Sep 27, 2012

Even though it feels familiar, the great dialogue and improved enemy variety make this sequel feel fresh enough to entice fans of the original and newcomers alike.

Mar 2, 2014

A polished and enjoyable but somewhat aimless survival focused city-builder that slowly loses its appeal once you figure out how to survive the initial starting-up period.

May 18, 2014

Another big, deep, engrossing action RPG in the Souls series that is more polished but ultimately weaker due to a fractured world, lack of direction, uneven difficulty and uninspired boss fights.

While Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a competently made game, its British personality and enemies aren't enough to save it from bland environments, ugly visuals and an overabundance of food and weaponry.

Divinity: Original Sin is a detailed and engrossing RPG with great combat and a healthy dose of charm, but the weak central narrative, goofy tone and myriad moments where you don't know what to do or where to go greatly mar the experience.

The biggest and most refined entry in the series, Risen 3 offers up a large helping of quality RPG content that will keep you playing even in the face of an underwhelming main storyline and a couple half-baked mechanics.

Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault has some good ideas and atmospheric levels but the ludicrous asking price, lack of difficulty balancing and problematic AI leave this expansion out in the cold.

70 / 100 - Grey Goo
Feb 9, 2015

Despite some frustrating missions and problematic Goo faction, this is one of the strongest traditional RTS games to have released in some time and will surely satisfy those looking for a nostalgic CnC-like experience.

Total War: Attila signals a remarkable return to form for the Total War series, with relatively few but well thought out additions, and some much needed tweaks to existing mechanics that allow them to come to life.

The Witcher 3 is an incredible achievement by CD Projekt Red, with a huge world to explore, seemingly endless hand-crafted quests and a central story that holds the experience together marvelously.

74 / 100 - Rocket League
Jul 29, 2015

Rocket League represents a simple idea well executed, forgoing variables like powerups and dramatically different vehicles or maps in favour of balance and tight mechanics.

63 / 100 - Kyn
Aug 20, 2015

Kyn is a well-conceived, albeit slightly broken, party-based Action RPG that succeeds in creating interesting mission scenarios but struggles at character building and consistently enjoyable combat.

The Brits are another great addition to the Company of Heroes 2 multiplayer scene, and the community that has remained stable for the last two years should ensure a healthy lifespan going forward.

78 / 100 - Mad Max
Sep 19, 2015

Despite a lack of innovation and some repetition, Mad Max is a consistently entertaining and utterly stunning open world game that will keep you driving late into the night.

Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide shows that Left 4 Dead with an emphasis on melee and loot makes for a pretty fun co-op experience, though it would be even better without the glitches and performance dips.
