A profoundly atmospheric and virtuosically written exploration of the embattled male psyche. Uncompromising and fearless in its vision, We. The Revolution immerses and transports in a way that very few games ever achieve. An unforgettable, must-play experience.

Scott Pilgrim VS The World: The Game is a decent beat-'em up that fans of the genre should get with their eyes closed, especially when it is the first time it officially appears on PC. As for the rest, the game may offer a few hours of quality fun with friends and that is it.

A well-made space action exploration game with solid visuals and sound and an explosively fun combat system. Its non-story driven content gets repetitive after a while but you will be thoroughly entertained until then.

Beholder is a moral dilemma, an investigative adventure game, a strategic management simulator and an utterly gripping dystopian thriller all at once. In spite of its difficulty, it will simply not allow you to quit before reaching one of it’s multiple, bleak, heart-breaking endings. The atmosphere of oppression and state-run terror is palpable. A game for our times.

Pure, delicious, gothic-flavored anarchy. Flipping Death consolidates Zoink’s position as the heir apparent to Double Fine’s Throne of Video Game Humor and delivers on every front imaginable. Fans of sharp writing and offbeat humor, this one is a true delight.

Despite its “loose” treatment of established Tolkien Lore, Shadow of War manages to showcase once more why the Nemesis System is one of the greatest gaming innovations in recent memory. However, a title that manages to take the cancer that is microtransactions in a Single-Player game and metastasize it to the next level cannot, in all good conscience, be awarded a higher score than this.

Last Day of June is a bittersweet, pastel colored shot of a story about loss, grief and dedicated love. A successful mix of Ovosonic's artistic vision and Steven Wilson's haunting, melancholic tunes. As such, it provides a storytelling-based experience, with a nice touch of time-tweaking mechanics.

Boasting good puzzles and solid level design, Tormented Souls doesn't break new ground, but it does well what it set out to do. It's not a game I would recommend to everyone since you have to get used to the clunky combat and the lack of guidance and be equipped with enough patience to overcome the initial difficulty barrier.

A typical interactive storytelling game that offers some aspect of choice and consequence through dialogue with our ghost companion. Its strong point is the Victorian aesthetic that characterizes the melancholy that resides over the abandoned buildings of the islands that our heroine is marooned at. The main story is somewhat lacking and expected, and the game mostly shines when telling the lesser stories of the other past inhabitants of the islands. Technically although the 3d assets and the art that the player interacts with are highly polished, the outside natural locales are mostly unimpressive.

It’s more than obvious that “Silence” is some kind of experiment from Daedalic Entertainment. It will most likely disappoint fans of traditional point ‘n’ click adventure games, but at the same time it may prove attractive to a wider, more casual and mainstream audience, like fans of Telltale Games’ creations.

Post apocalyptic dread, a society on the brink of revolution and The Reaper Himself stalking the poisoned skies. Shardlight combines the eerie splendor of Primordia’s abandoned wasteland with a poignant political narrative. Easily one of Wadjet Eye’s finest releases.

A small work of art, well-made and compact, flooded with colours and bittersweet feelings. Unfortunately, it doesn't last longer than a Saturday gaming session.

City of Light closes the gaps of the season’s main arc, although it seems to do so hastily, without letting an unraveling to sink in before us making a conscious choice. Still Ep. 5 is an improvement from Ep. 4, yet it is relatively weak and representative of the whole season of Telltale’s Batman.

Setting aside the issues of short duration and the lack of on-line capabilities, Wulverblade is a fabulous brawler, which will surely offer you some exciting moments of pure and high-quality action.

Stylishly exaggerated and ultra-violent, irresistible 70’s funk guitar licks and a script that pays homage to the finest of poliziotteschi, this is Europe’s impeccable sneer of an answer to Hotline Miami.

While certainly not without its flaws in its initial form of release, MegaCorp, together with the 2.2 patch that accompanies it, offers some of the most substantial gameplay changes and additions we've seen from a Stellaris expansion to date.

