A really good and simple platform game, which children and parents will love.

Huge amount of content, many possible choices with distinct consequences, reappearance of beloved characters... Despite some obvious flaws and various shortcomings, Dragon Age: Inquisition certainly feels like a step in the right direction for the series.

Half-platform, half-documentary Never Alone uses videogames as an expressive medium to get us in touch with a civilization that has been dealing with nature's hardships for centuries. If you choose to ignore its short duration, you will find that you will learn a valuable lesson or two from its simple yet effective storytelling.

Certain elements, like the frequent use of Quick-Time-Events, might alienate the more hardcore PC gamers out there. However, Lone Wolf HD Remastered remains, in its core, a true Lone Wolf adventure that does more than enough credit to Joe Dever's original works.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris offers a short but a really fun experience, and gamers who enjoy a good action/puzzle game surely will be pleased.

Warhammer 40K: Armageddon is a simplified Panzer Corps in a classic and beloved sci-fi world. Hardcore strategy fans may invest in a fair price drop.

Randal's Monday had the potential to be a really great adventure. The plot is interesting enough and tickles the curiosity of the player to see how the story ends, but the game suffers from many exaggerated puzzles and some tiresome dialogues.

An overly ambitious effort that has it's moments, but ultimately falls short of it's advertised potential.

The Venom table ranks among the most challenging to ever be released on Zen Studios' extraordinary Pinball FX2 Platform.

Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms is a solid action/RPG overall. If you are looking for something in the vein of Diablo, you might be disappointed. But if you want something with an interesting story, novel mechanics and exquisite level design to dig in then Shadows is a worthy investment.

Hunters of The Dead combines elements from different genres such as Tower-Defence, Resource Management and RPG's. Although it features well-designed gameplay mechanics, the game doesn't stand out.

This game tries to offer something fresh and different, especially compared to the numerous war-oriented games we see nowadays, but quickly becomes repetitive.

Telltale's blockbuster triumph, Iron From Ice easily stands amongst the beloved TV show's top moments. Deeply personal and quite visceral, the ante is tremendously upped by the fact that you are no longer called upon to decide the fate of a single individual, but your entire House. Choices take on a whole new meaning when you have the weak and those who look up to you for guidance and protection to consider. This, along with Tales from the Borderlands, are an exquisite opening salvo from Telltale, ushering in the third age of interactive movies. We could not be more excited about the prospects.

With very dense storytelling and ambiguous ending, The Old City: Leviathan is a very intriguing, non-conventional (walking-simulator) title that will leave you wondering what you experienced during your play. Its philosophical inquiries will keep on nagging, pressing for one more playthrough in the hopes of getting a clearer meaning.

Quite possibly Telltale's single funniest, most enjoyable game to date. It will remind you of Full Throttle, Space Quest and every single anti-hero you ever grew up with. Regardless of your opinion of the Borderlands universe, this is an unmissable ride into the sheer, exuberant joy of setting the world on fire and getting away with it all.

Far Cry 4 is an amazing game, there is no doubt about it. Especially in a matter of content is unrivaled: huge length of the single player campaign, co-op and multiplayer capabilities and an integrated map editor. However, we hope that it will not fall in the pitfall of the annual releases like other Ubisoft's titles.

Deeply atmospheric artwork and an excellent soundtrack set the premise for a deeply personal horror experience that loses its footing when it comes to hit or miss puzzle design and stealth sections that seem to punish the player, detracting from an otherwise very strong experience.

In This War of Mine you control a group of civilians, who are struggling to survive during a war conflict. Based on the siege of Sarajevo, the game offers a great experience the real terror of war.

The new turn-based operations map approach that is introduced in CoH2AA increases the level of replay-ability. This combined with the tactical strategy elements that are sustained throughout the series make the game one of the best RTS experiences out there.

With a story that would be considered nothing special, FFXII shines with its fast-paced combat and challenging difficulty. Although it introduces many changes to the series, it provides a good amount of things to explore providing hours of fun.

Lords of the Fallen is a truly epic game but its smaller and worst than the Souls series games... at least it tried to dare where no one dared before.

Escape Dead Island is a solid c-reel splatter movie, offering simple yet satisfying stealth and combat, along with a plethora of interesting collectibles to discover. Its main narrative and the way it presents itself is by far its greatest strength. Its cardinal sin is that it is being sold as a full price AAA title, when it is very clearly, a budget release, destined for Steam sale cult game stardom. It will entertain you, but the price needs to be right.

