Re-touched 2D graphics, new exciting and hilarious weapons, buildings, crafting and vehicles. Worms W.M.D. is the Worms we've always wished for ever since we played the games of old. This time, Team17 nailed it and we hope they won't settle on the success and continue to deliver exciting new content to enrich the Worm-pocalypse.

A dazzling tech-noir showcase of cutting edge writing, extraordinarily satisfying gameplay and an unrivaled, uncompromising vision of the bleak future we’re inevitably spiraling into. William Gibson would have been proud.

Episode 4 is set in exotic Thailand, offering us two targets, a huge hotel map and of course, plenty of ways to plan the perfect assassination. With what we have on our hands so far, IO Interactive has convinced us that we are to get a true and worthy successor to Blood Money. We are eager to see what they have under their sleeves for the remaining episodes.

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.

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

Interesting and really promising start. What "Slap Village" is now required to do during its two remaining chapters, is to evolve from a very nice to a great adventure game in whole.

"Explosive cartoony kitchen chaos" is the only way we can describe Overcooked with its witty humor, cute graphics and bug-free co-op experience. If you are looking for a party game while feeling lazy at home with a couple of friends, grab some booze, a couple of big sized pizzas and get lost in the co-op madness of Overcooked.

Intensely atmospheric and brilliantly executed from a “mechanical” standpoint, Quadrilateral Cowboy somehow manages to feel more like a tease for an epic saga of retro-futuristic cyber-espionage than a complete game unto itself. It will delight puzzle game fans with the clever implementation of it’s “hacking” routines and balanced learning curve but story fans will potentially find less than they may expect.

While it is still quite early to judge its characters development, the first episode of the series manages to deliver its plot with a satisfactory ending, while still retaining the crucial cliffhanger hook. Batman fans will find a satisfying 2-hour long interactive comic experience.

Furi is a fine example of intelligent game design, which brings back the "skill" factor, contrary to the today's hand-holding games. Furi requires your full attention in order to watch the end credits and for sure you will not regret the ride.

As you journey down the Echo, the ancestral darkness of River Lethe, you remember. Kentucky Route Zero has now transcended the video game medium and has become an incredibly strong argument for video games as a pure art form.

This Is The Police is a gritty, uncompromising narrative about the dark depths of obsession that drive a man and his demons. Fiercely addictive, the tale of one’s man final bid for redemption in a city spiraling out of control is this summer’s surprise indie breakout hit.

I Am Setsuna is a likeable JRPG, which can be compared to the tribute acts. They can seamlessly play the classic compositions of the band they love, but they are never as good as the originals.

Even though it’s the first attempt of Blyts in adventure games, with limited budget available, this game gave me around 4.5 hours of fun that I would gladly repeat. At the same time it makes me wonder what else this indie Argentinian company can offer us in the future.

If you are a fan of the Match-3 puzzle game genre and you're looking for a meaty title that offers 40+ hours of fun, Tumblestone is a good choice.

DreamBreak is a reasonably priced little gem and a must-buy proposal. It's really hard to rate a game like this when the duration of the whole action is so short. With a longer gameplay of 3 or 4 hours it would be a classic.

UNILE offers a solid combat system and exciting gameplay mechanics, but some technical issues on the online mode should be fixed in order to keep gamers on playing it.

If you are thirsty for an interesting Metroidvania game, Song of the Deep is a good choice, which will keep you busy for at least seven to eight hours. It does not fit to the "elite" category, but it is a fair proposal, undoubtedly worth the asking price.

If Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” were converted to video game format, Inside would be it. A short playtime does not detract from the expertly-crafted puzzles that always reward careful observation and never overstay their welcome.

Full of the ghosts of “the game that could have been”, The Technomancer’s solid combat mechanics and well thought out character classes cannot mask the absolutely terrible voice acting and presentation of the story. Through it’s 30 plus hour campaign it is fairly impossible that you will care about any of the characters you come across. Extensive backtracking and enemy respawning will test a potential player’s goodwill to it’s limits.

