The Order arrives as a short, decent game, not a console savior.
Veterans of both PvZ and Diablo are going to find that Deathtrap handles both genres in a substantial way.
Apotheon is never a bad game, and occasionally, it's even a great game, but it's never consistently great enough to become a classic in the same way other indie titles like Journey have.
This isn't a bad game, if modest in budget, but its console-based—and occasionally sexist—comedy is pretty niche, and it now finds itself going up against that most dreaded of all competition, the entire PC library of RPGs.
Telltale has created well written instalment of the Game of Thrones game that will please fans of the show, and stands on its own as a tense, dramatic tale of intrigue, politics and what families do to survive.

There is no concept too ridiculous for Volition to exploit and for people with a love of the deranged and silly, Saints Row is one of the funniest games on the market.
The Dark Below is just More Of The Same, which will be good for hardcore fans of Destiny that have accepted the game for what it is, but will be a disappointing for those that had hoped the game would change its direction.
This game was made for 12 year olds that watch the Fast & Furious movies and believe everything in them is real.

If you just want to scratch the JRPG itch while on the go, this is your game.
A fantastic and underrated game is let down by a less than stellar remaster and too high a retail price.
In many ways, the pre-sequel feels like a pleasant place-holder.
