Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion falls short of being a great game and lands squarely in the land of being okay. Despite its flaws it is an enjoyable RPG that would be a great entry point to the genre for younger children who might be a little put off by the more complex systems in other games.

Lego Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey doesn’t add a new dimension onto the how Lego games work and doesn’t immediately stand out amongst the heavy hitters such as Lego Batman or Lego Star Wars, but that doesn’t make it any less of an enjoyable platformer.

The lack of improvements in key areas are a worry but FHM3 is a solid if reserved update to the franchise.

Some genuinely intriguing ideas and a great looking setting are set against some control issues and poor pacing. The game has high aspirations but falls short on the execution unfortunately. Not a bad game, but not a great one either.

Feels like it wanted to be a genre epic but had to settle for merely ‘alright’.

A brilliantly done driving simulator, but without any serious single-player campaign to go alongside the online timesink.

The handful of game modes provide limited fun in Paperbound. Created to suit a party environment, it’s the type of game you break out when friends are over for a quick brawl or two before moving on to the next game.

While I enjoyed the very short-lived remake of Panzer Dragoon, I had hoped that I would be given a few new bells and whistles to savor. However, what we have is the same classic game with improved graphics and controls. This will please purists massively but for me, the game is a bit too basic and short by today's standards. It is still fun though, and sometimes that is what matters most.

Fuse is so poor by Insomniac’s usually high standards that it’s hard to believe Insomniac actually made it.

By far and away the worst part of Murdered: Soul Suspect is the completely unnecessary quasi-combat that is littered throughout the game.

Outside of the combat the game fails to impress in any way and often frustration at the user interface, the loading times or the embarrassingly jerky cutscenes drive the player away.

The narrative is delightfully disturbing, but Masochisia needed more meat to its gameplay.

Either way it’s worth venturing in – just don’t expect a tale for the ages.

While not as genre-bending as perhaps one might expect a video game portrayed as a interactive theatre show to be, Knee Deep does provide an entertaining, if rather silly, distraction while it lasts.

When compared with its inspiration, LIMBO, it falls drastically which makes recommending it difficult - especially given its current, buggy, state.

Still, it’s decent fun whilst it lasts.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint feels disconnected, lacking real purpose or direction. It still has a ways to go until it can stand alongside the other Live Service giants of the industry, but there are glimpses of quality to build upon.

A beautifully realised and often harrowing cyberpunk tale let down by repetition and gameplay which is both simple and frustrating in equal measure.

Nevertheless, for anyone who enjoyed the first game Mugen Souls Z is more of the same, slightly refined and smartened up. For those accustomed to big-budget JRPGs – Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xillia – it definitely looks like a budget title and will underwhelm.

Sniper Elite III continues to evolve the series and it’s evident that Rebellion have attempted to open up the franchise, offering more freedom. Unfortunately this comes at the cost of a pure sniping experience – something most will be looking for, given the title.

The atmosphere and mystery the developers were going for has been perfectly captured but the execution feels too haphazard. This most recent chapters feels almost like a throwaway after the ambition set forth at the beginning.

It is because of the more interesting innovations, and promisingly atmospheric ghost stories, that Perception's issues render it so disappointing. After its initial scares and exciting concept, it all begins to fall flat. The big reveal for how the stories were all connected felt muddled and underwhelming. The game seems to sacrifice vital narrative development in favour of inconsistent and misplaced atmosphere building. With as much thought put into the execution, as was clearly put into its concept, this game may have been something special, instead it haunts the realm of mediocre.

Proven design principles make Aces of the Luftwaffe: Squadron easy to pick up for first timers and friends roped into multiplayer, but those experienced with scrolling shooters wont find anything new to hold their attention.

A good port but Railway Empire isn't quite the Railroad Tycoon replacement we'd like.

It could be said that MotoGP 13 feels like a cheap downloadable game wrapped in the glittery shell of licensing to sell as AAA, which is all too often the case in gaming, and in some ways this is accurate. However the extreme attention to detail and the strangely paced yet enjoyable career mode up this game above some of the more pedestrian licensed games in the world. It is a game clearly made for motorcycle enthusiasts and for these people it just about does the job.

Little Friends: Dogs & Cats is a great virtual pet simulator for children but I feel sadly it doesn't cater for much more than that. It's adorable and there's nothing better than some doggo's in a game but my play-time felt shortened by some of the restrictions. It has a lot of potential but with no real originality I just felt something was missing whilst I was playing it.

Flockers is a decent game and although it doesn’t do anything new its gameplay is mostly enjoyable, with a few frustrating parts here and there.

A short, sharp, back-to-basics roguelike which will amuse for a couple of hours.