It certainly has some elements that can be preserved intact for future versions of the MotoGP franchise, which undoubtedly must pay bigger attention to the realism and simulation factor. Nevertheless, I think Valentino Rossi himself must be quite happy with the overall result of the game.

Mighty No. 9 is not a tragedy of a game. It plays mainly as a nostalgia act of an old era, ignoring ostentatiously the more advanced gameplay mechanisms of the modern action/platform games. If you know what to expect, you will not have a bad time. Otherwise, it would be better to stay away.

Hearts of Iron IV is a no-nonsense strategy game. Its steep learning curve will challenge you from the start, but will reward you with one of the most satisfying experiences in the genre. Invest on it and prepare for a lot of sleepless nights.

Goodbyes are heartless. Can there ever be a “satisfactory” ending to The Longest Journey/Dreamfall? Seventeen years on the infinite roads come to a head. This is no ordinary game and as such, cannot have an ordinary ending. This one was made for the Dreamers, down to every last vignette and detail.

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.

Definitely not a bad game. It’s just that it takes a potentially dangerous route, far away from the franchise’s roots, trying to appeal to a wider audience. Inevitably it’s flirting with the more mainstream category, which may lead it to be lost in the pile of that overloaded market and at the same time disappoint the loyal fans of Sherlock Holmes games.

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.

Scrap Garden is a very charming and relaxing 3D platform game to spend an afternoon or two and its simplistic gameplay and low difficulty make it a decent point of entry for children or beginners to the genre. With its main drawbacks being little duration and lack of sufficient adrenaline inducing set pieces, I would be hard pressed to recommend it for a full price.

We really hope and wish that Demetrios will bring COWCAT and Fabrice Breton the money needed to proceed with the creation of the next game, mostly in order to see if the talented French has something better and more imaginative to offer us in terms of script and overall story. All the other elements of Demetrios leave no doubt that through it a highly capable and ambitious developer was successfully introduced to all of us.

By far the largest, most rife with opportunities map Io Interactive has presented in Hitman's current incarnation. Impressive, living crowds and high difficulty aiming at franchise veterans make this the strongest episode yet and a terrific indicator of things to come.

Homefront: The Revolution "borrows" successfully some proven worthy ideas, it has good implementation in some things, in others not and all of them combined create a perfect ... mediocrity. Just like its predecessor.

A typical action adventure game with an interesting crafting system. Although it doesn't have big designing mistakes, the game fails to be interesting enough and something we would remember for a long time.

A living, breathing, Cezanne that will not hesitate to cover itself in blood, wink bitterly at you as it runs deeper down the rabbit hole and whose propensity to stun, mesmerize and redefine everything you thought you knew about the concept of “expansion packs”, will have a lasting impact upon the video game industry. Unforgettable.

Stellaris is currently rushed and rough around the edges, but has the makings of a great 4X epic.

The difference between a seminal and successful game and a game that ended up in no man's land between genres, is player attraction and retention. By marrying MOBA with FPS, Battleborn attempts to tap on both audiences yet it runs the danger to prove itself too much of a shooter for the MOBA diehards and too much of a MOBA for the FPS crowd.

It might not really be the “Multiplayer Shooter to end all Multiplayer Shooters” (not quite yet, anyway), but Blizzard’s Overwatch masterfully manages to find the sweet spot between accessibility, class balance, competitive multiplayer and pure, unadulterated fun.

Tindalos Interactive’s capital ship combat RTS provides a mix of deep, tactical gameplay and epic Warhammer 40K atmosphere. It misses on a “classic” status because of repetition in mission types and maps during the game’s lengthy campaign but it is still highly recommended for fans of the genre.

Salt and Sanctuary is a wonderful and honest tribute to Souls series. With great mechanics, a well designed dark world and dozens of hours of fun is a great game for every Dark Souls player.

The fantasy setting of Warhammer provides the perfect canvas for the mass-scale battles of the Total War series. While very approachable to potential new players, it will appease the demands of seasoned veterans. Creative Assembly has managed to capture the essence of Warhammer and transfers its epic feel in their best iteration of the Total War series, yet. All this has been delivered in a stellar performance-optimized package. It's a title which should not be missed.

