As much fun to pick up and play as ever, but the title has barely changed year on year.
A totally unique music title that will get even the most tone-deaf gamers enjoy composing and remixing tracks.
A great way to bring a classic adventure game to a whole new audience.
The concept and writing will draw you in, while at the same time the ridiculous puzzle design pushes you away.
WWE 2K15 feels like a real step back for the series in many ways, not the generational leap forward that we hoped for.
The best version yet of an all-time classic. It's just a shame that more new content could not have been included.
Although perhaps more could have been done, Double Fine have implemented a set of changes that make a truly classic title more palatable to the modern gamer.
A sequel that definitely builds upon the promise shown in its predecessor. A great combination of fantasy adventure and comedy.
You won't play anything quite like Republique anytime soon, and its deep storyline is worth taking the time to dig into.
Tormentum: Dark Sorrow is thoroughly successful in its attempts to build a disconcerting world to play through. Its tendency towards being somewhat on the easy side doesn't detract from the experience – by having puzzles that can be figured out through logic or trial and error, OhNoo allow even the most unskilled point and click players to progress through their twisted tale.
Axiom Verge may not be much more than an homage to Metroid, but it's a very good homage.
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is a great entry point into a series that has now even spawned a Telltale Games episodic spin-off. The games included now look and play better than they ever have, and even a few performance do little to detract from that
The Quark combo system is a clever and intuitive gameplay mechanic, which is sadly let down by basic design issues.
A wealth of content to keep you busy, but you need a good group of like-minded, hardened criminals in order to make the most of it.
Lost Dimension certainly doesn’t make a great first impression.

However, there is one particularly unique gameplay mechanic that somehow manages to keep pushing you forward, eager to progress.
The gaming landscape has certainly changed since Dishonored was released in 2012, but the advent of the current generation of home consoles has done nothing to diminish its strengths. Dishonored remains an enthralling mix of first-person stealth action, supernatural special powers and a timeless painterly aesthetic. Thrust into the centre of a diabolical plot, out for revenge, Dishonored gives players the freedom to play the game their way – whether that be good or bad, lethal or non-lethal – and to see the game world shaped by your actions.
This War of Mine is strangely compelling, pulling you back day after day despite the unrelenting misery of the situations you find yourself in. Inspired by the real events of the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War in the nineteen-nineties, you know right off the bat that this is going to be a somewhat harrowing experience.
Lumo takes all of your rose-tinted memories of the isometric adventure genre and manages to faithfully re-create them – whilst making the much-needed changes that make going back to those old games so painful.

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter feels like a let-down. Crimes & Punishments was far from perfect, but it felt like clear progress – this latest effort feels like treading water at best.
