It sums up Bound by Flame well that although you’ll be deciding which end of the moral spectrum to play throughout, you’re still presented with the same options by the end of the game. This is a badly planned game that clearly suffered from time, management or technical issues during development and is best avoided.

Wargame: Red Dragon is the first title in the series to show a little wear and tear. It’s still an excellent strategy game and a showpiece in technological game design, but after three games in three years, and a lack of innovation from one game to another, it’s difficult to justify the full price tag.

Despite its vast complexity and many mechanics, Age of Wonders III remains remarkably accessible for a newcomer to the series such as myself. The variety of gameplay, environments, units and leaders means you’ll rarely be bored and allows you to play in whichever way you want. If Triumph Studios are also able to provide quality post-release content, Mr. Meier might just have to watch his back.

All in all, The Elder Scrolls Online is a great game, with one of the most successful MMO launches I have come across, despite some of the well-documented teething problems. As it stands, I can only see improvement here and Bethesda Softworks seem dedicated to making that happen.

For the minority, War of the Vikings is the ideal successor to the equally niche War of the Roses: it’s unusual, brutal, but incredibly fun at the right times. The viking theme doesn’t hurt, either, and will certainly work well to attract many more players than the English Civil War theme ever did. If you’re a fan of that original game, then this is a must buy, but for those simply intrigued by the prospect, it could easily be a bit too messy to enjoy.

Ether One is a sobering and thoughtful journey filled with intrigue and contemplation, rounded out with well-crafted and optional puzzle sections. This isn’t the kind of game which will appeal to everyone and if it’s action you’re after, I’d advise going elsewhere. However, if the prospect of experiencing a truly captivating story wrapped up in a exploration based puzzle game is an attractive one, then Ether One delivers and won’t disappoint.

It was a joy to play, although that may seem a terrible misuse of language, as it was enlightening in a way I’ve never experienced in a videogame. I can wholly recommend Actual Sunlight; it’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s an experience worth trying. I can guarantee you’ll learn something about the inner-workings of a depressed individual, and you never know when that knowledge will come in handy.

Overall, Tower Of Guns is a stunning example of how old-school design is still relevant and fun in today’s industry.

This quaint indie game goes a long way to proving that a game doesn’t have to centre itself around stunning graphics, intricate storylines or likeable characters in order to establish itself amongst some of the truly great indie titles out there today.

Smite adds a welcome twist to the MOBA formula and, with constant updates and tweaks made with the help of the community, doesn't look like it will be fizzling out anytime soon! If you've ever wanted to know what it would be like to throw Thor’s hammer into Poseidon’s face, look no further than Smite: Battleground of the Gods.

Hardcore fans of the genre and Daedalic Entertainment will find enough to like here with the developer’s trademark stunning art, believable voice acting and interesting setting, but an underwhelming story prevents 1954 Alcatraz from matching their stellar previous efforts.

Overall Garden Warfare is a game that takes the core strengths of shooters and makes them accessible to all. Its presentation is fantastic and infects the game with charm at every turn. If you’re looking for a fun time, PopCap gives it to you in spades. By ratcheting up the fun and lowering the seriousness, Garden Warfare gives its players what everyone wants from a video game: A good time.

If the Call of Duty series is the king of fast-paced, feature-packed warfare, then WoT is the polar opposite. This is a cleverly disguised strategy title, where direct assault means certain death.

Thief is a disappointment. However, laying beyond its shortcomings with movement mechanics, combat and narrative, is a satisfying core of theft and stealth that can, at times, still have you feeling like a master thief. If you’re looking for something to waste hours collecting digital trinkets on, and feeling like a total bad ass thief while doing so, then this may be for you. For anyone looking for a story-driven, combat-focused, narrative-based experience you’d be better off looking elsewhere.

Lords of Shadow 2 may not surpass its predecessors’ surprise rise to AAA status, but MercurySteam’s last foray into the series still provides a fitting, if sometimes flawed end to the trilogy.

A game of two halves, Lightning Returns isn’t a brilliant end to the XIII trilogy that you may have hoped for, but it’s enjoyable. Just try to ignore the coma-inducing story.

OlliOlli is a game that sounds good on paper, but in the end, doesn’t work. By the end, you realise you're just going through the same routine, except this time you’re flicking the analog stick a bit more than you were a few minutes ago. Only take this one if you’re really desperate for something to play when you’re on the bus.
