Every facet of 'Sunset Overdrive' is bursting with personality, and despite some faults it's still a must-play on Xbox One.
'Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel' offers more story for hardcore fans but plays like a dated clone of the older games, trading polish for gimmicks.
While 'Civilization: Beyond Earth' retains the familiar formula of its predecessor, Firaxis makes enough changes to keep it fresh.
'NBA 2K15' takes center court to deliver much of what fans love about the series but is held down by a lack of polish and continuous server issues.
'The Evil Within' has some rich and interesting imagery, but its story and gameplay are disappointingly derivative.
If the idea of Project Spark interests you, it's absolutely worth checking out.
'Alien: Isolation' evokes the atmosphere and tension of the movies, but inconsistent xenomorph AI and antiquated design turn fear into frustration.
DriveClub is easily accessibly and highly recommendable, even for no other reason than the simple fact that it's the only new racer available on PS4 this year. It's slickly designed and just plain fun to play. There's room for improvement on the car selection, progression and customization, but what's there is a fun racer with some interesting social options that dedicated racers can take advantage of.
'Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor' combines familiar combat tricks and trademark Tolkien scenery with a unique Nemesis system to deliver one of the best new-gen experiences of the year.
'FIFA 15' represents a significant leap forward for the series and offers one of the the best soccer experiences from EA Sports.
'Forza Horizon 2' has delivered an over the top, open world hit for the Xbox One.
'Hyrule Warriors' delivers plenty of fan service for 'The Legend of Zelda' fans but fails to provide a compelling reason to keep playing.
'Heavy Bullets' delivers a nostalgic arcade-style shooter with an engaging, unique mechanic, but is a little too repetitive for comfort.
'Destiny' is a beautiful and addictive shooter despite its punishing loot system, dated MMO inspirations and incomplete story.
As the first next-gen entry in the series, 'NHL 15' breaks new ground - and the hopes of the hardcore fans along with it.
'The Sims 4' is finally here, bringing the series to a new generation with plenty of new features - while missing many others.
Dynamighty's stealthy spy side-scroller 'CounterSpy' has infiltrated PSN but should players choose to accept this mission, or disavow all knowledge of the game?
'Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney proves to be a strong match despite some clear growing pains.
Clementine's group is pushed to breaking point in 'The Walking Dead' season 2 finale, 'No Going Back.' (Spoilers in this review)
Madden NFL 15 is the best the series has looked and played in years, and is very close to coalescing into something truly impressive. One or two more years under these new consoles and more changes like those featured this year, and Madden just might reclaim its old glory.