PES 2015 is a step forward to the next gen football sims. The core gameplay mechanisms are well-balanced, resulting in the game to be a real fun to play and surely the best of the series until now.

Assassin's Creed: Unity is maybe one of the best games of the series, but the unacceptable (for an AAA game) technical issues and the low performance even on high-end systems make it difficult to suggest someone buy at full price.

Better than last year's version, but only just. Football Manager 2015 sports the usual array of interface, AI and match engine improvements but on a smaller scale than we are used to. As such this year's edition of the definitive football management sim is not the absolute must-buy that it usually is, but it is undoubtedly better than FM 2014 and it will provide hundreds of hours of gameplay to football and gaming fans worldwide.

Immensely challenging and beautifully synergistic systems come together to form an unexpectedly refreshing genre hybrid. If you're a die-hard pinball fan and not afraid of a challenge, Rollers Of The Realm will absolutely delight you.

The first Legend of Grimrock managed to pay homage to the forefathers of its genre, while being free of the shortcomings that often plague retro productions. Its successor, following the same footsteps has managed to expand this successful core towards new directions. It is bigger, technically superior and it offers deeper gameplay. Nevertheless, if you aren't familiar with grid based gameplay, try it out yourselves prior to purchasing it.

With a very satisfyingly long runtime, excellent, challenging puzzles designed for hardcore adventure game players and it's inimitable mood, atmosphere and graphic presentation, the Dream Machine is only held back from "instant classic" status by it's lack of recorded voice-overs. Everything else in this surreal odyssey of the mind is simply top notch and guaranteed to find a place in the hearts of true adventure gamers everywhere.

While Binding of Isaac is a good contender for the Indie Game of 2014 title, it surely is the best roguelike game of our generation. Edmund McMillen unravels and dedicates his creative genius in bringing a remake of a game full of meaningful additions and improvements on gameplay. BoIR provides a golden standard on how games should be remade and/or improved. Whether you are a gamer who seeks small half-an-hour shots of gaming or a crazed achievement completionist, you'll have a hell of time (and it will be a lot) playing Rebirth. Get it now.

Even though a glimmer of an intriguing concept lies at its design core and I don't doubt that the lads at Epiphany Games have the finest of intentions, this is neither The Secret World, nor Hotline Miami. The stealth and combat are simply atrocious when attempted with PC controls, and a host of bugs will often break the more interesting parts of the game. The excellent soundtrack and the sheer manic glee with which the developers tried to include every conspiracy theory ever pondered in two and a half hours of gameplay is admirable but Majestic Nights has a long way to go before it can even be considered for cult stardom.

An unsatisfactory repetition of last year's game, F1 2014 cannot justify its release. The minor gameplay improvements are inadequate, compared to the various deficiencies, such as graphics and sound stagnation, lack of ERS system, absence of a special gaming mode like Champions or Classic mode of 2012 and 2013 respectively, problematic A.I and erratic penalty system.

A tremendous wasted opportunity for a definitive remake of a legendary turn-based game. Its gameplay fundamentals are solid, the presentation is nice and the combat system is fun enough, but numerous technical problems, performance issues, unfinished and sloppy gameplay and interface elements as well as several other issues tarnish a game that may eventually become quite good with further development and support. Until that happens you are better off waiting.

BlazeRush is one of the most exciting and addictive easy-to-learn/hard-to-master games that you can play, especially if you intend to play it with friends.

A hardcore, unforgiving, old school survival horror blockbuster, heir to the same triumphs and pitfalls as all of its ilk. The story ultimately fails to make a lasting impression, but the frantic, two bullets and a prayer sense of always being half a step away from horrible death and dismemberment, greatly succeeds in making this a hugely satisfying romp through the darker side of the human psyche.

State of Decay, besides its flaws, is among the few good efforts of conveying a zombie apocalypse to the PC.With its interesting character progression and base building mechanics, along with the generous content of the DLC's, it is a good bang for the buck for the people who are fond of slaughtering decaying humanoids.

The apparent willingness from the development team to invest emotion and drama in the game's plot, combined with various, interesting, characters give us a nice start for an interactive storytelling game whose biggest drawback is the complete lack of voice overs. At this point, the choices we make do not lead to serious differentiation of events, but that's something many games of this relatively new category suffer from.

Crytek offers us the most visually beautiful game in recent months but the improvements that could be done are numerous and concern mainly the gameplay, the campaign duration and some serious bugs.

Another great installment in the Borderlands franchise, the Pre Sequel takes things to the next level with a fantastic story, great characters and new innovative gameplay, which will make you jump for joy...Quite literally.

