A new Nintendo classic. Splatoon is an artistic and competitive triumph that demands you play ‘just one more round’ again and again.

Not a Hero is silly bloodbath whose gameplay and humor are best enjoyed in small doses. Sliding from floor to floor is a ton of fun, but, unfortunately, the entire game can be played through in a fairly short time.

Magicka 2 flashes potential in its gameplay, but can’t come up with a way to turn that potential into a good game. Couple the boring design with the technical issues and it’s a difficult game to recommend.

With Van Helsing III, the franchise stumbles at the final hurdle, failing to capitalize on ideas from its predecessors and even regressing in some areas. While still a competent action-RPG, it is a disappointing finish to a good series.

Among the many buttons to be found in gamers' hearts, two very common ones are “Just One More Turn!” and “Don’t Let Them See Me.” Invisible Inc hits these buttons over and over again, right on the money, and putting triple-A titles to shame in the art of excellent stealth gameplay.

A beautiful, charming and often funny adventure with lovable and believable characters. The gameplay, however, can be a little repetitive, but as a whole, Broken Age is a love letter to point and click fans and an artistic triumph.

Sunless Sea truly does capture what it must feel like to be a ship’s captain on a dark underground ocean - sometimes it feels exciting and wondrous, but usually it feels lethargic and dreary. I should’ve stayed in London and became a shopkeeper.

It is nice, refreshing even, to see Assassin’s Creed doing something a little different from the norm. But the differences are only skin deep. Much of ACC: China is routine and unpolished, failing to capitalize on an opportunity to stand out from the rest of the series.

There’s no arguing Mortal Kombat’s timeless design, but the newest entry doesn't attempt to evolve the fighting genre or even the franchise itself. And yet, Mortal Kombat X is a competent fighting game, and it bears the marks of an experienced team that knows how to give their fans what they want.

Painfully unsatisfying for what its ambitions suggest, but a well-crafted boss rush and a solid example of masocore gameplay outside a platforming format nonetheless.

Helldivers can be quite fun, and the experience is so fine-tuned that the issues it does have - like matchmaking and the occasional frame rate issues - stand out like sore thumbs.

Mario Party 10 is a plumber bash at its most average, and that’s a real shame as there still seems to be legs in the idea, if properly handled. As it is, though, you’re probably better off rooting out one of the classics.
