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.