A satisfying Hack & Slash game that requires a tactical approach rather than mindless clicking in order to enjoy it in full. The use of the rule-set, tables and classes from Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition turns an already huge game in a replayable heaven. My only gripe would be the path-finding of characters, something that has plagued all Infinity Engine games since their inception.

Police Crime Action is a game where we try to balance the duty of a police officer and his personal life. What could be an interesting idea ends up to being a buggy game with decade-old graphics.

Combining many indie games in one sounds great in theory, but the implementation isn't as good as in practice. Although it is a solid platform game, the puzzles and the collaboration between the heroes struggle to maintain the player's interest. At least if someone is inclined to overlook the game's problems, he will have some good moments with it.

Considering that NBA 2K14 was the best basketball simulator ever made, NBA 2K15 has even better animation, graphics and A.I. For basketball fans there is no other choice.

The Legend of Korra, judging it as a low-budget game, is quite satisfactory for both fans of beat' em up and TV series, but I cannot recommend it for the younger audience due to the highly demanding combat system.

Either as a remake of the 1993 ultra classic or a modern 2014 adventure game, it easily stands as one of the best adventure games we have seen during this year, possibly the very best. Whoever loves the genre should really thank Pinkerton Road Studios and Phoenix Online Studios for this delicate revamped version.

Brutal, irreverent, funny and banking on some rock solid Castle Crashers/Binding of Isaac mechanics that will simply have you playing "one more level" long into the night.

Excellent randomly generated level design and very high difficulty. There is no doubt that Spelunky is one of the greatest 2D roguelike platforms ever created.

Trying to solve jigsaw puzzles while killing zombies. It is nothing but an interesting idea.

A nice idea and solid implementation of the triangles usage. Highly recommended for the fans of the genre but I can't say the same for the rest of the gamers.

Wildstar banks on hardcore raid and instance difficulty as well as its excellently implemented "dancing" real time combat mechanic to offer something significantly new and fresh to the MMORPG scene. Low server population and annoying hints of a "Pay To Win More" model hold it back in certain areas, but it has all the potential of becoming a well established and much loved setting for years to come.

A competent, well-made stealth game that can offer quite a few fun gameplay hours. Unfortunately, the transition from the RPG stylings of Of Orcs And Men to stealth caused the game to lose some of its special atmosphere and charm, mainly due to the lack of banter and dialogue between the two unlikely protagonists of the previous game. Still, if you're looking for a quality stealth game Styx: Master of Shadows is well worth the money.

A terrific couple of tables that are bound to win over even non South Park enthusiasts on the sheer merit of their crazy, anarchic humor and multitude of options. If you're already an honorary citizen of South Park, this is a no-brainer, must have title.

With a very affordable price, Fenix Rage offers countless hours of gameplay. It's a little gem for all the friends of difficult platformers.

A more than welcome return of Double Fine's hallmark sense of twisted humor and absolute cuteness, Costume Quest 2 expands on its combat model, bringing welcome tactical depth to the proceedings, but still not quite escaping end-game repetition fatigue. A strong offering nevertheless, that can very well be my favorite annual gaming tradition, on cuteness factor alone.

A sublime, wonderfully scary horror/stealth game with beautiful graphics and fun gameplay. The eponymous alien is a constant threat, forcing the player to stay on his toes and brave the shadows in order to survive his trek inside the Sevastopol space station. The game's only major misstep is that it slightly outstays its welcome as the campaign drags on longer than it should have. Other than that, Alien: Isolation is one of the best horror games of the last few years.

The technical part remains somewhat problematic, but the rest of the game is of outstanding quality. In terms of grand strategy, it's one of the best games and it can deservedly stand next to its ancestors in the same series. Too bad that, as it seems, the publishers did not give the appropriate time frame to the developers. The potential was there, only more time was needed.

Crimes and Punishments is a nearly excellent game, one of those anybody enjoys playing calmly every afternoon / night, until he reaches its end. It brings many innovations to the franchise, such as moral choices, conclusions about various characters' possible guilt and heavy use of deduction boards. The only thing I just can't stop wondering about is if Holmes himself would like his cases to be as simplified and easy to solve.

This is not a bad game. It's just that it certainly cannot rise up to the expectations created by former titles released by Wadjet Eye Games, such as Gemini Rue, Resonance and Primordia. Nevertheless, a nice enough commercial debut for Grundislav Games and Francisco Gonzalez.

