They try every year and fail every year. Unfortunately, the latest attempt doesn't break that streak. It's boring and repetitive, with the Pro Team modus serving as the only saving grace... which just isn't enough.

Short, but fun. Now if only they'd polish the technical hiccups by the next episode, we won't be so lukewarm about it.

A walking simulator that drops you into an intriguing story, set in a wonderful world and scored with beautiful music, but still a walking simulator - and one with illogical puzzles and occasionally tricky controls at that.

The spiritual successor to Mega Man lacks context and piles on the technical mistakes. There's something to build upon here, but as of now, it's not exactly what we (or anyone) would call great.

It's not bad, with its sprawling white city and hard-to-resist freerunning gameplay. However, a disappointing story and graphics that don't always feel up-to-date keep it from joining the pantheon of current-gen genius.

It's tough to get into, but once you crossed that threshold, this PC port will grab you by the throat and not let go any time soon.

This is how you create DLC worth buying. Absolutely brilliant.

It's still far from perfect - clumsy controls, long loading times and disappointing minigames see to that - but Sherlock Holmes' newest videogame adventure is still a lot of fun, mainly due to the interesting cases that keep taking things in unexpected directions.

Fans will love it, newcomers won't understand any of it.

A mysterious and varied world, as well as inventive puzzles, make Soul Axiom definitely worth checking out, even if long loading times, annoying bugs and clumsy controls don't exactly turn it into a must-have.

An enormous level must mean an enormous amount of things to do, right? Right? Nope.

This could have been interesting, but - among other things - clumsy gameplay, long loading times and a lack of online adversaries keep it from reaching its true potential. Shame.

Blizzard once again proves they're capable of anything, delivering an amazing colorful shooter that's worth every penny you spend on it. Shame there's no single-player mode though; we'd love to know more about these characters.

Superficial, highly repetitive and at times flatout boring... these turtles are best left in the darkest depths of the sewers, where they belong.

Still as much of a tactical joy as you remember. Very much worth picking up (again).

A decent return of a classic, held a little bit back by clunky controls and a weird story structure.

Despite a great start and a unique setting, Homefront: The Revolution's technical weaknesses overshadow every aspect of this game that showed promise. Shame.

DOOM is an awesome return to form, not just for the franchise but also for the old school shooter genre. A triumph, held back only by lengthy loading times and a slight lack of depth in the single-player campaign. Not that these nitpicks matter when you're shooting demons left and right with a big grin on your face.

It's not perfect - characters get stuck on terrain, there's only a few multiplayer maps and you can't change characters in the middle of a match - but neither are we. Colorful characters, enjoyable gameplay with quite a bit of depth and Humor with a capital H make Battleborn a shooter that is certainly worth your attention.

Faster, funnier and more varied, the third episode of King's Quest improves upon its predecessors in almost every way.

Ancient animations and disappointing shooting mechanics can't keep this episode from continuing the first episode's positive trend, even if it takes the score down a little.

Eliot Ness' battle with Al Capone is quite unique for the genre and manages to set up an interesting little series in a couple of hours.

A brilliant atmosphere, a packed level and more options than any Hitman fan can wish for, yet the episodic nature of the game remains annoying, while the problems concerning connection are downright irritating at this point.

Telltale Games ends its brief sidequest with an enjoyable and interesting conclusion. Fans of The Walking Dead will not want to miss this.

Fun concept, terrible execution. Next!

Games don't get any better than this. An absolute masterpiece from Naughty Dog and a great conclusion to a great franchise.

The unique concept should be applauded, but can't keep the game from becoming stale after a while. Unfortunately, flawed input registration drags the experience down even further.

Housemarque once more delivers an excellent game, with simple yet addictive twin-stick action for the ages. The ability to play co-op puts the icing on an already delicious cake.

A fantastic reimagination of a PlayStation 2 classic, Ratchet and Clank once again represents Insomniac at the height of its game.

Adam's Venture: Origins is fun, mainly because of its enjoyable story and engaging puzzles. However, its short length makes the price tag seem unreasonable, especially when you consider the fact that Adam's gameplay antics haven't exactly aged well.

It's not very innovating, but then again it doesn't need to be. Without reinventing the wheel, Dark Souls III manages to one-up its predecessor and crown itself the best game in a remarkable franchise.

Easy to learn, hard to master; DiRT Rally is a wonderful off-road racing game that will keep fans playing for months to come.

An interesting story dragged down by a lack of character depth, République offers decent stealth gameplay for those willing to invest some time and effort in it.