Not Another Weekend is one of the pleasant surprises of this year. It is definitely aimed more at the over-thirty players who "matured" by playing similar games in their youth, who will naturally appreciate it more than the younger audience. Nevertheless, it has its own charm and is undoubtedly an adventure that deserves our attention.

Aliens: Dark Descent manages to absorb the player, with its main arsenal being the strong atmosphere and the high level of challenge. However, I feel that it would need a better sense of control during battles to make it a truly memorable game.

Sonic's entry into new, for him, gaming paths is overall successful, despite any problems. With a little polish and attention to detail, the next game in the series has the foundations in place to finally look eternal rival Mario in his three-dimensional, bubbly eyes.

Downfall is a deep dive into frame of mind and deeper aspects of the human brain. As a remake, it brings several changes, apart from technical improvements. Whoever loves horror games cannot miss this one.

Gravity Ghost creates a nice world in space where the swinging between planets is an interesting and relaxing activity. Even if you don't find this enough, the great music and the well narrated story is a reason to give the game a chance.

A political thriller whose hardcore puzzling and mechanics will greatly appeal to old school adventure gamers and fans of a good northern adventure yarn in general, but whose emotional impact is dampened a bit by characters that feel a bit forced. An impressive debut that puts Faravid Interactive firmly on the map.

Victor Vran is, beyond doubt, one of the most well-made and entertaining indie games of this year. It may not be the most profound or stat heavy action-RPG ever made but it has a lot of content, it is highly addictive, and shuns conventions of the genre for some interesting concepts of its own.

Dying Light is an excellent effort from Techland and perhaps the ultimate sleeper hit of 2015. Definitely it could be better in areas such as storytelling and the variety of the secondary activities, but the robust gameplay mechanisms and the long duration of the main campaign will satisfy your survival-horror needs and will make you look forward for the inevitable sequel.

Endling: Extinction Is Forever is a survival game with a clear message about the need to protect the environment. However, it never rises above mediocrity in any of its individual elements, but the shocking ending really saves the day.

Ruiner is a truly magnificent ode to Akira and Ghost in the Shell. It builds a brilliant world with a lot of narrative undertones for you to grasp, should you wish to. The physical ultra-violence is only the entry point to the dystopian atmosphere of the game. All the gameplay elements are complex enough without being overbearing to the player. You'll find yourself easily juggling through skills while you deliver carnage. In Ruiner, everything seems to have fallen into place: artistically, narratively, technically. Give it a go, you'll be amazed at how good it is.

This combination of exploration, mystery, and psychological thriller is what manages to make Get Even a decent proposal, thus overlooking its weaknesses in the action segments, the sometimes slow development of the plot, but also the totally mediocre visuals, which remind us of a production from 2013.

With the latest installment, Mr.47 is back in his original and true form. For everyone who was looking for the sequel to Blood Money, this is it, if you can get past the rough always-online component that affects the single player experience and leaves a bad taste.

Visually stunning and gorgeously animated, Ghost of a Tale comes off as an overly-ambitious labor of love. The fact that despite its multitude of technical issues and sorely missing voice-overs it manages to capture the player’s heart and imagination and take him on a journey to lands long forgotten, is a testament to its quality.

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

Chernobylite was a surprise for me. A game with addictive gameplay, interesting sci-fi plot, substantial role playing options and plenty of replayability. I definitely recommend a purchase to those interested in this type of game, but also to players who would like to try something different from the usual.

An interesting turn-based tactical game that doesn't innovate but is an honest proposition for fans of the genre.

No review can ever possibly do justice to the violent, despairing beauty of these Fables trapped in a world not their own and still holding out for something, anything, better. Telltale Games delivers a masterclass in emotionally impactful storytelling and one of the most memorable video game settings of all time.

Serpent in the Staglands is a little gem and a great new entrance to the old school RPG renaissance. It has an excellent RPG rule system and a wonderful, magical and unique world.

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.

Boltgun is one of the most fun FPSs we've played in recent years, and certainly a game worthy of the Warhammer name.

South of the Circle, an artistically vibrant narrative-based game, deals with the maladies of the academic milieu amidst the 60's Cold War paranoia. It features a wonderful pastel palette and minimalist style but be forewarned that player input is also kept on the minimal side.

