    Shadow Blade: Reload is a straightforward and satisfying platformer. It doesn't live up to its lofty stealth claims and the clichéd story doesn't do much beyond add some context for the action. But once you get a feel for how it plays and settle into the solid platforming mechanics, there’s a lot of fun to be had here.

    Kyn
    If you have some time to kill and are lookigng for some good old fashioned hack & slash action, you could do worse than Kyn. Otherwise, your time might be better spent with a more fulfilling game.

    The Dream experience is certainly a positive one, and definitely succeeds in recreating the surreal and intriguing nature of actual dreams.

    Both paid DLC packs and free updates are planned to bring about new cars and cosmetic changes, and if developer support continues, Rocket League could turn into something truly special. Even as it is though, it quickly became one of my favourite games of the year, in a year where we’ve already had a huge number of great titles.

    I really enjoyed the character specialization and tactical gameplay, but during most of Deadline I couldn’t help but feel that it just didn’t make much sense as a zombie game, and would be better if I was fighting other soldiers (there are humans you fight, but not comparatively often).

    Other than occasional bouts of frustration brought on by poor camera angles, there’s not much wrong with Legend of Kay Anniversary. That said, in 2015, we’ve seen it all before.

    That said, Victor Vran does use all of its parts very well. It has a strong atmosphere, familiar controls, and some interesting moments. It might not be a standout, but it's definitely a solid game.

    No matter how fun a game is, or how hard the developers worked on it, I can’t recommend someone buy a title that doesn’t work.

    So AR-K: The Great Escape is an interesting one. Despite its lackluster opening and questionable delivery, it manages to grow on you.

    Guild of Dungeoneering is easy to get into and understand thanks to its simplicity, but it is that simplicity which ultimately prevents it from being something great.

    Different circumstances have made the overall product a story of what could have been, a rose-tinted glasses breaking reality.

    Between the ugly presentation and the poor gameplay, there just isn’t anything here to make it worth a recommendation, even for fighting game and kung fu movie aficionados.

    It's not a bad game, but imagine the possibilities if we can play with the other races, if the AI would do more than standing around, and if ranged units were more than fluff. You'd have a game that can measure itself with the best 4X games on the market! Until it does, it's the little engine that could, but did not.

    Spectra is hugely disappointing as a music based racing game. There are plenty of games that try to use music to create gameplay, that have soundtracks nowhere near as strong as Spectra’s but they do it better.

    There’s a nice rhythm to hitting the shield at the perfect moment, nailing a fire bolt or slicing through rows of bad guys to boost your multiplier. Unfortunately, a good runner needs legs, and ROGUS’ simplicity means things wear thin quickly.

    The story itself feels very much like filler content, but the missions in the single player and survival do have their hooks in me.

    Divide by Sheep is a fantastically addictive example of modern puzzle gaming.

    It's a fun strategy game that can be played for a few hours at a time.

    If you want to play alone, I'd suggest passing on The Jackbox Party Pack, but if you want to have some fun with friends and don't have similar-style board games lying around, The Jackbox Party Pack may be just for you.

    All in all though, The Enchanted Cave 2 does what it says on the tin, and it does it well. It doesn't waste your time with elaborate filler, it gets straight to the point and keeps enticing you on until you forget how much time you’ve spent stuck in the caves.

    Ronin has quite a minimalist style, which is fine, but again, some variety between levels would have been nice.

    Dirty Bomb is an addictive game. Even though I was often handed my ass on a platter by gamers with more skill, I was still enjoying myself for much of the time.

    The Masterplan succeeds in making everything from the triumphant heists, close scrapes and complete wash-outs, interesting – you’ll just have to work for them.

    Alone In The Dark: Illumination comes across as trying to be a Left 4 Dead 2 and Resident Evil 6 hybrid while doing absolutely nothing right, and favoring to do everything wrong.

    The Last Dogma is rife with spelling and grammatical errors, you get caught on bits of scenery, the AI is terrible, and worst of all, it’s just not that fun to play.

    If you love horror games, Kholat is one game that will give you a delectably terrifying experience.

    Dungeon Crawlers HD is riddled with bugs, cursed with a lame narrative, and let down by lackluster combat. If you play long enough to get past the boredom, you'll only find frustration.

    It’s gorgeous in places, rough around the edges in others, and if you dig deep, then you’ll find something meaningful. In a few short hours it’ll be over, and you may have found yourself feeling like you’ve put in a lot of effort for not much reward.

    Though it may not hold your attention for long, whenever it does hold it you'll be enjoying yourself.

    Sunset isn’t like many games you have played before. While it has some pacing issues at times, the game’s portrayal of its themes and narrative are intimately personal and, wholistically, deeply effective.
