An honest, heart-on-its-sleeve tribute to the Quest for Glory games of yore. It does not reinvent the wheel, nor does it aspire to. A pleasantly nostalgic return to gaming's most romantic era.

At first glance, ATOM might play out like the "Russian Fallout" it appears to be gameplay-wise, but its many layers contain so much more than just a tribute. Fans of old-school RPGs (as well as Soviet nostalgists) will certainly enjoy every single hour (and Ruble) they spend on it.

Sengoku period aficionados will cherish the game, dedicating several hours trying to control Edo. Simple fans of strategy will also like it, but its limited scope might keep them engaged for a shorter period. In any case, Nobunaga's Ambition - Sphere of Influence is a remarkable effort, worthy of its pedigree.

Tech Support: Error Unknown features a mix of Papers Please! gameplay mechanics and Orwell gameplay and mechanics. It does not innovate but it manages to convey the angst of working as IT support, especially for an evil mega-corp.

Decent story and a well-crafted plot, but plagued by many bugs and glitches, with some polish, Beyond A Steel Sky could be a much superior experience.

Verdun is a game for all those WWI aficionados out there, or for fans of historic FPS that for whatever reason are not covered by Red Orchestra 2. For the rest, there are better options available.

More than the sum of its parts. Dark. A favorite forgotten bedtime story from Hell. Beautiful in the intricacy of it's world. The single greatest indie adventure game surprise of 2015.

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.

Blackwood Crossing was created with a lot of passion and love, both for storytelling and for creating a magical 3D world. It falls short on providing meaningful player participation, depriving a video game of a most vital aspect, gameplay.

Halo Wars 2 is a decent title for newcomers to the RTS genre, who will be the ones that will mostly enjoy the game, especially in the innovative and fast-paced Blitz mode.

In a bold move, Team Meat has stirred the successful recipe of Super Meat Boy and has delivered a runner-type game in its sequel; SMBF. The procedural level generation algorithm seems to work wonders and the new art-style is modernizes the game. Very interesting ideas in the gameplay mechanics, and increased difficulty promise to keep you engaged for as long as you want to hone your skills. It never ends.

The lack of any real upgrades to its visuals or gameplay unfortunately make Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning the same soup, just reheated. At least the overall experience is still the same as in the original release back in 2012.

Road Redemption's flaws seem irrelevant next to the raw amusement it offers. From its rogue-like campaign to its online or split-screen multiplayer, it is an incredibly successful spiritual successor to Road Rash and a worthy remastering of that carefree 90s Arcade gameplay.

Despite its problems with teammate AI, unfair difficulty spikes and the lack of online co-op, Mother Russia Bleeds is a worthy representative of the "retro" beat' em ups. The fast and addictive gameplay, the robust sense of blows and the deep combat system will delight the fans of the genre.

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.

An interesting premise with some really good ideas in an exceptionally deep and well-designed world, which ultimately feels lacking both as an adventure/RPG and as a “Disco Clone”.

A brilliantly climactic finale that also sees Telltale taking a bold step forward in terms of gameplay by offering a substantially different playing experience dependent on player choice. If this is a foreshadowing of things to come, Telltale is bound to remain firmly upon the interactive movie throne.

Pathologic 2 is a weird and unique experience, besmeared by some optimization and balance issues. Its narrative, story, and atmosphere are suffocating under the weight of its mechanics and I'm pretty sure that heavy reliance on meta-gaming to avoid hitting a roadblock wasn't something its creators intended.

If you are keen of testing your patience and push the boundaries of your reflexes, Shadow Blade: Reload is a great choice. However, if chasing high-scores is not your thing, then the game has a few things to offer.

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.

A fun and absolutely gorgeous co-op FPS with a rather lackluster story and single-player mode. Nevertheless, a solid choice for anyone looking for some quality co-op action.

A worthy sequel to Deliver Us The Moon and a genuinely atmospheric experience. Some technical problems are not enough to tarnish the very positive overall impression.

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.

A delightfully tongue in cheek death cult simulator, whose excellent aesthetics stumble over a very high randomness factor. Each new game relies more on blind luck than strategy in its early stages, painfully taking you out of the “Our Fish Lord Cometh” fantasy and reminding you of the underlying mechanical structure. Still, quite a refreshing “shot” in between more demanding games.

Essentially a board game with deeper game mechanics and an enjoyable plot, Here Be Dragons is sure to pose a serious challenge to those who will make the mistake of underestimating its difficulty.

Microsoft delivered a solid remake of a classic old title. Nostalgic for the old ones and a great history lesson for the newer, this is exactly what gamers need while waiting for Age of Empires IV. Legends never die...

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.

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.
