Wasteland 2
"From time to time the pace drops away, but for the most part this is an enthralling and engaging role-playing game."

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution
Without a specific story arc, does Revolution have enough content to convince fans?
Planetary Annihilation
"It's a very good work-in-progress, but perhaps it's not quite finished just yet."
Text: Mike Holmes
The Sims 4
The latest installment in EA's popular Sims franchise leaves us feeling disappointed.
Text: Simon Eriksson
Surgeon Simulator: A&E Anniversary Edition
"Even though the first couple of hours are hilarity incarnate, Surgeon Simulator never manages to become anything more than an extended party trick."
Metro Redux
"They encourage and reward exploration and support several different styles of play. Whether you like frenetic gunfights or tactical stealth, you will find what you need here."
Text: Oliver Thulin
Sacred 3
The phrase ‘a good laugh' suggests a few things.
Text: Johannes Leander
The Expendabros
"It brings a bit of Broforce to the movie franchise, and at the same time acts a wonderful advert for the game."
Text: Mike Holmes
Titanfall: Frontier's Edge
"The new maps in Titanfall are all decent, and if you're still playing the game, you'd do well to pick them up."
Text: Mike Holmes
Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King
"The new area is interesting, the enemies are more challenging than ever before, and it's long enough that you'll feel you got value for your money."
Text: Philip Lauritz Poulsen
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark
"It's a solid if unspectacular game, low on content and complexity, but ultimately playable enough for it not to be a write-off."
Text: Mike Holmes
Wildstar
"With a rock solid group portion of the game, even though that lacks innovation, Wildstar manages to establish its niche in the MMO space."
Text: Josten Holmgren
Light
"As it stands Light offers a really solid hour or two of game, but not a lot more. We'll leave it to you to decide whether that's worth the price of admission."
Text: Mike Holmes
Always Sometimes Monsters
"If you've any interest in experiencing games that fire questions instead of bullets, then you'd do well to check it out."
Text: Mike Holmes
Sniper Elite 3
"While the campaign is shorter than before, Rebellion has done a decent job of fleshing out the game as a whole."
Text: Mike Holmes
Valiant Hearts: The Great War
"Imagine if the Beano or Dandy devoted themselves to realistic World War I comic strips. There's no punches pulled here, and certain sub-chapters are hard to stomach."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Grid: Autosport
"This could have been so much more, offering something fresh to core fans while summarising the best of the past. As it is, this feels nothing more than a stopgap."
Text: Morten Bækkelund
Tropico 5
El Presidente returns to rule his loyal subjects, but there is plenty of new stuff to take in with the latest entry in the Tropico franchise.
Text: Tobias Garsten
Wolfenstein: The New Order
"Machine Games hasn't crafted the perfect shooter, but they've given it a good go and the results are decent."
Text: Mike Holmes
Transistor
"It's beautiful, memorable, highly replayable, deep, stellar from a sound perspective, but ultimately falls just short of the high bar set by Bastion."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Full Bore
"It brings back memories of old Disney platform games like Aladdin and The Lion King, which is a big, big compliment."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Smite
"Despite the cool Gods at war theme, balancing issues and clumsy matchmaking present too much of a hindrance for us to truly enjoy this MOBA title."
Text: Johannes Leander
Bound by Flame
"In the end, and surprisingly after those first few hours, Spiders manages to deliver a compelling story; enough to raise our verdict a couple of notches from our original impression."
Text: Martin Eiser
Octodad: Dadliest Catch
It's easy to see why this game so quickly earned its pledge amount on Kickstarter.
Daylight
"You'll have to make the call whether the imperfect result of an interesting idea is worth the money."
Text: Stefan Briesenick
War of the Vikings
"It's still an utterly punishing game, and while it is certainly easier to pick up, it's still very tricky to master."
Text: Mike Holmes
Trials Fusion
"The bike balancing is still perfect, tracks the right side of tricky, the worlds rich in detail. And we'll go against popular consensus - the music's brilliant."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Infested Planet
"Infested Planet is relentless pressure, it's turning the tide, it's holding off until you've got that all important foothold, then it's about mercilessly destroying your enemy."
Text: Mike Holmes
Mercenary Kings
"It could have been a classic, but instead we're left with what's merely a solid experience."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Platformines
Magiko Gaming serves what appeared to be a mix of a 2D Borderlands and Terraria, but ultimately fell short of the target.
Text: Adrian Berg
The Elder Scrolls Online
We've now spent 12 days playing The Elder Scrolls Online, and now we're finally ready to offer our verdict on the ambitious MMORPG take on the popular Elder Scrolls franchise.
Text: Oskar Nyström
Betrayer
"We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the sound design is very good, but by the end it started to feel like a grind."
Text: Mike Holmes
FTL: Faster Than Light - Advanced Edition
"We really liked FTL before, but thanks to the changes made by Subset Games, now we absolutely love it."
Text: Mike Holmes
Goat Simulator
"Ugly, short, broken. Goat Simulator may be an artistic critique on the indie scene. Or maybe its just a very crap game about an apocalyptic goat."
Text: Fabrizia Malgieri
TowerFall Ascension
"There's single player distractions if you need them, but at the heart of it sits a fantastic multiplayer shooter."
Text: Mike Holmes
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
"Blizzard brings more adventure, more loot and more randomness to Diablo III."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Windforge
"To get to the good stuff - the crafting, the aerial battles, the flying whales, the exploration - you've got a brave a few other, less welcoming elements."
Text: Mike Holmes
Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode 2
"This could have been the crowning moment of the Bioshock series."
Text:
Jonas Mäki
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z
"At its best, it's low-brow gory fun, but in comparison to some of the great games releasing at the moment, it's definitely one of the poorer titles of 2014."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Luftrausers
"It's harsh, uncompromising action that tests the reflexes like the coin-munching arcade games of yesteryear."
Text: Mike Holmes
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
"All in all Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a colourful, addictive and high quality collectable card game."
Text: Mika Sorvari
Dark Souls II
"The game has lost none of its relentless difficulty, and the many improvements make it a great experience for veterans and newcomers. But it may not be for everybody."
Text: Philip Lauritz Poulsen
Titanfall
"Titanfall's a damn fine multiplayer shooter worth your time and money: that's the bottom line."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Tower of Guns
"Tower of Guns is an exercise in patience, fortitude and old school twitch reflexes. It's an arcade game with an endless supply of enemies and a single goal, get to the top of the tower."
Text: Adrian Berg
South Park: The Stick of Truth
"It's fun and entertaining, and beneath the simple surface and the fart jokes there's a surprisingly well functioning RPG."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition
"On the outside it might just look like big, metallic monsters brutishly blasting away at each other, but there's actually a refreshing amount of tactical depth here."
Text: Mike Holmes
Rambo: The Video Game
"There are virtually no redeeming features as John Rambo makes it over to the video game scene a few decades after his heydays."
Text: Tobias Garsten
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
"Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 takes elements of the first game to pioneer the interconnected world - Symphony of the Night - and mixes it in with the God of War series."
Text: Kim Visnes
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
"It's a much better game than you'd think. But we can't help but feel this would have made a better case as a Xbox Live Arcade title rather than a (nearly) full-priced retail release."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Thief
"Yes, it's got issues, and no, it's not perfect, but underneath some suffocating design decisions is a really solid game."
Text: Mike Holmes