King Art Games display a versatile knack for resuscitating comatose genres, first with Book of Unwritten Tales (point-and-click adventures) and now with Iron Harvest (Real-Time Strategy). Despite a few details which need, ironing out, Iron Harvest will provide you countless of hours of much-needed RTS goodness. The support roadmap can only inspire confidence that most excellent things are yet to come for the game.

Dead Island 2 is a surprisingly good game that I had more fun with than I would have expected. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but its well-made mechanics, its simplicity and its honest intentions are enough elements to score it positively.

A must-buy for the Match-3 genre fans. Ironcast is a game where you will enjoy playing battles between war machines. For this you will have to use your resources right and think twice about your next move. A good recipe for a roguelike title that will have you playing again and again, long into the night.

Gremlins Inc. is a digital board game in which winning demands the use of cunning methods. It is a very special game which all fans of the genre should buy.

Before the Storm's finale fails to deliver a fitting climax for the portrayal of a unique relationship. It feels hasty and loses scope, making the characters seem illogical and suspends our disbelief. At least the special bond that the heroines had retains its magic and young and tragic innocence.

VirtuaVerse tries too hard to combine different elements of storytelling in a point-and-click adventure. Although the main character displays contradicting personality traits that do not make any sense, the game makes up for it with a stellar soundtrack and well-designed pixel art, both contributing to the cyberpunk setting vibes.

Creepy, lusciously grotesque and most importantly, enjoyable, Carrion is one of the most refreshing games we've played in recent years and proves yet again that indie game development usually goes hand in hand with creativity.

Captain Tsubasa is not a game for everyone who loves football in the real world. It gives more importance to fan service than actual gameplay, fortunately without falling into gross mistakes.

Sundered is a game with great graphics but uninspired and monotonous design. The unfair difficulty and the poor handling of enemy distribution make Sundered a missed opportunity.

A decent attempt, on par with an episode of television’s “Fear The Walking Dead”, aimed solely at hardcore Robert Kirkman fans. It is high time Telltale re-evaluated it’s golden formula if it wishes to keep the broader gaming public engaged.

No matter how many years pass, how much gaming industry changes, there will always be space for games like 12 Is Better Than 6 and an audience to appreciate, buy and enjoy them. Sergio Leone would be proud of it!

Slain: Back from Hell is an addictive platform game forged in heavy metal culture. If you are a dedicated metalhead give it a try and shout "death to false metal" after you defeat each boss of the game.

Osmotic Studios provides yet another sharp critique of our age with their own flavor of dystopia that tends to sync with our world. Though this second installment successfully manages to immerse the player into the role of a governmental investigator, it falls a bit short on pacing and character development in comparison to the original.

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.

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.

The Thaumaturge, with its unique setting that combines Slavic folklore with a largely unexplored time in world history, is a title that oozes character. It's certainly not without its flaws, but as far as AA titles go this one is as solid as they come.

Just Cause 3 is the poetry of explosions. Continuous, glorious, nerve-shattering explosions. A particular breed of gamer will be in paradise, but if you are looking for a meaningful story or well written characters, Just Cause 3 comes up short compared to the competition.

If you like roguelike games and the idea of managing a store or even if you want to try something special, away from the ordinary indie games, Moonlighter is a good choice.

Born Punk is an adventure that certainly had all the potential to stand out, but unfortunately it fails to impress. It undoubtedly has its strong moments, but the overall taste it leaves after finishing it is mediocre, which leads us to recommend it only to adventure game fans.

Song of Horror breaths some fresh air into the Horror genre. Searching for clues and solving puzzles while being stalked by an omnipresent entity that adapts to your actions, has never been more terrifying.

A typical Metroidvania, with an emphasis on storytelling and pixel-art graphics, Gestalt: Steam & Cinder quenches the insatiable thirst of fans of the genre, but it doesn't impress anywhere.

Blackguards 2 builds on the success of its predecessor in an interesting way. Some simplifications have been made, but the game now offers a more open-ended campaign and an intriguingly deep combat system. The game's graphics and voiceovers could have been improved upon but as as a whole Blackguards 2 is a solid and entertaining sequel.

