If you're new to the series or looking to jump in, you could well be playing this until Gearbox release Borderlands 3.
The extreme highs carry Ori and the Blind Forest through to greatness if not quite flawlessness. Rarely is a game able to be so devilish in its gameplay yet so touching in its story.
Had White Night been more of a ride, dragging you through rather than slowing things down, its subtly unsettling tone and at times nerve-shredding moments would have had a much greater impact.
As a downloadable £15 game some of Screamride's issues could have been easily overlooked, but at double that price it's a harder ride to sell.
Newcomers will find a lot to enjoy, but there's little reason to return if a dive into Hell is what you were looking forward to.
LBP3 reaches new highs for the series by delivering some of the best levels and gameplay yet seen, but also disappoints with a fleeting campaign.
LEGO Batman 3 starts slow and then gets a lot better, and then overwhelms with so much content it's hard to be disappointed.
Shadow Warrior is old-school in all the right ways, bringing the original into the modern era while leaving some of its less desirable aspects in the past where they belong.

Hyrule Warriors is fun, pays decent fan service, and uses the Dynasty Warriors template well.
It'd be nice to see an entry focused entirely on Sony's latest console, but for now this is yet another supremely playable shmup title with oodles of replay value and a twist of originality.
Console gamers will see big improvements in Redux compared to the originals, making this one of the best remakes we've seen.
Those wanting to get away from Tiger Woods' gimmicks will enjoy this, but it's merely functional.
