WWE 2K16 delivers the biggest roster ever in a WWE videogame, but with only one Showcase campaign, will this year's instalment deserve to be tagged in for another year?
Broforce is quite literally a blast to play. It has the humour down, the exhilarating precise combat and level design, the enemy variation, and not to mention a plethora of content to get stuck into.
The Talos Principle, is a game which may bore some to tears, but will serve others with the necessary dose of peace and tranquillity, as the combination of the eerily empty yet beautifully charming locations with the peaceful and calming soundtrack, will surely serve most with exactly what they need when taking a break from the big AAA action games of today.
Polarized is not the perfect ending that some might've hoped for but it's a very strong finale. It carries a lot of the problems the other episodes did but they are issues that feel small in the grand scheme of things. The issues addressed narratively are situations that not many games have been brave enough to explore. That's something that can be said for the game as a whole. For that alone Life is Strange deserves to be applauded.
After all the troubles following the launch of last year's Assassin's Creed: Unity, Ubisoft have ditched the multiplayer and have thrown all their eggs into the singleplayer basket with Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
It's hard to really pinpoint who will enjoy Blood Bowl 2 the most. Strategy, board game and American Football fans will all get something from it. Still, it's worth trying your hand at it even if you're not a fan of those genres. The main issue with the game is the steep learning curve and the length of the matches. If you're someone with limited time this probably isn't the game for you. If you do have the time for such a big commitment though, then you're in for a treat.
Poncho is a game based around an interesting concept, but the execution of the title is so poor and inconsistent, you spend more time respawning than actually playing
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition is an extremely intriguing and captivating game which goes above and beyond of what we have come to expect from the contemporary, mainstream RPGs. But ultimately, the inconsistencies within the game, and mindless AI can hamper the overall experience of the title
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 could've been great. It's the first 3D skateboarding game of this generation and all it really had to do was deliver an experience a bit better than the likes of Proving Ground and Project 8, just modernised to 2015. It failed to do that though, creating an experience that feels like a step backwards for the series. There's still fun to be had, especially if you can grab the game in the sales, but it's a disappointing installment you'll probably soon put to one side.
After the failings of our last Transformers outing; Rise of the Dark Spark, it was only natural for Activision to be a little low-key with this latest instalment. But while you won't find an in-depth story or gameplay, Platinum Games have brought back the fun factor with Transformers: Devastation with added nostalgia to boot.
SOMA is a game that will sit in the memory for a while despite its shortcomings. The sound design, world building and story deserve to rightfully become a footnote in videogame design. Frictional Games do so much right creating a science fiction story. It falls short at times when trying to be a more traditional horror, but the highs certainly outweigh the lows. It's an impressive console debut, and I can't wait to see what the developers create next.
Sitting at an hour and a half with little replayability, it's a struggle to recommend. I did enjoy the story, and the gameplay shows some creativity, but it has an air of lacking content and unfinished design, and at £6.99 I'm not sure it's worth it.
This is the second PES on the new gen consoles and it seems to be improving year on year, but will the addictive gameplay compensate for the lack of content as it goes head to head with its FIFA rival once more this year?
A lot of fuss was made when the price point of The Taken King was announced and despite a vibrant community, the vanilla Destiny was originally rife with issues and needed many improvements. But now Bungie has fixed most of those issues and as a result, Destiny: The Taken King is one of the most fun, fulfilling and social shooters you'll play this year and next.
It's been a long wait for the latest Metal Gear Solid instalment, but wait no more. Sadly this seems to be the last masterpiece of the beloved franchise created by Hideo Kojima; thankfully however it's going out with a bang! Or a silent "pop" if you take the stealth approach, the choice is yours.
Finally this is the Forza game that Xbox One owners have been waiting for, find it why in our review!
There's replayability in going for high scores and playing through harder difficulties, but most will play this once and probably not want to go back. When a price drop occurs and you have a craving for a 3D hack and slash adventure maybe give it a shot, but until then it's hard to recommend the game to anyone that isn't already a fan of the series.
Yes this is another HD remaster, but whether you're new or returning, this is a classic that still holds its own, even with nearly 10 years passed with its improved visuals and a whole host of new features and additions.
Hatoful Boyfriend is light hearted and definitely something designed to make you smile. It's not going to set the world on fire but it can be picked up for a small amount of money and is something that anyone can play due to its simplistic controls. Its style of humour may not be for everyone, but for those that do find the absurd hilarious it is definitely worth considering picking it up.
When it comes to immersive experiences Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is definitely one worth exploring and will leave you pondering it even after you've finished. It's a nostalgic, sci-fi mystery and is one of the finest indie games to grace the PlayStation 4 in 2015.
