Dragon Age: Inquisition presents a content rich world with a whole facet of interesting and deep characters. It's a worth addition to any RPG fan's collection and a gorgeous sight to behold.

Dead or Alive 5: Last Round doesn't add enough to tempt new players while doubling down on bugs. The core fighting is as fun and frantic as ever, but it's hard to fully recommend to anyone but die-hard fans.

Resi Rev 2 is a much needed return to what makes the series so special. An intriguing story and Barry Burton are worth the asking price alone.

From Software try to right their wrongs in this next gen port of Dark Souls 2 but fail to meaningfully address the issues that many players had with Dark Souls 2.

8.5 / 10.0 - The Weaponographist
May 6, 2015

A charming and easily grasped twin-stick shooter that acts as an endearing homage to the likes of Binding of Isaac.

A hauntingly complex story full of creepy characters means that The Charnel House Trilogy is an indie title you need to keep your eye out for on PC.

7.5 / 10.0 - Sym
Jun 3, 2015

Sym straddles the subject of anxiety in a subtle and almost nuanced way, but it offers little in the way of replay value.

7 / 10.0 - 0RBITALIS
Jun 15, 2015

A frustrating, yet somehow addictive puzzler that pushes you to think your way through every step in game.

Even the best soundtrack can't save the frustratingly fidgety Spectra from its disappointing lack of leaderboards and overly sensitive controls.

7.5 / 10.0 - DiscStorm
Aug 19, 2015

DiscStorm is the spiritual successor to Windjammers in many ways, but pathetic AI and gameplay that feels unrewarding hurts the overall experience.

An engrossing Noir tale that uses colour effectively to drive home its enveloping crime drama.

Quest of Dungeons is an indie darling that does justice by the roguelike genre and makes it more accessible for Xbox One players. It's unbelievably charming cast will have you venturing and dying in the dungeons time and time again.

8 / 10.0 - Leo's Fortune
Sep 14, 2015

Some slippery controls aren't enough to hold back this gorgeous and interesting ball of fur (we think it's a ball of fur).

6 / 10.0 - Extreme Exorcism
Sep 21, 2015

As far as 2D arena bralwers go, Extreme Exorcism will never live up to Towerfall. Without any meaningful variety the experiences turns staler than a month old loaf of bread.

7 / 10.0 - Sublevel Zero
Oct 18, 2015

Sublevel Zero is an interesting approach to some of the aspects that make Roguelikes great, but even its tight controls feel sloppy in the insurmountable framerate drops.

6.5 / 10.0 - Clandestine
Nov 5, 2015

Clandestine had some intriguing aspects, especially in its unique approach to hacking, but audio bugs and poor animation really hamper the overall experience as well as characters that move like tanks.

7.5 / 10.0 - Fallout 4
Dec 17, 2015

Fallout 4 retreads far too much old ground to really justify its existence. Even the potential withing this sprawling map is not enough to entice a player enough to toy with wonky A.I. or repeat mundane tasks endlessly.

8 / 10.0 - Rebel Galaxy
Jan 19, 2016

Rebel Galaxy looks at space in a way that's rarely ever seen, with the exception of games like Elite: Dangerous, and offers a refreshing universe exploring journey. There's plenty of content to keep you occupied and it's all enjoyable, especially the dog fights.

Albedo is a love letter to the sci-fi b-movies of years gone by, warts and all. With complex puzzles and a great aesthetic there are also some genuinely awful combat mechanics and confusing user interfaces that really put a dampener on the experience.

8.5 / 10.0 - Bombshell
Jan 29, 2016

This femme fatale steps up where Duke could not. As an isometric shooter, Bombshell is fast paced, full of tongue in cheek humour, and offers a wonderfully vivid world to blow up.
