Assassin's Creed: Shadows does not reinvent the wheel, nor is it the landmark game that will redefine gaming. Nevertheless, it's a worthy and well-crafted Assassin's Creed title that will certainly satisfy fans of the series, probably win over some who had left it some years ago, but will hardly convince its detractors to bother with it.

A strong sequel and a quality addition to the open world action genre.

In Ion Fury there are no fancy cutscenes and QTEs, health regeneration or skill trees, just good, old, balls-to-the-wall action. If you have enjoyed games such as Duke Nukem 3D, Blood or Shadow Warrior, then you'll have a blast with this game too.

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.

Blazing Chrome is a great game for its kind, as it could easily be declared as a sequel of Contra, without anyone being misunderstood. If you want to test your skills on a hard-boiled old school run 'n' gun game, you will not find anything better than this one.

A beautifully morbid adventure game that imposes its own mechanics of time management on the player's reality, causing either introspection or frustration. Ironically launched in a period where time is plenty and fruitful introspection is sorely needed.

The folks at Supermassive Games offer us a delightful choose your own adventure experience, with an 80's horror VHS backdrop. I would recommend The Quarry to both fans of interactive storytelling and people who are not well versed in survival horror games or are easily stressed by them.

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.

Sadly the final score has to be lower than originally expected, at least until the developers can fix the issues. Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition is essentially the great PC version we've been waiting for all these years, it is priced quite reasonably and, under normal conditions, I would recommend the game wholeheartedly to fans of the series and newcomers alike, but not until all the bugs have been squashed. Until then, keep your money in your pockets.

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.

A solid, heavily atmospheric adventure game that evokes the true gothic horror of Howard Philip Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. If you can get past the 4-bit uber-retro graphics presentation, you're in for a gripping ride to the dark side that you will not be forgetting any time soon.

The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk is a worthy sequel to the first game and it offers just what you would expect from a point 'n' click adventure: a wonderful fantasy world, a beautiful story to tell, funny dialogues and a lot of smart (and sometimes crazy) puzzles.

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.

Imaginative, home to a perfect 80's AOR slow-walk montage as well as the silliest tribute to Scarface's epic final scene to ever surface in a video-game, it's very hard not to fall in love with Tales from the Borderlands as it reaches its inevitable climax.

Savage, uncompromising road poetry. Every word spoken, every line of text written, every character portrayed, all painfully real. Kerouac would have been proud.

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.

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

Fury Unleashed is all about decimating your enemies as fast as possible to keep that kill counter going while avoiding getting hurt in the process. Despite some balance issues, it's an enjoyable roguelike run 'n gun game, but unfortunately it'll be over before you know it.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is another remarkable Team Ninja production, which in my opinion, shouldn't be seen as a "sequel to NiOh", but as a different "fruit". Familiar, but different, just as Sekiro was different from Dark Souls. With that correlation in mind, the game is highly recommended to fans of the genre. For the rest, there's also the demo.

A typical annual release with some additions and improvements but nothing that drastically changes the experience.

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.

It might not be the most innovative DLC as far as core gameplay elements are concerned, but the new types of hard challenges and dilemmas it offers, as well as its extremely interesting additions to the game's lore, make the Last Autumn a more than worthy addition to the Frostpunk universe.

Among the endless ocean of multiplayer twitch shooter games, it was about time we got a slow-paced, tactical FPS where team-work is everything. Well optimized, well balanced and the fact that future maps and operators aren't locked behind a pay-wall but will be accessible to all, make for great value. Here's hoping that Ubisoft will be fast enough to deploy a proper fix for its main aspect though, the netcode, before frustration kicks in.

Despite its flaws (technical or otherwise), Warlords of New York and its accompanying free Update add high-quality content that takes place in a familiar, fan-favorite location, together with a huge number of wider changes and additions to the game's core gameplay that promise to increase the quality of life for all prospective Division Agents.

Blizzard plays it safe, incorporating few innovations while trying to salvage the lore situation of Warcraft due to its constant escalation. Despite all this, BfA remains an entertaining expansion with a lot to offer in endgame for a casual player.

Druidstone draws inspiration from a variety of genres (even tabletop boardgames) and combines all those elements elegantly. Its whimsical writing and beautiful (Trine-sque) art should not fool you. This is a game which will put your tactical planning skills to the test and demand forward thinking in the development of your characters. Another spectacular result from the makers of the Legend of Grimrock series.

Rock 'n' Roll Will Never Die is an adventure worth trying at some point in your life, especially if you are a rock culture lover. It may not impress with the ingenuity of its puzzles, but its satire of rock music's cliches and misconceptions is so successful that I doubt there will be anyone in the future who does it better.

Impressive remake, not completely true to the original and with some anachronistic gameplay mechanisms, but it remains the best Mafia game of the series.
