It's a rarity nowadays to actually get that sense of accomplishment without something looming over your head that has you asking what's next, and wondering when you'll get to pay to see it. If Bioware never released another bit of downloadable content or standalone game, I'd earnestly chalk this adventure up as one of the best I've ever taken in a video game world.

I have a hard time saying that I hated this game, despite the number of things that I obviously disliked about it. It's not without its fun moments and has its fair share of difficulty. Its extremely short campaign, horribly linear mechanics, and unimaginative level design ultimately ruin the experience.

Conventional. This is one word that does not describe Asura’s Wrath and the over-the-top storytelling experience that encompasses the recent release by Cyberconnect 2.

2012 is not the brightest of years for gaming if you happen to be an FPS fan. GCI however, is one shooter that is not to be overlooked in this regard.

Combat systems have always had a major role in role playing games like the Final Fantasy franchise, but never has the story taken such a back seat to the on-screen action.

Whatever type of fighting game fan you are, casual or hardcore, Soul Calibur V has exactly what you are looking for, whether that be a new game to master or fun with friends.

Ultimately the one core idea behind NeverDead just isn’t enough to compensate for the wealth of mediocre and downright poorly executed gameplay mechanics.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel further refines the existing Borderlands formula, but it is far from a notable evolution of the experience. Shooting and looting is as fun as ever and characters feel varied, a definite step forward. However, uninspired mission design and a lacking narrative are all too constant and familiar issues.

UFC 3 very well may be EA’s best release in the series, but it’s only by a small margin that they’ve improved on their previous effort.

Right in the sweet spot between being fun and challenging, Helldivers is a superb cooperative experience that keeps you coming back for more. Arrowhead layers on thoughtful progression and customization to keeps things interesting on a mission by mission basis, and while these features deserve praise on their own, how the community takes to the Galactic Campaign could turn a great, ambitious game into unparalleled cooperative nirvana.

This is undoubtedly one of the best platformers ever made, whether judging it by it beautiful style, addictive and unique gameplay, or its overwhelming amount of content. Rayman Legends was definitely worth the wait.

This game is a blast from start to finish, and best enjoyed with a friend. Strangers work too, and it’s worth a look even for the lone indie gamer.

Madden NFL 25 is definitely an iteration year. EA’s fine-tuned and polished what was introduced last year, and it feels like one of the most complete packages for a Madden game in the last three or four years.

Dragon's Crown is one of the most beautiful games that has ever graced the PlayStation 3 or PS Vita, and that's saying something at the tail end of a generation that saw an impressive leap in visuals. Dragon's Crown is one of the best games this genre has ever seen, because of its sheer depth and breadth of options.

This whole game had potential to be a great remake, a spiritual successor, and so much more, but ultimately, fans of the original will want their memories back, and new players will want to forget it all together.

The core gameplay of Payday 2 does make a fun game. Although it has many small, easily fixable, issues, none of them really ruin the experience to the point of no return and it can still be extremely enjoyable, Bain’s voice be damned. The game isn’t perfect, but there really aren’t many heist games like the Payday series, and of those that exist, none of them can even compare. Singleplayer can basically be ignored because Payday 2 knows what it is: A game designed for co-op multiplayer where players work together to complete objectives. Be it committing genocide on all the cops in Washington DC or being more stealthy than Stealth Stealtherson McStealthington, add the fact that it’s a whole 50% cheaper than most games at release and you will find that Payday 2 is a game built where you will enjoy yourself either way.

Cloudberry Kingdom does check all the boxes of what to have in a platforming game, and in many areas, offers a lot more. It's just that the whole doesn't feel like it equals the sum of its parts. For whatever reason, it never really comes together into the cohesive experience that some of the games it tries to emulate, do.
