Football Manager 2015 does not have the usual amount of revolutionary new content, but it still is a deep, tremendously enjoyable simulation that keeps the Steam clock running.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate might very well be the best chapter of the series. The vertical gameplay makes everything more interesting, all while keeping the unique hunt feeling of the series.

Beware, though, because we're still talking about a very taxing game, which might not be everybody's cup of tea.

Indiana Jones is back with a brand new adventure that pays homage to the classic movies and allows players to fully immerse themselves in the role of the famous archeologist while also discovering a new intriguing mystery and a new set of memorable characters. There were doubts about MachineGames' ability to move away from the FPS gameplay they've known for the last decade. Still, they have succeeded: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is, first and foremost, an adventure, one that involves plenty of exploration, ancient ruins, and intricate puzzles, and more importantly, it's also a great game. After revamping Wolfenstein, the Swedish studio managed to do the same with Indy.

A Plague Tale: Innocence does not show the side to any blow, allowing itself to be pointed out for a couple of minor defects, unable to affect the final result.

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! compared to the free experience on PC, adds either a lot or nothing, depending on your point of view. Pragmatically one could argue the futility of the expense in the face of mostly identical content available for free. However, the point is not this: whether you want to reward the developers after the experience with the free edition, or in case you want to approach the game using its "improved" version (despite some limitations), Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! remains a work of extraordinary emotional impact.

Arco tells a compelling story with minimal dialogue.

The new team career is awesome, and overall, the game is solid and rich with content.

There’s something special in this game: I don’t know if it’s the amazing level design, the idea of using shadows and lights like platforms and wall or the cuteness of the main character, but everything works, and works really well.

This is not simply a game, it’s a touching experience that anyone with a soul should try. It’s not the most difficult game on the market, but it’s probably one of the best.

New Leaf is the best Animal Crossing game to date. With new duties, increased tempo and lots of online options, its a well known but none the less enjoyable and in some way fresh experience. One that can grab you in its clasp for months.

Paper Mario: Color Splash is an engrossing journey and a funny and colorful game. It plays a lot like Sticker Star, but does everything better.

A wonderful second act for one of the most interesting things going on right now in videogames. Interaction is limited to the narrative side and there's not much liberty, but if you like this kind of experiments, it really is unmissable.

Sleep Attack is a tower defense game with a twist: you can rotate part of the stage. This may seem like a small thing, but it does all the difference, and above all makes Sleep Attack a special game.

A new Skylanders, a new compelling story for the fans of the series. Trap Team is not a revolution, but it's still a lot of fun to play.

Well-crafted, feature rich and with all the class Nintendo can wield. An excellent editor that will keep creators and players busy for years.

A splendid port for one of the best tower defense titles of all time. If you already have played the game in its previous incarnations, though, be aware: apart from the trophy list and the unnecessary touch controls, there's nothing really new here.
