Save your money for next year’s Street Fighter V.

A solid trio of games, let down by two lesser entities and a control scheme that can be laggy.

Cuddly cute, surprisingly, outrageously fun and best of all ­ minimally flawed.

A promising new IP where the game is fun and the flaws are quickly forgotten.

Persistent fun and an abundance of content.

Between the outrageous story and visuals that ooze 8-bit charm, this is a great game to scratch that retro itch - if a little steep price wise. If you like indie pixel-art games, you’ll probably enjoy this.

Stunning visuals and tight combat make up for a lacklustre story mode.

A daring idea that is pulled off brilliantly and beautifully for hours of prison breaking fun.

Definitely worth the time to play it, but probably only once.

Great if you’ve got spare controllers to break and you don’t mind turning red.

Same lovable formula, but not much else.

Fun, a little repetitive, but totally replayable, just wish the middle of the story was better.

One of it’s most enjoyable episodes, with some of the best action and choices to date.

All of this has me very eagerly waiting for the next episode, and wishing it wasn’t six weeks away. But the thing behind most of that anticipation is the thing I can’t talk about - one hell of a cliffhanger ending, that I never saw coming.

A lacklustre ending and unremarkable adventure game mechanics may hold Perils of Man from reaching its full potential, but this is still a game worth checking out for anyone who likes a good time travel story with a compelling lead.

The platforming feels off, the puzzle solving is either too easy or too restrictive, and the humour regularly falls flat.

It’s like having a three-legged cat with serious temper issues - it’s a love-hate relationship and much irritation, but there is always an underlying fondness.

We’re still left with a good RPG, but one that’s held back somewhat by tedious quest design and an overreliance on sexist cliches.

This feels like a waste of time, let alone money.

While not all of their efforts have translated perfectly, Project CARS comes pretty damn close. Some frame rate drops hampered my experience, but overall Project CARS has done what it set out to do: build a fantastic looking, authentic racing simulator.

You can’t be a master of everything, and Tom Happ has cleared mastered the exploration element, level design, and sense of progression - the most fundamental parts of a Metroidvania game.

Competent, compelling gameplay, but with an uneven tone.

Empires is only a minor advancement in the franchise, but a must-buy for any series fan.

All design style with no narrative substance.

State of Decay has everything you could ever imagine in a zombie game, and than some. But, it still plays and feels like an Xbox Live Arcade game. Thankfully, at around $30, it’s priced like one too.

The very bread and butter of this game, its revolving concept, can be as frustrating as it is interesting. Creating something original does not provide free-parking on Metacritic Station, even if it is bread flying across a room.

Ultimately there's less micro-management in Cities: Skylines than in SimCity, but it in no way feels like something cut-down or "cloney." No, Cities: Skylines is its own game - an impressive feat considering the lineage of the genre.

Maybe Omega Force should make RPGs their main focus.