Shadow of Mordor is more than a decent game that will be appreciated by most gamers, while die-hard Tolkien fans will have one more reason to love it.

Even after a three year delay, Outland is still a great and fun game.

For one more year FIFA 15 manages to maintain its high standards with a further addition of new animations and even better visuals. However, the same thing cannot be said for the gameplay which remains virtually unchanged from its predecessor.

The unbelievable graphics, the atmosphere and the feeling of lonely wandering manage to beat some design flaws such as lack of manual saving, possible backtracking and the failed jump scare moment. A game which will be discussed for a long time.

A true proto-gothic horror piece, Neverending Nightmares feels like a hellish walk through an unpublished Edgar Allan Poe short story. The excellent sound design and unsettling, stylized visuals provide an experience that will linger with the player long after the end credits have rolled.

Wasteland 2 is the Fallout 3 we always deserved to have and never got. It proves in an emphatic way that the heart and spirit of a true RPG is not in shiny graphics, jazzy explosions and continuous DLCs, but in its content.

Want to be a heli rescuer? You can try. An interesting idea ruined by the presence of bugs, problems in control during gameplay, and graphics at least a decade old.

The Sims 4 is a weird encounter, it feels upgraded but at the same time it feels chopped down in favor of future DLCs. No doubt the loyal fans will enjoy the new member in the Sim family but some more hardcore players will feel that they are moving a step back and not a step back to prepare for a leap.

Nice concept but the sense of horror goes away really quickly. Action is presented in a repetitive way and the resource management doesn't work as well as it could have. Nonetheless the player will still have a few scares.

Despite its drawbacks, Shadowgate manages to maintain the aura and evocative atmosphere of the original game. The old-school style of the game is more than obvious and will be appreciated mostly by the fans of the series.

A brilliant concept resulting in a game that is only limited by the sheer demand it puts on the player. Lacking tutorials or guidance of any sort, Hack 'N' Slash will delight hacking enthusiasts and students of computer science to no end, whilst at the same time utterly terrifying and mystifying anyone looking for the trademark easy good times associated with the Double Fine logo. This is a unique gateway into the world of figuring out what makes video games tick and the presentation is absolutely wonderful but only the most dedicated, hardcore, ingenious players will manage to see it through to it's end. Easily one of the hardest games of the past five years, Hack 'N' Slash is blessed and cursed by it's own unique design concept.

If someone owns Metro: Last Light, there's absolutely no reason to buy the Redux version. Graphically its the very same game, while the DLC content and the Survival/Spartan mode are not enough to justify this new release and the 20 euros price, even with the differentiation the later offers to the gameplay. On the other hand, whoever hasn't played the original game yet, has another good reason to do it now.

Super Time Force Ultra is one of the best indie games you can find, which offers a "smart" run 'n' gun action guaranteed to keep you glued to your seat, trying to master the "tricks" of time. However, this experience may not last long.

One of the most atmospheric and immersive first person shooters of recent years becomes even better, by enriching its gameplay, normalizing its performance and enhancing its graphics, with the use of the latest 4A engine features. Its main disadvantage is the discontinuation of price discount for those who already own the original Metro 2033 upon official release.

Dead Rising 3 is a remarkable game, capable of bringing a lot of fun to fans of open-world games and zombies. Unfortunately the modest technical area and the poor performance even on high-end computers, may be a let off to a lot of gamers who would like to try it.

Ultra Street Fighter IV is a great experience and should not be missed from the collection of any fan of fighting games.

Risen 3: Titan Lords is a traditional Piranha Bytes game with everything that the definition entails. Fans of the company know all too well that it is more than capable of creating engaging, engrossing RPGs and Risen 3 is no exception. However, the series' trademark idiosyncrasies are still there and that means that Risen 3: Titan Lords is, as is often the case with Piranha Bytes games, a "love it or hate it" affair.

Guacamelee: STCE is an incredible game that you should experience (again). Viva La Resurreccion!

Highly accessible to newcomers whilst providing a solid challenge for pinball wizards and perfectly channeling the essence and spirit of the Walking Dead game, this table is the ideal starting point for the amazing world of Pinball FX2. Miss at your own peril.

Very sloppy design, extremely illogical and frustrating puzzles, unprovoked incidents and unnecessary back and forth goings make this chapter even worse than the first one. I am afraid that things cannot improve as much as they ought to do, in order to make the next two chapters able to save the day.

A suitably powerful finale that solidifies Telltale's mastery of the genre. It remains to be seen whether or not they can diversify their gameplay enough in order to make a third season of the Walking Dead a viable and vital addition to gaming, instead of a Las Vegas type one-trick pony. If anyone can pull it off, it's Telltale.