One of the most "difficult" and indigestible adventure games I have ever come in contact with. Due to its appearance I was prepared for a totally different experience, however, it proved that it hid very heavy contents inside, trying to cope with numerous extremely important issues of human sexuality in just a few hours time. That’s its major problem that eventually marks its biggest weakness.

Doom is hands-down one of the best FPS in years. Obviously, it will bring no revolution, as its grandfathers did 20+ years ago, but it doesn't blush with shame carrying such a grandiose title and it is surely a worthy heir of the series.

UnderDread falls victim of its humble origins as well as the negative price/duration ratio. Unfortunately the competition in the PC platform is relentless, with hordes of indie titles inundating digital stores on a weekly basis.

Project CARS GOTY, simply put, is a good racing game that just became even better: Plenty of cars and tracks to choose from, compelling and realistic gameplay, plus it looks drop dead gorgeous. If anyone was waiting for a time to jump on the Project CARS train, now is the time.

Pang Adventures is a particularly positive surprise. It still is a simplistic game on its core, but it’s embellished with lots of new elements. Definitely one of the best games DotEmu has offered us. Priced at €8.99 it’s worth even a full price purchase.

Kathy Rain is a really exciting point 'n' click adventure that every fan of eerie and dark adventures should play, even if it is hard for some to swallow the pill of the AGS engine.

In theory this game should appeal to everybody, causing emotion, but falls short on that. The reason why it fails to stand out is that it gives a sense of haste in completing and offers very fragmentary moments of the life of Will, with superficial and one-sided coverage of events that shaped the character and marked the soul of the deceased protagonist.

A clever idea that has you managing a pro gamer or a pro gaming team. Unfortunately, everything in the game is completely random so any notion of strategy quickly disappears and the game becomes monotonous and repetitive.

If you love 60’s rock and roll culture, Wailing Heights’ wicked funny script will have you in stitches despite some obvious rough budget edges in production. There’s a fierce soul kicking in this one and the gorgeous artwork and inspired, wacky soundtrack more than make up for its mechanical shortcomings.

The stunning graphics and the exceptional music, as well as voice overs, are not enough for a game that lacks appropriate optimization and a satisfactory interpretation of the events we tail after, packed in no longer than 5 hours. A very promising narrative experience that proves inadequate in many key areas.

Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan is a rough-gem: although a little unpolished, it leaves a rare sense of a unique game, while it reflects to the player all the passion of its creators for it.

Rival Games launched an ambitious course with the first episode of “The Detail”, continued even better with the second and somewhere there apparently lost its orientation and came to deliver us a third and final episode which is weaker compared to its predecessors and unfortunately fails to rise to the occasion.

A remarkable game that has many things to offer for 20+ hours and some optional stuff which remains interesting past that mark. A few tweaks in balancing and randomizing effects would vastly improve it. Even though it can’t compete with The Binding of Isaac in terms of pure addiction and content, it’s adequately competent as far as action roguelike games go.

A pleasant, imaginative, original and fair –regarding the amount of money it targeted on Kickstarter- adventure game. It doesn’t last long, but features a rich and vivid world, accompanied by excellent voice overs and harmonious music orchestration.

A strong and marked improvement over The Showstopper, Sapienza begins to irrefutably prove Io Interactive’s vision for its episodic release model of the latest incarnation of Hitman. Offering an absolute wealth of possibilities, Sapienza is made to be replayed time and again in order to discover every single one of the creative and imaginative murder methods available.

The strongest episode in a mini-series that feels much like Fear The Walking Dead. It will tide over hardcore fans but ultimately, despite its top notch production values, it fails to create the palpable tension and soul-clenching misery that is the franchise’s hallmark.

Another silver-ball homerun for Zen Studios, Aliens vs. Pinball perfectly captures and translates the deep-space horror of the Aliens universe into a riveting pinball adventure. A must for pinball and Aliens universe enthusiasts alike.