GRIP: Combat Racing is an exhilarating racing experience. There are some flaws such as a considerable increase in difficulty during the last quarter of the campaign, overly aggressive enemy A.I and physics that, sometimes, take hold in an unpredictable manner, but its bountiful content, beautifully designed tracks and adrenaline-infused action, constitute an alluring game.

The 5th episode of Hitman is a culmination of everything that was good and worthy from the beginning of the season till now. IO offers us a well balanced level, both in terms of gameplay and performance, and finally some love for the Contracts mode with the added Kill Conditions. We've almost reached the end of the line for the first season and we can't be more excited about the finale and inevitable cliffhanger.

A nice run 'n' gun shooter that offers some well-placed action sequences and 4 player local co-op gameplay. If the campaign was larger and online play was supported, then surely the game would be an offer that you couldn't refuse.

Pendragon utilizes the Arthurian Legend as a backdrop to bring forth an intriguing coalescence of chess-like tactics and interactive fiction. Challenging yet accessible and addictive.

If you have no prior experience with the franchise, Far Cry 6 is a game that can definitely be fun to play. If you're one of the series' devotees, you'll spot stagnation and repetitiveness in its mechanics from a mile away, to the point where finishing it at 100% is a real feat. Therefore, if you know what it's all about and haven't had your fill yet, then Far Cry 6 is for you. If you think you'll cry out "enough" if you see one more fortress, then leave it alone.

Where the blood of Chicago’s murdered factory workers pours roaring into the Mississippi Delta and the Devil reverently sings the lowest blues, there beats the heart of a non-existent nation. A narrative tour-de-force through one hundred years of pain, blood, loss, struggle and unlikely triumph. Minor technical issues aside, this is the new high water mark for video games seamlessly crossing over into pure art.

Αssassin's Creed: Syndicate is not entirely a bad game, but it's time to seriously work on the eternal problems of the series, rather than hiding behind fancy graphics and impressive worlds.

Everything that was good in Conquistador is taken to its next level of evolution with the change from the Strategy/RPG formula into a more "traditional" RPG experience in Viking. Fans of Logic Artists' first game and of the RPG genre in general are sure to be delighted with this authentically Norse experience filled with intrigue, cultural conflict, exploration and conquest.

Primal, while not an FPS, is unmistakably a Far Cry. Ubisoft tried an experiment with this new setting and managed to refresh the franchise without altering its core.

Mages of Mystralia is definitely an enjoyable game, maybe one of the most fun games of the year, but undoubtedly it had the prospect of something more grandeur. Perhaps the inevitable sequel will do the trick.

One of the finest fighting games ever created, currently stricken only by server issues and the lack of enough single player content. With a few updates, Street Fighter V will really shine.

If you are fond of a "special" sense of humour and you love co-op brawlers, then Zombie Vikings should be added on your wishlist.

The debut game of Mosaic Mask Studio leaves us with great promises for this company’s future activity. Talorel’s journey has all the necessary elements for a pleasant and satisfying adventure game, with smart puzzles and many accessible locations right from the beginning being the most important ones.

Milkmaid of the Milky Way seems rather a costly 2-hour adventure game. On the other hand it has a great and emotional story to offer.

Every fan of traditional point n click adventures must play and support Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure. A really solid and complete game, including humorous dialogues, smart (but not very difficult) puzzles and a unique cast of characters, with only drawback its relatively short duration.

El Hijo is a simple yet entertaining game. Using basic mechanics and an intriguing art style, it manages to successfully deliver a charming stealth adventure, despite its few flaws.

We expected nothing less from Tribute Games, which once again manages to deliver a well-rounded and complete beat 'em up that, while not reaching the high heights of the genre, but it won't disappoint fans of the genre.

Mordheim: City of the Damned is a turn-based tactical game with very deep battle and team management mechanics. Although it's much more difficult than average, its tutorial is explanatory enough even for the inexperienced player. Some imbalance issues prevent it from being a really great game.

