    Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star
    An over-complicated story with pacing issues holds this RPG back from its full potential, especially since the prequel was not released in English first. Those who enjoy reading will no doubt have fun. A tedious magic leveling system can also scare away new fans embracing the series. Only RPG diehards and TK fans will immediately gravitate towards it.

    Natural Doctrine
    Dark Souls meets tactics in this unforgiving SRPG. Some basic design flaws hurt and slow down the gameplay of what is otherwise an enjoyable game. Not for the faint-hearted, but for those seeking a real challenge.

    Frozen Synapse Prime
    Frozen Synapse Prime marries classic turn-based action with thoughtful design like turn previews and asynchronous multiplayer. Graphics can be bland, and design frustrations wear at the experience, but it's a satisfying strategy romp made better with friends.

    Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments
    Mini-games are hit-and-miss and frequent loading screens frustrate, but there’s a lot to like about this latest series of detective adventures with some immersive cases and a decent production quality.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    DG2: Defense Grid 2
    Defense Grid 2 has some issues, but ultimately pushes the tower defense genre forward by delivering loads of fun with a quirky co-op story mode campaign and solid online competitive multiplayer modes for a great price.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Anomaly 2
    Anomaly 2 preserves the unique twist its predecessor brought to the tower defense genre but does little to expand on what came before it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Destiny
    Destiny’s faux-MMO approach to shooters is a shallow, dull experience that even hardcore fans may find difficult to stick with except to gaze at its worlds or engage in the entertaining competitive multiplayer.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Murasaki Baby
    Murasaki Baby is a wondrous artistic and emotional creation that is ultimately let down by the game’s stubborn dedication to touch controls.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition
    All issues aside, Minecraft brings to consoles what PC gamers have had for a long time, and the challenge this time around is only trumped by what can be created. The modern-day libertarian's dream has finally landed on consoles, and newcomers and veterans alike would be foolish to pass it up.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Flockers
    Overly familiar and lacking variation, Flockers still manages to embrace that one-more-go mentality with its semi-addictive blend of strategy and sheep culling.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Last Tinker: City of Colors
    Parents looking for an age appropriate adventure for their young gamer should give The Last Tinker a look, others will find it forgettable.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution
    Naruto UNS Revolution will appeal to fans of the series, though disappointingly, the game fails to offer anything meaningful to the story.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Fairy Fencer F
    A fun RPG that rewards those with the patience to delve through the story. Hyperdimension Neptunia fans will instantly be attracted to its similar charm. As a new IP it also acts as a nice launching pad for those wanting to enjoy a brand new series, especially with a sequel already announced at Sony's pre-TGS 2014 conference this year.

    Madden NFL 15
    Madden 15 gives veteran and rookie players something to take with them, as the overall package reaches a balance point worthy of the annual cost.

    Metro Redux
    Metro: Redux is one of the most atmospheric games I have played and it left me completely immersed in its world.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
    Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is a satisfying sequel that’s a fun ride despite being too similar to the original, suffering from inconsistent pacing, and overstaying its welcome.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Golf Club
    The Golf Club nails its simulation of the greatest game with an emphasis on shot variability that defies precise, predictable results. But just about everything else leaves much to be desired.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
    Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is surprisingly adept at multiplayer mayhem and character balanced, making for a seriously enjoyable diversion from military shooter ad nauseum.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Velocity 2X
    An action-packed shooter brimming with visual spectacle and solid replay value.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate
    The best game in the Warriors franchise to date, and a perfect starting platform for any new fan to the series.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment
    Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment will only offer the most enjoyment to hardcore fans of the franchise that are willing to slog through the uninspired, tedious gameplay to get to the ample fan service on offer.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    ZEN Pinball 2: The Walking Dead
    The Walking Dead table does its job at including the survival and morale-driven themes of the console game and delivers yet another expertly produced addition to the addictive virtual pinball simulator.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    inFamous: First Light
    If you're hesitating about whether or not to pick up inFAMOUS: Second Son, this is a great sample and precursor. Those who have already played it will enjoy learning about one of Second Son's most interesting characters.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
    Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition is one of the most addictive games to date and offers a massive amount of content with Diablo 3 and the Reaper of Souls expansion pack in one engrossing package.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 5 - No Going Back
    No Going Back ends a more cerebral, unfocused Walking Dead season with difficult decisions befitting a memorable experiment in morality, excusing narrative lulls and forgettable characters.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed
    A flawed, but enjoyable RPG that pushes the limits of taste in western culture. Over-sensitive gamers of the social justice persuasion will hate it, but for those who are only looking for fun can pick this up and enjoy the humor and setting, and appreciate it for what it is: A piece of otaku fandom.

    Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness
    NIS shows us tradition can easily hang with the Hollywood blockbusters of the video game world. The best game in the series, Disgaea D2 has humor, depth and story that will keep players entertained for weeks on end.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Guided Fate Paradox
    Lots of depth and replayability, but a few unexpected surprises like unusually poor voice acting dull the shine.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Surgeon Simulator: Anniversary Edition
    The novelty and humour soon wears off, but local co-op play is a great addition and perfectionists may get a kick out of the tough challenge of gaining perfect ‘A’ grades. Too frustrating to be considered fun, though it does get easier with practice.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited
    An ultimate edition of the original PS3 version. The added free goodies rewards fans and those who skipped it on the PS3. Disgaea and RPG fans will be in love, but the extra trinkets won't be enough to win over non-fans of the long running series.