Unorthodox, intoxicating fun from a time when everything seemed to be simpler, easier and full of beautiful danger. It may not be the Lost Holy Grail of 90’s point-and-click adventure gamers, but Red Comrades is a true cult gem, sparkling with irreverent humor and deranged puzzles. Given its low price point, it’s very easy to recommend to genre fans looking for something off the beaten path.

The epic story of the banner comes again to touch our sensitive inner self. The second chapter of the saga is full of pain, grief, anxiety, courage and heroism. Lets sit by the fire and sing again songs about heroic deeds, forgotten gods and the loved ones who were lost along the way. The Banner Saga 2 is all about feelings.

A perfect example of how one studio can improve a game, based on the players’ remarks, without ruining anything of the elements that worked well on its previous versions. MXGP2 is possibly the best motocross videogame today.

Via this new expansion pack, Baldur's Gate awakens after many years in hibernation. Even though it will not prove so sensational in the current era of kickstarted RPGs, it still succeeds in finding its place among contemporary epics, such as Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: Original Sin. Siege of Dragonspear may be a bit late to the party and not flawless, nonetheless it's a faithful installment in the series.

A true old school platformer with a lot of trial and error and many "cheap" deaths. Gamers who have the patience to deal with this will enjoy the story and some moments of good level designing.

Stories: The Path of Destinies is a charming "choose-your-own-adventure" action game, with a handful of RPG elements and an interesting narration method that will keep you on your toes in order to explore its vibrant world.

Quantum Break delivers a naïve but well-meaning sci-fi yarn aimed at the adolescent crowd, coupled with solid, even if ultimately unimpressive shooting mechanics and action set-pieces. Atrocious PC port aside, Quantum Break, if thoroughly patched and developed post launch, can find it’s niche as a sci-fi guilty pleasure, but it does not live up to Remedy’s lofty heritage.

Outer Rim offers some new variation in strategies to Battlefront, with the new cards and guns. However, the few levels which are added add little to a still lacking content, while the matchmaking problems and unorthodox UI menus persist.

Dark Souls 3 completes the epic trilogy in the best way possible. It manages to be fresh and simultaneously so familiar. So, embrace the darkness and when you emerge victorious you can proudly shout to the heavens: Praise the Sun!

More intensely personal than any interactive movie you’ve played in years, Black Friday fearlessly explores one of the least visited pages of 20th century history. The first time you held a rock in your hand, it changed you forever. This is emotional, personal storytelling at it’s finest. Even better, it makes a bold statement about the fact that there is world history outside the sphere of Western propaganda.

Although Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak doesn’t reinvent the wheel, there is no denying that it is a superb example of how modern Real Time Strategy games should look, feel and play. Accessible, intense and hauntingly beautiful at times, it manages to present a gripping tale of agony and desperation through one of the best single player campaigns the genre has ever witnessed.

The first out of three single-player mission DLCs for Starcraft 2 provides a promising story which may be an improvement on Blizzard’s recent stale storytelling.The duration of this pack is somewhat short for its price, but the production values are still top notch. If you want a little bit more of single-player fun on SC2, you may want to give it a try.

Essentially an hour-long QTE, offering up the guilty pleasure of slaughtering everything with reckless abandon as the bad-ass, post apocalyptic force of nature that is Michonne. A far shot from what made the original series unforgettable though.

A worthwhile effort, much better than the last NFS attempts and it contains the essence of the good old NFS: Underground. However, some flaws in the design hamper it from advancing to the next level.

It’s more than obvious that OKAM Studio tries to get in touch with the adventure games’ genre. There’s a lot of creative talent, plenty of ideas and storytelling ability. These elements combined with more difficult and challenging puzzles, increased interactivity with the environment and longer duration would result in a much better game.

It includes a huge roster and many gaming modes, such as the hours of joy it delivers are. The unprecedented depth of gameplay and the polished appearance, almost to the last detail, make me wonder what else could a fanatic WWE fan ask for.