It's a shame that Cris Tales' design held promise for something grander and although it tries to do something innovative with the combat and the implications of our decisions, the end result leaves the impression of a somewhat lite version of its best influences. Maybe we'll get there on their next game.

Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas is a Zelda clone game ported from iOS. Despite its poor graphics, it achieves to impart the feeling of exploration to the player. Even though it's not as good as Zelda, it still remains a very interesting project for the fans of action adventure games.

A suspenseful stealth/action strategy game with a strong Cold War vibe and quite a few original ideas. Not all of them land as well as they should have, but Phantom Doctrine is still a deep and engaging experience for fans of the ‘XCOM’ genre.

Even with a four-year delay, the story of John Yesterday is finally completed the way it deserved. I do not have the slightest hesitation to admit that, after the arrival of "Origins", the “Yesterday” series is the best and most interesting adventure game that the Spanish developers have given us so far in their twelve-year presence.

A worthy member of Fatshark's family of Warhammer games, but it needs more polishing and support from the developers until the remarkable core shines.

If you are eager to play Black Flag 1.5, then Assassin's Creed: Rogue will completely satisfy your needs. Otherwise, just wait for the next installment of the series.

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is an outlandish, absurd, sci-fi hodgepodge that is inexplicably endearing and has its own identity. It would be an enjoyable game if not for the dismal performance.

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.

Federations drastically enriches what was essentially the last still lacking aspect of the base game, that of galactic diplomacy. Undoubtedly one of the must-buy Stellaris expansions.

Anna's Quest is yet another surprise of adventure gaming for 2015. It proves to be a solid, pleasant and very satisfying experience, which manages to be placed relatively close to more well-known and vaunted representatives of the category, such as The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 and Dead Synchronicity. Dane Krams and Daedalic Entertainment delivered a remarkable adventure game, filled with clever and imaginative puzzles.

A Pixel Story has an interesting concept which is not implemented in the best possible way. Although it still is a good platform game, it could maintain better balance between difficulty and pace.

The Ascent is a decent and well-crafted twin-stick shooter, especially in co-op mode it can release huge amounts of adrenaline. It may not avoid the flaws and shortcomings that would give it an even higher rating, but if you're looking for an action game that will keep you fully entertained for about fifteen hours, you need look no further.

Headlander is a decent Metroidvania game, although you will not feel thrilled with any of its virtues, nor disappointed with its issues.

An emotional and heartfelt farewell to the daughter of an entire generation of gamers. The power of the narrative is such, that Telltale manages to pull one last rabbit out of it’s battered, mangled hat. As Clementine walks into the sunset, we know that we can never go home again. Telltale knows it too. It’s heartbreaking and it’s beautiful. And it’s also quite alright.

Perhaps the most complete and realistic experience we've enjoyed in the City Building Sims genre so far, the prestige of which in its early state is sadly marred by poor optimization in the graphics department.

The impression that Mirror's Edge Catalyst leaves is like a person with bones full of calcium, covered with weak flesh. A better implementation of story, characters, mission design and combat system should be the first priorities on a future sequel.

Lyrical, trippy, darkly surreal. Variable State delivers a masterclass in visual storytelling and creates a uniquely Lynchian narrative set in the American heartland. The spirits are here and they are strong. One of the greatest video-game soundtracks ever recorded can be considered an added bonus.

Dead in Vinland is a game with profound management mechanics. Quite demanding and full of challenges, it is bound to keep you preoccupied for a long time.

Children of Silentown left us with very good impressions. If its puzzle/mini game element had been tamed and there were more "typical" adventure puzzles or even like those of the last chapter, then it would have scored even higher. However, the darkly beautiful story it tells, its immersive atmosphere and the messages it wants to convey are more than enough to make it stay etched in your memory for a long time.

Telltale returns to form with Nest Of Vipers, the excellent penultimate episode of a season that is shaping up to be yet another jewel on it's interactive movie crown.

Fantasy, science fiction and electronic music mingle in this 80's neon drenched adventure. The visuals are striking, and the presentation is top notch. On the other hand, gameplay and exploration fall more on the serviceable side and that is a little disappointing because with more care put into them, Narita Boy could be a classic.
