    Leaving the controversy at the door, Hatred is a solid 90's isometric action game, with 80's horror cheese, and cringe inducing parodying of what is considered edgy.

    It’s a game for the patient, as you’ll be spending a lot of time paused and micromanaging.

    Some of Magnetic: Cage Closed’s themes are interesting, but they are tackled more confidently and effectively both in and out of the medium.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is PC gaming personified.

    All in all, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III is a little too complex for its own good. It’s always nice to have variety, but when you have to trawl through everything and the kitchen sink to find your ideal build, it takes some of the fun out of it.

    Magicka 2 is fun when playing alone and much more fun when playing with friends. A few technical and campaign hitches aside, the game maintains the same kind of charm and humour that the original seems to have had in spades.

    Anyone who plays adventure games for deep stories and complex characters should definitely avoid this one, but players looking for a short, surreal point & click will undoubtedly enjoy their time in the Bunker if they can look past the flawed gameplay experience.

    This is a game that shows there’s still plenty of power in punk.

    Screencheat has definitely come a long way since it entered Early Access on Steam. At the time it was definitely fun to play, but the novelty would wear off somewhat due to the lack of maps and game modes. But with the new additions of new maps and game modes, some cool new weapons and the introduction of the Training mode so that offline play is available, Screencheat has some added replayability.

    The Weaponographist has the small advantage of being light, mindless and easy to pick up. It would be tempting to recommend the game for those impatient or uninterested in more intricate Roguelike mechanics, but it is exuberantly padded and becomes increasingly difficult in the later stages.

    Pretty, fast, and fun, Lost Orbit makes it sound like being lost in space might not be all bad after all.

    Like its predecessors, it brings something unique to the 4X table that goes beyond the sum of its parts.

    If you’re looking for some politically charged, bloody action, then Not A Hero will get your vote.

    The controls, once you get used to them, work well and with the huge range of superstars, multitude of game modes and professional presentation of the bouts, WWE 2K15 is a worthy return to PC.

    If you absolutely love sliding block puzzles, there’s probably something in Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle for you. For the rest of us, there are a few tidbits to tickle our curiosities, but nothing much else to keep us entertained throughout the huge number of levels.

    Some might say that Wolfenstein: The Old Blood doesn’t add enough new to the series given the amount of time between it and the base game, but it’s important to remember that this is an expansion, not a sequel.

    This is a world full of interesting characters and visuals with some promising gameplay mechanics, but it ends too soon.

    For all of the meddling with time Perils of Man focuses on, it feels like time is the one thing it needed more of to really develop itself into another classic adventure game.

    Magicka: Wizard Wars definitely struggles a bit with its steep learning curve and some serious bugs that need to be addressed, but the quick, energetic games are largely worth the struggles.
    • 47 Metascore

    The core concept, while unoriginal, is at least interesting, and it's backed up by a broadly well-realized world. Sadly, the whole thing is scuppered by the absolutely comical AI, which single-handedly removes all tension from the game and transforms it from moody sci-fi horror into disappointing nonsense, frustrating and unintentionally hilarious in equal measures.

    From top to tail-pipe, Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 is every bit a fun game, but it doesn't always live up to its predecessor. Much has been improved in terms of added variety in cars, but there are still many areas that feel under-developed and lacking in substance, even in comparison to that earlier title.

    The action is engaging and challenging, largely due to massive mobs and a versatile list of enemy types. If you can live with its admittedly minor flaws, this run-and-gun game is worth your time and money.

    This is a game that appeals to all gamers, not just fans of rhythm games, but it’s a damn good rhythm game regardless.

    Although Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China doesn’t have the same feel to it as recent Assassin’s Creed titles, it does perform well as a platformer.

    Lockdown isn’t a bad game, it’s just one that already feels either dated, or incomplete.

    It does lack that little bit of polish that would make it a great game, but Primal Carnage: Extinction is still worth your time, especially if you love dinosaurs.

    Despite the somewhat slow pace, there are some neat ideas in Convoy and I quite enjoyed my time playing it. Combat is interesting, even if it can become quite formulaic over time, especially when you have to restart the game fairly often.

    Verdun is a game that should appeal to any FPS fans looking for something different.

    If you’ve ever wanted to send a wide-eyed Disney princess and her siblings into battle against the forces of darkness, miles above the original home of man, you really should give it a spin.

    Those good first impressions eventually fall to the wayside however, as the game abandons plot threads on a dime and fails to create any form of logical progression in its puzzles. Which is a shame, because Dead Synchronicity has good ideas; they just don’t sync today.