Although We Are the Dwarves had an amazing potential with a great concept and interesting mechanics, its technical oversights and gimmicky difficulty force the game to miss its mark.

Blazblue: ChronoPhantasma Extend is an exquisite fighting game, complete in every aspect, very addictive, challenging and fun. Definitely a recommendation for fans of the genre.

This time Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions did exactly what needed to be done. They carefully improved and modernized the visual and sound aspects, as well as the interface, of an exceptionally well-designed game, left its other elements untouched, just like they should do, and successfully gave a new breath of life to this beloved adventure game.

A surprise reprisal of the elegantly wasted, gripping noir thriller starring the “Untouchable” Eliot Ness, broadens it’s dramatic ambition and offers one of the finest, grittiest interactive movie experiences available on the PC right now. For fans of dark crime fiction, this is an absolute must play.

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.

2.99€ is a minimum amount to keep you entertained for an afternoon. The presentation and the technical problems are a major drawback, but there are some great ideas. There at Spider Key Games... take advantage of it.

Better late than DEAD is a survival adventure, taking place in an original and initially interesting tropical backdrop. However, technical issues, limited content and an almost lifeless virtual world mar the overall impression soon enough.

The Division provides a solid experience, with its solid, yet not revolutionary, gameplay mechanics. What makes the game special is the depiction of a modern, post-apocalyptic New York, which provides a satisfactory exploration experience. Overall, a job well done by Ubi.

Brutal, uncompromising and deeply unsettling in it’s portrayal of the scariest monster of them all: “Good People” doing what they deem best for “society’s progress”. Feels like an interactive VR art installation depicting a horror that must not be forgotten. Cannot be rightly called a “game” and is impossible to forget once experienced.

It won’t mesmerize people who did not like its predecessors. It may even not satisfy all those who enjoyed the previous three Deponia games. Essentially it’s a love letter to the sworn followers of the saga, who won’t refuse to participate in yet another adventure of Rufus.

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.

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.

GoW: Ultimate Edition, as a remastered game, is one of the best we have ever seen. As a PC game, it is not the end of the world, but both the limitations of Windows Store and the obvious optimization issues are taking it away from the "must-buy" list.

Superhot is a unique game, with extraordinary and exciting gameplay mechanisms, which mildly falls short due to its two-hour long campaign.

The Flame in the Flood is a challenging survival game, full of risks and choices accompanied by an excellent soundtrack and beautiful artwork.

Whilst the expected Telltale polish is ever-present in this short episode, Michonne’s indestructability coupled with the fact that we don’t really get to care about any of the new characters appearing, make this offering something aimed strictly at the Walking Dead’s hardcore fan base.

Californium is a pitch perfect visualization of the death rattle of the hippie dream, a glimpse into worlds locked behind the liquid dreams of acid. It is also suffers from design and pacing flaws that take away from the overall experience and limit its audience.

The Following is the definition of a true expansion with rich content and more gameplay from the core game Dying Light. The buggy is also an important addition with great fun-factor.

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.

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.

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.

With its expressive character and amazing environment depictions, Unravel excels in sending the player through a cascade of positive emotions. From its narrative to its core technical elements the game can only be described as art at its purest form. The perfection of simplicity.

The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything may at times be too pleased with its eviscerating critique of Western civilization but this does not change the fact that this short, albeit inspired adventure game packs essential truths of life in its two hours. Ideal drinking companion for malcontents, loners and assorted Enemies of the Majority.

In addition to concluding the White March storyline in a suitably epic fashion, Part 2 also marks the ending of the first leg of the beautiful journey we undertook back in September 2012 when the Pillars of Eternity Kickstarter campaign was launched. Here’s to hoping that the journey continues soon with Pillars of Eternity 2.

AC Chronicles: Russia is the weakest entry of the Chronicles series and surely the most rushed one. Too bad for the nicely done gloomy visuals.

A worthy successor to XCOM: Enemy Unknown and a sublime turn-based strategy game in its own right, XCOM 2 has some technical issues but despite those it is still a strong contender for game of the year on PC.
