and the open world feels alive. Some of the dialogue is great and gave me plenty of laughs, whether it was due to genuinely good writing or some sentiments that get lost in the translation – it doesn’t really matter.

Dragon Quest Heroes is like watching TV shows on Dave. It’s great at the time, but repeats itself all too often.

More a service to existing fans than a new game in the series, Heroes VII is a huge game that entertains but fails to overwhelm.

Although it is weighed down by some questionable development choices, Prison Architect is a break-out success due to its sandbox alone.

A faux-retro shooter with an irreverent sense of humour, Bedlam is hard to recommend as anything other than a curio, despite its popular source material.

A roguelike survival game that sadly squanders its potential with a general lack of variety.

A huge, sprawling adventure with countless branches and decisions, Wasteland 2 is unique in the console catalogue and more than worth the asking price.

The Legend of Legacy is a unique JRPG with one of the best soundtracks in gaming is let down by its minimal story, repetition and some major performance issues.

It's neither revolution, nor true evolution, but when the planets align, with a few like-minded friends who've had a few drinks, there's nothing that can touch it, and you'll have tremendous fun.

Transformers Devastation is a fantastic love letter to G1 Transformers fans, and a great game in its own right.

Elite: Dangerous is a well-made space sim with incredible scope and wondrous plans for the future, but it might put off some players with its complexity.

Ten years on, even with the aesthetically wonderful amiibo that can be purchased with this game, it's hard to see how the titular Chibi is suddenly going to become a wildly popular player in the Nintendo universe based upon his exploits here.

Skylanders may be facing tougher competition this year, but with Superchargers it’s stepped up its game to match.

The Talos Principle surprised me in almost every way, and it's one of the best puzzle games in recent years.