Heading towards its finale, this unique game has all the potential of becoming one of the modern games which will be mentioned in the years to come, as the classic and most important representatives of the point 'n' click genre. If nothing goes terribly wrong with the third and final part, it certainly will achieve that.

I am sure that in a few years from now we will commemorate Divinity: Original Sin as we commemorate legendary games of the past. The "Baldur's Gate" of the new generation is here.

This first chapter serves as a truly special start for an episodic adventure game. It has many positive aspects packed together -unique looks, lovable main characters, awesome voice overs, a price that makes it a must buy- and contains a respectful number of puzzles. If some of them were a bit more challenging, its length would easily be extended. In any case, it's an ideal and very promising debut.

I really wanted to like the game and play it again and again, but once I tried all the characters and finished it, I had no desire to start anew. Maybe, if you have good company and try the co-op mode, you might find it interesting for a while, but nothing more.

Unfortunately I did not find anything interesting in this first chapter of AR-K, bearing in mind that the whole sphere thing is kept for the next parts of the game. It has very serious flaws, with the biggest ones being its irritating and illogical puzzles and the tremendously brief length.

Eventually the motto "Hunt Bigger Game" for Magic 2015 should be changed to "Hunt for Money". Stay away from this game.

Pure Pool offers a realistic, no frills, excellently hardcore approach to pool. Once all multiplayer/online issues are resolved, this will be the go-to title for straight up, no nonsense pool between purists.

Sokobond is puzzle game that follows brilliantly the rule 'less is more'. Simple rules of chemistry dictate the puzzles of the game, without the need of their profound knowledge. Sokobond demonstrates how simple a concept or an idea can be, yet how hard it is to reach that goal. Isn't this, what science is all about? Definitely recommended.

Age of Wonders III offers a very good option for turn-base strategy fans, continuing successfully the legacy of the series. It offers many hours of play, especially if you want to taste every bit of detail. Some further improvements which would force the player to ponder of his strategy before acting are needed. Nonetheless, Age of Wonders III is an amazing game that will always keep you thinking "one more turn".

Even though the story seems to be completely on rails by this point, with player input influencing practically nothing, Telltale still manages to deliver cinema-quality storytelling and entertainment. If a third season of the Walking Dead is to be successful however, major changes have to be made to a formula, that after a triumphant run, begins to show signs of fatigue.

Abyss Odyssey is a pretty interesting adventure, worth trying if you like "mild" roguelike games with focus on the fighting element, but it needed a little tweaking to its gameplay mechanisms in order to qualify as a pure diamond.

A tremendous wasted opportunity to associate Neil Gaiman's name with a video game truly worth of his reputation, Wayward Manor is a game without an audience. Gaiman fans will be put off by the lack of a script or any sort of engaging storyline and puzzle/casual/mobile fans have a lot more, far more polished options offered at a fraction of the price.

Sniper Elite III is clearly the best game in the series. Rebellion managed to correct some of the previous games' glaring mistakes and improve on its already compelling game mechanics. The only thing keeping it from achieving a higher score is a lack of focus in the story department and a couple of relatively minor flaws. Otherwise, highly recommended to both fans of the series and newcomers alike.

Whether you're a fan of the old X-COM/UFO games and you were not covered by the streamlined version of Firaxis either you adored the recent XCOM: EU and you are looking for something in the same style, but with more gameplay depth, then Xenonauts must go directly to your "to-buy-list".

A true labor of love, Quest for Infamy celebrates the legend of Sierra On-Line of yore, even as it probably terrifies and mystifies anyone born after 1994 or so. A huge game, chock full of content, it will make you work for every inch of ground you get and always manage to leave a smile on your face.

You will enjoy the beautifully painted graphics. You will experience the charming atmosphere as you will read the stories of the deceased occupants of the Mansion and that's all. No serious challenge, no real horror.

An outstandingly paced and flawlessly executed finale to one of the most memorable game settings of all time and space.

Shovel Knight is really a unique game that appeals, without fear and full of passion, both to new players and to the old retro games lovers.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a game full of character. Even though it deals with one of humanity's bloodiest chapters it is not an extremely violent game. It delivers its purpose which is to educate about the Great War, and it does not fail to deliver the necessary feel to the proper ending.

With clever puzzles but also poor graphics and story, the final feeling is positive. As the difficulty is above average, the game is recommended only for the fans of the genre.
