Aaru's Awakening is a fiendishly hard game that harkens back to an era where side scrolling games were made for patient and persistent gamers. Fans of the genre will appreciate the nostalgia trip but it's possible that some of them will be put off from its high difficulty and unforgiving gameplay. If you think you' re up to the challenge, then you should check it out, especially at a discount.

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.

Even though Ary and the Secret of Seasons may not be the best action nor the best adventure game out there, it is unique in the way you decide how to change the environment around you.

Even though the areas feel somewhat detached from one another and the story doesn't advance as much as we'd like, Episode 3 is on par with the previous parts and leaves us craving for more.

A collection that is primarily based on the player's nostalgic mood, offering twelve classic games and a decent online mode. It is a nice recap for newcomers too, although it will not, perhaps, keep them occupied for too long.

Better than last year's version, but only just. Football Manager 2015 sports the usual array of interface, AI and match engine improvements but on a smaller scale than we are used to. As such this year's edition of the definitive football management sim is not the absolute must-buy that it usually is, but it is undoubtedly better than FM 2014 and it will provide hundreds of hours of gameplay to football and gaming fans worldwide.

An honest and relatively successful effort at replicating the Dark Souls formula in a sci-fi setting.

Tails of Iron II: Whiskers of Winter retains its strong suites (impeccable presentation, satisfying combat) from its predecessor, but the simplistic quest design and, especially, the rote exploration have room for improvement and are holding it back from reaching its true potential.

If you are looking for a co-op action/puzzle game and you are not interested in spectacular graphics or impressive soundtracks, then Space Farmers will satisfy you completely. It is simple, fast, hard, addictive, somewhat repetitive but entertaining and it is recommended for some short spurts with your best buddy or your worst enemy.

NBA Playgrounds is a refreshing title that provides a full arcade basketball experience. Many basketball fans will be satisfied with its massive roster and hundreds of dunks and moves, although some gameplay mechanics need re-balancing.

A solid action-RPG with a thought-provoking story and fun combat that is held back by repetitive quests and some dated gameplay elements. It is well worth a playthrough but only the most devoted will have the stamina to replay it multiple times to get the full story.

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.

Evil West is an old-school action game, conspicuously "brainless", but equally entertaining, suitable for fans of the genre.

Despite its drawbacks, Shadowgate manages to maintain the aura and evocative atmosphere of the original game. The old-school style of the game is more than obvious and will be appreciated mostly by the fans of the series.

Risen 3: Titan Lords is a traditional Piranha Bytes game with everything that the definition entails. Fans of the company know all too well that it is more than capable of creating engaging, engrossing RPGs and Risen 3 is no exception. However, the series' trademark idiosyncrasies are still there and that means that Risen 3: Titan Lords is, as is often the case with Piranha Bytes games, a "love it or hate it" affair.

Steel Assault is one of the cases that I would compare to a good cup of coffee. Enjoyable while it lasts, but something you'll probably forget after a few days. The wide gap between difficulties and the lack of variety in its action set pieces diminish its replayability and lasting appeal.

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.

Inexplicably not created in UbiArt framework, China offers a quality stealth platforming experience that Assassin's Creed fans will enjoy, but will ultimately remain in the genre's high water mark's (Mark of the Ninja) shadow.

Even though its writing comes off mostly as a well-meaning but adolescently naïve and anime inspired take on the bleak cyberpunk dystopia towards which we are invariably headed, The Red Strings Club piques the player’s interest by constantly throwing a new gameplay mechanic at them, with its social engineering mini-game presenting a rewarding challenge that all cyberpunk enthusiasts will relish.

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.

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.

A heartfelt, if not groundbreaking tribute to the King’s Quest games of yore, The Order Of The Thorne successfully honors its inspirations but has yet to prove if it can firmly stand on its own as a solid adventure game proposition of our times.

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.

Escape Dead Island is a solid c-reel splatter movie, offering simple yet satisfying stealth and combat, along with a plethora of interesting collectibles to discover. Its main narrative and the way it presents itself is by far its greatest strength. Its cardinal sin is that it is being sold as a full price AAA title, when it is very clearly, a budget release, destined for Steam sale cult game stardom. It will entertain you, but the price needs to be right.

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.

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.

Partisans 1941 appearance in the genre of real time tactics games tries to bring us memories from the past of the genre. Even though it is composed of some fresh ideas, these are left half-finished and the result can be frustrating. But where it fails miserably is when its developers try to tear apart the connection of Nazism to the dark events of WW II.

KAPIA is a point and click adventure reminiscent of the great classics of the 00's. Although it's pretty polished it seems as a demo of something bigger and the ideas it addresses fail to develop organically. As far as puzzles are concerned, they are fairly plain and offer little challenge. Considering that it was developed by just two people, some aspects of the game like its aesthetics, animations and voice acting are very commendable.
