FIFA 15's EPL influence runs deeper than its new matchday presentation; it's also a faster, more attacking game.
There's no other war, or game, quite like this.
A smart, fun exploration of turn-based tactics in a fantasy setting.
Combines the best of "old" Mario games with some neat new tricks
Takes a timeless, successful formula and adds a couple of fresh new features.
The stealth genre, deconstructed and almost perfected.
You want to build cities? This game lets you build really big cities that look awesome.
A brave, stylish take on the Civilization formula.
The great Civ V experiment continues, and for the most part, it's a success.
Combines cool toys, a fun video game and a world of opportunities for creative little minds
It's a smarter, more expressive take on the old Syndicate formula.
A tiresome throwback to Wolfenstein's more forgettable days.
I'm not angry at Kingdom Come, I'm just… disappointed. It was touted as this grand historical representation, an abandonment of fantasy for a true medieval setting, a game that would let us live the middle ages. But the game we got is just this busted, inconsistently ambitious RPG that shines in points, but falls apart in most others.
2016's turn-based Golden Age continues
ADR1FT is a game torn right down the middle. It places the player in a position of imminent danger, but invites them to relax and enjoy the scenery. It gives you a fun way to jet around in 3D space, then gives you nothing to do with it but navigate corridors. It wrote and recorded an extensive backstory, but presents you little reason to care about it.
Ditching history has set this series free.
A fantastic space strategy game let down by some plodding sections.
Planet Coaster is best when treated as a giant LEGO set. A sunny, cheery tabula rasa, lying there waiting for you to go nuts in a never-ending quest to make yourself as happy as the grinning faces of the people lining up to take your rides for a spin.
It's Homeworld, but with sand, and it's the best new RTS game in years.
Firewatch is the loneliest game about human beings you might ever play.
