Polygon's Reviews
Episode 4 is a step back for the season and the series
Cry Wolf wraps The Wolf Among Us on a high note
Valiant Hearts is an effective, playable history lesson
Wildstar is familiar territory, but it's smartly made and fun nonetheless
Rise of the Dark Spark is a colossal failure
Shovel Knight is the kind of game people write love letters about
EA Sports UFC feels barely held together, a collection of parts that are often as frustrating as they are poorly explained. Somewhere, in all of the complication and opacity, is a game unlike anything else out there, that finds the unpredictability and wildness that set MMA apart from other combat sports. But there's an awful lot of bad to dig through to find it.
The Last Tinker: City of Colors left me with a dopey grin
Tomodachi Life is undeniably charming
It's an earnest look at life under tough economic pressure, at love when things don't go according to plan and at a creative career during its shittiest lows. It has a lot to say, and importantly, it speaks from the heart.
Pushmo World offers a constant trickle of "A-ha!" moments
Tropico 5 made me feel powerful in the worst way
Murdered: Soul Suspect is awash in tropes, but somehow, that's part of the charm. It's a pulpy detective tale remixed as a classic ghost story, and it works as a sort of playable B-movie.
In Sheep's Clothing gives in to the dark side
Among the Sleep builds an engaging, terrifying experience on top of simple, buggy mechanics
WATCH DOGS OPEN WORLD IS TRUMPED BY ITS SMART, LAYERED MECHANICS
DreadOut's potential is never realized in its messy first act

Mario Kart 8 doesn't mess with the formula much, but it left me smiling
