We scored GTA V a 10/10 upon its original release in 2013, yet this is better in every way and adds so much more to the experience that it becomes an essential purchase, whether you want to play through again of just experience something simply amazing. The original isn't all of a sudden worse, so unofficially lets give GTA V 11/10.
A masterpiece and a game that you must play, because it is that damned important.
Amazing, simply amazing. Rocket League has the perfect balance of fun and competitive gameplay and is a must for…well anyone really.
An amazing experience from start to…well not finish as I am not there yet. But I know I will love the rest of the journey, just as much as I love what I have played thus far.
Overwatch is something special at this moment of time. A game that looks at modern gaming in the face and says "Screw You!!!". It is a game that remembers what gaming is about, it is inclusive without being condescending and allows for all types of player, at any level to get in and feel like equals.
A wonderful experience from beginning to end. King's Quest is just wonderful
Simply put, if you have any interest in the Metroidvania genre, then you owe it to yourself to pick up Axiom Verge and play the hell out of it, complete it, wait for the Vita release and do so all over again.
The Escapists has us bang to rights! Lock us up and throw away the key!
OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood is more of the same, but that isn't a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination.
Helldivers isn't game that has come out of nowhere, but it is one that has fully exceeded expectations.
The best Deck Building video game around right now, as it works for veterans and casuals at the same time.
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris may sound like the latest in a set of fan fiction books for the latest teen fad, but it is if anything the better of the Tomb Raider games in the last few years.
Never Alone is a game that has gone from hardly being on the radar, to something that could quite possibly be a Game of the Year (2014) contender. Those who take a chance on this game will come away knowing they have been part of a unique experience that shows that games can be used as a serious vehicle for story telling. When we said as a community we wanted to show games can be mature… This is exactly what we meant.
State of Decay can sit proudly on top of the undead masses.
A wonderful entry into the first person puzzle solving genre and whilst other games do individual elements better, Pneuma nails it as a package.
An amazing story based on actual events. KHOLAT is a standout game in a genre that often fails to deliver.
A stunning title, with character and excellent game mechanics.
Taking it's cues from classics of the past and adding a B-Movie style over the top, Roundabout hits all the right notes.
The spiritual successor to Hydro Thunder Hurricane and the best £5 you will spend in 2015.
The best city building game since the heydays of the 90's when SimCity ruled supreme.
