Puyo Puyo Tetris won't make converts out of those uninterested in Puyo Puyo or Tetris . Neither has been changed substantially for their latest outing. But those who still enjoy the occasional round of either puzzle game shouldn't hesitate to add the new mash-up to their PS4 or Switch collection.
If you enjoyed the first Dragon Quest Heroes , there's little reason to believe you won't love the sequel too.
If this turns out to be the last Tekken, it's great to see the franchise go out on its shield.
If you're a longtime fan of the series, or just someone looking for a top-notch sniping experience without having to wade into competitive multiplayer, we can't think of any reason to skip out on Sniper Elite 4.
It is sandbox gaming on rails, giving players just enough freedom to deserve its genre placement without exposing them to an overwhelming array of resources and recipes. Gating some content behind the game’s narrative progression may irritate those with substantial genre experience. But the system provides a streamlined sandbox experience for those of us with less time; a design philosophy that clearly sets Dragon Quest Builders apart from the competition.
I Am Setsuna is perfect for those hoping to get their JRPG fix without sacrificing all their available free time for the next six months or anyone interested in completing a role-playing game that prioritizes enjoyability over hours played.
Horizon Zero Dawn doesn't redefine open world RPGs but it absolutely raises the bar for future additions to the genre. Few projects successfully weave all of their disparate parts together into something both unique and interesting. Guerilla managed to do both in its first non-FPS release while simultaneously incorporating many of those (still optional) parts into the core story.
Destiny: Rise Of Iron won’t make believers out of those offput by the base game’s rough edges. But it proves The Taken King wasn’t a fluke.
Battlefield 1 is the greatest addition to the franchise since Bad Company , and its lone sequel, pairing its beloved 64-player combat with an innovative new take on the single-player campaign. The stories told within can definitely be a bummer at times but it’s rare that we felt anything but positive about our time with Battlefield 1.
Without a doubt, Edge Of Nowhere is one of the best VR games currently on the market. Find out why we're so fond of Insomniac Games' first VR title and why we think some fans should hold off on a purchase until Edge Of Nowhere gets its first price cut.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of those releases the gaming community will be using as a benchmark for years to come. I just hope there's more story hidden somewhere in The Phantom Pain, or being delivered via DLC, to give the Metal Gear series the victory lap it deserves.
Dragon Quest Heroes may have its flaws. But the game proves, once again, Omega Force's third-party projects remain Must Play games for any longtime fans of the hack-and-slash genre.
Shadow Warrior 2 probably isn't going to win any Shooter of the Year awards, but that doesn't mean you should skip out on the latest offering from Flying Wild Hog either.
SteamWorld Heist snuck onto the 3DS eShop earlier this month, without much fanfare or discussion. But SteamWorld Heist might be the best tactical strategy game to grace the platform in 2015.
The game won't appeal to everyone, particularly those without the patience to slog through its repetitive missions. But a fantastic story, and a refreshingly unique approach to telling that tale, ensure Mafia 3 will have imitators for years to come.
The changes present in Just Cause 3 aren't substantial enough to win over those uninterested in the game's predecessors. But there's more than enough here for longtime fans to justify one last purchase before the end of 2015.
I see little reason why longtime fans of the franchise would be disappointed with Black Ops 3. It may not draw in many new fans, or convert those who've never been big Call of Duty fans. But there's more than enough here to keep the game's existing community locked in digital combat for another twelve months.
Batman: Arkham Knight is not a perfect game but even horrendous vehicle mechanics can't overshadow what has to be one of the best video games to debut this year.
Rocket League brings car soccer into the current generation of gaming and the latest release from Psyonix is easily one of the most fun games we've played all year.
Double Fine's new strategy game isn't likely to disappoint anyone who's been keeping tabs on Massive Chalice over the last few years.