It's a bit weird how the fifth episode of the series sets up an entirely new story, leaving players hanging when they were probably looking for some closure. The episode itself is fine, though input registration remains flawed and the puzzles once more lack challenge. Telltale has made better series in the past than this one and it's without a doubt making better ones as we speak.

Dark Souls in 2D? Yes, please!

Short, but sweet. Intense and exciting, but not exactly new. Interesting, but familiar. Why change a winning team?

The progression system is a bit off, but if you're willing to overlook that, you'll find the same blend of fun content and trial & error gameplay that the Trackmania series is known for.

It took a while, but EA put UFC back on the virtual map with an excellent fighting game that gets every detail just right.

A brilliant concept is hampered by a limited amount of content, while playing online doesn't have nearly as much charm as playing on the couch with a couple of friends does.

The ideal love child between Blood Money and Absolution, the first episode of Hitman is unnecessarily hampered by its episodic nature. It's good, but it's also over before you know it.

Ten times the colours, ten times the content... if you don't mind a bit of repetitiveness every now and then, you'll love this sequel.

Underwhelming AI and questionable future prospects aside, The Division remains above all a classy RPG-shooter, set in a rich environment and taking co-op gameplay to a whole new level. It's a decent enough start for a new IP, even if we're left wondering about its lifespan.

It's not long, but it does offer traditional Telltale gameplay with an intriguing story as backdrop. We're looking forward to the next one.

Fans of trial & error know what to do: get this! It's a fun mobile game with challenging puzzles and an interesting art style, that encourages players to think strategically and plan their moves carefully. Definitely worth your money.

Disappointingly incomplete as far as content goes; quite great in the gameplay department. Whether the good outweighs the bad is in this case up to you.

We could've done without the repetitive sidequests and annoying backtracking, but Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is still a decent, if somewhat unimaginative experience.

As cute as it is touching, and as unique as it is enjoyable, Unravel is a title very much worth experiencing.

The best of the Assassin's Creed Chronicles games, Russia lifts the concepts and ideas of its predecessors to a higher level, while still not quite reaching the lofty heights it's aiming for.

Loading times and clumsy controls aside, Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders is a nice little throwback to the glory days of point & click adventures.

Fans will enjoy this extensive take on the Naruto license.

A breath of fresh air in the Far Cry franchise, Far Cry Primal makes up for its lacklustre storyline with enjoyable gameplay and a genuinely interesting setting.

LEGO by numbers... Which isn't really a bad thing.

It's a decent way to spend some time in-between the bigger releases, though Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India is ultimately too superficial to make a lasting impression. A promising setting ultimately isn't enough to keep this 2D platformer interesting.

This War Of Mine successfully evokes emotion with a gripping tale and deep gameplay. However, limited replay value and a number of technical problems hamper the fun.

A port that does the original release justice, The Banner Saga is just as much of a wonderful experience on PS4 as it was on PC.

The lack of intuitive controls ensures that the PS Vita version of Gravity Rush remains the best one. If you can get past that, however, you'll find that this PS4 port is still a rush very much worth experiencing.

There are some minor annoyances - long loading times and weird bugs, to name a few - but other than that, Milestone finally gets their rally formula right. Get your helmets on, folks. This is going to be a wild, if sometimes a little bumpy ride.

More luck- than skill-based and way too repetitive to stay interesting for longer than a couple of short play sessions. Next!

The core gameplay is wonderfully realized, making this free-to-play game very much worth getting into. Be prepared to withstand temptation, however, for money is still the easiest way to get to the good stuff.

Old, clunky and panic-inducing... Just the way we like our Resident Evil games. However, that still doesn't excuse the fact that Resident Evil 0 is severely inferior to the Resident Evil Remake that came out just last year, which makes this remastered edition a lot less attractive.

We've been waiting for it for a long time, but The Witness is ultimately worth it. The puzzles offer a lot of challenge and the wonderfully-realized, yet mysterious world is a lot of fun to hang out in. If you're into the genre, you shouldn't hesitate.

The beginning and ending are strong, but the middle lacks depth and challenge. The story and humor keep the episode interesting throughout.

They made it possible to skip animations, which is fantastic. Other than that, this is a nice, if a bit brief, continuation of the first episode with an interesting story and enjoyable gameplay.

It's a bit repetitive, but those first few hours are a lot of fun because of the enjoyable gameplay, decent voice-acting and laugh-out-loud humor.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare's concept is intriguing, but technical problems, clunky controls and a mediocre presentation make for a pretty terrible experience. Shame.

Just Cause 3 is not a bad game. On the contrary, it is a lot of fun. It's a shame that our enjoyment with it is cut short by technical difficulties that really have no place in this day and age.

