Coflicks has most of its eggs in a row, delivering a methodical real-time strategy experience that immerses you into space and chicken politics.
Halo 5's narrative is going to leave the community split, but the multiplayer will unite those who have been longing for something this tight since the days of the original trilogy.
Despite the lack-luster story of the Fryes' rise, Assassin's Creed Unity bolsters the ideas of last year with some new, worthwhile additions keeping the franchise fight-ready.
Vault of the Traveler brings a proper close to the first Tales From the Borderlands season, and should signal the end of Telltale's failing game engine.
Life is Strange went out with its emotional core beating strongly despite some of the same old gripes of the series lingering.
Even though Adventures of Pip has far too few new ideas, the skeletal system we've played in other games still holds up under a new coat of pixels.
Assault Android Cactus has all the personality and variety of a twin-stick classic, but lets the focus fall too heavily on a single, ever-draining battery bar to match that promise.
Simply put, there is no better stealth-action gameplay system than the one within The Phantom Pain, and no better game as of yet in 2015.
Without much time, Escape Plan Bravo brings plenty of smiles and sets up grudges to be settled in the series finale.
Dark Room brings out the darkness in Arcadia Bay, but fails to continue one of the best parts of Life is Strange.
The story may be a bit of a let down but the core turn based strategy gameplay is a ton of fun.
New Sony adopters can hail as an indie champion has come to PlayStation 4 while returning Nomads can appreciate the upgraded visual splendor.
While this episode is certainly worth the effort, chugging through buggy sections with long loading screens puts the grinding brake pads to a lot of series enthusiasm.
Zer0 Sum tells the best story and introduces the best characters in the Borderlands series. As a Telltale game, the humor tends to fall a bit flat at times, and it lacks the drama Telltale do so well.
There's not a single area in which Transistor doesn't shine beautifully. It is objectively short and very linear which many will see as a negative, but it really works to make a tight package in Transistor's case.
Outlast is scary and will make you feel fear. It doesn't do much more than that, but if horror is what you're looking for, you won't do much better than this.
Everything has been improved upon since his adventures in Super Mario 3D World. The game pad does distract from the beauty of the main screen, however it's a worthwhile tradeoff as the new abilities and level types that take advantage of it are a joy to use, it's just a shame about the inability to turn off gyroscopic camera controls for those that don't use them. Regardless, Captain Toad's first solo outing is as golden as the treasure he tracks.
Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby don't break the mold, but as remakes they improve the experience in every way.
If you've enjoyed "Destiny" and are looking for more of what you've already enjoyed, then this will scratch your itch, though not very efficiently. But if you're looking for something new and interesting in the world of "Destiny," give this a pass.
Valkyria Chronicles' engrossing story with beautiful art style and unique gameplay makes this title easy to recommend. Just be prepared for a challenge.