There's a lot of depth and strategy to be found in Rainbow Six: Siege, especially when you're playing with a headset. However, the lack of content is something to be considered when pondering the game's retail price.

After a disappointing second episode, Minecraft: Story Mode strikes back with its third iteration, hitting the mark on almost every level. We're not a fan of its short length, though. And now that we're complaining: we could do without those technical hiccups as well.

Pros: the gameplay is still awesome and enables us to use old instruments is a cool move by the developer. Cons: calibrating is way more of a challenge than it should be, and the lack of Rock Band 3 songs and online multiplayer is a downer. In this case, however, the good outweighs the bad.

DICE delivers a powerful Star Wars experience, even if the game's lack of depth and disappointing modes keep it from reaching the stratospheric heights of the movies.

Surviving the journey from PC to console by means of some truly ingenious controls, Divinity: Original Sin impresses on almost every level. Genre fans shouldn't hesitate.

A great ending to a remarkable series, even if Telltale keeps a close eye on the already announced second season by not actually resolving anything.

A fun and elaborate hockey game that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and challenging to veterans. Online you'll definitely encounter a couple of hick-ups, but none of them are bad enough to ruin the experience.

The new Need for Speed is fun enough, but the lack of a day-and-night cycle, decent AI and offline features make for an enormously disappointing package. Oh and the less said about the live action cutscenes, the better.

Fallout 4 contains a huge amount of content, with stand-outs as an interesting story, the renewed VATS-system and the ability to build settlements. Some graphical bugs, AI issues and long loading times keep it from reaching the top mark.

It still has some rough edges, but WWE 2K16 remains a very satisfying experience.

EA tries to improve with a lot of modes and a new license, though the lack of gameplay depth returns with a vengeance.

Treyarch gives us more than our money's worth with an innovative Call of Duty entry that ups the ante in every possible way.

Tales by numbers and for the most part, that's a good thing.

It starts off well enough, but the lack of challenge and humor, as well as the episode's short length, drag the experience down. The story's interesting, but so far it's not enough to keep this ship floating.

If you've played the previous episodes, buying this one should be a no-brainer. If you haven't, then what are you waiting for? This series is more than worth every dollar you spend on it.

Technically, this isn't a marvel, though as a closing chapter to this wonderful series, it delivers where it counts.

Only fans will understand this, though even they will struggle with the mediocre graphics, as well as the superficial and repetitive gameplay.

It's not the scariest game ever made, but it immerses you in a truly wonderful environment, confronts you with unspeakable horrors and makes you think about what it means to be human. There are far worse ways to spend 28 bucks.

A fun hack & slash game that unfortunately gets repetitive towards the end. Oh, and the less said about the English voice-acting, the better.

WRC 5 could have been fine, with its decent controls and beautiful environments. The good, however, far from outweighs the bad, which is why we can only recommend this to die hard rally fans and people who like an adversary that lets them win every single time. Shame.

As relaxing on the Vita as it is on the PS4, but lacking in basic features and disappointing in the graphics department; Farming Simulator 16 is a bit of a wasted opportunity.

Telltale does something truly interesting in the Minecraft universe, though it's too short and way too easy to really leave a mark.

It's a bit cliché and at times rather buggy, but those are only minor problems in an otherwise very enjoyable game. London makes for a great setting and genuine improvements in gameplay make Syndicate another step forward in the franchise.

Guitar Hero's long-awaited comeback hits every necessary mark and will have you rocking into the sunset for ages to come.

A toy-to-life LEGO game was only a matter of time. Because of this, we're glad this title turned out as great as it did. It's a bit expensive though and staying close to the portal becomes annoying rather than amusing towards the end.

An elaborate strategy experience, hurt by mediocre graphics and a disappointing fighting system. It's a shame we can't properly read the letters on the screen either.

A uniquely difficult and well-developed game, made purely for the challenge and therefore probably not for everyone.

A fine, if somewhat short and repetitive Transformers game that feels authentic in every possible way.

Pure garbage. This game's still in alpha status and thus isn't able to carry on the legacy of the franchise. Shame.

A unique puzzle game with great visuals, ditto with sound design and brilliantly thought-out levels. The frame drops get annoying at times, but fortunately this never breaks the experience.

Drake's Fortune starts to show its age, but other than that, this is a fine collection of one of the greatest franchises the PlayStation brand has ever produced. If you haven't played these yet, then what are you waiting for?

NBA 2K takes a couple of steps forwards with subtle improvements, beautiful graphics and a huge amount of content.
